MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1925 ROAD FINANCING CENTER OF STAGE BACRAMENTO, March 30 — Highway financing held the center of the stage today as the legislature entered the ninth week of its session. Only three weeks remain until the tentative date set for sime die adjournment and practically none of the major issues has yet been settled. It is up to the state highway commission to make the next move in the highway financing battle. The senate has requested a budget of its program from the commission, and until this has been delivered, the opposing factions can do little but wait. Senator Arthur H. Breed's measure proposing a one cent increase in the gasoline tax is still before the Senate committee on revenue and taxation with no indication of its being reported back to the upper house at the present time. The committee meets again on Wednesday, but whether action will be taken on the bill at that time is still a matter of conjecture. Tonight the Senate judiciary committee will begin consideration of a measure introduced by Senator J. M. Inman, which permits one municipality to pay damages to another. This bill is sponsored by the citizens of Owens Valley as a result of the recent controversy with Los Angeles over the water situation in that section. According to residents of Bishop, here in support of the bill; Los Angeles has agreed to pay reparations for the damage caused by the farmers of Owens Valley gone through taking water from the Owens river, but insists that the present law will not permit them to do so. The bill under consideration tonight is merely an enabling act which will give Los Angeles that legal authority.

The bill under consideration tonight is merely an enabling act which will give Los Angeles that legal authority. This afternoon the assembly will be concerned with the inability of exusing children from school from one to three hours weekly for religious instruction. The proposal is contained in a bill introduced by Assemblywoman Eleanor Miller, of Bakersfield. Mrs. Miller's bill was fith-drawn from the assembly education committee last week on motion of its author after the committee had tabled it. The committee spent more than a week hearing arguments on the measure. Much of the opposition to the proposal is voiced by members of the Seventh Day Adventists who regarded the movement to be an opening wedge for religious instruction within the public schools. PRESIDIO OFFICER LODGED IN JAIL SAN FRANCISCO, March 30—Second Lieutenant Lewis Leone, bachelor officer at the Presidio, today was lodged in the city prison charged with attempting a statutory offense. Leone was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Thos. Edwards, who says he entered her apartment early in day and tried to get in bed with it. Thinking it was her husband, a chauffeur, Mrs. Edwards went back to sleep. When Edwards came in and found the officer in the bedroom, he called a policeman. Leone declared he does not "remember a thing about it." "I had been out to dinner and I guess we had a few drinks. My mind went blank and I don't recall where I went or what happened." "FUTURE INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS WILL BE IN BETTERING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS" Most of the industrial progress of this century will be in bettering the working conditions and the human relationships between employer and employee instead of in perfecting machinery, according to Dr. Gordon S. Watkins of the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois. "Just as the emphasis of the guard witnesses for both sides" CHICAGO, March 30—Both sides in the alloged "million dollar germ murder" guarded witnesses today for fear of tampering. Shate's Attorney Robert E. Crowe has established guards over Dr. C. C. Faiman, Earl Clark and John Marchand, the three chief witnesses for the state. Attorneys for Wm. D. Shepherd, charged with killing his wealthy ward, Billy McClintock, were guarding Mrs. Luelle Rheubel, former secretary of Dr. Faiman who has evidence which will destroy "the confession" of the doctor, Wm. Scott Stewart, chief defense attorney, holds. Shepherd's second fight for bail probably will be decided tomorrow by Judge Jacob Hopkins. Coroner's chemists were analyzing the vital organs of Dr. Oscar Olson and Mrs. Emma McClintock to determine whether poison caused their deaths. ENGLISH JUSTICES WAR ON BIGAMY London, March 30 — England's justices have started a campaign whom could reach every subscriber's line in the exchange group. For many years all the telephone switchboards and telephone instruments were of the magneto type, the electricity for ringing and talking being supplied by small battery cells located at each subscriber's telephone