TRAINS HALTED IN CALIFORNIA:
 BIG. STRIKE ON

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.-(P- Transportation in Southern California is practically paralyzed tonight as result of the striking of four railway brotherhoods, and as a result but very lew rains are running on any of the railroads. The roads most affected are the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and the San Pedro Los Angeles X Salt Lake. No night trains whatever are leaving over the Southern Pacific tonight and the service on the other two lines is also badly hampered as a re suit of the strike.
 It is understood here that the strike of the railroad men is made in sym pathy with the car strikers of this ci who are still holding out.

 SITUATION CRITICAL
 LOS ANGELES. Aug. 22-R- Late tonight the strike situation here is becoming increasing critical as it is feared that the nightly fruit ship ments will tied up which condition would result in great losses by both producer and buyers of fruit. The Santa Fe railroad tonight announced the cancellation of all trains leaving this city after nine o'clock because of the inability to get crews to man them. The officials of the Santa Fe also state that unless conditions change the inbound train service to- morrow will also be seriously affected. Federal mediation is aid to be the only way to end the strike which is spreading hourly.

DEMANDS HONOR
 AND A PENSION

LONDON, Aug. 15.-R)-Charles Hannah, novelist and playwright, has demanded knighthOod and a pension from the government for himself and wife on the ground that he suggested to the British Admiralty the advisa- bility of using smoke boxes or smoke screens which were extensively used for the protection of British naval and merchant vessels during the lat ter part of the war.
 He claims that he proposed this plan to Winston Churchill and the Admiralty on February 6, 1915, on condition that he was to receive knighthood and a pension. MT Han- nan says the Admiralty informed him 1t was not prepared to adopt his pro posals.
 Six months later, says MT. Hannah, he joined the Admiralty and for the first time discovered that experiments on the line suggested by him had been secretly conducted in the Medi- terranean.
 MT. Hannah asserts that the first recorded use of smoke boxes in naval warfare occurred in the Battle of Jut- land, May 31, 1916.
 For nearly two years Mir. Hannah has been writing to the Premier Lloyd George and Sir Eric Geddes, formerly First Lord of the Admiralty, claiming his reward. Failing he has made his claims public through London news papers.

HOPI INDIANS HOLD ANNUAL
 SNAKE DANCE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-R-A relic of their barbaric past, yet such part -of their tribal existence that it cannot be discarded, the annual dance of the Hopi Indians will be held this year August 20 and Sep tember 6, at the Hopi Indian reser- vatiOn in Eastern Arizona, according to an announcement made here re- gently.
 The ceremonies surrounding the an nual festival are so weird and bar baric that thousands of tourists and pleasure seekers bored by the com monplace and seeking something diff ferent. pay the HOpi reservation a visit.
 Preceding the snake dance, which continues for nine days, the Indians hold a musical concert, participated in by two bands. equipped only with flutes. After playing several selec- tons. the music ends with footrace.
 When the snake dance starts, war riors of the tribe are despatched to the desert to bring in the reptiles.

UPKEEP OF THE PACIFIC FLEET
 GOOD BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-(P)- The economic value of the Pacific fleet to the west is indicated by the average cost of maintaining warships as shown in the United States navy year book. The figures were for 1915, but it was said these costs have increased many percent perhaps more than doubled since that time.
 The following includes pay for of- ficers and men, repairs to Hull and machinery and other costs for a

Sihce the foregoing table was com piled pay for sailors, dock and skilled labor of navy plants have increased as had every other item going into maintenance of a ship.
 There will be approximately 200 vessels in the new Pacific fleet. All will not be in the service and the battleships will number only about fifteen at all times. but multiplica- tion of types of craft by the average cost of maintenance in 1915 yields an impressive total. Most of this cost will be expended in Pacific states.

caused by an inflamed condition of the
