nj INIATURES have been growing
IRI in popularity for some time,
AtA and their use in brooches, and
especially in rings once a favorite set
ting in England among the nobility, is
now being revived, and men as well
as women adorn their jewelry with
exquisitely dainty likenesses of their
loved ones. The beauty and richness
of the piece is enhanced by surround
ing the portrait with gems, such as
pearls and rose diamonds; and espe-
cially designed filagree or enameling
in colors harmonizing with those in
the picture; and the color scheme is
further carried out in the platinum,
gold or silver used for the mount
ing, consideration being given even to
its becomingness to the hand of the
wearer. In some instances the min
iature itself is concealed, as in a
lOcket, and a decoration of enamel or
jewels is given the exterior, a secret
spring revealing the face within at the
pleasure of it's owner. Besides rings,
match boxes and cuff links for men,
and bracelets and pendants for women
are set with these tiny miniatures.
Such a bracelet was worn by Queen
Victoria, the portraits being those of
her grandchildren when infants. Any
one possessing one of the old-fashionad
English mountings, in which may once
have been treasured lock of hair,
may fill its place with miniature
and have a quaint and now much
sought-for ring.
Mary Helen Carlisle has achieved
great success in the painting Of these
small miniatures in London. Los An
geles has several miniature painters

4 CITING on the theory that every
u Kansan is naturally an orator and
"A willing to hurl an avalanche of
words on the slightest provocation, H.
H. Huntsberger, secretary of the Kan
sas society of Southern California, has
prepared a novel program for the sum-
mer picnic of the society at Sycamore
grove, August Z. No set orations have
been arranged for, and the only an
nounced speaker on the program is the
regulation newcomer to California, who
will tell how greatly he enjoys living
in Southern California.
That place will be filed by John w.
Huntsberger, who has lately come to
Los Angeles from Topeka, and when he
closes his euIogy of California climate
the lists will be thrown open to former
Kansans, who can show they have not
forgotten the habit of making few
remarks. Several hundred have infor-
mally notified Secretary Huntsberger
that they will be ready to fill in the va
cant time on the program. If they can
be squeezed in without making the

orators nervous, a musical program
will be provided and L. NJ Fall, pres
ident of the club, will read a poem
from the Farmers Mail and Breeze.
The Kansas society is one of the state
organizations having an informal MEM
bership. A roster is kept at the head
quarters, but there are no dues. Sew
eral thousand Kansans come together
two or three times a year, using the
society as a means for reunions. In
addition to the officers, George Over
meyer, Ralph Peck, Clarence H. Mat
son and Mrs. Charlotte Weaver are the
directors.
The plan initiated by the society dur
ing Elks' week, of establishing recep-
tion rooms and headquarters for all
Kansans in Los Angeles during the
week, proved so popular and received
so many concentrations from persons
living in Southern California who ap-
preciated the convenience that it will
be continued as a regular feature of
the society's work on the occasion of
big conventions and other gatherings

toned as one of the best She studied
In London and Paris, and her work
was exhibited in both the Royal
academy and the Salon. Local ex-
hibitions have also had miniature
groups by this artist, whose studio in
the Blanchard building is open to

Joseph Pennell, the American etcher
who has immortalized the skyscrapers,
as 1t were, by idealizing them In his
charming street scenes of New York,
is represented by a number of re-
productions of his later etchings por-
traying Pittsburg surroundings in the
July International Studio. While ad-
mirable in technique and unique in
conception, II seems, nevertheless, re-
grettable that so great talent should
seek out something so unattractiVe in
itself through which to make Its
power manifest. The critic says of
"Steel: in the Works of Homestead"
1T conveys an overwhelming impress
sion of thick atmosphere, saturated
with smoke and CRIME, and strangely
lurid with the sulphuric, foggy, yellow
light of a setting sun" In this we
fail to find the uplift, the calm and
rest the surcease from sorrow which
we seek in art. But Mr.. Singer ex-
plains this by saying further: THAT
he (PennelD has the refined sense of
the poet to see beauty, where ordinary
mortals cannot penetrate beyond the
commonplace, is gift by Itself"
The work Of two American painters
was prominent. in this years Royal
Academy exhibition, and painting
by one of them proclaimed the great
est achievement which has been IN
cluded in the exhibition"-that called
"Cashmere," by John Singer Sargent.
This picture is distinguished for eX-
quisite modelling, beauty of lines and
the extraordinary power displayed in
its handling. Besides this painting,
which brings new laurels to the al
ready famous artist, there are several
other canvases shown by him; two
portraits and his Israel and the Law.
a decorative painting, all OF which nave
received high praise.
A portrait of the daughter of II. E.
Preston, ESQ, "Chloe," by j. j. Shan
non, an American who has won medals
for portrait work at eXpositions of
Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Chicago and
who took a gold medal for painting
the figure OF South Kensington, is also
to be one of the best seen
in this years Academy exhibition. Mr..

