Charles E. Sebastian used to clerk
in his mothers little corner gro
Gerry.
Yesterday he became mayor
of Los Angeles within two blocks
of the spot where he stood behind
the counter.
Those who have followed his
career declare his smile is just as
ready, his handclasp just as cor
dial and his word just as good as
when he sold a dimes worth OF
cheese and quart of cranberries
to help exc out the widows mite.
A short while before he as
sumed his new duties, the city
father-in-chief took half an hour
off to tell little story of his life.
Most boys who amount to any
thing In this world have a dream
of being somebody, some day. But
! never had any aspirations to-
ward political life. This is sim
gular, too, when remembered
that both on my mothers side
and my fathers side there we're
many who filled various public
positions, and still do, back in

Chester n. Baker and Frew Ste

face and hands.
None of the four knows how the
explosion occurred. While they
were busy at work, a gasoline vat
became ignited, threw fire in ev-
cry direction, and filled the room
with dense yellow smoke.
The men and woman CROPPED
their way through smoke and fire,
managing to reach the outer air
just as they were becoming ex-
hausted.
Firemen arrived in time to save
the building, although the in
terror was badly damaged. The

mains visible under a pressure OF
0.000035 millimeters OF mercury.
Now this green line is found in
the spectrum of the aurora borealis
and it seems to be well established
that this exists frequently at attitudes
between 100 and 200 miles, and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles
But krypton is one OF the heaviest
gases in our atmosphere 1t would
seem, therefore. that the density OF
the air at these attitudes is by no

unless the air possessed an appre-
