WE ARE MAKING MORE FRIENDS EVERY DAY Halloween Is Almost Here MAKE US A VISIT AND SEE OUR LARGE STOCK OF GOODS FOR THIS OCCASION DO IT NOW Tnr-Monrhfl GroctryTo: COL02000- Today, Monday, October 27, is the anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt, who during a long public life endeared himself to the American people as one of the truest representatives of the spirit and ideals of Americanism. The anniversary was appropriately observed in the schools with patriotic songs and readings by the principals of extracts from the writings and speeches of the late president, in pursuance of suggestions sent out to them by Superintendent John Franklin West.

The very simplicity of the exercises as well as the ideal character of them made them impressive. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people paid tribute to the memory of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt yesterday afternoon in Library park, the affair, which was almost on the anniversary of Roosevelts birth, being even more successful than had been hoped for. A perfect afternoon, combined with a band concert, a splendid tribute to the dead statesman by his friend, Dr. James A. B.

Scherer, the presence of many prominent citizens combining to make the occasion impressive and attractive. Frank S. Wallace, chairman of the Roosevelt Memorial fund committee, was the presiding officer of the afternoon. Dr. Robert Freeman pronounced the benediction and delivered the Invocation.

Dr. Scherer, president of Throop College of Technology, in his tribute, eminded his hearers of that time fears ago when Colonel Roosevelt, fresh from his hunting trip, came .0 his city and was greeted by such an audience as Pasadena had never produced before. Through-Put his address Dr. Scherer inculcated the lessons of Americanism as derived from the teachings of Col-snel Roosevelt. Beautiful Flag Tribute One of the most beautiful of the program were the flag Exercises In charge of Dr.

C. D. Lockwood, former major in the irmy. Dr. Lockwood, representing the Loyal Legion, made of this feature one of the most impressive of the afternoon and through it the loyalty of Roosevelt to the flag, his personal courage as a fighter for the flag, was linked with Roosevelts constant warfare for better government and a better country.

Major N. J. Shupe of the American Legion was in charge of the actual flag-raising and spoke briefly. Chairman A. L.

Hamilton of the city commission, in a felicitous little talk presented Chairman Wallace of the day. Chairman Wallace pointed out in his remarks that there is now a a opportunity for all to show in a practical way their admiration of Roosevelt. He urged those who desired to join the ranks of the Roosevelt Memorial association, membership in which costs but one dollar, and he called attention to the fact that the memorial campaign is now going forward in Pasadena as well as in all parts of the United States, and that those at the meeting could aid in this work by calling at their banks today and placing their subscriptions. Chairman Wallace introduced Dr. Scherer as briefly as he could, for he said that great men needed no introduction, and in commenting upon this Dr.

Scherer told of that time when he had the privilege to ac as chairman at a great Roosevelt meeting, when the introductory address consisted of one sentence: "I introduce to you Theodore Roosevelt, the American. Dr. Scherer Pays Tribute Dr. Scherer gave the personal touch to his address, relating many interesting episodes in the life of the dead statesman, incidents which had come under his personal observation during the years of their friendship. He took as the text for his tribute Roosevelt's own estimate of personal importance, in which the dead former President said: The leader, for the time being, whoever he may be, is but an instrument, to be used until broken and then to be cast aside; and if he is worth his salt he will care no more when he is broken than a soldier cares when he is sent where his life is forfeit in order that the victory may be won.

In the long fight for righteousness the watchword for all of us is spend and be spent. It is of little matter whether any one man fails or succeeds; but the cause shall not fail, for it is the cause of mankind. We, here in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if. we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men.

At the same time, there will be present a delegation from the Mexican Settlement house of this city, by courtesy of Mrs. E. B. Fuessele.

In this way, the; are doing an educational work. Mrs. Fuessele is particularly interested in this department. The Rivals is one of the standard plays of the English speaking stage. It is one of those comedies that never grows old, wherefore it is revived by many playing units each year.

J. Finnucane and J. Calhoun, other Pasadena men in the accident which resulted in Bu-siks death, were very much improved and would recover. LONDON, Oct. 27.

The new Viscount Astor, after vainly trying to divest himself of the peerage, has consented to his wife becoming a candidate from Plymouth to succeed him in the house of commons, it was learned today. Maj. AValdorf Astor, American born, came into the title with the recent death of his father. This automatically vacated his seat in commons and transferred him to the house of lords. He was deeply interested in politics and did not take kindly to the change.

