MARY GARDEN AND CREMA-
TON

Mary Garden in an interview in Bos
ton expresses a desire to be married
and to be cremated. This leads the
Minneapolis Journal to remark:
s'How soon she wished one ceremony
to follow the other, she did not in,
'dicate. Much might depend upon cir
cumstances. Miss Garden has never
felt the rubbings Of the harness, and
it is possible that matrimony might
come a bit hard first-but one gets
used to things. That is to almost any
thing-except to cremation. That
puts the finishing touch. Miss Gar
den has her cremation arranged for.
Matrimony one cannot so easily plan
for. But cremation, one can arrange

a great body of water. She has chos-
en- Lake Michigan as her resting
place. The only danger is that one
might be carried of through the Chi
cago drainage canal into the Missis-
sippi and so to the gulf, and then on,
perhaps around the world. But, after
all, what difference does It maker

BOAT TRIP TO

After having learned from the

test out his ideas and see for my

looking thoughtf,slly but over the
harbor-"But I'm telling you" he
continued" that you won't find the
true Joy that you wanted if you were

there" pointing as he spoke at

on board as equally belated visitors

Many Foreign Ships
Slowly the boat backed out and
away from her berth and when out
in midstream where it was wider,
turned in large semi circle with her
PROV towards the outer harbor and
the ocean beyond.
As we move outward bound we
passed many foreign ships, freighters
and lumber boats from the north;
oil tank steamers outward bound for
eastern coast refineries with cargos
of oil; passenger boats from the east
and freighters OF all descriptions as
well as the smaller fishing boats COM
ing laden with their catch.
We passed lumber yards and lum-
Der barges, ships tied to the docks be-
ing scrubbed down. AS we came down
into the outer harbor, what a sight
greeted our eyes. To our right the
submarine base, abobve the city of San
Pedro proper and beyond, upon the
overlooking heights, was Fort Nc

their berths after a day of sea target

We passed on and rounding the
breakwater came into the channel be-

land To our left as we were then

bring thirty-six of them and help
keep up our average of 10000 new
laws annually. In addition to the
federal and state law-making bodies
there are some $4,000 city, town and
village councils and upwards of
5000 county 1egislatures-the best
of them all!-busily engaged in pro-

already overburdened public. 1t is a
