SAN DIEGO
Former Head of Army VIII Welcome
Present Head Of Navy When

fornla

The committee on entertainment oil
officers met at the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association yesterday after
noon. General Adna r. Ohaftee pre-
sided, and there were present j. II. Zee
handelaar, f. A. Nc regor, Lieutenant
L. W. w Nooster, Eugene German, Colo
mel j. 3. Neville, Joseph Scott, General
Robert Wankowski and Commander e.
=. Lewis.
Mr.. Scott urged upon the committee
that, as the banquet will provide for
the entertainment of sixty naval OF
flcers and the ball for $50 additional Of
ficers, this will still leave about 200 Of
ficers receiving no attention. He urged
that. lnasmuch as every solitary sailor
IS provided with the opportunity for
entertainment b. Postmaster Flint's
committee, every single officer should
be given some attention If Los Angeles
is to make it's entertainment compre-
hcnsive.
After discussion it was decided to
arrange entertainment for these 200
officers, the feature of which probably
will be an automobile excursion cx-
tending from the beach to the city and
out through Alhambra, with luncheon
at Pasadena and views of Hollywood
end the soldiers home on the return
trip.
| Angeles will be given an exceptional
opportunity of viewing this great body
OF naval officers by having the automo-
| hlles traverse q certain route through
the streets of Los Angeles which will
g announced in advance. 1t was sug-
gested that residents of Los Angeles
who own automobiles might be en-
| listed for this trip, each owner him-
self plotting a half dozen officers In his
machine When doubt was expressed
bout securing sufficient automobiles
General Wankowski promptly volun>
teered to secure four and Colonel New
| lille three machines. This automobile
parade and excursion will occur on the
last or fourth day of the fleets stay.
Joseph Scott moved that commit
tee selected from the committee on en-
tertainment of officers go to San Diego
\ and personally deliver the invitations
20 the banquet and bail to Admiral
Evans and his officers, aiming TO Sc
cure positive replies from each invited
c:ficer.
This resulted in assuring that Adna
X. Chaffee. lieutenant general, holding
highest rank in the United states
army, will personally greet his friend,
Rear Admiral Evans, on behalf oil Los
Angeles.
General Chaffee was made chairman
cf this special committee to go to san
Diego and present the invitations, Eu-
gene Germain assuming the chairman
ship and putting a motion that TINS
special committee include also Colonei

Evans; Lieutenant Randolph ii. Miner,

The Story Of the "Chicago Jewel" Gas Range

Twenty seven years ago the first
"Chicago jewel Gas Range was man
ufactured Since that time it has
saved housekeepers the world over
more hours of drudgery than any other
article of kitchen equipment.
Until the introduction of the Chi
cago Jewel Gas Range the use of gas
fuel was limited on account of its eX-
orbitant cost. But the Chicago Jewer'
with it's improved features has demon
strated that gas is the cheapest kind
of cooking fuel.
The perfected Chicago Jewel
Range of today is the result OK

added one by one until the Chicago M

apex of perfection. M

by shooting a few quails and squirrels, which
| found near the camp.
about noon, snow began to fall again, and
the rising. wind whistled shriIly through the
barren hills. As the hours went by the storm
increased in severity, and by the middle OF the
afternoon perfect gale was blowing, and the
snow was falling in binding clouds
"As the evening advanced, and the storm
showed nc signs of abating, | began to fear
that my father and Bentley would be unable
to find their way back to camp, unless they
should do so before dark.
"Seeing that heavy fall of snow was in
eyitabe, | gathered large pile. of fuel, an and
placed it near at hand, ready for use. The
weather was now growing colder at every
breath of the snow-laden wind, and found
it necessary to remain close to the fire to pre-
vent being chilled by the icy blast.
Our bedding, which lay on a pile OF dead
leaves, beneath the thick branches of the
pines, was fast being covered with snow, and
| looked about for more sheltered spot.
"a few yards from our camp was high

Of small bushes Pushing through the brush

of finding, if possible, place for our beds
that was protected by overhanging rocks,
and | presently discovered large opening;
On examination, / found that it extended
back some twenty feet, affording an excellent
sleeping apartment, protected as it was from
the fury of the storm
"The floor of the little cavern was, thickly
been swept in by the wind from the outside,
and on this | soon had our blankets and
robes deposited, feeling thankful that / had
cold and snow. Then cutting the brush
down in front of the cave, l kindled fire
few yards from its mouth.
"By this time darkness had set in, but still
my father and Bentley had not returned. /
now began to have the grayest fears that they
would lose their way in the binding snow
and fail to reach the camp that night
However knowing that my father, as well
as Bentley was skilled in woodcraft, had
little fears for their ultimate safety.
"But the idea of being compelled to pass
the night in the gloomy canyon alone was
decidedly dispiriting.
Darkness came on quickly, and the moan
ing of the wind through the pines served to
of loneliness of my situation.
"Heaping an armful of pine boughs upon
threw myself upon the robes and blankets
to await the return of the two belated hun
ters.

