California Politics

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. B.-Poli-
tics is odious to some persons, par
ticularly to those for whom IL has shown
no reciprocal affection In past days OF
exubsrant love. but II remained for
California TO develop politics that also
Is odorifer0us. Out in that land OF
climate and native sons, where weather
and sweet air are stocks in trade, one
fair daughter has found it necessary to
close her ~nostrils to the efnuvium
which, she says, emRnates from the
political cesspool Of her city,
Mrs. Samuel Austin, wife OF a santa
Monica newspaper publisher, Is non
commlttal concerning the nature Of the
odor from which she defends herself,
but when she ventures out on the street
a double jointed clothespin straddles
her dainty nose. And there II snail
remain, she declares, until Santa Non
lea, basking luxuriously in the Call
fornia drizzle, again smells sweet.
Mrs. Austin admits she knows OF
other ways of closing the gate to olfac-
tory %trespassers. but she is placing her
money on the clothespin-not a spe-
cially constructed, ornate creation by
some jeweler, but Just an ordinary
homeiy, washday elothespin. And Mrs,
Austin seems to be justified IN her
choice. She says she wants people TO
notice her, and apparently they're do
ing IT.
She made her first sortie in her
laundress's prince-nez the other day.
She walked unconcernedly into the city
library. strolled on down the street
and through a couple Of department
stores and ended with a promenade
past the city han. And wherever she
went a ring Of inquisltive citizens sur
rounded her. Finally she halted to ex-
plain her mission-and a riot call was
sent in for ~patrolmen to dispel the
crowd, Even at that, though, Mrs
Austin had time to say:
I'm wearing the c~lothespin to SCI
people thinking. The public apparently
