GLENDORA, CAL, April A.
-Four bandits made two unsuc-
cessful attempts early today to
dynamite the vaults in the Glen
dora bank. Two distinct ex-
plosions aroused the residents.
When people living nearby ar
rived at the bank the yeggmen
grew alarmed and leaped into
an automobile and escaped
empty handed.

Facts Worth Knowing.
Uncle Sam.

uncle SAM" the popular title
for the United States. In the veal
1912 a large quantity of provisions
for the army was purchased at Troy
N. Y, by Ebert Anderson, gov.
eminent contractor. The goods were
inspected by two brothers, Ebene.
ger and Sam Wilson. The last nam
ed was invariably known among
the workmen as uncle Sam" The
packages were marked E. A.-U. S.
On being asked the meaning OF
these initials, a workman jokingly
replied that he did not know unless
they meant Ebert Anderson and
Uncle Sam. So the title became cur
rent among workmen, soldiers and
people, and the United States Gov
eminent is known now by those
who affeotionately call it Uncle Sam.

SUMMER ADVERTISING.
If Trade Flags in Summer Put the
Tonic of Advertising Into 1t.

A careful study of the advertising
in the big metropolitan papers
shows that a great deal of costly
publicity work is done in the sum-
mer. The big department stores
do not quit in July and August.
Their sales may not be quite up to
the level of spring or fall. All the
more reason, according to their
philosophy, why they should push
for trade.
They argue that the profitable
store is the one that is busy all the
year around at the same level. The
advertising that helps keep their
trade normal In summer is really
more profitable than the advertising
that brings in more trade at a time
when people are naturally buying
freely.
The advertising men who handle
this big store work are good guides
for the smaller merchants TO fol-
low They have carefully analyzed
the various theories of advertising.
If they believe it pays to advertise
largely in summer, it will pay for
their competitors throughout retail
trade.
In smaller cities, there is some
little tendency for advertising to
drop at that time. 1t is about as
sensible as if a farmer should re-
fuse to feed his horse because the
beast was a little more tired than
usual. 1t is when an animal flags
that the farmer sees that he is in
need of the best grain.
If trade flags in summer, put the
tonic of advertising into it!
Merchants may fear a drop in
trade in summer, but one surmises
that it is apt to be less than they
anticipate. OF course forhanded
people with plenty of money stock.

but many strangers are in this II

trade is solicited.

Popular Government and War.


War has always been primarily
an affair of kings and mobiles. In
the old feudol days, the lord gave
his subjects certain protection, and
in return eXacted military service.
The subject got security from uni
versal lawlessness. He could we'll
afford to take the chances of oCca-
sional scrapping in behalf of the
ruling baron.
Autocratic monarchs guard jeal-
ously their ancient prestige. Their
conception is not different from that
prevailing centuries ago. 1t is the
survival of this archaic feudal
spirit that has brought on the trag.
ic conflict in Europe.
In older history, kings and gen.
erals, their ambitions, passions, and
rivalries, were the center of inter
est. The life, labor, suffering, tax.
alton, and sorrow of the common
people, who feed the nav of the
cannon, was minor matter.
Democratic government by nc
means provides escape from war
National hatred may be nursed al
every hearthstone. Mothers may
bring up their boys under oaths OF
racial vengeance. The moment some
h <adStrong power casts the fire.
brand, every humble home leaps
into fire.
But as a general thing, popular
government reduces the chances OF
war Where ministries and cabin
cts are subject to Congresses and
lparliaments, the lust of battle
stands the scrutiny of common
sense. If progress and national in
tegrity are only possible at the cost
Of this final sacrifice, the common
people will sanction and support a
war.
But if the challenge is thrown
down merely from regal arrogance,
or for some worthless little strip of
territory, the workers of the nation
will ask why they should sacrifice
their lives and their little savings
for so trif1ing a cause. Autocratic
governments that bring on needless
wars are likely to find themselves
buried under the rising tide of pop
ular government.

WHAT WAR Is ABOUT.

