The following is taken from the
Punctuality and Attendance Report fol-
the second six weeks of the first semes-
ter OF 1888: The punctuality has de-
clined in marked degree The number
of tardy marks reached 27; for cor
responding period last year it was Is
The High School has the least enviable
record in punctuality, not on account
of their percentage but because of their
more responsible age. We should ex-
pect the punctuality to improve In Older
pupils. Their response in the next 81,
weeks will be watched with interes
for while they have never had per-
feet record in this respect they have
been down as low as two tardies for thu

any second-grade gasoline unnec-
essary, and naturally we did not
care to lower our reputation by
marketing any cut-price product.
Consequently, our one and only
motor fuel, premium in perform
ance, remains regular in price, due
to the great savings effected by
our elimination of duplication. Just
think what a great saving this is
and you can instantly see why our
highest grade sells at the price of
ordinary gasolines. In place of two
or three grades torefine, we have
only one. In place of hauling two
or three grades, we have to haul
only one. And in place of having
separate pumps to sell two or three
grades, we have only one. That's
why Blue Sunoco can be sold at
regular gas price"

ers, no reckless driving in heavy
traffic. Do your swimming in a.
safe place where there is a life
guard on duty. Don't let down the
bars Of caution in any way just

safety in advance and you won't

movement, deaths and serious in

giant fire cracker is a rarety now.
It's sale is prohibited by ordinance
in many cities but even the smaller
fire crackers are dangerous. Don't
let anyone say that they are not.
They caused between $4,000 and
$4,000 injuries last year and a
number of these injuries undoubt-

death later. If you have children

ly. "All the money that I put by

She settled herself down by the
window in the train, feeling in her
new clothes that she was too no.

meet no one she knew. She moved
over to a very margin of her seat

Survey Reveals Speedy
Readers Remember More

Berkeley, Calif.-Fast readers are
better readers than slow ones, an
educational survey has shown.
Evidence supporting this contra
diction of common belief was re-
ported at the University Of California
by DIR. John a. Hockett, assistant
professor Of education, after a SCI
ries of tests with his students.
The fastest readers remember
: more Of what they have read than
slow readers, Doctor Hockett found.
He asked 20 questions Of his stu
dents, based on text they had read
In two minutes.
The group of students that read
fastest answered an average of 12.7
questions correctly, the middle third
answering 11.8 questions correctly,
and the slowest reading third an
swered only 1c.4 correctly.
The group tested by Doctor Hook
ett was composed mostly of grad
uate students in education. The
students read at speeds varying
from $40 to 900 words a minute,
with the average 265 words a min
ute. The text dealt with education
al problems.
A group of teachers in an Oak
land elementary school, given the
same test. read an average Of 203
words a minute, with individual
maximum and minimum of 185
and 800 words a minute.

ONLY ONE GRADE OF SUNOCC
n. j. RoOpe, the District Manager
For Delaware, Tells Why

The local branch office of the
Sun Oil Company reports that mo-
torists of this district are greatly
interested in the fact that the COM
pany has but one grade Of motor
fuel and reports, also, that several
residents have asked many ques-
tions about this unique situation.
In reply, Mr.. N. ]. Roope, manager
of the office, has written as fol-
lows: Briefly, the fact that we
have but one grade of motor fuel,
Blue Sunoco, is based on the COM
pany's policy, which is much diff
ferent from that of the average
company. You see," he continued,
most refiners charge an extra
price for their highest and finest
grade of gasoline, then they also
market regular priced gasoline
and, finally, some of them have a
cut-price gas as well. Well, to
make long story short, the Sun
Oil Company, some six or seven
years ago discovered that through
extra skill in refining we could
make premium performing.
knockless motor fuel, Blue Sunoco,
and also found that by concentrat-
ing all our equipment, time and eff
fort on this premium-performing
motor fuel, we could sell it at reg
ular gas price. In other words. we
could sell our finest product at no
extra cost. Of course, this made

Long Beach a Trif1e Groggy
But Not Conquered

LONG BEACH, Cal, March IA
G.N.SO.-In the cold gray fogs
that have been shrouding Long
Beach at dusk and dawn, little
winking campfires begin to burn,
sending out flickering lights
across lawns and parkways and
vacant lots, and down grassy
slopes. Long Beach housewives
are cooking their meals.
The ruddy flames, burning like
sentinel fires of ancient days, are
like the unfaltering courage that
marks the stricken area.
The cold fogs that seek to
dampen the grateful warmth are
like the untrue stories of cpl
denies and new disasters, almost
as much of blow to the stricken
section as was the first terrific
tremor.
Long Beach Not Defeated
Long Beach is a pale and hag.
gard town, but not a defeated
one.
Men go by with unshaven faces
and rumpled linen. Women wear
mussy house dresses in which
many apparently have slept. Hot
baths are an unknown luxury.
Faces are strained and weary.
There has been little sleep since
that homecoming hour Friday
night when primeval forces moved
the old earth. But there is no
despair in any face.
There is no gas here. House
holders cook their meals wherever
it is safe, with rnakeshift con.
trivances that cause much merri-
ment.
A five-gallon oil can, a hearth
made of bricks from fallen Chin
neys, piece of heavy tin laid
across some bricks provide a
"Stove."
The women bend over their
cooking in the smoky dusk. There
are voices calling, and the sound
of the laughter of little children,
to whom this whole event has a
holiday aspect.
Kitchen hooks have been robbed
of their narrow tables and chairs
for eating facilities. In one front
yard is an elaborate bridge set
of tables and chairs in bright red.
In the next yard is an unpainted
kitchen table, with planks laid on
boxes for seats.
The coffee pot on a sheet of
iron begins to shake. The earth
quiverS with a new temblor.
Are they afraid? Of course.
We're all afraid when old mother
earth trembles.
But you'd never guess it. They
call out to one another:

CHICAGO PICKS
MAYOR TODAY

CHICAGO, March IA G.N.S0
Members of the City Council to-
day were summoned to special
meeting called for this afternoon
to declare the mayors chair
vacant and to elect by secret
ballot a temporary successor to
the late Mayor Anton ]. Cermak
The special election call, issued
by two Republican and one Demo
cratic councilmen, caused
furore in the Democratic circles
that Cermak dominated before
an assassin's bullet brought his
death in Miami. Party leaders
interpreted the move as chal-
lenge of the Cermak policies.
The council meeting, it was
proposed in the call, would select
an alderman to serve as mayor
pro tempore until a special elec-
tion can be arranged, perhaps in
June.
At a meeting of Democratic
county leaders Sunday it was
agreed that the party's central
committee was to recommend a
candidate for temporary mayor,
an agreement tossed aside by the
call for today's special meeting.
Democratic leaders explained that
under a secret ballot this after
noon their majority lineup might
be seriously diminished.
