Pig Nurse Stunt
Spurs Legion
Campaign

ARLINGTON COURT
HOUSE, Va, April 27.-The
Legionaires of Arlington county
don't want pigs. This is obvious.
Since the "Piggie-go-round"
game was established here by
the American Legion post, one
little pig has changed hands
nearly a dozen times and the
post has added a dozen new
members.
Here's the game. The local
post put on a membership drive.
Results were poor. So they
bought an infant pig and every
member who has failed to bring
in at least one new member
must take the little pig and play
nursemaid until he has secured
a member. The game started
Thursday and the pig has been
ION the go" every since.

/. ISLE REVOLT
"COnditions in Puerto Rico
have never been quieter."

conditions in Puerto Rico
have never been quieter."
This statement came today
from the islands governor, Brig.
Gen. Blanton Winship, here to
discuss affairs of his territorial
command with President Roose-
welt. 1t was in denial of recent
reports that a revolt threatened
Puerto Rico.
At the same time Governor
Winship branded as ridiculous
a recently published report that
he had left orders with the acting
governor of the island to declare
martial law Immediately should
any disturbance occur during his
absence in the Capital. He de-
clared:
"When / left Puerto Rico con-
ditiOnS were never quieter. I
had word from my secretary
this morning telling me things
were running smoothly. There
isn't any indication of trouble
there now, and there isn't going
to be any,"
Governor Winship admitted
there had been a slight furry
of excitement there during the
session of the Puerto Rican legisia-
ture, and that several "intem-
perate remarks had been made"
This disturbance, he said, was cen
tered about a report that a bill
before the legislature, creating an
insular corporation for rehabilita-
ton of Puerto Rico, would receive
an Executive veto.

 OF SALVATION
 ARMY'S DRIVE
Capt. Lesher Asks Citizens Not to Say, Come
 Back Tomorrow

When Capt R. B. Lesher of the Salvation Army asks for a dona- ton to the $1,0O0 drive being con- ducted by that organization in Juneau, don't say, Not just now; come back tomrrow."
 That is the wish of Capt. Lesh- CT, who, tomorrow, will begin his organizations one-week drive.
 AS usual" Capt. Lesher said. we are aiming at a $1 ,000 total. We didn't realize that goal last year, only getting about $770.
 But this year, as much as in any year in the city's history, we really need $1,O0O to successfully carry on our welfare work"
 Capt. Lesher, apparently, will need the cooperation of the citys business and professional men in not asking him to come back tomorrow" Because, instead of having the help of an assistant as in the past-Capt. Lesher will do the entire canvassing him. self. There is no local commit tee aiding him.

RIDDEN PUBLIC
 EMPLOYEE BILL
 BEFORE SENATE
M e easure Would Prohibit Taking Outside Jobs
 for Compensation

After being vigorously supported by it's author, Henry Roden, and assailed at some length by other members, the Senate yesterday passed to third reading and final action today the Roden bill which would prohibit any public employee getting $50 a month or more from accepting other work for compen- sation.
 It was argued by Senator Roden that it was not fair that those in public office do work on the out side when there are so many others that need jobs. He pointed out the national scheme was one Of spreading work and that public employees on the whole received substantial salaries.
 BruneIIe Attacks It
 Attack the measure as class dis crimination, Senator M. E. s. Brun- ellie declared the bill took away the natural right of every person to better his condition in life.
 Why. to look at this bill you would think Huey Long had writ ten it." he said. Tt legislates against certain class of people and I'm very much against it.

LIQUOR BILLS 1. ARE: TABLED BY.
 SENATE GROUP
Three Measures Win Ap proval of Upper House
 at Afternoon Session

Three measures were passed by the Senate this afternoon and the two hquor bills, one calling for a license system and the other Ter ritorial liquor stores, were tabled Bills passed were:
 Senate Bill 36, allowing husband or wife to dipose of property in estates; Senate Joint Resolution 9 allowing the museum privilege to use the ,Rauch 5000 donation. to buy such articles as it considers necessary, and the House memorial asking the Federal Communications Commission to permit the Ketchi- kan radio station to increase it's power to 2,500 watts.
 Carrying several amendments, the Powers bill aimed to strike at drunkenness in public places was passed to third reading and final action. Measures proposing crea- tion of a Pioneer Women's Home and installation of radio phones in the First Division were continued.
 Question arose in the Senate whether there were sufficient pio- ner women who would take ad- vantage of the home if it were erected and the measure was put over for further information.
 The Roden radio telephone was continued for purpose of amend ment, to make it more general in scope. Tn it's present shape it asks an appropriatiom of $15,00O for phones in the First Division only, fifty per cent of such funds to be taken out of the First Division road funds. Senator Campbell de- clared his intent to bring in an amendment making the bill ap- plicable to the entire Territory and providing communities desiring radio phones be required to put up at least 25 per cent of the cost.

