WHAT SO. CALIF. NEEDS By GIL A. COWAN Vocational placement is one of the large problems in the Southland. Thousands of newcomers from every state in the nation and every country in the world come to California each month. They are representative of every trade and profession while many have no training at all. Like all other immigration there are rich and poor, the idle and the modest, the sick and the well. However, all have their problems. The more wealthy seek safe investments in property and business. The poor want work and a place to live. The idleness want a place in which to pass their time, the energetic want an opportunity to make good, the sick want attention, and the well want to keep so. To revert to the problem, however, there is a need for the civic organizations to unite in the establishment of a placement bureau which will consider the newcomers problems and give muchly needed advice. As it is now many strangers fall into the hands of charlatans who abound in any rapidly growing section. False hopes, delusive statements, poor investments and the like are placed before an innocent public and California awakens to find them actually suffering because of lack of advice. Real benefits will result from a well established, comprehensive bureau for the induction of our new citizens. And much criticism of the southland would be eliminated through this channel. ALL OVER SOUTHLAND LOS ANGELES—The ambitions of Ethel Sauer Essig, Long Beach, to become a lady barber literally wreaked his home. William A. Esq claims in a gross complaint filed late yesterday.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do the fine, worth while men honestly admire and love the girls who are not careful? I mean the girls who act without restraint; the girls who will turn and follow strange men during, inviting eyes; who drink with them and tell stories with crude climaxes; the girls who act as if they are trying to give the impression that there is no limit to anything? I know several of this type and men always notice them, and some of them tell the girls how wonderful they are and what adorable goals. When I am with these girls I feel so old-fashioned, and uninteresting because I never could get their new viewpoint and would feel so embarrassed if men talked to me in that insincere way. I love it good time, but it seems that my idea of a good time is very "queer," because none of the girls seems to mind the atmosphere which is created in a party where men, drinking and doubtful stories are the chief attractions. Will you please enlighten me? MONA. I can safely say that the kind of man you would consider worthwhile would be repulsed by the girls you mention. Girls who are cheap and too free with themselves indirect men lacking in self-respect and respect for women. Don't lie yourself get a "better-than-them" attitude, but on the other hand do not become discouraged with yourself because you seem so old-fashioned. Fortunately there are a lot of fine girls and women in the world who do not attract much attention here upon the injustice of the embargo put on produce by 18 states. The continuance of this state of affairs will work havoc, particularly with Imperial valley where the canteloupe crop is expected in a month. EL CENTRO—The sterilization penalty was imposed upon Rosario Salz 34. He will be sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of one year to life. The offense was termed particularly leathsome by all who heard of his conduct with a nine-year-old girl. A wife and two sisters were ordered to return Mexico as they would most likely never see him again. MEXICALL—Since the embargo was placed upon ganbling by Governor Rodriguez, the number of visitors from Los Angeles has steadily fallen off; it was lentured here today. 32 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending April 12, show 32 new wells started, compared with 28 previous week, 7 in Torrance field, 3 in Long Beach, 3 in Dominguez, 2 in Los Angeles, 1 each in Huntington Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Coyote Hills, Whittier, San Diego-co., San Bernardino-co., and Ventura-co., and 10 in Kernco.

SEventy of America's dis service men, crippled hero Chateau-Thierry and the Argent of St. Michel and Verdun, working busily these days in specially equipped V. F.

COMING MILTON SILLS and VIRGINIA VALLI in ANNE'S IRISH ROSE STILL IN LOVE WITH HER THOUGH THEY'RE DIVORCE I can safely say that the kind of man you would consider worth while would be repulsed by the girls you mention. Girls who are cheap and too free with themselves attract men lacking in self-respect and respect for women. Don't let yourself get a "better-than-them" attitude, but on the other hand do not become discouraged with yourself because you seem so old-fashioned. Fortunately there are a lot of fine girls and women in the world who do not attract much attention because they are not seeking it. But when self-respecting men look for companions, they prefer women with whom they are not ashamed to be seen and who are not eternally trying to attract the attention of other men. Keep your deeds, but as I have said before, guard against a feeling that you are superior because you are blessed with refinement and good taste. GIRLS DON'T LIKE HIM Dearest Mrs. Thompson: My greatest trouble is that I cannot get along with the girls. I am 16 years old, in my second year at high school, and not very good-looking. It seems that after I know a girl awhile she turns me down flat. I take them to shows, dances and ice cream parlors. I think my greatest trouble is about conversation. I cannot speak in such interesting way—not enough for them. Please advise me. K. Y. W. My dear boy, you are very young and it is only natural that you should not be a success with girls just yet. Probably the girls you go with have chances to go with older boys as well and they prefer them to you. Do not let this worry you because only too soon you will be one of the older boys yourself. You can do much to improve your conversational powers if you observe more and read. Watch what it is that other people talk about, and then if only through denitration you can do much to enliven what you have to say. Also if you exert your imagination you can think of things to say. Conversation is an art, but it can be cultivated by the person who is willing to make a study of it. Be neat, courteous and ANNE'S IRISH ROSE STILL IN LOVE WITH HER THOUGH THEY'RE DIVORCE QUAKE 1 WASHINGTON The shock start continuing for 53 minutes.

