LIGHT BREAKFASTS BEST.

True vegetarianism is not altogether
wise for the rushing and busting Ameri-
can,' - says Mrs. s. T. Rorer, in the Ladies
Home Journal. Experiments, however.
are limited to very narrow range. Our
so-called food specialists are single-eyed
on the meat question, for they are, uni
versally, meat-eating men. Then, too,
there is a tremendous lack Of knowledge
as to how to select the proper meat sub
stitutes and how to cook them. A vege-
table diet does not mean potatoes and
green vegetables. These do not contain
nitrogen. A person fed upon such food
would soon become unable to follow his
daily rounds. Peas, beans, lentils and nuts
served alone, or mixed with starchy foods,
as hominy and rice, will give sustaining
power not obtainable by meat diet. The
Japanese. who do, in their country, the
work performed here by horses. are prac-
tically vegetarlans; their muscles are well
and evenly developed and their strength
uniform
| In summing up then, it would be bet
! ter for the American, especially the indoor
worker, to eat meat at the principal meal
| of the Experimentation at noon or
night. Even a laboring man, after the
long sleep and rest Of the night, wherein
the muscles have regained themselves
does not need q heavy meat breakfast
! Fruit, a cereal with milk or cream, Bit
Of toast, an egg and cup OF coffee are
quite sufficient.

QUEEN LOVES FLOWERS
Alexandra HAS Unique Floral Dinner
3<s Service

The queen Of England Is probably
fonder Of flowers than any other mem
Der Of the royal family. She delights
in old-fashioned flower gardens, and,
when at her beloved Norfolk home, she
takes the greatest interest in any alter
ations made in her gardens.
Her majesty's favorite flowers are
violets and roses, and in order that she
may always have an abundance Of them,
bingham are devoted to the cultivation
Of violets; while over 10000 trees were
planted Of one kind Of rose alone.
Queen Alexandra 8 knowledge Of the
flora Of her native land is extensive,
and she has dinner service each plate
and dish Of which represents a Danish
flower. Whenever new flower is dis
covered, another piece is added to the

Of velvet and it must be cut to the
exact curve of the skirt, the ordinary
bias band will hardly answer-and this
is decorated with a stiff quilting both
at top and bottom. One refers to them
as foot trimmings; but the plain bands
Of velvet, of handsome braids, and
other forms of appliques, are more usu-
ally posed some four or five inches
above the hem rather than right at the
skirt edge.
There is apparently no limit set to
the uses Of those smart and dressy little
bouillonne bands. In their very latest
caprices they are made with a frill ex-
tending from either edge, this being
either Of the material, or else of some
| contrasting stuff, usually ribbon Of
some sort.
These bands are applied in straight,
in wavy, or in conventional lines. Some
terms, intersecting rings, the Greek key
design, trefoils and shell patterns; and
the only limit that may be set to their
use will be that marked by the ingenu-
ity of the designer. With the feather
bone cording already referred to run
| IN the edges the work is made far easier
for the needlewoman; and the develop
ment of the pattern upon the cloth is
made matter of far less time and
trouble.
! One sees this simple but really effect
i've trimming upon all sorts of mater
ials. Upon broadcloth and gauze, crepe
and chiffon, silk and sicilienne alike, it
is always effective, and shows up to the
best advantage no matter where it is
posed.
Suggestion for Making Over.
A recent importation from Paris
| shows a gown that is strongly sugges-
tive of made-over design, altho it
was fresh from one of the famous
makers of the modes. The material is
a.. medium shade of sage-green henri.
gored part extending only above the
knee, and each breadth perfectly plain
and straight from that point. Here
each seam is slit to admit fan plaits
of boldly checked taffeta, in white
and sage green, and little strappings of
the other, seemingly to hold the fan
plating in place. The bodice is one
of those eoat-eorsage affairs, open in
/ front to display lingerie chemisette,
| and there is a closely plated basque
frill starting from the darts and deep
ening quite little in the back. The
coat is of the plain material, the deep
swathed girdle of the checked silk cut
on the bias; and the sleeve, which only
comes to the elbow, is double puff Of
henrietta, with two outstanding cuffs Of
silk piped with sage-green velvet.
The style is one that can readily be
applied to a gown that has become
| passe, but not at all worn The cores
of the skirt can be slit to admit the
silk; and the bodice material draped
! over new lining cut after the later
modes, can, if cleverly manipulated,
make the gown look altogether new.
The fact of the half sleeves being in
such vogue will often help out made
over model; and assuredly there is a
smartness to this style that will com
/ mend it to many

