NEW SHORTRIDGE BACKERS TO SEE SCHOOL BOARD Citizens Name Committee to Inquire Into Building Delay. The old Short ridge fighting blood ■fa up. The school board, which, through the action of a majority faction composed of Charles R. Yok,-, Fred Elites Juinson and Charles L. Barry, last week ordered all work on plans for anew Shortridge at ThirtyFourth and Pennsylvania St. wHI be called upon to explain 'ts action. At a meeting of the Parent-Teach-ers Association of the school in the Shortridge study hall Tuesday night. Mrs. James M. Ogden, president, appointed Mrs. George C. Finfrock, Hobtert pulton and George Denny a committee to call upon the school board and find out just what the board intends to do in the matter The study hall was packed to capacity. West Side Citizens Rise Similar action was taken by west side citizens Monday night In regard to the proposed west side high school. The Shortridge struggle for new and adequate facilities has been a long one, a fight full of discouraging defeats, of blighted hopes, of delays and disappointment. But through it all the Shortridge spirit never flagged. For years the Shortridge equipment has been pathetically Inadequate, some of it obsolete. Hope for anew home years ago was deferred when Arsenal Technical *~as built. Shortridge adherents were patient and stepped aside, realizing the necessity of a high acl-vOl on the east side. Next a school board began the erection of new lunchrooms and gymnasium at Emmerich Manual Training Again Shortridge supporters stepped aside thinking another year would bring the oegir.ning of anew Shortridge on a site purchased at ThirtyFourth and Pennsylvania Sts. Barry Is Elected Their hopes were heightened when Charles L. Barry, Shortridge graduate, was elected president of the hoard. Before his election he opposed Dther high school building on the yround that Shortridge should be rared for. But during his year in the presidency not only was nothing lone for Shortridge. but the wholDuiiding program came to a dead standstill. Not one brick was laid luring his administration. Again Shortridge took up the battle ind sent a strong delegation to the board to urge action. This lime they were told grade schools must be built co relieve miserable housing facilities, and again Shortage was patient. Then, only a month ago, the Short ridge sun rose. Architects for anew Shortridge, along with a west side and colored high schools, were lected. Then when all seemed rosy. Yoke and Johnson succeeded W. D. Allison and Bert S. Gadd on the board and the two new members joined with Barry, Shortridge graduate, and voted to stop all high school extension ac tivity So Shortridge is back in the old rut, with its overcrowded halls, its badly lighted basement rooms used for classwork, with rooms rented In buildings off the school grounds to care for Its overflow. But Shortridge Is not yet licked, and the next meeting of the school board will find once again a determined delegation on hand to fight for the new building Shortridge sometime, somehow will get.

Chamberlin on methods of securing greater protection for the rights of children born out of wedlock has been decided upon by the committee on illegitimacy, appointed by the Council of Social Agencies.

