Great party" Man,

HIS presence has been in great de-
mand at boys clubs and civic Or
ganizations throughout Northern Cali
fornia. Naturally. his subject has
been base ball. He tells about the
Yankees, the clubs hitting power and
what an iron man" First Baseman
Lou Gehrig is.
If they ask about Di Maggie, he
tells how he broke in as a shortstop
with the San Francisco Seals in the
last three games of 1882, went in as
q pinch hitter in the third game of
the 1888 season, was sent to right field
the next inning and has been q reg
u1ar outfelder since.
Ranked as one Of the greatest
throwers in the game, he is frankly
puzzled over his ability to rifle the
ball with so little effort.
''All the time played shortstop, my
arm would go lame after throwing
three or four balls" he says. when
I switched to the outfield the whip
came on all of a sudden. I haven't
had a sore arm since"

BE REST0RED
Many Old Legislative
Provisions Stricken
From Measure

Stripped of many of it's original
legislative provisions, the $45, 000,.
900 HouSe-approved District appro-
priation bill for 1888 was before
the Senate today after a hectic
battle in the House yesterday.
Little attempt was made in the
House to alter the total amount
carried in the measure, but
$111,000 was Topped from the bill.
There is no doubt that $4,000
Of this will be restored by the
Senate, as the two items elm
mated concern vitality necessary
functions Of the city Government.
8oth were stricken by the House
Oh points of order.
One is an item of $76, 440 for the
salaries Of the Director and all
other employees Of the Department
of Vehicles and Traffic, and the
other is an item of $4,000 for the
purchase Of automobile tags.
Nichols Acts
Both were carried in the bill In
such manner as to call for their
allotment from the gasoline tax
funds, and it was on a point Of
order raised by Representative
Jack Nichols (DO of Oklahoma, q
member Of the House District
Committee, based on the conten-
ton that the gas tax funds are to
be used only in paying for street
repair and improvement work,
that these items were eliminated.
The third reduction resulting
from the House action was that Of
$4,000 provided for a survey Of
the municipal government with q
view to effecting savings in elm
ination of overlapping and dupli.
cation and to see that tax collec-
tons are bringing in all that they
should.
With these Examinations, the to-
tai of the appropriations carried
in the bill is 5,116,584, includ.
ing Federal contribution of S..
100000. despite an effort by Rep
resentative A. L. Ford Cd of Mis-
Sissippi to force entire elimination
of the Federal aid.
Activity in the House yesterday
came as a result of the contention
Of members Of the House District
Committee that the Appropriations
group, in writing legislation into
the appropriation bill, virtually
"usurped" functions of the District
Committee.

provisions in the bill which ap-

FIRE LANES

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
today ordered police to crack down
on motorists who do not yield
right-of-way to fire apparatus.
He said he did not issue a Spe-
cific order calling on police scout
cars to respond to every fire alarm,
but did call on all station houses
to send scout cars to accompany
apparatus whenever possible.
Police, he said, have been in
structed to keep a sharp lookout
for motorists who fail to yield the
right of way to fire trucks, and to
arrest violators.
He said obsolete equipment
which responds to many fire
alarms compels careful driving.

DISCUS S
By MRS. EFFIE CLEVELAND

The Washington m n t a y
school Parent Teachers association
of Ell Centro under the leadership
of Mrs, Effie Cleveland made an
effort in its monthly meetings to
concentrate on problems that were
of vital Importance to the school
and the community. These problems
were juvenile delinquency, child
hygiene, recreation.
Each problem was treated sep
arately which allowed for better
analysis of it. At each meeting a
speaker, preferably an expert in
his field, was secured. Following
the speaker, short period of dis
cussion would be permitted from
those present. Many interesting
questions and discussions were
brought out as a result. Appropriate
music was obtained for each meet
ing which was always a source of
enjoyment.
The organization has attempted
to make practical follow-ups of
some of the problems discussed.

Recreation SO far has been the one
field meet on Friday, April 80. Six
ty-five ribbons as awards for the
first four winners were given on
that day. These awards were fur
nished by the P.-T.A. organization.
Much interest was shown in this
affair as evidenced by the keen
interest of parents and friends who
attended.
Plans are now being made for the
annual summer milk station which
was begun by Miss Edith Eicke,
schoolnurse, and turned over to the
organization last summer.
The organization also took very
fine interest in the activities OF
public schools week, visiting classes
and attending the assembly held
during that week.
Finally, the organization was act
i've in helping to make success

We feel that the work of the
organization during its first year
has been very successfully carried
out and we are looking forward TO
a greater year of activity during
the year 1878.
