by Members of California

Santa Clara, Cal.-Swooping over
the foothills recently, Glenn Martins
biplane scared all the coyotes in sight
and hearing. The occasion was the
coyote hunt of the Santa Ana Rife
club, Of which Martin is q member,
and the result Of the hunt was the
capture Of one coyote. a big fellow.
The carcass was strapped to the aero
plane and was taken as passenger to
Santa Ana.
The hunters had hoped 10 bring in
half a dozen Of the pests, but were
unable to begin their hunt until after
seven o'clock. 1t had Seen planned

catch the sneaking animals before
they got hack into the brushy hills.

was left locked, and It was seven
o'clock before the hunters could pro-
coed. The hunters covered ground

to the hills directly back Of Corona

along the range Of foothills, using the
biplane in which he made his trip
from Newport bay to Avalon. The air
craft was driven low, and 1t was with
ease that moving objects in the brush
could be detected. Martin Is thorough
ly satisfied with the efficiency Of the

The use of small bows on the latest
models represent a very special novelty,
or rather revival, and will play an i'm
mensely important part during the COM

associated with the early eighties, they
have appeared in many dress schemes
before that time. and in the old pictures
of crinoline days one sees not a few
gowns treated in this fashion, the bows
starting on the cOrsage and being car
ried all down the front.
For evening wear they give a particu-
larly dainty finish to some of the gowns
which are being prepared for the season.
