BY SAM JACKSON

BERKELEY, Cal, April 6.-Hav-
ing spent 20 years training mod
ern" police officers, August Voll-
mer, once celebrated as Berkeley's
scientific police chief, soon will
turn TO training the public.
He will retire as professor of po-
lice administrator at the end of
the current term at the University
of California to devote himself to
writing PerpleXed and slightly dis
couraged at the publics "contemp-
tuous" attitude toward policemen,
he wants to do what he can to cor
rect the situation with his pen
Along with this crusading, he
has m a p ped out prodigious
amount of research to determine
why crime is rife in the United
States. Most of the theories now
advanced on the subject are I'M
adulterated fallacies," he says
Originated Police College
Vollmer originated collage train
ing for policemen in 1916 at the
University of Chicago. AT least
four universities besides Califor-
MIA now offer such courses and 80
others give some minor instruction,
and Vollmer is the guiding spirit
of them all
This spring five of his grad
yates will go out to start at the
bottom of the police ladder as pa
trolmen. A score more are in train
ing, and a considerable body of
students, including a number of CO.
eds, are taking the courses as a
sideline.

April 6.-Forty grave diggers laid
aside their spades here today in a
sympathy strike on behalf of ten
general laborers seeking wage in
crease at the Holy Cross Cemetery.
The strike held up burials Of
six persons, the bodies meanwhile
being placed in the receiving vault.

Capt. Wester|und
Dies in Seattle
After Operation
Skipper of Alaska, Senior
Captain of Alaska S. S.
Co., Makes Last Voyage

SEATTLE, April Capt. Carl
Westerlund, So, m ster of the
steamship Alaska and senior mas
ter in the organization of the Al
aska Steamship Company, died
here today following a recent oper-
alton.
He is survived by his widow and
one daughter.
Capt. Westerlund started his ca
reer with the Alaska Steamship
Company in 1907.
Like most hardy mariners of
Scandinavian origin, Capt Wester-
lund took to the sea as young
boy in sailing vessels, and was but
fourteen years old when he first
glimpsed the broad expanse of the
Pacific Ocean via Cape Horn.
On arriving in local waters he
decided to stay and become boat
swain on the old steamship Mari
posa when that vessel was acquired
by the Alaska Steamship Company
Since then he has served in var
ious capacities on most of the units
of his company's fleet. His first
command was the steamship Cor
dova, about seventeen years ago
He has commanded the steamships
Ketchikan, Redondo, Oduna, Ala
media, and for the last several years
has been the popular captain OF
the Alaska.
While on the Cordova he made
two voyages to the Hawaiian Is
lands. s-r..
+ He was always most popular with
the Alaska patrons of his ships.

Zoo Reptiles
Win Sitdown
Strike

CHICAGO, April 6.-The turtles
and alligators at Brookfield zoe
staged a shutdown strike in then
houses until Zoo Director Edward
Bean warmed their feet
They refused to exhibit them
selves on the sand lot where specta-
tors could watch them. The pub
lie protested and Bean investigat-

He found the sand was too colo
for the turtles and alligators. Sc
he had 600 feet of hotbed cable
used to warm earth in hotbeds and
greenhouses, installed IN the sand
That solved the problem.

Minneapolis, Jan. 26.-Facts are
facts and even though we cover
them up with just the right con-
versation they still remain I'M
changed. The reason for this re-
mark is that in the back of my
head am wondering why it Is that
I am going to tell you about spring
hats while we are in the middle Of
OUR coolest weather. am trying to
find an excuse for doing 1t, but the
truth of the matter is that as your
fashion editor, am duty bound to
give you the fashion news as fast
rs 1t is released. And it is a known
fact that hats for spring come out
in January and furs for winter are
donned in July. In order that you
may keep up with this crazy scheme
OF things, here is the millinery low
down for spring.
Millinery details to watch for:
Low crowns, plaid ribbons and
plaid fabrics, cork on felt for sports
hats, much color in trimming and
material, flowerpot crowns, four
cornered pillbox hats, dramatic
brims, many, many off-the-face mo-
dels, center back trimming and I'M
deq-the-front-brim trimming on
bonnet-type hats, mannish fedora
hats to be worn with your tailored
suit, small tricorns and wells used
in every possible way. (Put on a

fedora with your suit and tie
sheer dotted vein over your face,
letting the bow at the back stand
out perkily over your hat)
The little pillbox hats that are so
good grew out of the coronation or
der that women standing in the
line of march and obstructing, with
big hats, the view of those behind
them, would be asked to leave.
This is going to be spring of
such varied hat styles, that all of us
should be able to find one suited to
our taste and face. Gay punches of
flowers are going to perch center
frcnt, under brims and center pack.
Take the thought of the moment
and pin such a nosegay on your
dark winter felt and brighten these
cold days.
Spring millinery is going to be
characterized by freer and more
sweeping lines than we have had
for some time. Back and away
from the face" will be the slogan.
More face and hair will show than
have been seen in several years.
There are three French words
that you will hear often in the COM
ing months in connection with your
top piece. They are "Enleve," which
means pulled up, carried away;
"Degage," which means free, easy,
bold; and "Decale," which means
loosened.

