Although Oxnard was included in the third deficiency appropriations bill for a $121,000 building, it was learned the fund was sufficient, for only one of ten buildings provided for the district. Several sites have been submitted. Canoga Park Given New Federal Building CANOGA PARK, Sept. 10. Representative McGroarty announced today that he has been notified by Washington that funds have been appropriated for construction of a new Canoga Park postoffice building.

The action climaxes a campaign launched cwo years ago. The Congressman said he believes the appropriation will total approximately $00,000 and that it also will be used for purchase of property.

Maybe he got afraid that if he went around eating lion steaks he might wind up by making "Tarzan" the official First Reader SAX CAB1MKL F1KSTA After having blurbed the San Gabriel Fiesta parade today as "a great display of fine horses," I discover that there are to be no horses in the line-up this year. It's a pet parade.

Can't somebody at least enter a Shetland pony to keep me from being a complete liar? BETTER AFTER. ALL Everybody is making a great to-do over returning Congressmen. Latest party on tap is for Representative Jerry Voorhis at Story Park, Alhambra, September 17. Well, there is some cause to rejoice at that. It's nice to have 'em home where they can't be doing any harm.

YOU'RE WELCOME For the benefit of hay fever sufferers now that the dry fall season is here and the air is full of dust, here is a recipe of a Midwestern victim just brought to the attention of this department: He takes all the furniture except the bed out of his bedroom. He wipes the floor with wet cloths. He hangs wet bod shoots in the bedroom in the evening, but takes them down an hour before retiring. He keeps the doors and windows of the room locked, no matter how hot it is. He washes the bed sheets every day.

The ordinary person wouldn't find hours enough in the day to take all these precautions and to try to do a little work, too. SIMPLE ENOUGH People keep calling up The Times wanting to know why the oriental conflict is called the Sino-Japanese war. "What does Sino mean?" they ask.

Mr. Webster very kindly obliges. It appears that Sinai was a Greek word used by Ptolemy in referring to a certain oriental race. The Romans picked It up as Sinae. Then it came to denote anything Chinese.

Hence it's widespread use nowadays. In brief, the Greeks had a word for it. A MEAN TRICK Speaking of things pcriogogl-cal, School Superintendent Will C. Crawford at San Diego has just demanded that teachers must tell their true ages. Looking back, some of the teachers that I had in my youth who are still on the pay roll would have to tell a white lie even to get under Methuselah's justly celebrated age record.

It hardly seems fair to try to make them confess. O. L. Rawson. inspector of the ninety-third Masonic district, was master of ceremonies.

Sept. 10. Conscientious Masons received their reward, and "stomach," members came into their own tonight at the fifteenth annual Masonic beefsteak feed here. The 1200 T-bone steaks that awaited the influx of eaters were consumed from fi o'clock on. And the other viands went the way of all edibles, too.
