ANTl-JEWISH THREATSMADE

St. Petersburg. November il, 2:o5 a. m. Except in the kingdom of Poland where the rapioly growing nationalist movement and the state of tension among the pro- letariat will soon bring about the de- claration of a state of war, Russia seems for the time being at least. to be general ly tranquil.

The apprehension in St. Petersburg has become so great that the prefect of police who succeeded General Trepoff in com mand of the city police has instructed his subordinates to take the fullest meas ures to crush any disorder in it's incipiency so as to dissuade the minds of the 'loyal- ist" of the idea that the police would remain inactive In such an emergency the strong hand of General Trepoff Is being missed even by the factions which most execrated him.

New York, November 10.-Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg has captured New York, heart and soul. The absolute democracy and unassuming cordiality with which the admiral-prince receives his visitors of high and low degree, has made friends for him every minute of his visit here. Had King Edward planned a great diplomatic stroke in sending his armored cruiser squadron to American waters, he could not have entrusted the mission to a more competent diplomatist than Prince Louis.
 There were three scheduled events on Prince Louis programme today, the first being luncheon at Governors Island with Brigadler General Grant.
 After luncheon the prince attended brilliant reception at the New York naval yard. where Rear Admiral Coghland was the prnces host.
 Tonight the prince and 250 officers of the two squadrons were the guests of the Academy Alumni association at a mag nificent banquet at the Waldorf "A storia.
 The prince will go to West Point tomor- row and witness the football game be- tween West Point and the Carlisle In- dians.
 New York Would Be Easy.
 Just before starting for Governors Is- land today, Prince Louis standing on the deck of his flagship, and gazing at the city said:
 Any war would be more disastrous to New York than any other city in the world. This is impressed upon me by the tremendous amount of hustle and traffic that you see when you come up the har- bor. What New York wants above all things, Is peace. The two combined fleets in New York harbor could, I think. re- duce New York to atoms in the time 1t takes my cook to fry an omelet.''
 He said this possibility of besieging features of his present visit that had in- terested him most.
 Describing his impressions of Ameri- cans. Prince Louis said:
 'I should say that District Attorney William T. Jerome's success is clearly explained by his charming personality and earnestness."
 Of American women the prince said:
 Could Not Be Improved Upon.
 'I should say that the American wo- man can be In no way improved upon"
 Since his arrival here yesterday, the prince has received about 1000 letters, he said, several of them requesting financial assistance for inventors. One was from a man who wanted to build boat to cross the Atlantic ocean in three days. He also said that the boxing match pro- hot wpltpr-WaiQbfs In the American and British navies would prob ably be held.
 When Prince Louis was asked about conditions in Russia, he said:

EXPANDING IN ALL DIRECTIONS

Within the last two three years marked change
has occurred geographically in the expansion of Los
Angeles In the early progress of the city, in it's
era the hill portion the favorite for residences
Handsome structures erected the slightly emf

was comparatively untouched. Many such residences
still adorn the hills landmarks of the earlier period.
The advent of rapid transit however, public
attention the level lands of the southwest and west
more remote from the business CENTER and the expan-
sion of the city almost exclusively in that direction
At the present time there is not point of the
pass that does not disclose business activity in Los
Angeles. The west and the southwest still hold the
fort in popularity, but the grip also is shared by all
other sections to greater less extent Districts that
rated dormant for years have felt the spur of
progress and rivaling the older favorites in
building improvement. The north, and south all
begin to challenge the favore sections of the west and
southwest for popularity in the future.
The question of transit undoubtedly has been an
important factor in effecting the change thus noted
although the natural beauty of the districts sighted
before and now appreciated have exerted strong
influence The gradual trend of improvement in one or
general directions caused like lengthening the
time required in passage between residences and the
business center That consideration finally led to the

The encomums passed upon the city by strangers
in noticing its unquestoned general beauty satisfy
the esthetic citizen We see perhaps readily than
the stranger such defects detract from the general
appearance which excites admiration at first sight
Los Angeles is properly classed beautiful city,
but there two degrees Of comparison beyond beau
tiful.
Progressive citizens who have deep affection for the
town eager to it beautiful and their zeal
will not be satisfied until the superative degree at
tanned.
The streets of Los Angeles not progressive
level with the fine business structures and handsome
residences that line them Fair progress is noted in
the making of better streets and with that start the
time has become rife for beautifying the streets
AS beginning that direction, and necessary be-
ginning, there should be less talk and action in
the line of clearing the forest Of unsghtly poles from
the curbs
Admitting that it is too expensive at to put all
electric wires under ground except in a limited area,
there reason why the wire supports should not be
made less hdeous There examples in Los Angeles
of style of steel supports for the highest wire lines
which light shapey and quite artistic. The substi
tuition of such supports for the many varieties of per-
pendicular logs that deface the streets would greatly
relieve the ugly perspective that the eye encounters
Another important matter in the line of beautifyng
the streets is the need systematic plan OF
ing along the curb lines. Many streets of Los Angeles
have handsome borders of shade trees but the whole

that every lot follows his inclination in the
selection and placing of trees.
There several varieties of trees shading the
streets which popular years ago but now are
obsolescent The eucalyptus, pepper and graviea are
examples of that class The first named embraces
handsome species but those most commonly in
Los Angeles have only their rapid growth to commend
them. The pepper tree is beautiful in twig, leaf and
berry, but roots up and destroys sidewalks besides
littering the surface of the walks with berries and
twgs. The gravillea is beautiful shade tree but its
almost perennial shedding of twgs makes it nuisance

Put the electric wires underground fast as that
is feasible; obge the Of the ugly poles to
place them with such light and symmetrical steel
ports noted BEFORE adopt plan for congruous
planting all curb lines having the whole tree system
under proper official supervision that the barbarous
tree butcher may be held at bay.

