Feb. 28. Still Vchahmin" weather, as Mr. Van Porter would say. Hopped a bus for a ride out Wilshire, perching on the top, whore the ocean breezes blow. Outside of the Fifth Ave. biwse,s in New York, nothing in the country can compare with the L. A. busses from Pershing Square to Santa Monica via Beverly Hills. They are fast, service is ex cellent, and one nets a birdseye view without getting off the ground or very far off. Near Bullocks Wilshire the Goodyear blimp passed over like a bloated silver fish, trailing a sign advertising the best tires on earth, so m-ar the ground one could see figures in the funny little gondola. Our next door neighbor volunteers the information the blimp has been flying over southern California for ten years and never had an accident. That is certainly an advertisement for blimps! Even on swanky Wilshire atmosphere entirely. Near the imposing dwelling 'ells the world "When my health breakfast moves in, negative thoughts and constipation move out, signed by the eminent Doctor Perchkoff, there was more to the ad vertisement but the bug went by too fast for us to make it out. . We wonder just what NEGATIVE thoughts are. Perhaps we better go up there for breakfast some morning and find out. The charge is only 50 cents, and would be a very interesting person, and might give us a few hot tips on the final big race, which comes off tomorrow. Did you ever see any customers in a pet shopf Of course they must have oustomers or they would all have to go but of business. There are always however so many on the outside looking in and so few on the inside looking out. A bunch of snappy looking airedale puppies were having a grand time in one of the pet shops as we sped by, and there must have been 25 people watching the performance from the sidewalk. It would have been hard for any customers to have gotten in if they had wished to And we are quite certain there wasn't a customer, immediate or potential among them. Ah there is another intriguing 'sign, in that vine covered bungalow none other than Rev. William E. Gladstone holds forth, and will, if properly approached, give you psychic anal ysis, astral prognosis, mental health manipulations and all for one dollar. It is really a very inviting looking place. We won der if he lias followed the example of the Pasadena "mortcinn" and serves tea and cakes to those who drop in every afternoon. ,. There is still plenty of real estate along Wilshire which one can buy or lease for 99 years. Some dandy corner lots too. And as far as we were nblo to note there is'.iust one new building going up in all the ton miles from Pershing Square to the Los Angeles golf club. Several down town however are having their faces lifted in fact we have never seen so much of that going on, any place, anywTiero, any time. The popular trans formation is from a dull dirty grey to a bright cream stucco. Incidentally tho lumber business is not benefitted by this sort of work for the scaffolding isn't made of .timber but of iron pipe, put up and taken down like erecto blocks in a child's play room. Probably that isn't new but we never before-happened to notice it.. When taking it down, the workmen run about up there high in the air on a couple of planks like squir rels. Do you suppose any normal human being could bo fitted for that sort of work with the proper training or does it require a certain peculiar temperament, a certain type of nervous sys tem! We have an idea, there are some people no matter how carefully they wero trained or how hard they tried who could never do work high up in the air, skyscrapers, smoke stacks, bridges, or what have you. They just aren't air minded just as others aren't golf minded. ' And speaking of golf we alighted at the Los Angeles Country club in Beverly Hills just in time to see the finals in tho ladies' golf tournament, between Miss Abbott and Miss Thompson, won by the former rathor easily although on tho first 18 they wefe all square. It was the old old story, r youngster without much tournament experience against an old hand with a lot of it, the youngster held np nicely for a while but finally couldn't stand the strain, and it was all over but the shouting.. So history repeats itself saw Miss Abbott win the same tourna ment at the same place two years ago, though then it was no match at all, merely. n walk away. How good is Miss Abbott f Well on a difficult courso she sohot a 79 that is she Could spot Gene Thorndiko a stroke a hole and beat him 18 up, (this for tho boys at the club who would liko a line on the sort of golf the gals play here in southern California I) . . Met an old codger in tho gallery from Pasadena who knows Chan Egan well and saw him win a lolig driving contest in Chicago in the year of our Lord, 18971 That is what ho said, we asked him twice. Chan was 14 and wore short pants. Can't go into Unit further today better luck tomorrow. R. V. R. E JBRSFTV OITT. N.

Local police charged the wealthy woman with being a fiigitlvt from Justice and attempting suicide.

