 AFTER DERBY

Mr.and Mrs. Don Skuse returned to Juneau last night aboard the Denali after being away more than two months attending the Soap Box Derby with Jerry Chapman, Juneau champion, and touring in the States.
 ''The Derby was enc of the big gest events in the country" said Skuse today. Even seasoned news men, who have attended many of the big sporting classics in the whole country, were surprised and pleased at the scope of the affair and wrote columns about it."
 Jerry was quite the center of at traction, Skuse reported, and his parka drew much comment.
 The Skuses missed seeing Jerry on their return trip through Seattle, as they were told he had already left for home following the opera tion on his knee.
 When the Derby was completed, the Skuses visited in Toronto, Can ada, fer three weeks with Mrs. Skuse's relatives. In Canada they took in the Canadian National Ex- position, which was taken up with Canadian war efforts. They then drove to Los Angeles and up the coast to Seattle where they boarded the Denali for home.

Walter Rolfe, who worked for Edwin A.

TO THE EDITOR:

been telling us about the great
advantages that could be gained
through the adoption Of univeF-

it clear to us that the ever
present danger which attends
identification by compulsion out
weighs greatly any benefits that
might be derived from the prac-

ONE Of the great restaurants
" of the United States years
ago was Victor Hugo's. First on
Olive, then on Grand in down.
town Los Angeles, with a much
later career in Beverly Hills. 1t
was operated by Hugo Elias,
who is said to have once amassed
$860,000 and retired from bust
ness activity.
Then, it is related. he got to
thinking that he would enjoy
possessing an even million, so
he stepped into the stock mar
ket to make up the meager diff
ference and dropped his bundle.
Hugo Elias now has a place
of business at Laguna Beach
and it is doing well. He deserves
much of Los Angeles. if only for
leaving it the memory of such
marvellous foods.
The public range of the gour-
met was formerly somewhat re-
stricted in Los Angeles. 1t was
not a great restaurant city like
its sister to the north. San
Francisco. Besides Victor Hugo's
it had Yankees, and AL Levy's
and Hoffman's, and Bernstein's
grotto where you got the sea
food. and a number OF other
restaurants, and it had the
hotel Drills. but it made no spe-
cial claim TO the epicurean Won
ders of which some cities
Dragged.
THE population Of Los An
Il geles was and still is largely
devoted TO home cooking. which
is not bad either, if you catch
the right gal. However, Of late
years the restaurant situation
has taken on a most metropoli-
tan aspect. The City of Angels
now has more fine restaurants
than any city in the country
with the exception of New York,
San Francisco ana possibly NEW
Orleans.
Perhaps this is partly due to
the infusion Of eastern appe-
tites, especially in the movie
district. but more likely it is
the natural result of a greatly
increased population.
Whatever the reason ii is A
great boon 10 the visitor with
any regard for his in'ards. AS
one who has travelled far.
Mike Lyman, brother of Abe,
the band leader, owns one of
the largest and most popular of
the downtown restaurants in
Los Angeles. 1t is che closest
approach TO New York's Lindy's
on the West Coast.

Mike has gotten rich in the
restaurant business. He conducts
a big string of drive-ins in addi-
ton to his downtown establish
ment. There are four Lyman
brothers, including Abe, inter-

Dave Chaser, a sprightly lit

known vaudeville actor and
worked with Joe Cook, the
comedian, used to make bar
becued spare ribs in his home

in on his delicacy, which Dave
did.
His place on Beverly boule-
ward is now one of the favorite
resorts of the movie people,
CIRO'S is the haunt of movie

to dine out. Leone's is a west

in charge. Perinos. Lucey's and

Cantor's on West Adams has
superior kosher food. The Span
ish Kitchen in Hollywood is an
offshoot Of a celebrated old-time
establishment in dow town
Olivera street where the en-
chilladas, tortillas and frijoles
are better than you could get

The Villa Nova is one Of a
number of good Italian restau-

best corned beef hash west of