That Los Angeles artists are well
at the Seattle exposition is
evidenced by the catalogue of the fine
arts gallery and exhibit of arts and
crafts of the California building. Near
ly half of the paintings hung are by
Southern California artists, exactly
half of the miniatures shown are from
Los Angeles and about one-third of the
number of craft exhibits belong to this
city. While the number of pieces is
not so great a percentage, half of the
exhibitors of sculpture represent Los

ing us today of vast Importance
problems that must be met intelli-
gently and without delay; and in
this connection I might refer to the
inadequacy of our present city hall
to house the officials and employees
under one roof; the utter lack Of
room of our city hail and of our

condition of our schools which will
be more obvious than ever at the
next session, and the congested
condition of some of our principal
business streets on account of the
immense street car traffic. These

West, yet we adopted ones are just
as proud of California as are the
native born; and in addition, let me
say 1t is no fault of ours that we
are not native sons.
I arrived in Los Angeles in 1895,
and as I now remember, her pop
ulation at that time was about
1000. We all know what it is to-
day and we are all proud Of her
growth; and every one of us has
seemingly added his mite to help
make her the magnificent city she
is-a city-the like Of which is une-
qualed on this globe; city whose
citizens are unequaled in intelli-
gence and hospitality; a people who
stand together and do things. This
has been demonstrated time and
time again; the first notable event
being the action of our citizens
through our chamber of commerce
in having the federal government
establish a harbor at San Pedro
and securing an appropriation for
the building Of a breakWater to
protect that harbOr and thus make
it one Of the safest and finest In the
world; and Of more recent date, Sc
curing the passage by the last leg
islature of a law permitting two or
more cities to consolidate. and
thus giving us the privilege of con-
solidating with San Pedro and VIII

Predicts Great Future

And l now predict that, after Au-
gust 4 and August 10, this will be
Greater Los Angeles in fact, and
we will be one united and happy
people, and that, in the next ten
years, Greater Los Angeles will
have builded one of the best har-
bors Of modern times which will be
municipality controlled and operated
in the interest Of all the people of
this great City-a city that will
have at least 100000 people-as
well as for the benefit of all the
citizens in this entire southwestern
country.
Next, when our citizens by
vote Of 10 to ] decided to secure
an adequate supply of water for
all purposes, and virtually for all
time to come, they proceeded to ac-
quirc this water and are now con-
structing the owens river aque-
duct, an undertaking that has
made the entire east sit up and
take notice, Yes, we voted tWen-
ty-three millions of bonds to do
this, and I tell you right here while
this project is not more than half
completed and so far we have not
received any of the direct benefits
that will accrue to our people upon
its completion, yet the value of our
real estate has increased twice
twenty-three million dollars be-
cause of the fact that this project
will be completed,
What next? We wanted good
roads in Los Angeles county. and
our citizens and the citizens of our
sister cities had a law enacted
whereby we could issue bonds to
build good roads-they voted S.
100000 in bonds to build these roads
and mind you there isn't a mile
of these roads to be built within
the limits of an incorporated
town-and that virtually. three
ffths of the population Of this

ROBBERY
OCCURS
IN GARY
Wholesale Revolver Lifting
Takes Place in City, the
Colonial Cigar Store SUI
fering the Loss of Weap-
onS.

The first real robbery that has taken
place in Gary for some time occurred
last night on Broadway, the Colonial
Cigar store suffering the loss Several
drunks have been rolled. clothes and
tools have been stolen, but last night
Gary suffered from her first real rob
berry for many days. The loot con-
sisted of twelve revolvers of the Iver-
johnson make. and two Smith and
Wesson and six valuable pocket knives
The value of the goods taken has not
been determined by the police as yet,
but will probably amount to about $50
Entrance was gained through the
rear window which was pried open
with a Jimmy. The police claim that
they have continually warned Burk &,
Proper, the proprietors about this mat
ter and that they have paid not heed
to their warnings. The window. they
said, had no bars on them for protec-
ton, and it is an easy matter to force
window. 1t Is thought that the en-
trance was made early this morning.

