HUNDREDS TO GO NORTH
TO STUDY BEET SUGAR

Officials of the Security Land and

corporation are making final arrange
ments for the business mems excursion
to Tulare, Kings and Kern counties, to
note the improvements in and around
Corcoran. the sugar city at the head of
Lake Tulare.
Sunday night at least 200 merchants,
bust men and investors of Los An

Joaquin valley, taking in the thriving
towns of Visalia, Bakersfield and Cor
coran via Barstow.
Mayor Harper will officiate at the
corner stone laying Monday of the mil
lion dollar reinforced concrete sugar
factory at Corcoran, in connection with
which brief addresses will be delivered
by the visiting speakers.
1t is probable that because of lack of
time invitations generously extended
by the cities en- route will have to be
declined
The process of sugar making at the
Visalia factory of the Pacific company
will be noted by the delegation and
efforts will be made to impress on the
jewellers in that favored land that Los
Angeles is it's natural trade territory,
as Los Angeles capital is leading in the
development work there.

A Chat on FaII Fabrics

There are strong indications that the
tailor materials for fall wear will this
season make their appearance unusually
early and in great variety. One of the
most striking features is the reappear-
ance of the rough finish in serges,
boucles, etc.
The range of colors comprises all the
rich, warm tones the dyers art can
create. Casters and olives furnish the
neutral tints, and black promises to come
into favor, says the Delineator for Sep
TENDER.
special feature marked In the new
fabrics is the prevalence of stripes. These
appear not only in the utilitarian ma
terials but also In the dressier grades.
They present many wholly new effects,
both in the diversity the stripping offers
and also in the results secured by COM
bining different weaves. A pleasing nov
city Is plain cloth crossed at regular in
teryals with half-inch stripe OF herring
bone weave, usually of some CONTRASTING
tone Another successful combination OF
two weayes is plain cloth, or else a
coarse-twill serge, having a stripe OF
boucle of the same shade, or showing bits
of bright color.
Serge is always good. and this year II
appears in many different weaves.
Braiding as trimming is one of the sea
sons strongest features. In gowns fpr
semi-dress, the taiIors show remarkable
ingenuity in the manipulation of the ma
tertai TO secure original stripe effects.
They are aided, 1t Is true, by the fabrics

BETTING ON GOLF HAS
NO PROFESSIONAL SPIRIT
ENGLISH CRITIC TELLS OF TRUE
CONDITIONS
Says That Bookmakers Would Fail
Should They Endeavor to Lay
Bets on Matches Among
Golfers

In view of the pools recently sold at
the United States amateur championship
in Cleveland, the following from an
article entitled Betting at Golf" by III.
H. Hilton, the English crack, will be
found interesting as showing the situa-
ton on the other side. He says
There is a good deal being made just
now of betting in golf but personally
think anything written on this subject is
wide of the mark. Any little gambling
that does go on is absolutely within the
limits of the pockets of those who en-
gage in 1t.
DThe professionals dearly love to have
a sovereign or two on when the cham
pionship is in progress. And can you
blame them? These fellows are tied up
all the year round in some quiet little
spot, and when they gather at the cham
pionship it is their one carnival of the
year. They are all hail fellows well met
at such a time. In their pockets they
have the subscription of members of the
clubs who wished them to go to the
championship and represent the club.
They all have something on, whether
it is a sovereign or five sovereigns, and 1t
does not do anybody harm. They don't
all bet, but they are thorough sportsmen,
and who would cavil at any little sport
they have? Regarding amateurs Is quite
different matter. They all have money
lat least, / think they have-and any
little wagering they may do is their own
affair.
1.-THE Englishman will have his bet
wherever he is; and / for one will be the
last to put up any grandmotherly legis-
lation or hypocritcal talk that a few
sovereigns on the result Of champion
ship is aiming a death-blow at all that
is good in golf.
There is never any chance of book
maker coming to our golf meetings. 1
believe bookmakers have tried to open
up business in connection with the golf
championships. but they were never sue
cessful.
II remember on one occasion at Prest-
wick a bookmaker laid the odds, and he
was glad to show clean pair of heels
to Glasgow; while on another occasion,
at Carnoustie, bookmalker stood at the
first tee shouting the odds.
HE never booked a bet. and the de-
risiye laughter of the crowd soon drove
him off. Golf will never bring the book
maker to the links. Golfers are sports
men. and any wagering is done among
their little coteries."

For Twenty Years the Veteran Chest
nut SorreI Has Hauled Heads
of Los Angeles Depart Q
ment to Fires

Searchlight, Fire Chief Walter Lips
veteran horse, was chloroformed yesterday
and painlessly put out of existence.
Searchlight has for twenty years pulled
the buggies of the fire chiefs to con-
flagrations in Los Angeles, a record which
few horses attain in the fire departments
of the country.
The chestnut-sorrel horse was. known
by sight to people all over the world,
yet few knew that he had reached the
quarter-centuR milestone in age.
1t has often been said of Searchlight
that he knew every downtown alarm by

OF late he had been confined in box
stall at the Hill-street station.
With heavy heart Chief Lips concluded
to end his suffering after the veterinary

COLLINS WILL KEEP JOB
AS GUIDE IN CITY HALL

Tom Collins will continue to serve as
guide at the city hall indefinitely as the
civil service authorities have decided that
no further examination can be called for
the place, Collins having been the only
applicant at the last examination. He
holds the emergency appointment on a
monthly renewal basis.
Because of his blindness he could not
legally be examined, yet no one will come
forward to oppose a blind veteran.
Most of the city officials want to see
Tom taken care of in some way by the
city and the commissioners decided to
act gently. as ...ere will probably be no
