Being a member of a lodge of Ma

that we can compliment Orleans
Lodge and its co. workers, the East

in history as one of the most enjoy
able evenings we have ever passed
in a lodge room and in building ad-
jacent to the temple.
We might mention here that Or

assistant judges.
After calling the docket there re-
NAMED several cases for trial but it is
not likely there will be many cases

There are several criminal cases and
some cases. to be trie d by court be-

STUDENT NEWS READERS

A professor in Northwestern univer-
Sity has laid it down as an imperative
rule for the students in his classes that
they shall read the newspapers every
day, and thus acquaint themselves with
current events. II shall consider this"
he told them, fully as important as the
daily lesson assigned from the text
books" There is more in this require
ment than might appear at first glance.
The educational value of q good daily
newspaper can hardly be overestimated.
Such reading every day, done with care.
thoroughness and discrimination, is n
university training in itself; for broad
ening the views and enlarging the
scope of ones sympathies and inter-
ests there is nothing like it. 1t seems
almost inconceivable that man can
be a good American citizen, alive to his
duties, obligations and opportunities,
and alert and intelligent in their exer-
else, if he is not a regular and dis
eliminating reader OF some wide-awake
and sensible daily journal.-Leslie's

SAFEST SEAT IN THE TRAIN

Timid persons shun the last car, at
least for week or two after reading
about some deadly "rear-end" accident,
and the first car from fear of head
on" collision. They practice the old
maxim, "In the middle you will go
safest" and stick to the middle of the
train. A scientific gent" has just
demonstrated, after much brow-fur-
rowing calculation, that a seat in the
middle of the last car but one is the
safest. Thus does science verify, with
great parade, the conclusions of the
non-learned. Accidents are so diverse
and eccentric, however, that the stoical
traveller puts more trust in his accident
policy than in any doctrine of proba-
bilities At last the railroad companies
are condescending to build steel cars.
Human life ought to lengthen as a
consequence. 1t has not escaped cyni-
cal observation that the voyager in
Pullman is usually safer than the
common herd -Everybody's.

MAY HOLD WELSH FESTIVAL
Plans Being Made for Securing Ma
tlonaI Eisteddfod for
Ios Anueles

The movement to have national
eisteddfod in Los Angeles next winter
is creating considerable interest among
the prominent Welsh people here. 1t
is a great national musical event among
the Welsh people in their own country
and in America. DR.. j. w. Jones of
Los Angeles has been communicating
with the prominent Welsh leaders in
the eastern states and has received
the encouragement that several choirs
would come from Pennsylvania, New
of the Welsh in America, in the event
that it was decided to meet in Los
Angeles. The Pacific coast and local
talent would largely swell the NUNS
ber of singers.
1t is proposed to have one of the
largest musical events in Los Angeles
that has ever occurred in America.
If it is decided to have it here there
will be sharp competition for excellent
music and the winning of large prizes.
DIR. Jones says that every eisteddfod
that has been held in this country has
paid its own expenses, but in order to
secure successful results it would re-
ouire the guarantee of $4,000 for the
event in Los Angeles. This guaran-
tee would be for the purpose of Sc
curing the choirs from the east.
"It would require nine months of
feet the choirs for the concerts that
would continue from three to five days,
the morning and afternoon sessions
being devoted to contests and the even
ing sessions to the concerts. The
eisteddfod would bring one of the larg-
est and most refined gatherings ever
assembled in Los Angeles"

ESTIMATES COST
OF BIG AQUEDUCT
LOS ANGELES WILL EXPEND
$36,824,669
Engineer Frank n. oImsted Submits
Report on Ovens River Project.
Says soher'e Is in Every
Way Feasible

Thirty-six million dollars to bring the
Owens river water into Los Angeles is
the estimate given by Frank III. Ohm
sted, the consulting engineer who ac-
companied the councilmanic party on
its iunket into the owens river valley,
in report which he submitted TO the
council yesterday. The exact figures
are $36,S24, 669 This total is reduced,
however, by Mr.. Olinsteds estimate,
figured on a 4 per cent basis that the
city will receive an annual net income
of $10,175,O0O from the power which it
has at its disposal in bringing this vast
amount of water into the city.
AS these figures were so much in eX-
cess of the $23,000,000 estimated by cx-
Mayor Fred Eaton and Superintendent
OF Water Works Mulholland the Coun-
Gil was staggered for a minute, but re-
covered when a paragraph in the report
was read, stating that Mr.. Olmsteds s
figures were based on a larger conduit
than Mr. NIulholland had considered
and by the further statement that the
estimates were only approximate and
were made on the prevailing price of
materials. Mr.. Olmstcd readily ad-
mitted that he had made his estimate
high, as 1t was better to be outside the
cost than inside.

