They ask to- be called upon in time
of distress. They will use lawful

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIIANDER JOHNSON.
Always a Candidate.

Always Candidate.
My Uncle Jim's a candidate
For an official place
And he's q man, want to state,
OF intellectual grace
He knows all kinds of politics,
Domestic and abroad,
And how to show up any tricks
OF bribery or fraud.
He's been a candidate for years.
The fact each paper notes.
He gets the compliments and cheers
But never gets the votes.
It's never in the cards for him
The heights Of fame to touch.
We're sort of scared Of Uncle Jim,
Because he knows too much.

More Than 10000
Signs Mark High
Ways to So. Cal.

Few motorists realize the big part
the friendly sign post plays in max
ing pleasant the motor journeys of
visitors in Southern California. The
native passes these monitors of the
highways with hardly thought, but
TO the new conner they are the bea
con lights of comfort and safety.
When it was announced some time
ago that Southern California high
ways might boast of 81 sign a
mile' the news heralded very def
mite service. The most active agent
ir the sign posting is the Automobile
Club Of Southern California, which
has extended its friendly activities
through neighboring states to the
Mississippi river. tlr
This marking of the principal
travel lanes has been followed out
SO completely that now the great
service organization for motorists is
able to announce that it has placed n
highway sign in excess of one for
each member. All of which means
something when it is considered that
the roll cali Of the auto club has
passed the 10000 mark.

EgRS. ALICE HARTMAN, stu
ISs dent and collector of bells, has
Ava just solved, with the help of
several authorities on Russian history
and language, the riddle Iof the old
brass church bell that has been hang
ing for 62 years in the Del Vale
ranch house in. Southern California.
This ranch was the early home of
Ramona, the Californian maid, famed
in story.
This bell, it appears, was cast on
the island of Kodiak, off the coast of
Alaska in 1896, and was later traded
for food by Count Mcolai Resenov to
the Hispanic Californians, when the
colonists were in dan
ger of starvation. The franciscan
friars then in charge of the chain of
Californian missions hammered rude
cross and the inscription "De Sn
IFerno" (of San Fernando) on the bell
just above the Russian legend, which
was almost obliter ated.
Mrs. Hartman sought the aid of
DR.. Herbert E. Boulton, historian;
Rev. A. P. Kasheveroff, curator of the
Alaskan Historical Society Museum,
and DR.. Alexis Kali, of Los Angeles,
a student of ancient languages, and
they puzzled out the old inscription as
follows: .-...
"1796-In the month Of January,
1876, this bell was cast on the Island
of Kodiak through the generosity of
Arch-Mandrite Joasaph and elected.

trouble he took. Baranoff went to
Sitka in 1905 and took the bell with

the bell to California to trade it for

ooMMIss1oNER Has HARD Lor

The lot Of q Commissioner of
Safety Is hard. Chosen by the peo-
pie to draft and enforce ordinances
and regulations in the interest OF
public safety, he finds that the very
constituents who vested him with
his authority. are the hardest to save
from themselves. Ask him II It ia
not In the violation of the rules. II
delegated him to promulgate. and
upon which It thereby puts the seal
of approval. that the public suffers
the greatest loss Of life and limb.
Inquire Of him II the people do not
expect him to protect them and theirs
and at the same instant by their own
acts wantonly mako it impossible.
Get his traffic officers to tell what
they know about the Inconsistency,
the determined recklessness, of the
selfsame public that hired them for
protection. An Illuminating instance
has Just come to light from figures
recently compiled.
In the year 1891, the total cas-
ualties to persons. exclusive Of en-
ployes, In railway collisions and de-
railments we're 1862 killed and 2,758
injured. During the same period
there were exclusive OF railway en-
ployes, 1855 persons killed and
1854 injured in highway grade
crossing accidents, by getting on or
off cars or locomotives, and through
trespassing on railway property.
Thus 1t ecu in railway activity
that when the public acts either
wholly or partially on it's own i'm
pulses there are nearly twenty-five
times as many people killed, and
three times as many injured as when
it yields to the Judgment of rail-
way officers. In other words, only
about IS per cent, or less than me
fifth, of the casualties are entirely
beyond the control of the victim.
To put it still another way, when
a person exercises his own violation,
he is four times as likely to incur
disaster as when restrained by the
well established regulations of rail-
way operation. Accident statistics
in every day life are still more IL
in this respect. The
natural tendency of society, indi-
vidually and collectively to chafe un-
der restraint for the common good
OF all, is the greatest bar to the
conservation of life and limb. The
in%exorable tolls fixed for the care
less are paid by the masses. Guard
ians Of public safety surely do have
a time with their charges.
