ACCUSE ACTRESS
OF STAGING ROW
OVER CHILDREN

LOS ANGELES, May 26. UP
Jocelyn Lee. the film actress, was
free today under sl0o bond after
charges were made that she broke
18 windows, almost wrecked a house
and knocked out a man with her
slipper
The charges we're made by Ivan
ST. Johns, Hollywood writer and
friend of Luther Reed, Miss Lees
former husband.
Reed told Judge Georgia Bullock
that the trouble started after he
went to his former wife's home last
Sunday and got his two children to
take them for an automobile ride,
as his recent divorce decree provid-
ed he might. He said Miss Lee
wanted to accompany the children.
II told her my attorney had in
structed me to have nothing to do
with her." ne testified at the pre-
liminary hearing late yesterday.
II went back to st. Johns home,
where l have been living, without
the children and pretty soon she
came along insisting l take her with
u.s." Reed testified. II again refused
and she took off her slipper and
started smashing things"
st. Johns testified that the
things" smashed included himself,
18 window panes and several walls,
which. he said, were not exactly
smashed, but were badly dented. "
At his recent divorce action, Reed
testified that during their honey
moon at Aqua Caliente. Miss Lee
once threw a handful Of silver dol
lars in his face and on another oc-
casion hit him on the head with
an ink stand.

BE CAREFUL

Supplementing yesterdays article call
ing attention to the heavy increase in au-
tomobile accidents, it may be we'll to re-
mind local motorists that at the end of
this week several hundred school pupils
will no longer be attending sessions, but
will be released to enjoy the summer va
cation.
With the limited playground facilities
in Ell Centro it is but natural that many
of these youngsters will be forced to seek
their recreation in the streets or close to
them, presenting a situation which it is
we'll for the motorist to take into con-
sideration if we are to avoid serious acci-
dents.
Youngsters are inclined to careless
ness, and more than ever when they are
at play as they will be during the sum-
mer months.
There is no need for speed in any part
of the city. One can get from the east
to west or north to south boundaries in
such a comparatively short time at
normal speed, that the few seconds
gained by speeding are not justifiable in
view of the danger offered by so doing.
When accidents occur, even though the
motorist may not be at fault, he comes
under cloud if his victim is a child. His
neighbors will consider him reckless and
he himself cannot get away from an in
ner wish that he had taken more care.
A resolution now to drive carefully
through the city, and constant care after
the summer vacation starts, will go Tar
toward having tragedies that distress an
entire community.

UNCLE wIGGILY PLAYING TAG

Where is my airplane?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Here it comes" chartered Mr..
Scamper, the city squirrel He and
Uncle Wiggily were half ways up a
big tree in a park and boy was
climbing up the branches to catch
the rabbit gentleman. Mr.. Long
ears didn't dare climb any higher
and he didn't dare jump down. But
he knew if he could be safely
lowered to the ground in something
like an airplane or a parachute he
could easily run away from that
boy.
II don't hear any airplanes, Mr.
Scamper.' said Uncle Wiggily as
he looked down to see the boy still
climbing up after him and then
glanced above to notice what might
be coming from the sky.
Here's the airplane I mean,
went on Mr.. Scamper. ITS a queer
one but it will take you safely to
the ground and then you can run
away from the boy before he climbs
from the tree"

"THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH"
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

What is the world coming to? Is moth
ing going to remain strong, rugged and
virile? Must everything become soft,
dainty and in constant need of shielding?
Consider the deck of warship. In the
old days everything connected with the
navy was hard and tough. The men were
tough, the ships were tough and they did
a tough job. Salt horse and hard bis
cult was staple diet. Hanging perious-
ly up in the rigging was not even an in
cident in sailors life. And when 1t
came time to clean up, the sailors lugged
a hefty holystone about the decks, TO
give them that finish always associated
with a clean ship.
Neither the sailors nor the decks OBJ
iected to the holystone. 1t had its place
in sea life as much as tar or bilge water.
But affairs in the navy, have under
gone a change. No longer does the sea-
man clamp his Jaws on salt horse" and
biscuit. He eats the best there is and
plenty of it. 1t is not difficult task to
find MANY men in the navy who haven't
even one tattoo mark upon them. They
no longer gang up when they land IN
port. get full of grog and start to take
town to pieces to see of what 1t Is made.
They may be tough, but in refined way.
And the ships too have changed. The
secretary of the navy has issued an order
banning the use of holystones, because
the decks of the ships are so thin that
holvstoning wears them out quickly, and
replacing them is a heavy item OF ex-
pense.
Shades of Decatur, Paul Jones and
Preble, We hope the news does not get
to the ears of "Old Ironsides''. 1t would
sink right at its moorings from shame:
Inst as the old time sailors beard would
turn the blade of the best safety razor
ever made, so too the decks of the old
time ships would stand up under the
toughest holystone that was ever tashion-
ed, and never wear out.
Men and ships Ladies and skl1fs!
