plea for statewide cooperation to
prevent another outbreak of fire in
the forests of the state was voiced
by federal district forester, Paul
G. Redington today, as the second
crisis of the season was believed
passed.
"While the decrease in the num-
Der of serious fires during the past
ten days is very gratifying, it must
not be taken by the public as an
indication that all is well,' Red
ington said.
"The situation is still very acute
and fire conditions are becoming
more serious daily. There are two
months ahead of us during which
we must exercise eternal vigilance.
every loyal citizen of Californi;,
must lend his hearty support to for
est officers and others in charge of
fire prevention work, in the enforce
ment of closing regulations, which
it has been found necessary to place
upon our federal forest areas.

season, Redington said, and the I'M

100000 Suit Is
Echo of "Betless
Racing in Cal.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 40
Betless racing III California was
nursing its first slap in the face
today following the filing of dam
age suit for 100000 by John d.
Stelling. general manager of the
Pacific Coast jockey club, against
j. W. Marchbank, millionaire sports
man.
Stelling accuses Marehbank of
slandering him before officials of
the jockel club by charging him with
accepting money to protect book
makers at Tanforan race track.
Marchbank denied ever having
made such charges against Stelling
but. admitted that he had discussed
rumors with Rudolph and Howard
SpreckeIs that were afloat connect
ing StelIiug with a betting ring.
Rudolph Spreckels, one of the
chief hackers of the club, is of the
opinion that Marchbank did make
the charges. He said he could prove
it if given three or four days.
Stelling denies ever having any
thing to do with bookmakers, as
setting that he threw such persons
out on their ears whenever he saw
them at the track.

The screen version of Gene STRAIT
ton POrter's famous novel, GA Girl
of the LimberlOst, - the feature at

Ire, is certain to please all who see
it. Especially those who have read
the book, for Elnora seems 10 step
from the printed pages onto the
screen in I; good, wholesome, tender
love story.
The story Of "a Girl of the Linn,

and her struggle for an education
in spite of the opposition of her
mother and her distorted hatred of
the child because of consuming
aud misplaced love for an erring
husband who met n terrible death
on the night the baby girl was
born. The love affair Of the girl
and the victory of her sweet and
loving nature over the jealous OPP
position of her school companions
is simply and interestingly told.
The other roles Of the picture

W0n1er1's Interests
IDEAS THAT WILL MAKE A HOUSE
INTO HOME FOR ALL TO ENJOY

What makes a home homey2'
Most of us would answer this ques-
iion by saying it is some intangi-
bic quality that cannot be exactly
figured out. But as matter Of
fact this result is accomplished to
great extent simply by arranging
the furniture in co2y ways about
the rooms.

perhaps set in its angle, inelines

II means more than almost any
one other factor in home-making.
When we compare the illumination
under which our grandmothers
worked and our own today, we are
bound to experience deep gratitude
because we live iii This great age.
Swapping on and off light Is
better than filling and cleaning
lamps, lighting matches and
swallowing sulphur smoke. We
live in our living rooms. We don t
fcN sunlight out for fear of fad
ing carpets ,as our ancestors did.
In cottage in the mountains
of Massachusetts. where the living
room had eight doors ,and a grape
vine grew right under the clap
boards and intruded into the
room, the floor was covered with
rag carpet. The furniture was SIM
pie, but the room possessed an un-
accountable charm. Each door that
opened out of the room made one
think of the chapter of a book. The
room itself had begun as a s'lean-
to- kitchen. Then as children
came, additions were built around
the room, until it became the cen
ter of struggling cottage, and
when the doors were opened, it
radiated a cozy invitation that drew
all to its bright fireside.
Study your room and hang the
draperies in some original way that
just suits it. Don t try to hang
them as someone else has. Work out
your own ideas, always keeping
in mind.