and the ringing being done by hand by means of a magneto generator and call bell. The growth of the telephone in large communities made the problem of keeping the batteries in condition for service an increasingly difficult one, and in 1896 the Common Battery System had been developed and the first... "FUTURE INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS WILL BE IN BETTERING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS" Most of the industrial progress of this century will be in bettering the working conditions and the human relationships between employer and employee instead of in perfecting machinery, according to Dr. Gordon S. Watkins of the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois. "Just as the emphasis of the nineteenth century was on the machine, so the emphasis of the twentieth century will be on the human factors in production." Dr. Watkins says. The statement is based on the fact that the amount of production is governed largely by the mental attitude of the workers on any job, and the study for the executives of the future will be chiefly one of the employee and his environment. "There is an increasing number of employers who are convinced that the conservation of human forces in production is a primary burden of modern industry, the assumption of which is being demanded more and more by society." Dr. Watkins declares. Constructive social progress in inextricably related to rational administration of industrial relations. Society is advancing rapidly to the conclusion that our economic organization is not an end in itself but rather the means to the realization of the largest expression of human life; not the largest expression of a few individualities, but the maximum of development for every human being who by honest toll willing to make his contribution to the progress of civilization. "The management of American industry is more and more falling into the hands of men who have this deeper appreciation of human values and this nobler objective of the human race. The old industry, with its selfish and autocratic policies of administration, is yielding slowly but surely to the new with its spirit of mutuality. Into the new industry is coming a new type of executives—one who is convinced that the successful manager of the future will be the one who understands human nature no less than he knows the intricacies of the technical aspects of industry." ENGLISH JUSTICES WAR ON BIGAMY London, March 30 — England's justices have started a campaign to put an end to the profession of bigamy. Recent cases have indicated that there are persons in England engaged in the profession of marrying alien women of questionable character in order that these women may become British citizens and continue to live in England without running the risk of deportation. One man, already married, has been heavily sentenced for annexing two other brides, neither of which he has seen since the day of the wedding. Justice Avory in dealing with one such case declared that appeared to be "a nefarious system" at work to provide British citizenship for these alien women and that he would do all in his power to check it, and he expected that exemplary sentences would act as a deterrent. In some cases the circumstances of the bigamy have been rather pitiful, for the person actually guilty of bigamy has been some unemployed man who has been glad to make a little money by going through the form of marriage. Those who arrange the bigamous weddings seem to have escaped the law, and it is doubtful whether there is any way in which they can be punished. POLKA REVIVAL Farmers of the Maryport district of England have attempted to revive the polka and other old-time dances, much to the joy of the younger generation, who seemed willing to drop the modern steps somewhat upon being taught the polka and the lancers by the older dancers. Williams Smith inaugurated the novelty at a dancing hall, with the aid of the community. ENGLISH HEART Dear Mrs. Thompson: People don't like me. I get along with everyone for a while and then apparently without reason they suddenly break with me and we are no longer friends, just acquaintances. And now I'm a high school graduate, my teens are almost gone, the cloud that hangs over my life has no silver lining and there are no openings where the sunlight can come through. I am so lonely. I get up lonely, eat lonely, work lonely and enjoy limited recreations lonely. I don't know why. I want to cry. I would like to go away out to the great open spaces of the west, where I could be alone and forget it all. What should I do? ELLA. Your trouble is the old cry on lack of popularity which you are at a loss to explain. Why do you imagine one great loneliness could cure another?

