He went and set down and stepped out O. the

M'ALEER CHIEF BUT
DRAWS NO SALARY
Captain AubIe Does the Work, but
Who Draws the Salary of
the Office?

Mayor McAleer is patterning after
the grand monarch, Louis XIV of
France. He has not yet reached the
point where he may say "the city is
mine," including the library board,
Miss Jones, the fire police commission
and the board of public works, but he
has started well.
1.-THE chief of police. I am the chief
of police" he said yesterday After
me the police commission. They will
act in two or three weeks"
what is your salary?" he was asked.
"Chief Hammel was not induced to
resign by your offer to work for less,
was he?"
Hardly" replied the mayor, clink-
ing a couple of quarters in his pocket.
"Confidentially, I am not getting any
thing at ALL Nothing but the mayors
salary for me and that is not enough
to permit me to indulge largely in
charities"
The question is therefore settled.
Mayor McAleer is chief of police, Capt.

SUNSHADES ARE USED
TO PROTECT FLOWERS
Hollywood Citizen Utllizes Ornament
for Practical Service to
His Plants

Sunshades for human beings, and
even for horses, are not rare, but their
use for flowers Is novelty that was
left for Hollywood to bring to notice.
Yet, that they have a use in that way,
the last few days have demonstrated.
After long, cool summer, the re-
cent hot spell was especially trying on
flowers, particularly potted ones. In
front of a fine home in Hollywood are
several large vases filled with Towering
plants The simeon which swept in
last week threatened the early extinc-
ton of these flowers and their owner
was at loss to save them.
Then he hit on the sunshade idea. 1t
was carried out and it worked per-
fectly. Umbrellas of the Japanese sort
were stuck into the earth in the vases
and shifted with the sun. They allowed
plenty of sunlight, but moderated the
fierceness of it's rays. The conse-
quence is that these particular vases
are things of beauty where neighboring
ones are all dried up.
The same umbrellas have been saved,
since it turned cooler, either for like
emergency or till frost time, when they
will be put to use again.

RECOMMENDS PRESCOTT
TO SUCCEED CROOKSHANK
SENATOR FLINT GIVES SUPPORT
TO FORMER SPEAKER
San Bernardino Citizen Secures In-
dorsement Which Is Expected to
Obtain for Him Appointment as
Registrar of U. s. Land Office

Frank c. Prescott of Redlands has
been recommended by United States
Senator Flint for the position of regis
trar of the United States land office at
Los Angeles to succeed A. j. Crook
shank. The recommendation is said
to be almost equivalent to the appoint
ment.
Registrar Crookshank's resignation
will take effect as soon as his success
sor is appointed, when he will go to
Santa Ana to assume the position of
president of the First National bank of
that city to succeed his father. Reg
istrar Crookshank has held his present
office for seven years.
Gen. Frank Prescott, for the past
several years has been a prominent
figure in the politics of San Bernardino
county and has entered into the larger
political life of the state as well.
He saw service in the Philippines,
first serving in the army as a soldier,
later in a judicial position when the
islands were under military law.
After his return to California he was
appointed by Governor Pardee to fill
an unexpired term in the militia as
brigadier general. At the last session
of the legislature he served as speaker
of the assembly and contributed much
to the election of Frank Flint to the
United States senate.

LACK OF MONEY PREVENTS
PURCHASE OF RARE WORK
LIBRARY BOARD EMBARRASSED
BY POVERTY
Cannot Avail Itself of Opportunity to
Secure Audubon's First Edition of
"Blrds of America" Practically
Out Of Print

With no money and the opportunity
Of purchasing a rare first edition of
Audubon's Birds of America" at a
cost of $500 the library board will be
pleased to meet any person who cares
to buy the volumes and present them
to the public library.
In the past there have been so few
donors that four library directors will
probably drop dead from heart disease
should some philanthropist offer his
services in this emergency.
The set consists of seven morocco
bound volumes containing 500 plates
from drawings made by Audubon and
IL in perfect condition. 1t Is doubly
valuable in that it was the property
of Boardman, the famous Maine nat
uralist, the offer of sale coming from
one of his heirs.
The edition has been out of print for
many years and is exceedingly scarce.
When the proposition to purchase the
set was brought before the library
board Thursday night Director Rodman
said that If the library would take the
volumes at this time. if it wished to
sell them a year hence at the original
price he would be pleased to purchase
them. This did not influence the board
to act.
The library now contains a portion
of the set of a later issue, illustrated
with 100 plates and valued at $3.50.
