A Caravan of Motor Trucks
For Remembrance.
On July 7 there started from the
While House a procession of mitt or
trucks. Their final destination in San
Francisco.
These are the trucks which took the and cid
place to a very pteat extent, of the
sacred army mule in hauling supplies
and munitions in thin country and
abroad during the war.
The war department is responsiltl"
for the trip, the main ohject of which
in to arouse national interest in a ser
ies of ''.toads of Remembrance," roads
utrtftchiiiK' nway across the country,
dedicated to the remembrance of the
boys who drove the trucks in the war,
find their comrades.
The Men of memorial rnnds is not
new, but now it is proposed by the
war department that the route fol
lowed by the trucks shnll bo the line
of the rnnd.
The forestry department Is urrinif
that the roads be lined with trees, and
" this In the Rospel which will be
preached as the caravan winds ita way
westward.
Cheer the trucks they pas by,
for they made history! And let each
r I it to build its roads nnd plant its'
tiees. No nobler tie could join tht
past and future.
Majority Are Jap Children
In California.
A phase of California's Japanese
problem which is tie w to most. Amer
icans is presented in a recent state
ment made by Senator James It. The
The House bill fur the enforcement
oC war time prohibition and the fed
eral prohibition amendment is drastic.
'J.-penally in its inHtcnce that liquor
containing more than one-half of one
per cent is intoxicating. I Jut tlnire is
one atritiuro exception made from
which thirsty souls, particu'nrly in
the iural sections may derive solace.
Cider is excepted. Not sweet cider,
but hard cider. This, as too many
men know to their roM, is a potent
beverage, whose effects, are some
times disastrous beyond what mitfht
be expected from its alcoholic con
tent. And that content, us laboratory
inquiries have established, is not a'
afi ins;Kiiitu-aiit.
department of Agriculture expert-)
testify that fomented cider contain
8 to 10 per cent alcohol, which i'
twice as much as there used to lie ii
beer. Nevertheless eofij.fiess in it
wiydom decrees that bei-r is dead'v
is harmless.
It is probably futile to inquire too
closely into the operations of the con
(rie:iiitnal mind on this matter. 'Per
haps the "'dry" were fearful of mak
ing the law too drastic, and chose U
create a sort of safety-valve to eas-!
the "wet" pressure and avoid retalia
t tins. Or perhaps the congressmo?
feared the fanner vote.
At any rate, the exception stands,
unless the senate rules it out. And
thus cider steps into a new and hon
ored ilace--or di.-bonoi ed, if yon pre
fer in the list of American drinks.
Henceforth it is to be the only bever
age olitainuble Hindis capable of in
during not, intoxication, of course,
congress has settled thatbut such
transient exhilaration as people havj
been wont to obtain from alcohol.
It needs no prophet to forete-ll n
big demand for cider and an cage
market for every cider-apple produced
Tboso apples will not be left rotting

"'This means that one-third of the
runt I population are substantia Ity
Japanese; and, as the rural population
becomes the backbone of every coun

appeal to' all thinking men and wo

in the last ten years at an "incrcdUily
higher rate than white births.
This filling of the- rural districts of
l.os Angeles county and presumably
othur counties of California comes
rihout in an interesting way. Senator

'The American door is presumably
closed against the Jaiiniiese. Th'