The New Figure.

One thing is certain, and the girl who
fashions her own frocks for the love of
the work, and the originality and indi-
yldual1ty that she can achieve in this
fashion, must bear it in mind, and that
is that the patterns that fitted her per-
fectly last season will not do at all for
this.
10 begin with, the corset, the founda-
ton OF the costume, is altogether diff
ferent. The straight front, of course,
still prevails; but it is the straight front
with a difference. The manufacturers
have cleverly heightened the waistline
all the way from the under-arm down,
and without the slightest pinching or
squeezing they have managed to reduce
the circumference of the waist itself
some inch or so; and then the curve
to do.
All this makes it imperative that the
fitted lining which cannot possibly be
omitted from any of the new frocks,
must be cut to meet those new lines.
The position and the set of the darts is
highly important, and upon their cor.
rect location depends the smartness of
the front, and the rounded lines that
are expected to prevail at the waist.
The hipline, too, has changed; and
where the extremely sloping hip once
prevailed, there is greater roundness
demanded now. The fact that all of
the new bodies are to be worn over the
skirt, instead Of the skirtband fast
ening over the bodice, as was the style
for SO many seasons, makes closer
and more correct fit at the waist and
hipline Of the skirt matter of ex-
treme Importance.

THE frOckS that are to make their

to themselves a richness of material and
an elaboration Of trimming to which
fashion has long been stranger.
That it is an era of elaboration, and
extravagant elaboration at that, as the
clever dresser who follows the fashions
well knows; but on the other hand the
coming modes afford field for inge-
nuity, for the fashioning of a smart

sions, that have already seen some serv-
ice. be it little or much.
The bodlces grow dressier day by
day; and even the little lingerie blouses
that are supposed to be for morning
or informal luncheon wear only, are
keeping step with the onward rush, and
are taking to themselves more intricate
schemes Of trimming than they ever
did before.

that have been permitted in both dress

SAW BLACK APPARITI0N
AT BEDROOM WINDOW
Domestic Suddenly Aroused From
Sleep and Frightened by Early
Morning lntrud.

Morning Intruder
Hllma Lindgren, employed as do
mestic at 1409 Elden avenue, was
startled early yesterday morning by a
black apparition appearing at her vim
dow. Too frightened to scream, she
buried her head deep under the bed
clothing. After several minutes she
collected enough scattered courage to
peer out from her hiding place to see
IL the horrible black phantom still re-
mained. 1t was gone.
She leaped from he'd and, scantily
attired, fastened downstairs to arouse
Mrs. A. w. Bumiller. by whom she is
employed. After some time spent in
calming her shattered nerves, Miss
Lindgren was able to give Mrs. Bumil-
ler a description of the "ghost" which
appeared at her window.
The description given by the girl
coincided with that of Frank King, a
negro, employed as a janitor next door.
The police were summoned and Pa
trolman Murphy was sent to investi-
gate the trouble. King was found in
his room, apparently fast asleep. When
aroused by the policeman he declared
that ne had been in bed since 10 o'clock.
King was arrested and charged with
attempted burglary, but on further in
vestigation the charge was dismissed.