CaL BLUE MONDAY BRINGS Back in the days before the de pression when the Bread and M1U club waa crowded, and we had to close the adrala- a 1 o n of new members, the q u a 1 1 f t cations were quite sim ple. To qualify for membership one had only, to be a sound In valid. , make a d e c 1 a r atlon of good faith and renounce forever his or her Intem perate habits. The Initiate pro mised io eat only what he or she wanted when he wanted It, no mat ter who his cook or host or what the occasion; and to set aside one day in each week a day of respite for his general metabolism. Officially Mon day la designated as bread and milk day. but this la a free club and every member may choose his own blue day to suit his own convenience, only so It Is a fixed day the year round. The thought behind the original designation of Monday waa obvious so many poor geeks put In euch strenucus week-ends sitting and tak ing on fuel. The doors of the BScM club were first thrown open to general mem bership Nov. 7, 1914 I wonder how many charter members are atlll blue Mondays We were astonished and terrified by the crush of applicants; we had planned for five hundred new members, but we had to accommo date more than ten thousand. There were no duea and no taboos other than that against Intemperance Mon days. By the way, If you ohew, smoke or drink you had better not apply; st least you can't have any on Mon day. Blue Monday of every week (or any other da of the week to suit Individ ual convenience) B&M club members take no other food but a glassful (8 to 8 ounces) of mtlk and some bread stuff of one kind or another every three hours from rising In the morn ing up and Including the bedtime snack Just before turning In at night. That would give six glasses of milk a day, from 39 to 48 ouncea, and from four to eight ounces of bread. Milk yields 30 calories to the ounce, bread 76 calories to the ounce, giving a grand total of 1300 calories more or leu for the day. As a bare mainten ance diet for an adult lying abed contains approximately 1800 calories, and one for an adult up and moving I about or doing light office work Is 3500 calories, it becomes apparent the B&M club members give the poor old metabolism a bit of a rest blue Mon. day. What that will do for your ey- News Behind the News (Continued S 4 1020 average 119 104.8 109.1 106 111 117 . 95.3 1B31 average 81 17.4 87.8 76 S3 63 73.0 1033 average , 76 69.0 47.5 58 67 37 65.9 1034 average 79 78.8 61.9 63 76 33 74.9 1935 average 90 83.1 . 70.3 63 79 37 80.0 1935 Jan. 90 80.5 64.1 64 73 37 78.8 Feb. 80 81.0 89.1 65 76 38 79.5 Oct 95 83.6 75.0 64 77 48 80.6 Nov, 08 84 8 74.5 66 . 81 60 80.6 Dec. 104 85.6 76.6 71 84 67 80.8 1036 Jan 99 85.0 73.3 70 70 62 80.6 Feb.

They really do not reflect any general change of buslneaa trend. What happened waa that the sta tistically Influential automobile In dustry produced heavily during De cember and January Instead of in tne spring. So also with building con tracts. Th law required the gov ernment to let a lot of contract In December and January, when few contracta are awarded ordinarily. Thus the November-December-Jan uary flgurea really represent a atatla tlcal bump rather than any accumu lation of muscle or fat. The weather has brought some hes itation within the automobile Indus try. As aoon a the roads clear up. they will get good test of what kind of market to expect. Production then can be planned mora Intelli gently. No sine knows any more than that about It now. The extent to which production has dropped la shown by unit production of 408 for Dei-ember and 367 for Jan uary, while February waa figured un officially a few daya ago around 265. That would put February under a year ago. when the figure was 336. Every major Index of buslneaa for January and February (except auloal will be above those of a year ago. Officials are worried about the em ployment decrease during the last 60 daya. which may turn out to be larger than Indicated In the chart. Steel business Insiders do not know whether all the good things coming their way will mean a permanent turn or a fictitious one. All kinds of ma chinery business Is taking steel now and structural steel orders have picked up. Good estimates about what to ex pect tn the building pick-up are hard to gM. The volume will he much higher than laM year, but there is an ln-i?aing quMlon about a building boom. One trouble seems to be thai A METABOLIC REST. trouble you never can tell till you try. We prefer Certified Milk because It Is the purest, choicest milk obtain able. But it costs and Is well worth a premium over ordinary milk. Sec ond choice. Grade A Raw milk from tuberculin tested cows; thla milk should have 'the approval of your home physician or local health office. Third choice, just milk which you yourself make safe by scalding, that Is, you should boil it for one minute only before you drink It. Fourth choice la Pasteurized milk most market milk comes bearing the label Pasteurized. For the bread, we prefer plain wheat ground at home, baked or cooked in one recipe or another. (Directions in monograph "What to Eat," on request, if you inclose s.a.e) Second choice ordinary bread, crack ers, roll, biscuit, cookie, cake or whatever carbohydrate k nick knack you can find In the pantry. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ; Injection Treatment : Can the injection treatment for varicose veins be used successfully on veins in hands and arms which are too prominent? , . . (Mrs. H. F. V.) Answer Yes. Flora In Colon Would a combination of butter milk and white sugar, with a dlot free of proteins destroy the excessive bacteria In the colon and encourage the growth of good bacteria? (LJ.) Answer No. A diet Including plen ty of milk and vegetables and oereals encourages a vigorous growth of the desirable bacteria and keeps the field unfavorable for the growth of putre factive bacteria. Sugar of any kind, and starches not too well cooked pro mote this result. Sore Spot In Breast A month ago I received a blow on the breast. A spot haa been slightly sore ever since, never painful, Just tender enough to be felt. It worries me, because of the possibility of I cancer. I am 33, married . . . (D. M. J.) , Answer If you were 44 you might reasonably be anxious, but at your age cancer Is extremely rare. If the tender spot remains after you have let it alone for a month, then have you physician's advice.' Sugar and Salt How much sugar and salt should a man SO years old consume? I get moderate Indoor exercise , . , (A. H.) - Answer Perhaps an average of four ouncea of sugar and one-eighth to one-fourth ounce of salt dally. Ed.

