TTNLESS you know person-unless that ~ person comes into your life in some way-you are not greatly concerned about whether he is good or bad, desirable or objeC tionable It's so with a store. The people who never visit it care nothing about it one way or the other. It doesn't eXist-for them. But-when they are pursuaded to patronize it-when they come to turn the spotlight of their attention on it-when 1t comes to have a part in their lives, as some stores must have in all ives-then it's differentiation it DOES matter whether it strives to win confidence; it does matter whether or not its price con- cessions are genuine, dependable.
 lit meets all tests that good store must stand when 1t is advertised-when it thus in- vites the critical attention of people-then advertising "makes" the store If it fails in most of the vital things-if it proves under the light of publicity, not to be much of store, then advertising will not pay-foT. it will emphasize shortcomings as well as merits.

SAYS HE WAS DRUNK WHEN
THEFT WAS COMMITTED
Cotton Youth Is Accused of Stealing
Watch, Rings and other
JeweIry

II. G. Brooks, a neat appearing
young man, with none of the charac-
teristics of the criminal. was given
his preliminary hearing before Police
Justice Williams yesterday afternoon
and held to anwer to the superior
court in bonds of $4,000. Brooks is ac-
cused Of entering the room of Mrs. o.
M. Swartz at the Natick house several
nights ago and stealing a valuable
gold watch, a diamond ring and sew
eral other articles of jewelry
Detective Beaumont testified that he
recovered the stolen articles from the
pawnshop of G. Meyer on East First
street and told of an alleged confess
sion made by Brooks.
The accused made no statement, but
at the conclusion of the hearing ex-
planned the circumstances of the theft
to Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Keetch and declared that 1t was the
first time he had committed a criminal
act. Brooks declared that he was
drunk at the time and did not realize
what he was doing.
1t is likely that Brooks will plead
guilty to the charge in the superior
court and file an application for pro-
baton. The young man came to Los
Angeles a short time ago from Cotton,
where he was employed at the large
ice plant which is being erected at that

COMPLAINANT WILL NOT PUSH
CHECK CHARGES
MAN WHO MADE ACCUSATIONS
DEFENDED BY ACCUSED
Present Case Revival of Previous Diff
flculty in Which Young Attor-
ney Fsured-No Evil
dence offered

Blaine Taylor, a young attorney,
who was arrested Tuesday night on
charges of passing fictitious checks.
was released from custody yesterday
afternoon because of insufficient evil
dence against him to warrant the is
suance of a complaint.
When f. r. Hawley, who inst1gated
the arrest, appeared at the deputy dis
trict attorneys office at the central
police station yesterday it was learned
that a complaint was wanted for a
matter that mad been settled last jan
uary when Taylor was arrested for
passing a worthless check and later
released when the amount to cover the
check was paid.
While it appears to the deputy dis
trict attorneys who investigated the
matter that there is something that has
not been divulged and there is more to
the arrest of Taylor than appears on
the surface
Complications have appeared in the
case. When Taylor was arrested in
January Hawley is said to have been
instrumental in settling the matter.
Later Hawley, who is an insurance
man. was arrested for embezzling
diamond ring from a young woman
and held to answer to the superior
court. w IGn lilG IrlSC was DAOhSAAN ~
trial Taylor defended Hawley and OBJ
tanned his release on probation.
Why Hawley should seek to prose-
cute the man who defended him is not
known, and when he could find no
other evidence than the check affair
which had been settled months ago the
deputy district attorneys refused to
issue a complaint.
When seen in the city jail shortly
before his release Taylor stated that
he was surprised at the turn of affairs
and could give no reason why HaWley
wished TO prosecute him.
Taylor Explains
81 admit that have passed a num-
Der of worthless checks said Taylor,
but it was only when 1 was drunk. I
frequently had money in the bank and
would issue checks for more than I
had on deposit. On all occasions that
the checks were issued when 1 did not
have money to cover them / was
drunk When I got sober 1 would get
the money and make the checks good"
Taylor stated that the amounts of
the checks were small and that in no
case did he owe more than hundred
dollars.
Late yesterday afternoon, when
Kawley failed to appear with sufficient
evidence to warrant the issuance of
complaint against the young attorney,
Taylor was ordered released from Jail.

Office Building

One Of the largest sales made in close
in property in some time was consum-
mated yesterday when a lot and Of
flee building on Spring street, between
Third and Fourth, passed to William
Garland for a consideration of about
$4,000.
Lee A. Mcconnell & Co. sold the

tween Third and Fourth.
The lot is improved with a three

The property was purchased for an
investment. AS the purchaser owns
the adjoining property this will give

He has in mind, when the present
lease expires, which will be in about
four years from now, the erection of
large office building. The 92 feet
gives him plenty Of space for light and
