iday crowds in the big cities.
There will be five holidays during
which this pooling agreement will be in
effect. these being the queens birthday,
Nav "a. the Canadian national holiday

BRITISH IDEA
Suggests William Penn, Sir Walter

LONDON, Sept. 22.-"I have never seen
anything more educative or more in keep

Saxon people"
1t was Nine. Nordica who spoke in these
enthusiastic terms of the st. Alban y
pageant The prima donna was staying
at Claridge's hotel, but had spent most OF
her time in the old world town OF st.
Albans, where Queen Elizabeth and Boa
dicea and various ancient Britons mas
querade daily.
Mime. Nordica Is enthusiastic about the
pageant idea and intends to carry 1t out
at her institute on the Harlem rlvec,
when her great scheme materialzes."
'I am sure" she said, I'VE can arrange
a. pageant in America just as we'll as they
can here We are just as interested in
William Rufus and Henry VIII and
Queen Elizabeth and oliver Cromwell as
English people are, and l do not see why
England should monopolize them. Bu-
there Is no reason why we in America
should slavishly copy the English page
ants Their historical figures are also
ours in a sense, but we have famous ana
interesting figures that are all our own.

shall have Indians and settlers exactly as
they appeared 800 years ago. Aren't Wiz

John Smith and Pocahontas all our owni
And aren't they historical figures that
appeal to the imagination of us all? we
don't need to take all our history from
England. We can take the best that is
common to the Anglo-Saxon race.
II believe that pageants such as l have
seen at ST. Alban's would be an even
greater success in America than In Eng
land. We haven't, of course, the medi-
aeval setting of st. Adams with its hoary
old abbey and Elizabethan houses, but VIC
can do excellently with the material we
have"
A large number of people here are en-
thusiastic about Nine. Nordica's insti-

assistance in every way she can.

FOR YANKEES
VALUES FALL WHEN AMERICANS
LEAVE LONDON
TAILORS AND HABERDASHERs
"sTIcK" TOURISTS
Day Is Past When Man Can DeIuds
Himself Into Believing That
He Saves by Buying
Abroad

LONDON, Sept 22-With the exodus of
American tourists from London prices IN
the various stores that cater TO tnelr
wants are beginning to fall. 1t may not
be generally known. but it is neverthe-
f1ess fact that with the rush OF the
American visitors to the British metrop-
oils prices are watered to an extent that
would make an up-to-date American trust
magnate blush, and with their departure
the bottom drops out, so to speak, and
the price marks once more assume a
normal face.
There was time, not many years ago,
when the average American could come
to London and fool himself into believing
that he was saving the cpst of his passage
on his purchases. Three or four SUITS,
dozen pairs of gloves and a dozen neck
ties were packed away in trunk marked
mot wanted on voyage" and he was the
proud and happy possessor of wardrope
that he was sure could not be duplicated
for twice the money In his home land
But all that has been changed. There
was a time when good suit could be
obtained in London for sl5- Today durins
the American season, the same suit is
ticketed $50 and unblushingly offered 10
the easy" open handed American tourist.
Neckties which were formerly 80 cents
are now priced at 60 cents, and Kid gloves
although still cheaper than in the United
States alwayS advance so per cent during
the late summer, when the people from
the other side are here In full force
AS a matter of fact it Is an exceptional
English store that has fixed price on an
article. In the majority of cases the ques-
tion of price is left to the salesman. he
has minimum scale below which he Is
not allowed to go, but the nearer the SKY
he gets with his actual sale the petter ne
is liked by his employer. :.
Now these methods are rather raw
and the merchant who practiced them IN
the United States would starve for want
of customers. Americans are considered
easy by this class of merchants, ana they
are easy simply because they nave peen
used to the one price system and are not
on the lookout for extortionS or TINS Rlnu.
The American has himself to blame Ior
the fact that prices go up as soon as tne
napers announce that the rush for Eng
land has begun in the United States. In
na eft wears, and even today, the American
tourist, and especially the women folks,
find it impossible to make purchase =, "a

remark about its cheapness.