Fischer came to this country in January 17, 1924, and shortly after took a position with the International Harvester company, Chicago, to continue his study of machinery manufacture. On December 5 he boarded a train to New York, checked his bagage through to the Grand Central terminal, and since the following day has not been seen. Buffalo police, working in conjunction with the Chicago authorities and theories of the New York Bureau of Missing Persons, traced the young man's movements until the time he made bagage arrangements at Buffalo on the morning of December 6. The following day the trunks and suicides were taken from the bagage room in New York by a man believed to have been other than Fischer himself. Complete descriptions of the missing student have been published, and a reward of $100 promised by E. J. Luster of 30 Church street, New York, any information leading to whereabouts of Fischer. Fischer carried no jewelry other than a valcable gold watch of Swiss make, yet the fact that strange man called for the bagage while Fischer was acquainted with no one in Buffalo, leave room for a suspicion of foul play. The missing man speaks English with a Swedish accent, has blond hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, weighs about 150 pounds and about 5 feet 11 inches tall. He is the son of Anders Fischer, a millionaire manufacturer in Stockholm, Sweden, who is speaking huge sums in the search.

ART AND HOME PROBLEMS ELIZABETH THOMPSON LOVER'S LIES s. Thompson: Shortly Christmas I became acception with a young man three my senior. We were to each other from the although my friends about him I continuwith him as he always with the greatest review to love him and gave other boy friends. He loved me and told me even his mother that and intended to marry times we had quarrels going out with other always said it was all to go with them but could never call on me went with any one else. I never consented to edition and after a week we always came back, to give up girls and do week and the week weever, he tried to have other girls and came to off nights. I told him so that if he wished, but I would go with other now that we have parted my friends or rather that I am not the kind by think I am, which is his mother asked me could go you would find out in short order that things at home were not as bad as you imagine now. Cultivate a tremendous interest in the doings of others—not their affairs, mind you—and learn to be a good and interested listener. Top that with a thousand and one little thoughtful kindnesses and see if the girl who is attractive enough to draw friends to her isn't also clever enough to hold them. GERTRUDE — You might give the boy a book, a self-sharpening pencil, watch fob, writing paper, kodak book, or subscription to a boy's magazine. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 16 years of age and enjoy really good times. By that I mean sports like tennis and swimming and I also love good books. But I do not care about going to dances and would not be allowed to if I did. But that is where most of my trouble comes in. The boys and girls I know do not care to have me in their set as I do not care to go out evenings. I suppose they think I am slow. It seems that almost all the girls and boys I know go to dances and I have thought and thought how I could in my whole life. A friend said that the reason boys didn't like me was because I am not the "loving" kind. I try to be pleasant to every one. How can I gain some friends? Your letter is inconsistent. You blame your parents for not letting you have friends, and at the same time you admit you do not attract friends. You also seem prejudiced in your own favor and say you are attractive and worthy of a second look while other girls who are popular are not attractive. Unless you face yourself squarely and are willing to admit your fallings and overcome them, you will not get anywhere. Of course you are attractive and lovable, but along with that there is something in your personality which lacks charm. The thing for you to do is to cultivate and think lovable thoughts. When you see other people look for the best in them and do not wonder how they can have friends when they are so unattractive. Probably you are willing to meet people half way, but you want them to go their half first. You must learn to give more of yourself. Take the first steps in making friends by speaking pleasantly, showing interests in the joys and sorrows of your acquaintances, giving forth radiance instead of reserve, and thinking tolerant and charitable thoughts instead of critical ones about other people.

I am sure you can help me win the confidence and companionship of my friends. TROUBLED. You would be happier, I think, if you looked for friends with tastes and privileges similar to your own. You might form a reading club and invite a few boys and girls to your own home for the first meeting. If you choose young people who do not dance you will probably find that your interests are more congenial and your chances for companionship and close friends greater. Doubtless there are many others in Class at school, both boys and girls, who like books and sports, but who are not permitted to run around evenings to dances and amusements of that sort. Your friends who dance feel a lack of interest in common between you and them and therefore they forget about you and enjoy their own little group where they talk about the good times in which they all have shared. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in my teens and I am lonesome as can be. All my friends, some older and some younger, go with the boys, but I am not allowed to. I do not know why for I would not do anything wrong, but I am tied down just the same. No one cares for me and I sometimes cry myself to sleep. I am what a person would call attractive and when any one passes me on the street he looks at me twice. Still no one goes with me. I know several girls six years younger than I am who are not attractive, but they go to nearly every party that is given and I have only gone to one do not wonder how they can have friends when they are so unattractive. Probably you are willing to meet people half way, but you want them to go their half first. You must learn to give more of yourself.

DESERTED I am 34 years old and have been married one month. My husband and I never had any disagreements or arguments in our home and he never went out without taking me with him. He seemed to show his love for me in every respect until yesterday. He said I might take in a movie alone as he had some business to attend to and he would see me at 4 o'clock. But on returning home instead of seeing my husband I found a note, written to this effect. "M—I can't live with you any longer." In case he writes should I answer or if he comes back should I give him another trial? Should I live with him at all? Please advise me what to do. HEART-BROKEN WIFE M.S. If he writes to you or comes back ask him to tell you the truth and say you will forgive him and give him his freedom if that is what he wants. I think he loves you. Begin right away to live without any expectation of your husband's return, because it is quite probable you will never see him again. This blow is a terrible thing, but if you show a brave spirit you can hold up your head and still find happiness. ROSE BROWN EYES—It is not right for you to wear the plin or the ring, and it would be in very poor taste to ask permission of the boy. Both articles should be returned to him.

USE MORE RICE Rice is a palatable food when properly cooked, and it can be combined in many ways with more expensive and highly flavored foods into nutritious dishes. When potatoes are scarce and high in price, or when there is a shortage of wheat and other bread cereals, substitute rice. Cultivation of rice was begun in the Carolinas and Georgia in Colonial days, and has now assumed importance in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and the Sacramento valley in California. There are also scattered plantings in Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Missouri. The United States now grows more rice than it consumes although the Orient produces about 97 per cent of the world's crop. The varieties of rice grown in this country are considered among the best in the world.