According to his intimates, he seriously undertook to rid himself of the title, only to be told that it wasnt done. SURVEY UNDER AVAA' The survey of the school facilities of Pasadena by the committee of the board on education, buildings and equipment is under way. He ROOSEVELT against President Taft, who was backed by the party machine and the so-called stand-patters. He did not want to make the race, and it was against his own best judgment that he was persuaded at last to enter the contest. Once in, however, he fought with his whole being.

One state after another, in the primary campaign, pledged its delegates to him. But the party machine was in the hands of his enemies, and in the convention held in Chicago rn June they used it relentlessly to effect his defeat. The progressives, refusing to vote, marched out of the convention hall, leaving a disgruntled majority to carry through the program of the conservative leaders. A new Progressive party sprang into being overnight and in August, amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm, mingled with a devotion to a high cause absent hitherto from political conventions, nominated Theodore Roosevelt for President. The ensuing campaign was fierce and rancorous.

At the height of it Roosevelt was shot by a fanatic in Milwaukee as lie was entering an automobile on his way to a mass meeting he was about to address. He insisted on making his speech, went to the hospital, and after two weeks was again on his feet, campaigning. In the three-cornered election in November he polled over four million votes, but was defeated by AVoodrow AATlson, the Democratic candidate. Once more his enemies rejoiced and said that he was done for. He took his defeat with the same good grace and humor with which he had taken victory in the past, returned to his editorial work, wrote his autobiography, and accepted the popular verdict that he was out of politics.

In the autumn of 1913 he went to South America to address numerous learned bodies there and to make an exploring expedition into the jungles of Brazil, to which he had long looked forward. His journey from capital to capital in South America was a repetition of his triumphal progress through Europe. His plunge into the Brazilian wilderness, on the Other hand, was infinitely more hazardous than the African trip. For months he and his expedition were completely out of touch with the outside world. He discovered a hitherto unknown river, vaguely indicated on existing maps as the River of Doubt, and at imminent risk of disaster explored the 900 miles of its course.

The trip was indescribably arduous and full of peril; his life was constantly in danger in the treacherous rapids and along the fever-infested banks; savage Indians shot tlieir poisonous arrows unseen out of the dark tangle. One after another his canoes were crushed in the rapids; one after another his men sickened. Finally he himself was laid low with fever, and for forty-eight hours was deadly He pleaded with his son Kermit. who was with him, and with the Brazilian officers who had been assigned to his expedition by the government, to leave hint behind and push on, in order that the whole expedition might not suffer the catastrophe which was always imminent of death by starvation. His companions refused to leave him.

By a great effort of will he raised himself from his sick bed and plunged on with them from rapids to rapids, until at last, when disaster seemed inevitable, a post on the river bank with the carved initials of some rubber trader indicated that they were on the outskirts of civilization once more. For weeks thereafter Roosevelt lay tossing with fever on the bottom of the canoe as they drifted down the placid reaches of the river. The Brazilian government, in honor of his exploit, christened the river he jhad found the Rio Teodoro. OPENS TONIGHT of Mrs. Malaprop in The Rivals, Community theater tonight.

Clinton Churhill Clarke, recently elected president of the Community Playhouse association for the third time, has just returned from his summers vapation. He was more than pleased with the arrangements made for The Rivals. In the near future, Mr. Clarke will announce his standing committees for the year. The Rivals will be repeated each evening and Saturday matinee during the week.

Although there has been a steady demand for seats, good ones are still to be had for all performances, at the box office. CiTYS PROPOSED HOLE COURSE 'El With John Duncan Dunn, an expert on golf and golf grounds, Commissioner J. J. Hamilton and Jacob Albrecht, superintendent of parks, this morning inspected the propose deighteen-hole municipal golf course in the Arroyo Seco to determine the cost of clearing the property and installing a golf course. Mr.

Dunn stated that the location was ideal and that Pasadena wmuld be able to present the tourist an dthe home people a golf course equal, if not superior, to the golf courses in the old country. communted upon the wonderful view of the mountains and the adaptability of the arroyo bed to golf. He stated, also, that he believed that a municipal course was necessary to compete with other cities which are maintaining courses in order to care for the tourists. His 'Ottomobile' Was All Busted Up, Says Report to Police The oUomobile was all busted up. Thus graphically does G.

