WORKER AMONG DERELICTS
TALKS TO SALVATION ARMY

Having been engaged in the Door of
Hope missions and the anti-suicide
bureau of the Salvation Army for sew
eral years, Mrs. e. NJ. Whittemore of
New York city made an interesting ad-
dress before the local Salvation Army
corps at it's headquarters, 4S1 South
Hill street, last evening.
Mrs Whittemore dwelt principally
on some of her experiences with per-
sons who had become discouraged from
various causes and contemplated TAX
ing their lives, but had been prevented
from committing the act, making the
point that they were not Christians;
that it was through the merits of the
blood of Jesus Christ that they had
been converted and saved from the
stigma of suicide.
Mrs. Whittemore intermingled pathos
and humor in her address in presenting
the scenes incident to the work among
the disheartened in bringing them out
Of their despair into the sphere of
Christian fortitude.

PARROTS SHOW RIVALRY
IN CONTEST OF SONGS

LONG BEACH, Oct. 16-At the
home of Mrs. K. c. Clough, in Atlantic
avenue. there were left one day last
week two parrots, one the property
of e. r. Browne, a jeweler, and the
other owned by Mrs. c. d. Reider of
East Second street. Both these par
rots are vocalists. Mrs. Reider's bird
sings 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
and the other parrot knows the words
and carries the air of Il Put My
Money on a Bob-Tailed Horse"
The day the birds were left at the
Clough home for safe keeping each
bird made particular efforts to warble
loudly and distinctly whenever the
other started to carol. Mrs. Clough
was much surprised to hear one of the
parrots start out singing 'Oh, say, can
you see" At which juncture up
piped Lauretta, the other parrot, Il
put my money on bob-tailed horse.
Throughout the day the birds rivalry
continued, much to the entertainment
of Mrs. Clough and her neighbors.

PASADENA CITIZENS
JEALOUS OF RIGHTS
Complain of CarmeIita Casino Re-
ports Being Made to the
Board of Trade First

PASADENA, Oct. 17.-Another curb
stone forum has been started in Pasa-
dena, this time over the Carmelita
casino-convention hall committees re-
port recently rendered to the board Of
trade directors. A number of MEM
bers of the citizens committee which
met last spring and appointed the sub
committee to recommend a plan for
acquiring the Carmelita and Monk
hill properties for park and conVen-
ton hall purposes are complaining pc
cause the report was rendered to the
board of trade directors before being
submitted to the citizens committee
for approval.
President Geohegan of the board Of
trade said last evening; 1.-THE report
of the Carmelita committee was only
submitted to the directors for indorse-
meut. 1t must still be presented to
the citizens committee for approval
or rejection before the matter of call
ing a bond election is taken up with
citv officials. meeting of the cit
izens' committee will be called some
time this week. I cannot announce
the date until it is determined when
the addition to the board of trade
rooms will be ready for occupancy
and what dates this week are open
for meetings."
The movement was started under the
administration of former President
Ed T. Off of the board of trade by
the calling in last spring of represen-
tatives of all civic and semi-civ1c or
ganizations of the city to advise the
directors in the matter.
Subcommittee were appointed TO
make investigations and recommenda-
tions, but nothing had been heard
from them since their appointment.
The prevailing idea in the public mlnd
was that the matter of acquiring the
Carmelita and Monk hill properties
was being allowed to rest pending a
settlement of the arroyo bridge mat
ter and the water question. the re-
mort Of the committee Saturday rec
ommending the purchase by the city
of the properties mentioned came as
a surprise.
According to President Geohegan or
the board of trade, an effort Will be
made to reorganize the citizens car
melita committee along the line OF the
water committee, that is, to take the
matter out OF the hands of board OF
trade officials and leave the question
TO the committee to decide as to
whether a bond election shall be called
and how it shall be conducted II
called. "At any rate" declares Pres
ident Geohegan, 1--WE hope the citizens
will adjourn their 'curbstone sessions
until after the committee has an op-
portunity to act in the premises

SURE, IT PAYS

When Cleopatra, gay old girl.
Got gay one night and drank a pearl,
All frugal folk cried out for shame
But marveled at her just the same:
And she was rlsht-and she was wise
To thus get in and advertise.

When old Doc Cook swore on his soul
That he had landed at tho pole
He nature-faked both north and south,
And had them foaming at the mouth;
And yet. wherever Doc may be.
He got the money didn't he?
-Grantland Rice.
And there's John D. Of Standard on.
His dealings sometimes make US boil;
He whipsawed and browbeat the court,
And all did was rear and snort,
His 'uplift" is to advertise
And now we laud him TO the skies.

And there's old Andrew Carnegie
Forsooth a knowing wight is he,
Who thinks the people ought to read
Is bread, not llb'ries by the score,
with Andy's name above the door.

It wakes the household with its cries
And learns it pays TO advertise.

SAN BERNARDINO. Oct. 16.-F. ].
Esler filed in Reno yesterday new
complaint in his sut for divorce
against his wife, Camille Esler. The
first suit, which was bitterly fought,
ended by Esler's attorneys asking
that the case be dismissed.
Esler has secured new lawyer and
yesterday a sealed complaint was filed
in the county clerks Office in Reno.
In answer to his first suit, which
was based on the grounds of cruelty
and desertion, Mrs. Esler filed cross
complaint naming a correspondent,
and the court told both parties that
it was evident Mrs. Esler had not de-
serted the plaiantiff. The court at that
time advised that a reconciliation be
effected, but this, it appeared, was
impossible.
Mrs. Esler has returned from Reno,
where she successfully contested the
first action. 1t is believed that she
will also contest the new complaint.
