Turkey Brood
Stolen By Dog

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. l.. =
Many animal mothers, when drpriN-
OF their young. have adopted tie
offspring of another species, but the
strangcst case of this sort on rec
ord in the Pacific northwest is the
ease of Il female pointer dog steal
ing q flock of baby turkeys.
The mother dog had L puppies
which were taken from her and
killed. About the same time =
turkey hen, owned by thc dog $
master, hatched ten sturdy young
stcrs. The dog chased the hen
away and appropriated the entire
brood.
When the theft was discovered,
the dog had nine Of the turkeys
carefully huddled about her and the
tenth was reclining between her
paws. She was scrubbing the tur-
KEY chick with her tongue.

CRIMSON TIDE"
HAS EXCELLENT
CRIDIR0N RECORD

PASADENA, Dec. l7.-Coach
Wallace Wade's University of Ala
bama grid eleven comes to the Pa
cific coast for the second eonsecu.
tive year, for its game against the
Stanford team here New Year $
day. with a splendid record.
The Crimson Tide has swept prac-
tically everything before it since
Wade took over its direction in
1923. In four years-l923, 1924,
1925 and 1926, the Alabamans have
played thirty-eight games, losing
three, ticing one, and winning thir
tv-fOur. They have scored the stag
gering total of 969 points, an aver
age of more than twenty-five per
game and have yielded but l20, an
average of little more than three
per contest.
The southerncrs have not lost Il
football game since being defeated
by Centre College, 40 in 1924. Last
year, Wade pilotcd the Tide through
an undefeated season, topping tn"
year off with 20-l9 victory over
the University of Washington. In
the regular 1926 season, the Tide
men have rolled up 242 digits TO
twenty for their opponents in win
ming nine straight games.
The fact that Alabama has yield
cd but twenty points in nine games
speaks volumes for the defense
Coach Wade has developed. In nine
contests, the southerners have per
mitted their goal line to be crossed
hut three times and on each Occa-
sion won the game in question with
plenty to spare. That the Crimson
Tide has met some high class teams
is a foregone conclusion, hut it Is
impossible that il has been called
upon to solve such Il powerful and
deceptive attack as "Pop" Warner
has developed in the Cardinal elev-
en-.
Both the Cardinals and Tidemen
ARE now working at top speed in
preparation for the all-important
New Years Day fracas and the riv'
al players are reported TO be in
fGst class condition.

end the cost gradually increases for
the better grade accommodations.
The average trip will cost about
$500.
1t is estimated that the minimum
of time required to make the Paris
journey from the port Of embarka-
ton in the United States will b.
four weeks. The actual time re-
Guired will be modified by the dis
tanec the Legionnaire lives from
the ports of embarkation and the
time he desires to spend abroad aft
CT the convention. Housing faeili-
ties in Paris and steampship facili-
ties limit the number of Legion
naires who can make the journey To

advises Lesionnaircs desiring TO
make the France convention trip to
get their reservations in promptly
in order that they may be assured
of place with their state delcga-
tions.

