Captain Hawks also predicted
that within a year, the regular fly

today by Fred S. Fitzpatrick of
Compton.
Fitzpatrick told Norris Stensland,
captain Of the robbery detail of the
Los Angeles sheriff's office, that
in February of this year he was
driving With friends along the desert
road between Ludlow and Blond
veil when they decided to turn off
the road and drive into the, hills.
While walking through the hills
he said, the party found a. duffle
bag with the name cut out, a coat
and a vest. Nearby, he said, were
two mounds resembling human
graves.
He paid litt,e attention to the
discovery at the time Fitzpatrick
said, but it was recalled to his
mind with Collie'S arrest.
The information was passed on to
Sheriff Ernest Shay of San Bernar-
dino county, where Collie was held
in Jail pending his trial for the
murder of George Walker, one of
the two killings to which he is said
to have confessed.
Meanwhile, police dug up the dirt

SIMILARITY between
ROASTING COFFEE
And COOKING FOODS
"a Little at a Time" Is the
Secret for Securing the
Finest Flavor

Foods generally taste better when
cooked in small quantities. For
then the cook can mix her ingredi-
ents properly, also control the heat.
When coffee is roasted in small
quantities, the same thing is true.
But when coffee is roasted in bulk
as most coffees are-exact con-
troll is lost. Under-roasting and
oyer-roasting very easily occur.
This method being so unsatisfac-
tory, caused Hills Bros. to look for
some improvement-some way to
roast their rare blend to uniform
perfection. They experimental for
years, and eventually invented and
patented Controlled Roasting.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow >. little at a time .. so the
fine, uniform flavor of Hills Bros.
Coffee is produced by Controlled
Roasting-the patented process
that roasts evenly, continuously -.
q little at q time. Marvellous un-
varying flavor results in every
pound. For no berry is underdone
nor overdone.
Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh.
1t is packed in vacuum cans. Air,
which destroys the flavor of coffee,
is removed and kept out of these
cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans
won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills
Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by
name, and look for the Arab trade
mark on the can.

the Greeks, the Troians bowed to
them" said Bishop Cantwell. "That
was long time sgo, but the Tro-
jams got their revenge Saturday
They won a splendid victory over the
greatest team that could have been
placed in the field against them
Howard Jones had little to say, but
his usually solemn face was broad
with smiles.
well, Notre Dame was the great
est team in the country until Just
before dusk Saturday afternoon, u
he said. I'm very proud of the
boys I'm proud of Johnny Baker,
but we mustn't forget there we're il

kicking territory"

presented, in the name Of the city,
with a reading lamp, the shade
modelled after football helmet.
