ADMIRAL R. D. EVANS WILL
DELIVER FAMOUS LECTURES

Admiral Robley D. Evans will give
his famous lecture on the tour of the
American battleship fleet from Hamp-
ton Roads to San Francisco bay at
Simpson auditorium tonight. He was
very anxious to meet the people of Los
Angeles when the vessels arrived, but
his health did not permit, and he comes
back more vigorous and with subject
that has awakened intense interest
among people on the Pacific coast.
The fact that Admiral Evans advo-
Gates large navy in the Pacific wa
ters, so that Uncle Sam may assume
the position of protector of the Pa
cific ocean, endears him to all coast
men and women, and the story he has
to tell is SO full of interest that those
who attend tonight will get a better
idea of the requirements of the Pacific
coast armament than they could obtain
in any other manner.
Admiral Evans is accompanied by
Mrs. Evans, and they are the recipients
OF many social functions during their
stay of week in Southern California.
Admiral Evans speaks at San Diego

IN LECTURE ON POMPElI
TELLS CAUSE OF TEMBL OBS

'Pompeii,S the City of the Dead" was
the topic of b. r. Baumgardt in
lecture before a large audience last
evening in Symphony hall. In this
lecture Mr.. Baumgardt took occasion
to give an interesting scientific de-
scription of earthquakes and their
causes.
Mr.. Baumgardt in very simple terms
set forth the fundamental principles
of the cooling process of the interior
of the earth, which thereby decreases
in size, while the earth's crust, which
is stationary, does not give with the
receding interior and thereby causes
friction, which gives vent in faults, or,
commonly called, earthquakes.
Little tunnels to give vent for the
interior friction was the manner in
which Mr.. Baumgardt described vol
canos, which he said were quite de-
sirable, as when VOLCANOES are in action
there is little danger of serious earth
quakes.
Mr.. Baumgardt said that from Cape
Horn to Alaska there is a range of
high mountains parallel with a deep
ocean, with comparatively narrow
strip of land between these UNEQUAL
quantities. This, according to the lee
turer. caused many of the earthquakes.
although he said that Los Angeles
was not in the danger belt
AT the close of his lecture on Pom
peii and Herculaneum Mr.. Baumgardt
showed interesting views of Messina
and the havoc of the recent earth
quake along the coast of Sicily.

Who Return Sacks to Exhibition
Grounds at Fiesta
Stadium

The novel spectacle of a balloon pick

a twenty-foot wall will be seen this
week at the Fiesta park stadium when
Dick Ferris American will be utilized
to carry the aeroplane of j. S. Zerbe
over the wall, grandstand and saucer
track of the stadium for exhibition at
the Aero clubs show. Mr.. Zerbe's aero
plane was disabled by the breaking of
the propeller shaft in a tryout at
Fiesta park, and since then has been
stored in barn in the corner of the
field not inclosed in the stadium.
The machines planes were too wide
to permit taking it in through any Of
the entrances, and Manager Leonard
of the Aero club was in a quandary as
to the method of getting 1t inside for
the exhibition. When he found that
Dick Ferris would loan the American
for captive trips Mr.. Leonard suggest
ed that the balloon be used after in
flation to lift the Zerbe aeroplane into
the Enclosure. AS the machine weighs
but $50 pounds, while the balloon can
lift 1900 pounds above its own weight,
this will not be a difficult task. After
imitation, which will be done as soon
as Captain Mueller can sew the bal
loon together, the American will be
towed to the barn and will be handled
as an derlai gray 10 I'LL the HEAVIER
than-air machine into the stadium,
with members of the Aero club hanging
to enough ropes to keep the American
from making back to its mountain
haunts.
The Aero club has constructed five
complete balloons, each with a capacity
of 5000 cubic feet, which will be filled
Tuesday and attached to the corners
of the stadium for advertising purposes.
One will be sent off each day up to
Saturday, the first day of the show,
and a reward will be offered to the
person returning any of them to Fiesta
park. One member of the club has Of
fered to attach a small basket to three
of these balloons and make a short
flight over the business section.

This list of men represent some of

financial affairs of Europe, stated that
the party was simply making a tour

big deal is expected, as it is rare that
such representative men journey for
pleasure only. But to all queries the
trip is to study irrigation projects

feminine attire and identity in the
character of George Fisher, a stock
broker, for the purpose of getting ms
friend, Frank Perry, otherwise known
as William Desmond, out of rather

Stockbridge, A. Byron peasley as
Hamilton Travers, a musical hall
usher, and John w. Burton, who as
Amos Bloodgood portrays the part of
an old man with a dark past.

Fidelity National bank, while George
Webb, another new acquisition, will

Their Mission Is to Supply the De-
mand for New Forests.
B. H. Green of Monterey, Cal. has
sent out circular giving information
regarding the Tin Can clubs through
whose beneficient activities he expects
to see the country supplied with need
ed forests.
The attempt to cultivate tree claims
in the Dakotas many years ago were
rather discouraging, says the National
Magazine. but Mr.. Green insists that
he has been successful in planting
tree seeds, nuts and cuttings in refuse
tin cans. and can now show an oak
tree twenty feet high only eight years
of age and also a redwood tree. grown
from seed, which is now fully thirty
feet high and only twelve years Of
age.
Mr.. Green insists that a tomato can
with a fair sized hole punched In the
bottom and filed with good earth is
just the thing needed to start tree In
and that if the earth is never allowed
to become dry the growth OF the young
tree will be amazing. Later the little
trees are transplanted without remov-
ing from the cans, for the rust eats
away the can sufficiently to allow the
roots to free themselves as they need
more room.

ADVICE TO KNOCKERS
Words of Wisdom Which II fol-
lowed Would Help Any Town
in The United States

The following advice is from an ex-
change, and if followed would help
any town at any and alltimes:
eff there is chance to boom bust
ness, boom it. Don't be knocker.
Don't pull long face. Hope a bit.
Get smile on you. Hold up your
head. Get firm hold with both hands
then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop
your tomahawk. Hide your little ham,
mer. When stranger drops in tell
him this is the greatest town on
earth. 1t is. Don't get mulish. Don't
roast. Be jolly. Get popular. It's
dead easy. Push yourself along. Help
your friend with you. Soon you will
have a whole procession. Be good
fellow.
"No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down. No man
ever got rich trying to make people
believe that he was the only good
man on earth. You can't climb the
ladder of fame by stepping on other
peoples corns, not yours. And they're
tender. Keep off the corns.
CAN men are not alike. Once in a
while you may find some who are
very much alike. But some are diff.
ferent. You are not the only shirt
in the wash. If you don't like their
style let 'em alone. You will get us.
ed to it. There's no end of fun in
minding your own business. And it
makes other people like you better.
Better to have other people get stuck
on you than to get stuck on yourself.
Nobody gets stuck on knocker.
Don't be one. Be gOOd".
