WHALES AND
PANTS

TINE sad story of a pair of
pants and also of their
owner--a seagoing native of the
Farce Islands who liked to catch
whales and stopped for nothing
when the whales hove in sight
is narrated by Elizabeth TAYLOR In
the last number Of The Forum
magazine. The Farce Islands de.
pend largely on whales for meat
and oil, and when the cry goes
up that whales are off the
islands. everyone drops his job
and runs. But few-it is to- be
hoped in the interests of modesty
are as enthusiastic as old Jor.
gen, who lived only for the shout
OF "Grindabud, which meant that
whales are in sight.
1T was old Jorgen's dearest
wish always to be in the first
boat that left shore after the
'Grindabud' was heard in the vii
lage. Not once had he failed
during almost sixty years. Then
one peaceful Sunday morning,
early, when weary men were
sleeping, sounded the 'Grindabud.'
The first shout awakened old
Jorgen. He sprang from his bed,
seized his grand-knife, and started
headlong for the shore. His old
wife pursued him, calling and
waving his trousers, but Jorgen
only shook his head impatiently
and raced onward. He didn't
want his trousers, he wanted to
go in the first boat. His trousers
went in the second boat, and they
met-hours later-far out at
sea-"

MARJORIE and her mother have
AVA just come back from the hills
Of North Carolina, where they
spent few weeks in the mothers
g1rlhood home. They had looked
forward to that visit for q long
time, and they went with the in
tent1on of remaining all summer
In the little cottage where the
mother spent summers in her
younger days. But they onlv
stayed a month and then returned
home,
The reason why is that Marjorie
was unhappy in that old-fashioned
village. Not because it was old
fashioned. for she loved the quaint
looking houses, the rose covered
fences, the hills and the trees, the
quietness of it all, and she loved
the gentle folks who were her
mothers friends. But the daugh-
ters of those gentle folk stopped
playing with Marjorie and that
made both her and her mother un.
happy.
You see Marjorie has always
gone to school in a big city where
boys and girls are not so careful
about their speech. They say
damn" and hell" without giving
1t a thought, and they take the
name of the Lord in vain upon
the slightest provocation or in the
course of the most ordinary con-

BANK FAILURES

tigation into the asserted embezzle-
ment of more than 100000 that
caused the collapse OF all banks in
Owens Valley was pushed by the
district attorneys office here to-
day but no arrests are expected to
be made for at least As hours.
An air of tense expectancy hung
over the valley towns as the people
milled about the streets i'll a dazed
fashion, following the disclosure OF
Win G. Wood, state superintendent
of banks, that the banks had not
failed as the result of "frozen -
loans on ranch properties but the
result of huge shortage.
While District Attorney Jess Hes.
sion of Inyo county would make no
direct statement, it was understood
that he is collecting evidence
against w. w. and Mark Waiter
son, brothers, who controlled the
banking institutions of Bishop, indie
pendence, Lone Pine and Big Pine
That warrants will be issued fol
the bankers was freely predicted
here today. Both refused to discuss
the matter other than to assert that
depositors would not lose through
the failure of their banks.

Woods statement is absolutely cor
rect District Attorney Hessior
said. Gas soon as sufficient eyi
denee of specific acts rof embezzle
ment are established, warrants viii
be secured for the arrest of the
guilty parties. The case will not be
taken before the Inyo county grand
jury, as that body has adjourned
but will 60 directly to justice court
for preliminary examination.

Valley 25 years ago., come here from

that the Wattersons attributed the
failure of their banks.