Of Bierman's pupils who might
have had the brightest careers in
coaching, rejected many handsome
offers In order to start at the bot
tom of business careers.
They were Pug Lund and Babe
LeVodr. Members Of the Minnesota
staff agreed they would have gone
far in football. They had the intel
ligence, the character, the gifts for
leadership and the instinct for the
game that would have carried them
to the top; but they made the hard
decision and already have reasons
to rejoice for they are fairly racing
up the business ladder. Within a
few years they will be leaders in
Minneapolis. Bud Wilkinson Is
likely to go the same way, for bus
mess opportunity awaits him in his
fathers office.
Others, of course, are wise to
turn to coaching, If that is where
their deepest interest lies, and If
opportunity presents itself in pro-
per form. Bud Svendsen Is such a
man. He Is married, has a baby son,
and, naturally, likes the quick re-
turns a coaching job will give him.
Moreover, he appears to have pc
curiar gifts for the work. Bernie
herman and DR.. Hauser are eager
in their praise Of his industry, his
smartness and his all around quail
tiles. His team mates, too, predict
a grand future for him. In truth
few players have ever left the Min
nesota squad with such unanimous
and optimistic acclaim.
Ed Widseth, aM-American tackle,
will ultimately go to coaching, but
1t Is likely he will try his hand at
professional football first. He loves
the rough contacts Of the game
and has offers which can hardy be
ignored.
The point Is that any high school
lad who dreams Of one day being a
football coach, can best earn his
chance by enrolling at Minnesota.
There is always good job await
ing the Minnesota senior who has
earned his varsity letter under Ber-
ME Bierman.

Is alfalfa q satisfactory hay for

Alfalfa hay is an excellent feed
for horses. However, IL 1t Is fed as
the only hay ration, it may have a

gestive system. would recommend
that you feed a hay ration consist
ing Of about one-half alfalfa and
one-half timothy or prairie hay.
First cutting alfalfa would be bet
ter to feed horses than the second
cutting because it Is usually a little
coarser and is not apt to have quite
SO loosening an effect upon the
bowels of the horses.-A. L. Harvey

What poultry feeds contain vita
min G?
Vitamin G. is needed by chicks
for growth and by hens for pro
ducing eggs that will hatch. Poultry
feeds which contain vitamin G in
clude skimmilk, either dried or IL
quid, dried whey, sun-cured alfalfa
meal, dehydrated alfalfa meal,
white fish meal and dried yeast.
Other animal by-products contain
the vitamin in apreciable amounts
but cereals have very little of it,

Wednesday. Thousands Of out Of
town visitors never so much as left
the Union Station but turned about
and went home without attempting
to see anything. It was q keen dis
appointment to all and 1t Is pro-
bable that ere another Inaugural
ton draws round provision will
have been made to handle a like
situation so that the people may
see their president inaugurated
without being compelled to stand
out in the pouring rain. It Is pro-
posed that the money now available
for the Jefferson Memorial be
utilized for the purpose of con-
structing a monster auditorium.
That certainly would be more SEN
sible than spending the money in
a big monument that serves no
good purpose.
r. f. @. Extended
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has been given another
lease of life, both Houses of Con-
gress having voted to extend it's
career another three years. The r.
F. c. has justified itself in every
way. To date 1t has handled about
six billions, most of which has
been repaid. It has shown a profit
of fou, hundred million dollars and
that will fully wipe out any losses
sustained. Many a concern was able
to operate during the depression
because of loans advanced to them
by the R. F. c., and it is safe to
say that hundreds of thousands
were given employment as result
thereof.
Crop Production Bill Passes House
On Monday the House passed the
crop production loan bill which
makes 1t possible for many farmers
whose credit position as a result of
successive droughts, is such as to
render them unable to avail them
selves of the benefits provided by
the several agricultural credit
groups, to secure money for seed
and feed and thereby enabling them
to carry on during the coming crop
year. I can think of no better use
that the government can make of
its money because it will make It
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1937-01-28

