Tho Proceedings at the Associ ation's
Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Noythwest
Los Angeles improvement association
WAS held at the hall at the corner of
Montreal and Sand streets Tuesday
evening.
E. P. Tompkins rendered his reaigna-
tion as secretary. having accepted po-
sition with the Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany, and Harry lies was elected to euO-
cesd him.
The light and water committee re-
ported that they had called on the City
Water company to ascertain the cause
OF the filthy condition of the water fur
nished by them for domestic purposes,
and it was learned that il was caused BY
q growth of slime in the reservoir, and
that they are new cleaning and cover
ing it.
Complaint WAS made OF the bad odors
that exist in the vicinity of Buena Vista
street and Bellevue avenue, caused by
the boiling of butchers refuse.
The special committee on street rail-
ways was granted further time to enable
them to see what could be done toward
securing the operation of the Bellevue
avenue line.
The committee on the opening Of
Grand avenue into Sand street reported
that the prospects were not favorable at
the present time. and that considerable
opposition was developed to the side
walking of Philadelphia street.
Tho com mittee appointed to solicit
Hon. s. G. Millard to address the asso-
citation ON a given topic was granted
power to make the necessary arrange
ments. and adopted Tuesday evening,
August 14th, as the time. The subject
will be: The Citizens Duty to His City.
A committee WAS appointed to look
into the matter of securing the old oity
cemetery as additional grounds to the
high school.

the request. The meeting then adj
journed.

The Experience of Editor Upon =
Nsw-Bought Bicycle.
A country editor who has forsaken
journalism for the more lucrative field
of politics, gives the following descrip.
tion OF his attempt to master the first
luxury which his new vocation enabled
him to buy:
The now wheel had purchased was
one Of those light airy things which
must be handled with care, go 1 bor-
rowed from an unsuspecting friend, a
wheel which weighed something less
than ton and which was strong enough
to carry the Cardiff giant. In order to
have plenty OF room l went to a ten-acre
clearing on the brow of hill, and it
was none too big-the clearing I mean.
Well the - thing buoked at peb-
Bile worse than any broncho, then it
SHE'D at the shadow OF my left heel
going over the right-hand corner OF the
handle bar. Next it wanted to rest and,
as its will was law with me, allowed it
to lie down awhile, and lest it should
be lonesome I laid down with it to keep
it company.
After awhile we got up again and 1
thought we would try something easv,
going down hill-it was easy, too easy in
fact. We started all right and if there
hadn't been any bottom to that hill we
might be going yet. We found the bot

found the bottom am also glad that

The time for returning to town from
the summer outing is not far distant for
even the most favored. 80 consideration
OF travelling dresses is timely. After
whole summer given over to all sorts OF
frivolous smusements, wee bit OF reae-
tion follows and seeks expression in
these travelling gowns, which arc made
somewhat severely. Since this is usually
the case, it constitutes no prophetic
hint that return will be made to gen.

merely one point from which elabora-

in the first of these. 1t is made with a

makes pretense of usefulness and dub bs
its devotee the emergency GIRL" In
days long ago it was the housewifely
little person who carried an emergency
bag and was always able and ready to
repair any mishRp OF raiment, but in
the summer OF 1894, mind you, she
must be able to take stitch, not in the
coat but in the wearer, If he nesds it.
She must not only know how to sew on
button, but be ready to put on a patch
anywhere you need one or sew up a
seam wherever you are cut. Her little
emergency case is small and black and
in it are all sorts of drug store things
rolls OF bandages, wads of cotton, queer
needles, curly scissors and 90 on. She ia
supposed to have largo white apron
and pair of turn back cuffs in the out
fit. and when she has to sew ahe puts
them on and looks sweet, no matter
how she hurts her patient. The reguls-
tion apron is a wide one reaching to the
edge of the dress, the belt is wide and it
buttons in the back. 1t is enough in
tself to transform the giddiest creature
into staid, competent emergency girl
at once.
She goes to work ON the principle that

middle and comb it straight down over
the care, with just one or two little
curls escaping for luck. At the back it
is drawn high to the top of the head
and held with comb. The fashion is
not becoming to all faces, but it confers
distinction, whether improving or not.
1t is sometimes mistake to wait for
becoming fashion. You are fortunate,
OF course, if the vogue suits you. but
whether it suits or not, it is worth while
to follow it. At least you can look "just
right" and that is better form than be-

Never was there greater supply OF

dresses as the animals went into the

dress. Here is the way the shades pair
off for the mazes of the fashionable
parade: Gray and white, yellow and
white, blue and white, all these colors
with black, blue and gray, green and
gray, lilac and whito, lilac and pale blue,
lilac and delicate yellow, very delicate

light green, and black and white. This

PEOPLES BANKS.

GhU64nN DANAO"
EDITOR ADVoCATB:-I enclose clipping
from Topeka State Journal of 22nd, inst,
as follows:
MEXICO Cry, Mexico, Feb. 22.-Ths Mex
loan treasury is considering plans for the
establishment of q national agricultural
bank for the purpose Of losning money at
reasonable rates to the owners of large
hRciendas, to move their crops.
The plan is meeting with large favor, and
although the regular established banks are
making objection to the innovation, il will
probably be tried. The system in use in
Germany is the one most favOPably CoRsid-
cred.
If there is anything in this will you please
reproduce it with comments.
Also give us light ON "The system in use
in Germany" F. q. JOHNSON.
The dispatch quoted above simply
states that 'the Mexican treasury is
considering plans for the establish
ment Of a national agricultural bank. |"
These plans might be considered IN
definitely and result in nothing.
There is at present nothing upon
which to comment except the dispatch
itself in reference to Mexico.
The peoples banks Of Germany are
purely cooperative institutions de-
signed solely for loaning money to
the poor. Those established upon
the plan of Raifeisen have been most
successful and are accomplishing
wonderful results for the German
peasantry and the German poor in
general. Herr Raifeisen established
the first Of these banks in one of the
districts Of Westerwsld in 1849 with
the insignificant capital Of &3O0.
From this bank he offered to supply
the mortgage ridden, usury oppressed
pesssntry who would become MEM
bers OF his association and subscribe
to his rules, with money. His plan at
once grew into popularity, his funds
increased, and his system is now rap
idly undermining the oppressive
usury sharks not only in Germany
but in other European countries,
AT first it was difficult to secure
the necessary funds for such an en-
terprise, but the plan of organization
was so feasible and its purpose SO
humane that it rapidly grew in pop
ularity until in the language of Mr..
Henry W. Wolff, who has given us
the best account of these banks:
Governments now encourage them, pro-
vincial Diets ask for thsm, priests and min
listers pronounce their blessings upon them,
the peasantry love them.
The popularity of these banks is
not limited to the poor for whose
SPECIAL benefit they are designed.
They are now regarded as the
safest financial institutions in the
country, and Mr.. Wolff further says
of them:
Confidence in their security is 30 well e.
tablished that (as appears on official evil |
dence from report published ct the in
stance Of she late emperor in 1879 In
