"It is a well-known fact that the majority of these pool rooms," said Bronner. "are nothing more than 'blind pigs' and gambling where, under the Innocent pretense of pool and billiards, are nothing more than dives. "The ordinance I have in preparation and which Is now in the hands of the City Attorney will bar all foreigners from' operating such places anil surrounds those that are operated under a special license that Is provided with certain restrictions, which will prevent them from being conducted as pitfalls for hoys, and as lounging places for men."

Henry I). Jones, for fifteen years county assessor of Contra Costa county, handed in his resignation before the board of supervisors yesterday. George O. Meese, who has Tied the position of deputy assessor for tli- last seven years, was appointed by the hoard to fill the vacancy. Business reasons is the cause given for Jones' resignation.

He intends to devote more of his time to his real estate business. For twenty years he has been identified prominently in the politics of the state, being affiliated with the Republican party. The new assessor is chairman of the Republican County Central papers. I always made it a rule to sell the top paper first. The newsboy that sells the clean sheet is usually the one that makes the most money.

I wish every boy i i Oakland could see his way clear to save a money out of each day's sales, so they could go to night school; then, along with their business training of selling papers each day on the streets, and good habits, they would get mentaly equipped to hold a very good position."
