BT HARRY M. GRAYSON. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Nov. 19. (Special.) Three hundred United States Marines who left San Diego today did so re gretfully, for they do not expect to en counter another post quite like that of the picturesque Southern Califoria city. Were It not for the fact that they are taking another step toward France and actual warfare, gloom would pre dominate on this marine special, despite memories of surf bathing; mountain bikes and wonderful hospitality. There are now approximately 30,000 enlisted men In or around San Dieso. Camp Kearny, 18 miles north, is the divisional headquarters for what used to be the National Guard. State troops from California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, with what their companies lacked filled with drafted men who came down from Camp Lewis, make up 25,000 enemies of the German war lord. California's Grizzlies, field artillery, number 1200. Some Cavalry Stationed. Approximately 1500 young sailors are In the Naval recruit depot at Balboa Park, the exposition grounds, where only 200 marines are left as a result of the latest shipment East. North Island houses 400 aviators, while the Califor nia Coast Artillery do guard duty there, employing around 300 men. Two troops of cavalry at Imperial lieach add to the assortment of uniforms. Any Portland mother, sister or sweetheart who has someone dear to them stationed In these "diggin's" need not fear about them being all dressed up with a little money and no place to go, for San Diego and immediate vicinity on liberty days is alive with Sammies, who are treated like regular fellows and shown about much after the fashion of a champion prize-fighter. llany of the boys have taken the trip de luxe around San Diego bay, while Coronado, La Jolla, Oceanside, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Del Mar and the other beach resorts come in for their share. There is Tia Juana, where the horses- ran and where the faro lay out is still in vogue. Of course, the fellows cannot cross the line, but from the custom house can see the track and the little ramshackle village with a National reputation. Inland Trips Enjoyed. Enchanting inland trips are taken ad vantage of on week-ends to El Cajon, Alpine, Julian, Escondido, Grossmont, Lemon Groves, Paradise Valley, East San Diego, Mesa Grande and other points. Grossmont is one of the particularly favorite jaunts. Although only 1200 feet above sea level, from the top of Grossmont one views a magnificent panorama of ocean, mesa and valley. To the north Is the snow-capped peak of' Old Baldy, and in the nearer dis tance San Jacinto and the Palomar Mountains. To the east the Cuyamaca range, covered with timber, to the south the table mountain of Mexico, to the west the grand old Pacific, Coronado Islands, Point Loma, San Diego city. La Mesa and Spring Valley. Carrie Jacobs Bond wrote "The End of a Perfect Day" while sitting in the sun room of her home on the peak of Grossmont. Owen Wister, of "The Vir ginian" fame, makes his Winter quar ters here, while Madame Schumann lleink's house is the prettiest of all. The Marines on their special "rattler" will long remember being toted in the automobiles of San Diegans and as long as the war lasts the young men who train around this old Spanish town will enjoy themselves, for there are 90,000 hand-shakers hereabouts.

Head noises are almost In variably the forerunners of complete or par tial deafness, and most deaf people suffer from them constantly. Sometimes these head noises become so distracting and nerve racking, with their never-ceasing "hum." they drive the sufferer almost frantic and complete nervous breakdown may result. Thanks to a remarkable prescription, it is now possible to lessen the severity of these head noises and often completely overcome them and with the disappearing of the head noises the hearing also greatly improves, and very frequently can be re stored to normal. It can be easily prepared at home and we believe is a most effective treatment for this trouble. From your drug gist secure 1 ox.

