What piteous spectacle is that OF a Los Angeles

down at a street-corner by hit and run driver.
He terms the driver murderer and such he is,
truly If he had taken his victims life by means
Of gun, knife poison.
What callous-hearted wretch he must be who
can be so devoid Of conscience to show sign of
remorse for having taken another's life. One can al
most picture him goating the fact that he has
escaped punishment for his act. If he has any
science what terrible he must be in he reads
of his victim father crying for justice.
Anyone who drives a car is likely to be so
fortunate to iniure seriously perhaps kill, fellow
human. 1t pity that such things happen, yet
even where driver may be wholly to blame he at
least retain the respect of his feoWman by accepting
the consequences of his act. If there is blame at
tached to him, the knowledge that he accepts
responsibility stamps him a true

Annulment Case
Quite Tangled

Another affidavit was filed in the
Adams anuulmcut ease at tLH cOun-
ty clerk 5 office yesterday. George
w. Adams was granted a decree of
annulmcnt from Ruth Adams some
time ago but the defendant later
filed an affidavit in which she held
that the case had been brought to
trial before she had ample opportnn-
ity to furnish witnesses and evil
dencc in her behalf.
Several affidavits were filed at
the time tending to show that the
plaintiff had been informed prior
to their marriage that the dcfcn
dant had previously been confined
in Il hospital for mental treatment.
The affidavit filed yesterday was
by the plaintiff and was Il counter

In it the plaintiff alleged that he
had not been informed prior to the
marriage of the mental weakness of
the defendant ana further denied
that the couple had cloptd at the

further alleged that he doubted

CALL THE MARINES?

Quite an interesting tale comes up from Nlcara-
qua. ..
TIE government of that country at the suggestion
of the United States which is at with the govern
ment but at war with Sandino, set aside the sum OF
$4,000 to the cost OF the national eIecuon WHICH
is scheduled for November i:
Under the supervision of l. S. marine officers,
Il has been found that only one-hat OF tins sum WI
be required and the balance Will be returned 10 Ie
government.
We were asked to supervise the Nicaraguan cleo
ton and that is primarily the our marines are
in the country Their presence there rrltated San
dino who aspred to become president by force and
knew he could do with the marines present. 50
he went on the Warpath.
Under the marine system Of supervision there is a
central office thirteen department charmen twenty
assistants and 35 local charmen These latter are en-
listed men, especially schooled in Spanish and election
procedure to at the polling places throughout the

II is odd that we can operate efficiently in other

Baby Bun.y had been Playing
with the tin can one day in carly

tree. A few days later as Uncle
Wiggily was hopping around his
garden, planting lettuce and cab

asked:
"IIow much rent do YOU want for

bunny.

Then, indeed, was busy time for
Mr.. and Mrs. Wren, as they had to
fly around all day to catch bugs
and flies to feed to the little birds,
And about the middle Of July the
little birds were big enough TO fly
away which they did after some
teaching by their father and
mother.
"Thaak you for letting US use
y our tin can wren house without
paying any rent, sang the daddy
bird one day when his wife had
flown away with her little family.
THANK You so much :
Pray do not mention it said
Uncle Wiggily. Take my wren

Wren. IF YOU don I mind my wife

shall soon be flying South for the

Us Mr.. Wren flew away. And the
rabbit gentleman was rather lone

birds and the father was certainly a
sweet singer.
80 the old tin can with the round
hole remained i'm the y crotch Of
the tree waiting for the birds to
come back. NO day Uncle Wiggily
hoppod down to the end Of his gar.
den and he was wishing the wrens
were back again for NJ liked them
very much.
The day was warm. Uncle Wig
gily sat down on Il toadstool and
was soon asleep. And as he slept
up crcpt the Bob cat to catch tho
