Anaheim, Calif., March 15, 1928 EUROPE UNGRATEFUL Americans remembering the many things which the people of the United States have done for suffering humanity, occasionally get a shock when they read that the people of Europe, or at least the newspapers across the Atlantic, seem to regard Uncle Sam as a sort of international Shylock, seeking the last pound of flesh whenever and wherever he can get it. In view of the fact that during the war we "gave until it hurt," conserving our resources and energies not only for our own soldiers but for the boys of our associates in the war; considering that we have made debt settlements which ought to be regarded as decidedly generous, in the case of France making a reduction which virtually wipes out all of the debt contracted before the armistice was signed; and in further view of the fact that we have always rushed in to feed the starving populace of any unfortunate country in Europe or Asia, it often occurs to the average American to wonder what we have done to deserve the charge of "shylocking."

Officers Interrupt Cock-Fighting Game Six Participants and Spectators Arrested and Fined The ancient but no longer honorable sport of cock-fighting brought six men into legal disrepute in Justice K. E. Morrison's court at Santa Ana. Each was fined $25. In the absence of payment, the sextet are being held in the county jail, where they first registered Sunday night, in the custody of Deputy Sheriffs Harry Carter, Arthur Steward, and J. L. Ellott. The prisoners included three Americans: Joe Johnson, M. A. Brown, and A. Gunhart; and three Mexicans, V. Malindas, Y. Quwarro, and Luis Lagunis. They were a part of a crowd of several hundred persons discovered in assembly in an arena at Northam when the deputy sheriffs swooped down upon that section late Sunday. Observing several dead game cockets scattered about, the officers gathered in six of the throng and brought them to jail. In court, the three Americans said they had not been engaged in the sport, but admitted "they were there." The court informed them that attendance upon a cock fight constitutes guilt of the offense in question. "Then we're guilty," the trio stated. "I agree with that conclusion," the court announced. The Mexican defendants, unable to speak English, had more difficulty in appraising themselves of the situation, but finally decided that they, too, were guilty. At first they were scornful of the implication that they had been mixed up with a cock fight. "I traded a rooster for a dog," Malindas volunteered.

Heavy Fines for Polluting Water Pay $400 for Allowing Waste Oil to Escape Into River Allowing waste oil to escape into the Ventura river and thereby damaging fish and plant life, was a costly error on the part of two companies operating in the Ventura field, when fines of $400 were assessed when the defendants were brought into court through the efforts of the deputies of the division of fish and game. Reports coming into the office of Commissioner George B. Clarkson recite the details of the proceedings. Finding oil running into the river, deputies working under the direction of Walter Emerick, stationed at Ventura, traced the pollution to the McKeon Drilling Corporation and the Bolsa Chica Oil Company. Warrants were issued and the representatives of the two companies hailed into court. Walter Claberg, county warden, and Lawrence Gardner, a volunteer deputy of the fish and game division, worked up the McKeon case, and when the defendant waived a preliminary hearing, Superior Judge Dimmick levied a fine of $200, which was paid. Deputies Emerick and Bedwell of the fish and game patrol force secured the evidence against the Bolsa Chica company, and Judge Henderson fined them $200 in the justice court of Ventura. However, the judge suspended $100 of this fine during good behavior, but warned the offenders that a recurrence would necessitate the payment of the additional "century." "Good work. The ocean and the waters of Southern California have got to be kept clean, and I am glad to see this speedy action." Commissioner Clarkson remarked, upon hearing of the disposition made of the Ventura county cases. For a between meal lunch in winter time, tomato juice may be heated, seasoned with a little butter, salt and bay leaf, and served as a warm drink with a cracker. Pillows Are Not Sanitary Unless They're Clean MANY housewives would be very much startled if they could "see inside" the pillows which are in daily use. Dirt and MANY housewives would be very much startled if they could "see inside" the pillows which are in daily use. Dirt and dust filtered thru the ticks and feathers harbor many disease germs. In many households the same pillows are used year after year, summer and winter, in sickness and health, without laundering—a hazardous practice.
