1000 Delegates Attending Convention
OF Spanish War Veterans on Coast
Havana 10 Making Strong Bid
for Organizations Mseting

in Race.
BY International News Service.


LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug.
21.-Los Angeles and southern
California donned their "best
bib and tucker" and displayed
literally the national colors in
honor Of the twenty-fourth
annual encampment and re-
union of the United Spanish
War Veterans, which opened
here today and will last
through next Friday.
When Commander-in-C Chief
Oscar E. Carlstrom, Of Aledo.
ILL.,, called the veterans to
order today it was claimed
that 5000 delegates and 10000
visitors were present. Simul.
taneous with the opening Of
the veterans meet the women
of the national auxiliary also
got under way for a conven-
ton to last through the
25th.
Pension Bill Up.
Many important business matter
will come before the dual conven-
tions, but it was authoritatively
stated today that among the out
standing objects of the business
sessions, both by the men and the
women, will be to adopt vigorous
measures to stir the United States
Senators to a mood Of passing the
bill for widows and orphans OF the
veterans.
The bill increases the pensions OF
widows from $12 to $50 a month
and of orphans under sixteen years
of age from 81 to 81 a month. II
passed Congress last February, but
has been held up in the Senate by
Senator W. H. King of Utah.
The Ku Klux Klan, with which
California, especially the southern
part, has had a bitter experience,
Is bound to come up for discussion
and action. Other Pacific coast
States have the khan organization
under investigation, and it is be-
lieved the convention delegates
from those States will join with the
California delegation in condemn
ing the organization, as did the
California Department Of Spanish
War Veterans at their State con-
vention. It was denounced as un-
American and unnecessary in our
body polite. The japanese ques-
tion also Is sure to bob up in some
form.

granted the privilege OF naming ons

Now the City stood on mighty hill;

Rosebud Breaks Into Shoot

Flowers seem SO highly specialized
that one does not associate them with
the vegetative or growing part OF the
plant. Yet there is no doubt tnat
blossoms have had leafy origin even
though this Is not always very OBVIOUS.
A strange case of flower breaking
way into a shoot is recorded. A rose
bush growing in a garden In Natal
South Africa, was responsible for the
curiosity. The bud, instead Of expand
ing into a flower. sent up stalk, at
