punishment is greater than l can pear,
said a woman who had reached the depths
OF trouble In losing not only money, but
the friends that go with it. Her position
was partly the result of past mistakes, and
under the idea that it was a punishment
She was doing nothing to extrfcate herself
from her position. but bowed to every stroke
that fate dealt her.
Most men from experience in the strug-
gle for life get over this idea They are
apt to learn that even what seem fixed re-
suits can be changed to some extent; that
steps can be retraced a little of the way,
and that at the worst 1t is always possible
70 begin again.
DO not add the idea of punishment to the
burden of misfortune. There Is no room
for it in the scheme of the man or woman
who would succeed The one who believes
in it must also believe that there is all
powerful force against which it would be
folly to try TO help himself
On the contrary, all the signs of inter-
vention of which any have claimed to have
spiritual evidence have been those which
have helped men when luck has all seemed

misfortune the result of past mistakes
which need not he repeated has gone a long
way toward bringing down the sspernat-
ural help which comes to those who help
themselves.

A Happy

Way of both giving and getting is knowing
how to establish the entente cordiale in
cases of quick and sudden contact. Many
a woman who believes she has mission to
fuIhu in doing good to others misses her
best chances of giving by keeping wall of
conyentionality and reserve about herself
which will not let her either take the In
itiative or respond cordially to little friend
" words and courtesles.
When the open door of clubland was
established it was a clever plan to extend
in an organized form friendliness, cordiality
and all that contact with the combined or
individual strength of others may mean.
Good as it was, it was Inadequate in pass
ing on hope, brightness and kindness, be-
side the same spirit exercised individually.
The little walk to the corner from club to
church, the quick recognition, the readiness
with something cordial to say, the recollec-
ton of a one-time Introduction, the service
quickly extended the easy. ready way of
doing a favor, in short. the recognition of
the presence of others without stopping to
think whether they are on our visiting list,
are little "open-door" tactics which are
potent In results.
Everybody can remember a time when
they were given Il new lease of life by UNI
expected kindness and cordially. They can
also remember how sincere was the wish
that good things in abundance might be the
portion Of this one suddenly revealed-and
never seen in any other way than in a low
able light. 1t is a privilege, not a cOnde
sccnsion, to confer little favors in the open
door fashion to these stranger friends, who
never see anything but good of us, besides
the tangible pleasure which Is always held
in the recollection of such contacts. The

STREET IN
HURRY FOR LIGHTS
BUSINESS MEN OBJECT To
DELAY
MAYOR VET0ES ORDINANCE
Leaders In Movement Hope to Have
Measure Passed over MeAIeer's
Head by Council on
Monday
MAYOR vEToES ORDINANCE

Spring street has begun heroic
measures to bring about the rapid con-
struction of Its. lighting system. Men
in charge Of the improvement are
fighting delays like an inebriate the
delirium tremens.
Immediately after the passing of the
ordinance Friday afternoon by the
city council to assess property owners
along the street for their rightful
share of the expense, it was hurried in
to the mayor for him to sign. There
was hope that he would act and that
the measure could be returned to the
council in time for it to pass the orr
dInance over the mayors veto, for to
be consistent with his past position
his honor must refuse to attach his
signature to the document. This line
of operations did not succeed but the
mayor was importuned to take action
yesterday so that the councill could
get down to work at it's meeting next
Monday.
The plan is to have the city engineer
ready to make his report by next Fri
day, when it is probable another spec
ial meeting of the council will be held.
No delays are anticipated.
By August 10, members of the Spring
Street Improvement association expect
to see the larger portion of the as
scssment collected and by that time
are hopeful of having the plans COM
pleted so that the work can be under
taken Immediately.
December is the date that the con-
servative ones are expecting to see the
lighting system in full operation and
OIL the opening night program will be
carried out in a way which 1t is ex
pected will eclipse the gaieties at
tendant on the lighting of Broadway.

shortly after. He started in in an un-
pretentious chop house and first be-
came known to Rourmands when he
built fine restaurant, for those days,
on Main street, which he afterward
replaced by the handsome structure
which Is now the Del Monte restaur-
ant. Jerry was a Dalmatian and he
had been all over the world. He was
a good cook himself and always COM
manded the services of accomplished
chefs. One Of Jerry's specialties was a
slavonian kid, roasted on sticks, gem
orally out at the Devils Gate.
Peck and Jerry's Breakfast
When Governor Peck Of Wisconsin
was out here a good many years ago
/ treated him to one of these break
fasts, under Jerry's supervision. The
author Of "Peck's Bad Boy" assured
me that he had never eaten anything
so delicious in any quarter Of the
world and raved about 1t in his paper.
II you ever get chance, and can
command the services Of couple Of
Slavonians, try this feast. That was
probably the pottage that enabled the
cunning Jacob to beguile Esau Of his
heritage. Poor Illich's health broke
down and he died a couple Of years
ago to the great regret of thousands
who mourned not only the loss Of the
restaurateur but of the man.
Bob Eckert had a great reputation
as a restaurateur in certain lines.
After keeping Congress hall-a COM
bined restaurant and saloon--he went
down to Santa Monica anA took charge
of the Pavilion there. For decades his
fish dinners were famed all over this
southland, and they were even talked
of in San Francisco. They were con-
ceded to be superb, and nothing pleased
Eckert more than to exert himself for
the delectation of his guests and to the
average Angeleno there was no more
fetching invitation than to go down
to Eckert's for fish, oysters or game.
1t was one of the distinctive pleasures
of the day. When the move set in to
make the city by the sea a dry town
Bobs imperial spirit was broken and
he died soon after it's accomplishment.
One day a rustic party from Pomona
or Pasadena, with their lunch baskets
in their hands, marched into the pavil-
ion and asked Bob if they might use
his dining tables to eat on. From that
moment the brave Dutchman was as
good as dead. He told me Of the cir
cumstance and 1 thought 1 saw in his
eye the sentiment, "It is time for me
to die" 1t was like the eye of Blucher
might have looked when he heard some
Englishman say it was wellington who
won the battle of Waterloo.

George B. Stubbs of PenieI Mission
Returns From Trip to
ENGLAND

England
George B. Stubbs of the Peniel mis-
sion, 227 South Main street, returned
yesterday to Los Angeles from a five
months visit in England, where he
took part in the revivals of Evan Rob-
erts at Cardiff, South Wales, and the
Torrey and Alexander meetings in
London.
Mr.. Stubs said yesterday:
EVAN Roberts is a young black
smith, neither a great preacher nor a
leader of men-simply an enthusiast.
He has wonderful influence over the
young people, and while in his meet
ings there is little preaching the sing
ing Is magnificent.
I'm all my trip I did not hear an
organ played in any of the Welsh
churches, but in each church the audi
ence sang the intricate harmonies of
the service in a wonderful manner"
In regard to the Torrey and Alex
ander meetings held in Albert hall,
London, Mr.. Stubbs said that to his
personal knowledge the nightly attend
ance averaged 10000 persons. and that
Christian business men of London had
guaranteed 100000 to carry on the work
for five months.
