SAYS GAMBLING is CAUSE
OF BIG INCREASE IN CRIME

'What Happened Last Week." A
prelude to the sermon under this head
ing is given by Robert j. Burdette at

church. 1t is five-minute comment
on some current event. Last night he
said: 1--WE have been pleading with the
president of the United States to keep
the fleet on this coast for our protec-
ton against the peaceful and friendly
Japanese, who have no intention of in
vading our land save to the develop
ment of rich strawberry grounds which
the white man said could not be culti-
waited unless the government irrigated
them and put up houses for the settlers
and placed q high protective tar1n
against the Siberian strawberry mar
ket in December. Last week, without
a protest on the part of our law-mak-
ers and not much On the part or the
citizens, an old enemy occupied Area

munity than the entire Japanese ma

has committed murder in peaceful

TN HE Woman's Symphony orchestra,
Harley Hamilton, conductor, will
Il give its first public concert this
season in Simpson auditorium tomor-
row night, and with the orchestra, as
soloist, will appear Adela Verne,
pianist.
The woman's orchestra has MEM
bership of fifty-eight and is the biggest
organization of It's kind in the world.
Besides Mrs. de frame, 1t is claimed,
there is only one other woman bassoon
player in the United States, and out of
five women oboe-ists living in this
same territory, Los Angeles has three
and the Woman's Symphony orchestra
two.
Arthur Hartmann's commentator is
evidence of the standing of the orches-
ira among musicians After spending
an hour at a rehearsal last week, Hart
mann said that it's efficiency was one
of the great musical surprises of his
life-that he had travelled over all the
world and knew of no other such or
ganization.
AS a courtesy to Mr.. Hamilton and
the other musicians, and that they
might have the benefit of the rehearsal,
Rudolph Friml, the Bohemian pianist
and composer, played at last Tuesday
rehearsal the Grieg concerto that Miss
Verne is to play with the orchestra to-
morrow evening. The compliment Is
obvious
Los Angeles has not only every rea-
son to be proud of this orchestra.
which for seventeen years has played
under the baton of Harley Hamilton,
but the music lovers Of the city owe
the organization debt which they
should take this opportunity to repay