SEAPLANE HAS : BUSY DAY WITH
 FIVE AIR TRIPS
Patco, Piloted by Simmons, Sent to Chichagof
 Twice Today

Making five flights, the seaplane Patco recorded one of its busiest days of air transportation busi- ness out of Juneau today. | Early this morning, Pilot Shell don Simmons took Dan Moller of the Forest Service on an obser- vation flight over the city. The plane scircled above Juneau and nearby territory at a height of 5000 feet. aN
 The second flight of the day was a vain attempt to rush E. E. Olson to the soutnbound Princess Norah. Olson missed connections with the vessel here this morning and he was flown to the travelling boat near Grand Island. However, the water was too rough to per init landing.
 Next, in rapid order, came two trips, one to Chichagof, taking three passengers, and the other to Divers Inlet, taking one passeng- CT and supplies to the Dewitt Logging Company scene of opera tions.
 The last flight, on which the Patco will not return here until tomorrow, was to Sitka via Chicha- gof. c. O. Rhoades and Paul Sor- enson were taken to Cnichagof, and Tom Morgan, Columbia Lum- Der Company manager. was flown for an overnight stay at Sitka.
 On the first flight to Chichagof, Harold Gallwas was brought back as an incoming passenger.

More knowledge Of Spanish
Needed

Citing the intimate relations existing between the
border state Of Texas and the Republic Of Mexico,
the McAllen Chamber Of Commerce is on record by
resolution addressed to the State Department of
Education, favoring the compulsory teaching of
Spanish In the high schools OF Texas.
There is much to be said in favor Of such action
by the State Board ot Education. AS the resolution
points out, Texas history is irretrieva5ly bound with
that OF Mexico. Mutual interests are connecting the
state and the republic by even closer bonds. Texans
should know Mexico and should know its language.
Especially is this true OF the Valley. and as re-
CARDS the Valley there are many to be found vino
will think that the resolution does not 20 far enough.
Not only should Spanish be made a compulsory
study in Valley high schools, they will maintain, but
courses in conversational Spanish should be a part
Of the curriculum OF our Valley grammar schools, or
at least Of the junior high school course Of study.
1t is sad but true, that a great majority OF the
children born right here on the Mexican border, can
not speak, write or read the Spanish language. Most
Of these children have no more knowledge Of the
Spanish language than their parents who were born
In other sections Of Texas or in the north and east.
The children Of Mexican descent attend schools
conducted in English, and perforce gain a working
knowledge Of the English language, but the children
OF American descent make no effort, and are given
no help toward learning the language Of their border
companions.
we Oh III sdlcy olOulu ACdAA1C NAaN S"ASA6 -
the Spanish language is just about one Of the best
helps toward earning a living with which our chill
dren could be equipped. Graduates Of Brownsviles
high school and Junior college who have secured the
best positions in recent years have secured those
positions with firms operating in Mexico or In South
and Central America. and invariably the fact these
particular graduates had a fine working knowledge
of the Language of these countries was an essential
requirement Of their employment.
The man or woman who speaks both English and
Spanish fluently is equipped to serve many business
ventures that cannot use the person speaking only
English. Right now it appears that the opportunity
for those who speak Spanish is even greater than ever
before. With deep water development at hand in the
Valley it Is certain that the importing and exporting
business between the United States and Mexico
through the Valley will gain an important place in
our commercial life. Positions will be open to those
who speak both languages, and only to them. II
Valley young men and young women find that per-
sons are being brought in from the outside TO fill
those positions, they may blame their parents who
have not insisted that they learn the Spanish
language and the school systems that do not teach
the Spanish language to an extent necessary to
fluent speaking Of the tongue.
Spanish should be made a required course OF study
from the lower grades right through our higher
courses.
