NATIVE SONS MAKE RECORD
 ON CRIDIRON

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9. - New chapters in the football history of the Pacific Coast were written by the University of California eleven the last three seasons, in which it scored the record breaking number of 27 victories without one defeat. Only one game, that against Washington and Jefferson, was tied
 The powerful California scoring machine, rated one of the strongest in the nation, piled up 1920 points in it's 28 games during the three seasons and held it's opponetns to 80 points. The Bears have scored 15 points to every one scored by an opposing team over the period.
 California, during the three sea sons, met the strongest teams it could find. All the Pacific Coast Conference elevens, including Wash ington States, Oregon, Southern Cali fornia, Stanford and Washington were played and defeated. In addition, the Bears two years ago won from Ohio State, then champions of the Big Ten, and attepted to play Princeton Yale or Harvard but game could not be arranged
 During the three years the high est score made by California was 127 points, made against the weaker St. Marys College eleven. In that game the Bears scored an average of 2.1 points a minute. Another record score of 3S-0 was made by California in 1920 in the 'big game" against its old rival, Stanford,
 This year may find weaker team at California because eight of the Bear veterans, stars for three years, will be graduated in the spring. Among them are Brick" Miller, all American end, Duke" Morrison, who ranks among the highestscoring full backs in the country, and Art Erb, quarterback, one of the greatest field generals ever developed on the coast.
 And Smith, California coach, how ever, has another eleven in prepara- tion for this year which observers believe will take it's place above the average Western team.

KING OF B0OTLEGCERS
 DECIDES GO TO WORK

SPOKANE, Jan. 9.-With the an nouncement that he believes he will get further by honesty than by sell ing liquor, Charles Dale, known To- cally as King of the Bootleggers, says that he has decided to give up law-breaking and has gone to work at his old trade, meat cutting.
 "I'm off the stuff for life,' said Dale, when questioned regarding his bootlegging activities. "If the public will just forget, that is all l ask. I had a lot of time for reflection while I was doing time at Moscow Idaho, and I reached the decision there that there was nothing to be gained by breaking the liquor laws.
 'I've probaly handled nearly ST. 900 00O since 1912 and I have but lit tie left, so there is no chance Of beating the bootlegging game out of much more than a living. In times gone by I was known as a good meat cutter, and I know I can come back"
 Dale is credited by members of the local dry squad and police force with being square shooter" even though he engaged in liquor running and wholesaling over period of several years.

LIFE OF MANNEQUIN IN j,
 PARIS NOT ALL ROSEz

PARIS, Jan. g, Youth, beauty and grace-these three are the essential qualities of mannequin, declare the fashion designers in Paris who are beseiged daily by women seeking employment.
 Lured by the anticipated pleasure of wearing pretty gowns, women of all classes and of widely-yarying ages are applying to the fashion houses of the Rue de la Paix and the Champs Elysees. Some are no longer in the bloom of youth, others are young enough but very ungain- ly. Many ot them were formerly ill easy circumstances, but have been forced to seek work as a result of the war. Persuading themselves that one needs to be but tall and slender in order to show off handsome gown, they desire to take up the profession" of exhibiting models. All this has raised the question: Can a woman became a mannequin without training?
 "In general" answers Poiret, "the recruiting of a mannequin is some thing like that of a pupil of the Paris Conservatory. About six months of study are necessary-study of the conventional gestures and the art of walking. Youth and beauty are natural gifts, but the ability to pre- sent a frock to the best advantage can only be acquired after months of study of beautiful attitudes, eX- cept in the case of few rare stars who seem born to the trade. The final test nearly always comes With the way she can wear a coat and the tres decollete robe. There are many
 recruits who must be told after few weeks that they will never have beautiful gowns, for they do not know how to wear them
 Many of the would-be models were formerly in society or literary circles and imagine that the only work a mannequin has to do is to show, off lovely robes, forgetting there is a rougher side to the picture, for man. nequins have to spend weary hours trying on" robes when they are being created and retouched. TO many little Parisiennes and country girls the salon of the fashionable dfessmaker exerts the same attrac- ton as the stage. There are lux urious rooms, with soft carpets ana low light and on the big days or the seasons openings there is music and a crowd of chic people. Tales are told of the brilliant marriages or manneuuins, now become important women of society, forgetting to men, tion others who have had lament able end-and their number is legion.

WHAT THE KING SAID
 A HUNDRED YEARS AGO

LONDON, Jan. 9.-The pomp and ceremony attending the opening of Parliament probably attracts more attention in the House of Lords than do the words of the Kings speech, but the last address from George V, delivered a few days ago, contained no interpolation such as was once made in a speech from the throne by George ".
 It is asserted that when he was regent, George " made a bet with Richard Sheridan, the dramatist, that so little attention would be paid 10 the reading of his speech that he could interpolate any nonsense he liked without anyone showing sur prise.
 The bet was accepted. The Regent paused in the course of the address and said distinctly "Baa, baa, black sheep,' and then went on. No one took notice of the strange words. Chagrined at the loss of his wager, Sheridan asked George Canning, the Premier, if he had noticed anything strange.
 "Oh, yes" said Canning. q heard the Prince say "Baa, baa black sheep" but as he was looking straight at you at the time, I took it for personal allusiOn"
