WOMEN PERSISTENT
 LOSERS BECAUSE
 PAUCITY OF POCKETS

LOS ANGELES, May 11.-(P- Women are persistent losers; they drop, mislay or walk off and leave purses and parcels with a frequency ten times as great as men, says All fred T. Clothier, custodian of the lost and found department of the Los Angeles street railway and stud ent of the losing habits of mankind.
 Nine out of ten lost articles re- turned to their owners through his department turn out to have been lost by women, Clothier relates His theory is that women lose more than men because they have fewer pock- cts, but he admits he has not yet discovered why mothers will get off street cars with their babies and leave baby buggies behind.
 Men make more fuss over what they lose, however, than do women, according to records of the lost and found bureau. An outstanding case was the man who lost his false teeth and would not be consoled un- til he recalled that eff they don't fit the finder any better than they did me, they won't do him much good"
 Travelling bags and suitcases left on street cars frequently contain pug zling combinations of articles, Cloth fer says. One recently found, be- longing to woman, contained two dainty silk undergarments, a long sharp butcher knife and a pearl necklace. Another, the property of man, held pair of rubber boots with S4,750 in currency stuffed in the toes, bottle of whisky and a suit of athletic underwear.
 One of the most unpleasant finds reported was box containing a live rattlesnake boasting thirteen rattles. It was claimed by an Arizonan who said he had brought it here to be stuffed. Another parcel contained half a mans head. A student of anatomy was taking it home under his arm for further study, but left it on the seat when the conductor called his street.

Outdoor Sports In Brazil
 Flourish Under Hot Sun

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 11.-(P)- South American soccer football vic tories in Europe have not surprised people who are acquainted with the local development of athletics. Soccer, or association football is as popular in Brazil as baseball in the United States. Every city and village has it's teams, composed of young men and boys, and the children are always kicking balls about. There is ample opportunity to practice the game, as the official play ing season is nine months in length. the only exceptions being December, January and February which are gen. erally too hot for contests.
 The three leading football nations in South America are Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina, with Uruguay leading in the international championship games.
 Recent Brazilian victories in Paris and the Uruguayan's yuccess at the Olympic games last year are based on the fact that the South Americans play faster game and take more or less chances.
 Rio de Janiero is said to have the largest and best equipped private ath- letic club in South America It is located near the center of the ci;y and cost s3,OO0,00O. A stadium seats 10000 people. All branches of ath- letics are played hy the members, foot pall, basketball, tennis, volley ball, water polo, swimming, shooting, ana there are classes for boxing, fencing and gymnastics.

London Diners Now May
 Dance in Restaurants

LONDON, May 11.-(P)-Menus have been set to music in London. Restauranters have taken this step in an effort to keep pace with the dancing craze, and at the same time keep the pots in the kitchens boiling. Dancing between courses, it is main tained, whets the appetite and tones up the system, this being the con- enion years ago of Barbary Coast dance hall managers in San Fran cisco, where the idea of whirl on the hard-woods after each dish is said to have originated.
 The menus are so arranged with the music in some of the popular London cafes that the liners may en- joy one course after another with out skipping a single blast of the saxophone which gives them the sig nal to take the dancing floor.

