MAN OF TONGUES

The worlds greatest linguist is an
Englishman. He is Sir George Grier-
son, 20. NJ, who Is eighty-four and
Knows 300 languages. His chief In
tesest lies in India, where some of
the dialects of the backward commu-
mites have never been written down.
Before he could study these dialects
properly, Sir George had to invent
an alphabet for them, and write
down words which the natives had
often used but never written them
selves.

JUST PLAIN IGNORANT

So 100000 college students are plan
ing one hour strike in April
News dispatches announcing the strike
are somewhat vague on the reason for it,
though 1t seems to be agreed generally
that it is to protest against the military
activities" of the United States.
Apparently these young bloods know
nothing and wish to know nothing of
what happened in 1898 when the United
States lost more soldiers from bad food,
bad transportation and bad sanitation
than it did from Spanish bullets. They
also know nothing OF l917-1S, when des-
pite the excellent record the country
made in mobilizing. training and trans
porting a gigantic army across 5000
miles of sea, mistakes costly in money
and lives were made.
They wish to ignore the fact that II
Duce is shouting from the housetops
about his army of seven or eight million
men; that Stain boasts of the huge red
army which he can throw into the field;
that Japan's military machine is rapidly
approaching the shape of the German
1914 army and that France, England and
other world powers are arming to the
teeth
These "pacifist' students only think
they are "pacifists." The real "pacifists'
are those who know something about the
situation-the men who saw actual SER
vice in 1898 and 1917. The misguided
students may think they don't want war
but these war veterans KNOW that they
don't want war And the latter also know
that the best way to avoid war is
to be ready for it.
The whole course of American history
is proof that this is not a militaristic ma
ton. On the contrary, it is a nation that
does not even take the proper precau-
tions to avoid war. Our navy may be kept
somewhat abreast of other nations nav
les, but our army has always been an
army in name only, compared to those of
other nations.
Perhaps we shouldn't pay too much at
tention to these misguided youths. There
isn't one of them, if he has a car. who
doesn't lock it when he leaves it. Their
whole life is an argument for prepared
ness. The very fact that they are in col
lege indicates their belief in knowledge
as preparation for the battle of life. Yet
they would have US think that they do
not believe. their country should be pre-
pared to meet any challenge which may
be hurled at it.

DUAL PURPOSE:
TURKEY NEED
Of INDUSTRY

A dual purpose turkey is one of
the great needs of the turkey in
dustry in California. This is ac-
cording to DR.. V. .. Asmundsen,
assistant professor of poultry hus-
bandry at the branch of the Col
lege of Agriculture here. Most of
the income of turkey growers is
from the sale of market birds, he
says; but the sale of Matching eggs
is fast becoming important.
up to the present time" says
Professor Asmundsen, Compare
lively little effort has been given
to building up strains that combine
the right meat qualities with high
egg products. If such strains were
produced they would be especially
valuable to those who are selling
Matching eggs, and would also un-
doubtedly be in general demand.
In breeding turkeys, both meat
qualities and egg production must
be kept in mind. For it would be
entirely possible to breed birds
that would have the right meat
qualities but might be such poor
layers that they would be insult
able for the production of hatch
ing eggs.
'The sale of Matching eggs has
become more and more important,
and appears to be increasing.
While most of these are used with
in the state. an increasingly large
volume is being shipped out. Too,
the Matching of turkey eggs has
been expanding. Two hatcheries
last year marketed more than 1OO,-
900 poults each. most of them be-
ing sold in California but with
large numbers shipped outside the
state.
Consequently, we are selecting
birds in our own flock that have
the proper qualities for meat, but
which also have high egg produc-
tion."

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
BUNTY'S SLED

One day when Baby Bunty. the
little orphan rabbit, was coming
home from school, she slipped on
the ice and fell. hurting .her left
hind leg very much
"Ohl OH" she cried f.Oh, Unkle
Wig, is my leg broken?'
81 hope not, Bunty, my dear,
said Mr.. Longears, who passed just
as Bunty slipped. III carry you in

Very luckily Bunty had slipped
and fallen almost in front of the
bungalow SO Uncle Wiggily didn't
have to carry her in his paws very
far. Not that he would have mind
ed carrying Bunty mile if he had
to, for he loved the little orphan
rabbit as much as he loved his
own bunnies.
When DR.. PosSum came with his
bag of powders and pills dangling
in the curl of his tail, he looked
at Bunty's sore leg.
NO" he said, 'it isn't broken
but 1t is badly sprained. Bunty can
not hop on it for nearly week.

