In his sermon Rev. Boyd criticized
eastern touristB in California, declar
ing that they left their religion behind
when they reached the sandy beaches
of the Pacific.
"Many people coming to this state
have left all religious training behind
them they have forgotten, once
this state was reached, all of the les
sons they had been taught at their
eastern homes, churches and Sunday
schools," he said.
"Many easterners transplanted in
California patronize dance halls and
motion picture theaters on Sundays,
although they would have been hor
rified if such things were even sug
gested to them when they lived in the
east. The churches here lack sup
port. The support they should have
is given to amusements. Sunday is
desecrated and as a day of worship
is almost entirely forgotten."
"RAMONA," READ BY 20,000,000 PEOPLE, BEING

Los Angeles, Cal., March 22. After

MYSTERIES OF NATURE
Lap Dogs.
Lap dogs are alleged canines that
look like a cross between a fur wrist
let and a weazel. If it were not for
women who don't have to do their
own housework, lap dogs would have
had to shift for themselves and the
regular dogs would have eaten -them
up long ago.
Lap dogs nearly passed out forever
in the flood. But two of them sneak
ed aboard the Ark and Noah's wife,
who was something of a social climb
er, thought it would be fashionable to
keep them. So they were saved.
Some lap logs look almost as hu
man as their Owners, which is noth
ing to get stuck up about.
All lap dogs have tenor barks. Why
they don't also wear wrist watches is
one of the mysteries of nature.

luminous reels and requiring three
hours to show a more stupendous
spectacle than "The Clansman." .
Stage settings of gigantic propor
tions precede the showing of each
part of the film. They depict the sa
lient locations, such as the Santa
Barbara mission and Ramona's
home.
"Ramona" is accompanied by the
longest and most varied musical
score ever associated witha motion
picture.
The best thing about this produc
tion, which is being simultaneously
launched in the best theaters (not
motion picture houses) in New York,
San Francisco and Los Angeles, is
that it is not "Ramona" as some sce
nario writer thinks it ought to be,
but the actual story, filmed from the
book itself.
Public libraries claim Ramona to
be the most popular-book extant. Ac
cording to the publishers, 3,800,000
copies have been sold. Having been
handed down through two genera
tions, it is conservative to estimate
that 20,000,000 persons have read
this lovely and tragic romance.
Some of the costumes for "Ra
