Southern California . located, to Shorbs exten-sive winery, to Devils Gate,the head of the water supplyof Pasadena in the ArroyoSeco, to La Canada and SanFernando.

The ostrich is one of the most ungainly, unlovelycreatures that walk theearth. It is a relic of *mm p&h 9I the /oelt> • -,. an earlier geological epoch handed down to us in all its paleolithic ugliness. Its great bare legs support a massive body to one end of which is attached a long,stiff neck ending in a little crook in lieu of a head. This apology for a head is flattened on top, and two great brown eyes bulge out, ever looking about for something to eat — grass, oranges, sand or newspaper — it makes little difference. When its great, flat, clumsy beak is opened, there seems to be nothing left of the head but a cavity, and its note is a sudden open-mouthed explosion, half sputter and half -hiss. It also on occasion roars more vociferously than a TJk.
