D. Newkirk of the Johnston-Wickett clinic. Joseph A. Clayes, superintendent of schools; R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools; and C. C. Smith, superintendent of grammar schools spoke on the problem of the uneducated boy, Harry Campbell gave a short talk on Rotary a "live and let." J. W. Wallop was chairman of the day. Dr. Newkirk in his speech demonstrated the use of the Ophthalmoscope, an instrument for the examination of the inside of the eye, whereby the oculist may detect many constitutional diseases such as Bright's disease, even before the symptoms develop. This is the first of the craft talks which will be given each Monday at the club. Superintendent Clayes, speaking on the problem of educating the young, said that instructing them did not mean to cram into their heads a lot of phrases, but to teach them things. America and education stand for the same thing, he said. Up to 16 years of age all children must attend school. Between 16 and 18 part time education is provided for. The exceptions to the latter are: Children who live beyond the three-mile limit, children mentally deficient and children who have to aid their parents. The percentage of illiterates from 10 years of age up is two per cent among natives and 13.1 per cent among the foreign born he said. This means that 8,000,000 children averaging 10 years of age cannot read, write or spell in the English language. Five sixths of the population leave school before compiling the high school course, said Clayes. One half don't complete the elementary school course and become the prey of those who would sow the seed or discord. Their minds do not develop beyond the elementary stage unless they are educated. Part time education trains for good citizenship or the reverse. Superintendent Mitchell said that attendance was a big problem. He called attention to one provision of the law, namely that covering young people of 18-21, who don't know English as well as children of six or eight. He said the part time law had been passed because California had fallen below the educational average of Montana and Washington. Mitchell gave figures on attendance in the various grades of the elementary school and high school. Superintendent C. C. Smith discussed further the law of attendance and gave some experiences with the boys, particularly the Boy Scouts. Even in mufti, have you ever before seen a photo of General Pershing in which he wore no cont? Or had his sleeves rolled up? Of course not—the former C. I. C. of the A. E.

RECORD NUMBER OF TRAFFIC OFFENDERS A record number of traffic offenders tagged was made over Saturday and Sunday by Motorcycle Officer Louis Vokali. Ten names were handed in to City Recorder G. B. Brown, who said that never during his term of office has the week-end been as large. Most of the 10 were out of towners and all were guilty of speeding. E. L. Cook of Los Angeles was the most fragrant offender. He was driving 43.27 miles per hour on So. Los Angeles street and was caught in one of the traps maintained there by Vokali. Los Angeles and Center streets, the principal thorofares within the restricted area, where the speed limits are most rigid, has witnessed a large proportion of the arrests. Calling attention to the fact that fines in nearly every case have been only $5, Judge Brown showed that Anahiem is far from giving reason for being considered "a hoodoo town" for drivers. Vokali allows a reasonable amount over the maximum speed permitted, in case of dispute. MRS. RILEY'S MOTOR DAMAGED IN CRASH Mrs. Harry D. Riley's special six Studebaker touring car was badly damaged, when it collided Saturday evening with a Dodge hear the Studebaker garage on South Los Angeles street.

