PASADENA, Jan. lin all the local
churches today there we're special SER
vices in honor Of the New Year, a num-
ber holding early ieayer meetings
which we're very generally well attend
ed. Throughout the city there was
special music, and in most cases the
sermons dealt with the New Year OPP
portunities. At the Catholic church
there were FIVE services, and other de-
nominations held extra meetings. AT
the North M. e. church this evening
Mrs. Whittemore, the founder OF the
Door of Hope missions throughout the
United states, delivered an address Of
unusual interest. Most Of the regular
pastors were In their pupits and the
many tourists I'm the city made all the
audiences large.
Senator Hahn Goes to Sacramento
Senator Benjamin Hahn left Friday
night for the north and will go di-
rectly to Sacramento. Mrs. Hahn did
not accompany her husband north, but
will follow later. Assemblyman Good
rich will also start north Immediately.
Tourists, Fruit and the Mails
Again has come the time OF special
temptation for the tourist to send some
Of the fine samples Of fresh fruit east
to his friends, and to send 1t through
the mails, where Uncle Sam has par
ticularly declared 1t must not go.
Green" fruits Of all description are de-
barred from the mails, but this does
not mean that ripe fruit can be sent,
as some interpret the law, but rather
that dried fruit can be sent ad libitum.
When it comes to smellish fresh fruit
that is tied up in a neat little parcel
to be sent through the local postoffice
G. w. Clark, who does the weighing
up at the stamp window, can outdo any
expert alive. All sorts and kinds of
fruit have been started east from this
point, even luscious, ripe Strawberries,
packed in trim little pasteboard box.
Just yesterday Postmaster Wood found
a box containing single big orange.
In consequence Of this last seizure the
old well-knowfl sign, to which the local
grammarians take exception, will once
more be placed in prominent positio
In the office. 1t reads as follows:
Oranges, lemons and other green fruit
is not mailable."