Having Just seen an old friend off for bis home town I returned through the boll of the evening rush with a back yonder tingle. A sort of tug for the d r o w z e of peaceful village in contrast to the galloping madness of the current scene I Our tow cleave to the swerve of a. river Li bend and la nev- fcni nir i.wBl a during that hour between thin lemon sunshine and purpling dusk. While New York re leasee Its hordes In maddening erup tion our town merely dries up like rain onthe Sahara. There Is no greater peace than that whlcn descends on the small town when day is done. It becomes wrapt In a calm that Is breathless. The even-song of birds, the murmur of trees, the noises of the street seem to whisper a respectful accolade to a dying day. No sound I have heard has the ex quisite loneliness, a sublimity what suggest Oethsemene, like the tolling vesperal bells of a tiny Ivied church. And there's . something exquisitely poignant about the valiant efforts of crickets to chirp an overtone of cheer. I've known the city many more years than the small town and it's possible my occasional nostalgia is specious sentimentality. It is always at sundown and seems lnourable. I think I want to go back but shrink .from going fearful I shall miss th roars and excitements that make a city detestable yet hypnotic. I read my home dally regularly. A personal Item that the Squire Maucks, Harry Maddy end others I know have been guests at this party and. that whelps a longing yet I know ao many passing years have lapsed our friend ships Into mutual restraint. It would take weeks to get back on the fa miliar, long ago basis. Several years ago I ran into a fellow with whom I had spent innumerable hours, hours that ran Into daya and days into weeks, when each was younger. It was an affectionate and joyous reunion that is for about a half hour. Then we ran out of talk. We forced a cor diality, and Interest we did not feel and finally made excuses and drifted off. We should not have tried to bridge the gap in one meeting. Some thing happened neither could explain. We have met several times since, but always with a flick of em harassment. We would have been better off with only our memories. In three-sheeting the small town I am conscious life's pattern, there can be deadly dull. I know the monotony of the porchy folk "ketchin up with their sittln'", the narrowness that often creates venomous talk and bore dom. Yet my moments of greatest ennui have been tn such cities as New York, London and Paris. My wife and I once fled from Berlin, whither we had gone for a month. In 24 hours, overwhelmed by the emptiness of its royal pageantry and pomp. I've never remained in a smalf town 48 hours without a feeling of kinship and a sneaky notion It would not be bad to remain permanently. My small town, of course, was that of 35 years ago. Since then has come the civilizing Influence of the movie, the radio, the automobile. Frontiers are completely abolished. My town was the berg of the Sunday suit, the dollar excursion, the county fair, the river show boat and the Kitty Bell aire Repertory Company. The onyx soda fountain with its silvern row of fascinating flavors Included that one of eternal mystery labeled "I Don't Care." Also the street corner medi cine show with its black-faced ban Jolat. the low handle-barred bicycle and yellow buttoned shoes. The day. of the balloonist who floated away wearing green spangled tights hang ing by his toes to a trapeze. Often landing at Smelt2ra Mill, two miles away I I have often thought that the blood of small town living that once seem ed so pulsating to me has been en feebled, made thin. Perhaps in a war with its own limitations. A war that spawned so many inventions to make things eajy. I don't suppose anyone rushes out on frosty mornings any more with a kettle of hot water to get the cistern handle going. And the hickory rocker haa probably given away to something In plush and chromium. The gentlest, friendliest glow in the world, the kerosene parlor lamp, is now a mazda wonder. Even so. the small town encompasses that charm of security, the dramas of seir sacrifice and a loyalty the city doos not attain. I still want to back. Or think I do, (.Copyright. 1930, McNaught Syndicate) LEASED BY FUJI QumJI Fujlmoto. for 18 years asso ciated with the Hotel Medford In the capacity of chef and buyer, lraed the remodeled Hotel Holland coffee i.hop und will open It for buslnev on Tuesday, he announced yesterday The shop has been closed tempora rily, and haa been completely re equipped and made modern in every respect.

(API While Fascist aentrles occupied Amba Alajl. easing the sting of a bitter defeat of 40 years ago, Italian soldiers and warriors of Ras Kaasa clashed today In the Temblen section of the north ern front.