Anaheim's mat idol. He wants another match, this time in Frisco, his own ballwick. It would be a finish affair for the title. He says in a letter to the sporting editor of The Plain Dealer: "Having been unable to beat Roy Mabee Sept. 20 as I promised I would. TRANSIT CO. QUITS S. A. WED. Crown Stage Co. Will Attempt to Work Out 15-Minute Schedule The Motor Transit Co. will terminate its services between Anaheim and Santa Ana at 2 p.m. Wednesday, according to F. D. Howell, assistant manager. This is in compliance with the order issued more than a year ago by the state railroad commission. The Motor Transit Co. thru Atty Herbert Kidd, after denial of an appeal to the supreme court, filed a new appeal which was argued Friday Atty Clyde Bishop representing the OFFERS MILLION DOLLARS FOR DISEASE CURE If you have a cure for any of the six diseases which have puzzled scientists for ages, come forward and Match in Frisco Ad Santel, undisputed champion light-heavyweight wrestler of the world, isn't satisfied with his recent showing here against Roy Mabee. Anaheim's mat idol. He wants another match, this time in Frisco, his own pallidwick. It would be a finish affair for the title. He says in a letter to the sporting editor of The Plain Denier: "Having been unable to beat Roy Mabee Sept. 20 as I promised I would, I had a talk with the promoter here and he is willing to guarantee Mabee $500 with a privilege of 20 pct. to come up here and wrestle me in a finish match for the light-heavyweight championship of the world. No doubt this match would draw every big here in San Francisco. "I would appreciate very much if you could persuade Mabee to come up there and also give this letter space in your esteemed paper. Thanking you, I remain, yours truly." AD SANTEL. Shulte, the promoter it is believed Santel refers to, has been very successful with the wrestling game. The match here Sept. 20 was a handicap affair and had no bearing on the world's title, other than being a preliminary for Mabee to that coveted honor. Santel agreed to throw Mabee twice in one hour. He not only failed to throw the Anaheim gripper once, but the latter was the aggressor much of the time and on several occasions had the great Sanel in deep water. While Mabee came out of the match considerably banged not notably with a very sore neck, he quickly recovered and never was in better shape than when he readily dropped Orland Miller of Nebraska twice last week. He came out of the miller match feeling fine and has been working hard on his ranch since then. CROWD EXPECTED AT KIWANIS BARBECUE Considerable discussion has followed the publication of a letter from J. Harrison, rancher residing on the drive-rd near Sunkist-ave, criticizing some of the work and materials on the Anaheim protection levee. The effect has been to send many people of the Anaheim district out to inspect the work for the first time and it was predicted today that there should be nearly 100 pct. attendance of Kiwanis club members at their barbecue meeting at the dike tomorrow noon. As to Mr. Harrison's criticism that the piles were being driven without first being sharpened, Contractor Hill says the driving of sharpened piles was first attempted but it was found impossible to keep them straight as small boulders, of which the river bed Minute Schedule The Motor Transit Co. will terminate its service between Anaheim and Santa Ana at 2 p.m. Wednesday, according to F. D. Howell, assistant manager. This is in compliance with the order issued more than a year ago by the state railroad commission. The Motor Transit Co. thru Atty Herbert Kidd, after denial of an appeal to the supreme court, filed a new appeal which was argued Friday Atty Clyde Bishop representing the Crown Stage. The argument was continued to Tuesday. Apparently Motor Transit officials today had given up hope of being permitted to continue the Anaheim and Santa Ana service. L. H. Shute assistant manager of the Crown Stages, today, working on a new schedule by which they hope to operate cars every 15 minutes. According to the railway commission's order, the Motor Transit Co. may not haul passengers to Anaheim and transfer them to the Crown Stage here for Santa Ana. However, it may haul thru passengers to San Diego. 30 PROPOSALS ON NOVEMBER BALLOT Thirty propositions will be on the November ballot. County Clerk J. A. Backs announced today.

MERCHANTS BANQUET TONIGHT The largest meeting of merchants ever held in Anaheim will take on the form tonight at 6:30 at the Elks club house of a get together banquet, when various speakers from different lines of business will present their ideas of cooperation to the end that Anaheim will be nearly 100 per cent "trade-at-home" as possible. The banquet will begin promptly at 6:30 o'clock, end during the evening, the new license tax ordinance being prepared for presentation to the city trustees will be read and discussed. "The merchants of Anaheim are not going to attempt to build a wall around the city," said one of the directors of the Association today, "but we are going to try to minimize the competition from the outside that is working on an unfair basis. We hope through the new ordinance, to materially reduce unfair competition of every nature." Great interest has been manifested in the various sections of the proposed ordinance that have to do with unfair competition, especially where it has to do with peddlers of varibus wares who pay no license or who pay a nominal license and who take thousands of dollars a year out of Anaheim for wares that can be purchased in regular Anaheim establishments at as reasonable a price. The directors of the Merchants Association invite all merchants to be present, whether they are members of the association or not. Tickets for the banquet will be $1 each. LIFE OWN LOS ANGELES AND DIRTY TOWNS ENTERED BY Sneezing Was Tortured Robbers His Money After The Set Fires Sneezed Burned To Severely Infected Really Rewarded Heard His The Anaheim protection levee. The effect has been to send many people of the Anaheim district out to suspect the work for the first time and it was predicted today that there would be nearly 100 pct. attendance of Kiwans club members at their barbecue meeting at the dike tomorrow noon. As to Mr. Harrison's criticism that the piles were being driven without first being sharpened, Contractor Hill says the driving of sharpened piles was first attempted but it was found impossible to keep them straight as small boulders, of which the river bed full, invariably deflects the piling. This makes the line so crooked that is impossible to nail on planks, an important part of the protection scheme. In reply to Mr. Harrison's criticism of the quality of the piling and the blistering in driving, Contractor Hill says that whenever timber is given a treatment of creosote, the exterior becomes brittle and piling always splenters in driving. The interior, however, is soaked by the creosote and greatly lengthens the life of the piling. Members of the committee stated day that the piling and boards used here the best obtainable and had been inspected at least twice before acceptance. City Manager O. E. Steward who is always found Mr. Harrison much interested in river protection, stated day be believed the rancher very misselecious in his criticism but had gotten off on the wrong foot. The city manager, since the Harrison letter appeared, has visited the river and found the pilling splentered stated, but he considers it cannot helped if creocote piling is used. Secretary Malcom Fraser of the C. C. regrets the criticism in view of the difficulty in cleaning up the balance of the subscriptions made for the work, believing it will give dequent subscribers excuse to furer delay their contributions.
