Santa Monica, Gala lusty Crab
ma rooster with penchant for crow
ing at all hours of the night, was
made fowl defendant in complaint
signed by j. A. Freedman and directed
against Fred Holtz of 1921 Lake
street.
After the complaint had been sign
ed Chief Ferguson thought it was a
good plan to insert an "et al" for the
rooster. He served notice on Mr..
Holtz to appear in Judge Kings court
and bring the rooster with him,
The complaining witness says the
rooster makes more noise than a Hun
airplane, and not only crows at the
break of day, but at unseemly hours
of the night.

During the recent reign of terror in
Finland, Jean sibelius, the famous
finnish composer was in grave dan
ger and no way Of escape seemed pos
sible. The Red Guards, who we're then
in power, had made up a black list of
Flnland's greatest men and at the
head of the list was the name of Jean
Sibelius
The Composer knew his name to be
on the prescription list and his
friends in Helsingfors knew 1t, too.
He was then living in his country
house, which was closely guarded /;
! but one day his friend, Prof. Kajanus,
having succeeded in obtaining a
sledge, drove there, managing to have
an interview with Sibelius and to get
away afterward.
BY chance the professor heard that
the chief of the Reds, bearing the title
of War Minister, had been a cornet
player and that he was q lover OF mu-
sic. This decided him to call upon
that official and to seek his aid for
the man on whom Finland had set her
musical hope. After a long conser-
walton NJ KajaRus asked the Minister
"a workman whom the Red Guards
had taken out of prison) if he really
wished that Sibelius, the composer of
so much beautiful music. should be
killed.
This question disturbed the chief of
the Reds to such degree that he at
once made out a passport for Sibelius,
with which NJ. Kajanus was enabled
to pass the Red Guards and release
his friend.

INDIAN PRINCE GIVES
HOSTS OF MEN TO BRITAIN
Man Who Lives Like Emperor Is
Inyalided Home


London-There is no man today at
once more picturesque and patriotic
than his highness, the Maharaiah of
Patiala, who represents the native
princes of India on the imperial war
cabinet.
Tall and staywart, with a kingly
carriage inherited from thousand
years of royal ancestors; with eyes
dark and flashing under his richly
ieweled turban, and a black curly
beard fringing a face of combined dig
nifty and geniality, he is the beau ideal
of an eastern prince.
And in his kingdom, though 1t Is
no larger than Yorkshire, he main
tains a magnificence worthy of an en-
peror; as was illustrated when, some
months ago, he accompanied his guest,
the viceroy, on a hunting expedition,
with procession of fifty richly ca
parisoned elephants, and escort of a
company of his own laneers, and an
army of 1900 native soldiers to act as
beaters.
But if he is the typical oriental in
appearance and splendor he is a west
ern in culture and tastes. He speaks
English as fuently as if it were his
own tongue; and he knows English
l.. s.A Go,
peans know them He Yields an eX-
cellent bat, and captains his own team
on his cricket ground in Patiala.
His loyalty to Britain has been
magnifcently proved in the war;
thousands of his troops are in Meso-
potamia and Egypt, and he himself
spent long months in the fighting line
until serious illness disabled him.

THE SwINDLING PROFITEER

Representative Sweet was talking
about war profiteers.
"The meanest kind of war prof.

The profiteers on food, on ammunition
or on steel give you something for
your money at least, but the swindler
gives you nothing at all.

command confidence, for no other kid

ment is the best proof of merit. Read

Miss Dora Edgington, Wood St.

them. At times my kidneys have be-
