ASK $25,000 FOR WRECK INJURIES Damage claims, aggregating more than $25,000, faced Olive Smith, Olinda oil worker, and his son Albert, today in superior court where J. E. Grossnickle, his wife, Alma, and his brother, S. R. Grossnickle all of Laguna Beach had filed civil action. An auto accident in Brea canyon October 20, in which a car driven by young Albert Smith completely wrecked J. E. Grossnickle's car, it was alleged, was the basis of the action. The three plaintiffs claimed to have all received severe injuries. Injuries sustained by Mrs. Grossnickle, who claimed to have sustained fractures of four ribs and one hand, besides spraining her back and suffering bruises, formed the subject matter of one suit for $7,582. Her husband, J. E. Grossnickle, filed another action for $2,767, which included $2,500 for his injuries, an alleged broken rib, sprained hip and gash in his head; also $150 for damages to his car, $17 for medical expenses, and $100 representing loss of profit from a building contract on which he was engaged. The brother, S. E. Grossnickle, asked $15,428.55 damages, claiming $15,000 for his injuries, $288 for loss of wagon, $105.55 for medical expenses, and $35 for a dental bill. His lower teeth were loosened and a fallan upper plate broken when he struck the pavement, he claimed. A 12-inch scalp wound was sustained, it was alleged. He claimed that his hearing and vision is still impaired, that he lost the use of one arm for 30 days and that he still suffers pain in his eyes, ears, head and neck. If the weather would just settle down one way or the other for a few days we might reach an amicable understanding with the furnace.—Rockford Republic. PEARLS GOLDEN RULE TRAIN WILL BE FILLED In a letter mailed by the Los Angeles C. of C., 10 George M. Reid, secretary of the Anaheim C. of C., it is stated that the Golden Rule Sociability excursion train which will be routed over So. Calif. and Arizona will be filled to capacity. The letter also states that President William Lacy, Secretary Frank Wiggins, Frank V. Stump, editor of Southern California Business, the Chamber's official magazine, and a number of other officials and executives will be in the excursion party. The excursion will be under the personal direction of Charles P. Bayer, manager of the Organization Service Department of the Los Angeles Chamber, who is well known here and through the southwest for his activity in Chamber of Commerce organization work. In a statement from President Lacy the fact is brought out that the entire excursion party is looking forward with keen anticipation to the days that will be spent in this section of the state and express their regret that the stay in Anaheim cannot be of longer duration. He states, however, that he wants it known that the interest of Anaheim is the interest of the Los Angeles C. of C. and that that organization stands ready at all times and under all circumstances to co-operate with the local body in every way possible for the upbuilding of this community and the entire southwest. The excursion party is scheduled to arrive here on Tuesday, March 18th at 10:10 a.m. and will leave at 11:10 a.m. EGGS AND BRICKS GREET PACIFISTS CHICAGO, March 7 — Pacificism walked on tip toe about the campus of Northwestern University today and even that little group of serious thinkers who recently announced they would not take up arms even if the country were invaded, remained silent.

PEARLS Let Us Restring Your Pearls on Genuine Silk Linen for Only 75c The Jewel Box GREET PACIFISTS CHICAGO, March 7.—Pacifism walked on tip toe about the campus of Northwestern University today and even that little group of serious thinkers who recently announced they would not take up arms even if the country were invaded, remained silent. They remembered that discretion and health often go hand in hand and that neither of these attended the meeting to promote pacifism at the Wayside Grill last night. John Pletcher, from the war opponents' internationalist of Europe was to speak. But the meeting was hardly under way when a group of students who resented recent taunts that "northwestern is too proud to fight" entered, bringing eggs, half bricks and other knickknacks. The meeting broke up violently. Big Bill McElwain, football captain, today entered dentals for himself, and two teammates, Ole Magnusen and Larry Horton, that the three figured in the sudden and successful offensive. He also stated there were no pacists on the football team. The difference between movies and vaudeville is that in the former the audience does the talking.—Edwardsville Intelligencer.

(1) Chairman Butler of the committee; (2) Admiral Latimer; (3) Admiral Gregory; (4) Admiral Griffen. High naval officers were unhappy with the wisdom of conferring the oil reserves in the "Teapot" scan from the supervision of the department to the interior department when called before the naval affairs committee of the house. Rear Admiral Latimer, who is judge advocate general of the navy but not a lawyer, stated in his testimony that Secretary Denby initiated the transfer.

