CONTEST ONLY
Y DAYS OLD
AND REMARKABLE INTEREST
AROUSED
saIesladles Competition for The Her.
AIDS Splendid Prizes Is Growing
Rapidly and EverybodyIs Get
ting Interested

Another day has elapsed, the seven
teenth since The Herald's salesladies
contest and the candidates working for
the honorS are as enthusiastic as ever
and the votes are rolling in hour by
hour. New candidates are entering the
race every day or two, as the contest is
still in it's infancy, and the old contest
ants are staying with the race with the
firm determination to "do or die'
General interest is being aroused in
every cornor of Los Angeles, and on
every side may be heard the query,
who will VIM" This question cannot
be answered till December 23. 1t Is then
the reserves which are going out so
rapidly now will be expected, and
then the five ladies to receive the 5000
in prizes will be determined. No one is
losing hope, as the contest is barely
started, and a difference of few
thousand votes is nothing, as that
means but a couple of yearly subscrip-
tfons, and there is good long time
remaining to secure them and close the
chasm which now separates those in
other positions from first place. Many
people are willing to help the ladies and
are only waiting to be asked to do so.
The first candidates to ask for the
subscriptions are the ones who will
get them, and the votes that go with
them, so it is imperative that those who
desire to enlarge their count get among
the people and make their cause known.
The Herald is the best paper in this
part of the state and prints all the news
in a thoroughly up-to-date manner A
trial six months subscription will con-
vince the most skeptical that this is
true. There Is no end of interest CEN
tered in this contest. The eyes of the
public are focused upon each of the
candidates endeavors. 1t is an honor
to be in this race and it will be a
still greater honor to win out.
Don't overlook the ballot for 1000
extra votes that is being issued this
week. Every candidate who secures
and turns in five NEW three months
subscriptions this week will receive
the coupon for 1000 extra votes. The
offer is fully explained in an advertise
ment on another page of this paper.
Read particulars carefully, as it may
be the means of your name appearing
in the list of winners at the close of the
contest December 23.
Quite a number of photographs have
Herald would like to publish as many
photographs Of candidates as possible.
Contestants who have photos should
send them in as soon as possible, and
same will be reproduced as received.
If the ladies who are competing in this
contest have no photos they may go to

have them taken free of charge, same

MAYOR PONDERS OVER
CITY HALL UESTION
RECEIVES ANOTHER COMMITTEE
OF CITIZENS
'McAIeer Says VIII Take His Time to
Consider New Municipal Building
Proposition. Delegation Urges
Purchase of Fiesta Park for Use

Mayor McAleer entertained another
delegation of business men and prop
erty owners who are opposed to the
acceptance of the new city hall site
on North Main street yesterday, but
he was non-committal when asked
whether he would sign or veto the
measure.
'I want to hear from all sides of the
question:" said the mayor; that is the
reason l am holding the ordinance for
the full ten days limit before either
signing or vetoing it. I want to do
what seems the best for the whole city,
and the only way can find this out Is
by hearing just such delegations as
these. So bring on your committees.
This invitation is extended to those in
terested in both sides of the question" "
The committee that waited on the
mayor yesterday was the one that had
been appointed at a mass meeting held
in the chamber Of commerce Monday
afternoon. While those who formed
the committee were, for the most part,
not as prominent in the business world
as those who called on the mayor on
the same errand Saturday afternoon,
they made up in numbers what they
lacked in business and financial stand
ing: There We're about twenty in the

Ask Mayor to Veto Ordinance
Attorney Enoch Pepper acted as
spokesman and went over the same
line of argument that had previously
been advanced in opposition to the
establishment of the city hall in the
northern part Of the business district.
He dwelt on the statement that the
trend of business was to the southwark,
and announced that the property which
it was proposed to ded to the city was
not worth more 1han $4,000, instead of
the 100000 which the promoters claim

The mayor viii either sign or veto
the ordinance on Saturday, and in the
meantime the opposition will be active
in securing signatures to it's petition
that the mayor veto the ordinance.
These petitions will be placed in diff

city and presented to the mayor next

Not Limited to the Art Of the East.
But Mr.. Bing did not limit his admira
ton to the art of bygone days and the
east. He was keenly alive to every phase
of it's development and opened the doors
of the Rue de Provence galleries to Bes-
nard, Thaulow. Meunier and others in
the days when they were unknown begin
ners. He created the art nouveau work
shops which have harbored Colonna, De
Feure, Jouve; he exhibited the Kopen-
hagen, lockwood, Tiffany, Gale Keep
ping productions; nothing could more clear
ly illustrate the influence of Japan on
modern decorative art
Nevertheless, Mr.. Bling must not be held
responsible for the many crimes commit
ted in the name of art noaveau; we are
apt to overlook how much of it Is made
in Germany" and how quickly, thanks to
nineteenth century commercialism, the
market has been oversupplied with nc
titious modern art, riotous labyrinth OF
senseless, formless decoration, devoid OF
technique, life or beauty Indeed, more tnan
a year ago Monsieur Bing closed his
workshops and moved to the Rue ST.
Georges, intending. nothing daunted by
Increasing i'll health, to devote his re-
naming energies to the art of the Orient.
But his wish was to be denied him. and
he passed away at Vaucresson on Septem-
Der g. in his sixty-seventh year. His work
will be continued by his only son, gifted
young designer and an able scholar, Mar

The time is not far distant when the art
of these men will be studied with the
same interest as that of Botticelli. Wat

tiation done by Bfng is invaluable. His
publication of "the Japon artistique,
documents dart ct dindustrie," with its
fine colored plates, his writings on the
prints exhibited in the Ecole des Beaux-
Arts and his own galleries (some of
which have also been shown in England
and America), the catalogues compiled
for the great Paris sales such as the
Goncourt or elliot, bear ample testimony
to his scientific knowledge and literary
skill. He was an interchangeable worker;
as recently as February. 1905, the Revue