REALLY HAS FIVE CARDINALS; BONZANO CITIZEN CO-ED IMITATES MALE IN DRESS SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 23.—“Gee! I wish I were a boy! ‘Then I could do as I want to and not be tied down by the foolish conventions of society.’ With these thoughts uppermost in her mind and the late Dr. Mary Walker as her ideal, Miss Louise Elighmie, 17-year-old Poughkeepsie freshman co-ed and sorority girl, starfied Syracuse university faculty and students when she appeared with a mannish hairstyle, hair trimmed close, neck shaved and a carefully brushed “part” and, to top it off, decidedly mannish clothes. She is the only child of a Poughkeepsie alderman-at-large, and last summer registered at Yale as “'Louls' Elighmie.' She was anxious to complete her studies at New Haven as a boy, but her mother at the last moment refused permission. Louise wants to be a great surgeon. She is registered in the pre-medic course in Liberal Arts college. Hailed as a regular girl by her sorority sisters, she is an enthusiastic athlete and a devout follower of the more strenuous sports. Even football claims her, and she cannot understand why co-eds generally should not indulge in the gridiron game. On the campus and at her classes Miss Eighmie wears skirts. Syracuse university co-eds may not wear knickers unless actively engaged in athletics, such as skating, hockey or hiking. Dean Jean Marie Richards, who mothers all Plety Hill co-eds, frowns on freakish innovations in co-eds’ clothing, and she does not approve mannish apparel for her charges, at least in classes. Louise has many times donned masculine attire just for the fun of it. She makes a decided impression. Many are the co-eds she has fooled. Washington authorities refused a request that a memorial tree be planted on Sixteenth-st for Nikola Lenin. MANY WRECK PACIFIC PORTLAND, Ore.

The year 1923 was one of storms along the Pacific coast, resulting in a heavy toll of marine disasters. But many an accident was recorded in fair weather. The Oregon coast had its share, with a number of spectacular disasters that resulted in deeds of heroism never to be forgotten. One long-to-be-remembered wreck, the loss of the schooner C. A. Smith, in Coos Bay, December 17, was replete with stories of sacrifice, hardships and bravery. Ten men lost their lives in attempting to rescue a crippled radio operator. Twenty-three lives and millions of dollars' worth of government property were lost in the disastrous wreck of seven American destroyers at La Honda, Calif., September 8. The destroyers crashed onto a reef when they went off their course through an error in navigation reckonings. The Japanese steamer Shinkoko Maru struck the rocks off the coast of Alaska, but without loss of life due to the superb work of the ship's American captain. Several disasters were recorded in Puget Sound within a short time last summer, about the time the transport Henderson crashed with a destroyer while the late President Harding was en route to the United States from Alaska on the former. The loss of the steamer Swift Star between Los Angeles and the Panama canal last August will remain as one of the mysteries of the sea. The ship and 68 lives were lost. The barkentine Amy Turner went down in the Pacific last summer. The captain, his wife and nine members of the crew lost their lives. Four others were picked up in a lifeboat a week later, all of them bereft of their reason. The tug Tyree went down in a raging storm off Everett, Wash., the day before Christmas, with four lives lost. The tug was going to the aid of a crippled steamer. The steamer Astorian was recently sunk in Puget Sound, collision with a barge. All saved. There was the wreck of the gasboat Lifeline, near Nehalem, in May, and numerous others of like nature. Several ships were forced to rush into ports, with fires in their holds; several grounded here and there, and others lost deckloads and underwent other harrowing experiences.
