FIND THREE STILLS IN BOOTLEGGER'S DEN LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31. — Gun blay and two fights marked the arrest of three Italians, James Firero, Tony Ferrara and Frank Chilena, and the discovery of a bootlegger's den at Palms by prohibition enforcement officers early today. A hard struggle ensued in which one of Firero's ribs was broken. Overpowered by the officers, Firero led them to a house in Palms where he said, he had obtained the liquor. As they approached the house Ferrara appeared with a gun. While he was aiming it one of the officers seized him. Inside the house the officers found three stills, a quantity of mash and a large quantity of moonshine brandy. The three men were taken to the county jail, where they were booked on charges of violating the Volstead act.

Those present were urged to give liberally when the campaigners come to them. The scheduled speakers from San Diego were not present, having been deterred by the rain. The speaker of the evening was Charles N. Miller, regional executive of the 12th region embracing Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah and the Hawaiian Island. He said that one of the things that struck his eye in the story of the catastrophe in the Washington theatre was the statement: "The Boy Scouts stood guard all night." He said Boy Scouts also went to the rescue work in the San Francisco fire, and were on guard at the disarmament conference. He stated that the boy looks up to the man, and that from the age of 12 the boy passes from the companionship of his mother, climbs over the back fence, gets into the company of other boys who have climbed over the back fence, and they all travel together—up the alley. When they get to where the alley merges with Main-st they find the corner loafer, and since the boy doesn't care whether he goes wrong or right as long as there is adventure and activity, and and the result is—the contents in the letter read from the warden. It costs the state $41,000,000 to combat crime. And how did the boy get to prison? He got there because he never had a chance. He said you can't throw a dare to our American boy, and the object of the Boy Scouts is to get the right kind of an influence before the boy at the most pliable time in his life. He said that it is something not to be counted in dollars and cents, and that the big item in the movement is not to get boys but men, who will do for the boys to fashion after. "Your field lies all about you," he declared. "Your boys are your gold; dig them out." SOLEMN PONTIFICAL MASS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.—Rt. Rev. John J.
