CARRY * FAN
If You Are Self Conscious 1t Relieves
Awkwardness and Nervousness.

A young woman who is nervously self
conscious will find pretty fan a verit-
able boon in assisting her to overcome
awkward movements of the hands.
Many young women who are stay at
homes find embarrassment in meeting
people at social gatherings Their lack
OF poise Is sure to betray itself in awk-
ward gestures and Il seeming SUI
perfluity of hands and feet the way in
which a wit summed up the gaucherie
of one young woman.
Amateurs who take part in plays, and
most young professional actors, are
known to find the hardest part of their
new experience in breaking in their
hands and feet" That is to say. they
are too conscious of the fact that they
are possessed of these limbs. which
seem to be fearfully ''in the way" To
overcome the nervousness that fnvari-
ably results from this feeling, expe-
rfenced stage managers insist that these
green actors carry a cane, a paper, even
a cigarette during their scenes. This
presses into service the obstinate hands
until such time as good presence
so called. has been established.
Bearing in mind the effectiveness of
tiliS eNPeulent the girl VINO is conscious
of personal awkwardness must. provide
herself with a fan and she will be sur
prised to find what friend 1t will prove
iE her dilemma The fact that she is
engaged in tanning herself will afford
a poise for the time being that will put
her at her ease
OF course, it is not supposed that she
will devote an entire evening to waving
the fan madly back and forth, but there
are any number of gestures which the
ran may be used to assume and even
II it is merely held unopened in her
hand IT will give sense of sureness to
her demeanor which will make for the
Improvement of her carriage and poise.
Even those tiny toy-like bits of lace
and spangles which are called fans only
by courtesy will do wonders to make
the awkward young woman appear at
ease. BY all means, If you are self-con-
scious, possess fan and WELD it when
you venture forth to parties. Before
the evening is over YOU will bless the
man who invented tie dainty weapon
which for generations has been ap-
proved by coauettish maids and matrons
of every cline.

San Bernardino Drenched

Special The Herald.
SAN BERNARINO, Cal, Feb. A.
More rain continues to fall in this sec
tion. The precipitation last night
amounted to 11S inches which brings
the total for the season up to S.72, or
within less than half an inch of the
total record for last season. In the
past three days the rainfall here has
amounted to 1926 inches, the heaviest
precipitation in the same length of
time for several years.
Washout conditions are greatly i'm
proved today, the Santa Fe being free
from trouble in this division, while the
work of repairing the Southern Pacific
lines in the San Timoteo canyon is
being rapidly pushed, so that it is
hoped to get trains through tonight or
tomorrow
Ranchers have suffered heavily from
the storms in some sections, large
tracts of newly sown grain being
washed out. But on the whole, they
are rejoicing, as the ground has re-
ceived such a drenching as it has not
had for many years. The most pros
porous seasons for years is looked for.

Riverside Buildings Injured

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 4-Rainfall for
the storm to date is 2.60 inches, making
total for the season of 74O. No
trains arrived from San Jacinto or Ell
sinore today, serious washouts having
swept the track between Ethanac and
Winchester and near Murrietta on the
Elsinore branch. At the latter point
400 feet of track were washed out. Re-
pairs will be made tomorrow. For the
first time in the past decade a large
stream is flowing down the Terques-
quite arroyo; washing out growing
crops and endangering houses.
Southern Pacific overlands are tied
up at Beaumont, the tracks in the San
Timoteo canyon, near Ell Casco, being
washed out. Several head of cattle
were drowned and serious damage done
to crops.
Rainfall for the storm at Perris was
four inches, and five inches fell at
Banning and Beaumont.
A crack was discovered in the hand
some new building of the Home Tele-
phone company this morning, the east
wall of the building having settled as
a result of the storm. The new court
house also shows the effect of the con-
tinuous rain, several sections of the
stucco cornice having fallen off. Large
cracks appear in several places.

NOTED HANK WRIGHT HAS
MADE HIS LAST DRIVE

Breathes His Last at
Reddinq

Special to The Herald.
REDDING. Feb. 4.-Hank Wright is
dead. Dangerously i'll, he practically
courted death by living in a tent on
South Pine street. His wife lived there
with him. Finally his condition be-
came such that it was considered best
to take him to the county hospital.
Other arrangements were made, how
ever, and he was taken into the house
recently occupied by Dave Moore
There it was thought he would be
better off than at the hospital because
his wife would be able to be with him
But a complication of diseases, the
most aggravated one being an affec-
tion of the stomach, caused his death
the next day.
Henry Wright was native of Mis-
souri,, aged SO years. In early life he
was employed as scout throughout
the west. There were but few his equal
in the matter of handling a gun or in
the knowledge of trails. Later he was
well known as teamster and stage
driver.

NEEDLES, Feb. 4.-During the past
forty-eight hours about two inches of
rain has fallen and the Sacramento
wash has become a raging torrent.
Last evening and during the night
the Santa Fe Railroad company lost
altogether between the Colorado river
and Kingman over three thousand feet
Of dump, and also had about three
thousand feet of side wash. One bridge
was badly damaged, an approach be-
expected to be in temporary condition
until some time tomorrow evening.
The wrecked limited of Friday is ly-
ing at Kingman. No. of yesterday and
No. 2 of this morning are still at
Needles. A No. stub left here at
o'clock this evening for Los Angeles
and San Francisco.
The railroad company has three
wreck trains and about three hundred
and fifty men rushing temporary re-
pairs.

