Close up under the high, blue hills
of Santa Barbara there has been built
one of the most artistic, complete film
studios in the country! 1t has been
fashioned, with care, after the old
California mission architecture. The
grounds, within it's walls, have been
laid out in artistic beds of old-fash-
Toned flowers and long stretches of
clover.
Under the bright, INDECENT sun, it
lies so peaceably that no one would
think such word as work was ever
heard within its walls.
But once inside the walls, found
another atmosphere. Winifred Green

pleasure and work seemed to be so
happily combined ..:.
We commenced our tour, of inspec-

across the gravel paths ledus to the
big glass-roofed studio where all the
interiors are taken. Close beside it
we found the large place where the
resident scene painter works all day
long.

CoIoring the News.-Monday's
Tribune started its story on the Sun
day meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor with a headline in these
words: Urge Violence in Colorado"
The opening paragraph was as fol-
lows
Speeches advocating violence by
workingmen when their appeals to
the courts are denied we're made at
the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday"
The first impression given the read

of Lt.-Gov. O'Hara and that of John
Walker, president of the Illinois Fed
Grafton of Labor. (The Tribune show
ed how much it doesn't know about
labor leaders by referring to John
Walker as William Walker.)
Violence was not urged by any one
of the speakers, except as last re-
sort and then only by wOrkingmen in
defense of their families and their
friends; and then it was urged as the
constitutional right of an American
citizen.
President Walker said he favored
exhausting every expedient to protect
their constitutional rights before re-
sorting to arms, and said he would go
as far as any man to try to get JUS
tee for. the workers without violence.
He plainly said that workers would

forced upon them as last resort.
After thoroughly covering the
ground along that line he then said,
as l remember it, after saying that
workingmen wanted to obtain justice
by the methods of peace, but If they
won't have it any other way and in
sist on war, then by God, well give
it to them that way"
Lt.-Gov. O'Hara merely defended
the action of the Colorado miners In
fighting back to defend their homes,
their wives and their children from
the murderous assaults of hired gun
men and state militia.
What's wrong about that? Is there
any red-blOOded man who reads this
who would fold his arms and look on
peaceably while hired assassins were =
numbering his wife and babies?
l think the patience Of the workers
in Colorado and in Michigan has been
amazing. When they were cheated Of
justice by officers and judges of
courts, they didn't get guns and
shoot.

When the state militiamen were

But when they got off company
land, when they rented land them
selves and erected tents for them

then killed others by setting fire to

THANKS TO HIS PRESERVER
Luckily for Me | Wasn't BaId-Head-
ed" Exclaimed Man Rescued
From Swimming Tank.

A well-known athlete says that on
entering a Turkish bath one night he
found a stranger struggling in the
swimming pool. There was nobody
near, and the man was evidently un-
able to swim, having jumped in prob
ably without ascertaining whether
the water would be above his head.
The athlete swan to the assistance
of the struggling man. Grasping him
by the hair, he towed him to the side
of the tank and assisted him to hang
on until he recovered his breath.
What were the first words uttered
by the rescued one? Did he stammer
out thanks to his humSh preserver?
No. The human mind is a curious

DYSPEPTlC PHILOSOPHY

It's when the doctors bills come in
that we wonder if life is worth living.
Intellectual growth shouldn't neces-
sarily cause mans head to outgrow
his hat.
1t doesn't take much to please a
lot of people who are pleased with
themselves.
The fellow who always wants to get
something for nothing can always got
in a free fight.
The average woman not only wants
the last word, but about 80 per cent
of the preceding conversation as well.
A girl can have so many reasons for
loving a young man that it doesn't
matter whether any Of them are log
ical or not.
No matter how long a woman has
been married to a man, she keeps
right on expecting that he will even
tually reform.

Like Other Staid Business

It's staid, purltanlcal business man
who's able to resist the dance germ in

so brings. now, unthought-of devotees to
the shrine of Terpschore.
Even two of the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads busiest vice presidents have caught
the infection-men whose shoulders, in
the opinion of ordinary mortals, would
be so burdened with the cares of the day
that by tho time the dancing hour rolled
around they would be taking things COM
fortably in house slippers and lounging
robes instead of fox-trotting and lulu
iado-ing in dance pumps to the tune Of

Not so with w. W. Atterbury and

rounds TO the infinite amusement OF rail-
ROAD men regarding tho visits of these
two gentlemen to their dancing master
one day, when the dance bacilli must
nave been particularly active up at
the general offices OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad. MIR. Atterbury decided that he'd
like TO take few lessons in the latest
steps.
So he called up n well-known teacher
and made an appointment. And when
the time rolled around to keep II, the
vice president in charge of the operation
OF one of the biggest railroads in the
WOTlu put dull care aside and went
forth to be initiated into the mysteries
of the dance
But arriving at the academy of the
teacher Mr.. Atterbury was told that that
individual was engaged. and so champ
ing his bit and stamping his heels in
the anteroom, his wrath rose slowly.
Here was pretty note! A man whose
outer office is at all times filled with those
waiting to be admitted to the sanctum,
kept waiting himself The tables were
turned. What excuse could there be for
such impudence?
Just as Mr.. Atterbury was deciding
there could be no excuse for It; just as
he was making up his mind to forego
his lesson, the door of the dancing acad-
emy opened and gentleman of dignined
and imposing mien with a beatiflc and
highly pleased expressions on his coun-
tenance walked forth.
And then Mr.. Atterbury received a
shock.
II was Henry Tatnall. vice president
in charge of the finance.
He had had his lesson first.
Up at the general offices they can't de-
eide whether the joke is "on" Mr.. After

LOSS OF GOOD HOPE
CONFIRMED; BRITISH
ADMIRAL ABOARD
Flagship Sank After Ex-
plosion in Chill Battle.
Glasgow E$osoed-Mon-
mouth Believed to Be
Ashore.

LONDON, Nov. 1T is officially an
nounced by the Admiralty that the British
cruiser Good Hope, the flagship OF Rear
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, took fire
during the engagement with the Ger
mans off the coast of Chilli last Sunday
and foundered.
The statement says:
THE Admiralty has received trust
worthy information about the action on
the Chilian coast
During Sunday the 1st of November,
the Good Hope. Monmouth and Glasgow
came up with the Scharnhorst, Gnelsenau,
Leipzig and Dresden. Both squadrons
were steaming south in a strong wind
and considerable sea.
The German squadron declined action
until sunset, when the light gave it an
important advantage. The action lasted
an hour.
Early in the action both the Good
Hope and Monmouth took fire, but fought
until nearly dark, when a serious ex-
plosion occurred on the Good Hope and
she foundered.
'"The Monmouth hauled off at dark
making water badly, and appeared unable
to steam away. She was accompanied by
the Glasgow. which had meanwhiIs dur
ing the whole action, fought the Espzig
and Dresden.
'On the enemy again approaching the
wounded Monmouth. the Glasgow, which
also was under fire from one OF the
armored cruisers, drew off.
The enemy then attacked the Mon
mouth again, but with what result Is not
known The Glasgow is not extensively
damaged and has very few casualties.
Neither the Otranto nor the Canopus
was engaged.