MEXICANS SEEM ONINTESESTEO IN ‘MILITARY SCRAP’ Appearances on Surface Seem Same as Four Months Ago. By FRANK OIBLER. Staff Correspondent HOUSTON, Texas. Jan. 16.—1 have just returned to Houston after two weeks spent in central Mexico. I went to see the revolution. Lost October I was in Mexico. Then everything was peaceful. This time a civil war is in progress. Yet, on the surface, everything now seems the same, Monterrey the same unhurried people are on the streets. The same crowd around the railroad station. The same few persons In the cantinas. The same “eervaza” and the same tequllla. At the cuartel or barracks a few soldiers were loitering about. Two were walking up and down before the door, rifles over their shoulders If they were going to war against their brothers, they did not seem to know It. “Business Rotten” “Business is rotten,” complained an American tradesman, “bottom knocked out of everything. Money tlghter’n hell. Nobody wants to buy anything. Eatln’ everything they got. Producing nothin’. Wish this damn revolution would stop:’’ he said. At Saltillo in the State of Coahulla the situation seemed to be the same. Same lack of excitement—same lack of money—same lack of business. San Luis Potosi looked a little different. At the barracks across the park from the railroad station was a big white signboard painted In red letters: ‘‘Recruits wanted; $1.65 a day,” it stated. And the recruits did not seem to be coming In very fast. San L&is is the headquarters of Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles, one of the principal figures In the civil war. Or in the military war. perhaps I should say, because the civilians are not much interested in the scrap.
Goes to Mexico City “Maybe I'll find the revolution in Mexico City." I thought, and went on down there. I saw a few recruits with red bands around their hats marching away to be soldiers. Business was bad in Mexico City. 1 saw a man from Guadalajara looking for two cars of Studebakers which had been en route to him when Do la Huerta started his revolution. Oh, yes! railroad communication with Guadalajara had been cut. Gen. Enrique Estrada was In charge over there. I went to Yurecuaro, as far as the train went, and came back toward San Luis Potosi. At Irapuato I heard that Gen. Manuel Dieguez had captured Leon. The train to El Paso was being rerouted —stopped at Celaya and sent around the other way. Rail Communication Delayed Next day the papers said Leon had not fallen. But the trains didn’t go on through. The train back to Laredo had been delayed two hours leaving Mexico City waiting for a shipment of twenty-five rifles to General Calles at San Luis. The rifles never came. Nuevo Laredo was just the same town that the trade trip folks saw. Maybe a little more mud; that was the only difference. Same Mexican bars with American names along the main street. Same few soldiers around the cuartel. Same dirty little boys with their shoe-shin-ing outfits. Same queer odors around the market place. Business was bad. Maybe there is a revolution In Mexico —but the people don’t seem to know It. They will soon—business Is bad. Building Permits Guy Justus, double. 901 N. Shermaa. $6,000. Guy Justus, furnaces, 901 N.

Why Doctors Warn Against Coffee or Tea for Children THE reason is simple. Coflee and tea contain drugs which tend to irritate the delicate nervous system oi children, and so upset health. The Federal Bureau of Education includes in its rules to promote health among growing school children, the warning that “children should not drink tea or coffee at all.” Why confine the warning to children? You are careful to protect the health of your children; why, then, take chances with your own health, when a change from coffee or tea is made , so easy by Postum. Postum is a delicious, pure cereal beverage—ideal for children and satisfying to adults.

RICKARD'S OFFER WINS CONVENTION FORNEW YORK Promoter Steps in With $55,000 and Tops Frisco Bid for Democrats. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—1f New Yorkers feel like hanging a medal on someone for . getting the 1924 Democratic convention for that city, they might as well pin It on Tex Rickard. Rickard It was, who flapped a towel at the waning spirit of the New York delegation, when selection of the convention city hurfg in the balance —with San Francisco on the side. Largely because of Rickard’s efforts the convention will be held in Madisor. Square Garden. The New York delegation had about given up hope. All offers were lr the hands of Clark Howell’s sub-com-mittee and San Francisco's $200,000 offer looked too big to overcome. Then Rickard stepped In. "I told them the way to get what they wanted Was to put up the dough $150,000 Bid Ridiculous
"It's ridiculous to bid only $150,000 for a national convention whm a couple of prize fighters cost $500,000 or more. When you start aftei something, get It. When I bid for a fight, I get it. There are more ways than one.' "I told them there were the radio, restaurants, peanut stand, soda water ; and other concessions. I said I would 1 giveMhem $55,000 outright for them. ! They aren't worth $15,000. That would be enough with our $150,000 to ; top San Francisco by $5,000.” New Y’ork, June 24, la the place I and date.

Stamina, sound health and physical readiness for hard work in all sorts of weather, -he insists are fundamental in maintaining an individual service up to the United States standard and he has made it a point to maintain that service. Mr. Lowry select3 Todd's Tonic as a positive essential. This* famous preparation Mr. Lowry declares, is the reinforcement demanded by nature when wearied by the task Qf the mail carrier. P-E-P is the way Lowry* spells Todd s Tonic, which he says renews in him much of the spirit and energy of 1872 and is a part of his safeguard against the Jaded condition known by many carriers of less years’ service. In his own words, Mr. Lowry says; “I recommend Todd’s Tonic because I found it to be a good tonic to keep me strong and healthy. At the end of the day when other men complain of feeling tired and worn out I feel as fresh aa a daisy. I have an appetite like a man of 3u.
