Stormy Weather
Moves North To
Bay City Area

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. UE
An unstable air mass, buffeted
northward by a tropical storm,
brought the Pacific coast area a
taste of down east" midsummer
weather today as scattered show
ers and thunderstorms were report
ed throughout the area.
The prospect was for additional
rainfall and thunderstorms in most
regions tonight and tomorrow.
The disturbance brought the
coast area its first general rain
fall of the season, and narrowed
the range of the thermometer to
highly unusual tropical readings.
Humidity rose.
The mercury here varied only
13 degrees during the % hours end
ing at 5 a. m. today. The maxi
mum was 10 and the minimum a
balmy 81. Maximum readings rose
at many places ordinarily cooler

moderating effect at torrid South
ern California, Arizona and San
Joaquin Valley points.
Fresno's maximum was 88 while
its minimum, usually several de-
grees lower, was "a. Los Angeles
had maximum of SO and a mini
mum of 73, Sacramento reported a
81 and IA and Roseburg temper
ature of 80 and 76.
The U. S. weather bureau here
said first symptoms of the advanc-
ing tropical weather were noted
about the middle of last week. Ad-
vancing gradually northward, the
tropical, unstable" air masses pro-
ductive of scattered showers and
thunderstorms - swept across the
Colorado River valley, Imperial
Valley, San Diego, Los Angeles and
into northern California.
The tropical disturbance gener-
ating the strange condition center
ed today about $50 miles south
west of San Diego, the weather bu-
reau said.
Rain was common in the Arizona
and Imperial sectors, ordinarily
bone dry at this season of the year.
Southwestern sections of Oregon
were scheduled to experience the
phenomenon, with weather becom-
ing unsettled tonight or Tuesday

RULES
ON Bay CITY
POWER SALES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. UR) -
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Tckes reluctantly" ruled today that
San Francisco violated provisions
of the Raker act by selling electric
power generated at Hetch Hetchy
dam TO the Pacific Gas and Elec-
trio company.
Il have been reluctant to arrive
at this conclusion, but have no
other option under the laws and
facts" Ickes said.
He pointed out two methods by
which San Francisco may follow the
clear intention of the law and at
the same time enjoy all the bcne-
fits that would accrue to it."
The two methods we're:
l. "A general bond issue to fl
nance a distribution system may
be adopted by a two-thirds vote
Of those participating in the cleo
ton.
2. THE charter of the city may
be amended by a majority vote SO
as TO permit the issuance of reVe-
nue. bonds which will require the
approval Of only a majority of
those voting, at the election"
The section of the Raker act
on which Ickes based his finding
reads: Section 6. That the grantee
is prohibited from ever selling or
letting to any corporation or indi-
vidual, except a municipality, mu-
unicipal water district or irrigation
district, the right to sell rsub-let
the water or the electric energy
sold or given to it or him by the
said grantee

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY.
BOLzANO, Aug. 25. WP)-A "blue"
Italian army worked its way
through northern Alpine river val
leys today to repulse an invading
army of reds" assumed to have
crossed the Austrian frontier.
Premier Benito Mussolini, arriv-
ing for the maneuvers, conveyed an
extraordinary session of his cabi-
net to meet here tomorrow.
AS the army moved out, on this
second day of the gigantic army
maneuvers, it was indicated that
the defending "blues" would repel
the invaders and force them into
a disadvantageou last stand be-
fore Bolzona, key town of the from
tier.
The "reds" had registered a few
successes, but generally the defend
ing infantry and cavalry, moving
in cooperation with baby tanks, ap-
peared likely to press on to final
victory.
King Victor Emmanuel was an
observer of the maneuvers.
The maneuvers engaged 10000
men on this sector; 100000 others
started maneuyers at army bases
elsewhere.
On this northern front, where a
German army would be expected to
attack Italy across Austria, tn e
"blue" and red" armies were in
position at the zero hour the reds"
assumed to have crossed the Bren-
ner pass and spread fanlike down
to capture Bolzano. 1t was So
mile front on which the "reds" had
dug themselves in and erected
thick barbed wire entanglements.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

BY United Press
Gabby Streets Mission Reds
came out of a rip-roaring series
with the Portland Beavers today
one full game and eight percentage
points ahead in the waning Pacific
Coast league pennant chase.
1t was the first time in four
straight weeks that the San Fran
cisco Seals had not led the Mis-
sions by three percentage points at
the conclusion of a week of play
The Seals were in second place
and Portland, whom followers had
hoped to see in the drivers seat
by a cleanup of the Reds, was in
third, half a game behind the run
ners-up. Two other clubs still were
in the race, Seattle, three games
behind the Missions, and Los An
geles, half q game below the In
dians.
1t took Sundays double header
to decide the crucial, closely
fought, seven-game engagement be-
tween the Reds who are staying
up on the strength Of strong pitch
ing and timely batting, and the
Beavers, whose smoothness of in
field play overcomes a slight weak
ness on the hurting side.
The teams split the double bill
and the Reds, by taking the wind
up, won the series, four games to
three. The scores were "a and 40.
The Seals and Sacramento also
broke even in their Sunday double
bill. The Senators took the series,
four to three. Sacramento won the
opener, Al. The Seals kept them
selves in second place by taking
the windup, 1914.
Seattle slapped Hollywood down
twice yesterday to sweep the series,
five to two. The scores were 8-5
and 10-7
Los Angeles split with Oakland
but won the series, four to three.
Hank Mcdonald pitched effectively
to win the opener for the Oaks by
a 5-2 score. Kimball, a rookie, toss
ed Angels to a 80 victory in the
windup.

He had only been here a few
days when he set fire to the Cath

HIGH SCHOOL JAM
Shown IN SURVEY
Reduction In Staff, Increase in
Enrolment Puts Extra
Load on Teachers

A survey Of the enrolment by sub
jects In Bismarck high school shows
the crowded conditions that exist due
to the curtailment Of the teaching
staff the last two years, combined with
the natural increase in enrolment.
Five teachers in the high school
have over 200 pupils in their classes
each day. They are M. H. Anderson,
r. I. Wells, Mrs. Melvina E. Pollard,
A. 9. Van Wyk. and Miss Rita A.
Murphy. Other faculty members have
from lis to l72 enrolled daily, with
an average for the entire faculty of
l66 pupils per teacher.
Only four Of the Is teachers have
a vacant period during the day. OF
these only one has no extra-curricular
work to attend to at that time. It is
obvious that under such heavy teach
ing loads, with as many as three diff
ferent subjects to prepare for daily,
the teachers cannot give the pupils
the individual attention and help
which they need.
There are only six classes in the
high school In which the enrolment
is under 20. These are public speak
ing, II: psychology. ID: physics, 49,:
Journalism, Is; Vergil, 8; solid geom-
etry, Is. All of these are elective
subjects.

Both father and daughter brought
