TREAT IN STORE
FOR ART LOVERS
Mrs. w. n. Housh of the Fine Arts
League Obtains Special Favor
from Noted New York
Artist

Art lovers will be interested in the
announcement that Los Angeles is TO
have the privilege for a short time
this spring of housing for exhibition
purposes or possible sale several i'm
portant canvases by American paint
ers of note, the opportunity having
come as a courtesy to the Fine Arts
league through the efforts of Mrs. w.
H. Housh, chairman Of the art COM
mittee.
The only mischance that might be-
fall the successful consummation of
the plan would be the failure to secure
a fireproof building in which to locate
the temporary gallery.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Housh and their
son were returning from Europe last
fall they stopped for a time in New
York, and Mrs. Housh visited the Mac
beth gallery on Fifth avenue. She met
Mr.. Macbeth one morning enjoying a
view of oil paintings by Howard Pyle
prior to the collection being sent away
for exhibition. This was the first oil
exhibit ever made by Pyle, whose
fame is founded on his work as an IL
illustrator, and Mrs. HOuSh's interest in
this and the work of other artists on
display formed the basis of an inter-
esting morning.
1t was this visit that led to the offer
of the loan announced above, which
was made by Mr.. Macbeth to Mrs
Housh as chairman of the art commit
| tee Of the Fine Arts league At the
same ime Mr.. Macbeth asked for al
| intimat1on as to the artists whose
work would be most acceptable.
Soon after reaching Los Angeles Mrs
Housh mailed Mr.. Macbeth the little
booklet issued by the league last year
concerning which he says in his letter:
Il rarely have my attention called
| to anything SO definite and practical
as is being planned for your city, and
| it will be a real pleasure for me tc
help in any way that is possible fol
! me"

FALL FROM RAFT
WAS PLAYING AT SAILOR IN
FLOODED SAND PIT
Companions Scream with Terror and
Are Themselves Thrown Into
Water, but Wade Safely
to Shore

CorWln V. Whitaker, IL years old,
who lived with his uncle, E. w. Nor
gan, at 1910 East Twenty-seventh
street, fell from a raft which he and
several companions were plotting about
a hooded sand pit at Washington street
and the river bed, and was drowned at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
body was recovered shortly afterward
and taken to the undertaking establish
ment of Bresee Bros.
The lad was the only son of Mrs. A.
b. Whitaker, a widow. Yesterday aft
ernoon when he returned from school
he Joined Frank Kassala, 8 years old,
Of 1895 East Thirty-seventh street, and
several other boys, and went to the
river bed to play.
On their arrival at the river they
found a small raft floating in a pool
formed by the high water in a deep
gravel pit. One Of the lads suggested
that they play sailor and ride about the
pond on the timbers.
After some difficulty they succeeded
in getting abe raft to the bank and all
got on. They padded about the pool
for a while, when in some manner the
Whitaker boy lost his balance and fell
overheard. He was fully dressed and
sank like q; rock. When he rose to the
surface the raft had drifted away from
him and was beyond his reach.
Wnen the Otner boys saw that thelr
companion was drowning they began to
scream, and in the confusion that fol-
lowed the raft was overturned and they
were thrown out. They were near the
bank. however and waded ashore.
G. w. Van Curen of 495 Casanova
street, who was standing on the rail-
road crossing near where the boys
were, saw the boy fall in and rushed
to his assistance When he reached the
pool the boy had gone down for the
| last time. He called to several passers-
by, and after short time recovered the
body and notified the coroner.
| 1t is probable that a certificate of
accidental death will be signed by the
coroner without holding an inquest.

The Want Ad "Plays Its Part" in Huma
Affairs


Look out of your window and watch the peo-
pie who passing.
That man with the anxious face is out of
works. looking for it; looking for work bv
walking around, somewhat aimlessly-as he
might have had to do before there was such
thing as want advertising in the world
The woman in a hurry is on her wav to
| answer want ad in person-the other Vyo-
is going shopping, and to have a servant
wanted ad printed in tomorrow's paper
That young fellow answered a want ad yes
terday and now has his letter appointing an
interview.
The other young man, hurrying along, is
going to take look at a furnished room a1i-
vertised in todays paper.
There are people passing who have proper
ties to sell or rent, and people meeting and
passing them who want to buy or rent iust
such properties. The woman who wants a
servant and the servant who wants a place
walk along few PAGES apart-all of them
perhaps, intending to publish want ads
In one .hour-if your window looks upon a
busy street-there will have passed in review
before you people with every sort of want
and other people able and willing to satisfy
every one of these wants.
With little imagination you can picture
the work the want ads should do for these
people-and will do, for some of them, within
few days.

ter quite an effort, in getting Mr.. Hiram
Dickens, a blind and aged soldier, into
the Home. The difficulty arose from a
loss of papers, lost when his home was
burned several years ago, and only last
week he was sent to the County Asylum.
But Mrs. Burchard did not give up, and
to-day has succeeded in getting him into
the Old Soldiers Home.

dered and dainty refreshments served