FINDS AMERICA SOULLESS: LAUDS LOOKING THEM OVER Mr. Wrigley Has Private Island and Personal Climate (Neal O'Hara in N.Y. World.) CATALINA ISLAND, Calif. — This is the island Bill Wrigley owns. Mr. Wrigley is discoverer of perpetual motion. His discovered he could throw 100,000,000 jaws into action by feeding 'em chewing gum. Before Anti-Saloon League found a substitute for saloon Mr. Wrigley invented a substitute for breath. He gave America spearming and doublemint. Duke of Chewing Gum now has biggest incandescent billboard on Broadway, handsomest building in Chicago and loveliest island in Pacific ocean. That's all. He got more for originating two inches of gum than Balboa did for discovering 1000 miles of Pacific coast. Catalina isn't one of those islands that's as big as a polar chip and worth half as much. It's a real place to tos sanchors overboard, with mountains, canyons, harbors, drives, villages, postfices and other nick-nacks of civilization. And-Wrigley owns the whole works, from the trained seals to the exit march. The village is a real layout, with everything from a horse through to a high school. It's got hotels, garages, cafeterias stores. You can buy anything on the island except Beeman's gum. Catalina has exceeded its quota of beauty. And Bill hasn't plastered a single roadway with billboards or spearmen. Away up on the hillside, about 8,000,000 packages of gum above sea level. Bill has erected a 40-room castle that he modestly calls his shack. Every winter, when Chicago sends out storm bulletins announcing 20 below zero for Great Lakes and points east. Wrigley hops in covered wagon he bought from Pullman factory and rolls as far west as he can. Then he hops a private yacht in Los Angeles harbor and sails 20 miles into the Pacific to his private island and personal climate. When it's 8 p.m. and six below in Chicago, Bill is shipping mint juleps here. One of the famous adjuncts of Bill's private domain are the submarine gardens and glass bottom boats. The skiff that catches all the tourist trade has a plate glass hull. You can look through the bottom and see Flora, Fauna and many other famous dames. Right off the shore of Bill's personal isle is this lovely garden under the sea level. It's one of those gardens you don't have to water because Neptune attends to that. As you gape at the hand-some submarine layout, it looks like Belasco and Reinhardt had... AUTOIST KILLED SAN RAFAEL, March 7 — Mrs. George T.

Mrs. Trowbridge was killed by a passing auto, after she had alighted from her auto following a crash with an auto bus. FINDS AMERICA SOULLESS; LAUDS WOMEN, HOWEVER Dr. Alice Salomon America in soulless. This is the conclusion of Dr. Alice Salomon, doctor of political economy, of the University of Berlin, in an account issued in Germany of her recent visit to this country. The only mitigating touch she adds when she states that the American woman is far superior to the American man. Bill's private domain are the submarine gardens and glass bottom boats. The skiff that catches all the tourist trade has a plate glass hull. You can look through the bottom and see Flora, Fauna and many other famous dames. Right off the shore of Bill's personal island is this lovely garden under the sea level. It's one of those gardens you don't have to water because Neptune attends to that. As you gape at the hand-some submarine layout, it looks like Belasco and Reinhardt had got together and dragged seaweed, seashells and water plants together for a third act ensemble to knock your eye out. You also spot large schools and colleges of fish that look up through the plate glass and ply you because you're caged in and they are free. For sideshow features Bill has seals at one end of the island that play matinees and nights, 52 weeks a year, and never get on the payroll. And in the harbor, in front of his but, he's got pelicans that put on diving exhibitions to spear careless fish with their beaks. In the spring, the Chicago Nationale, which club bill owns, come to Catalina, for their training. The island is an ideal spot to try out these athletes. The manager can pick the rookies he'll want and then drown all the rest. It is certainly some layout Wrigley rigged up for himself. They also ought to lay aside an island for the guy that invented chewing gum slot machines. Many customers of those intricate devices favor Blackwell's Island for that guy. WOMAN LOSES LIFE IN $1.000.000 FIRE LANCASTER, Ohio, March 7 — A woman is believed to have been burned to death and a man was probably fatally injured in a $1,-000,000 fire which destroyed the Hoeking Glass Plant here today.
