Wretched HoveIs Line Streets of
 Hollywood"

This Is the second of a series Of closeup stories of life in. that squalid sector of the old Golf Lots facetiously called s'HOllywOOd". Here homeless men live or rather exist pree caFlOusly in shacks, VIC. tims of hunger, weather and sometimes ''pOisOned alky". Death has been . frequent visitor. Want Is always evis dent. Despair is manifest though many cling tenacious ly to hope for better times.
 The shacks in which the 50 squatters at the Golf Lots live can best be described as novels, but a few of them show an inherent desire on the part of their owners for Q real home. One has a set of mar ble blocks, picked from the nearby dump, on the ground outside the door; this same shack Is painted a dull green, though here and there patches of tin show through. The hut mentioned, however. is out standing: 1t is a veritable palace in contrast to the rest of the rudely thrown together abodes.
 Nearly every hut has piled be- side 1t a huge pile of wood for use during the long. cold win- ter months. Against some huts it is piled 50 high that 1t reached above the roofs, but just the same it is jealously guarded by it's owners. Lying about every hut, sometimes inside and sometimes outside, are quantities of junk of every description = barrels, bottles. tin cans. old pieces of mirrors, heaps of tattered newspapers, and litter of dozens of more kinds.
 "How do we live?" re- peated one of the squatters when he, in broken English. was asked that question by the reporter. Well, we get along somehow"

: That was the reporters principal observation: the men ''get along somehow" A few of them get bags from the city welfare department; they are the fortunate ones in their brethren's estimation. The rest spend part of their time picking" and sometimes earn as much as dollar or 8 dollar and quarter a week. Picking Is the squatters' principal industry; 1t is the constant search through the nearby dump for anything of value, particularly scrap brass and copper. This is then sold to junk dealers who call at the place frequently, the deal- CTS paying a few cents a pound for the metal. Now and then one of the squatters has enough rags to make a small sale, but rags mainly are kept for use in the huts, perhaps to patch clothing, or again to stuff up crevices through which the rain or cold might aaAn

Arrival of a truck or wagon at the dumping ground is a signal for action for the squat ters. Armed with rakes, shovels, and other implements, they burrow through the refuse discarded, their eyes peering anxiously for metal or cloth. Arrival of an ash wagon brings out many, for the ashes can be poked, through until q few precious coals or good cinders are found. A few of the huts are fortunate enough to have stoves inside, but many have their stoves outside. Even the ones with the interior equip ment are smoke-filled most of the time, but, as one of the men said: "We don't mind that no more after a while. It's better than freezing"

MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1855

The week begins with an uncertain and threatening rule of the stars, ac- cording to astrology. Mars is in strongly adverse aspect.
 There is a sinister sign read as in dicating lack of harmony among men and women everywhere on the globe While outwardly they may follow their leaders they will secretly find fault, it is foretold.
 In many countries revolution may be felt under the surface of establish ed governments, the seers point out, because royalties and real patriot ism are undermined. Again astrolo- gers warn that Communists are gain ing strength.
 This is not an suspicious rule un- der which to make any start in new line of business or in new profes- sional associations. Changes in world affairs are to be watched, the seers warn.
 Labor continues under threatening rule of the planets and there will be dissatisfaction among agricultur- ists. Colony experiments are under unfavorable aspects.
 Astrologers point out that individ- ual efforts must solve most problems and they warn against reliance on government aid which will under mine initiative, except in cases where the yonng are to be educated and trained in arts and crafts
 It is prognosticated that an Am erican woman of distinction will cause a sensation by independence of action that will embarrass the en- tire nation.
 Debutantes now come under con- | figuration that presages one of the gayest social seasons on record, but this has a serious portent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of financial sue cess and advancement. New contacts are indicated. Care in making invest ments is enjoined.
 Children born on this day are likely to be unusual in their determ- ination to succeed. Subjects of thl; sign may be exceedingly gifted.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

Once again. this time through the words of Secretary of State Cordel Hull, the United States sounds the note of warning to the imperiaistic policies of the old world As in former world crises she has again broken for 8 brief moment, her policy of avoiding all foreign entanglements to speak strong and dauntless word in defense Of downtrodden brethren.
 What President Roosevelt has said to Italy, and what Secretary of State Corde Hull today inti- mates to Japan echo in general way, the Monroe doctrine and are more than little reminiscent of the famous Fourteen Points with which Wilson greeted the outbreak of the World War. But there lies between Wilson and Roosevelt indescribable difference born of experience and passage of time; and it is a difference which is prophetic of a growing international vision in American political thought The President has declared an economic embargo upon belligerents. He has asked, and rightly that certain industries in the United States deprive themselves of excessive profits in order to preserve the lives liberty and happiness of mil lions of humanity Should the crisis in Europe materialize into general European even further economic sacrifices may be demanded of the Amer ican people
 The significant thing is that we fighting as in 1917 to make the world safe for democracy but in different way-with economies not with mil itary power; with the sacrifice of moned interests not of human life. We have had one war to enc war Through it We learned power. And it that power-one of economic strength second tc none in the world-that our government is now throwing onto the scales in an effort to balance world that once again edges the brink of tragic turmoil.

 Automobile manufacturers express themselves as well satisfied and laying plans for greater production during the coming year
