matter with the water in California.
In San Diego they say the water of
Los Angeles is poison, and Los Angeles
people say they have to boil the water
in San Diego to kill the cells, and to get
the moisture to rise to the top so they
can skim it off. The relations between !
Los Angeles and San Diego are like
IuOse between Kansas City and st. Joe.
The best place for cottagers in
southern California are the various
beaches near Los Angeles, or IN the
town along the kite-shaped track, or at
any uttle town down the coast or at
Catalina island. A typical little cottage

A beautiful little Swiss cottage is
here which was designed by Beatrice
Harradan, who wrote ''Ships That Pass
in the Night" Miss Harradan lived here
for some time and wrote some of her
later stories here. She was popular with
the people of the town and seems to

of Atehison should know that the auth

on calling "Stinky Wit" lived with a
! Polish colony a score of miles or so
north of here many years ago The
Poles were poet and painters and per
sons of the artistic temperament"
which indicates they We're cranky, mean
and lazy and they stood around look
ing at the ocean and the sunset and the
grass and the flowers and let the land
which was supposed to keep them go
to rack. They would have starved TO
death if the county hadn't stepped in.
They were shipped back to Poland and
poor Madame Modjesl<a who is a hard
working woman. and who founded the
colony had to go back on the stage after
she was old enough to quit, to pay the

moral of this story is to beware of the

who think Grand and Noble Thoughts.
