Hatfield TO Go to Kansas
Hatfield says that as soon as he OBJ
tains his eighteen inches of rain in Los
Angeles he is going to Kansas at the
request of scientists there. to inves-
tlgate conditions and prospects. Mr..
Hatfield is happy in the surety that
he has brought already more than Il
half Of the required eighteen inches of
moisture. To him, one of the most con-
vlncing signs that he has been instru-
mental in bringing the recent rains is
the fact that he has had several more
showers on his foothills than have
either Pasadena or Los Angeles. Four
good showers have fallen at Esperanza
since yesterday morning, and in the
past month fully a dozen have been
counted at the experiment station, more
than were known elsewhere.
Hatfield cheerfully| says that more
rain is coming. He predicts heavy rain

All Pasadena Defeats Sherman
Exciting indeed was the basket bail
game between the sutton team of this
city and the Sherman Indian girls. But
the home team beat by the score Of
27 to 16. There was an enthusiastic
crowd both within and without the
court. The applause went impartially
to either side when good points were
made. The visitors showed ability for
extra quick work on the part of the
guards, while the Pasadena girls did
excellent all around work.
The Sherman girls were met upon
their arrival by the Sutton sisters and
taken out to the Sutton home for
luncheon. They left Immediately after
the game for the institute.

City Without Sunday Closing Law
A strange state of affairs has been
disclosed by the recent discussion over
the opening of the variety theater in
this city. Pasadena absolutely has no
ordinance upon the subject of Sunday
closing. Just why this is so no one
seems to know Some of the free
holders who aided in drawing up the
charter few years since say that any
laws upon the subject would not stand
the test of court decisions in this state,
and for that reason no attempt was
made when the charter was framed.
1t was with something of shock that
it has been learned this week that
there is no legal opposition to pool
rooms or theaters being open on Sun
day. The state has no Sunday laws,
but supreme court decisions have been
made on the question in several cases.
Lincoln Commemoration

tury club of this city there will be held

composed of Judge Waldo NJ. York,
Jacob H. Freeman and Fitz e. Beach.
