SMALL CLUB BEST
FOR INDIVIDUAL
MEMBERS OF COSMOS SAY 100
MEMBERS ARE ENOUGH
Progressive Organization Prepares ID
Celebrate les First Birthday
Anniversary This
Spring

A club Of a hundred members is of
more benefit to the individual than a
club with a membership Of Ave hun
dred. so decided a hundred bright in
teresting women at the meeting Of the
Cosmos club held yesterday afternoon
nt the Ruskin Art rooms.
This vital question of club life arose
through the desire of some to extend
the membership limit Of this hourishing
organization, which. although not yet a
year old, has already attained a high
standard in the realm of women's
clubs.
The purpose of the Cosmos is little
study, a little serious thought, some
play and much sociablity and good fell
lowship and the wise heads have been
puzzled to decide whether its present
size would be more conducive to it's
aims than If it were augmented.
The superior talent employed for en-
tertainment in the larger organizations
scarcely courts the expression of opin-
ion from the members, so it was de-
cided, who find themselves trhe timid
in discussing affairs from the floor.
This does not prevail however, in the
smaller club and women find them
selves growing less fearful Of their own
voices and gain thereby in closer asso-
citation.
Among other things which served to
instruct and entertain the members
were a piano solo by Mrs. George w.
Jordan, q paper on civics and forestry
by Mrs. Koop and a talk by Mrs.
Emma M. Greenleaf on the excavations
of Pompeii. The program was followed
by tea served by the president, Mrs.
Charles Lee Lewis, and corps Of as
sistants.
Under the able guidance of the pres
ident, Mrs. Lewis, the Cosmos has
grown with amazing rapidity. Prepara-
tions are being made to celebrate the
first anniversary, which will occur in
the early spring.

A MISFIT COMPLIMENT

In answer to complaints about the lighting service
the local monopoly is wont to point with PRIDE to the
alleged fact that conditions here an Improvement
on those of most cities. This answer is interposed
with the apparent object of making Los Angeles citi
zens contrast with less fortunate dweers
in other cities. Judging from the experience of
other Cities related by their newspapers it may be
that in this city have relative to be thankful
Francisco for instance, appears to be in quite
bad plight Los Angeles in this respect. if not
worse. We notice a court in that city wherein
citizen obtained an injunction to prevent of the
of his property poles, which, according the
Chronicle, merely undressed tree trunks, from
which the bark only has been stripped" Commenting
this the Chronicle AYERS that mo pole carry
ing light should be erected unless it is ornamented
sufficient degree to relieve it of the charge of being
a disagreement
A reminder of the saying about getting home news
from abroad" is given by this observation of the
Chroncle "In Los Angeles an ornamental electric
light pole has been introduced which largely
the objection this kind of street obstruction That
statement obviously results from a msapprehension
concerning the private enterprise instituted by Broad
way merchants and later by those of two three
business thoroughfares in providing ornamental
street lamps for Illuminating purposes. The lighting
companies have made movement toward putting
up ornamental poles in this city. On The contrary,
they have been driving hard bargain both with the
merchants and the city authorities for lighting service
in the ornamental lamps furnished by the business
The only cities that do not suffer from the tyranny
of lighting monopoies, it seems, those which
and operate their plants

Wornan's Clubs
Tuesday Topics Club

At the last meeting Mrs. Fay
ram closed the study Of California, to
which this club has given inter-
ested attention for nearly a month,
with a paper upon its land and water
birds, ending with an appeal for a bet
ter knowledge and more kindly consid-
Grafton for these beautiful and useful
creatures. An excellent paper upon
Martha Washington was read. After a
song sweetly rendered by Mrs. Henry,
the club yielded its usual program
to Mrs. Cover, president of the
Wednesday Morning club, who greatly
interested 1T in personal recollections
of the workshop of the Roycrofters
and it's brilliant founder, Elbert Hub
bard Specimens of the binding and
printing done by the apprentices were
passed around and proved the exquisite
projection she claimed for them. An
animated discussion of the history of
the week closed the session.
