SOCIETY LEADERS IN
HOLLYWOOD TO BE WED
Plans for Secret Marriage In FoothlII
City Leak Out, According
to Rumor

Why Danny Cupid SO seldom keeps
a secret entrusted to him is something
none can find out, and now he has
gone and told again, his loquacity this
time involving two we'll known So
ciety folk of Hollywood.
: The groom to be, according to re-
port, is DR.. r. j. Alcorn, whose head
quarters are at Hotel Hollywood. He
is one of the most popular bachelors
in the foothill city. 1t is whispered
that the bride-t o-be is Miss Irene
O'Brien, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
E. O'Brien of North Cahuenga ave-
nue.. and that the marriage is to take
place at noon today at the home of
the brides parents.
Friends of the couple vouch for the
truth of the report, and claim that
the principals in the romance were
planning a little surprise for every
one except a few intimates.
But the doctor is praying to be de-
liyered from his many friends, know
ing that a quick and quiet getaway
is his only method of escape from
showers of rice and other tokens OF

TWO HIKES ARE PLANNED
BY BOYS OF THE Y. M. c. A.
Members of Gymnasium Classes to
Walk Up Arroyo Seco to
Pasadena

Two departments of the Y. M. c. A.
are planning hikes this week, and
great plans are being made for the
events. Today the members of the
gymnasium classes will hike" up the
Arroyo Seco from Avenue Sixty to
Pasadena, and it is expected that about
fifty boys will turn out. A luncheon
around a camp fire in the arroyo will
be one of the features of the day, with
possible visit in the Eagle Rock
valley.
The summer school boys are planning
for their outing Friday afternoon at the
close of the school at 2:20 o'clock. The
boys will take the Western avenue car
to Melrose avenue and will walk from
there to Laurel canyon. A luncheon
will be enjoyed in the canyon.

NAVY MILITIA men
BACK FROM CRUISE
RETURN FROM TRIP ON BOARD
u. S. S. ALERT
Leave San Pedro and Go to San Diego,
Thence to San Francisco.
Two Officers in
Party
Branches: 9th and Main
fl26 South Hoover Street

Twelve men and two officers of the
Los Angeles division of California ma
val militia have just returned from
their annual cruise on board the Unit
ed States steamship Alert.
The division as a whole embarked at
San Pedro July for a cruise to san
Diego and return. For the trip north
to San Francisco twelve men and two
officers. Lieut.. A. II. WOODBURY. and
Junior Lieut.. George f. Link, were
taken.
The officers of the Alert were much
pleased at the slowing made by the
Los Angeles boys. They always came
aboard neat and ready for business.
eve like to see. the Los Angeles boys
come aboard" said Executive officer
Henry p. Smith of San Francisco.
This year Lieutenant Commander
Fewel of the regular service was on
board to observe and make report 10
the navy department on work done by
the naval militia of this state. COM
mander Fewel expressed himself as
highly pleased with the showing mad9
by officers and men. His report to the
navy department will doubtless carry
with it several recommendations for
the good of the service.
While at anchor in San Pedro mar
Dor courtesies were exchanged between
the United States steamship Albany
and the revenue cutter McCulloch.
The officers of these two ships were
enthusiastic in their praise of the con-
dltion of the men and of the Alert as
we'll.
At the invitation of Commander Oil
yer of the Albany, the large part of the
crew of the Alert passed one entire
day aboard the Albany, receiving In
struction IN gunnery etc.
OF the cruise and it's results Lieuten-
ant Woodbine said yesterday:
"While no speed or gunnery records
were smashed, yet much practical
knowledge was obtained by both Off
GERS and men, it being, to my mind,
the most successful cruise yet held by
the naval militia of California. The
instruction in navigation by Lieut. j.
r. Mcmillan of the United States ny
geographic office in San Francisco was
most beneficial to us officers, and the
practical application of seamanship by
the men could not but have been both
interesting and instructive.
..The seamanship of all was most
severely tested while making the run
from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz,
forty-nine hours being consumed In
making the run. The ocean was not
ouite as smooth as Westlake park dur
ing the entire time.
SAs direct result of the showing
made by the Los Angeles division a
cutter will shortly be sent here and
stationed at San Pedro. This is step
in the right direction and will add
much to the practical work of the di-
vision"

The mother of large family fell

proved it: The woman had to get the

hours in waiting on the family and
getting the children to the table. 1t
was never on record that she got all
of them there at the same time and
they came struggling in all the way
from potatoes to pie. BY the time
she had wiped the last face. her own
hunger had left her and she had no

WAYS OF CLEANING CHIFFON.

