Copenhagen is a city of 5OO,0OO n- habitants. During a weeks stay have seen no seller of matches or boot laces, no gutter merchant, no blind or other afflicted persons about the streets asking for alms-not one single sign of distress due to poverty. I have explored the artisans quarters by day and late at night. There is not q single spot in the whole of Copen- hagen that could be compared even re- motely to the slums in our large towns There are no unemployed hang ing about the street corners, no un- kempt women standing idly at the doors, no ragged and dirty children playing in the gutter. There are no dirty houses, with dirty or broken windows, mended with bits of paper. and a ragged apron or torn bedcloth doing duty for a curtain.-Denmark Letter in London Express.

Meetifg Called to Plan for Port
able Vaudeville in Gro
teSque Parade

PASADENA, Nov. 2S.-Among the
names suggested for Pasadena's new
carnival club are Jovial Journeyman
testers, Mystic knights of Pasa-
testers and Crown City Cutups. Of
ficers of the organization have issued
a call for all citizens who have sug-
gestions as to appropriate names to
submit them to the meeting tonight in
the board of trade rooms. 1t is
planned to adopt a permanent name at
this meeting.
Reports from the membership COM
mittee of ten, together with individual
workers, indicate that with today S
soliciting the charter membership Will
pass the 800 mark. 1t is also an
nounced that all lists must be turned
in tonight in order to have the names
entered on the charter roll.
The parade committee will offer for
adoption tonight report on the pro
posed grotesQue parade to be held on
the night of January 2, following the
annual flower festival and chariot
races. It is planned to stage a port
able" vaudeville, each float carrying
a separate act, with clowns and other
masked characters on foot between the
floats.
The parade will be so arranged that
stops will be made at intervals while
the performers on the floats amuse
the people on the sidewalks. 1t is
argued in favor of this plan that each
person in the audience" can remain
in one position while the show passes
by, each successive act stopping in the
same place as the parade passes.

PUGILIsT MORAN WILL
PROBABLY CO ON STAGE
British Lightweight Who Knocked
Out Battling Nelson to
Leave for East

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2l.-OWen
Moran, the British lightweight, who
knocked out Battling Nelson in the
eleventh round of their fight here yes
terday, will leave for the east Tuesday.
Moran today received several offers to
appear on the stage as the result or
his decisive victory over the former
champion, and he probably will accept
one of the offers.
Charley Harvey, Moran's manager,
said today he wanted to have Moran
meet Ad Wolgast, and was willing to
wait until the champion was ready to
fight, but he did not look with favor
upon the terms Wolgast announced
last night-a guarantee of $12,500 and
the right to name the referee.
ut is ridiculous for WOlgast to talk
of naming the referee" said Harvey.
ut would kill the fight at the start.
If he has a right to a $12,5O0 guarantee,
Moran has a right to, $4,000, as Moran
is the greater drawing card now. The
game is not in such shape now that
guarantees of that kind can be given"
Nelson got hold of Promoter Coffroth
today and wanted to get the next open
date for fight with Wolgast. Nelson
insists he can beat the champion de-
spite the knockout that Moran gave
him yesterday. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the promoters here are not
thinking at all of putting Nelson into
the ring again at this time.

Fromage Is Made of 1890
Quarts of Milk

LONG BEACH, Nov. GA local
grocer has just received at his estab-
lishment in Pine avenue, between Sec
ond and Third streets, a cheese so
much bigger than any other ever
brought into Long Beach that some
of his friends have questioned his good
judgment.
This cheese is a drum of the eastern
full cream product, weighs 1850 pounds,
is the product Of 12,78O quarts of milk
and required five men to lift it from
the freight car in which it was car
ried. The grocer argues that the big
ger the cheese the better it is, and
this fromage de bovine, he says, will
find a ready market in this city.

GAME BETWEEN THR00P

challenge to Santa Ana high school to
determine the disputed championship Of
Southern California, the match to be
played on neutral grounds. Throop
claims the pennant on account of win

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 27.--The
United States has just passed through

record for the twelve months ended
June 80, as it shows in the figures OF
the internal revenue bureau:
Distilled spirits, 63,O00,OOO gallons
3O.OO0.OOO gallons more than the year
Fermented liquors, 59,4S5,111 barrels
an increase of 100000.

900 more than the year before.
Oleomargarine, 141,S62,2S2 pounds
500OO,000 pounds increase.
Illicit distilling of moonshine whisky
on the increase, especially" the pu-
reau says, "where there are state-Wlde
prohibition laws"
The internal revenue receipts on all
these things-and certain other things,
such as playing cards and mixed hour'
amounted to more than $289OOO,OO0,
and Commissioner Cabelrs organlza-
ton collected it all at a cost of ABOUT
10000 900. 1t cost a penny and little
more than seven mills to collect each
dollar.
When the present year is ended next
J,1ne 20 Commissioner Cabell estimates
his men will have collected at least
S3OS, 900, 900 at practically the same cost.
Commissioner Cabell's report, speak
ing Of Illicit distilling, says Alabama,
Georgia. North Carolina and South
Carolina lead in offenses of that cnar-
acter. o..
Within the year officers closed 1911
plants, 200 more than last year.
While the manufacture of oleonar-
garine has increased, the tax receipts
were disappointed. That is said to
he because a large proportion Of the
oleomargarine is so made as to take
a lower tax than formerly.
Many prosecutions are under way
charging violation of the law, but
Commissioner Cabell declares he be-
Iieves they constitute only small pro-
portion of the real offenders.
