Dickson of 235 South Hope street, was filed for future reference in case all other methods fail to establish who are "crooks" and who are "straight." President Drake's suggestion that the plan be tried out on the police commissioners first, failed to get a motion. Dickson's letter follows: "We submit for your approval the Dickson Honesty Detector. The method is that a traffic officer seeing a suspicious person driving an auto can have him 'phone the police department, and in two minutes the officer will be told if the driver is honest."

I KNEW that tragedy was in store for Art Acord when I saw him hanging around the hotels in Mexico City lonely and broke an exile from his owr country. If there Is one cowpuncher who has left the range for the movies and found happiness in Hollywood, he has escaped me. For most of them it has meant a lot of money, freak automobiles, dress suits, di vorces and, in the end, poverty and disillusionment.

'HE REAL ONES The real old cow hands like Will Rogers and Monte Blue steer away from Wild. West stories when they become movie actors. They loved the real thing too well to act parts in a fake Wild West the like of which never was on the earth, in the sky above the earth or in the waters under the earth. A HARD LIFE Tc To Judge from the movies, you would think that the main duty of a cow hand was to sit on corral fences and rescue the blond school-teacher from villains. Will Rogers and Monte Blue know that it meant riding out into blizzards, urging on a half-dead pony to the rescue of cattle dying of cold.

IV MACHINES 1VI while Mayor Porter is vciyj properly urging householders to paint the family roof to give em ployment, he might with equal philosophy urge the street-paving companies to use more men and fewer machines. One of these ma. chines at work at the present minute enables eighteen men to do the work of 228 men. MANIPULATION The rioting farmers of Arkansas are starving partly frcr.s drought and partly from the ma nipulation of the cotton market. If there is any business that ought to be stable it is the business of raising cotton, it is -perishable; the demand is not sub ject to any great normal fluctua tion, yet cotton is as uncertain a trying to raise snowflakes.

If other scientists were as stupid and as blind as so-called com mercial scientists, Prof. Einste and Dr. Millikan would still be arguing that the world is a flat table. N' AVY DISCIPLINE The reported mutiny on-. a British warship is a symptom.

Old methods of discipline at sea have passed. The humble gob has va rious amusing ways of disciplin ing officers who are too severe. It is no longer possible to make men do what they, consider unreason able. CISIl FANS The Izaak Walton League has figured out that there are 350 per cent more hunting and fishing fans than football so, the trout streams must be lined, elbow to elbow, from the snow-capped Sierras to the raging sea. It is true, however, that California has not been careful enough of its hunting grounds.

Foreign-born immigrant fishermen will soon wreck California as a game-fish tourist resort. WATER LEAGUE TO MEET The Southwest Water League will hold its next meeting at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the Beverly Hills Hich School. Andrae Nordskog, president and public utility engineer, will speak on the cost of Colorado River water distribution, and Ol son, attorney, on the Arizona bill of complaint. AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILtEN "A diet ain't goin' to help Cousin Jane much.

Keepin' a duck hungry don't make it look no more like a swan." (OpniJht, l.tl, TuUli lwri i') i-tNa HJ Pastor Threatens to Tale Case to Prosecutor At a packed and noisy meeting in the Health Department yestcr-day, Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, successfully defended himself against charges made against him and his department by Rev. It. P. Shuler, and the commission ruled that if the minister wishes fur ther to press his radio accusations he must furnish documentary evi-drnce.

Shuler arrhed at the hearing, conducted to permit him to explain charges he made against Dr. Par-rich over his radio, without any documentary evidence to support his charges, but he announced he desired to subpoena sixty witnesses a move that was denied. The minister had charged in a radio talk that the city health officer detained an 11-year-old girl on the "supposition" that she had a communicable disease, and that the girl had been mistreated during her detention. PARRISH EXONERATED It developed during the turbulent hearing that the reports on which Shuler based his broadcast navs been investigated before by the City Council, and Dr. Parrish exonerated of any irregularity in the detention of the girl or the conduct of his office.

Commissioner W. L. Stevens then sked Shuler if he had any specific charges to make against the offl-cial. "Yes," Shuler shouted, "I charge that Dr. Parrish is doing the biggest fool tWngs at the most Inopportune moments, that there is graft in his department and that he has exacted fees to maintain his political machine." a Dr.

Parrish leaped to his own defense and bitterly denounced the minister for broadcasting "wicked and indefensible" charges. "It's all bunk." Dr. Parrish declared. "He Just talks over the radio to make a noise. He hasn't sprung a new thing here; it's Just the way he says it." SHULER EXPECTS NO' ACTION Shuler, who, during the hearing had the floor thirty-seven times, rose from his eat in the.

front row to meet the statement. "I don't expect any action from this commission," he said. "I am going to present the facts to the District Attorney." Interrupting the oral exchanges, Commissioner Stevens reminded Shuler that the commission could not be expected to act on hearsay or anonymous and unrecorded evidence "When a man makes a charge," atavens said, "he is supposed to produce supporting evidence. Otherwise, he is unfair. If there Is any heating here we shall have to insist on facts and not on conversation." Shuler than renewed his offer to produce sixty witnesses if the commission would subpoena them for him.

