Mt. Wilson's summit soon in his air.
ship and is telling his friends at the
hotel to continue on the lookout for
him.
This latter day "sky pilot" has really
taken fancy to this one mountain top
and has already made several trips to
the summit surveying the lay of the
land and figuring just where his ship
can most safely land there when the
time comes. The weather at the peak
today was delightful and the hotel was
comfortably filled. Manager and Mrs.

tives in Los Angeles Among the

Recall Canvass Begins
Early tomorrow the valiant vanguard
OF the recall army will begin it's attack
upon the electors of the Crown city
and from that time forward the pyro-
technics are expected to fly as never
before in the history of the city. Six
prominent men, whose names will not
a oh
lected because of their eminent fair
ness and personal popularity to open
the canvass and they will secure the
first signatures to the petitions which
ARE expected to relegate Mayor William
! WaterhouSe and Councilman G. j.
randall to the ranks of private citi-
zNnship. In exact figures it will take
64 signatures on the one petition to
bring about the recall Of the mayor
and 563 signatures OH the other petit
ton to effect the recall of the council
man. Friends of the recall insist that
1t will -t1he but q few days to conf
plete these petitions and there will be
no delay in certifying them to the
counch-for immediate action. The fact
that the city council is expected to do
something at its meeting Tuesday to
stem the tide of opposition and to con-
vince the people that the leaders fears
of defilnte action against municipal
OWNERSHIP are unfounded will not pre-
mt or Nfeiay the circulation of the re-
cali pc itions.
y Shakespeare Club
The personally conducted afternoon
trips into foreign countries and cities,
which this year form a very interest
ing part of the years work and pleas
ure of the Shakespeare club have been
especially attractive the past two weeks
when northern Africa has been the
region visited. While last Saturday
the three Barbary states We're studied,
yesterday afternoon, Fascinating and
beautiful Egypt was described in a
charming fashion by Mrs. Philip G.
Hubert OF Los Angeles, who told of
her own travels in the quaint, historical
land, so filled with strange and un-
usual experiences and pleasures. The
talk was illustrated by many rare and
beautiful curios purchased in Cairo and
Alexandria. Mrs. Squires of Monrovla
and Mrs. Samuel Merrill sang selections
OF zeal oriental character, taken from
Aida; the former giving 1.-The Nile"
and the latter "Allah" and "The La
ment." Both were gowned in oriental
fashion, with glittering metal head or
namentS, the long chains hanging each
side of the face. The softly flowing
robes with brilliant scarfs, the bare
arms with many bracelets and the long
braids of dusky hair added to the
effect of the unique music. Mrs. Laurel
Chase gave a piano solo, "Polonaise"
(Chopin).
Next Saturday afternoon was to have
been Shakespeare meeting, with the
program in charge of the Galpin Shakes
peare club of Los Angeles, the late
Mrs. Kate Upper Galpin to have given
the address of the attractive program.
Her death has necessarily changed the
plans, and an informal reception will
be given for club members only, with
music and a short continuation of the
travel talks for program. Mrs. H. G.
Bennett, recently returned from an
extended trip abroad, will speak OF the
attractions of Greece
Thte parliamentary drills given by
hrs. A. S. Benjamin of the National
w. c. Il. u. were so helpful that the
club voted to continue the course by
three more double time lectures, the
first to be on Friday afternoon at
o'clock. These afternoon lessons will
take the form of practical work in par
Jiamentary usage.
y The Jerome *. Jerome and Battell
ltoomis humorous com bination sched-
uled for the evening of January 30 is
attracting considerable attention, Since
it is the only appearance of the two
noted men here.

arranged for March / and 2. Women's
work of all kinds will be shown.
