SAFETY IN FLYING

Furthermore, the risk increases with
the number of remaining engines need

PIGS is NOT PIGS
BY DIR. JOHN ANDREW HOLM

BY DIR. JOHN ANDREW HOLMES
Clergyman. Writer. Lecturer.
IF YOU had the necessary CAPT
i tai, the government would pay
you to not raise pigs, and if you
had been on relief, you could be en-
ployed on public works, but If young
man graduates tomorrow with neither
poverty nor riches, perhaps I can give
him no better counsel than this: If
you can find a girl with steady job,
kneel at her feet and tell her frankly
and with real emotion that you cannot
live without her.

The wave of crime, charged to the

the Owl pool hall in El Centro,
when two armed men walked into
the card room, threatened propri-
etors and patrons with rifles, and
walked out with cash from card
tables. A third man was believed
waiting outside for the two robbers.

came at the junction of the CaleX-

way where federal immigration
officers and California highway
patrolmen had parked an automo-
bile across the highway.
Corley and his companions, traV-
cling at so miles an hour, crashed
into the parked car. Dazed. they
were captured without resistance.
Subsequently, the three were said
to have admitted to Tom Sharp,
chief criminal deputy sheriff, that
they robbed the El Centro pool hall,
the Bonds Corner store and killed
Null. Their alleged confessions will
play a prominent part in the trial.

FOOTBALL-u0RE THAN JUST A SPORT

Thousands Of young Americans, rang
ing from adolescence TO manhood, don
ned football suits today. trotted onto
fields the length and breadth of the land
and met thousands of other young AM
orleans in the nations greatest inter
scholastic sport They strained mind
and muscle in a drive to win. They
played under rules dictated by sports
manship. When the fight of the game
was over, they were friends again. They
were playing under the rules they will
find for the greater game into which
they will be thrown when school is over.
Football is more than lust diversion
From the stands, it IS intensely interest
ing. To the players it IS all-absorbing,
for the moment. But there is more than
the interest of the game and the glory of
making the team for those players.
There is health, primarily No boy or
man who has allowed his body to deter
iorate can go through the gruelling ses-
sions necessary for football player.
Rigid training, abstinence from b
habits, and proper diet are requisites to
the good football player. Practice in
later years of the rules he learns on the
football field will make of any youth

milk shed area:
Dairy COW replacements.-From
January through September. 1885,
over $4,000 replacements and addi-
tions were made in the Los An
geles milk shed of which close TO
30 per cent originated outside of the

vantageous if dairymen IN regions
of plentiful feed realized the needs
of the market milk producers in
feed deficient areas for disease-free,
high-producing cows. It would be
desirable if the shipments Of cows
into the Los Angeles milk shed
could be carefully regulated.
'Milk-cow prices in California
have increased almost 40 per cent

man who is physically fit to carry on the
work that will fail to his lot
Even above the matter of physical con-
dition is the mental attitude instilled in
to those thousands of boys and young
men on the nations football fields.
Sportsmanship is not matter purely of
football. baseball or athletics of any
kind 1t is a thing which, carried into
everyday life, makes the true sports
man a man among men. He will win his
battle if he can, but he will win it fair
~ His word can be trusted. Even his
enemies have no fear of an underhanded
blow. They know the fight will be fair
but they know. too. that it will be hard
A gentleman and a sportsman are al
most synonymous.
There is more to football than running
signals, carrying the ball and scoring
touchdowns. There is more than the
brief time spent on the practice and
playing fields.
There is training in football for the
work of the future. but there is duty
to coaches and fans, too, to see that the
training is properly given.
Sportsmanship in the stands and in
the coaching staffs are Just as necessary
as craftsmanship on the field.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. - This seat

he is just not interested in kicking

to feel I've spoiled his movie. There,

No, he's gone back to the old
listlessness. l can hear him when
he gets home telling the folks how
he seems to have lost his knack.
No heart, no fire, just a desultory
kick now and then and he becomes
absolutely absorbed by what is go

will wander!
Who knows, in his day he might
have been a foremost kicker Then

buy tickets.
Miss Wood is versatile. If she
isn't working in pictures or on the
stage, she writes She translates
plays and musicals from German.
Her father, Eugene Wood, was a
widely known writer, her husband is
John v A. Weaver, Well-knoWn as

Taboos of the theatre mean little

She likes everything but pistachio

If this be treason, make the most

Selznick is of the opinion the
