REAL ESTATE MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
WILLARD COOPER INHALES
ILLUMINATING GAS
Found on Bed by Landlady of Room
ing House at 25oo 1-2 Central
Avenue Just Before
Death Came

Without any apparent motive, Will
lard Cooper, Sc years old, a real estate
salesman, ended his life in his room at
2500la Central avenue by inhaling IL
Eliminating gas late Friday night.
The body was discovered by Mrs. H.
Wollscheid, landlady of the room1ng
house, when she entered the room
shortly after o clock yesterday morn
ing, found both gas jets open, the
room filled with gas and the body of
Cooper on the bed. After opening the
windows and the door Mrs. Wollscheid
summoned help and then examined the
body of Cooper. The pulse was beating
faintly. but before a physician could
be summoned Cooper died.
The landlady stated that Cooper gave
no intimation of his intention to COM
nit suicide, and a search of the room
failed to reveal anything that would
throw light on the case. He is said to
have been drinking heavily for the last
few days.
Cooper came to Los Angeles four
years ago. He formerly lived at Lin
coin Neb.. where his father was at
one time chief Of police, and there his
wife and two children now are living.
The dead man was Ut one time en-
uloyed as a salesman for G. NJ. Smith
&, Co, PIP West Pico street. Recently
he was employed by the Peoples
Realty company $500 Central avenue.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishmen Of Brcsee Bros, ana
the coroner probably win sign a GER
ti1cate of suicide without holding an
inquest.

Reports from San Francisco indicate
that the recent visit of the Japanese
commercial commissioners to the
United States may result in the form
alton of an international chamber of
commerce. Before leaving San Fran
cisco for Japan, a conference was
called between the japanese commits
sioners and the representatives of the
associated chambers Of commerce Of
the Pacific coast, with a view of bring
ing out good in the visit of the Jap
anese to this country. Resolutions
We're adopted appointing committee
from every chamber of commerce to
work in conjunction with the japanese
chamber of commerce representatives
and make known to one another the
requirements and products of both
countries, that the trade of each might
be increased and benefited.

F0NDNESS FOR MACHINERY
LEADS TO A FIST FIGHT
Mexican Fools with Steam Roller, Has
Battle with Foreman and Riot
Call Is Result

The determination of Jose Preda. Il
Iaborer employed by the Barber
Asphalt and Paving company, to eX-
pertinent with the steam roller used 70
smooth the newly laid cement and
asphalt paYements, against the wishes
of Albert H. Ryan, foreman for the
paving company at the work being
done on First street near Alameda
street, resulted in a fight which landed
both participants in the city Jail on
charges of suspicion.
The small steam roller greatly in
terested Preda, and at times when the
engine was near where he was pound
ing down the concrete and asphalt he
would leave his work to experiment
with the various valves and levers. He
was caught at this several times, and
Ryan finally warned him never to
touch the roller again.
Yesterday, shortly after the men quit
for lunch, Preda walked over to where
the steam roller was standing and be
ban to tinker with the machinery as
had been his custom. After he had let
out a quantity Of steam Preda at
tempted to start the roller. Ryan hur-
ried over and ordered the laborer to
get away and let the engine alone.
Preda answered by Cursing the fore
man in choice Spanish.
This angered Ryan and he struck
Preda in the eye. The laborer stag
gered backward several feet and then
rushed forward and struck the fore
man in the eye. The foreman almost
fell, and while he was recovering Preda
seized a rock and was about to strike
the foreman when the latter, who also
is a deputy constable, drew his revolver
and struck the Mexican on the head.
By this time the other Worlmen had
gathered and separLed the COM
batants.
Some excited person who saw the
crowd about the struggling men thought
it was a riot, and so notified the police
The patrol wagon with % load Of detac-
tives hurried to the scene and took the
two men to the central police station.

WORLDS FAIR .oR BOSTON.

A movement has been started in Bos-
ton for a worlds fair, to be held in
that city in 1920, to commemorate the
tercentennial anniversary of the land
ing of the pilgrims and the founding
of New England.
1t is not probable that any other city
will hold an exposition in the mean
time, so that by 1920 eleven years will
have elapsed since the last great ex-
position was held-the Alaska Yukon
Pacific. BY that time the country
will have gained tremendously in popu-
lation and wealth, as well as in arts,
sciences and mechanics, and the Boston
exposition should easily prove the
greatest event of it's kind known in
the world s history.
While all other expositions, with the
single exception of the Centennial,
nave been of a purely commercial
character, the Boston event will no
doubt appeal to the patriotism of the
country, and for that reason will be
largely patronized by the American
people.

WATCH OUT FOR
THE fAKIRS

Never has an invention of real merit
been given to the world but a fakir
rushes in whit a device which is an in
fringement, from a moral and at times
from a legal viewpoint. This has been
the custom from the times sages have
been written, and the more perfect and
useful the new device the more per-
sistent and aggressive is the buzzing of
the insect who evades as long as pas
sible the direct legal issue, yet foists
upon a confiding public either a Chi
nese copy of the real thing, or a fake,
pure and simple, designed primarily to
deceive.