Railroads Suffer Heavily

BY Associated Press.
BEAUMONT, Feb. 4.-The storm
wrought fearful havoc to Southern Pa
cific property between here and El Cas-
co, the roadbed being almost complete
ly washed out for a distance of two
miles, while miles of tracks are buried
under debris washed down from the
surrounding hills, Two bridges east
of El Casco have gone down, and at
one point water is two feet deep and
a quarter OF a mile wide on each side
Of the track. All westbound trains are
tied up east of Banning. Officials re-
port that traffic cannot be resumed for
three days at least. The Southern Pa

Two Of his boys were rescued and at
the last account his wife was still there
with the flood rapidly eating away her
little foothold, which is but three feet
above water. further rise may
sweep her away.
Aside from railroad conditions this
city has been all day in excitement
over the surface flood that swept across
the country from the mouth of Cave
creek, which is ordinarily swallowed
up in the desert above Glendale. The
flood from this desert stream crossed
the Arizona canal to the embanlxment
of the Santa Fe road, then swept back
southeast along the embankment and
the low swale adjoining, crossing the
west end of the city and surrounding
the territorial capitol building. The
water lacked but an inch or two Of
entering the building; the grounds were
submerged and the officials reached
their offices in carriages
In that section of the city dozens Of
houses are standing in the midst of a
vast lake, water running into some of
them and over the porch floors of
others. Some families and many of
the "tent dwellers for health" have been
driven out. Dozens Of ranches and
dairy farms in the path Of this unnat-
ural flood, precedented only by the
smaller one of three weeks ago, were
submerged to a depth of from two to
three feet, but the water is now falling.
1t is feared, however, that Cave
creek may rise again tonight, as signs
in that direction all day indicated rain.
This cross-country flood is damaging
only to property.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb. 4.-There was
no Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix
train to or from Phoenix today. on
account of washouts. Phoenix and east
ern trains were annulled, owing to the
bridges across the ella river at Twin
Buttes and Kelvin being injured. and
the south-bound Maricopa and Phoe-
nix train was Cancelled through fears
as to the stability Of the bridge over
the ella river this side of Maricopa.
A large force was employed in eff
forts to prevent disaster, the ella
river being even higher than during
the flood three weeks ago, which
swept away or injured all bridges. If
Maricopa bridge weathers tonight's
probable rise. train service may resume
tomorrow. Phoenix and eastern
bridges are badly damaged, but NOT
swept away. The Santa Fe expects to
have trains tomorrow, but this Is
doubtful, as great injury has undoubt-
edly been done to the track. The train
that left this morning went to Alham-
bra, five miles from here, and was
abandoned, passengers coming back in
carriages through water three or four
feet deep. The south-bound train due
at 1 a. m. is still at Wickenburg. Be-
tween Alhambra and Wickenburg the
approach to the new river bridge is
said to have been badly injured. The
storm is general all over Arizona.

LOS ANGELES RAIN RECORD

Weatherrnan Franklin has given his
promise that the weather will be fair
today and Street superintendent ]. G.
Hanley is glad of 1t. All others are
and even the wet weather croaker has
had enough.
Yesterday from early In the morning
until a late hour at night Hanley was
busy directing the repairs which must
be made as a consequence Of the rains
of the past three days and which he
says will cost the city more than
$4,000.
The worst damage done by the floods
of Friday night were on Sunset boule-
ward, where many embankments caved
in, and along Francis avenue, where
for long distance on both sides Of
the street the curbing and sidewawlks
were carried away. There are hun
dred other portions of the city where
the damage to public property will
amount TO hundreds Of dollars.
The rainfall for the storm, which
began February /, amounts to 1856
inches, which Forecaster Franklin says
Is the heaviest fall in years.

northern coast on February 1 and re-
mained stationary until the Sd, when
it began to move southwark and be-
came central. 1t gave general rains
south of the Columbia river and snow
in the mountains. Yesterday the storm
moved south and east, extending to the
Colorado river and thence to Utah.
Between the hours of 1 and 8 o'clock
Saturday morning the Los Angeles
river rose thirty-two inches, at which
time it was out of the old channel and
sweeping along as stream in places
over 100 feet wide, but of no consider
able depth, except where sand pits
were being worked. Street Superin-

Flood in Arroyo Seco
Dwellers in the Arroyo Seco became
alarmed during the early hours of Sat-
urday morning by the rush and swirl
of the rapidly rising waters, which
filled the old river bed. Small out
buildings were carried away by the
food and at road crossings debris was
piled up, in some cases blocking traffic.
The street railways also suffered
from the flood and men were out dur
ing the entire night protecting railway
property and keeping the lines open.
Washouts occurred along the Pasadena
short line and as a consequence no
cars were run over that line up until
noon of yesterday. The Los Angeles
Pacific railway sustained a washout at
Hollywood, which stopped traffic for
several hours. Some slight damage
was also done to the Mount Lowe rail-
way, but repairs have been made and
