 Albin told of a desperate battle in pitch darkness at 3 am. in his laboratory at 4502 Santa Monica boulevard with two German speaking invaders Wso sought to wrest from him the secret form ula for a non-leaded high-test gasoline.
 After showering one of his as sailants with sulphuric acid and dodging a hail of bullets fired by the other mystery man, AIbin

said he drove the supposed for eign agents into an ignomnlous retreat with his precious form ula still in his possession.
 Declaring he believed the men to be members of a Hollywood fifth column" the chemist des- cribed them as being powerfully built, with close-cropped mili- tary haircuts. They fled, he said, in a sleek, gray, coupe bearing square white license plates which he was unable to identify.

Smith, who is the owner of considerable pro- perty on Second Ave w. for drain along the north side of Second Ave, from the intersec- ton of Second Ave. w. and D. St. 10 the intersection of Second Ave. w. and C. St. MT. Smith was quoted as saying that he would be satisfied with an open drain, but taking into consideration the number of residences to be serv ed from this proposed drain, it was, in the opinion of the Street Committee, desirable to construct box drain on the street in ques- tion. The approximate cost of this drain, according to Council man Stewart would not exceed $400.
 Councilman Atwood, chairman of Finance committee reported that he had examined the loca- ton on the school lot where the change in the power line was proposed to be made and con- .cluded that if the present power pole was removed, two poles should be installed to insure saf- ety in carrying the weight of the power line to connect with the street line.

That he called a meeting in his office (informally) of Chief Laws, the Mayor and Councilman Maloney. That the result of the meeting was, that Chief Laws az reed to adjust the personnel of his staff so he might be able to devote more time to police dut- ies. MT. Sullivan called the attcn ton of the Council 10 the rev enues, and in addition the fines and forfeitures collected through the Police Department, they were entitled to better police pro lection even if it became neces- sary to appoint a special police man for such work.

The Shoreham Terrace opened
last night. Then 1t closed right up
again. j. Pluvius did not interfere,
as some feared, but Washington's
wait-a-minute weather did turn out
to be winter after bright summer
day. The first few customers braved
the chill for an instant, shifted tie
breeze, then fled to warmer confines.
Robert, the Shoreham's maitre d..
faced the falling temperature for
some II seconds longer than the
fleeing customers, then fled himself,
taking service staff, silver, table
cloths and Barnee and his music
with him. Result: The Shoreham
Terrace opening" last night was
held in the Blue Room, which was
packed for the occasion, and which
found its rafters shaken by cheers
for those highly admirable dacs-
hunds, who are stars of the floor
show. Weather being more favor
able, the terrace will try again to-
night. Weather sneering at the
idea, the Blue Room will continue
to be the scene of the festivities.
In either case those dog-and-a-half
long and half-a-dog high pups and
their antics are something not to
be missed.
