ASSOCIATED PRESS
EXTENDS BUSINESS
LOCAL BRANCH OF NEWS SER
ICE SHOWS GROWTH
Western Division Superintendent
States Aviation Week Was Great
Publicity Promoter for
Los Angeles

So great has been the increase in
the amount of news handled by the
Associated Press in Los Angeles that
it has sent Charles r. Kloeber, super
intendent of it's western division, here
with the object of looking for larger
quarters in which to establish a big
branch of the great news service in
this city. Mr.. Kloeber states the
business of the Los Angeles office has
assumed immense proportions and has
opened the eyes of the management
to its Importance.
In five years. said Mr. Kloeber,
1.-THE amount of news handled from
the wires of this city has more than
doubled. This office furnishes news
for twenty-five papers. Five years
ago it was a bureau. Today it is, with
San Francisco, the most important
news center west of Chicago. At the
time of Paulhan's great height flight
the Associated Press people in Los
Angeles had the news flashing on it's
way to Paris eight minutes after he
had touched the ground
Aviation week was a great adver-
tiser for Los Angeles and centered the
eyes of the world upon her. France
took as great an interest in the event
as America. The Associated Press
sent 5000 words every day out of the
Los Angeles office heralding the doings
of the aViators.''

POLICE DOG, FATHER OF

Overabundance Causes Canine "One
of the Finest" to Act

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-If Max had
only behaved as newly made Brook
lyn father should-that Is, with due
decorum-he would be receiving with
becoming modesty the congratulations
of his friends and Police Captain
George Farr of the Parkville station
would be a happier man. As the mat
ter stands, Max must answer serious
charges and Captain Farr is greatly
worried.
Lady who with Max makes up the
best team of the six police dogs at
tached to the Parkville station, gave
birth to thirteen pups. The oyerabun-
dance of fatherhood which came to
him proved too much for Max.
Shortly after he had heard the glad
some tidings he was seen with his
head close to that of his particular
chum, Jim. A little later the two We're
missed and did not reappear until 6
o'clock. Then, sad to say, MaX's con-
dition was such that Captain Farr,
much as he disliked to do so under the
circumstances, was forced to arrest
him.
81 can't say I blame the dog ex-
actly," said the captain, sorrowfully,
but police discipline must be main
tanned. I might have overlooked the
offense If Max had only come in quiet
ly, but he didn't He made such a
hullaballoo over being the father of
thirteen that every one noticed his con-
dition."
Donna. another of the dogs, must

when she gave him the slip and was
seen no more until yesterday, when
she was found leaving an ice cream

recommendation and denied the permit.
Again Lang applied for permit for
the same location and attached to 1t
a petition bearing 400 signatures. This
petition was turned over to the police

were turned over to acting Chief Dixon
to investigate and determine the cause

~ afternoon l.. Z. Behymer, i'm
presario, delivered his address entitled
"Reminiscences of Musical and Ora
matte Celebrities" a subject on which

clubs. the Sacramento Music club ana
the Spinet club of Redlands, little being
done without their cooperation.
How Lew Wallace was persuaded TO

advocated d committee for each club
whose duty should be to welcome

citation in the community.
A pleasing feature of the afternoon
was the piano solo played by Alfred
AttIing Butler before the lecture.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

''Mr- L. lived there" pointed out the
lady with yhom I was driving. you
didn't know him? Why, he was a
real prominent man. When he died
saw The flowers were something
magnificent. There must have been
three or four hundred dollars worth.
1t was a grand funeral. I wouldn't
have missed it for anything
/ With difficulty ETre pressed a. SMILE.
And then a sigh.
, Even into the valley of the shadow
we carry the ceremony, the ostenta-
ton, and the money attitude of the
world.
/ think our fashionable weddings,
to which we bid, not those few whom
we really love and who love us, and
to whom such an occasion really be-
longs, but all the curious gaping
crowd of our acquaintance, who came
as they would go to a play or any
other spectacle, are bad enough, but
to have funerals on the same plane is
even worse.
Eyes, Harry had terrible time to
get away from business-you know it
their very busiest season-but 1 told
him we simply had to go to Mr.. r. s
funeral. What would Mrs. r. think
if we didn't" a woman said to me the
other day.
What an insult to the dead man to
carry formality and punctiiousness and
ceremony even to the edge of his
grave.
1 have written before of the cruelty
and uselesSneSS of the average funeral
service, narrowing feelings already
narrowed almost past endurance, and
doing no one any possible good.
Today 1 protest especially against its
formality and ceremony-the habit of
regarding it as a function which must
be attended by all the acquaintapces
of the dead man and his family.
do not believe in the old idea that
we honor the dead that way. If we
really want to do him honor 1 think
we can do it far better by trying to be
a bit kinder, a bit more forbearing,
a bit less unselfish to our fellowmen
whenever we think of him.

completely abolished and a simple
commitment service left as the only
burial ceremony, but if there sto be
funerals. let them be attended only
bv a mans close friends who come
spontaneously and not by obligation.
An unknown poet has expressed just
my feelings on this subject.
1 wonder if they are yours:
When 1 am dead
1 would not have the rude and gap
ing crowd
Around me gather, and mid lamen-
tations loud
Tell of my virtues; and with vain
regret
forget.
But 1 would have the few of kindly
heart,
When misfortune came, so nobly did
their part,
And oft by thoughtful deeds their love
expressed;
These would 1 have, no more, no less.
When 1 am dead.

WITH A TWO CENT FARE
BeIfast's Municipal Street Railway Is a
Great Success

Washington. Aug. 24.-Municipal
ownership and operation of street
car system has proven remarkably
successful in Belfast, according to
Consul Henry B. Miller. To students
of municipal ownership problems there
is special interest on this subject from
Consul Miller.
Low cost of transportation, economy
of administration and lack of accidents
are points chiefly emphasized by Mr..
Miller, explaining the success with
which Belfast has run it's own street
cars.
The. regular fare there is two cents.
One of the unusual features of the
system is the concentration of all lines
through a general central station
which makes every part of the city ac-
cessible from that center.
Belfast took over the street car sys-
tenn of the city about five years ago.
It's head is a general manager selected
by the city council.