PAYS FITTS VISIT "But we don't propose to go to all that trouble," Commissioner Wilke said, "unless you have some specific charges and some evidence to back them. These are Just wild charges and you've made many against other reputable persons that never were substantiated." With that Shuler was given the opportunity of filing in a proper manner with documentary evidence at some future date any charges he may wish to bring against the department. After the meeting was over Shuler appeared at Dist-Atty. Fitts's office, but he denied that it was in connection with the Health Department matter. He said he wanted to notify Fitts that he will be called as a witness in the investigation of the minister's radio which starts tomorrow.

TIRE COVER LEGEND CALLED DEFAMATORY When Mrs. Mae B. Edwards failed to get satisfaction in an automobile repair Job, she changed the advertising on her rear tire cover to condemn Maddux, according to a complaint. So Maddux, yesterday sued Mrs. Edwards for $50,000, asserting their business was being injured by the disgruntled customer's sign.

They also asked an injunction against further display of the legend, and Superior Judge Fleming set the hearing for next Monday before Superior Judge Gates.

Heavy seas at high tide yesterday, result of the gale which blew up and owners of light pleasure craft Monday's rain storm, kept fishermen busy for a few hours along the Santa Monica coast securing their boats. The high wavesfl crashing against sea walls at some points on the coast, attracted crowds but did no damage. The rain, it was Indicated by reports from outlying districts, was general throughout the Southland and resulted in a fall of an average of about .30 of an inch. Snow, borne inland on the same winds that brought the sudden rain, was deposited throughout the mountain areas.

SNOW AT RESORTS Tobogganing, skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, skating and othpr winter sports were made possible at the major resorts. Lake Arrowhead reported from 4 to 6 inches on the ground, Big Bear Lake 4 to 6 inches, Big Pines County Recreation Camp 6, Camp Baldy 3, Forest Home 1.

All automobiles should oe equipped with chains, they said, as nearly six inches of snow covered the district near Lebec, with flurries of snow still in the air last night. SPORTS CARNIVAL The snow started preparations bv the Rim o' the World League, Crest Forest Association, and the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department for conducting the annual Los Angeles municipal sports carnival at Camp Seeley on the 17th and 18th according to Raymond E. Hoyt, superintendent of the department. At Lake Arrowhead a week-end ice skating carnival will be conducted next Saturday and Sunday with a schedule calling for general skating, a hockey matchfl exhibition figure skiing, open competition skating, races for men and boys, tug-of- war on skatches, races for women and girls.

The program was arranged by E. Des Baillets, director of winter sports at the lake, and contests will be under supervision of Jack Davis, nationally-known skater. Skiing and tobogganing also will be open to lake Although it was predicted by local Federal meteorologists that today will be fair with moderate temperatures, they said a second storm is coming this way from the northwest off the coast. Thev said it may lose its intensity before reaching here and could not state when it is expected. Reports from San Joaquin Valley points and Southern California Edison Company dispatchers indicated that the Sierra Nevadas received heavy snow falls.

At Huntington Lake twenty-one inches were on the ground, Florence Lake has seventeen, Big Creek four, and Shaver Lake ten inches. Sequoia Park received 2.99 inches of snow and .61 of an inch of rain, according to John R. White, superintendent.

DOPE-CASE BAIL GIVEN BY ACTRESS Alma Rubens Reported on Way to Mother Ranch; Miss Palmer Released Eluding friends in Hollywood last lMght, Alma Rubens, who burst into the motion-picture firmament as a star and ended her meteoric screen career in two State institutions as a drug addict, was reported speeding in an automobile to her moth er's ranch near Madera after release on $5000 bail yesterday from thp San Diego Jail, where she was held on three Federal narcotic charges. The black-haired actress, supposedly cured of the drug habit, was arraigned before United States Com missioner Henry C. Ryan at San Diego for smuggling, conspiracy to smuggle and unlawful possession of narcotics. Ruth Palmer, former Ziegfeld choius girl, was arraigned on the same charges. Unable to make the $5000 bail also set for her, the New York show girl was returned to a San Diego Jail cell.

Later the amount was reduced to $500, which Miss Palmer provided and she was released. Police were searching last night for Miss Rubens's chauffeur, Edward A. Thomas, to take him into custody on the same charges faced by the actress and Miss Palmer. Commisisoner Ryan ruled that the two women must appear before him for a hearing on the triple charge on the 13th inst. The most recent escapade of the Hollywood actress, for nearly three years the center of drug investigation and cures in Southern California, started last Monday in San Diego when Miss Palmer asked police to arrest Miss Rubens for tearing her coat from her back during an altercation in Miss Rubens's car, en route to Hollywood after a three-day vacation in Agua Caliente, Mexican pleasure resort.

Counter-charges that she had been robbed of $9000 worth of Jewels by Miss Palmer and Thomas brought about search of Miss Rubens's room in the U. S. Grant Hotel, where San Diego police asserted they found a dress belonging to Miss Rubens in which $5000 worth of morphine was sewed in the lining. Hollywood friends said last night that Miss Rubens evidently had avoided her usual Hollywood haunts (Continued on Page Column 2) Murrel Flnley An introduction at a Broadway party several years ago has culminated in the marriage of Murrel Finley, motion-picture actress, and former stage girl, and Edward Cronjager, Hollywood cincmatog-rapher.