into my retreat, and, in spite of the cold
and storm without, / felt as warm as if

II resolved to keep the fire burning all
night, SO that it might serve as a beacon to
the hunters. About an hour after nighttall
l replenished the fire, and again threw myself
upon the robes within the cavern.
For half-hour, perhaps, L lay there,
watching the thick, whirling snowiiakes lall-
ing between me and the fire, and listening TO
the roaring of the wind without. Then a
sense of drowsiness stole over me, and, be-
fore | was aware of it, l fell asleep
Il could, not have slept more than an hour
or two, when / suddenly awoke and sat bolt
upright upon bed. What it was that had
awakened me | could not tell The fire had
burned down to pile of smoulderlng en-
bers, leaving me in utter darkness.
81 was about to rise with the intention
OF replenlshing the fire, when | heard a sound
close at my side, something like the purring
Of the common house cat, but louder and
deeper.
ut was some wild animal, / felt sure, and
a feeling of terror took possession of me-.
For one brief moment | sat there, incapable
of action; then. recovering from the stupor
of terror, l reached for my gun, which had
laid at my side.
This movement brought an angry growl
from the darkness that sent a chill of horror
to my heart. just then stick on the edge
Of the smouldering fire was famed into a
blaze by the wind, and, turning quickly, |
saw two burning eyes fixed upon me- and
caught sight of shadowy form moving to-
ward me from the dark recesses of the cav
ern.
ut only required moments thought for
me to recognize the terrible foe: it was the
Rocky Mountain lion. one of the most fero-
cious and dreaded of all the animals of Colo
rado. In an instant / had leaped to my feet,
gun in hand, and was about to fire at the adj
vancing beast, when | made most startling
discovery. On the blankets, revealed by the
fickering light Of the campfire, saw the
forms of three other, mountain lions, young
ones, and evidently the whelps of the first I
had seen.
Scarcely had l made this discovery when
the blaze on the outside went out, and /
was left in total darkness simultaneously |
raised my rifle and fired at the advancing
lion.
"a fierce, angry growl followed the report,
gun, heavy body struck me, and I
went down as if | had been blade of grass.
l felt the sharp, knife-like claws and teeth of
the ferocious animal sink deeply into my
flesh as I reeled backward, then my head
struck violently against some hard substance
and my senses left me.
when consciousness returned, I felt my,
self being dragged along the rocky floor of
the cavern, while the hot breath of the lion
touched my face. | could feel the brute's

whimper, as l was half carried and half
dragged back into the cavern, where the
fierce creature released her hold upon me and
sank back upon the rocks.
Then her paws were placed upon my breast,

anything. l felt that she was eyeing me close

weak and wounded condition, it was useless
for, me to attempt to escape, yet | was deter
mined to make some effort to save my life.
My gun was beyond my reach and | had
no weapon about me save a small jack-knite,
and to attempt to draw it from my pocket
might provoke another attack from the lion
Realizing this, | lay perfectly still, debating
as to what course Of action | should pursue.
"The great cat kept her position, with
paws upon my, breast, while her cubs frolick-
ed about, me like young kittens at play;
But the moment ] moved my hand, the
lion quickly dropped her head and sank her
teeth into the flesh of nv arm.
ut was all | could do to suppress the
scream that rose to my lips, and l almost
swooned with pain and terror.
every vestige of hope now left me, and
lying there, wounded, weak and helpless,
felt that my hours on earth were few.
"The strain on my nerves was rapidly be-
coming unbearable, and | resolved to slip
my knife from my pocket and make a des-
perate struggle for my life.
''But at that instant my eyes wandered to
the mouth of the cavern, and, in the dull
glow of the smouldering fire, / caught sight
Of moving form My. heart almost leapedd to
my throat as l recognized the shaggy coat Of
joke and knew that help was near at hand.
'.lhe next moment | heard my fathers
voice, shouting my name at the mouth of
the cavern; then, with short, quick bark,
joke bounded forward and in an instant was
engaged in a deadly combat with the lion.
81 felt the great cat release her hold upon
me as she turned to meet the new foe then
overstrained nature gave way, and again l
lost consciousness.
"When | regained my senses it was broad
daylight, and was lying on the robes, near
the entrance of the cavern. My father and
Mr. Bentley were sitting oy my side, and not
far off lay the bodies Of the honess and her
three cubs.
GAS soon as my strength would permit me
to speak, ] asked for Joko, and learned that
he had been almost killed in the fight, and
was now lying on some blankets in the cav
ern, so badly used up that he could hardly
move.
"He had succeeded in saving my life, but
would have lost his own had not the two men
dispatched his antagonist.
