warm reception and took the two games the

looks better than when it went away. Austin Is

PHONETICS

will laugh at statements like this and
will quote them when they talk of the
orudeness and barbarism of the TWEEN

mechanics. With a phonetic al
phabet every language on earth would
spell itself, and any spoken word could
be written by any human being who
knew the alphabet.
That in this enlightened age any hu-
man being cannot write down any word
which may be uttered will cause much
surprise, comment and popularity
"Our ancestors were wonder workers.
posterity will say. "They could do
everything except spell. The art of
spelling with them was a matter of GUS
tom and not common sense" Whom
spelling reform, last but not least Of the

EDUCATION

MUCH interest has been aroused in
wi professional educational circles
AiA by the publication Of report to
the effect that Occidental and Pomona
colleges will be consolidated. The
union Of the two institutions on broad
lines would add another university TO
Southern California, and apart alto
gether from other features Of the case
would establish the position of Los
Angeles as the leading educational CEN
ter Of the west.
We believe heartily that Los Angeles
is entitled to be, should be and Is fast
becoming the headquarters of art, lit
erature and music. From an academic
point of view the leadership is already
established; and what is needed to con-
firm the advantage already gained Is a
more general expression of the artistic,
literary and musical life OF the city.
The slogan "Patronize home indus
tries" should include art. literature,
music and education. There is not a
more important industry in the west
ern hemisphere than the great educa-
tional industry of California. 1t cam
not fail to leave its impress upon the
nation. In days to come men celebrat-
ed in every one of the higher walks of
life will be found who will be proud

Gated in Los Angeles"

OLD CORRESPONDENT GIVES
OPINION OF BATHING DRESS

LONG BEACH, May 5.--[Editor Her
add: The northing sun, and conse-
quent warm air and warm sand are
each inviting the native and the new
conner to take to the beach and the
surf.
1t was Sidney Smith who, sweltering
somewhere under a summer sun, said,
Il wish l could take off my flesh and
sit in my bones to cool" l reckon
modesty would not go into spasms If
cooling in ones bones were the fash
ion. But this continuing in the flesh
and removing the raiment seems to
have set several good peoples teeth on
edge. Now, this clothes business is a
matter of fashion, custom, education.
There are cases where esthetics, and
maybe morals, demand q special
amount of clothes. For example-and
l would base this demand entirely upon
the law of the eternal fitness of
things, and somebody should introduce
a bill to this effect, either in city
council or state legislature. 1t should
read: "All men who, from being gross
feeders, have acquired such a 'sesqui-
pedality of belly and spindling of
shanks that the due symmetry of the
human form divine has been lost or
contorted must wear something In
shape of a petticoat that shall serve to
return their disproportlon to It's natural
condition." or words to that effect.
Men of normal trunks and appropriate
legs, neither knockkneed nor paren-
thetical, though they may not be fully
up to the Apollo of it, may dress as
they please as long as the accompany
ing women are satisfied.
I approach the other half of the sub
ject with more trepidation than is COM
mon on the beach. To those adorably
curved creatures who fit from flea to
flea in the beach sand and attract at
tention more by what they don't wear
than by what they do, their superficial
integument never begins too late nor
leaves off too soon. But those
"bunchy' females whom years or mis-
fortune have shaped out of balance are
respectfully told that unless they do
something to reduce here and expand
there in their water suits they are sim
ply horrid.
AS remarked, this dress business is
all a matter of taste, of opinion. AS
woman's chief end in life is to be
beautiful, and as beauty is wasted un-
less it is to be seen, this whole dis
turbance resolves itself into Mind
your imprecated business" SENEX.

YELLOW AND RED

NJ EW YORK has had a new "sen-
~ sation." Before an invited audi
~ ence of two hundred white citi-
zens, Caucasian woman became a
member of the Sioux tribe, The
wretched creature allowed her cheeks
to be daubed with red. yellow and
green by a chief named Yellow Thun-
der; and while a red man was decor
ating a white woman with the colors
of his tribe white men looked on un-
moved.
Nobody had spunk enough to leave
his chair and give old Blood and Thun-
der>or yellow Thunder or whatever his
name IS "ane in the neb, twice" The
white men sat by, grinning namely,
while this woman of their race had a
papoose strapped to her back and led
pacSmule around the arena. When
all the chiefs shook hands with their
sister and welcomed her the white men
kept on grinning.
Now, even If the adopted Sioux wo-
man was really inspired by a benevo-
lent desire to help the tribe, why did
she mako public spectacle OF herself?
And when white woman joins a saw
age and treacherous Indian tribe, does
It add to the prestige of the white race

inexpensive living is simplicity itself.
If there had been sixteen people in
stead Of but eight the tomato would
have been divided into sixteen slices,
and served under a magnlfying glass.