claims. intent upon impressing her ma
tionality upon the shopkeeper, VINO,

have had the natural effect upon the Eng
lish storekeeper and Americans act upon

About 400 people of nearly all national

park lake at 4 o'clock to witness pap
tismal ceremony by Rev. ]. Grimm, the
negro evangelist.
The baptism was the result of meetings
having been held in tent or Mateo
street near Ninth.
A small tent was pitched near the place
of the ceremony for the use OF the can
didates.

ful music. which was followed by more
enlivening strains,
REV Mr.. Griffin passed through the
crowd clad in white robes. Before step

dress.
Rev. Mr.. Griffin appeared priestly as
he was led out into the water py plaii'
clothes brother on either side. J..

people in boats.
Nv this time the surgng mass crowdeo

The first person who was washed ano
made white in the blood of the Lamb
was an enthusiastic negro woman at'

movements appeared to tax the strengtn

Following in the ceremony was tne
baptism of a negro boy, negro man. - .
white man and one Indian, making five
in all.
Before baptising the Indian and while

DISSATISFACTION LEADS
TO MASS MEETINGS. CALL
Attitude Of Santa Monica Council
Toward Wholesale Liquor Dealer
and Tax Rates Leads to Move
by Association
Special to The Herald.


SANTA MONICA, Sept. 22-Fostered by
the local business mems association ar
rangements are under way for the holding
of a mass meeting some evening preced-
ing the sewer bond election next Friday,
when the question of invoking the recall
against Objectionable members of the city
council, and perhaps Mayor Dudley, will
be considered.
The action comes as an indirect result
of the move of the board last Monday
evening in slicing 1920 per annum from
the business taxes of H. c. Aiken who
has a monopoly of the wholesale liquor
trade here. 1t is alleged that offers from
outside people to pay an increased reve-
nue. for the privilege Aiken enjoys have
been ignored by the council. Mayor Dud-
ley is said by the hackers of the move
ment to have been particularly active in
guarding Aiken's interests
Other matters that will be brought tc
the attention of the voters by those con-
Quoting the meeting will be the policy OF
administering the city's affairs that the
new governing body is pursuing and the
question of supporting the 100000 sewer
bond election in view of the fact that the
city is now heavily In debt.

"STANDARD OIL LEADERS
ARE ALL SHORT WEIGHT"
Declares Abe Ruef, If Honest, Could
Have Been the Foremost PoIlti-
cal Figure of Cali
fornia

Pastor Robert J. Burdette preached on
the topic "Short-Weight Men" at the
Tmple Baptist church yesterday. He said: !:
DThe fact that anything is weighed
uroves a standard of weight. And the
standard must be exact, just, unchange-
able When the merchant says 35A inches
make a yard the yardstick smites him in
the face. When he says 1850 pounds make
a ton the clang of the scales calls him
a liar A the man who gives short
weight or measure cannot appeal to the
standards of measure which he uses The
standards are kept by the government.
..In the British standards office is kept,
for instance, a piece of platinum that is
the standard for pound around the
world. The crown jewels are not more
carefully guarded The unit of the yard
IS measured between two parallel lines on
gold studs sunk in a plate of bronze, and
this distance is the standard when the
atmosphere is at the temperature of 81
degrees Fahrenheit. The error of a single
observation between two lengths in this
official department is one one hundred
thousandth of an inch, so delicately ac-
curate are the standards for measuring
materials.
"FIow much more perfect must be the
standard of soul? No wonder the short
weight men are detected when the Gre
ator weighs them in the balance. How
many men there are who come near to
being great. One-term governors; one
term congressman. A short-weight man
breaks his finger nails and bruises his
knuckles pulling and picking at the Cor
dian knot. Alexander says The problem
is to sever the neckyoke from the
tongue; smites the knot with his sword,
and the trick is done. Persia was con-
quered in that one blow.
