sor the meet and if there shoull be
any profit at any time this will be
divided among the schools of the
county this offer was accepted by
the principals. It was decided that
instead of classifying the track meet
entrants according to weight as here
tofore, that they should be classified
according to age, grado height,
weight, the exact system to be work
ed out by the county board of con
trol composed of Superintendents II.

Eart That Tell Age
To ascertain the age of a horse, If
not too old, It Is usual to examine Its
teeth. To tell the age of a fish,, re
gardless of age, you look Into Its ear.
In the Internal ear of a fish there
Is a little bony pocket. In this pocket
Is a tiny stone called an othollth, which
rolls about as the fish tips this way
and that, nnd so helps It to know If
It Is right side up. As the fish grows
older, snys a writer In English Me
chonlcs, the othollth grows larger, and
the age of the fish may be determined
from Its size.

The Devil's Cargo
A powerful story of
California Gold Rush Days
of an innocent girl and one good man swept out to sea in a flimsy river
craft with a human cargo that is literally "the scum of the earth." How
they fight their way out and change the characters of their scoundrelly
shipmates is worked out in a picture of intense appeal: In this, Wallace
Beery, of "Robin Hood" and "Sea Hawk" fame, has the greatest role of his
career. Of the many exciting stories that have been written about Calif
ornia of 1850, "The Devil's Cargo'Ms the most thrill-filled. Victor Fleming,
producer of "Code of the Sea," "Empty Hands" and other big melodramatic
hits, produced the story by Charles Whittaker, originally published under
the title of "The River Boat." The story is one of Sacramento, at that time
the worst town on the face of the earth a town where shooting was no
crime and the inhabitants went around at high pitch, keyed up by bad liquor
and constant gun-play a town cut off from the rest of the world and glad
of it, as were the law-abiding citizens of neighboring San Francisco.
