FORD MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED
The chief characters in an unsolved mystery which is overshadowing the U. S. C. campus are a new Ford car and some university men whose names are not known. The car was taken from Venice without the consent or knowledge of the owner and was driven out on the old Topanga road where it was carefully taken apart. A five-line barbed wire fence was carefully taken down and the car body carried through the gap and up onto the top of a hill, where it was left dn full view of any passers by. The engine was cleaned and carried down toward the ocean. All the nuts and bolts were wiped dry of grease and were left in heaps, while the crank was carried out into the middte of a field and covered with a board.
Garage men who are reassembling the car say that not a piece of it is damaged or lost.

"Standing room only,” was the slogan on Tuesday morning in Bovard auditorium when the first assembly of the summer session was held. Bishop Adna Wright Leonard of San Francisco, who is leaving for other fields was the speaker of the morning.
Dr. von KleinSmid. greeting the students said, “We are always glad to greet students of the summer session. You meet men and women gathered together from-the four corners of the earth. I wish you might know how heartily we greet you. All we have is placed at you service. You, during your residence here will bestow blessings on us and your lea* ing us will mean blessings of faith and understanding.
It is a rare privilege to have visiting instructors frm\i other campuses. We know that they come sacrificing their vacation period hoping that they will not nave to work as hard as they have. They are anxious to crowd all into 6 weeks which makes their problems more difficult. We take pleasure in presenting them to you. This is « personal introduction of every instructor and every student. You are proud and stuck up if you do not speak to everyone.” Dr. von KleinSmid then presented the members of the visiting faculty individually.
“For the past 8 years the University of Southern California has had as President of its Board of Trustees, the speaker of the morning. During that period the institution has expanded beyond any expectations. This expansion was due to the governing body of the faculty and the loyal students. Before presenting the speaker I will present Dr. Bovaid. president of this institution for 18 years. I do not know of a man who has worked harder.’’
As speaker of the morning, Bishop Leonard said in part, “The world has very greatly changed since Jesus came.- It is not the same world that it was w’hen the Son of God walked the waves in the flesh and brushed shoulders with his fellows here on earth. He Himself declared that He was the Way, the Truth and the Light. He literally illuminates the complex problem of right. A very different conception this world has of God since Jesus came. No longer does it think of God as a monster sitting on a throne.
Jesus has given to us the conception that God is love, that the light of His teachings has been shed on the problems that confront us all. Three of five people in Rome in that day were slaves. Slavery is now destroyed. When Jesus came there was little conception of the value of the people. Governments were by the few and for the few. The teaching of Jesus Christ as a declaration declaring the worth of the individual and the rights of the individual. These great truths penetrate the whole order of the time.
We would resent any kind of propaganda that would come in any form whatsoever and would overturn any institution of democracy' although our democracy may not be perfect. Why we would resent them and disapprove of them—it is but the inclination of the birth of a better day; a day in which autocracy vanishes. We are moving toward a day of such equality that we may give to all the education that has hitherto been given to only a few. Jesus has shed light upon these problems and we are to go on for life and progress if life is to develop—if the coming generation is to be better.
