Chief Juan Losada, 89-year-old patriarch of the Kern County Ah-kih-kih-nim tribe, has joined the council circle of his forefathers in the Happy Hunting Grounds. The chief for many years had reported regularly on the first of each month for his government subsistence check at the Great White Father's house in Bakers-field. Old-time San Joaquin Valley cowboys said Losada was one of the most competent vaqueros they knew. He loved oranga soda pop and comic strips.

BALANCE Serle by Lajos Steinert No. t Emanuel Lasker was one of the greatest chess personalities of all time: A great individual. I recall a night of my student days in a small town. Lasker came ovei to give simultaneous exhibition and afterward a small party remained with him in a coffee house into the small Hours Youth and old listened spellbound to all he had to say.
Lasker often got into dif ficult positions. But then he waa great at holding the balance even in the theoretl cany lost positions. For some Kinas 01 oai- ance can be obtained in lost positions, also. One can counter the opponent's threats; one can even threaten him oneself. It requires greater el for la and the resources exhaust themselves more quickly than in even positions.
But Lasker had enormous strength for a greater effort and could find fresh supplies from resources others would be unable to search for. Here la a game In which be got into early difficulties against one of his greatest opponents, but managed to hold the balance. Aa time ia short and annotations are not original, but ax Lrom Or. Tarrascb book of the Coffee 25 Years Old Not Improved ABERDEEN (Wash.) May 31 (U.R) What does 25-vear-olri cof. fee taste like? Capt. R. 11 Teasley, a veteran of the Pacific maritime routes, learned. Twenty-five years ago he brought 75 pounds of coffea from the Hawaiian Islands, where natives said that if coffee aged long enough to turn mealy . in the center the beverage is "perfect." Not long ago the beans began to turn mealy. Peasley had the coffee roasted and ground.
The resultant product, he said, was 1 "good but not perfect." Aviary Attracts 200,000 SALT LAKE CITY (Utah) May 3. (U.R) More than 200,000 persons visited the Tracy aviary in Liberty Park in 1939 at a cost of approximately 114 cents each. The aviary was estab lished in 1937 by donation of Russel L. Trary and since that time has grown steadily.
