SEARCHLIGHT DISPLAY
Lest local persons think that the
Sighting effect they will see in the
tfteavens this evening is the Nor
dhern Lights gone awry they are in
formed that it will be a searchlight
display by the five Naval destroy
‘■srs that are now in port. The dis
play would have been put on last
evening but owing to the necessity
of using extra power for the lights
the display was put off until this
evening. The display will start at
•about 11 oclock when the heavens
-ire good and dark. The boats car
u*y two light apiece and the inter
twining and entwining beams of I
light should be a spectacular sight. |
That successfully groomed, smart
looking coiffure you have long I
wanted can be obtained for $7.50;
from PEARL HENRY. Her DUART
oermanents give the fastidious ap
pearance necessary to a perfect
ensemble. Call ADAMS 89 for an
appointment; any kind of beauty
'dork done which you desire.

TO WRITE STORY
ALASKAN TRIP
Because two boys in San Diego
like bedtime stories, their dad is
writing a book for juvenile and po
pular reading about the Alaskan
cruise of the USS. Perry, Destroyer
340, Flagship of Division 10. The
Perry which carried for a year the
sSquadron Trophy for General Ex
cellence, is known as the Smart
Ship in the story. And her Skip
per, Lieut.-Comdr. J. M. Lewis, is
known as Happy Ship Lewis be
cause of his first interest is the wel
fare of his personnel.
The two boys are John Dixon,
six, and Ed Dixon, four. Their
dad’s name is Ben F. Dixon, a
Chief Pharmacist’s Mate. When
they found that their seapop was
bound for Alaskan waters, they re
fused to give him their blessing
for the cruise unless he would ag
ree to write them a book of bed
time stories about all the “Sour
dough Sailors.” The book, as
planned, will contain many inter
esting and amusing sidelights on
life and adventures in Alaska, as
seen through a porthole by sail-1
ors’ eyes.
Dixon, whose sideline hobby is
scribbling “through a porthole,” has
been a free lance journalist thru
out most of his naval career. He
was one of te founders in 1924
of ‘‘The Orient” of Shanghai, a ser
vice publication of the Far East,
and edited this magazine until he
was ordered from China a year
later. From 1925 to 1927, he edited
in Washington, D. C., the “Hos
pital Corps Quarterly,” a publica
tion of the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery. In 1930, in Haiti, he ed
ited the publications of the Na
tional Public Health Service of the
Republic of Haiti.
Mr. Dixon has had several books
published during Iris “porthole” car
eer. Among them are: “Seeing the
World through a Porthole,” News
paper Enterprise. Hongkong, 1923;
“Seeing China through a Porthole,”
Mission Press, Manila, P. I., 1924;
“Chinese Therapeutics,” Wasliing