PRACTICAL. AMERICAN WOMEN
Mrs. Rorer Takes Very Pessimistic
View
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is discouraging to have Mrs. Sara
Tyson Rorer, the expert on cooking,
say that American women are growing
less practical; that their homes are
gradually slipping out of their hands
and that housekeeping has improved
but little in the last generation.
For the past twenty years almost
every womans club has sustained a
home science department, the number
of cooking schools has increased all
over the land and almost every news
paper devotes at least one column a
week to household arts. What is the
matter that the returns are so poor?
Where is the laxity?
All the clubs have reported progress
in the condition of the home. 1t has
been pronounced more sanitary, more
artistic, more scientifically conducted
than ever before. The plumbing is
looked after most religiously. Clean
rugs have taken the place of the filthy
carpets in vogue generation ago.
Breakfast foods, appetizing fruits and
delicious steaks have taken the place
of the heavy, greasy breakfasts of
thirty years ago. If dinners are some
what more elaborate it is rather in the
mode of serving than in the fussiness
of preparation.
The dinner today tempts to CONVEX
sation, whereas the same meal a gen.
Grafton ago meant business, loading
up, an eating with little thought of
the esthetic side of things. Eat what
is set before you was the maxim in
vogue. and in many cases it required
scripture authority to make one swal-
low the unwholesome meal.
The housekeeper of today is priding
herself on her proficiency in the chem
istry of foods. She knows the animal
proteids and the vegetable proteids,
the albumens, the proteoses and the
peptones. She knows just what to set
before one to produce the desired circu-
lation or the kind of vitality needed.
Nor does she trust to luck as her
grandmother did. She works scien-
titically. She brings her mathematics
to bear and scorns slipshod methods.
How, then, can Mrs. Rorer speak
so slightingly of the modern house,
keeper? Has she heard none of the
papers read before women's clubs?
None of the discussions? Has she
never met the modern woman in all
her glory as housekeeper? Never sat
at her table and tasted the hygienic
foods? Never listened to the brilliant
conversation that is now a feature Of
the ordinary home dinner?
Where has Mrs. Rorer been all this
time that she has escaped the up-to-
date housewife the product of the
college, the cooking school and the
home department of the club?
Perhaps Mrs. Rorer, on further in

EXCESSIVE RENT CHARGES

In the history of Los Angeles there never has been
such complaint of high rents for business places
al is heard this spring.
The policy attributed to the railways of charging
"al the traffic will bear is the policy pursued by the
average of business property according to the
view taken by the average tenant Business concerns
that have long been established and that always have
been prosperous complaining of the figures de.
manded now for stores and shops.
The policy of exacting the last possible dollar in
rentals is shortsghted Good judgment demands the
retention Of satisfactory tenant more favorable
terms than could be expected where business
venture is to be undertaken The chance of business
failure and the likelihood of complete loss of income
from such property in the interval between tenants al
ways is a matter to take into account The possibility
of making the figure more than "the traffic will bear
should be overlooked
There is also considerable complaint this spring in
regard to the rent figures for dwellings, not to the
extent noted concerning business places Visitors who
make inquiries in that line remark upon the higher
rents for houses in Los Angeles compared with cities
of approximate size in the east.
Excessive rent charges reasonably sure to cause
profuse display of For Rent notices.

TEN-CENT INSURANCE
Billions in Development of One Branch
OF Big Business

From the Worlds Work.
Thirty-three years ago a New YorH
insurance mans attention was at
tracted one day by a rather derogatory
reference in the Massachusetts insur-
ance report to the work of an English
company, which was insuring the lives
of workingmen and children on a large
scale. Today that man is president OF
panies, which stand pledged to pay in
the future more than two billion dol
lars to more than ten million people
which are dispensing half a million
dollars a week to their policy holders
in sums averaging perhaps a hundred
dollars; which have assets stored ur
of nearly one hundred and fifty mil
lions; and most notable of all, which
collect, by hand, a quarter of mill
lion dollars day in ten cent piecesi
Such a growth within the working life
of one man is amazing, even in this
age of industrial miracles, and an ex-
animal ation of its details heightens the
wonder.
Strangely enough, though one family
out of every five in the United States
has one or more industrial policies on
some member, the average well-in-
formed man knows nothing whatever
about the system or its workings. But
ask your household servants, and the
chances are you will find that at least
one of them is paying ten cents week
to company which guarantees her
hundred dollars or so in case of
death-enough to pay for the funeral
expenses. This was the foundation
principle nf industrial insurance, and
is still the dominant reason for Its
existence: the avoidance of a burial
at public expense, or leaving a burden
of debt upon ones family. The aver
age cost of burial for a child under
two years is from $12 to $25; the aver
age insurance on children between one
and two years old is $19.4s. At the
age of ten, the average funeral ex-
pense is $50-the average industrial
policy, $59.94.
From this initial idea, however. the
business has developed "cash divi-
dends" and "paid-up policies" until
now it's payments of claims alone
amount to twenty-five million dollars
year, in sums ranging from SIS to
$1,000.