Notes for Women
Fad for Ancestral Jewels

Growth OF the craze for ancestral
Jewels makes those who have none
most uncomfortable, and they are try
ing to frown down the fad. Kiiaen
Van Rensselaer, of New York used at
the ceremony when he married Miss
Dorothy Mason last week a wedding
ring which was used by the first Kiliaen
Van Rensselaer, when he married Anna
van Weyler in December, 1927. The
first I[ilaen was a wealthy diamond
merchant. Books of biography have IL
that he came to this country thirty
years previous to the year Of his mar
riage, which, with the names. is set
forth on the inside of the old ring as
December H. 1927. The present Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, is proud of the circlet
and says that as the Jewel thief is now
a factor to be reckoned with she will
never let the ring out of her sight.

WRITES CHRISTMAS VERSE

It's Christmas on the calendar,
Tho June is in the air,
And summer skies are overhead,
And flowers are everywhere;
There are no wintry winds to blow,
No nipping frosts to chill,
No holly and no sparkling snow
TO mark the season: Still
The Yuletide spirit holds its sway
In spite of natures arts
It's Christmas on the calendar,
And Christmas in our hearts!
Probably none of the Christmas
verses Of this year has called forth
more expressions of admiration than
these lines, which appeared on the
Christmas menu cards of the Hollen-
beck hotel.
Miss Ruth Comfort Mitchell, daugh-
ter of j. s. Mitchell, manager of the
hotel. is the author of the verses eX-
pressing so well the true Christmas
spirit which prevails i'm one cline as
well as another. Miss Mitchell is a
talented young writer and has several
clever short stories and plays to her
credit as well as some verse.

mand by the guests at the hotel cafe.

SLEPT IN THE M0RGUE
When the Keepers Objected Mr.. CAL

Not to Be Dead

NOT TO Be Dead
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-James Cala-
han, employed as a nurse on Randalrs
Island, after spending pleasant morn
ing with friends in Harlem, started in
search of a resting place to catch u
wink of sleep. He wandered into the
Harlem morgue at noon and laid down
on the floor.
The sleeper was rudely disturbed by
John Collins, the morgue keeper, who
was surprised to see the form of Cal
lahan stretched at full length on the
floor. Collins mistook the sleeping man
for a dead body and called for Martin
Spellman, the driver of the morgue
wagon.
did you bring in this body?" asked
Collins.
NO" replied Spellman, angrily.
"That's not dead one, that's a
sleeper"
Collins then went over and shook Call
lahan until he was awake.
What are you doing among the
dead?" demanded the morgue keeper
well, I'll show you I'm not dead
one" Callahan replied, as he landed "a
blow on Collins nose. Then he wheeled
on Spellman and landed on the eye.
Callahan was angry, but Collins and
Spellman were determined, and they
finally threw him out.
He returned, however, in n minute
and hostilities were renewed. The noise
of the encounter, however, had been
heard by Policeman Shanley of the
East One Hundred and Twenty-sixtl
street station, who was on duty at the
Charities pier. He went to the rescue
and. executing a flank movement,
captured Callahan.
He was taken to the East One Hun
dred and Twenty-sixth street station
and locked up.

WIFE WORTH SO CENTS. WEEK
New Jersey Court Awards Husband
That Much for Lost Services

ed verdict awarding Charles Lauben-
stein 81 damages in the joint suit
brought by himself and Henrietta
Laubenstein, his wife, against the

stein, because of the injuries she had
received in being thrown while alight-
ing from a car near Fairmount ceme-
terry last July was entitled to $50 dam
ages from the same defendant. The
verdict for Mrs. Laubenstein was bas-
ed on the Doctors bills she claimed she
had to pay and the medicine she had
purchased. The lack of any decided
proof in the testimony to show that she
had been sufficiently incapacitated to
deprive her husband of her services for
the three weeks it was alleged she had
been confined to her bed and room.