The cause of the European war
is Austria's distrust of Servia,
brought to crisis by the recent as
sassination of the Austrian crown
prince and his wife by Servian.
Austria asserts that an organized
propaganda has been conducted in
the Slavic provinces of Austro-Hun-
gary adjoining Servia. It's object is
declared to have been to arouse the
Slavic inhabitants to revolt and
annex their provinces to Servia,
thus forming an important Slavic
empire of greater Servia.
An ultimatum was sent to Servia
insisting that this propaganda cease
and that its instigators be tried and
punished under supervision of Aus
trian officials.
Servia promised everything ask
ed except to permit Austrian off,
Gals to take part. This refusal
Austria felt, nullifed the effective
ness of the proceeding and it de-
clared war to end situation which
it announced was intolerable.'
Russia, bound to Servia by ties
of common ancestry, notified Aus
tria that it would not permit Servi-
an territory to be taken, since that
would build up the Teutonic
strength at the expense of the Slavs
Germany, as an ally of Austria, was
bound to come to its defense. Italy
is concerned as a member of the
triple alliance of Germany, Austria
and Italy.
France and England are involved
through their understanding with
Russia not to permit the balance OF
power of Europe to be disturbed
through Teutonic expansion.

The Wild Throw.

When the third baseman threw
wild to first and let in two runs, he
didn't mean to do it; his nerves
merely played him false at mo-
ment of sudden tension.
But such is the psychology OF tia
greatest of games that his error
threw the whole team into confu-
sion. "Our side "blew up and an
other sad defeat was added to the
record.
Small actions frequently lead to
large results. You never can tell.
A wild throw seems a trifing thing
to be the means of spelling the
hard work of the nine earnest men.
But in the strategy OF baseball
there is no place for wild throws.
The best a chap can do in the
game of life is none too good. 1t
pays to keep in condition.

THE LATE CAPTAIN ROBERTS.
Remains Brought to This City and In
TERED This Afternoon.

The body of the late Captain Frank
Roberts, who died from exhaustion at
..er having been rescued from Pa
|munkey Creek last Friday, were
brought to this city early yesterday
morning. The funeral took place this
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The services
we're conducted by Rev. G. A. Luttrell,
pastor of Trinity NJ E. Church.
The deceased was captain of the
pungy boat R. J. Marsh, and was en-
gagged in the transportation of wood
to this city. After the boat had been
loaded in the creek, he placed an
anchor in a small boat and started
out in the creek for the purpose of
'caging" the pungy farther out in
the stream. While engaged in that
work the small boat sunk under the
weight of the anchor and chain and
he was thrown into the water. He
was unable to swim and was exhaust
ed when rescued. After having been
placed in the cabin of the schooner he
expired.

RED LIGHTS IN ECLIPSE
Resorts on North Lee Street Close
at Midnight Last
Night.

Alexandria's 'sred-light' district is
now thing Of the past. Promptly at
twelve O'Clock last night the red
lights which made north Lee street
one of the best lighted streets in the
city, were extinguished and the dis
trict which has flourished for more
than half century will soon be but
memory. There were no unseemly
scenes connected with the closing of
the resorts. The residents were con-
vinced that the authorities had fully
determined to drive them out of bus
mess and there was no attempt to
evade the law.
Today was moving day in the dis
trict. Packers were at work boxing
up the furniture and fixtures Of the
house. ALI of the women have deter
mined to take up their residence In
other cities with the exception Of
one proprietresS who owns her prop
ty and says that she will continue to
reside on north Lee street, but will
make no attempt to violate the order
of the authorities. 1t is reported that
several of the women who have made
their homes on north Lee street will
be married in a short time.
Several years ago practical joker
of this city crept into the segregated
section one night and placed Grape
upon every door knob. AS the hours
advanced certain visitors went into
the neighborhood and finding on one
door the signs of mourning swayed by
/ the night breeze moved away to an
other retreat. They found Grape there
also, as they did upon the knobs OF
each public house. Concluding the
avenging angel had made a sudden
descent upon the haunts of vice, the
would-be visitors left the neighbor-
hood Immediately, believeing they hac

LARGE DOCKET TO-DAY.
Nineteen Delinquents Appear Before
the Police Court This Morning.

But few cases have appeared on the
docket of the Police Court for some
time, and they generally are of a
trifling nature. There was a pie
thora, however, this morning, embrac-
ing nearly all phases of crime save
murder.
One man was charged with felon-
ious assault, another with burglary,
several for disorderly conduct, two
were DRINKS and one man was charged
with non-support of his family.
Two Washingtonians paid $40 for
disordcrly conduct on electric trains,
and man who had caused disorder on
a river steamer had his case contln-
ued.
A large crowd of spectators appear
ed in the court for the purpose OF
witnessing the proceedings. All the
cases were appropriately disposed Of