possible for thousands to remain
on the farm who would otherwise
be compelled to 60 to the cities
where they would merely aggravate
the unemployment situation. The
government has been making loans
since 1921 during which time APP
proximately three million individ-
ual loans have been made, aggre-
eating 1913 million dollars on which
223 million dollars have been col
lected. I merely cite these figures
to show that while there is a con-
siderable amount yet outstanding
the loss will be infinitesimal when
compared with the good that has
been accomplished. The agricultural
situation Is far from hopeless. Sew
eral good crop years with satisfac-
tory prices win put American agri-
culture back on a solid basis where
further assistance will be unneces-
sary. realize that there are a
large number of farmers who are
heavily in debt and for such 1t Is
going to be necessary to either
cancel their obligations to the gov
eminent or enable them to work
out such obligations on farm-to-
market roads. I am trying to get
early action on bill that I recent
ly introduced to allow this to be
done.
Would Extend Trade Pacts
The Ways and Means Committee
Of the House Is busy these days
holding hearings on President
Roosevelt's proposal to extend the
present reciprocal trade law, which
was a recovery measure, for anoth-
err three years. To date we have had
before us Secretary of State Hull,
Secretary of Commerce Roper, and
under-Secretary of State Sayre.
Secretary Huh bases his advocacy
Of extension almost solely upon the
proposition that the extension Is
necessary to preserve world peace.
I can't understand why it should
be necessary for us to buy eggs
from China; poultry, beef, and po-
tatoes from Canada; steel products
from Britain, Belgium and France |;
butter from Canada, Argentine and
New Zealand, and thousands of
other products that we can produce
at home, in order to preserve
peace. I believe in reciprocracy and
am perfectly willing to vote to
make it permanent but want it

Minneapolis, january 26.-Natur-
ally there is a great demand for
Minnesota men to coach football at
colleges large and small through
out the country. It is accepted that
Bernie Bierman's system is the
winning system Of the day and 9TH
ers want men who know that sys-
tenn.
Every member Of the Minnesota
team of 1896 who win be graduated
next June has received offers.
Some have no intention Of coach
ing. Some want to play more foot
bal. and will go into professional
leagues, planning to coach after
they have had a few years Of pro
experience. Some will accept other
offers.
Steadily. however, Minnesota
football Is spreading. It took that
course once before, years ago,
when DIR. H. L. Williams was orig
mating scoring ideas. That era de-
veloped such famous coaches as
Ossie Solem, Clark Shaughnessy,
DR.. George Hauser, Earl Martin
eau and Bernie herman.
Emerging above the others at
that time, Bierman Is setting a new
fashion. In time his pupils will go
as far as DIR. Williams pupils went.
Many successful coaches will
emerge and surely two or three
truly great coaches will reach the
top.
The Minnesota system is now in
stalled at Tulane under Red Daw-
son, Bill Bevan and Glenn Seidel.
Now the Minnesota system, COM
bining the DR.. Williams influence
through Ossie Solem and the Ber-
ME Bierman influence through
younger men, is going to move into
Syracuse. Solem, as head coach,
has invited Bud wilkinson and Bud
.Svendsen, of Minnesota's team of
1896 to become his assistants.

The Community and Delinquency

In planning leisure time activity for
youth, the important question arises
as to how to arrange the program so
that those who need 1t the most will
get the full benefit Of it. How can we
help the child whose parents cannot
afford to buy him a pair Of skates, or
an instrument to join the boys band,
or to pay the monthly dues in scout
ing, or for an occasional show Or take
him to the country or ito provide for
other wholesome leisure time activity?
How can we reach the child that is
shy and backward, or clumsy or spoil
ed, so that it does not mix easily with
other children? Delinquency often
comes from the ranks of such chill
dren.

TWO YOUTHS ARE FINED
IN "PERMIT Racket
One Charged With Misrepresenta-
tion and the Other With
Loaning His Card.

Determined to put q stop to the
permit racket" Judge John P. Nc
Mahon today sentenced two youths,
Thomas G. Netts and William Peeler,
to pay $40 each or serve 80 days in
jail.
Netts was charged with attempting
to obtain a permit by misrepre-
sentation and Peeler with loaning his
permit. The sentences are much
higher than previously had been i'm
posed in such cases.
According to testimony by Police
man E. G. Spaulding, Peeler took
Netts to the Traffic Department, where
the latter was to obtain a permit.
When the time came for the road
test Netts was afraid he could not
pass it, so Peeler gave Netts his
(Peeler's) permit so Netts could act
as instructor while Peeler took the
road test for him. Their identities
were discovered before the permit
could be issued.