To REVOLUT|ON|zE
FREIGHT TRAFFIC
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TAKES THE
INITIAL STEP
WILL RUN TRAINS OF 55 CARS
Fifteen Of the Heaviest Consolidated
Engines En- Route to Los Angeles,
and VIII Ply Between Here
and FL Paso
WILL RUN TRAINS OF 55 CARS

with the arrival Of the necessary
equipment, the Southern Pacific rail-
road will, within the next two weeks,
put into effect a freight service between
Los Angeles and Ell Paso, which will in
many respects revolutionize the trans
portation of such traffic on the Pacific
coast.
Freight trains now running out Of
Los Angeles with from eighteen to
thirty cars will be consolidated into
trains of as high as fifty-ive cars each
and sent forward to FL Paso on the
time schedule now in effect.
Oficials state the object is to econ
omize in operating expenses, which will
mean fewer train crews.
The adoption of the consolidation Of
freight into trains over a third of a
mile long and pulled by huge engines
Of the Pacific type Is in line with the
same plan now In operation on a num-
ber of eastern lines, but until now
deemed unfeasible in the mountain and
Pacific coast region on account of steep
grades. Ten years ago Southern Pacific
officials would have laughed at the
proposition as an impossibility.
During the past four years, however,
the Southern Pacific has been putting
in heavier rails and strengthening its
bridges. so that it is now prepared for
the use of the heavier euuipment, which
makes possible the innovation.
All Tests Satisfactory
Tests, which resulted satisfactorily,
have been going on for the past two
weeks.
Fifteen of the heaviest consolidated
engines, each weighing $4,000 pounds,
are now on their way westward, to re-
place the lighter moguls in service at
the present time. Now the maximum
weight Of freight trains is 1900 tons
With the new engines 1t will be in
creased to 1000 tons, or an equivalent
to train of fifty-ive cars.
1t is expected that these trains will
be run through directly to Ell Paso, and
the tests made have demonstrated that
the same time can be maintained as
that of the lighter trains now in SER
vice.
owing to the steep grades between
Los Angeles and San Francisco the
service will continue the same as at
present between these two points.

BOOKS OF LIBRARY
TO BE CATAL0GUED
Bid Accepted for Publication of Index
to 117,ooo Volumes Now
ON EiIA


on File
Plans made by the members of the
Library board to publish a list of the
works of fiction and history added to
the library within the last four years
will probably be a reality in the shape
of a catalogue of the entire library,
containing 117,000 volumes, shortly.
Librarian Mary L. Jones stated to
the board at It's regular session last
night that the task would be one Of
four or five years and Of great ex-
pense, but the sentiment of the mem
bers was that such a catalogue should
be issued as soon as possible. The
thought was expressed that next year
the increased valuation of property
would give sum of $4,000 or $4,000
over that of this year for library pur-
poses, and such could be applied in
logue.
No such volume has been issued
since 1891, when the library consisted Of
10000 volumes.
A complete fiction list will be pub
lished Immediately, and a bid of B. M
Baumgardt to print such volume Of
800 pages at a cost of $3.50 page for
1000 copies has been accepted.
The librarian is to be given additional
assistance in the cataloguing of $4,000
volumes of foreign, music and mis-
cellaneous work, and is to submit a
plan and probable expense for so do
ing at the next meeting of the board.

COURT APPORTIONS
IRRIGATION WATERS
Decides That Lucky" Baldwin ls En-
titled to but Fifty-Eight Inches
of River Flow

An important decision was handed
down yesterday by Judge Wilbur In
the suit of the Arroyo Irrigation COM
pany against E. J. cLucky") Baldwin.
The case has been fought in the SUI
perior court for the past several
months. Baldwin claiming that he was
entitled to a percentage of 239 inches
Of the water of the Old San Gabriel
river for irrigating his fine alfalfa
lands and walnut orchards. The irri-
cation company took a different view,
however, and suit was filed.
y The decision took up all the points
in the case and defined the boundaries
of both the new and old rivers. The
percentage of the percolating waters
to be used by both factions was also
decided upon and Baldwin was allowed
f1fty-eight inches for his property and
the irrigation company 1857 inches.
