HOLY NAME SOCIETY PROTESTS
ACTIVITY OF MEXICAN OFFICIALS

Protesting against alleged inter-
ference on the part of certain Mex
ican consular officials in Califor-
MIA, with the religious freedom of
Mexican citizens or descendants of
Mexicans residing n this state, the
following resolution, adopted by the
Holy Name Society of st. Mary's
church, has been forwarded to Sem
ators johnson Z and McAdoo and
Representative George Burnham, of
the goth California district.
WHEREAS, We, as members of
the Holy Name society of st. Mary's
parish, in the city of FL Centro,
State of California, affiliated with
the Holy Name Union of the dio-
cese of Los Angeles and San Diego,
and as citizens of the United States
of America, hold that it is a moral
duty to respect and obey all lawful
authority since all authority comes
from Almighty God: and.
Whereas. we view with sorrow and
sympathy the attitude of officials of
the present government of the Re-
public of Mexico in not only cur
failing religious worship and services
but even in prosecuting those who
recognize, as we do, that mans first
duty is to his God;
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
That we, members of said st. Mary's
parish Holy Name Society of the
diocese of Los Angeles and San Di-
ego, appeal to our representatives in
Washington to call attention of the
proper authorities to the catastro-
phe which has blighted the very
name of Mexico and which, as we
of this diocese know full well,
threatens to destroy the happy re-
lations now existing between citi-
zens of different faiths and races
here in Southern California through
the pernicious activities and unWar-
ranted interference in religious

UNCLE wIGGnY's CANDY pull

Uncle Wiggily's rabbit children
were SO pleased and hapyp with the
popcorn fun he made for them on
a long winter night after they had
done their home work that they
teased him to do 1t again. And he
did, several times, until Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy said the bunny boys
and girls we're eating so much pop
corn that she could see it dribbhng
out of their long ears.
Of course. this was only joke,
for no matter how much popcorn a
rabbit eats it never comes out of his
ears. So don't any of you try that
trick
Perhaps they have had enough
popcorn" Uncle Wiggily admitted
when his wife and Nurse Jane said
they thought the bunny boys and
girls might be made i'll. But l
know another way can make some
fun for them on the long winter
nights when it is a long time be-
tween lesson work and bedtime. y
"What other kind of fun can
YOU make for us, Unkie Wig?
asked Baby Bunty, who was tying q
pink ribbon on one ear.
Suggests Candy Pull
81 think tonight we shall have
a candy pull said Mr.. Longears.
"You don't mean you are going
to let the Dummies try to pull candy
away from one another do you?'
asked Nurse Jane. "That would be
rather a messy game. 1 think.
ooh, mol" laughed Mr.. Long
ears. "By a candy pull mean the
pulling or stretching of soft candy
gobs or Jumps into long, thin sticks
that will get hard I'll boil up some
sugar and molasses until it is thick
and soft. Each one gets a COB OF
this and by pulling, stretching, fold
ing it back and forth it turns from
dark brown to a color almost white
And It gets stiff and hard. You1l

