BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
For thou, Lord will bless the righteous; with favor wilt
ihou compass him as with a shield. Psalms 5:12.
Santa Barbara
As if to equalize their beauty and charm and their delight
ful climates with less favored lands, nature has subjected
many of the world's most attractive countries to earthquake
and volcanic violence. Many a stately city has been crumbled
to fragments or been buried under cinders and ashes along
the lovely shores of the Mediterranean in the centuries
gone by, and more recently along the turquoise seas of Japan,
and many a California city is probably distined in the years
to come to suffer the fate that overwhelmed San Francisco a
score of years ago and that has now overtaken Santa
Barbara. It is part of the penalty nature exacts for their
allurement.
Before such cataclysms of nature man is powerless, but
the magnitude of the disasters seem to inspire him to still
greater achievement. Ruined cities are rebuilt as if by magic
and Phoenix-like, arise from the ashes, more beautiful
than ever.
In some ways it is an advantage for a city to suffer
destruction, for it enables rebuilding upon a comprehensive
and systematic plan, avoiding the mistakes and failures that
occur in the growth of the average city from a cross-roads
village to a metropolis. Every structure can be erected to
conform to accepted plan and uniform beauty assured.
To Santa Barbara in her distress flows the sympathy and
assistance of the world, and with the undaunted courage
shown in disaster, the rebuilding of a yet more beautiful city
than the old Santa Barbara is assured. Certainly no man is
better qualified for the task than Herbert Nunn, former
balemite, her city manager, builder of Oregon's great high
Tvay system.
An Airy Subject
Women's clothes are a light and airy subject for discus
sion, suitable for the good old summer time, for thov form
the nearest approach to Eve's fig-leaf of any era. since
the Garden of Eden tliat is women are wearing fewer
clothes, with less material in them than ever before. But
they cost just as much as ever, because women go more
places.
The flapper has triumphed over dame fashion and holds
fter captive. When a young woman starts out., now, she
runs a comb through' her bob, works hard for a few minnrps
with Mascaro, rouge, lipsticks and powder puff, chooses the
tint or ner garters carefully, and says, "Well, clothes, if you
want to go with me, hang on."
Women have adopted the simplified system in apparel,
principally for comfort. A fashion writer says of these
mysteries: . . .
Everythins Is cut short excopt a good time. Lingerie lias rilmost
dtautijitiartd. Vista havo given wuy to brassieres. Below the vest Is a
htntiiH extending to the slop-Ins. The Inltor arc known by a dozen
different names, kilt Ion and the like, but It Is a pitv the Knglleh
language- has few diminutives slnro all models nro small.
Again the hiatus until the rolled-down proceeding upward and
upward to the disromTort of the wearer. Tho new hose nro readied.
KInslic girdles for those of plumper mold have not diKripponrrri. but
the old models have boon discarded since, with rolled-down stockings,
there Is nothing fur them to hold.
Shoes consist of a sole and heel and a few strands of leather
or satin. Hals are small and light. The bob reigns supreme
in a score of different forms, including waves, straight bob
and bang, curly mop, shingle, close crop and part, etc. Gone
are tho days of concealed ears and flowing tresses, and
arrived are the days of paint and powder.
A yard and a half of material is ample for a fashionable
dress and the hem line is shrinking above the knee. Bare
knees arc becoming as common, as bare arms and bare chests,
while bare legs are not infrequent. A man in his B. V. Ds
doesn't show as much of his analnmy as the modern maid,
and if he wants to compete, Mm breech-cloths for him.

