POUCEFORCE
CAPABLE OF
DOING GOOD
L y
T - -•
LOS ANGELES, July 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A national police
force, operated as a separate and dis
tinctive branch of the federal govern
ment, possessed with funds sufficient
to prosecute the most relentless in
vestigations, and removed from the
realm of politics, is the ideal agency
by which the United States can com
bat radicalism, in the opinion of John
L. Butler, chief of police of Los An
geles, who has just returned from a
conference of Pacific coast chiefs of
police at San Francisco, where the
looming menace of anarchy was dis
cussed.
“This national police department
should be strong enough numerically
to cope with any situation, backed with
sufficient appropriations to undertake
a determined campaign against de
structionists, and should be empowered
by national legislation to call upon,
and if necessary to direct, the activi
ties of nay local authority,” declares
Chief Butler.
"%• “The national police force, which
the best-informed police officials now
favor, should be directed by experi
enced detectivees, not politicians. It
should never be used for political pur
poses, nor for or against labor or cap
ital, and should never become involved
in their differences. The organization
should be one to which could be re
ported for proper inquiry any suspi
cious acts of persons coming to the
notice of city, county or state authori
ties, civic organizations or individuals;
in other words, it should be a central
clearing house for data for the protec
tion of our people and industries
against anarchy or radicalism.”
COMMISSIONER NAMED

LONDON, July 21 (by Associated
Press).—Sir Eric Geddes has been ap

Sir Eric is leaving for Yorkshire to
get in touch with the miners.
FORD LIBEL SUIT IS
STILL DRAGGING ON
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., July 21
(by Associated Press).—The second
week of the appearance of Henry Ford
as a witness in his libel suit against
> the Chicago Tribune began today with
a long argument on the scope of the
cross-examination involving prepared
ness.
SCHOOL VACATION IS
TAKEN DURING WINTER
VENTURA, Cal., July 17 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Far up in the north
* east corner of Ventura county, shut
in on all sides by mountains, is the
little Lockwood school, which exactly
reverses the procedure of most other
schools of the country. The pupils
have their long vacation in the winter
instead of in the summer, and now
that all other schools are closed, Lock
wood is opening up, to run uninter
ruptedly through the summer and far
into the fall.
The cause of the difference is the
great precipitation at Lockwood. There
is much snow in the winter and rain
in the spring and fall, with the result
f that the roads are impassable for long
periods of time. The conventional
school year was formerly attempted,
but because neither pupils nor teacher
could guarantee their presence during
the storm times, the change was
made.
We always have a supply of
pasteurized sweet milk and cream on
^fhand. Also buttermilk and Bulgarian
buttermilk. City Dairy. Phone 187.

PLATINUM FIND
NEAR TIEKELL
IS PROMISING
The stampede to the newly-discov
ered platinum fields eight miles out of
town, has continued unabated ail week,
and practically every citizen has lo
cated a claim or two. Several new
discoveries have been made in other
localities, some of which are reported
to be richer than those first found.
All week men have been dropping
out of town by fives and tens, staking
promising locations and prospecting
other localities for the precious met
als. In some claims a mineral be
lieved to be tungsten is being found.
This metal comes in quartz and is
quite malleable when hammered. As
says received from the first shipment
of the supposed platinum deposits
brought $8 in gold and $247 in plati
num. Since this time Mr. Millard has
sent out a sack of the dirt, unwashed,
for assay, and is anxiously awaiting
returns.
The first shipment was from five
pans of the dirt. There is an ample
head of water for all purposes on the
new discovery, and as far as prospec
tors have panned up the mountainside
the soil is found to be heavily mineral
ized.
While there is nothing to cause a
stampede over until the later samples
are assayed, the citizens have taken
time by the forelock and staked the
mountainside pretty thoroughly.
Later reports from men sinking
prospects on the ground state that the
metal is found in a black sand or talc
about four feet deep. Whatever the
mineral proves to be, there is plenty
of it, nearly every pan of dirt showing
high values.
These benches being right in sight
of town, have been passed up by the
old-timers, who believed the forma
tion was not right for gold or other
minerals. The pans show that the gold
in the ground can be washed at a
profit, as plenty of water is available
for hydraulic purposes.—Valdez Miner.
TENNIS TOURNAMENTS
ROB GIRLS OF BEAUTY
| LONDON, June 16 (by mail).—Ten
nis tournaments rob a pretty girl of >
her good looks, in the opinion of close
observers of the game here.
| “I have known pretty girls who,
after a season or two of tournaments,
have become so completely changed in
appearance and manners that old
friends have failed to recognize them,”
said a well-known player. ‘‘Their
faces become hard and lined, their
youthful bloom entirely disappears and
they lose much of their feminine
charm. I have told my own daughter
that she can play in no more than two
Jtournaments a season. That means she
can not hope to become first-class, but
I would prefer her to remain an at
tractive woman.”
JEWS WILL MIGRATE
TO PALESTINE SOON
NEW YORK, July 21 (by Associated
Press).—The international Zionist or
ganization, said to comprise more than
a million Jews in all parts of the
world, is preparing for the migration
to Palestine as soon as its political
status is fixed.
