CONGRESS COSTS BILLIONS PER YEAR (By A. O. HAYWARD) (L. N. S.

Wadda Hort Rawling Los Angeles Saturday Only E BILL Rogers FAITH" Valton Bath Lady" MARIE PREVOST IN FLAPPER PHOTOPLAY A flapper who dances, smokes drinks and turns the heads of the idle rich is the heroine of "The Beautiful and Damned," the Warner Brothers drama, starring Marie Prevost, which open today at the California theatre. This is the screen adaptation from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, which has run into many editions. The scenic was written by Olga Printzlau. The story of "The Beautiful and Damned" centers about New York's giddy night life of cakes, cabarets and theatres, and has for its principal characters a group of graceful idleys who do not know what the word work means. Anthony Patch, the grandson of old millionaire Adam Patch, lives in New York, frittering away his time and waiting till his grandfather should die and leave his millions. He attends a party given by Gloria Gilbert, lovely flapper and instantly falls in love with her. Grandfather Patch is happy thinking his grandson has turned over a new leaf. He decides to pay the newly married couple an unexpected visit; when he arrives he finds the house a scene of revelry and drunken riot. Infuriated and broken-hearted he returns to his home where he dies a week later. When the will is ready, Gloria and Anthony discover that they are disinherited, and are left penniless without a single resource of brain or skill to capitalize. The struggles and final triumph following this climax provide many high lights in this realistic picture of last life and foolish flappers.

REALTOR HALTS CHARGING STEED Fiction writers often tell a thrilling tale of some village "simp" or backwoods "greenhorn" suddenly emerging into public favor by saving the beautiful belle of the community from being dashed to pieces in the pel-mell charge of a runaway horse. Altho such things are common on the reel, they seldom happen in real life, but Fullerton was given a touch of the real thing yesterday afternoon on North Spadra road when the beautiful belle was a bunch of young children going home from school, and the dashing young hero was William N. Irwin, well-known Fullerton realty man. A stray horse came down the road towards the children at a dangerous pace. Mr. Irwin jumped from his car ran in front of the oncoming steed waving his hands and commanded the intruder in a loud voice "Whoa". He did, and Policeman G. Annin took the horse into custody to await the appearance of his owner. DECREE BY DEFAULT An order to enter a default was filed today in the case of Effie Estelle Gordon vs. Adial Edgerton Gordon.
