LAUQHS AT PASSINQ' YEARS Vtteran Ninety-One Years Young Rlflhtly an Inspiration to These Who Know Him. Comrade Searles from the Soldiers' borne at Sawtelle was over at San Gabriel the other day. He came by way of the trolley car. But could have walked easily, had he been so minded. Seventy years ago, Comrade Searles used often to pass the old mission of San Gabriel when the padres' and the Indians were still there.

Sixty years ago he carried a musket on his shoulder in the Civil war. He Is now ninety-one years young. And so he came back to this haunt of hla the other day. We found him sitting in the sun by the aide of the king's highway making sketches, He drew fascinating pictures ef the Incomparably beautiful old campanlU of the mission whose bells rang out their messages of peace and faith long before the Liberty bell In the tower of the State house In Phlladel phta rang out its deathless message in 1776. And be also sketched the old stairway of the mission whose stones are worn with the feet of countless Indian neophytes since it was bullded, a century and a half ago.

And a fine sketch, too, of the Old Grapevine which is the mother of all the vineyards In California. And we thought it a delightful experience to have had. It isn't every day that one meets a man ninety-two yean of age who la still as spry as a stee rod, and whose mind retains all Its magical faculties. It WBS Inspiring. We were proud to lift our hand to our eyebrow and stand at salute before Comrade Angeles Times.

Polynesians Mysterious Race. The area occupied by the Polynesian race In the Pacific is not less than 2,000,000 square miles. But the Ian surface within this area Is relative! small and varies from New Zealani with its 100,000 square miles to llttlu atolls barely large enough to reals the waves. The branches of the race are scattered from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south from the New Hebrides in the west to Easter island la the east, and their homogeneity is a remarkable feature. Nobody who has studied their customs, their language and their legends can doubt that they have a common origin.

A Mr. Cogan of the Willlamsbnrg section of Brooklyn, after being visited by burglars ten times, decided to depend no longer on Commissioner Enrlght. He set a bear trap inside a window of his home and caught a burglar In it, the New York Herald states. That ttarglar, it may easily be ined, will never try housebreeklnf again.

It la one thing to get caught at the crime la the ordinary way, to be taken to a comfortable police station, to be released on ball easily Jumped, to be convicted even, and sent to a prison where there are gbod food and motion pictures. Bat it is quite another thing for the criminal to feel the iron Jaws of a bear trap close on Us leg. A bear trap not coddle or release on bond. Unfortunately, every householder cannot safely set a bear' trap foe burglars. He might accidentally catch himself or his wife or the children the dog.

It it were not for that the jrhele town might well turjj trapper. i Electrified. A third of the farm land in 'now uses electricity for power.

"My reply was that in my opinion only about 30 per cent of the motion pi ture stars of today were by virtue of previous stage experience, qualified to appear in a play combining both the screen and the stage.
