 of Sir John Simon

LONDON, May 2.-The Chinese Government has been assured by Great Britain that China's inter- ests were uppermost in the mind of Sir John Simmon last Monday when he said Japan's "specia rights in China were recognized by other powers"

GEORGE FOLTA
 TO HEAD PIT. A.
 FOR NEXT YEAR
Large Audience Enjoys Splendid Musical Pro-
 gram at School

George Folta was chosen as president of the Parent Teacher Association for the coming year in the election held at the meeting in the Grade School Auditorium last evening. Mrs. c. P. Jenne was elected vice-president and Mrs. O. E. Harland, secretary-treasurer.
 Those who will serve on the executive board for the next year are Mrs. Walter White, Trevor Davis and Waino Hendrickson.
 Following the business meeting a delightful and well received musi- cal program was given. Willis E. Nowell's violin ensemble classes were enthusiastically applauded by the large audience and those who heard them expressed themselves as being delighted with such won- derful addition to the musical life of Juneau.
 This was the first appearance of the classes before the general pub lie and lovers of fine music are al- ready looking forward to hearing the violinists again in the near fu- ture. Though they were persis- tently encored, the length of the program prevented giving addition al numbers.
 Girls Glee Club
 In addition to the violin num- bers, the singing by the Girls Glee Club of the grade school and dem- onstration of class work by the stu dents of the 9th and 7th grades was of the finest order. The dem- onstration covered the regular class work as it is carried on day by day, without accompaniment and Miss Alice Palmer, director, was highly praised for her splendid training. Over 40 took part in the Glee Club singing and though it has but recently been organized, the singing was excellent and was well liked by the audience.
 Address Omitted
 Due to the lateness of the hour, and because he felt it would take too long to do justice to the re- view of Our Movie Made Chil- dren," recently published and most interesting book, the Rev. interest in the subject, that the talk be omitted from the program. However, so many of the audience approached him after the meeting and expressed disappointment and interest in the subject, tha tthe Rev. Glasse has decided to give his review at the services next Sun day evening in the Presbyterian Church.
 The book is based upon the findings of scientists who have studied the influence of the mo- tion pictures upon the youth of to- day, and has been extensively dis cussed by educators, parents and others interested in children.
 This was the last meeting to be held by the Parent Teacher Asso- ciation until next fall

Holds the Earl Has Arrived.


"A FTER the game Cronin expressed
IA himself as well satisfied with
Whitehill's performance and
that he believed the Earl at last is
ready to give his club the high-grade
pitching that made him the second
best southpaw on record in the cir
cult last season.
Up until Russell's collapse in the
ninth it was a see-saw contest with
the Nationals never back. They got
IL hits off big Charley Rufing, 10
of them before the ninth session. The
Yanks kept fighting back. but each
time they got up to tie Cecil Travis
swung effectively enough to put his
side in front again.
The Nationals tailed first, run
coming in the first inning from
Kuhel's single, Myers double and
Manush's infield erasure. Gehrig
matched that with his homer sand
wiched between Ruth's and Chap
mans strikeouts in the fourth. But
the champs came right back for an
other marker. With two out in their
fourth turn, Schultz and Stone
walked, then Travis hit for a base.
With a squeeze play in the sixth
the visitors tied again. Hoag had
reached third by his single, Crosetti's
sacrifice and Ruth's out. With Hoag
winging, Gehrig dropped a bunt down
the third-base line Travis ran in
and stood over the ball, hoping it
would roll foul. 1t reached the chalk
line and Travis scooped, but he had
been too fast. The ball still was in
fair territory although on the stripe.

Boxing Is not only great sport,
