told us that his mother fancied
the title in a book she had read
and gave it to him.
Baron Long is a fabulous fell
low. He came out Of Indiana as
an advertising man for an In
dian remedy show and once
made a fortune on his own ac-
count in Chinese herbs.
He ran the most celebrated
night club in Southern Cali
fornia. 1t was called the Vernon
Country Club and out of il came
some great theatrical talent.
THEN Long. who is generally
L referred TO as The Baron.
went to San Diego and took
over the L. s. Grant Hotel an
old time hostelry that was not
doing any too we'll at the time.
and made il a startling success.
He said he was tired Of big
cities and had moved 70 San
Diego to find room TO park his
car.
Presently he was Interested
In the Tia Juana race track and
later in Aqua Caliente and was
operating A big racing stable
and a big breeding farm, diver
slons he has since dispensed
with in favor Of a yacht.
incidentally however, he Is
one of the best informed men
in the country on racing blood
lines.
He still owns and operates the
L S. Grant. though he would
have plenty of difficulty finding
room now TO park his car in
San Diego, one OF the busiest
and most crowded of the de-
Tense Centers.
Possibly that is why he makes
his home at the Biltmore.
THE Baron" is big and bluff
and hearty and has more money
than most folks have hay. but
he lives quietly and his diver
sionS are simple. his idea of
great weekend being a little
cruise.
Times were tough for hotels
when he took over the Los An
geles Biltmore. what with the
depression and the shift in the
movie population TO Hollywood
with the resultant hotel COM
petition there and some pessi-
miSts questioned The Baron s.
business Judgment.
He never had missed before
but they thought he had at last
stubbed his toe.
In very short time he had
infused new life -intotthe place
and brought it back TO all its
original glory, which is why
hotel men when mentioning his
name are inclined TO remove
their lids.

w the hundreds of adults and children suffering from
tuberculosis You make your Christmas shopping for
them easy by simply buying sheet of Christmas seals

by one of these examinations.
So when you wrap your Christmas packages, don't
forget fasten them with the CHEEKY Christmas Seals
They're your Christmas present to those with tuberculosis
and the thousands of school children who are protected
from it through the X-ray examinations.

Civil Defense Sabotage

THE United States government is sabotagng the civil
ian defense Of Detroit. That sounds unbelievable,
doesn't it. but members of Detroits civilian defense
council say that is exactly what is going on
For example, the fire department needs new switch
board TO replace the 2yearold II now is using The
board is not in good condition and in of an emer
gencv might break down-graveiy impairing the eff
cheney of the department
Yet the United States govenment-throush oPM-
has granted the department such low priority on new
switchboard that it is impossible TO purchase one.
The same thing true of badly needed equipment
for the water board The board cannot purchase
because il has not been granted ANY priority order
If Detroit not such an important cog IN the
defense program the situation which the federal
eminent is spending millions of dollars to build up an
immense armament plant Detroit and yet is preventing
the city from adequately protecting it would be but
another ridiculous example of government red tape.
But the situation is too critical to be merely rldicu-
eus It can easily be tragc the emergency for which
We are preparing occurs.
So we'd like to call the attention of William s. knud-
sen 0PM chief the plight of the civilian defense COM
mission of his city Perhaps he can find way to
give the city what needs to protect the huge arsenal
here.
