The United States Department of Aericulture has a trap for coddllne PROTEST EARLY Committee Will Confer With Council in Requegt For Larger Budget. Protests against the early closing of the schools were made yesterday at the annual meeting of Oakland Federation of Mothers' Clubs. This body of 2000 mothers framed a resolution authorizing a special committee to confer with the council when the budget Is being prepared with a view of having funds appropriated to carry the schools through the year. I'hases of the problem advanced by speeches were: The Injustice of cramming a 40-week course into SS weeks; the hardship on teachers whose annual salaries will be cut from $100 to $160; the turning of children out of the.

classroom for three months; the problem of sending students from the elementary Into the high schools lacking the preparation afforded in the two additional weeks. Mrs. Jack T. Walker, president of Hawthorne I'arent-Teacher Association, introduced the question. She said In part: "No business man would close down his otllce for any length of time, even a day for lack of funds if his business showed progress.

Salaries and budgets should be levied ahead for the full school period that 40,000 school children may not be thrown upon the, streets for vacations-of eleven weeks. Children need vacation, but let us not swamp their education with an overdoing of the vacation idea. Where there Is a cry of Jack of funds-there is not good business management. A way open to us to avoid such an occurrence of the curtailing of school work is to ask the city council to prepare against it with a proper budget." Mrs. Peter J.

Kramer, federation president, will appoint the special committee which will appear before the commissioners protesting the closing of schools on a 38-week basis. Oakland schools will close June 6, re-opening August 22. Flour Is Asked For Near East Distress The "Esther Dollar" will sail from this port June 6, bearing a cargo for Near East Relief. What will you send to the thousands who are tramping the streets, starving for morsels of food or the armies of children who are dying of malnutrition, the Oakland division of the relief organization which has beeSi incorporated by act of Congress, asks. "Say it ith Flour," iS its public appeal.

Twenty-five hundred barrels of flour have been ordered milled from a California company at a minimum cost of $6.50. Who will send a barrel of flour, a half barrel, a quarter of barrel, or a few pounds. Gifts of money for relief and the sending of California products overseas may be sent to local headquarters, 12 Bacon building, telephone Lakeside 35)43. Two hundred and fifty pounds of beans have been donated to the cargo by the Robert Dollar company. San Jose is sending ten tons of prunes; Iowa, tons of corn; Portland and Seattle are their share.

Oakland is asked for the quota of flour to the general store of foodstuffs. William Nat Friend is chairman of the local commodities committee on Near East Relief. Among those who are assisting him in collecting the flour fund are: Wallace M.

The campaign was started yesterday by Postmaster J. J. Kos- borough among Oakland business men, to whom thousands of letters were sent, pointing out the advantages of putting letters In the mall early in the day. In inaugurating the campaign, Postmaster Rosborough called atten tion to the fact that the postoffice is.

so small tha the co-operation of the business men of the city is necessary for the prompt and efficient handling of the mail. Here is the postmaster's letter to the business men of Oakland "We are trying to give the bets possible service in the Oakland post-office. Will you help us and incidentally help yourself? A small effort on your part as a modern business corncern means so much in tho aggregate for us in the conservation and equal distribution of unnecessary labor. "An average of 100,000 letters a day passes through the outgoing section of this office and tho first of the month about 160,000 letters are canceled. There are 22 trains, all carrying mail, leaving this city between 10:30 a.

m. and p. so In carrying out this proposed plan you become the beneficiaries and an otherwise tremendous task is simplified by uniform handling of the mail throughout the day. "Practically all the business mall of Oakland now reaches the post-office between the hours of 4 p. m.

and 8 p. rtw Twenty-four hours of work haa to be crowded into half that time. On the other hand, if mail is deposited in the boxes or brought to the postoffice continuously during the day, all the trains could be fully employed, as well as the cterks in the niain office, and the business public would secure the delivery of its mail many hours earlier than at present. "We are aware that it is a difficult I thing to change the fixed and settled I habits of business houses, but, when the benefits alike, to the public and the postoffice are so obvious, old habits must give way to the pressure of new conditions, ander, Robert Roos, Dr. Mariana Bertola and Judge Wilbur.

Playground officials and University of California experts will consulted as to the possible details of the pa geant, and then the civic organiza-i tlona may be asked to participate. 1 The idea of the pageant followed I the news that Edwin Markham.

Herrick of the board. "It could not ojply be made for Oakland but for everybody. A festival overlooking1 the bay, the Golden Gate, and all this vast country would be a matter to arouse nation-wide interest." "Of course the plan is only tentative." says Dr. S. II.

Buteau. "and It depends upon the initial interest. If the people want the pageant we are eager to start the enterprise. Suggestions will be welcomed. We are sure, however, that such a magnificent spot will draw the attention of people from all over." The hoard yesterday communicated with Samuel Hume of the University of California to get his opinion.

The pageant, it is admitted, also depends upon the acquiescence of Edwin Markham. Efforts will be made immediately to see if the great poet can be induced to come. As an index to the popularity of the Joaquin Miller park, the park board yesterday received a petition with 414 signatures, asking for a drinking fountain there. Of the petitioners, many come from Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even from Waverly, and New "Rochelle, N. J.

City Council will be requested for fundH in the coming budget to care for the drinking fountain. The park directors also decided to ask for $25,000 in the coming budget to complete the band stand in Lake-aide park. The band stand has cost (43,681 so far, and the final amount will finish the roof and all the other necessary parts.

"There Is no place in this country for people with a dual allegiance." This was declaration of Buron n.

Fitts, commander of the Amerl can Legion, department of California, last night at a Joint meeting of the American Legion posts of Alameda county at the clubrooms of Oakland Tost No. 5. "Those people are not Americans and never can become Americans. I refer particularly to the Japanese. They are loyal to their own country and claim allegiance to this country.

By reason of their dual allegiance we have no place for them here and under no circumstances can we. make a place for them." LKGlSIiATlON RKVIIWED. I-'itts reviewed the work of the state legislature and spoke at length on the various bills passed for the benefit of ex-service men. He painted a picture of the battlefield, of the graves that it left in its wake to illustrate the principles for which the war was fought. "It is because of these tremendous sacrifices wo made and of the principle for which we went to war that the American Legion can not and will not tolerate radicalism and I.

W. W'lsm In this country. We will fight it to the last ditch as we fought the enemy on foreign lands, and we'll fight hard." In discussing the labor question a It affects the Legion, Fitts said: "The American Legion stands absolutely neutral in disputes between capital and labor. Our ranks represent both. At our meetings, bank ers, millionaires, brick layers and common workmen meet in a common cause.

They are ex-service men, members of the Legion, and therefore the same comradeship that existed during the war is yet in existence within the ranks of the Legion. There Is no other body of men in the world that is composed of every class and every creed. It is hard to believe by some, vet it is true."
