RETIRED GROCER VANISHES
Clarence Newman Telephones From
Beach, Then Disappears,
Five Days Auo

The police have been asked to assist
in finding Clarence D. Newman, re-
tired grocer of middle age. Nothing
has been heard of him by his wife and
friends since last Saturday.
Newman had owned a grocery at 3O2
North Hoover street, but sold it ten
days ago to Thomas RingroSe.
Last Saturday he came to the city
and later telephoned his wife that he
would not return to his home, 3421
Johns street, until late. A few hours
after the first message his wife received
a second, stating that he was at the
beach and would remain there for the
night.
When he left home he carried about
s25 or $50 and wore a suit of gray. His
wife says she is wholly una BILE to ac-
count for his disa ppearance.
The police have issued circulars de-
scribing the man.

WILL STUDY STEEL WORK
Young Mems Christian Association
Adds Special Feature to
NiQht School

The local Y. NJ. C, A, following its
lead in adding special features to the
educa tional course, will add feature
that will be of special benefit to Los
Angeles men in the new department of
structural steel construction, which will
be opened October under the direction
of George w. Harding, prominent
stru ctural steel contractor.
With the advent of the new process
in steel for construction a large portion
of the new buildings are being erected
with it, There is consequently a large
dem and for workers in this line and
few men to fill the positions, as there
is no Institution in California with a
course in steel construction.
L. b. Austin, head of the educational
department, considers the new Depart
ment of the association one of the
strongest and one that will prove of the
greatest interest to men who work in
the construction of buildings.

ASK ONLY THAT
CITY TAKE PARK
NO STRINGS TIED TO TRACT
rendered FREE
Workman and Associates Expect Ul-
innate Improvement, However.
Mayor Favors Acceptance Of
Nine Acre Gift

The park commission will meet this
morning to take action on the land
offered by City Treasurer w. H. Work.
man and Others for city park.
The offer of a nine-acre tract of land
bounded by Stephenson avenue. Vista
drive, Fresno and Venice streets was
made to the park commission at its
meeting yesterday. All that Mr. Work
man and his confreres ask is that the
commissioners accept this land as a
free gift and improve 1t when they
have the money.
They do not insist that it be done
this year, realizing that the park de-
partment was cut very close by the
finance committee in the annual budget,
but simply require that 1t be done at
the pleasure and convenience of the
park commission.
Believing that the ground should be
accepted before any action was taken,
the commission adjourned to meet this
morning, and yesterday afternoon went
to the proposed park and looked 1t over.
Mr.. Workman considers this land
worth at least SIS, 900 in it's present con-
dition without Improvements.
When making his tender to the COM
mission he recalled the days of long
ago when an auctioneer attempted to
sell the land which Is now Westlake
park a SIS an acre and was unable to
do so. He declared that the land he
offered the commission would soon be
worth as much as Is now Westlake
park, and the city would profit by the
enhancement of real estate values
Mayor McAleer expressed himself in
favor of accepting the land. He wants
all the parks possible for the city to get
and believes this property could be i'm
proved and made one of the most beau
tiful parks. Landscape gardeners have
declared it is admirably situated for
sunken gardens and similar horticul-
tural displays.
The commission has also under con-
sideration the acceptance of Andrews
boulevard from Sunset park to First
street.
Andrews boulevard is being laid out
for a high class residence district, in
which the building restrictions are from
$4,000 to $4,000, and 1t is proposed to
make Andrews boulevard street OF
gardens.
The commission looked at this also
yesterday and will act this morning.

The speaker was a bright-eyed little

face and big brown eyes. She was lost
in a big city, trudging bravely along
Spring street asking the passing crowd
if they could tell her where her papa
and mamma were. officer Klein heard
her childish questions and went to her
assistance
Are you lost, little girl ?" he asked.
Yes" the child answered eagerly,
"and Dolie is so frightened. If L do
not take her home at once, l am afraid
she will be i'll. There, there! Don't
cry, Dollle We will find papa and
mamma SOON" Like a tender mother
she caressed her doll, as it lay in a
box under her arm, dressed in dainty
colored fabrics. But not brave enough
to hold back the tears, the little doll
mother covered her eyes with a delicate
bit of linen, and sobbed out her tale to
the friendly officer who stood by her
side.
Papa and mamma brought me to the
city with them today. When we had
ridden into town from the depot, papa
sent me from the street car to buy a
paper from a newsboy who stood near.
But the car started before l could get
back on"
The little girl said her name was Clio
retta Dunn, and her father j. R. Dunn
of Coronado beach, captain of the boat
house there.
Glorletta says her parents had en-
gagged rooms at a Mrs. Kerr's but she
does not know the address or the ini-
tials of the rooming house keeper.
She was taken to the detention home,
to remain until some trace of her
parents could be discovered.

HAS UNDERSTANDING WITH HILL
Canadian Northern Actively Pushing
Toward Duluth

Advices from Port Arthur, Canada,
state that the Canadian Northern rail-
way is actively laying plans to build
an extension from the Canadian head
of Lake Superior to Duluth. 1t is un-
derstood that the Minnesota counties
through which the new road will run
are Cook and Lake. 1t will enter
American territory at Gunflint, Cook
county.
James j. Hills interests in Canada
are closely connected with the Canadian
Northern, but it is not clear just what
the president of the Great Northern
has in view in conjunction with this
new enterprise.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
his Canadian allies are acting without
a thorough understanding with him.

ItTakes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
"For eighteen years DR.. Miles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been

CANNOT GET THE STEEL CARS
Postal Clerks Want Mills to Hurry
Their Deliveries

The railway postal clerks. at their
national convention in Chicago, on Oc-
tober 3, will probably adopt resolutions
asking the government to cause strong
er cars-steel ones preferred-to be pro-
vided for the mail service.
The various divisions of the order
have indicated that they favor such
a move.
On some roads mail cars with steel
platforms have been provided. Expert
ence has proved that they are much less
likely to telescope in case of accident
than the old type of car.
The present difficulty in the way of
the extensive adoption of steel in car
building, railway men say, is that it
is practically impossible for the mills
to fill the orders for steel which they
now have.

The owl car service given to Los

proven a blessing to hundreds so far.
Since the first night patronage on the
late cars has increased, In fact dou-

foreshadowing a profitable patronage
as the service becomes generally known
and the new conditions are met.
That cars leave the center of the city
at and 2 O'Clock each morning now Is

from the fact that the cars also OF ne
