New Firm Established to Handle q

eronen, Noethen G. Co..
Severance Building

The word progress" has figured
largely in the life of Frank j. Noothen,
late manager of the real estate and In
surance department Of the Golden
State Realty company, with which
well-known concern he had been iden-
titled since its organization. lie re-
signed his splendid position, carrying
as It did a great weight Of responsible
ity, to enter the field associated with
Mrs. w. Z. Gronen, who, with her
late husband, so well known to the
business men Of the city, had for the
past twelve years been associated with
Mr.. Noethen in realty enterprises, most
of the time in Chicago.
Mr.. Noethen came to Los Angeles
with his partner whose failing health
made the change necessary Almost
Immediately he became identified with
the bustling business life of Los An
geles and among his early successes
was the exclusive management of the
sale of the La Grande beach tract, con-
sisting of 1000 lots, nearly all of which
were sold. Since that time he has man.
aged several tracts with marked success
and it was q matter OF current remarlI:
when Noethen gets behind q thing it
made him to retain his position, he
nevertheless felt it his duty to enter an
enlarged field where he could give
editorial attention to the Southern
California Real Estate Guide, jour
nal published in the interests of the
realty business of this particular sec
ton of country.
Before assuming editorial manage
ment of the Guide Mr.. Noethen COM
piled a mail list that will he of inesti-
mable value to the realty dealers of
Southern California in calling the at
tention of buyers in the east and middle
west to Los Angeles and the surround
ing country.
Mrs. Gronen is also well known in
the business life of Chicago and Los
Angeles and will be a valuable aid to
the hustling young man who thinks of
and settles more matters in minute
than does the ordinary man in an
hour
Gronen & Noethen have the exclusive
control of Willow Junction tract on
the Long Beach line, consisting of about
200 choice lots, as well as other tracts
in the city proper The Offices of
Noethen * Gronen are located on the
fourth floor of the Severance building.

Sociology Class Looks in at Homo on

If Jean Jacques Rousseau had inter-

the beauty of the abolition of the parent
it is not likely the world would ever
have heard of his doctrines.
This view of one is the result of
visit to a patent parentless home

other conclusion--the most forlorn of

Across the moonlit or starlit sky

black and ominous. like the donjons

der these conditions. the lower end
of Manhattan, where they most
abound. might almost pass for the
Mont st. Michael of the new world.
In a night of raid the ruddy refec-
ton of their lights incarnadine the
clouds until the entire city appears
to be the prey Of a monster confia-
grafton. Under the slanting glow of
the rising or setting sun their tops
take on the gorgeous iridescence of
the peaks of Mont Blanc, the Rigi or
the Matterhorn, and one quite for
gets. as in the Alps. to be critical of

Kentucky Tonic.

The crisp, clear. cool air of the
autumn is felt in the Kentucky zeph-

tonic so wholesome as natures and
there is no tonic so good or so mex
pensive as exercise in the fresh air.

Can the Ewes be Believed?

Prof. Claparede of a Swiss univer-
sity recently asked Of class of fifty
four students eight simple questions
concerning the rooms they daily WIS.,
tied at the school.
Are the columns in the vesribule
round or square" rs there a win
dow facing the doorkeepers box?"
is the ceiling in the large ampithe-
atre plain or decorated?" and 80 on.
Forty five Of the fiftyfour students
declared that there was no window
at all; eight remembered that there
was a window, but each and all at.
'tributed q wrong situation TO It; one
more sincere than his fellows, can
didly owned that he had not the least
idea whether there was a window or
not. As regards the shape OF the col
umns in the vestibule. only six an
swers were correct.
BY way of continuing the expert
ment, one day a wan conspicuously
costumed suddenly burst into the
classroom. where he performed GER
tain antics and uttered certain en-
phatic phrases prearranged with the
professor. He was then thrust out Of
the door as If he had been an ordi-
mar unauthorized intruder. Here
was a scene, says the Grand Maga-
zine, eminently calculated by reason
OF its strangenesS and unexpected
ness to impress the imagination of
the students.
A few days later on some pretext
or another, Prof. Claparede asked
his pupils to describe to the hest of
their recollections the person and
acts of the masked man. Out Of the
twenty-five students who had been
present on the occasion only four
described the man accurately. The
rest either admitted that their rec
ollectionof the scene was absolutelv
at fault or gave such a description
that it might have have applied to
anybody rather than the correct per-
son.
