Mr. Jameson had just returned from an evening of entertainment when he noticed that smoke was seeping through the floors of the basement corridors. Deducing immediately that there was a serious fire, he shouted at the top of his lungs, threw his body against all the locked doors, and ran out of the building.

They hurried safely into the street and no in- juries were recorded. The blaze had been start- ed by overheating the furn- ace. Lawrence D. Moe, manager of the hotel, stat- ed that this had been done for the comfort of the pat- rons, who complained of the cold. The Los Angeles Fire Department quickly extin- guished the fire, and the guests returned to. their rooms. Among those who escaped possible injury by the timely intervention of Howard Jameson, were: Miss Lena Armanasco— State Assemblywoman and well-known leader in wom- en’s circles throughout the country. Miss Helen Brecko— President of the National Society for the Advance-| ment of the Left-handed. Miss Lena Ceridono— | Woman mayor of El Cerri- | to, Calif., and ex-United | States Senator. Miss Lois Deatsch—Vice- | president of the National | Society for the Prevention of Late Hours. Miss Mildred Dommes— Governor of Utah and | sponsor of the National Non-loafing Act. Miss Anna Grady—Mayor | of Seattle and founder of the California Anti-Ku Klux Klan Association. Miss Lorena Jones—Soci- ety leader of Detroit, Mich- igan, and former secretary | of Hidsel Ford. Miss Elsie Kerlin—Prin- cipal of Berkeley High School and a nationally | known educator. Crowd Gives Rousing Send-Off to Teachers The “Owl” train pulled out of Richmond § station yesterday morning to the accompaniment of wild cheers and loud hurrahs. On the observation plat- form stood a group of smil- ing young high school} teachers, who had a right to be happy. They had be- fore them the prospect of a year’s travel, study and good time in Europe. Per- haps the young women re- gretted a little leaving Rich- mond and their friends, but it was easy to see that their | anticipation of pleasure in the ‘old countries’ out- weighed this feeling. The members of the party are: Miss Dorothy Clow, Miss Elizabeth MacDonald, Miss Naomi Mahnke, Miss! | ago. | young to play football, but | self early. | ston, Jr., is the biggest man | scholastic | have ever seen.

After the victory over Haywards last Saturday, 66-0, Coach Lawrence Hol- land of the Richmond High School was smiling opti- mistically yesterday. He has good reason to be proud of his formidable eleven this year, as they have not yet met defeat. In an inter- view at the school, Holland reviewed the material he has whipped into shape this season. “Tt is a funny thing that | most of my stars today are sons of men I played with in Richmond sixteen years They are all pretty their fathers have endowed them with a fighting spirit that was bound to show it- George John- I have on my team. He | measures about six feet two and hits the line pretty powerfully. Rob Fenix the second is one of the fastest quarterbacks I lin acts very well at half. Ned Villalovos is coming along fine in the backfield; he plays better football than his father did basketball. “T am very well satisfied | with the work my young- sters have done this year. We took Berkeley, Oak- land, Fremont, University, and all our other oppon- ents down the line in short order. At this rate I am very confident that we will win the State Championship this season.” Esther Malianni, Miss Mary Mann, Miss Dorothy Le- gault, Miss Kathleen Smith, Miss Kathryn Snodgrass and Miss Anna Lee.