ARIZONA STATEHOOD

In a lengthy editorial the esteemed
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. a Republi-
can organ devoted to the interests of
the national administration, gives out
the information cold and fiat that
soon after the holiday recess the house
Will send to the senate n bill erecting
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
INTO the state OF Oklahoma and trans
forming the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico into the state of Arizona.
Inc Dill VIII pass the senate in that
shape. 1t will be signed by the presi-
dent. There is not the slightest reason
for doubt on any one of these points"
Further along the Globe-D Democrat
states that opposition to the union of
Arizona and New Mexico has about dis
appeared and that it only existed in
the first place among politicians who
figured that two states would give them
double amount of offices to fill.
The Globe-Democrat may be right in
its announcement that joint statehood
is inevitable as to Arizona and New
Mexico, because forsooth the Republic
can leaders are apparently determined
to gerrymander everything into adding
Republicans to the present list of
United States senator's, but it will
be wrong to Arizona, nevertheless-a
wrong for which the Republican party
will have to answer at some future
time.
Moreover, the assumption of the
Glohe-Democrat that opposition TO
joint statehood has disappeared and
that it only existed among the poll
ticians is absolutely untrue. Ninety
five per cent of the people of Arizona
Democrats and Republicans alike
were and are opposed to joint state
hood, and will fight it to the last
ditch. If the fiat has gone forth from
Washington that single statehood must
come, there ere Republican politicians
enough in Arizona to tumble into the
Washington andwagon and stir up a
few Arizona supporters, but the peo-
pie themselves are solldly arrayed
against it.
And if Arizona and New Mexico shall
be finally admitted as a single state it
will be a political crime for which the
national Republican party will be held
responsible

TEA DRINKING AND TYPHOID

1t is said on the high authority of a
celebrated American journal that al
though the Chinese people live in
germ saturated soil, they are singularly
free from typhoid fever and other dis
eases of which water is the medium of
communication. This condition is at
tributed to the universal custom of
Copious tea drinking.
The tea itself is not held to be the
safeguard against disease, but the boil
ing of the drink has a germcidal effect
which produces sanitary advantages.
And if tea produces any i'll results they
are not to be considered beside these
advantages.
The tea leaf is described as forming
one of the most innocent and attractive
favorings possible for hot drinks, and
the boiled drink is the foe to the deadly
germ.--Boston Globe.

ToUGHNEss OF THE ANT

Ants are really very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. Janet had
two queens under observation for ten
years, and one of Sir John Lubbock;
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year
Ants are very tenacious of life after
severe injury. Following loss of the
entire abdomen, they sometimes live
two weeks, and in one case headless
ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic
surgery, lived for forty-one days. A
carpenter ant, after being submerged
eight days in distilled water came to
life upon being dried, so that they are
practically proof against drowning.
They can live for long periods without
food; in one case the fast lasted nearly
nine months before the ant starved to
death.-Scientific American.

Only ONE PLACE no LIVE

On a salary Of 500 to $50 a week,
according to Public opinion. man in
New York city has hard time liv-
ing in any sort of decency on such
salary the dream of a home for two
IS impossible. The barest sort Of ex-
istence, eked out in a prune-and-
breakfast-food boarding house. in a
miserable hall bedroom, costs SIS per
week, and that leaves little for any
thing else, and at least Sc car fare per
month is imperative, as no one can
live near his work.
IL he live in Brooklyn, the Bronx or
Jersey, he may secure, quarters a little
better, but at the expense of double
car fare. A cottage with his own DOOR
yard, even fiat with the woes of
janitor, are out of the purview Of his
vision.
How different It is IN Los Angeles
Here on the same salary one may
live in mis- own home i'm comfort. A
delightful cottage, with ample grounds,
may be had for SIS UP. Five cents each
way pays car fare, and half an hour
or less covers the distance to work.
In his own dooryard the man may
have blooming flowers of the richest
and rarest varieties every day in the
year. His walk may be bordered by
palms and peppers and he may dine
on the best of earth. Strawberries that
cost the New York nabob 81 apiece
arc on his table at Christmas, and
the furnace fire is an unknown evil.
And IL he prefers to own? He may
buy lot on terms, or, owning one,
may build in the same fashion. Every
month his debt is less and his property
is worth more. Every tree and shrub
he plants increases it's value, and it's
sale at greater price than il costs
is always a possibility. He is free,
independent, a citizen and land
owner in the garden spot of the world.
He fears neither blizzard nor torrid
spell; he sleeps o nights free from
roaring racket or sepulchral silence;
the song of the mocking bird en-
chants his dreams and the robin awalk-
ems him.
Little old New York; is very fine
in theory. "The Great White Way" is
beautiful-to Holsters and chorus girls.
But the man who would live in the
fullness of his living-he comes to

rather out of date for older members
