The slogan contest had been running for three months and was difficult to settle. It seemed impossible to secure in one short phrase that which would adequately describe this popular beach community. There wore 158 slogans submitted from various parts of Orange county and from Los Angeles There were 76 contestants. The Viele family of Costa Mesa won the honor of turning in the largest number of slogans, a total of 57. While Miss Tudor was nearest to the slogan finally chosen, honorable mention goes to seven other's who had some part of the slogan included in their offerines.

Hunt of Arizona, conferred Wed nesday at the Biltmore Angeles, in an effort to work out a plan for a new highway to link St on the Arrowhead trail with the north rim of the Grand Canyon of Arizona. At the present time the north rim of the Grand canyon is virtually inaccessible to the tourists un less they take long trips on horseback. The section between the Hr and the Nevada line is isolated and practically undeveloped. Near St. Thomas, across the Muddy river from that town in Nevada, archaeologists recently discovered a buried pueblo said to be 2000 years old.

The proposed road to connect the two scenic spots be 48 miles long. Governor Scrugham pledged his state to pay half the cost and Governor Hunt said he would ask the Arizona legislature to do likewise. Because of the mesa land traversed the cost will be about $5000 a mile. Governor Scrugham and E. E.

Calvin, general manager of the Union Pacific, left at once for St. Thomas to visit the buried pueblo and go over the proposed route together. ------------------------------------------Seal Beach News were referred to as coming under this head were uniform camp ground ordinances, control of parking along open beach frontage, proper construction of sewer outlets, the pollution of beach front by oil waste and in other ways; uniform parking ordinances and otto matters of a similar nature.

By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Jan. shoppers in the capital paused with mere holiday interest before one of the downtown candy shops. The crowd quickly grew until it approached the dimensions of a blockade. Still, there seem to be any unusual display of sweets in the window.

What, then, was attracting all the attention? It the array of candles, nor any part of the exhibit beyond the plate glass window that was responsible. The center of interest was a slender, sandy-haired man who was looking in the window. He be wholly oblivious of the circle of curious folk around him. but he seemed to be centering his Interest in a survey of the goodies before him, particularly on some large slabs of Vermont maple sugar that had a conspicuous part in the display. Doubtless that maple sugar was responsible.

It must have recalled to him the busy days back in the old maple lot when he just such slabs of sweetness from the sap he himself had toted down to the sugar shed. For the man at the window, the cause of the crowd, guessed it other than the erstwhile Vermont farm boy, Calvin Coolidge, now presiders of the United States. Senator Pat Harrison. Democratic key-noter and bold politician, who thinks nothing of baiting Republican senators in their own stronghold, lost his courage completely the other night at a demonstration ol legerdemain given at the National Press Club by a famous magician. One of the best tricks is the apparent sawing in two of a live and lovely lady.

The lady had composed herself in a trunk, with her head projecting at one end and her feet at the other, when the master of ceremonies asked for volunteers to hold her head and feet so the audience could be sure there was no deception. Senator Pat held her head, while another volunteer took hold of her feet. Then the magician and an assistant. with an ordinary cross-cut began sawing the trunk in two. If they cut the trunk in two, then certainly something distressing and painful seemed certain to happen to the lady, head at one end of the trunk and feet at the one could see how she would escape being cut in two also.

Just when the saw had cut about one-third the way through the trunk, and its jagged teeth must have been about rasping the ribs, she let out a dreadful, nerve- racking shriek. Harrison, his nerves already taut by the thought that if, as seemed the woman was to be bisected, then he, as an accessory to the act, might be held Jointly responsible for her murder, jumped at least two feet high, turned precipitately and Senatorial dignity, political bravado, all thought of hardihood and the appearance of things were forgotten. Pat wanted away from there, and he stood not on the order of his going, but went. That the apparent bisection of the lady was completed, and that she was somehow joined together again so there was no need for calling the coroner, was of minor interest to the senator from Mississippi after that. He hopes, however, to have his nerves pulled together again by the time the Senate reconvenes after the holidays.
