LOS ANGELES
 BOMb VICTIM ?

Particles of shrapnel and steel fil- ings from bomb dropped by an enemy aeroplane flying over Los Angeles, found by detectives and the police. gave concrete proof of Jae assertion of Charles Grijalva, now visiting in Phoe- nix. that he witnessed the act.
 Grijalva was formerly Phoenix fire man and is now connected with the Los Angeles department. He was em- ployed at station number II in Los An geles in the capacity of hoseman when the aeroplane is said to have dropped the death dealing missile which luckily exploded before it reached the ground, failing to effect the navOc in the resi- dence section which was it's apparent objective. The bomb dropped near the intersection of Hoover and Temple streets between 6 and o'clock in tile evening, one day last week. The plane is then said to have taken flight m the direction of Hollywood. finall< losing itself in the Santa Monica mountains Police and detecitvse endeavOred to fol- low by automobile but were guided only by two tiny lights on the flying machine. Finally losing sight of the airplane they were forced to abandon the chase
 Grijalva has been away from Phoe- nix for the past five years The Los Angeles fire house where he is now stationed is situated about seven blocks from the scene of the alleged fruitless attack by the enemy airman.

extra dry" numbers on each program and by his marvellous way of playing them, he gradually brought his audi ences around to his way of thinking. No matter what the work may be, MT. Bauer has a way of imparting its fullest meaning, so that the layman understands.
 The pianist's technic is only a means for an end. and he has an individual way of bringing out the inner voices of all chord combinations that leaves him alone in the field of a newer piano playing school. For instance, while his ten fingers are acting under his direc- tion like a n-piece orchestra, he gives a certain color to each tone which makes one forget that it is just a plant being heard. The primary rule is that the tonic of each triad be given most prominence, and the medi ant next but MT. Bauer works far past this idea, which is so disregarded by many pianists who play all tones alike except the melody.
 Harold Bauer is known by many sur titles, among them the sane pianist, ''the pianist who thinks for he is 9 scholar, linguist and man of large ideas. He has a mature yet boyisf face, medium height yet robust, short but far-reaching arms and plumI hands that seem to be everywhere al

Bicycles Are The Gifts For Christn1as
Bicycling Is a pleasure and yet fills a real need

T HOSE portions of one Of Presi-
 dent Wilson's recent speeches in A which he said that economy should be the watchword in the conduct of our affairs. and that sports and manly activities should continue, seem to fit the bicycle and it's service to mankind exceedingly well.
 CFor does not the bicycle afford the most economical means of transporta tion-does it not fill the bill of afford ing complete exercise and pleasure at the same time?
 UThe bicycle is a money maker and money saver. At an expense of pos sibly two to four cents per day. includ ing the original cost and up-keep, a high grade bicycle can be supported these days.
 CA great saving in car fare can be effected instead of spending 20 cents per day for two trips to and from your home to the office you spend a fraction of a cent per trip when you ride bicycle.
 G Add to that the health that you secure through the complete exercise afforded by bicycle riding and you begin to realize the value of a bicycle to you TPhoenix is particularly fortunate in the fact that there are very nearly 365 days of fine weather in the year when the bicycle should and could be used to save money, secure health and to do all the things only a bicycle can do for you.
 GPhoenix folks are also very fortunate in that the fine roads. paved and un- paved, in all directions, afford great fields for diversified bicycle riding. GA boy who is energetic can quickly earn the cost of bicycle by doing chores and errands, and so can pay in a few weeks time for pleasure that will last for several years.
 OA bicycle is no one-year investment There are hundreds of bicycles in use that have been doing their duties daily even greater periods.
 TBicyclins is on the increase. More women are riding bicycles every day. That's a. good sign for it indicates the upward tendency Physicians recom- mend bicycle riding as an excellent exercise. Men and boys who ride bi- cycles all will tell you of their con- venience, comfort and pleasures. Everybody will tell you they save time.
 So you see-it behooves you to heed the call of the bicycle. You should get the pleasure, exercise, time saving and money saving values of the bicycle as your own. Investigate this thing, Go around to one of these reputable deal CTS in bicycles and talk it over.

Bauer's hands touched the keys of the specially imported instru- ment to the close of his recital there was none but musical expression ot the greatest artistry, far beyond, as 1t were, the comprehension of most of his hearers.
 It was. Bauer who first started to educate the general public to the beauties of the classics of pianoforte literature, and several years ago. when if was thought he played trifle over the heads of his audiences, he eX- plained that everyone has musical taste but it needed development. and by including a few heretofore known
