A Business Asset.

The owner Of the only red brick
building in downtown block of gray
buildings decided to paint his building
the prevailing tone. Without previous
announcement of his intention to the
tenants he sent the painters around on
Monday morning to begin work. When
the tenants learned his purpose, a
mighty howl was raised by them.
"Change the color of this building,
they exclaimed. "Why, this vivid red
Is one CT our best business assets II
helps to locate us. Being the only red
building in the neighborhood. II sticks
in the minds of people who can't re-
member the number. but who can di-
rect others to us Just because we are
doing business in red house. We have
stayed here all these years on account
of the conspicuous color. If that is
changed, we shall move"
The owner listened to these plants
patiently. Then he went ahead and
painted the building, but he painted it
still brighter red.-New York Press

whether the free delivery service can
not be granted, since you have complied

advise you as soon as / hear from the
department in reply, and will also take
the matter up in person when 1 reach

&C. B. Irvine, Secretary Board of
Trade: Yours containing resolutions
passed by the board of trade was duly

this action, and hope 1t Will induce the
powers that be to get move on them.
I have constantly worked for free de-
livery for Santa Monica since the time
that she was entitled to it under the
rules regulating such matters. have
publicly and repeatedly contended that
you were entitled to it, and have never
seen any good reason why it should
have been delayed thus long. I have
so expressed myself in the department
at Washington, and have urged that
this request be granted. have reason
to believe that 1t will be granted with

background of intensely black clouds.
It's base, in appearance about sixty
feet in diameter, seemed to plow the
surface of the ocean into a huge fur
row and it's fury created enormous
waves which seethed and churned in
the trail of the monster for thirty min
utes after the passing of the giant phe-
nomenon.
Gathered about the column as it adj
yanced were other smaller and less vio-
lent spouts which added their force TO
the general disturbance.
At the time of the upheaval Catalina
island could be clearly seen in the
background. standing out, from sky
as clear as crystal, which was finally
obscured by the storm cloud in it's adj
vance toward the southwest.
AS far as can be ascertained there
has been but one other such disturb
ance within late years and that, 1t is
stated. was a small affair beside that
of today.

CURRENT BILLS AT
LOCAL PLAYHOUSES

AUDITORIUM-Lewi S. Stone and
his associate players at the Auditorium
will continue the policy of presenting
famous successes of the American
stage next week when Mrs. Fiske's great
triumph, Leah kleschna," will be the
offering. Mrs. Fiske made this virile
play first known to the treatergoers of
Los Angeles at Hazards pavilion Just
before that structure gave way to the
present beautiful Auditorium theater.
The part of Leah will afford Florence
Oakley another brilliant opportunity
for effective acting, and persons who
are familiar with the abilities of the
leading lady of the Stone organization
can easily figure her achieving another
distinct success in the part made
famous by Mrs. Fiske.
Mr.. Stone will have the part of Paul
Sylvaine, originally played by John
Mason. George Farren will have his
first real local opportunity as Kleschna,
an Austrian criminal known as Mon
sieur GARNER; Howard Scott will APP
pear in the George Arliss role of Raoul
Berton; Bennett Southland will be seen
as Schram, played by William Mack
