BAND PLAYS AS
POLICE STAGE
London (IP) Heigh ho tor the
wide open places! There are a tew
of them even In the heart of Lon
don, notorious for the observance of
closing hours. Tempted by the prof
it to be made In a short and sweet
span of illegal existence, socalled
clubs are opened in ereat secrecy
. and then run with the front door
wide open until the gentlemen from
the Vine Street, or Bow Street, po
lice station awive.
There is no doubt whatever about
the gentlemen from one of the
above stations arriving. The pro
prietors of the clubs wonder wheth
er it will oe tonigro or tomorrow
night and hope that they can have
at least a few weeks of soiling well
watered stimulants at one shilling
each. There is ouly one essential
difference so far as the customers
are concerned. The gentlemen from
Bow Street come in a wagon and
' take the "members and guests pres
ent" for a ride to the station. The
gentlemen from Vine Street take
only names and addresses.
A typically Londonish spirit of
"sorry you've "been troubled' per
vades the entire proceedings of t
sudden swoop by the police into
premises not conducted in accord
with the stipulations or His Maj
esty's government. There is n
smashing of bottles on the floor, no
willful destruction of the spirit of
the gathering. Ten or twelve de
tectlves v.ilk In while the band
plays "Happy Days Are Here
Again."
The gentlemen from Vine street
resemble detectives in that some 01
them wear bowler hats, but other
wise they might be taken for or
dinary Londoners who heard the
music and just dropped in to while
away a few hours.
One or two of the Vine street
visitors remain on the outer door
to keep anybody from geting into
trouble bv accidentally dropping in
while a raid is in progress and also
to see that those who have already
dropped in don't accidentally drop
out The leader of the raiders
steps behind the bar and asks for
the proprietor or proprletoress, as
the case may be. Meanwhile tne
remaining detectives start a sys
tematic checking of the customers.
The band keeps on playing.
"I am a police officer," says de
tective to customer, "May I have
your name and address, please?
"Certainly ,slr," responds the cus
tomer, "idolph Smith, 27 Glou-cester-Terrace-on-the-Hill,
Toot
ing Broadway, 8. W. 14."
"Smith is spelled in the usual
way?"
"In the usual way."
The detective passes to the next
customer, a large woman whose
bulk alone would prevent her from
escaping any drag net. "I am here
on business," says the voman.
"Not two minutes ago I packed me
dresses and put me cases away, I
did. Yes." -
"Noma and address, please," re
peats the officer.
"Name and address, -yes, mind
you don't get it wrong, now."
The complete absence of any
thing like panic is one of the out
standing features of the evening's
entertainment. The band, a three
piece organization whose pieces fit
somewhat like the parts of a fam
ily bathing suit, stops playing only
at the request of an officer.

The cause of their Indignation
was a circular quoting seven busi
nessmen and citizens individually,
and a group of eight bankers and
bank directors collectively, in op
position to the municipal ownership
yian as emoracea in uie cnarter
amendment upon which the people
wui vote.
Printed on the back page of the
folder, which was mailed to all of
the registered voters in the city by
uie water company, ur a copy of a
petition directed to Uie city coun
cil and signed by 134 businessmen
protesting against the waste of $7,
000 for an appraisal of the water
company s properties.
Many of those who signed the pe
tition to the council are strong ad
vocates of municipal ownership and
are supporting the charter amend
ment which goes the whole way in
providing a means whereby the city
may take over the water system,
and were only opposed to the fu
tility of the council's plan to drag
the matter out by seeking an ap
praisal of the properties without
providing the money with which to
consumate the purchase, or even
determining actual public senti
ment on the question of purchase.
"As explained to ns by the man
ager and attorney for the water
company that petition was a pro
test only against the $7,000 ap
praisal bond scheme then before
the council and had nothing to do
with the charter amendment which
has since been submitted to the
voters by charter amendment," said
one merchant whose name was at-1
tached to the petition.
"The use of my name as being
opposed to this charter amendment
is wholly unauthorized and several
others who signed the original pe
titlon have told me the same thing."

river wild turkey.
The bulletin aald the government
would sell on a certain date a cer
tain piece of property, but to old
timers those grinded Teterans of
sour dough days it revealed that
the old stamping grounds of Chief
Jump Off Joe was about to revert
to the whites, after technically be
ing held In the name of the Indian
since 1855.
Chief Jump Off Joe, according to
the stories which have been hand
ed down from the days when the
call of gold was rampant, was a
character among the Indians and
whites. On many occasions the
unusual physical powers and the
native cunning of the chief made
him victor In deadly combat
It was on the small plot of land,
lying 17 miles from Grants Pass,
that the chief met a man, who if
not his master, was his equal. It
was in the gathering (loom of
murky November night that Chief
Jump Off Joe and an Indian buck
named Pico met in verbal clash.
For an hour. It Is said, the men
tramped through the woods until
they arrived at piece of land
again about to be bought by white
gold. Here the battle of death
started. Stripped of their scant
presence of a group of friends bat
garments the two Indians, In the
tied. Nothing but brute force was
used. Nothing but the craftiness of
the clan was applied. Midnight
came and the men battled on, gory,
heaving men, but still fighting with
a fleros determination. rYiends
from, the cam pi ire sought to Inter
vene but to no avail. It was a bat
tle to death with no quarter.
When the grey dawn crept into
the narrow walls of the canyon
now known as Jump Off Joe creek
sll was quiet. The fight evas over.
Death had won. Jump Off Joe and
Pico were both dead.
From that day to this so far as
has been known, no Indian ever
spent a night on the plot of land.
It bad previously been set aside by
the government for Chief Jump
Off Joe because of his repeated
acts of friendship for the whites, .
The Indians claim that on every
murky night when the moon Is sn
the last quarter ths death struggle
of Jump Off Jos and Ptoo can be
heard from the fir wrapped 'tills
adjoining the creek. It is because
of this strange superstition that
none of the relatives of the dead
chief ever claimed the land.
Genoa ffl Contracts have been
let for two new Italian liners. The
Navigations Oenerale Itallana has
ordered a ship of 46,000 tons with
a speed of 20 knots and a similarly
big and fast vessel is planned by the
Lloyd Sabaudo line.

What is a bargain? Price alone cannot make one. It s what yon get tor
the price that makes the bargain. Sherwin-Williams Paints, for ex
ample, may cost slightly more per quart. But they cost less on your
walls, because each quart thoroughly covers far more surface. Fewer
quarts are needed. We recommend Sherwin-Williamt Paints becaufo
they are the world's greatest paint bargains.