STORMY I'm E
IN LEGISLATURE
IS ANTICIPATED
Many Problems Must Be
Solved When Assembly
Meets Next Month
BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. Il. --
The storm signals are set and Sac
iramento is ready for the beginning
of the forty-seVenth California state
, legislature 4 session which. ac-
cording TO all the signs, is destined
/ 10 be one of the most turbulent in
recent wears.
! The gavelS of Lieutenant Cover
, nor Buron Fits in the senate and
! Chief Clerk Arthur \. Ohnimus in
! the assembly will rap those cham
! bers to order at 10 o clock January
! ,. and the first legislative session
under the new administration of
Governor c. {. Young will be under
way.
How the senators will proceed to
legislate themselves out of jobs. as
required by the new reapportion
ment law passed by the voters at the
I last election, is a matter of much
speculation.
/ The new law SAYS emo one county
shall have more than one senator.
That means such counties rs Los An
geles. san Francisco, Alameda and
; Santa Clara must get rid Of several
senator Who must walk the plank
and who shall remain is the question
that is puzzling state officialdom.
The legislature will probably en-
act another law to put the new meas
ure into effect. Such 4 law will
then 90 before the people. That will
delay it awhile. Political experts
hold that all senators now serving
will finish their full terms.
Appointment Of tax commission
to study the tax problems of the
state looms as one of the first tasks
of Governor-elect C. C. Young, ac
cording to his friends.
Governor elect Young has fre
quentlv pointed out that affixed ex-
penditures OF California will soon
oyertop all possible sources OF reve-
nue. under the present tax system.
Reorganize Highways
Reorganization plans for the state
highway commission, state board of
control and the state board of edu
cation are being considered by
Young. AS the board of education
is composed Of Richardson ap-
pointees. it is not unlikely that steps
will be taken to abolish it, or render
it ineffective.
San Francisco's delegation has
organized behind a solid front to
put over Edgar c. Levey of the
twenty-eighth district as speaker OF
the assembly. San Francisco law
makers point to the fact that they
are 100 per cent progressive, in har-
monv with the new administration.
and that they haven't had a speak
er for 20 years.
Others in the field for the speak
ership are Percy West of Sacramen-
10, groomed by farm interests; Isaac
Jones Of San Bcrnardino, progress
sivc caucus selection two years ago:
Bradford Crittenden of Tracy, far
mer-labor selection, and Charles 7.
Reindollar of Marin county.
Retiring Governor Friend W. Rich
ardson has approximately 80 Of
fices he can fill before he leaves on
the round-the-world tour after he
lays by the gubernatOrial mantle.
Two of these offices, the $4,000
,, wear railroad commission member
ships, are the most important, and
viii probably 90 to incumbents, Har-
ley W. Brundige and Leo Whitsen.
1t is also reported the governor
! will reward Fletcher Bowron, his
private secretary with superior
iudgcship in Long Beach.

BELL URGES CARE
OF PARK SPACES
Asks Business Men and Citi-
zens to Keep Areas Clean
and Neat.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association was appealed to yesterday
afternoon by Engineer Commissioners
Bell to take an active interest in hav-
ing public parks in front of business
! properties kept clean and free from
unauthorized distractions ana activi-
ties"
The Commissioner at the same time
urged the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations to encourage property own
ers to keep the weeds from growing
unchecked in public parkings.
The Commissioner appeal was con-
tanned in letters he wrote to Ross r.
Andrews, president of the business
group, and Jesse c. Suter, president
of the Citizens Federation.
The letter to Mr.. Andrews read:
1.-THE public parkings in front OF buei-
ness and residence properties are IN
care of the abutting property owners;
The use of these parkings is restricted
by law and regulation, but on the
other hand the property owners 90
not have to pay taxes for these areas.
We would appreciate it greatly ifyour
association would take an active, in-
trest in having public parkings IN
front of business properties kept ctean
and free from unauthorized ohstruc-
tions and activities This will add to
the appearance Of our city, IS IN the
interest of better business, and Is only
fair to- the great majority OF your
members who take an interest," in the
appearance and proper use OF this
public space"
The letter to Mr.. Suter follows:
Property owners are expected to
take proper care of the public park,
ings abutting their property. In some
sections of the Woodbridge.

example-the home owners take great
pride in the appearance of the public.

city the public parkings are neglected.
and weeds are permitted to grow un.
checked. Weeds should be cut
promptly to prevent their becoming
a menace to public health The marked
success that has attended the efforts
Of certain citizens associations in this
regard leads me to suggest that you
make more effort to have all associa-
tions interest themselves in keeping
their areas free of weeds at least.

SWISS, ANGRY AT DOGS
DEATH, HAS BIG SURPRISE
Animal He Asked 80 Francs for
Killed by Auto-King Hands
Him 1.OOO-Franc Note.

BERN, October 20 Correspond
ence).--A butcher from Bern and a
mountaineer from the Appenzall were
arguing over the price Of a dog at a
street intersection in the Breitenrain
quarter of Bern. The peasant want
ed 80 francs, the butcher would give
but 60.
A huge Rolls-Royoe car, dark blue
carrying a royal OF coat Of arms
whirled around the corner and rar
over the cause of the controversy.
Infuriated at his Ill fortune, the
owner of the canine demanded indem
nifty. Without revealing himself. the
man in the car, probably at the behest
Of the two women who accompanied
him, handed the chauffeur bill
which was rendered to the peasant.
When the peasant unfolded the note
he found that it was Of 1,0OO-frano
denomination. Later he learned that
the donor was Albert, King OF the
Belgians.
Gendarmes were called upon to de-
eide whether the butcher, as prospec
tive purchaser Of the dog, was en-
titled to a division Of the spoils.
