ventiOn our city built an expensive
hall; we never received back the
interest on our Investment. Let
our city stand out as candidate,

we will offer a purse for the prize.
Whatever the expense may be, let

A Woman Inventor.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wescott Romney, a
Colorado newspaper worker, had no less
than IA inventions of articles of domes-
tic utility on exhibition at the World s
fair. One is a water cooler which does
not require ice. 1t is covered recep-
tacle of cellular brickware, manufac-
tured of clay, sawdust and asbestus
fiber. In the process the sawdust is
burned out, leaving the product cellu-
lar, OF porous. The receptacle, with
the water to be kept cold within it,
stands in a tray of galvanized iron
which holds water to a depth of two or
three inches. By reason of the porosity
of the cooler and the force of capillary
attraction the water in the tray con-
stantly rises through the cellular walls
of the receptacle and is as constantly
evaporated, thereby keeping the water
inside as cool as it is usually drawn
from a we'll or spring

Vnus,lant Trustees.

The trustees of the Old South church
refused the Massachusetts Woman Suf-
frage association the use of it for the
celebration of the one hundred and
twentieth anniversary of the Boston tea
party on Dec. 16. The historic church
is freely rented for meetings on great
variety of other subjects, and there is
every reason to believe that the refusal
in this case is due to pure prejudice
against the modern application of the
principle that taxation without repre-
sentation is tyranny" The action of
the trustees is the more remarkable in
view of the fact that among the speak
ers at the celebration were Governor
Elect Greenhalge, Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, Colo
mel T. w. Higginson and other distin-
guished citizens. The city granted the
association the use of Faneuil hail.

EDITORS HERALD: | find in the report
Of the committee on education in the
minutes OF the 18th session of the
Southern California conference that
they, the committee, acknowledge that
there have been mistakes made in locat-
ing seminary colleges. This acknowl-
ment brings vividly to my mind the
first and greatest mistake ma de by the
college committee or trustees when it
was proposed to locate the university,

1929 acres. bounded by Figueroa street
on the east. Alvarado on the west, Third
street on the south and Bellevue avenue
on the north. had mortgage on it Of
about 10000. | offered to give 20 acres
for the campus grounds, near Figueroa
and Court streets, and one-hslf OF all the
balance of the land if the committee
would help me to carry the indebted
ness OF 80 900 till such time as l could
pay it from the sales of my part of the
land, which could have done by the
sale of 10 acres in short time if the
university had been located there. But
the committee refused to accept my
offer; some of them intimated that
only wanted to shift this debt on the
college, and that it was not worth the
$20, 900, which was only about $40 per
acre. If the university had been To-
Gated on my land in place of where it
is they would have had double the num-
ber of students each year since then
as they have had where it is now To-
Gated, and the property would have
been worth more than all the churches,
parsonages, colleges and seminaries, in
Guiding all the endowment funds. be-
longing to the NJ. E. church in the
whole district OF Southern California.
And now, | hereby make another offer
to any denomination who wishes to
build college, or to any party wishing
to build tourist hotel, near the city,
that is equally as good, if not better, in
proportion to the responsibility. than
the offer to the university trustees. To
either Of such parties | will give land
located ON the north city boundary,
adjoining the Elysian park on the
north Zone of the finest natural parks in
the world), and on the line OF the pro-
jected electric railroad, easy of access.
| will give 40 acres of land with 1000
buegum trees on it 4 years old. if they
will help me to carry mortgage of $4,000
on other lands for two years until can
pay it with the proceeds of my own
lands. do not write this article to
censure the trustees of the university OF
to grieys after spilled milk, but to show
that my judgment would have been
good for the interest of the college and
the city at large, and that there was nc
intention to do injustice to the college.

Julia nrarlows,s Ambition.

It is among the modest ambitions of
Julia Marlowe to have, before she dies,
the most complete Shakespeareaua in
the world. She already has several of
the plays i'll rare quarto editions and
facsimile of the celebrated folio of
1923 She has model of the house
where Shakespeare was bern, ali exact
reproduction of his water jug. piece
of the famous mulberry tree, souvenir
spoons, pen and ink sketches. photo
graphs and pictures of all kinds. Every
year she makes a pilgrimage to STRAIT
ford-on-Ayon. Last summer she Sc
cured a new treasure for her Shake
speare museum. 1t is an exact copy of
his chair. The original is i'll the pos
session of Sir Henry Armytage, who
lives in the county where Shakespeare
was born. Miss Marlowe presented let
ters to him, which induced him TO let
her see and sit i'll the sacred chair, and
even to have it copied. 1t is small,
square, stiff oak armchair, with rude
carving on it.-Boston Herald.

