Editor: Here are a few more questions and answers which are puzzling to some of the people and which will enlighten them on Defense Day Test. Q—Is the Defense Test contrary to "ideals and traditions of the United States of America? A—No. The Defense Test is in exact accord with these ideals and traditions. American ideals are "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Our forefathers recognized that these ideals could only be secured through "union, order and common defense." These ideals must live if the nation is to live, and the Defense Test is designed to perpetuate these ideals. As to traditions, the Defense Test will be very similar to the time-honored "muster day" under the act of 1792. Under this act, all free, male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45, were required to register and report, when directed, at a point or muster. In some localities, the entire population participated in "Muster Day" assembling picnic fashion to witness the ceremonies and exercises. In view of our past history, can the Defense Test be said to be not in accord with American ideals and traditions? Q—Will the Defense Test be a "display of armament?" A—Absolutely not, because there is no armament to display. The phrase, "display of armament," implies an exhibition of implements and weapons of offense. A "display of armament" also implies complete assembly of offensive weapons, the necessary supplies for them, personnel to operate them, in short, a "display of armament" can be adequately described by one word, "mobilization." The Defense Test is not a mobilization. There will be no display of such implements or weapons. The uniformed forces Europe in 1914, it was too late for America to make any real preparation, as this would have been viewed with suspicion by the General Powers and might even have been considered a warlike act. Respectfully, M. W. MARTENET, JR., Commander Annheim Post No. 72, American Legion. Paris Style Hints PARIS, Sept. 3. — Why the woman's stick happened to come back into fashion, no one knows; but anyway, it is here. Perhaps it was just in the natural course of events, for all styles have a habit of returning every so often. Or perhaps it was because of the shortening of the umbrella. Very often a woman wants something substantial to lean upon. The canes one sees along the boulevards show at a glance that they are meant for the ladies. They are slender little sticks covered with lizard-skin—green, red, gray or violet. There is every color of the rainbow, for the stick must match the costume or, at least, be in harmony with it. A striking ensemble seen on the avenue last week had a lizard stick to match the shoes, and a purse of the same material. Another was in black and white, with a shiny black stick, with white ivory handle. Georgette has been showing several of her mannequins, with charming navy-blue costumes, carrying bright red sticks: Red and blue are favorite ones for beach wear. At Deauville every woman is carrying some kind of a stick. It is most convenient for walks along the beach, and then, besides, it is very cliff. One amusing model is triangular, in laquered red and adored in gold, with small Chihuahua skin. CLAIM SANTA ANA POLICEMEN K.K. Santa Ana councilmen took steps to rid the city police department of what it declared be Ku Klux Klan activity, wielding George McPhee, police commissioner, ordered Police Chief Claude Rogers that "klan activities must stop." McPhee said he had the backing of other members of the board of trustees. McPhee's statement follows: "Hearing rumors that 17 or 22 members of the fife were klansmen and the membership in the klan was a condition of obtaining a place on the four also that policemen were working for the klan even while in form I investigated the situation personally." While in some respects it is somewhat overdrawn, I never found the situation serene Therefore, I notified City Marsh Rogers of my investigations told him that klan activities—the police force must cease there would be some vacancies. "At my suggestion, Rogers ordered the officers together and gave them my message. He told further that I meant it and wrote what I said. That is what will prompt report any guerrilla act I discover to the city council with the recommendation I prompt dismissal. And I know that the council will stand behind me in the matter." COWTESTING ASS'N AGAIN OPERATE After an interruption of four months, due to the quarantine, rectors of the dairy departments at Farm Bureau have employed Morton Malligan as cow tester. Malligan has been in dairy weafor a year here in the county coming from Illinois, where he had engaged in a like occupation His duties as tester will be wearing the milk given through a 2-hour period, determining the butter test and compiling the tow pounds of milk and butter fat produced for every cow in the association. In other words, he will be the efficiency expert for the dairymen, determining the re- A—Absolutely not, because there is no armament to display. The phrase, "display of armament," implies an exhibition of implements and weapons of offense. A "display of armament" also implies complete assembly of offensive weapons, the necessary supplies for them, personnel to operate them, in short, a "display of armament" can be adequately described by one word, "mobilization." The Defense Test is not a mobilization. There will be no display of such implements or weapons. The uniformed forces of the United States which participate in the Defense Test Day exercises will only carry with them the implements and accountrements used by them daily in their profession in the same manner as a workman going to his job would carry his tools. Q—Why hold a Defense Test when we are at peace with all the world? A—Because this is the only time we can hold it. When relations with any foreign government become strained it is too late to hold any "test mobilization" or "test of mobilization plans" without danger of bringing on war. As late as 1917, although the possibility of our being drawn into the World War had been recognized from the beginning, we nevertheless, had made no preparation or even plans. This was natural, as our government was trying to convince all the belligerents, especially Germany, that our motives were peaceful. After the commencement of hostilities in Georgette has been showing several of her mannequins, with charming navy-blue costumes, carrying bright red sticks: Red and blue are favorite ones for beach wear. At Deauville every woman is carrying some kind of a stick. It is most convenient for walks along the beach, and then besides, it is very clic. One amusing model is triangular, in laquered red and adored in gold, with small Chinese figures. Others that are seen have crooked handles reintegrated of the more solid masculine cane, but are small and slender, in green blue or red. Molyneux is having his mannequins carrying great sticks like the eighteenth century ones shoulder high and topped off with a motif in silver or gold. WINS $4000 FROM PICKWICK STAGES Andrew Bischoff, San Francisco youth, was awarded $4000 damages against the Pickwick Stages, Inc., by a jury in Judge R. Y. Williams' superior court after it had heard evidence that the youth, a passenger on the stage, was injured when it was in collision with a truck. Bischoff sued for $10,150 damages. An appeal from judgment was considered likely. The Coast Truck Lines, owner of the truck and also a defendant, secured a release from judgment when its motion for non-suit was granted.

ASKS MANDATE OF LAFOLLETTE TICKET SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 2—A petition for a writ of mandal instructing the county clerk of Marin-co to receive, examine and forward to the secretary of state a nominating petition for the group of candidates for presidential electors pledged to support LaFollette and Wheeler, was filed in the state supreme court here today. The petition was filed by ttorney Nathan Moran, in the name of all the 13 candidates on th LaFollette-Wheeler electoral ticket. The county clerk in Madison refused to receive the LaFollette-Wheeler petition on the ground that the law in respect to nomination of independent candidates for presidential electors by petition is so ambiguous that he wished to have a court ruling proceeding.