"Oh, yes, DR.. Possum, have a
nice sled. Santa Claus brought it

Then you'll be all right, Baby

SACRAMENTO. Feb, %. tUP) =
Reverberations of the heated guber-
material campaign of 1884 will be
felt during the second half-session
of California legislature when nu-
merous election law changes are
considered.
Drastic reorganization of voting
regulations will result if the law
makers approve measures which
were considered the outgrowth OF
three sided complaints sounded dur
ing the Merriam Sinclair -Haight
struggle for the governorship.
DiScontinuance of huge cam
paign expenditures, vote buying, in
timidation of voters, deception and
misleading statements, strengthen
ing requirements of qualifying par
ties and initiative measures, and
placing obstacles in the path OF ra-
dical movements were the aim OF
scores of bills.
Publication of election laws was
the purpose of bills by Senators j.
C. Garrison and Ralph E. Swing
and Assemblyman Hugh P. Doni1el-
". William Mosely Jones and A.
Franklin Glover, who seek to curb
expenditures and eliminate false
| statements.
They would provide prison SEN
tences for intimidation of voters,
Justification of campaign fund re-
ports and unauthorized corporation
/ activities in campaigns.
All contributions above $40 and
payments above $5 would have to be
reported to the secretary of state.
No company or its representative
would be permitted to make direct
campaign payments.
Candidates and organizations
would be forbidden to buy votes, in
timidate voters, solocit contributions
for clubs or charitable causes or
prevent voters from going to the
polls. .z......-= -.
Failure to report expenditures and
contributions would be a misde-
meanor; Justification of the reports
would constitute felony.
A candidate for governor would
be limited to $4,000 for actual cam
paign expenses. Persons aiding his
campaign without his knowledge
would be subject to arrest.
During the 1894 campaigns, it was
understood generally that hund-
reds of thousands of dollars were
spent, but the official reports
showed expenses which could have
covered nothing more than stamps
and some travelling. The candidates
disclaied responsibility for any
sums spent by friends or supporting
organizations.
Assemblyman Gene Flint woulc
prohibit any scheme, plan or secret
understanding to influence elections
by deception, intimidation, coercion
or corruption.
Legislative changes were proposed
in group of bills advocating a non
partisan body There were other rec
concentrations for one-house le-
giSlature of 100 members chosen fol
four year terms with representation
on a population basis; for extension
of the terms of asSemblymen ano
senators; for annual instead of BIZ
ennial sessions.

Now it turns out that some people

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. = The
famous Farley fayors' as Post
master General James A. Farley s
special stamps have come to be
known to collectors are rapidly
turning into as mucn of headache
to stamp enthusiasts as they were
for the postmaster general.
The replicas Of Farley IS presenta-
ton sheets viii be issued March Is.
Two things are causing the COL
lectors headaches. One is the large
number of stamps to be issued at
the same time The other is the
fact that stamp collecting has set
up such fine distinctions that a
complete collection must include not
merely one or two stamps of each
variety but whole series. AS a
result the Farley favors viii
cost collectors a pretty penny.
The "favorS are being issued
in full sheets, imperforate for the
most part, and ungummed Twen-
ty distinct stamps are being issued.

Bunty was warmly wrapped up by
Nurse Jane and put on the sled
Uncle Wiggily took hold of the
rope and pulled her over the snow.
How do you like it, Bunty?"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, it's lovely, Unkie Wig" she
answered. IF you only had some
iingling bells on you, it would be
like having Santa Claus give me a
ride on my Christmas sled. 1 love
bells!"
I'll get somel!' said Uncle Wig
gily. He stopped in a toy store and
bought a string of jingling bells.
Then on he hoped, pulling Bunty
on her sled. He hoped very fast.
The bells jingled loudly.
How do you like 1t now, Bun
ty?" asked Uncle Wiggily, stopping
to turn around. But when he
looked-BUNTY WASN'T ON THE
SLED.
"oh, dearl Where is Baby Bun
ty! What happened to her?" cried
Uncle Wiggily. He looked back
over the way he had come. He saw
a hole in snow drift. Hopping
quickly to the hole, there he found
Bunty. The little orphan rabbit
had slipped off the sled when he
went so fast. She had fallen In
the snow, making n hole. But the
snow was warm and she was so
we'll bundled up that she wasn't
hurt at all. She just laughed.
Then Mr.. Longears put her on
the sled and went on more slowly
with the iingling bells. And If
the airplane doesn't drop a custard
pie down your chimney, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily's March

children S class very quickly.
If the collector wants to include
and all of them would like TO if
they could afford teach stamp in
pairs and blocks of four both on
envelopes and in mint condition,
it will cost him about $50 more.
So. the collectors are still I'M
happy about the stamps Another
worry is that in some manner the
stamps issued March IS might differ
in some tiny detail from those
which Farley gave away.
If that happens there viii be
more trouble. A difference. no mat
ter how tiny, is bound 20 be reflect
ed in a difference in price between
