CAR AND WORK TRAIN
COME INTO COLLISION
PASSENGERS BADLY SHAKEN,
ONE SLIGHTLY BRUISED
Bad Accident on Sunset Boulevard at
North Figueroa Street AVerted
by Brakes Being Put on
Promptly

One man was slightly injured and a
score of passengers were badly shaken
up last night when southbound Ange-
leno Heights car No. 909 collided with
a work train at Sunset boulevard and
North Figueroa streets.
The motormen saw that a collision
was unavoidable, threw on the brakes
and brought their cars almost to a
standstill when they met. A mistake
in signals is supposed to have been the
cause.
The passengers were jostled about in
their seats, and one man who refused
to give his name was slightly bruised
about the body.

loaded with precious goods. her SAILS
outspread, on her decks men busy
with rigging and oars. Japanese
poem is also printed on 1t:
Ma ka XII 20 no,
To no ne fu ri no.
Mi ma ME sa me
Ma mi no ri fu ne no,
o to no 70 XII ka ma.
Translated roughly, this means:
After a sound sleep of long night,
Resting awake in bed,
hear a cheerful sound
Of sailing vessel
Gliding over the pillows.
The poem in translation loses its
power of calling up associations but
one can imagine himself living near
an inland sea, with its hooks, bays,
and offings, pine groves and plum
blossoms hanging over from the hllly
shores, the sun as yet below the hori-
zon. and in the mist he can discern a
vessel gliding, smoothly, leaving merry
songs of sailors behind to be carried
away by the spring breeze. This Is
considered an appropriate scenery 10
think over in the calm OF the spring
NIGHT, But this aesthetic association
is little appreciated by the masses.
They rather wonder at the clever con-
struction of this poem. that reads
inst alike from either end. Read from
the end and go back to the beginning,
syllable by syllable; you have just the
same result as if you read from the
beginning. -,
Now, what kind of dreams are the
best? First, Fugi mountain; second
EAGLE; third, eggplant; fourth, tuner
al: fifth, snakes-these are the nVe
best ones. To dream of the horse IS
also suspicious. If Japanese should
happen to dream he is quite blue over
the matter. These people, however,
are not without the means of getting
ont of this misfortune. They say when
thew had a bad dream: ITO the baku;
to the baku." Now they did not know
what "baku' was; they only knew
that this mysterious animal living in
a dreamy land lived on the dreams OF
man, and bad dreams were cast "
the baku. 1t was a shock to these old
fashioned people when their children
told them that the teacher of zoology
told the children that the baku is
hippopotamus and lived on substan-
tial green leaves, and not on dreams.
Such a revelation, though, cannot
change the superstition, and people
still say: ITO the baku," to relieve
their minds after bad dream.
There is a record in history which
shows that there was a custom once
of selling and buying dreams. Once
upon a time there was a prince in
a famous house. He was thinking to
court a maiden, and she had strange
dream, which she could not make out.
She called in the help of her eldest
sister. The latter, seeing the good
omen of the dream, offered to buy the