"Of course not," he agreed, read

"I'm worried about Jim," she
confessed. "Ho ought to be here

DURING NIGHT

wealthy realtor operator of Loo
Angeles.
Bluejackets Arrive
During the night upwards of 200
uniformed police arrived from Los
Angeles to aid the local militia In
patrolling the streets, which were
closely cordoned from sunset to
sunrise. Shortly after four o'clock
the battleship Arkansas, Captain
Prank Lyon commanding, drop
ped anchor in the harbor and be
gan landing short patrols of blue
jackets to aid in maintaining or
der.
Other assistance came from Los
Angeles, including a trainload of
supplier, several trucks of fire ap
paratus and a powerful electric
generator and portablo lights from
tho Kamotis-Players-Lasky studio
at Hollywood, which was used to
Illuminate the ruins which, were be
ing combed for bodies of possible
victims.
The landing of the force from
tho U. S. S. Arkansas was a signal
for the reorganization of the
guards about the quake-numbed
city. Thirty-five members of the
ship's company came ashore at day
break, among them a land radio
outfit In command of Radio Gun
nor C. S. Denton, who Immediate
ly established a plant for com
munication between the shore
forces and Captain Frank Lyons,
commanding tho battleship.
Police Augmented
Naval officers estimated that a
battalion of bluejackets would be
ashore and in major command of
the guard before noon. They will
bo under command of Lieutenant
Commander H. B. Sampson.
Chief of Police Desgrandchamp,
of Santa Barbara, announced that
the police and sheriff's forces of
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles
combined, number about 450 men,
would be reorganized for more ef
ficient guard duty at once.
At daylight a unit of Red Cross
nurses and rehabilitation experts
arrived from San Francisco under
tho direction of J. W. Richardson,
relief organizer and Dorothy Le
dyarde, director of nursing activi
ties in the Pacific division of the
Red Cross.
Announcements were made that
a meeting of all Red Cross work
ers in the stricken area would be
held at once to plan a more effl-1
clent relief organization.
Lighthouse Demolished
The battleship Arkansas exper
ienced some difficulty in feeling
her way into tho harbor before day
light when her navigating officers
strained their eyes to locate the
Santa Barbara light. Tho light
house had been cut down bv tho
quaice.
Ranchers coming into the city
this morning reported heavy land
slides across the highway flfteon
miles north of hore in the direc
tion of Paradise Camp, in tho San
ta Ynez valley. They said, how-
over, that no other damage had
occurred in that section.
In this territory is the Gibraltar
dam, source of Santa Barbara's
water supply, which earlier reports
yesterday said had beon demol
ished, but which was found later
to be intact.
Autos are Crushed
State street, the main arterv of
the torn and twisted business dis
trict presented a desolate appear
ance that threw into bold relief
the optimism of the men and wo
men who owned the wrecked
stores.
In front of one chop lav what
was left of a small automobile.
Blocks of stone weighing 400 or
uu pounds each had cruehed it
flat and in their fall had ground!
out the life of William Proctor,
window cleaner, who had just
driven up to his early morning
job when the first temblor came.
Across tho way stood a five
ton truck, one of the burly "iants
of the highways, shattered vn
der a similar avalancfca of stono.
brick and mortar.
In the crumpled ruins of the
exclusive hotel Arlington the
mecca of world travelers for
years, the fall of a tank contain
ing 60,000 gallons of water had
swept to their deaths Mrs. Charles
E. Perkins, aged millionaire wid
ow of Burlington, Idaho,, and
Bertram B. Hancock, son of O.
Allen Hancock, wealthy Los An
geles realty dealer. The latter es
caped with three broken ribs and
scalp wounds, after falling and
sliding three stories to the ground
from the room beside that In
which his son met his death.
Tho San Marcos building, re
cently finished and held to be
one of the finest structures in
tho city, was a paradox of stabil
ity and ruin. Tho center caved in
when th0 earth waves struck the
community. The wings stood, ap
parently intact, but close survey
showed them to be badly crack
ed and twisted.
New St runt lire Falls
The brand new California ho
tel, a hostelry of 100 rooms com
pleted within (he week, was t
total wreck. The roof had col
lapsed in several places and thru
out its entire height one corner
had been ripped bare, exposing
the beds as they stood prepared
for guests, careening at a dizzy
angle and threatening at any mo
ment to skid out into the trick
littered street.
Another comparatively new
hotel, the Carillo, two large wingii
of filled concrete construction
was badly shaken In its two low
est floors, but above that the
walls seemed to be as good as
new. The interior furnishings how
ever, all showed the marks of the
temblor.
Hero and there throughout the
downtown section the pavement
bulged and cracked, while in
some locations it had been slash
ed and chopped into fragments a
foot square by the grinding force
of the successive tremors.
Queer V nks Played
In the older anil less preten
tious residential districts the
earthquake had played queer
pranks with the wooden homes
built a quarter and half a cen
tury ago.
One sagged crazlly in front, Its
gable hanging two feet nearer
the road than Its foundation
posts. Another had buckled In the
middle and peered at the passing
world through bay windows
which until yesterday had b"on
sheltered from the summer sun
by an old fashioned veranda.
Immediately next door was a
little home of two stories wh'cii
looked much weaker In build
than its neighbor, but here not a
bit of damage had been done ex
cept to tho chimney cap which
had been catapulted Into a bed of
roses. Torrents from broken wa
ter mains had rushed through a
number of home tracts, burying
gardens and sidewalks under a
layer of mud several Inches thick.
Sleep Outdoors
Nowhere, or only in very rare
instances, did the men, women
and children of Santa Bnrba-a
spend last night within doors.
Many whoso homes were wrecked
were forced to bed down in tho
open under the segment mo'.n.
The remainder slept on their
lawns from choice, not knowing
when a fresh earth tremor mifrht
bring their ceilings down about
their ears.
Two facts stood out from many
striking features in this city to
day. One was the continued, de
termined calm with which its
citizens faced their destiny and
their duty, and the other was tho
absence of any serious fire, which
in earthquakes elsewhere had
added to the horrors of stricken,
communities.
Early today the leading bank'
era and business men of Santa
Barbara plan to meet In general
session and outline the re-construction.
Last night they stared
the program by raising $10,500
in ten minutes at a hastily sum
moned assembly to finance tho
clearing away of the wreckage.
