CONSOLIDATION BUGABoo

Pasadena's board of trade has taken
the Initiative IN a movement for a con-
vention representing "the various civic
bodies Of Southern California Tho
specific purpose of this movement is
not vet disclosed, the announcement
merely stating that "the convention is
expected to last three days, and as an
outgrowth it is anticipated that fed
Grafton Of civic bodies of this section
viii be perfected" It is understood
generally, however, that the object is
to solidlfy the influence of the south
land I'm the legislature. so that IL may
be effective in regard TO measures
either beneficial to this section or in-
imical thereto.
An intimation has leaked out that
the salient purpose of the convention
in question is Ito prevent the passage
of any measure which would enable
Los Angeles to force consolidation with
the nearby towns" The Herald gives
no credence whatever to this report, for
the sufficient reason that all members
of the Pasadena board of trade, and
members as well of all other civic
organizations in Southern California.
know, or should know, that Los An
geles has not the most remote idea of
forcing consolidation" with any other
community
Los Angeles could not, if 1t would,
and would not If it could, force any
city, town or district in the matter of
consolidation. Any such enforcement
would be constitutional impossibility.
1t would be in direct conflict with every
principle of American law and Justice,
from the Declaration of Independence to
the present day. That idea of enforced
consolidation may be dismissed as be-
ing utterly absurd.
Los Angeles neither expects nor de-
sires any consolidation that would not
be mutually beneficial. In consolida-
tions heretofore effected the outsiders
begged for jointure. The lions share of
benefits invariably went to the districts
finall.- brought within the fold as seen
in the enormous advance of real estate
values and the great increase in popu-
lation.
Such federation as is contemplated
in Pasadena might be productive of ex-
cellent results in a general way par
ticularly in respect to Legislation affect
ing Southern California. AS remarked
before, however, The Herald gives no
credence to the idea that the movement
has any such incentive as a quixotic
attack on the imaginary purpose of
Los Angeles to force consolidation

The Prehlstorlc Novel

The Prehistoric Novel
| (Jack London's new novel is called
Before m."-News Note)
We have had historic novels till we
cannot rest for them
Novels telling us of Washin gton and
Burr, whom they condemn.
They have written bout the generals,
the privates and the lords,
The king and fools and princesses; of
flntlocks and of swords,
Every man and every woman of the
days that are gone by
At their fancies and their foibles, the
sorihbles had try;
The field must be exhausted; have the
real ones been writ out2
Is all history been covered--no one left
to tell about?
Yes, 1t seems SO. Hail the novel now Of
prehistoric daysl
OF the world before creation; tales of
Adams early ways;
OF the dinosaurs and mammoths, of the
mastodons and such
(Yes, the names are hard, but try. dear;
at the sound just make clutchD
What field of fertile research this new
region opens up;
We can speculate upon their style of
eating frigzled pup;
Fashions of the fig leaf garments and
Of fur-lined overcoats.
Guesses at their sort of houses and of
how they sold their yotesl
Thrilling tales of hunting monsters
whose weird bones we gaze upon;
Fiery stories of their warfare, when
spear head weighed toni
Love and wooing must have fascinated
even in those days;
What food OF light our stories will
let in upon their ways!
Hail tho prehistoric novel; put all
others on the shelf
Every scribbler In its writing is a law
unto himself!
Hail the prehistoric novel; last infiic-
ton we must bear;
For new school OF fool writer's let
each reader now prepare,

COLD CREAM INSTEAD OF WATER

Remember that the face should never
be washed just before or after going
out into blazing sun; instead, smear

for ten minutes and then wipe it off
with piece of soft old handkerchief.
If carefully wiped off and the skin
is then busted with oatmeal, there will
be no suggestion of greasiness about
the countenancen. Repeat the treat

be none of the burning. heated feel

Bathing the face at night with hot
milk will also help to keep the skin

A Beautiful Border Plant.

Iris punila, commonly known as
Dwarf Flag, is very hardy and hand
some border plant. In the Southern
States it has naturalized itself, and
while not exactly having escaped
culture, yet lives on, independent Of
care in many old gardens. Where
homesteads have gone to decay and
gardens run wild, year after year, the
Dwarf Flag is one Of the earliest and
brightest heralds of spring.
The color Of the Dwarf Flag is roy
al purple, the texture velvety, and the
bloom in form an exact miniature Of the
large Fleur-d e-Lis The whitish-green
knife-blade foliage is strictly evergreen,
often seen piercing the snow The
height is about five inches. Early in
spring, it blooms with the Crocus, and
blooms profusely. The contrast be-
tween the rich royal purple flowers
and the pale green foliage is charming.
After several weeks the bloom-time for
the year is over. Then the brist1ing
leaves in countless numbers stand
guard, bravely, up and down and
around every bed or walk that has a
border. Draught has no effect upon
it,
Iris pumila needs no culture, after
the tubers are once in place, several
inches below the soil The plants grow
like magic, but the rootstock is SO free
and hardy that the tendency is to i'm
poverish the soil. Top dressing, once
a year, with rich soil, will generally be
all these border plants require
Plant the tubers in spring or fall.
Either season obtains good results.

California Plant Notes.

Again we find that these notes, in the
Florists Exchange, contain items
which will interest our Florida dover
lovers.
Phaseo1us is the botanical name Of
the bean family. Possibly this Snail
vine would be hardy here, if not the
roots might be saved by covering with
earth in the fall, or they could be taken
up and Wintered in tub.
Wits is the name of the grape family.
The species named is a curious one,
the writer does not mention one pc
cul1arity, that is the branches bear at
their ends cylindrical or club shaped
tubers which drop off and reproduce
the vine. The writer calls it Wits
gongylodes, but the Cyclopedia of
American Horticulture gives the name
as V. pterophora.
Many Of you are familiar with
plant commonly known as Cocco1oba
platyclada, but which is now called
Muehlenbeckia platyclados, this plant
with its curious stems is a near relative
OF the Muchlenbeckia complexa men

no doubt, be desirable addition to

cause the plant should be much more
commonly grown than it is. We cult
waited the yellow lowered species at
our old home in Indiana for years,
later we saw the white lowered variety
growing wild on the plains of Western
Nebraska, acres of them. Since COM
ing South we have seen it growing
along the streets in Jacksonville, show
ing that it had become naturalized.
The description hardly does justice to
the beauty Of the plant, and its flowers.
A hardy annual of rather coarse but
chaste beauty, is Argemone grandi-
fora Seeds may be soWn in late
autumn or early spring, and in either
case the little seedlings will appear in
due time, grow vigorously, and begin
to bloom early in summer, continuing
in bloom for some time. The plants
grow from two to three feet high, are
clothed with stiff, graceful, spiny
foliage showing more or less varie-
cation, and branch freely At the tip
of each branch is a snowy, pure white,
Poppy-like flower four inches in diam
meter, with a prominent pistil sur
rounded by maze of pretty stamens
at the centre.
It is native Of Mexico, and is some
times called the Mexican Prick1y Pop
Ply. It is disliked by some on account
Of it's spiny foliage, but for a low
summer hedge, for which the plants
are we'll adapted this is not an objec-
t1onable feature. Some who have used
the cut blooming branches for decor
ative purposes recommend it for cut
ting. There is yellow-howered sort
known as Argemone Mexicana, and
this is regarded by botanists as the
species, OF which the larger-fowered
white ArgemOne is a variety These
plants are not always satisfactory, be-
cause improperly used When their
qualities are known and adapted they
afford as much pleasure as the more
delicate and refined ANIMALS, and occu-
Ply place that could not be satisfac-
torily filled by Others