Chiffon should be washed in soap

pint Of water.
Roll In cloth to absorb some of
the moisture. but 1t must not be too
dry when 1t is ironed
To iron chiffon, 1t must be placed on
the table wrong side up and ironed
along the selvedge, as ironing across
would displace the fibers and destroy
the appearance of the delicate fabric.
When the chiffon is being ironed it
ought to be held tightly up in front
of the iron to remove crinkles that
are produced by washing and to make
It quite even and smooth.
Chiffon ties with natural crepon
crtnkle should not be ironed. but In

The fashion of wearing transparent
sleeves is certainly a comfortable one
during warm weather; fence its great
popularity. for these sleeves cover
every type of arm imaginable-arms
SO fat they resemble small holsters.
thin arms. white arms and sallow
ones. Indeed, until one has spent half
an hour in the shopping district it is
hard to believe there could be such
a variety of arms. The fashion may
be a pretty one as well as comfort
able one If the wearers would only
back the sleeves with thin white
chiffon or mousseline de sole. This
tone may be used whether the sleeves
are white, black or color.

Proper food is the foundation oi

for time until there is sudden col.

kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out OF the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food.
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says;
Last summer 1 was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with

Very soon the yellow coating disap-,

To Stretch Curtains.

Use quilting frame or a curtain
stretcher converted into a quilting
frame by tacking strips of ticking or
any heavy material doubled to inch
width on the inner edges of the frame
where pins have been. Temporarily
pin the curtains on four corners and
at intervals on side. then sew them
on. instead of pinning them, with a
basting stitch. Scalloped edged cur
tains can be sewed on two at time
and three or more plain edged ones.
1t is surprising to see no peaks in
scallops or straight edges and with
less labor and time spent and with
no sore fingers.

we're tug on their deep line, which was
dragging bottom at a depth of 450
feet. just off Panaria. among the Lii
pari islands, north of Sicily.
Upon pulling in the line their joy
was turned to chagrin when they
found they had hooked not fish, but
some sort of old jar, the graceful out
lines of which were almost concealed
by the growth of coral and barnacles
which adhered to it. The interior of
the vase was filled with mud, which
made it very heavy and had given rise
to hopes of a large fish, when they
trst hooked it.
The vase bore every evidence of
having been on the bottom of the sea
for centuries, but that fact did not
greatly impress the fishermen, who,
however, did think enough of it to car
ry 1t ashore. Later they carefully
chiseled away as much of the marine
growth from its sides as possible, as
we'll as from the inside neck, and then
worked the mud out from the bowl

cred its appearance much improved

1t was the sight of small sum of
money which caused this alteration
in their plans.
John Quadara had taken vacation
from his little shoe shop in Somer-
vile and had gone to Italy to visit
the scenes of his boyhood. While at
Sicily he learned of the vase found
by the fishermen and went to see it.
He is no authority on ancient relics,
but he had an idea that the vase was
worth something. Learning the fish
ermen intended giving it away, he
offered a small sum for it, and it be-
came his property.
The jar is of plain red earthenware,
the inside of the neck apparently
plainly showing the handiwork of
the artist who wrought it, despite it's
partia, coating of marine growth The
inside of the bowl seems much
smoother, ALMOST too smooth to have
been done by hand, and it is as clean
as if fresh from the pottery. The
owner accounts for this by the fact
that 1t has so long been filled with
mud from the bottom of the sea-

"MAkEs BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute tt
Railroad Magnate as suiIder-up
Of the Country.

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman is on .
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going on on pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that 1t will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage OF
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in mem
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation. E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether 1t is for the advan-
tage of politicians. shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
financier. but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has Hartman
road. He insists on good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Hartman gets hold of
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put 1t in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds go
into real lie provements to make a
railroad. and that is where he stands
ahead Of good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have been le1 to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for improvement that
way than there is in some others
which arc being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road fair

standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is great man. and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
OF the money power, seeking whom
1t may devour. He is strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads. not on foreign
titles. race horses. old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

Only cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth of
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called cures" for con-
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors, .
professors" and institutes" are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump-
ton for small amounts. with the re-
suit that thousands of dupes are year
ly cheated out of their lives as well
as their money. Besides these. cures"
and medicines of all sorts, numbering
now several hundred. are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump-
tion is fresh air. rest and wholesome
food.

Laughter a Series of Rarks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with sudden and violent contraction
OF the muscles of the chest and abb
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold 1t
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. AS
1t does SO it makes the vocal cords vi
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation Of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of
quarter of second. There are thus
in hearty laugh four barks a second,
and If continued. they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves. and this in
terval is marked by quick gasp for
breath. after which the barks are re-
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.