The American Machine company, reg
istered capital of $500, 900, require land
in the United States to build and fit up
cotton factories.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it struck me that
Los Angeles requires such factories, and
it might be to the interest of some OF our
citizens to think the matter over; there
ls very little doubt that manufactures
would be Of vast benefit to the city,
property owners would be benefited, the
store keeper would be benefited and
most certainly the unemployed would
be very much benefited. Then there is
another thing that should be borne in
mind, and that is the fact that there are
30 many young lads growing up for
whom employment will have 90 be
found. The want of factories at which
lads might find work is one of the chief
factors in turning out go many hood
lums and tough cases.
Los Angeles needs factories, and she
a ch -, bor .
any other city on the Pacific coast.
What she needs is public spirited men,
who have the interest OF the city at
heart, to push this matter. There is no
reason why she should not secure either
Of the above industries. Some OF the
leading cities of America have been
built by the enterprise of few citizens,
inviting manufacturers to come ana settle
down with them. They have offered
Tree land and bonus to secure manu-
factories, and in most cases it has proved
more than satisfactory. Now such offers
as these, coming from city like Los
Angeles. with it's climate, would receive
very serious attention from almost any
manufacturing concern in the United
States or Europe.
Los Angeles as a disbursing point is
oASOiiChb, ShO 10 WclA CQulPpOu lOi lhll-
way d!sLrihn ton and the railway Hys-
tenn is growing. AS to her waterway,
why she has the whole Pacific ocean,
with splendid shipping facilities at Port
Los Angeles. This matter might receive
some attention by the railway COM
panies, for, as natural result, they
would receive very fair share OF the
benefits.
AS to the fuel and water, know very
little about either; but | understand
that cheap coal will be one OF our COM
modities IN the near future. AS to the
water, | rather think that Los Angeles
could riee eousl to the occasion. One
thing is certain: if only start can be
made to secure one or two factories there
would soon be others to follow. Then
the population OF Los Angeles would
soon foot the 100 600 mark. and a more
prosperous state OF things might reason
ably be expected. At any rate it does
not seem to me 10 be out of placs to
suggest that the citizens of Los Angeles
should be on the alert to secure her
share of the manufactures OF the world,
and by so doing secure the welfare oil

The Irrigation Age publishes Mr..
Holt's plan and comments thereon as
follows:
"The first plan OF an arid land policy
prepared for presentation comes from
the fertile brain OF L. NJ. Holt, and will
be submitted to his colleagues OF the
California body.
THE Holt plan is only one of very
many that will, no doubt, be presented
to the state commissions during the next
few months. 1t 10 by the discussion OF
these various suggestions that wise
conclusion will be reached In the end.
1t is hardly likely that the plan will find
general acceptance in it's original form,
because it departs so widely from the
present method OF reclaimine the arid
lands. 1t is long leap from private
enterprise to this scheme OF pure, un-
adulterated public control and opera
tion, with no way station between. And
yet this particular plan has some very
strong features, the chief OF which is the
fact that it puts the responsibility for
states. while still recognizing the right
trolling influence both in leg
thus to protect its interests. There are
two stern facts to contend with, i. 9. :
~ that the nation must guard the great
heritage of it's people represented in the
public lands, and (2l that if public
works are to be built, it muet be done
by the states, because it will be many
years before the nation will think OF
spending money for such a purpose. We
shall be fortunate indeed if, in the
policy finally adopted, we steer between
the two difficulties as skilitully as Mr..
Holt has done In his plan. II this propo-
sition could be enacted into law tomor-
row, and then command a cordial sup
port by the people, we believe it would
prove to be an entirely workable policy.
But not every idea that is meritorious is
availsble, and it is easy to foresee where
criticism will attack this plan. The
cabinet officer will not scome very soon,
but department of irrigation. in which
all OF this Glass OF work might he seg-
regated under the secretary OF agricul-
ture can very likely be obtained, il
strongly demanded by the west.
