Birds of the Coast
Bird lovers and members and friends
OF the Audubon society are greatly in
terested in a stereopticon lecture to be
given Wednesday evening in the as
sembly room of Throop by Prof. Will
lam Lowell Finley of Portland, Oregon.
The subject of the lecture is to be, "The
Birds of the Coast" Mr.. Finley, with
his friend and co-worker, H. T. Bohl-
man, are giving their entire time to the
exhaustive study of bird life. They are
in Southern California for this purpose,
and have just completed making
number of fine water-color plates at
Santa Monica of sea birds. Their col
lection of over a thousand of these
plates forms as remarkable and valua-
BILE a gathering of such scientific pic
lures as is owned by any individuals
Both Mr. Finley and Mr.. Bohlman talk
entertainingly of their work with birds,
and many are the fascinating stories of
bird life and ways. Here in Pasadena
they have found firm friends in Mrs.
Elizabeth Grinnell and her son, Prof.
Joseph Grinnell, who also are scientific
experts upon the birds of Southern
California 1t is expected that there
will be large audience to welcome the
Young naturalists at the lecture.
Relatives of Jap to Bring Suit
Letters of administration have been
granted in the estate of Kikujiro Higa-
shiyama the then unknown Jap who
was killed in the collision between two
electric cars on Tournament of Roses
morning, and it is now announced that
the relatives will bring suit against the
Pacific Electric railway for damages.
The estate is said to amount to but
S100, but the introduction of the dam
age suit brings into the estate an un-
certain quantity. Members of the i'm
mediate family of the deceased in ia
pan are the father and mother, Hell
chichi Higashiyama and Taxi Higash-
iyama of Ikeda, Japan.
Humane Society Cares for Dogs
The old troublesome problem of
stray dogs and the dog catcher are be-
ing solved most happily by the HUI
name society. With but a small
amount of money on hand, the work
of caring for the many stray dogs has
been handled in a thoroughly unique
ported at headquarters of the society
an effort is made to find a home for
the animal, and in this way good
homes have been found for dozens of
CANNES, in most cases where good dogs
were really desired. An occasional ad-
vertisement in one of the local papers
calls attention to the fact that a dog
of special breed is at the Humane
Home for adoption. Invariably there
is speedy demand for the animal and
by carefully following this method for
the past few months, practically all of
the stray and unlicensed dogs have
been given good homes, the new own
ers usually taking out licenses for
their pets. The system has done away
almost entirely with the dog catcher's
business.
