WHO'S WHO MAY
CREATE RUCT|ON
TASK ENOUGH TO oAuNT ANY
ONE LESS BRAVE
To Separate 500 Names From Llsts OF
Illustrious Persons In Southern
California ls Expected to Prove
Moro Difficult Than Now Appears

Charles F. Lummis, author-1ournal-
ist and librarian, has undertaken g
task which would appall any but the
lion heart of the Out West magazine,
Sitting back in his chair In the read
ing room of the library yesterday the
oldest frequenter of that institution
said;
'I,ummis will publish for the city a
book which is expected to give accu-
rate and unimpeachable information as
to 'wno's Who in the Southwest He
is expected to make no mistakes and
insert a red-blooded individuals name
where a blue -blooded individuals aris-
tocracy should be placed.
I'm addition to this task his burdens
and responsibilities are increased by
the limit of 500 names. the supposition
being inferred that this number will
be ample for all the who's who in the
southwest.
"Just how he will separate 500 persons
of superior merit and culture and social
standing from the other 499,5OO is an
enigma without key word to begin on
for solution.
Not Even Honorable Mention
Descendants Of the steerage list of
the Mayfiower are to be included, but
those arriving via the Pacific Mail are
not necessarily adjudged Of that social
status to be entitled to honorable men
tom unless they bring credentials from
last place OF residence.
Tn q like manner descendants of
those who fit in the Boston tea party
rumpus over one hundred and twenty
five years ago are to be given prece-
dence in publication, although the fact
that their forefathers engaged in the
famous battle of Gettysburg does not
imply any especial distinction or in
crease the chances of seeing their
names in the blue book among the 500
elected
ALSO because George Washington is
asserted to have refused at the psy-
Geological moment to escape the in
evitable peach tree tonic to become
famous, those who are able to trace
their origin backwards to his vicinity
are among the elect, but the son and
daughter of the village postmasters in
Southern California must rely upon
other and more strenuous claims for
distinction to entitle them to seat In
the amen corner of the congregation
of the select 500.
May Disturb Present Status
Another question: Will the social
status of the present 400 of Los An
geles be disturbed by the new arrange
ment? And will the edition of the
Who's Who blue book be adopted as
the official guide by the socially
stricken set of Los Angeles?
This new department of the munich
pal government, the regulation of social
affairs and official stamp of caste by
the official dictum of the city, is des-
tined to disturbance such as to make
the library squabble peace conference
by comparison.
"And will the next administration dis
rupt society in the southwest by ban
ishing to the social Siberia all who are
on the other side of the machine?"

MerriCk

Palmer

For artistic high-class photography
there is no place in the entire city
more reliable and more worthy OF
patronage than the establishment of
Merrick g. Palmer at 321 South Hill
street Their studio is one Of the
handsomest and best equipped in Call
fornia, and for their work they have
every facility known to the art. Be
sides the proprietors of the business,
who are L. l.. Merrick and ]. L.
Palmer. two of our most expert pho
tographers, five men are employed In
turning out the large amount of work
which the company does. Before
moving, some six months ago, to
their present location they were locat-
ed for some time at 23s1a South Spring
street, where they built UP fine bust
ness which has not only continued,
but increased since their removal
They arrange highly artistic and sat
isfactory poses and do excellent re-
touching and finishing work. A look
at specimens of their work and an
examination Of their prices on the
various styles of pictures is the best
recommendation which this company
can have, as their policy Of business
is to do the best work possible and
on the finest material, etc, at popu-'
lar prices. Sittings may be engaged
beforehand over phone Main 3775, and

Goodyear
TIRE 3
RUBBER
Co..

w D. Newerf, coast agent for the Good.
year Tire & Rubber Co., Akron. O.. made
his advent into the Los Angeles busi-
ness world little more than a year ago.
That he has met with success is evil
denced by the fact that he has twice
enlarged his quarters, and now has one
of the finest and most up-to-date rubber
goods emporiums in the city, which is
located at 932 South Main street. A unique
feature of this store is the reception or
reading room, which has been fitted up
for the use of patrons, and where may
be found all the latest periodicals and
journals pertaining to the auto and car
riage trade. The automobile has assumed
place of immense Importance, combin-
ing as 1t does rapid transit with the full
est mead of pleasure. and any device
that tends to increase either of these is
eagerly sought by all interested parties,
and it goes without saying that the Good
year Tire & Rubber Co. have struck the
keynote of highest achievement in their
New Universal Rim and Detachable Tire
This Universal Rim seems to have over
come all the difficulties heretofore ex-
perlenced In the taking off and putting on
OF tlres' II you are not familiar with this
device most cordial invitation is ex-
tended TO you to visit the store and wit
ness a Demonstration. If you are an
owner of an automobile you cannot af-
ford to be without Universal Rim. The
new Goodyear Detachable Thread Fabric
Tire possesses many advantages, being
more resilient and more durable than any
other tire. Creeping and chafing are made
impossible by the contractible bands which
are embedded in the base of the tire.
These consist of woven tapes of steel wire
which are, sperad laterally by the in
fation of the tire, and thereby shortened,
causing them to grip the rim with great
force. Another special feature Is the
new Goodyear Endless Solid Tire. The
scalloped tread of this tire permits 1t to
expand In four directions. giving twice as
much resiliency as continuous tread solid
tires, with mileage double that of pneu-
matte tires. Mr.. Newerf carries a fun line
OF Goodyear tires tubes, rims, ETC., for
automobiles, line OF, carriage pneuma tic
and solid tires, moulded goods and acces-
sories, also bicycle tires Vulcanizing and
repairing is made a speciality. He Is
also sole agent for Southern California
for the celebrated Samson Tires, non
skidding and non-puncturable.
Although Mr.. Newerf is located in Lei
Angeles. he controls the sale of Goodyesl
goods throughout California. Oregon ail
Washington, and has a large wholesai
trade as far north as Vancouver B.

Dacey Makes a Wonderful Discovery,

James f. Dacey, of the Gogebic
Boiler Works, Duluth, known to
many range residents as the cham.
pion Annanaias of the state of Min
nesota, has discovered a substitute
for the old-fashioned hen fruit des-
tined to put the hen out of business
and reduce the price of eggs and
spring frys to living basis.
Mr.. .Dacey relates his discovery in
a letter to the Minot Daily Optic in
an endeavor to interest Dakota cap
ital in the enterprise of "growing"
artificial eggs, in writing OF the
properties of which he alleges that
they are not only equal to the nat
ural hen fruit, but will hatch; will
not only hatch, but every egg will
hatch a rooster, and that these roos-
ters will lay eggs; that they will
not only lay, but will lay from one
to three eggs daily.
ent time factory in Chicago where
10000 of these oster-producers are
manufactured daily, and desires the
Commercial Club of Minot to con-
slider a proposition for the estab-
lishment of similar factory to be
located at that point.
IF Dacey's hot air could only be
controlled it would be needless to
expend millions of dollars on the
proposed St. Louis River water pow
er improvements; there is enough of
it 50 he could sit in a Duluth office,
exhale into an air compressor and
furnish necessary power for run
ming every mine, mill and factory
within a radius of hundred miles
of the Zenith City.
But it takes more than hot air to
keep ones accounts properly bal
anced in the business world.
