They will spend the day with ZELIAN SOD LED The same number, 384, the same street, the same west side, midway between Court and Fourth street, for the past four years, but what a transformation the entrance and interior of Zelman's Quality Shop has undergone In the past two weeks. To those who can look backward 22 years, to 611 Third street, where the business began the transformation would be the more amazing. There Mr. and Mrs. Louis Zelman began in an extremely modest way the business of selling suits, coats and women's wear.

Two great advantages which 1m-ntodiately made for them friends and business were the courtesy and friendliness evinced for all comers, and the expert knowledge of cus- torn tailoring of Mr. Zelman avail- able in any alteration problems, (Continued on Page Twenty-One) Big Sisters, New High Gathering on the front lawn of the San Eernardino senior high school at 8 a. m. tomorrow, the opening day, new students will be entertained at a special program, following which, their "big sisters" and "big brothers" will direct them to their classes and about the school.

Cobb Talks Gov.

Frank F. Merriam was the guest of honor at a dinner given last night at the Mountain Meadows Country club, by the management of the Los Angeles county fair, now In progress at Pomona, which was attended by about 125 guests from all parts of Southern California. The clubhouse is located on an eminence northwest of Pomona, looking down on the fairgrounds, and the illumination of the latter furnished an unexpected night scene for the guests. The dinner was served at 6 o'clock, in the hope that the guests would be able to be present at the horse show which Is a night feature of the fair, but between the din ner and the post-prandial program, It was toward 9 o'clock p.m. before the guests reached the seats at the horse show that had been reserved for them.

HOUSTON PRESIDES President Clyde E. Houston pre sided at the dinner and following the serving of the food, he intro duced the guests at the speakers' table, merely for each of them to "take a bow," and then he introduced Irvin S. Cobb, who with wit and stories kept the audience in a roar of laughter while he held the floor. Governor Merriam was then presented, the guests standing and applauding as the Governor stood next to the toastmaster. It happens that Governor Merriam has attended all of the fairs at Pomona this Is the fourteenth and while he made no comparison, he was able to say much that was complimentary to the Pomona fair, as well as the State fair at Sacramento, which closed but a few days ago.

He particularly emphasized what might be referred to as the human element in such exhibitions, citing the fact that at Sacramento thou sands of boys and girls of the 4-H clubs are thus brought into touch with all of the branches of effort represented, agriculture in particular, and ventured the hope that more and more the Southern California fair might give opportunity for similar emphasis. MERRIAM CHAFFS COBB At the same time, the governor was in fine fettle, and developed many a laugh at the expense of Mr. Cobb, who Is a Kentucky Democrat by birth and training, but had voted for Merriam for Governor of California, and Cobb good-naturedly helped along the fun with his Interruptions. Following the dinner, the cars sped down the hill for the belated horse show In the arena, reserved seats having been furnished the guests in as compact a block as was possible. Among those enjoying the dinner, the fun and the horse show later were President A.

H. Brouse and Secretary R. H. Mack of the National Orange show, Paul Moore, of the Redlands Facts, Assemblyman Godfrey A. Andreas, of Upland, and Mr.

and Mrs. R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino. Most of the Southern California senators and assemblymen other districts were also state from listed among the guests.

WPA Camps Get Authorization Authorization for the operation of single men's camps in San Ber nardino county under the WPA was received yesterday from state headquarters in San Francisco by Ralph B.

Smith, director of district No. 5. Under the set-up, an opportunity will be given for the men to do work in more remote sections. This has been impossible in the past, Mr. Smith said, because proper food has not been available for the men.

The administration will care in some way for the feeding under this plan, it was said, and may furnish the housing as well, although some of the projects may have housing furnished by sponsors. In all probability, the work will be done at gravel or material plants in the desert, with the products being used for road work, or in portions of the forest.

Johnson that, in no way, will the selling of liquor to minors be tolerated, and he prom ised that any found guilty of such an act would be dealt with drastically. Such a stand by the city adminis tration always has been in effect. but in the past few days, Mr. John son said, it has been brought to his attention that there has been an increasing number of minors permitted to buy and drink liquor. Wherever possible, police officers have arrested those who have been discovered selling alcoholic beverages to those who are under age, It has been difficult in the past, however, to obtain enough information or witnesses to present the cases in court.

Cooperation of city residents has been solicited by the mayor and Police Chief Joseph H. Hayden in their campaign against such liquor violators. Reports of violations will be welcomed either by the police department or by Mayor Johnson. "We feel that to sell liquor to minors is to take advantage of a susceptible period In the life of a child when it is forming habits that will be very difficult to break in later life," Mayor Johnson stated. "Such action is most despicable, and the police chief has been Instructed to enforce the law, in regard to the situation, to the fall extent." Pension Club No.

Bell, director of the county welfare department, announced yesterday. The new security plan will supersede the former plan used in the county welfare bureau, although the changes, in effect, will be slight, Mrs.

Bell. MINIMUM AGE REDUCED The only changes in the state plan from the one used in San Bernardino county heretofore will be increasing the maximum bene fits allowed one person and a re duction in the minimum age at which an application may be filed for welfare funds. The revised regulations under the new system provide for part of the costs of the plan to be borne by the state. Heretofore, the county has had to finance the welfare bureau entirely out of local funds. $20 MONTHLY MINIMUM All the other provisions necessary to secure pensions under the old.

welfare system will remain virtually Intact.