Bor-quez of oaO South Fair Oaks avenue tell what to him at 3:15 oclock jesterday morning when he droe his car into a pole at the corner of Fair Oaks acuue and Columbia street. ith Borquez were two other men and the police were quickly on the scene to ascertain responsibility. They brought the lr-tims of the accident, none of whom was seriously hurt, to the police station. Thc ascertained that the driver and his companions were not infringing the war lime prohibition act by submitting them to suitable tests, probably asking them to pronounce truly rural, which is authoritatvely stated to be unpronounceable by one who has disobeyed the injunction during the demobilization period. It is certified by the police that Mr.

Borquez's description of what happened to Ids ottomo-bilo is authentic, as it was neatly draped about the pole when the police responded to the hur-rj-up call from that section. Moving with unwonted alacrity quite out of keeping with judicial calm, Police Judge Frank C. Dunham this morning was pressing toward the city hall. Something big on? he was asked. A bit late, sententiously remarked the court.

AA'hats the big idea? Are you changing the court hour? No. Its a quarter after nine now, replied the judge. Tlds was the first recorded instance of the many this morning among those whose clocks were still saving daj light for their ow ners. The thoughtful ones rolled over Sunday morning witli the comfortable feeling that they had still an hour of respite? It was like bread cast upon the waters for the hour donated to the cause of efficiency last spring was paid hack at 2 oclock a. m.

Sunday. Others, however, who had been used to a Sunday afternoon ride found in many instances that they had not timed themselves correctly and came hack after dark all because the smiling sun refused to pay any attention to mans mandates. In the main there were few yesterday morning who were too early for church for the big bells were a reminder of the changed time. Trains departed an hour late on Saturday night so as to rearh their destinations on time under the new schedule and the local electric service simply set its clocks hack an hour and went on as usual.

There for a year he hunted big game lion and elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, ostrich and hippopotamus, meeting strange peoples andtperil-ous adventures. He emerged from the jungle at Khartoum inApril, 1910, to be greeted by a cheer of welcome that echoed around the world.

His journey down the Nile and through Europe was a triumphal progress extraordinary in its evidence of admiration and wonder. He made formal addresses before half a dozen learned bodies, stirring up a hornets nest in Cairo by his denunciation of a recent political as-as6ination, another in Rome by refusing to allow his freedom of action to be circumscribed by the papal authorities, a third in London by criticizing Englands government of Egypt. At Christiania he received the Nobel prize, awarded to him the year previous for his efforts in bringing about the Peace of Portsmouth: in Berlin he reviewed, at the kaisers side, the crack troops of the empire. Altogether, it was a memorable journey. He returned to the United States to find the party, which he had left united and vigorous after its recent victory, disrupted by hitter factional strife, and slipping rapidly toward disaster.

In the struggle between the progressive and the reactionary elements he could not stand to one side in dignified neutrality. He espoused the progressive cause and in the campaign of 1910 fought with all the energy that was in him for the overthrow of boss rule in New A'ork state. He was decisively beaten after a contest that was bitter in the extreme. His enemies shouted that he was politically dead. He withdrew, to Sagamore Hill and his editorial work on the staff of the Outlook, and, for the moment, let his foes rejoice.

But the struggle into which he had thrown, with such seeming recklessness, the stake of his great reputation, had been scarcely checked by the mid-term defeat. Pasadena Girl Is Rated Perfect By U. Gym Expert Miss Iskah Thrall, a former Pasadena girl, is one of the nine super girls and competitors of Venus de Milo found at the University of California by the director of the womens gymnasium, Miss Ruth Elliot, and it was while residing there that Miss Thrall attained the physical ilcveiopnient that resulted in this extraordinary distinction. It is held by Miss Elliot that to be a follower of Aenus a girl must be adept in the art of self-defense, swimming and other athletics, while the girls of the university argue that it is not necessary for a girl to be a swimmer and a boxer if she excels in health and grace and measures up in weight and inches. All of which controversy was begun by Frank Kleeburger, director of physical activities for men, when he found five super men among the university athletes.

Miss Elliot retaliated by announcing nine super women. and since that time the campus has been rife with the controversy. Interest is added to the contest by the fact that three Southern California women, one of whom is Miss Thrall, are among the nine avowedly perfect specimens of womanhood.