cent events, has given this organization
a peculiar position in the commercial
as well as the scientific world. AS DR..
de Forest Is energies have been de-
voted for almost a generation to the in
v~ention and exploitation of wireless
devices, he ish peculiarly fitted to fill
this important Office.
The eminent position held by DR. de
Forest has naturally been a pinnacle
toward the eyes of imitators and char
latans have been raised. 1t has been
impossible heretofore to stop every
charlatan who has surreptitiously stolen
ideas which have been evolved in DIR.
de Forests laboratory.
When Marconi's invention of wire
less telegraphy was given to a waiting
world, scarcely more than a decade
ago, DR.. de Forest had been already ex-
perimenting for several years on a sys-
tenn of wireless which was entirely diff
ferent from that of Marconi. When this
invention was made public, the cum
bersome system of Marconi, with it's
unreliable coherer, was quickly sup
planted by the more rapid and salts
factory device of the American. Since
that time, the science of wireless has
gone forward rapidly. DR.. de Forest
has secured more than one hundred pat
ents of wireless appliances and devices,
which are now used by the Radio com
pany in their wireless telegraph and
telephone system. Some of these de-
vices are being used by other self
styled inventors, but only the unso-
phisticated are deceived, and they, only
for a brief period.
DIR. de Forests latest and greatest
invention, which will doubtless revolu-
~tionize the entire world of wireless
communication, is considered by ex-
perts so far superior to any other ex
listing method that the investor is ae-
~knowledged to be the premier scientist
in his chosen field in this country. As
ISOLATED with DR. de Forest in scien-
tifc research are DIR. George Seibt, ac-
knowledged to be the premier wire
less expert of the old world, and E. A,
Thinks, M. E., Phi. D., whose inven-
tions have already attracted attention
throughout Europe. DR.. de Forest, in
accepting the office of president of the
Society of Wireless Telegraph Engi-
neers, gracefully acknowledged the hon
or conferred upon him and said he
would endeavo to foster the interests
of the society as far as lay in his
power.
The presidency of this organization
carries with it the highest honor that
can be conferred upon a worker in
the WIRELESS art.

4-foot wood, with sticks 6 inches in
diameter, the chip loss is from six to
eight per cent; and of course, the
shorter the sticks are cut the greater
the loss. If the wood is sawed, the
sawdusct loss is scarcely the half If
one per cent.
The difference due to spaces between
the sticks of course depends very much
on the shape and size of the sticks
Straight, smooth sticks lie close togeth-
er, and a cord contains more wood aid
less air. For given lengths, sticks of
softwoods are usually straighter and
smoother, and when stacked lie togeth-
err. But whatever the kind, cords of
long sticks are pretty sure to contain
more empty space than cords made of
short pieces. Likewise, cords of split
wood contain less cords than round
sticks. The finer the wood is split, the
more it makes. Hence wood dealers are
often willing to sell kindlings, all saw
ed and split, for the same price per
cord as unsplit wood. They get back
the cost of labor in the increased bulk.
A cord (12s cubic feet) of 4-foot
hardwood usually contains about S3 Gu
bic feet of solid wood; a cord of g.
food wood averages S3h cubic feet; of
2-foot wood, 81 feet, and of 1-foot wood
So feet. Thus the purchaser receives
on an average about two-thirds of a
cord of real wood and one-third of a
cord of spaces.
In some countries wood is bought by
weight, and the buyer comes more
nearly getting what he bargains for;
but even then he may miss it if he re-
%ceives green wood when he wants dry.
According to timber testing engineers
of the United States forest service,
wood may lose half or more of its
green weight in seasoning. Cedar for
lead pencils is bought by weight in this
country. The pieces are so small and
of such irregular size that they cannot
conveniently be stacked and measured
as cordwood.
The bulk of nearly all woods de-
~creases as seasoning goes on. A hun
dred cords of green will make from SO
to SO cords when dry. This is a factor
of no small Importance to dealers who
handle large quantities.
Woodlot owners and farmers who
have small forest tracts from which
they expect to sell cordwood, are no
less interested han contractors who
buy and sell large quantities. 1t will
stand them in hand to konw how much
difference it makes whether wood is
cut long or short, chopped or sawed,
whether the sticks are round or split,
whether large or small, and whether
the measurements are to be made while
the wood is green or after it is sea
soned.

A CORD IS
A CORD
When is a cord not a cords

When is a cord not a cord?
To the farmer harvesting his small
woodlot and to the man laying in logs
for the large ireplaces of his country
or seaside home; to the paper manu-
facturer buying pulpwood and to the
proprietor of the ordinary city wood
yard, to all of these men this question
has an important dollars-and-cents
meaning.
Queer to say, and contrary to the be-
lief of most people, there are many
times when a cord is less than a cord,
and many conditions when it is more.
School arithmetics say that a cord of
wood is 128 cubic foot, or the contents
of a pile eight feet long, four feet high
and four feet wide. Wood is marketed
on this basis. A pile whose length,
breadth and heighth multiplied togeth-
er gives this number of cubic feet fills
this requirement, no matter whether
the sticks are long or short, straight or
crooked, round or split, unless there is
an understanding to the contrary. New
ertheless, a cord, though it comes up
to legal requirements, is an uncertain
quantity, ever when the seller is honest
and the buyer satisfied.
A lumberman may have a tract of
pulpwood which he sells to a paper mill
at S. a cord, for as many cords as it
will make. 1t is in the contract that
he shall cut and stack it. He cuts it
in l2-foot lengths, and when the job j.
complete, it measures 200 cords, and he
receives 81 900 for it. Would he have
made or lost by cutting 4-foot lengths
instead of 12f
He would have lost in the first place
from the additional labor required to
cut 4-foot wood, but his principal loss
would nave resulted from a greatly di-
minished number of cubic feet, due to
the fact that short sticks lie closer to-
gether than large ones.

aclty how much actual wood is in cords

Had the 200 cords of 12-foot wood
been cut in 4.foot lengths, there would
have been only rs cords, and the W
er would nave received for it $3.50 in
stead of $1,000. 1t was, therefore,
clearly to his advantage to cut 12-foot
lengths, but it would have been to the
buyers advantage to have it cut in A.
foot lengths. He would have received
the same actual quantity of wood for
1920 less.
1t also makes considerable difference
to the seller whether wood is chopped
or sawed. If chopped, the chips are
lost. Where the logs are large this loss
moun to no small total. In a cord of