She means, when she says she lost her dog, that "Grouch," a big English bull. owned by a certain M. W oods, ate "Trixie," her dog, alive. It all happened when "Trixie" went for a walk with Mr. and Mrs. Rubens, the parents of Alma. "Grouch" saw "Trixie" and cemquered at once. The Rubenses entered suit against the Woodses; in fact, they entered two suits, -one for $299 for the loss of "Trixie," and another for $249 be cause "Grouch" bit Mr. Rubens' hand. According to Los Angeles papers, during the taking of the testimony in tue case the attorney asked Mr. Rubens if he bought "Trixie" for a valuable consideration and Mr. Rubens denied this allegation most vigorously. He said he didn't buy the dog for a valu able consideratino, but for a pet. The court awarded Mr. Rubenu $30 for personal Injuries and $75 for the loss of "Trixie." Eric Campbell, who was married about four months ago to Cleta Pearl Oilman, a sister of Maybelle Oilman, has been called to co.urt by his newly acquired wife. Mrs. Campbell asks for a' separate maintenance. She claims that Mr. Campbell, who .Is the huge gentleman of the Chaplin comedies, has an income of $40,000 a year. Charles F. Parke, a truck driver, has filed -suit against Lottie Pickford for $200, which he claims as a reward for a watch he found belonging to Miss Pickford. According to his complaint. Miss Pickford and her jewelers adver tised this reward and have not paid it as yet. The jewelers claim the back of the watch containing a large diamond was missing when returned. Parke says this back was not on the watch when he found it. Mary MacLaren, recently injured In an automobile accident, has brought suit against Jules F. Roth and his wife for $20,000. The Roths were in the machine which collided with that of the actress resulting in an injury which was almost fatal. Miss MacLaren, who Is only 17 years of age, brought suit through her guardian. The complaint alleges that the defendants were driving at the rate of 50 miles an hour when the ac cident occurred. John F. Rand, who acts In "Pathe' Lehrman's Sunshine Comedies, brought suit against the company for compensa tion, claiming that some one hit him from behind with a "property" rock. Mr. Rand stated that these "property" rocks were much harder than regular rocks. "Pathe" Lehrman said not. He claimed a regular rock would kill man, while a "property" rock would only nearly kill him. itors have Joined to suppress anti-war films. A number of these were issued before the United States entered the world war. Charlie Chaplin is to have a $500,000 studio in Hollywood. Cal. This will account for half of Charlie's returns on his next season's work. He is to get " $1,000,000 for eight pictures, and already has been tendered $io,000 ex tra for signing the contract. Eugene O'Brien, appearing with Norma Talmadge in "The Moth." is leading a double stage life at present. In his dramatic personality he is ap pearing in each performance of "The Country Cousin" at the Gaiety Theater, New York, while his screen personality is being lent to the new production which Miss Talmadge is .making at her studio on East Forty-eighth street. Mr. O'Brien will appear in the leading masculine role in this picture, which has not yet been named. It is an adaptation of "Two Women," the drama by Rupert Hughes. Virginia Valli is Taylor Holmes' leading woman in his current Kssanay comedy-drama, "Efficiency Edgar's Courtship." Miss Valll was born in Chicago, 111. The Federal Government announced last week through Attorney Morton Cressev that all further efforts to force Bryant Washburn into the Na tional Army would be discontinued Attorney Cressey said that he felt the plea that the film actors wife and child did not need his support was not sufficient to warrant an appeal. Tom Morgan, Balboa character actor, assert that he identified Alexander Kerensky, deposed Russian Premier, as Tony Neipsich, who was vice- Consul for Serbia In Los Angeles a ew years ago. Neipsich was a man of mystery, according to Morgan. Also he says that the history of the two men coincide. Kerensky, according to printed accounts, spent three years In the United States, much of the time in cities of the West, after which he went to Bolivia for three years. A noted director of comedies, Edward Dillon, was selected by paramount to direct "The Antics of Ann," the latest comedy-drama of petite Ann Penning ton, the famous danscuse of Follies' fame. Mr. Dillon worked with D. . Griffith for eight years varying from comedy to drama, and also turned out many of the old Blograph comedies in the days when Mack Sennett and Mabel Normend were familiar figures in these productions. The Metro press agent sends out a touching yarn about the postponement of work on an Ethel Barymore pic ture because of the sugar shortage. It was impossible to find a lump of sugar for Frank Mills coffee, scheduled to be imbibed in a breakfast scene. Why do they use good white paper for this sort of stuff? They are using a number of Deni- shawn dancers, pupils of Kuth !-t. Denis and Ted Shawn, in Southern Cal ifornia pictures. - Arguments of Both Sides Before In terstate Commerce Commission Ended Question of Govern ment Loan Is Considered. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Arguments in the Eastern railroads' 15 per cent ad vance rate case before the Interstate Commerce Commission closed today with a statement of counsel for the roads that even If this Increase is granted they soon will ask for another advance of approximately 15 per cent in class and commodity rates and 10 per cent a ton on coal and coke. "Is it the intention of the railroads," asked Commissioner McChord, "to make the sky the limit?" "As cost increases rates must go up if we are to proceed on a sound basis," answered John S. Patterson, of counsel for the railroads. With both sides agreed that the rail roads' income had increased, rne chief point of contention was whether the additional revenue had offset the In creased cost of operation. Mr. Patter son, the only attorney Bpeaking for the roads, said the last advance had failed by about $120,000,000 to cover the in creased expenditures of the 38 systems. Counsel for the shippers maintained that by use of the additional revenues and surplus the railroads would not be in worse condition than other busi nesses, and that under such circum stances they should not expect to Im pose additional burdens on the ship pers. Mr. Patterson replied that the railroads had no desire to make money out of the war, but that they recog nized industry had a great burden to bear and believed that it should be di vided rather than placed on one branch of business. Clifford Thome, leading counsel for the shippers, said an increase in freight rates is essentially a tax, and "that this Is no time for an organized set of buslnes men to ask the American people to increase their burdens." Ad ditional demands of the railroads, he continued, are almost keeping pace with the Government in "adding bur dens to the people."

Johnson, of Gooding, Idaho, Sues. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 19. (Special.) Division of the $500,000 estate of O. P. Johnson, wealthy Idaho stockman and rancher, who died at Gooding recently, is the issue involved in a sensational suit Instituted in the courts of Idaho. Kate Anderson, adopted daughter, brought suit in the District Court for a share of the estate which had been probated to his widow.

Dan Ruth, a boy of but 22, is on trial here charged with an apparently cold-blooded, brutal mur der of Tom Cavannagh, of Heath, Washington County, last March. For a week the courtroom has been Jammed with cattlemen and ranchers of the Brownlee country, and many who have come - miles to attend the trial have wandered disconsolately about town, unable to get into the crowded room. Selection of the jury took two days, and the remainder of the time has been consumed by the prosecution. In his opening statement Harrison McAdams, acting Prosecuting Attorney, who is assisted by Assistant Attorney-General Pope, declared that he will attempt to prove: That there was bad feeling between Ruth and his friends and Cavannagh, as the latter had refused to sell them hay. That on March 12, the night of the murder, Ruth went to Cavannagh's ranch, declaring he would get money Cavannagh owed him, or hay, before he returned.

Again the Union needs its Union Pacific The Union Pacific is doing its utmost to expedite the enormous war shipments from the Treasure States it srrvea. Grain, cattle, min erals, lumber, wool and oil are needed as never before. For new equipment alone the Union Pacific is spending over $16,000,000 to give American peo ple and industries still better ser vice. This is aside from even greater sums necessarjr for double-tracking, additional yard and engine facilities and other improvements designed to add to the traffic carry ing capacity of the property. Just now some of our ordered equipment is unobtainable for im mediate delivery because our Allies must be served first so we will win. The Union Pacific and The Union Pacific States must use available equipment to its greatest efficiency. The 41,000 employes of the Union Pacific and the 11,000,000 people of the western wealth-producing states now have an interna tional obligation to fulfill.
