Life That Is Real Living

Southern California is noted the
world over for It's charming country
homes. This is the real California life,
the balmy atmosphere and the sweet
fragrance of the orange blossoms.
Have you such a home? If not, why
not? This is the question, and the
answer is invariably because / find the
cost of foothill acreage so high. Yes,
the beautiful homcsites of Altadena,
Sierra Madre, Monroyia and the old
established districts have gone beyond
the reach of the man of moderate
means, values advancing from $500 to
$4,000 per acre in the past few years.
There is just one genuine foothill
country home place left and that is
beautiful Monte Vista park the dis
trict that surpasses all others in rich
ness and scenic grandeur-only Is miles
from this city. This is your oppor-
tunity--here is acreage with ali i'm
provements-bouleva splendid wa
ter conditions. Everything ideal for
your country home, and the prices
only one-quarter those of the above
named districts. Do not try to i'm
agine. Do not hesitate Write or call

REV. {. s. HODG|N SAYS
PAINE NOT AN |NFIDEL
Unitarian Pastor EuIogizeS Colo
NAL Champion of Democracy
and Religious Liberty

In the introduction to his sermon on
the Fidelity and Infidelity of Thomas
Paine" Rev. E. Stanton Hodgin of the
First Unitarian church, said:
"You have all heard of Thomas
Paine. You have more frequently
heard the name Tom Paine The two
were not identical. Tom Paine is
purely mythical character that never
had any flesh and blood existence.
He was a creation of the imagination
born of the spirit of ecclesiastical big
otry and superstitious fear. Tom
Paine has always been pictured as an
infidel-a monster faithless to every
call of truth and virtue and bent only
on dethroning God and running man.
1.-The real Thomas Paine hadn't one
of the qualities or characteristics ap-
piled to the mythical Paine. He was
a man of striking faults and sterling
virtues who fought valiantly and un-
selfishly for democracy and religious
liberty. His faith in God and human
ity has never been surpassed by priest
or martyr. Few men have ever been
more obedient to the command "Ihou
shalt love thy God with thy whole
soul and whole mind and thy neighbor
as thyself.'
"The evolutionary Interpretation of
of life has brought us larger view
of God than that held by Paine, but
his view was so immeasurably superior
to the idea of a partial God OF
vengeance that he combated that we
owe much to him. Thomas Paine was
a man true to his own faith. His life
was one long. self-sacrificing, unre-
warded struggle for political and re-
ligious liberty. He always faced for
ward. He plunged into unknown and
untried fields, and he never became
disheartetned or retreated a single
inch in spite of all the bitter dlsap-
pointments, the insuperable difficult
ties and disastrous failures that fol-
lowed him one after another. He
fought the good fight and held fast to
the faith as he saw it. The world will
always have need of such courag geous
souls. and we cannot afford to let such
past characters rest dishonored and
forgotten"

BENCHES TO BE ARTISTIC

With only $4,000 instead of the $97,-
900 that 1t wanted, the park commits
sion is making Central park beauty
spot that will be one of the principal
attractions of Los Angeles. 1t will
be completed by the height of the
tourist season If the council will do
its part of the work with expedition.
The park development is already we'll
advanced. The walks have been laid
out, some of the special trees and
shrubbery have been planted, and the
council was asked by the park commits
sion last Tuesday to advertise for the
fountain, comfort station and orna-
mental iron benches.
Only $4,000 of the amount appro-
priated for the park will show, for
5000 Is to be sunk under ground in
the Hill street line under the sidewalk.
ELECTRIC LIGHTED FOUNTAIN
The fountain will be In the center
of the park and will be as ornamental
as the limited funds can make 1t. The
park commission estimates that 1t will
cost little less than $4,000. The foun-
tain will play over colored electric
lights and at night will be beautiful
sight. 1t stands in the center of a
small plaza and two broad walks cut
across this plaza diagonally from each
corner of the park.
Cocos plumosus palms will be plant
ed along the edges of the sidewalk so
their fronds will hang over and make
vistas looking directly to the fountain.
Thirteen of these beautiful palms have
already been set IN place in the park,
and Frank Sherer, park superinten-
dent, has arranged for as many more.
The thirteen palms now in the ground
were purchased at Santa Barbara and
brought to Los Angeles. 1t was one of
the most delicate jobs of transplanting
that Superintendent Sherer has under
taken since he has been at the head
of the park system. One of these palms
is 81 feet high and the others range
down to 10 feet. They have been
planted so that the larger ones are
near the center and the smaller ones
at the ends of the walks. Some of
the special trees that are yet to be
planted are the ginko, or maidenhair
fern tree, podocaipus, dalvargia and
Mexican oak.
CHANGE IN CANNON SITE
The water color prepared by Archi-
tect John Parkinson, picturing the park
as 1t will be when completed, shows
the sosaiers' monument across the
little plaza from the fountain, but this
will not be the case. Both the monu-
ment and the cannon have been moved
few feet from the locations they oc-
cupied so long at the northeast en-
trance to the park and there they will
stay.