THREE YEAR PROGRAM
 OF ECLiPSES MADE BY
 U. s. NAVAL SCIENTISTS

WASHINGTON, D. O., May H. P)-Prolonged study of the vagaries of the sun and moon has enabled sci entiSts of the United States Naval Observatory here to work out their eclipses for the next three years. Under the direction of Captain w. s. Eichelberger, IT. s. N, they now are starting on the 1929 eclipses.
 An annular eclipse of the sun-an eclipse where the rim of the sun shows outside of the eclipsed area is forecast for July 2O-21, this year, but will be invisible in the United States. A partial eclipse of the moon is due August I. being more or less visible in the eastern states and wholly visible on the Pacific coast.
 There will be no eclipse of the moon next year but there will be a total eclipse of the sun on January II, 1926. It will be visible only from Africa to the Indian Ocean, and the naval observatory will send party from here to Sumatra to ob- serve it. An annular eclipse of the sun will be visible July 9-10, 1926. in the central Pacific Ocean, and as a partial in northern Australia, the eastern edge of Asia, the United States and Mexico
 In 1927, there will be five eclipses three of the sun and two of the moon. Seven eclipses in year is the maximum, five of the sun and two of the moon, and the least number in twelve month is two, both of the sun, as will be the case in 1926.
 An annular solar eclipse, visible in the southern Pacifc, will occur January 3, 1927 A total of the moon, June 15, will be visible in the At lantic Ocean, North America, ex- cept the northern border, South Am erica and the Pacific Ocean. A total of the sun, June 29, will be visible in Europe, appearing as near-total at Nome, Alaska. Another total of the moon in 1927 will take place De- cember 8, visible generally in the Pacific Ocean and in the northern part of North America. A partial eclipse of the sun will occur on De- cember A.
 Another heavenly phenomenon will be seen in 1927 in the transit of Mer- cury, which will appear as a dot on the sun. On November 10 the trans it will take place, visible generally in the Pacific Ocean, Australia and Asia, except in the northern and western portions. It will be visible at Honolulu, Manila and Samoa.
 Tn 1928 three of the sun and two of the moon will be the order of eclipses. Captain Eichelberger con- siders that the total solar eclipse of May 19, that year, will be a curi- ous one, only part of the resulting shadow falling on the earth, appear ing as a piece on the south of Afri- ca, and the southern part of South America. A total of the moon, June 3, will be visible in thewestern parts of North and South America, the Pa cifc Ocean, Australia and the east ern border of Asia. Partial solar eclipses will occur June IT and Mo- vember 27, visible in the western hemisphere.

BERLIN, May 11.-iP)- The stabil- ization of money in Germany has caused an imitation of love. The num- Der of marriages has steadily in- creased since the rentenmark landed on a firm basis in 1924, and is rapidly approaching pre-war figures.
 Prices of furniture are higher than before the war, but since young cou- ples today know their money has a stable value, they are willing to take the plunge into matrimony which looked too uncertain in the days when their paper money was dropping every hour.

England Lacks Its Quota
 of Marriageable males

CONES, England, May 11.-(P)- Many thousands of English girls wish to marry, but because of the shortage of men have not been able to fulfill their desire, declared Dr. A. T. Schofield, we'll known Lon- don nerve specialist, featuring in Cowes recently on the question of marriage. There is no other place in the world where such a state of things exists" he said.
 Continuing Dr. Schofield asserted: : Tt is unfortunate to find in a fam fly in London, for instance, five or six girls, every one of whom would make splendid wife and mother, unable to marry for the want of leg itimate opportunity"

PRINCE EiTEL NOW A FARMER

POTSDAM, May 11.-(P>-Eitel Friedrich, second son of eX-Emperor William II, calls himself farmer in the new city directory Of Potsdam. He omits the long list of military and hereditary titles which the Ho- lenzolierns have thus far added to their names in the city and telephone directories. The designation of prince is part of his name under pcscrev. olutionary German law, and not a ti- tie.

folks around the family fireside, just
what these people think of certain
legislation introduced but not acted
upon.
The result will reflect to the well
fare and benefit of the state. The
legislators are year after year, be-
coming more convinced that the state
does not want legislation but wants
less laws and more business at Olym-
pia.
This is what the curtailed session
has been: One of less legislation and
more strict attention to really essen
tial matters. Just what Governor
Roland H. Hartley will find to offer
to the legislature when he convokes
it in special session remains to be
seen. Even if he discovers when his
survey is completed, that there is lit
tie to be done in the way of curtail-
ment of governmental expenses, the
fact will always remain that he has
shown the way and the legislators
have acted upon it to reject every
thing except what can be labelled as
essential statewide legislation.
Of course there will be factions,
cliques, groups and associations, dis
appointed because certain purely self
ish legislation has been neglected.
However, this kind OF legislation has

HEAR ABOUT CANNED GRAPE.
FRUIT.

About fifty fruit growers attended a
luncheon at the Hotel Palace at the invi-
tation of H. H. Scoville to consider plans
for supporting the grapefruit canning
industry of the island.
Mr.. Scoville told the growers that ex.
perience had shown that there was a
future for canned grapefruit provided
the retail prices could be kept low enough
to make of it popular priced article. In
order to keep canned fruit on tie mar
ket, be said, it would be necessary for
the growers to furnish the Gamers with
a certain amount of fruit regardless of
Whether the price for fresh fruit was
high or low. Only by keeping canned
fruit before the public all the time, he
said, would it ever be possible TO develop
il to the point of large volume.
The growers considered a suggestion
to appoint a committee to discuss with
Mr.. Scoville a proposal to assure a Ger
tain volume of fruit for canning pur-
