Attractive Bead Work.

Much is reproduced nowadays in bead work initiative of that done a century ago, when all such industries were considered accomplishments and the individual tastes of the belles of that day were shown in their hand iwork. Bead purses, reticules, bags of all descriptions and card cases were then made in them, the fashion now not only including these, but also belt buckles, in which either fruit or flower is set with a filigree framing of cut steel beads. Fans for all occasions are shown, those with wrought ivory sticks and pailletted gauge particular ly attractive. and in some the sticks are delicately inlaid with tracings of steel. Such a fan is useful with any evening costume, for there is no color to conflict with the shade of the frock, and the little spangles catch the light in a fascinating way.

WhoIesone Potatoes.

Potatoes cooked in their skins are much more wholesome and digesuble than those cooked without. They may be baked or steamed: in either case a hole should be made in them, that steam may escape in cooking, and thus prevent the skin from bursting. The most nourishing part of the pota- to is immediately under the skin, so that when we peel them we remove the best part.

Take a flat earthern or granite Ware dish and fill two inches thick with quartered tart apples (pared, of course), having three quarts of apple. Add one cup of sugar, one grated nut meg, cup of cold water, One-half tea spoon of salt and a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Cover this with a pie crust one inch thick and bake slowly 21a hours, then cover and place where it will keep hot one hour. Serve with sugar and cream. Do not break the crust into the apple or you will spoil the pastry. When cooked the apple will look red. If you wish it richer use puff paste, but you can make your pie crust as rich as you like.

Sweet oil is to be found in near lv every house, and half pint of it, taken immediately, is an effectual anti aote to Ilmost all poisons. Anybody with a strong constitution should take a larger quantity of this simple rem edy.

WHILE CHASING AUTO
COLLlDES WITH A MESSENGER
DURING EXCITING RIDE
Boy Is Thrown to Fender of Passing
Car Twenty Feet Away, but Es-
capes Without Serious
Injury

AS the result of a collision with an
unidentified messenger boy Motorcycle
Patrolman Humphreys was thrown
from his machine at Seventh and
Spring streets yesterday morning and
received injuries which will necessi-
tate his remaining in bed for several
days. Both officer and messenger had
narrow escapes from death.
Humphreys and Coe were chasing an
automobile that was going south on
Spring street at high rate of speed.
The officers were afraid to increase
their speed to that of the fugitive for
fear of an accident.
AS they approached Seventh street a
messenger boy crossed directly in
Humphreys path. They collided and
the messenger was thrown fully twenty
feet, landing on the fender of car
that was standing near. Humphreys
was thrown from his machine and was
unable to rise. The boy was uninjured.
He saw his machine was a total wreck,
and thinking he would be arrested II
recognized, jumped on another car and
got away before he could be identified.
Coe saw that his partner was hurt
and gave up the chase. The speeding
auto disappeared in a cloud of dust
and the driver escaped arrest.

MAY 90 TO
HONOLULU
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PLANS
EXCURSION
LAST YEARS TRIP IS TO BE
OUTCOME
If Only Steamer Large
Enough Can Be Pro-
cured ~.

According to present indications Los
Angeles may have another excursion
run to Honolulu this year. This one
will be run as was last years under
the auspices of the chamber of COM
merce, only every effort will be made
to have it much larger enterprise
than that of 1907
Frank Virgins, secretary of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce, was at
Redondo yesterday. He was kept busy
while there talking over this proposed
trip to Honolulu among other things.
But he had nothing definite to give out
upon his return to Los Angeles save
that there were many people quite anx-
fous to go on such q trip should 1t be
undertaken.
This trip already has enough people
ready to go on 1t to assure its sue
cess" said Mr.. Virgins yesterday.
1.-THE only difficulty Is to secure a
proper vessel.
Last year the trip was made on the
steamer Ohio and $50 people In all en-
joyed that journey, which was made
under the auspices of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce. No accident Of
any kind marred our trip and every
one was we'll pleased
The idea of this excursion is not only
to afford pleasant journey for those
taking 1t, which will undoubtedly be
the case, but to do something to create
trade relations between Los Angeles
and Honolulu. This is the spirit of the
chamber of commerce throughout to
aid the growth of the city, as Secre-
tary Virgins pointed out yesterday.
Nothing definite concerning the de-
tails has been planned as yet, although
many of the particulars were dis
cussed by Secretary Virgins while in
Redondo yesterday.

NO WEEKS VACATION
WITH PAY FOR TEACHERS

At the meeting of the board of educa-
tion held last night the usual one
weeks vacation with pay granted the
teachers will be discontinued. This ac-
ton on the part of the board was due
to the shortage of school funds.
The superintendent Of schools recon-
mended that some action be taken to
relieve the crowded conditions of the
Polytechnic and Los Angeles high
schools and suggested building another
high school. No action was taken in
the matter.
A communication from President Da-
vid Starr Jordan of Stanford university
was read to the board, asking the pos
sibility of the Los Angeles high school
and other high schools giving supple
mentary two years course instructions
in subjects of freshman and sophomore
years in certain courses of the univer-
sity. Principal Houser of the Los An
geles high school said. commenting on
the subject:
upon canvass of the upper class of
the high school it appears that the
courses would be attended by one-half
or two-thirds of our graduates and the
adoption of these courses would be
most desirable and practical, the only
question to be considered being that of
the expense"

RENEW FIGHT FOR
OLD FIRE ESCAPES
OFFICE BUILDING MEN PROPOSE
AMENDMENT
Building Department Opposes Move on
Ground That Los Angeles Is
Behind the Times In
Legislation

Building Inspector J. j. Backus is
much opposed to the amended ordi-
nance proposed by George Mason and
others, which he says will practically
spoil the plans to make fire escapes on
all Los Angeles buildings up to date.
He opposes the old style upright lad
ders, which are dangerous to women in
descending, and favors stairs fastened
at an angle with side rails or hand
grasps.
LOS Angeles is behind the times in
It's fire escape legislation as compared
with eastern cities,' said Inspector
Backus.
Mason deluged the city council with
letters inciosing copies of his ordi-
nance, which he said would eliminate
objections to the fire escape ordinance
recently vetoed by the mayor. The
amendment will be considered at next
Mondays meeting.
1T think an inspection of said ordi-
nance will convince you that it justly
eliminates provisions of the building
ordinance which are too harsh against
owners of buildings that are not unsafe
in their present condition. Mr. Mason
says.