NEW CAFES
To Be OPEN
NEXT WEEK

Following the closing Of two res
taurants in Gary several days ago, an
nouncements have been made that two
more "beaneries" are to be started in
Gary next week to fill their places. The
new restaurants will be located in the
same buildings in which the previous
ones held forth for some time. BY the
addition of the two new places, Gary's
reputation for eating places will be
fully re-established.
The Paris cafe. at 724 Broadway. is
to be reopened Monday by the pres
ent owners, Attorneys Harris and
Bretsch. The new place win be mod
ern in every respect, and Mr.. Harris
said yesterday that one Of the features
of the place will be its cleanliness The
manager has already been engaged in
the person of j. F. Vordemark. for
merry the proprietor Of the Victoria
hotel cafe where he gained a high rep
utation. Gary is to be congratulated
in getting back to this city man Of
Mr.. Vordemark's reputation.
The old Bismark place will probably
be rented today by the agent. Harry
Stringfellow, to a Chicago party of
considerable reputation who will start
anew in the business in Gary. The man
has practically decided on Gary for his
new field and the lease will likely be
signed today.

new STYLE HOUSE

Patent Cement Building Be

Especial to TIE TINES

Indiana Harbor. July 12.-Much in
terest is being manifested in a new
style house that is in process of cree
ton in Indiana Harbor in Hemloclx
street between One Hundred and Thir-
ty-seventh and One Hundred and Thir-
ty-eighth streets.
The house has much the appearance
of the popular "rought-cast" structures
50 much in vogue in the fashionable
suburbs. with the exception that the
Indiana Harbor cottage has rounded
cement corners and cement window
sils instead of the customary wood
corners and stills.
The cottage. which is nearly com
pleted, is a combination of wood and
cement and is built Of cement slabs
nailed onto a sheeted wooden frame
work. All joints between the slabs
are filled with cement and over all is
laid composition of Portland cement.

of waterproof paint is then applied.
making the exterior complete. The cot
tage in Hemlock street. which is the
first of its kind ever erected, is orna
mented with large, massive cement
porch, giving it a neat and attractive
appearance.
The point of all this is the very
important one that the cottage can
thus be erected at a very slight cost
over that of a frame structure of equal
size and the owner, instead OF hay-
ing a house which in time will cost
him his original outlay over again in
repairs, he hasa solid permanent build
ing requiring very little. if any. re-
pairs, and that will last him a life
time.
The Hemlock street cottage has FIVE
rooms.a bath and hot water. The idea
of the slabs. which are 4Sx23% inches
in dimensions, is that Of Ben Roop of
the Pioneer Lime and Cement company
who has applied in Washington for a
patent on his invention. Another cot
tage of the same description, as that
almost completed, will be begun this
week at One Hundred and Thirty-ninth
and Grapevine streets.

ures was small. When a person buys
a machine. no matter whether it be
a new one or an old one, he is required
by the law to take out automobile
license before he is allowed to run the
thing in the state.
1t is estimated that the average
price paid for an automobile in this
state Is at least $1,000 But when you
consider the number of second hand
machines sold in the state for an av-
erage price Of much less than IT is
safe to figure, that the average price
for all Of the 5000 WHY be at least ST.

Farmers Buy Autos.
In the same length of time last year
the records show that 1850 automo-
bile licenses were issued Therefore,
the automobile sales this year are
practically double what they were last
year.
1t is said that most of the machines
that are being sold now In Indiana are
being sold to farmers. It appears to
have become a fad for the well-to-do
farmer to have his automobile, and
this is especially true of the farmer
who retires from active farm work and
moved to town to enjoy the fruits of
his labors. He almost invariably has
his automobile to run back and forth
to "the place"
Whether all of this indicates that
farmers are becoming extravagant or
whether it means that they are more
than ordinarily prosperous Is a ques-
tion, but II is fact that millions of
dollars will be spent by Indiana farm
ers this year for automobiles.
At the Office of the secretary of state
it is said that nearly all of the sales
of automobiles this year are made for
cash. In some cases notes are taken
