 John Nevelle, of Babbitt's, who used to live around Brawley, in the I'm perial Valley, Cal, says it's the hot test place in the world. He tells about some one in New York writing to a friend whose address he didn't know beyond the fact that he was some where in the vicinity of the desert. He addressed the letter,
 "John Thompson, He'll"
 The postoffice department forwarded the letter to Tuba City, Ariz. The. postmaster there marked it "Missent," and forwarded it to Fl Centro, Cal.

 Capt. w. w. Hearne says he's wear ing that blonde baby mustache of his because he cut his lip while shaving about three weeks ago, so has decided to "let the mustache ride," and that he likes it anyway, because it takes some of the Chinese lines away from his face.
 Dr.. Paul Finn rises to the music of an alarm clock. That is, he so regu- lates the clock that the music always begins at the time he decides the night before that he is going to get up.
 Doc contracted bad habit, how ever, of regularly turning off the alarm of the clock which he kept un- der his pillow, and going back to sleep. He decided this wouldn't do, and not long ago adopted another method. He wound the alarm clock and set it as far across the room, as far away from the bed, as he could.
 Next morning, the alarm went off as usual. Doc~got up, went over the clock, shut it off, took it in his arms and laid down on floor with it and went to sleep again.
