TWO-MINUTE MARGIN TO SUNSET WINS CASE FOR ILLINOIS AUTOIST Weather Chart, Almanac, Clippings and Sextant Finally Convince Evanston Police. By the Associated Press. EVANSTON, Il March 7.—It took a weather chart, an almanac, newspaper clippings and a sextant to turn the trick, but J. F. Keeler succeeded where others invariably have. failed. He per- suaded the police that they were wrong! Keeler entered the police station with a ticket for parking his automobile with- out lights. He also had a sheaf of docu- ments from which he explained to the amazed officers: 1. Sunset on the day he was arrested was at 5:44 pm. 2. The traffic police- man’s ticket for the alleged offense was timed 6:42. 3. Evanston ordinances provide that no matter how dark it may be, lights are not required until an hour after sunset. Hence: He still had two minutes in which to turn on his lights. KILLING OF APACHES IN BATTLE IS TOLD Ranchers Attack Sonmora Ma- rauders, Who Flee to Caves. By the Associated Press.

An appeal for the teaching of appre- ciation of the benefits and advantages of the United States Government, as compared with those of other civic regimes, to Washington school children is contained in a letter just sent by George J. Jones, head of the history department, to the social science teach- ers in the school system. Mr. Jones letter is one of the first definite steps school authorities have taken to combat gommnnllm among school children ere. Declaring that “the republican insti- tutions came to us and have been s2- cured for us at at great cost,” Mr. Jones asserts that “we accept liberty very | much as a matter of course in the | same unthinking and unquestioning | spirit in which we enjoy the sunshine | and the air.” He says in his letter that | the sacrifices which other men made for American rights now comprise the heritage of the United States, and con- tinues: “There is always the danger that some may not appreciate their liber- ties. This Government we have is ours to keep and preserve. It is the special duty of social science teachers to in- spire pupils with faith in this Govern- ment, and also to install in their minds an understanding that success in re- publican government depends upon an alert, active and intelligent citizenship. Students-in- the junior and senior high schools should acquire both” an under- standing of and a faith in republican institutions.” Mr. Jones asserts that since the men who established this Government had faith in its success, greater faith should be vested in it today, after nearly 150 years of unparalleled success. His let- ter concludes with: “Would it not be well to emphasize in our teaching the blessings and ad- vantages we enjoy today as compared with the turmoil, poverty and suffering | prevalent in other parts of the world?"” THREE CADETS NAMED.
