WILL ABATE MOSQUITO
PLAGUE AT OCEAN PARK
Property Owners to Coat Surface of
Slough with Crude Petro-
Leum

OCEAN PARK, April 25.-Property
owners are taking steps to abate the
plague OF mosquitoes which has settled
on the community within the last few
months. During the coming week the
surface of Balonna slough will be coat
ed with crude petroleum for the pur-
pose of killing the larvae, and it is
thought that this will effectually break
up the breeding places of the pests.
The principal cause of the invasion
is thought to be the closing of the
channel between the ocean and the
lagoons at Playa del Rey. The storms
have blocked the entrance at that
point with sand and the water in the
lakes has become purified of the salt
and a breeding place of the mosquitoes.
Men are working on the channel and
will have a passageway cleared within
a short time so that salt water will
take the place of that at present in
the lagoons and the nuisance will
cease.

LIFE SAVER COMES TO AID
OF SWIMMER JUST IN TIME

LONG BEACH, April 25.-The first
rescue work done in the surf by the
lfesaving department of the Bath
House company was the means this
afternoon of preventing John Shetlin,
q years old, from being battered among
the cylinders supporting the pier and
probably being severely injured if not
drowned.
Shetlin had been in the surf for some
time and having become somewhat eX-
hausted was gradually carried east
ward toward the pier by the cross
current.
The life guard, George Falla, saw
that the man was in a weakened con-
dition and started out to help him be-
fore Shetlin had made any signal that
he wanted assistance. Falla helped
him get out of the deeper water and
into shallow surf. When he helped
him out far enough that he was able
to walk on the beach, people sitting on
the sand saw that Shetlin's muscles
were twitching convulsively. The life
guards help evidently had been prof
fered just in time

FAVOR ELECTROLlERS TO ARC

PASADENA, April 25.-Business men
of South Pasadena, now that the sub
ject of arranging a new lighting sys-
tenn for the principal business street
of that city, Mission road, is under
consideration, are talking of the sub
stitution of electrolers for the arc
lights which it has been planned to
install. There is but little question
that the arc light service would be the
cheaper of the two, but the business
men of the city are anxious that the
city should present as up to-date an
appearance as possible, and the cleo
troliers may be the result. A report
on the general sentiment will probably
be made TO the board of trustees Mon

OBJECT TO LIQUOR ADS IN
BOOK OF W0MEMS CLUBS

PASADENA, April 5.-Resolutions
have been passed by the Washington
Heights club, a women's organization
denouncing the methods used by the
State Federation of Womens Clubs to
secure funds for the publication of it's
year book, an annual publication. The
particular objection which started the
discussion leading up to the passage
of the resolution is that many of the
advertisements in the annual publica-
ton are those of various liquors and
liquor houses. The Pasadena club is
strongly opposed to such sources of
revenue, and its delegate to the state
convention to be held at Del Monte
May 10 will be instructed to take the
matter up with all vigor and protest
against allowing liquor advertisements
to appear in the year book. Delegates
to this convention will be selected at
the next meeting of the club.

JACK RABBIT KILLED
WITH MONKEY WRENCH
NIMR0DS IN PASADENA USE
AUTOMOBILE
Center Headlight on Came linen
Knock Animals Down with Con-
tents of Tool Chest-Hunt-
ing Is Good


PASADENA. April 25.-It may be
possible that the hunters of Southern
California. having tried coursing shot
gun. rifle and all other methods lhey
could think of to catch the gay ana
festive jackrabbit, may think the sport
is exhausted, Not so. 1t has Deen leII
for Alpha e. Lifts and Percy Heldner
Of Pasadena to demonstrate the tallacy
of this reasoning.
The latest method of hunting jack
rabbits is with monkey wrench. from
the seat of a high-poWer automobile III
the exclusive Orange Grove avenue sec
tim.
It may be news to the residents OF
Millionaires' Row that their lawns
and the street itself every night are
the feeding grounds of scores of big,
husky Jacks from the Arroyo Seco, yet
such is the case. Lifts and He1dner,
who have occasion to travel that route
in their high-power cars rather ire
ulently, discovered the fact and from
the discovery evolved the plan by
which they are able to eat rabbits
caught in the city limits without rem
dering themselves liable to an arrest
and fine for discharging firearms
within the city limits.
The plan is simple one The own
erS OF the automoblle, winch Inusl NC
equipped with a big searchlight in Or
der to get good results, HES him to
South Orange Grove avenue and runs
slowly down the street. The jacks are
found almost anywhere, and once CEN
tered in the glare of the searchlight,
the Jack seems to lose what little sense
he was endowed with at birth. The
minute the light hits him, up sits Mr..
Jack. With that. the steersman of the
machine goes slowly ahead with as lit
tie noise as possible, and when within
striking distance, Heidner, who is the
crack shot of the party, rises swiftly
and throws a monkey wrench. The two
men have been averaging five jacks a
night on their unique hunting trips,
which do not last more than an hour.
