Los Angeles, Calif.-Because James

he was arrested on a charge of steal

Judge Baird's court, where the boy
was granted probation after having
pleaded guilty to a technical charge
Of operating a car without the consent
Of the owner
According to the probation officers
report in the case, McDermOtt re-
ceived his bOyhOod training in the
boy scouts, and after he attained his
majority he continued to remember
the admOnitiOn Of the boys Organiza-
ton to "dO a good deed every day."
SO when McDermOtt was walking
by Echo park one day he noticed an
automobile that apparently had been
abandoned and he decided he would
do his good deed for that day by re-
turning the car to its owner. The
car was the property Of G. D. Behrent,

stopped to inquire Of two policemen
how to locate the address.
He was taken into custody for steal.

There was a striking tendency away

The culOtte or dance set dominated
the showing Of lingerie for wear dur

There was a gorgeous showing of

PAUPER CRAVE REVEALS
FATE OF NOTED DOCTOR
Famed Californian Was Picked up
as DereIlet by the Police o.
Utica, N. Y.

Berkeley, Calif.-A tale Of the
strange fate of a once famous scion
of One Of Americas oldest families,
came to light in dispatches from
Utica, N. Y, reporting the body of
DR.. George Hillegass had been taken
from a pauper's grave and was to be
brought to the San Francisco bay re-
giOn for final burial.
Doctor Hillegass, one Of the earliest
settlers here, a graduate Of the Uni
versity Of California, and distin-
guished in civic and medical life,
dropped from sight in 1913. Old and
broken and apparently penniless, he
died a public charge in a hospital in
Utica in 1925 and was buried in a
public cemetery after efforts to find
friends or relatives had failed.
The dim beginnings Of the story
might be traced back to the Revolu-
tionary war when Michael HiIlegass
rebelled against the power Of Great
Britain and threw his influence and
wealth to the cause Of the struggling
colonies. His picture adOrns some Of
the $40 gold notes of the country to-
day.
Historians Of the family here trace
DR.. George Hillegass' ancestry to MI
chael Hillegass.
Doctor Hillegass, one Of the noted
physicians Of his time, is credited with
having given to the University Of Cali
fornia much Of the land included
within the present campus and with
having developed extensive holdings
in other districts of Berkeley and Oak
land. A Berkeley avenue Is named fol
the family.

BLOOD INFUSION
HALTS MEASLES
Few Drops From Parent Found
To Be Effective Preventive,
Asserts Expert

Infusion of a few drops of parental
blood into a child will prove an eff
fective preventive against measles,
according to DR.. Rudolph Degkwitz,
director of the clinic for childrens
diseases at the University of Griefs-
valid, Germany.
Professor Degkwitz has been work
ing on a measles serum at the hy-
gienis laboratory Of the United
States public health service, recOg-
nizing that, while such dread cpl
demic diseases as typhoid, malaria,
cholera and dysentery no longer are
a serious menace, the less feared
germs of measles, ~whOoping cough
and influenza continue to BATTLE sci
ence.
Spread Of those three diseases, he
holds, is facilitated by the growing
tendency of populations to cOncen-
trate in cities.
Explaining his blood incubation
theory, Professor Degkwitz, who
ranks as n Of Germany's foremost
authorities on measles, asserts;
ct is a we'll known fact that the
blood of a former victim is proof
against subsequent infection, and, as
it is commonly assumed that every
adult person once was afflicted with
measles, it's blood carries the natural
germ which ensures immunity against
a second attack. It's TRANSMISSION in.

thus produced to check measles ever
if the patient has already reached

Lack of Funds Likely to Delay Opening

Even If William Phillips. the new
Minister of Canada, and Frederick A.
Sterling, the new Minister to the
Irish Free State, were willing and
able to waive their salaries until July
1 and assume their new duties i'm
mediately, the question of housing the
legations and of clerk hire for them
would still have to be met. The
necessary funds for these purposes,
as we'll as the payment of the salaries
of the ministers to those countries
during the remainder Of the present
fiscal year, were included in the de-
ficiency bill.
The State Department is still hope
full, 1t was said today, that something
may be done in this matter. 1t is
anxious to send these diplomats to
their posts, to which they have been
appointed by the President and con-
firlned by the Senate, as soon as pos
