BUGLARS STEAL
WEDDING GIFTS
Break Into Home Of Assistant secre-
tary of Country Club and Make
Rich Haul of Cut
Glass

One thousand dollars worth Of jew
elry, cut glass and silver rewarded the
work of burglars who broke into and
robbed the residence of George II.
Chase, assistant secretary of the Coun-
try club 1918 Westlake avenue, last
Wednesday night.
Mr.. Chase had been visiting friends
in the country since Wednesday morn
ing. His family is visiting friends in
New York. Yesterday when he re-
turned home he found that thieves had
broken into his home during his alb
sence and turned things topsy-turvy.
1t is thought by the police that the
work was that of two professional
burglars who knew the family was not
at home.
Wednesday night private watchman
saw a light in the house. He had not
been informed that Mr.. Chase had left
the city, so did not investigate. The
majority of the things stolen were we'd
ding presents, gifts to Mr.. and Mrs.
Chase at the time of their marriage.

lowed for preparation is ample, but ex-
perience in the great expositions at
Paris, Chicago and st. Louis shows the
wisdom Of such provision. 1t must be
remembered at the outset that in the
Los Angeles Of 1915 we shall hardly
recognize our present city Of a quarter
million population. At the present ra-
ito of increase Los Angeles will have
three-fourths of a million Of inhabi-
tants in 1915, with reasonable prob
ability that the figure may be nearer
a round million.
In every important undertaking an
early and energetic start is highly i'm
portant. The chamber Of commerce
and other representative organizations
are expected to lead, and the commun-
lty will follow, to a man, woman and
child, in the work Of making the Los
Angeles exposition eclipse all other
efforts of the kind that the world has
ever witnessed. ,..

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

| The season of Christmas gifts is al
hand. The shops are crowded with
tempting offerings for young and DID,
and their aisles are thronged with eager
purchasers. 1t is the harvest season
for the merchants and they are all
smiles The tired clerks work rapidly
all day, helping buyers make selections,
and there are rush and hustle and
activity everywhere.
There will be two weeks of this yet,
ere Christmas comes, and every day
will be more trying than the one pre-
ceding it. Perhaps it would be well,
then, to offer few suggestions which
may be of use to buyers and clerks
alike in making the Christmas rush cas-
ier all around.
| 1t viii be a great help, for one thing
| If purchasers will begin buying at
once, and not defer selections till the
last few days. Make out a list of per-
sons to whom gifts are to be sent, with
the things contemplated for each. Fix
q price limit, If necessary. Then watch
the advertisements, and select as far as
possible before going into the store.
Seek the proper counter, inspect the
display, select as quickly as may be,
and do not haggle over price, quality or
style. II you see what you desire, get
it; If not, leave, making room for some
one else. As far as possible, carry
small parcels with you; ii saves you
more trouble and delay than it does
the delivery department. Go down in
the forenoon when you can; leave be-
fore the homeward bound rush of work.
ers. Be kind, courteous and prompt
with clerks and cashiers. Keep your
temper, above all else.
| With shops full of clerks, many of
them new and temporary, the Christ
mas rush becomes a bugbear to mer-
evils greatly if they will be courteous
obliging, attentive and quick. Dispense
with the chewing gum habit, at least
for the time, IL not forever. Be eager
to wait on customers, showing a desire
to learn their wishes and to accommo-
date them. Answer questions respect
fully and lay off that accustomed air of
hauteur and Indifference. Remember
that you are the one person about the
establishment with whom customers
come in contact; you can make or mar
the biggest merchant in town. Admit
that & rush is on, and do all you can to
expedite it. Help don't hinder.
Possibly, with customer and clerk
remembering few of these things, and
with their mutual good will and help
the rush will pass this year with less
hardship than ever before.

A COMPLETE SURPRISE

P. P. Johnson, president of the Ma
tional Trotting association, said at the
annual meeting in New York:
"The taking Of trotters continues. My
friend T. E. Dempsey tells me that in
the summer he saw a mare that had
been bleached-bleached like blonde
woman.
"All sorts of fakes are adopted by
crooks in order to disguise trotter
with a good record. Then the trotter,
believed to be a beginner, gets enor-
nous odds, and when she wins-what a
surprise"
Mr.. Johnson lighted a cigar.
ut is an unpleasant, an unexpected
surprise" he said. 'It is like sur
prise a friend of mine met with on a
train in West Virginia.
"As the train traversed Wise county
my friend, entranced with the scenery
stuck his head out of the window.

said:
"'Keep your head inside. can't you?'
"'What for?' asked my friend.

BOYS STEAL FoR CRIMINALS
Police Believe Lads Were Instructed
to Purloin Barrel of Valuable
Cut Glass

Whether old criminals are using boys
to steal for them is question which
Is troubling the police. Several of the
robberies committed recently have ap-
parently been the work of boys, and
yet it is evident the work was directed
by some older head.
Martin Welch, 691 Glover streets Jes-
sic Daniels, a negro, 707 Lamar street,
Harry Schulz, now in the detention
home, Fred Collie, 636 Gibbons street,
Frank de Mott and Frank Haigne,
ranging in years from to IL, were ar
rested Friday afternoon and are
thought to know considerable about
several of the recent robberies. Some
of them are said to be among the boys
who robbed the store of G. p. Han
ley on Redondo and Railroad avenues
and carried away great deal of val
liable cut glass.
Several of these boys have been ar
rested before. 1t is thought they were
sent into the store by men who knew
of the valuable cut glass there and
with instructions to get it.
