No matter what we may do. there is
always some one who never heard of
peace treaties. and sooner or later we'll
have to thrash them"

His companions were Jack Dunn,

According to Tijuana police. the
three youths hired B. Robes, taxi
driver, to take them to Aqua Cali
ente early today, and near the
hotel entrance held him up. How
ever, they overlooked a gun which
Robes had in his belt and he
opened fire, wounding Notes.
The trio escaped to the Tijuana

Whale Threatens
Noses On Coast

LA JOLLA, Cal, Nov. 81. UP
Residents of the south coast sec
ton were stocking up on perfumes
today awaiting the possible arrival
of a very odorous visitor.
The visitor, drifting toward these
shores from the vicinity of San
Clemente Island, is a whale, so feet
long, and quite dead.
The skipper of the steamer Po-
mona first reported the creature as
"a funny smelling raft, a menace
to navigation
The coast guard cutter Tamaroa,
dispatched to clear the steamer
lanes of the menace, fired Is shots
point blank, but failed to sink the
whale. and returned to port for a
breath of fresh air.

La Jolla within a week" unused

roa. "Oh, boy, oh boy, what an
event"

pooh a whale and beach it, only to
discover the sea denizen was quite
beyond life in this world
