LONG BEACH, Oct. 3O-City Engi-

ing engineer, filed report on the condi-
ton of the pier at the city council
meeting this afternoon in which they
state that there has been no deepen
ing of the water along shore in the past
nineteen years. but that whatever ero-
sion has occurred at the end of the
pier is due to the resistance offered by
the pile-piers. AS a safeguard against
further erosion the engineers suggest
a layer of random stones which should
cover the entire area under the wharf
and extend ten feet at least beyond the
limits of the pier; this to be two feet
in thickness. To complete this work
five thousand tons of stone will be re-
quired at a cost of S2.25 per ton.
Bracing for the upper end of the pile
piers will also be required. The city
council decided to vote bond issue of
$4,000 to meet the expense of repairing

asked him whether the prisoner was
"colored or plain"
The Macon officer looked closer at

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-Miss Edna Day
of the domestic science department of
the University of Chicago in an address
before the Douglas Park Won1arl's
club said:
IF more meals were bought at the
Gelicatessen on the corner and more
time spent in getting acquainted with
husband and children there would be
less acrimony at the fireside.
THE time spent in servile work had
better be devoted to the cultivation of
sympathy and tenderness. Though the
children may never be able to tell
other women of the f1aky pumpkin
pies, the crisp doughnuts, palatable
cookies and ginger bread and other
dainties that mother used to make
their appetites will be just as good.
"The devotion of the children to the
home will be more lasting than If
their mother was known only as good
cook"
Miss Day said the home Is more