Gavin Young and Miss Henrietta
Holly Marry a Month in Ad-
vance of the Time Set

Gavin Young, actor-manager of the
Burbank theater, sprung a surprise on
his friends Saturday by marrying Miss
Henrietta Holly between the matinee
and night performances.
The couple were united at Christ
Episcopal church by the Rev. Baker
P. Lee. The wedding date had been
previously set for october %. A high
jinks for the occasion was planned by
the couples many friends, in which
they planned to put Young and his
bride in leading parts. Young scented
trouble ahead. Saturday he slipped
into the county clerks office and nom
chalantly asked for a certificate to
wed. Then he made date with his
brlde-to-be to meet him at an ap-
pointed place. She kept the date. A
taxicab was hailed. They buzzed to
the church, found the pastor, enlisted
the services of the 1anitor and his wife
as witnesses, and bingo-the knot was
tied. Bride and groom journeyed to
the home of the brides parents and
received their blessing.
Saturday night Mr.. and Mrs Young
wore smiles that wouldn't come off.
Sunday the secret leaked out, and
down around the Burbank theater they
were buying rice.

GUM LUMBER FREE.
Recent Tariff Negotiations VIII Admit
1t Free of Duty.

Washington, April 2.-The italian
government has ruled to admit free of
duty what is known as gum lumber,
which is made from several varieties
of the gum tree. A telegram to this
effect has been received from Ambas-
sador Leishman at Rome. This lum-
Der, which is produced in several of
the southern states, formerly was adj
mitted to Italy free of duty, but some
time ago it was reclassified as cabinet
wood and made subject to a prohibit
tive duty of three lire per one hun
bred kiIogrammes or about $12 a
thousand feet
During the recent tariff negotiations
between the department of state and
the italian ambassador in Washington,
the question of the classification of this
lumber was discussed with the result
that the entire duty has now been re-
moved. The expectation of gum 1um-
Der to Italy had increased rapidly dur
ing the time it was admitted free,
more than doubling in one year, and it
is expected hat an important trade in
this class of lumber again will be
esta blished 1t is principally used for
inside work in cabinets and furniture
and also for Eoxes in which tobacco is
shipped.

SUN FISH, 5000 POUNDS
Caught on Catalina Island by w. n.
Mcmillan of Ju-Ju Ranch.

Los Angeles, Cal, April "A three
thousand pound sun fish, thought to be
the largest ever captured, was taken
yesterday off Catalina island by w. N.
Mcmillan, owner of the Ju-Ju ranch
in South Africa, and entertainer of
Colonel Roosevelt when the former
president went to Africa year ago on
his hunting trip.
Mcmillan and Captain Glover, his
boatman, declare that the monster
fish took a tolling bat and that they
wrestled with the fish for an hour and
forty minutes before a launch could
be brought near enough to gait it.
Even then it took four men, including
Mcmillan, to keep the monster on the
surface and tow it into Avalon bay,
where the prize was piloted to the
wharf. Difficulty was had in securing
tackle strong enough to hoist the fish
from the water.
Mcmillan claims to have landed mis-
prize with a three-six tackle while he
was fishing for yellow tail.

who know nothing of ancient Greeks
interfered.
Then girl students applauded the pro-
ceeding from a safe distance, but re-
fused to join in the sacrifice on the
ground that they all had new bonnets.