EDITORIAL PAGE
and
FEATURES
YANKEES ALL

A splendid instance of what our pub
lie schools are doing, was given in an
item appearing in last nights Press re-
garding the paper being published at Mt
Signal school,
The editor of the paper has japanese
name and 10 of his assistants" also have
japanese names Seven or eight
Others have what might be termed for
eign names" for want of better way
of explaining them.
Yet Americanism, as much Yankee as
Plymouth Rock or the cod on the Mass
achusetts capitol, permeates the MT. Sig
nal Breeze" as the paper is called.
Only the other day a California repre-
sentative stood up in the house of repre-
sentatives and gave details of japanese
"scare" in California. We do not pro-
pose to contradict Mr.. Dockweiler or dis
pute with him relative to any assertions
he has made.
We do know this, however, that we
have the fullest faith in the ability of our
American public schools to make good
Americans out of its pupils regardless of
the nationality or race of their parents,
and in spite of any objections which the
parents might have to their children for
getting the ways of their forefathers.
What Mt. Signal school is doing is no
different than is being done in every
school in Imperial Valley and elsewhere
throughout California.
The O'Tooles, the Kellys, Sochawals-
kis, Schaffers, Garcias, Dedromonovitch-
es, Olsons, etc. may go into the public
schools little Irish, Germans, Poles, Mex
leans, Russians, Swedes, etc., but they
grasp things quickly and it doesn't re-
quire many grades to set them on the
path that leads to Amerieanism as AM
erican as that of Franklin D. Roosevelt
himself.
Alarmists may "deplore and arise to
protest but we can't agree with them
about any real danger to American insti-
tutions. They pay too much attention
to the half-baked nit-wit on the soap-boX
demanding his rights" and forget the
great work which is going on in the
schools-making real Americans. And
what some of these little foreign kids
could tell the third and fourth genera
tion natives" about American history,
American government and American in
stitutions and ideals, would make these
natives" blush for shame if they could
take sufficient time off from glorying in
their own Importance
We have every respect for the third or
fourth generation native" who has the
right kind of Americanism and comedies
that others besides himself may hold the
same ideals. We have none whatsoever
with the egotistical 1--WE withhold the
term we want to use) who sees in every
foreigner" only a menace to the United
States of America.

FRENCH PAIR
STARTED ON
LONG FLIGHT

MARSEILLES, France, Feb. 16.
UP)-Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi
embarked today on a flight which
they hope will take them across the
South Atlantic and beyond Rio d
Janeiro, to break their own world
airplane distance flight record of
1854 miles (9104.7 kilometers0
Taking turns at the controls, they
are plotting their old, famous high
wing monoplane Joseph Lebrix.
Their probable course lay south
southwestward across the Mediter-
ranean and Africa and the approx
imately LIS nautical miles of the
Atlantic between point around
Dekabar, Senegal, to the eastern
tip of Brazil, thence down the coast
as far as possible.
They figured ii would take them
between SO and 65 hours to make
6.2l0 miles. Their plane has a new
wireless on wave lengths of 35.71
and 200 metres. For food they car
ried bananas, oranges, sardines and
cold chicken.
They took off at Tstres airport
at csc a. m. 1880 a. m. EST, and
on their own basis of calculation
could reach Rio de Janeiro late
Monday afternoon.
Codos and Rossi made their world
record distance flight from New
York to Kayak, Syria, August 5-6-7
1893. They retraced the Lindbergh
route from Paris to New York May
'27-27, 1884, intending to fly on to
California. But mysterious wing
tremors impelled them to land at
Floyd Bennett field.

HE VAS PAROLED

Reused from sleep in the rear of his
store early Thursday morning, Los An
geles jeweler saw three men loading
themselves down with part of his stock.
lie opened fire with gun and watched
two of the men drag their companion to
the street and make their escape
short time later police found the
wounded man dying in his home to which
ne had been taken by his confederates.
Before he died he was identified as an
eX-convict, sent to San Quentin in 1928
for grand theft and paroled in 1882.
That's another score to be chalked up
against the California parole board and
another argument for a revision of our
penal system to segregate first offenders
from hardened criminals and to make all
those serving terms in prison do some
sort of beneficial work.
The two companions of this slain rob-
Der also present cause for an interesting
bit OF reflection. We have heard much
of the war influence as being respon-
slble for our criminal wave. These two
fellows are both 19 years of age. There
is no doubt that the effects of the war"
caused them to turn to crime. They were
driven to it by reading the headlines in
the papers from 1914 to 1918 Four
years of that was sufficient to make any,
one go out and get gun to do little
robbery and murder.
Therefore these two young men, both
victims of war hysteria," should be slap
ped on the wrist and permitted to go
their way, OF if we want to be real hard
upon them, we can send them to San
Quentin to finish their education, and
then parole them insa couple of years to
come out and do real good job---a bet
