Histnric Dead Sea.

The Dead sea, lake in Asiatic Tur-
key and lying near the southern ex-
treinity OF Palestine, probably got its
name because its atmosphere was Tor
nlerly supposed to be fatal to iife--an
erroneous idea, for the people who
live on it's banks are said to be In the
enjoyment of good health. But fish
cannot live In Its waters, which are
especially nauseating. The JORDAN
and six other rivers flow into the
Dead sea, which has no outlet, Dus
gets rid of its surplus by evaporation
In the Bible this baneful body OF wa
ter is called the Salt Sea Of the Plains
and Sea Of the Arabah.

 Take Ed Koh1er for instance He inherited about a million "bucks" when an uncle died in New York two years ago. So Ed began to clip cou- pons as a profitable pastime. But he varies that delightful diversion by taking fares on the Pasadena Short like any everyday conductor. When Kohler inherited his fortune he took a three months leave of ab- sence to settle up his uncle's estate and then returned to his old Job as conductor, much to the surprise of 'T thought I'd rather work for the company than buy it' he explained.

WEST END.

Bebe Daniels, piquant Rea1art star, will be seen in dual role in her next picture. 1.-Two Weeks With Pay" which is scheduled for tonight at the West End theatre.
 The plot revolves around a case of mistaken identity at a summer resort hotel, and Miss Daniels plays both the shop girl who is enjoying a short vacation, and a famous actress whom she resembles.
 The shop girl insists that she is not the actress, but the guests at the hotel prefer to believe that she really is the actress, resting tncognito, and they insist on showering attentions on the dismayed girl until the real actress appears and the mystery is cleared up to everybody's complete satisfaction.
