(WASHIXOTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The old question of what policy should, be pur sued with respect to the national guard, and. whether state forces should again be aided and. built up on the lines of the old national guard awaits decision -gong with other matters of military policy. J The military appropriation bill to be passed early In the new year has not sJcen definite form, and it is not ex pected that It will decide as to the (rational guard. Before passing- on that question except in a temporary way, congress will want to know what is to happen as to the strength of the perma nent regular army, and the question of universal or limited military training. 'V Friends of the national guard organlr cations promise to make a fight for the old state system when the time comes. ,They assert that It was justified by the record made In war by the national 'guard, which responded promptly and ! furnished several hundred thousand i troops, either fully or partly drilled, whose training was so far advanced as to make them available much quicker , than an army could have been formed Without the militia system. The records of the war department show that 18 divisions were furnished 'from the national guard. 15 of them rfscnea France, ana several, in the Hois- A a.. Tl..l 1 1 .

"There Is entirely too much variation In the number of pupils promoted in the different schools," said Acting Super intendent D. A. Grout, "and It Is our aim to set a standard range of per centage.". At present the average number of stu dents receiving "excellent" is about 18 per cent, and those ."unsatisfactory" is about 10 per cent, but the percentages reported from ome of the schools range tis high as 33. The principals hope to arrive at a suitable standard by which to judge their gradings and if their schools are at !wlde variance with this accepted - standard, to ascertain the reason.

Mr. Veazie's lectures on the history of the war which have been Instituted at Jefferson high are becoming quite popular, and Mr. Veazie expects shortly to hold a public assembly at the school for the residents of the neighborhood. Mr. Veazie goes from room to room, giving his lecture to all the different classes as they are engaged In other work. The interest displayed among the stu dents at Jefferson high night school Is remarkable, asserts Principal A. M. Gray. Although the attendance has fallen off somewhat because of influ enza and vacatlqns, those who remained are doing splendid work. Another reason for a somewhat small er attendance than last year is evi denced in the fact that no courses are given in domestic science, millinery, ma chine shop and Spanish, and many per sons who would have attended were dis appointed in -not getting these courses. .Now -that vacations are over, Mr. Gray expects a larger number of pupils. Night schools are also maintained at Lincoln. High School of Commerce and tho Girls' Polytechnic. Ex-Patient Sues Doctor Dr. W. J.

HUMAN SAYS RELIEF NECESSARY AT ONCE Supervision, Asserts Chairman of County Commission; Is Essen tial to Get Full Value. ; "One of the first duties of the county commission for 1919 is the reorganiza tion of the relief bureau," said Rufus C. Holman, chairman of the county com mission, Saturday. "We are appropriating more than $20, 000 a year of taxpayers money for the relief of need, and we are doing It without providing adequate supervision or care to see that tie money is effici ently spent,, and in such a manner as to help rather than pauperize the needy. "When I recently made a motion for the discharge of Henry Griffin as, clerk of the board of relief on the charge of inefficiency I was taken somewhat to task because of my reference to the unguided purchase of chickens, dainties and milk at 42 cents for two quarts. It was made to appear that I desired tou deny to the needy essential food, and that I was carping over small details. , "I am doing no such thing. I believe, on the contrary, that every dollar ap propriated by the county should be spent in such a way as to bring the greatest measure of good to its beneficiaries and the maximum of return from the view point of the taxpayers. "Henry Griffin is not competent to handle the work properly. He was a bartender before he became clerk of the board of relief. I am unwilling to be represented by him In the spending of $20,000 of the taxpayers' money.. , ' "I believe it is the duty of the county commission, acting as the county hoard of relief, to sell to It that service, inquiry and supervision are exercised in the county's relief work. Only reorganiza tion can accomplish the desired end."

CLEVER WQJIK LANDS MAN Indicted Real Estate Operator Caught by Portland Man. Out of the frying pan Into the fire was the experience of D. A. Hatfield, an indicted real estate operator, in at tempting to escape arrest by Deputy Sheriff Schlrmer who was present at a hearing in Sacramento, Cal., before Gov ernor Stephens in which the question of Hatfield's extradition .was being dis cussed. Hatfield was present, but 'at liberty under $2000 bonds. When, as thfr hearing progressed, Hatfield noted It was progressing unfavorably he,, as the officer tells. It. "put on his lid and pussy-footed out of the room." At the conclusion of the hearing Schirmer ob tained l;a state warrant authorizing him to arrest the man anywhere in the state and started hot haste for Oakland where he was informed Hatfield would likely go. The train had traveled south pf Sacramento eight or ten miles when "k stopped at a small station and Hatfield boarded It with a ticket to a station a few miles from Oakland where, he In tended getting off to elude pursuit. He sat right down beside the officer who displayed his warrant and placed Hat field under arrest. Arriving in Oakland, the deputy was obliged to dodge ,a habeas corpus writ sued out ""by Hatfield's attorneys. This he did by making a quick move to Berkeley whence he departed with his prisoner for Portland. The crime for which Hatfield was extradited was the alleged signing of a deed to property which he had previous ly deeded lo another party. A later indictment charges blm with -giving a bill of sale to the Zimmerman, Wells Hardware company for a donkey en gine which he did not own. Hatfield is held at the county Jail in default of $5000 ball. TOO MUCH MOTHER-IN-LAW Wife Refuses to Stand Nagging and . Seeks Divorce. .
