AS YOU LIKE IT"
MAY BE REPEATED
Principals in Cast to Discuss
Proposition to Restage
Play In ClaremOnt

BERKELEY, June 4.-The proposition
to give a second production of GAS You
Like It." which was staged in the
Claremont hills May 80, will be dis
cussed by the principals of the cast
in the home Of Mrs. Allen Babcock, in
Lake street, Oakland, tomorrow after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. Babcock plan an
elaborate reception to the cast tomor-
row. Mrs. Babcock was Rosalind.
Since the night of the performance,
which was marred by the failure of the
lights in the middle of the second act,
there has been some talk of restaging
the play. Some Of the members of the
executive committee were in favor of
this step, while others declared that
the support accorded the play was not
sufficient to warrant another produc-
ton
Tomorrow, however, the matter will
be definitely settled.

MOUND REVEALS
UNWRITTEN PAST
Vanished People Left Traces Of
Their Civilization on Bay
Shore Years Ago

oERkELEY, June A bulletin on
tire Investigations made at the Ellis
landing shell mound by Nels C. Nelson,
an instructor in the department of an
thropology of the university, has been
issued by the university press. Ac-
cording to the author. OF the 400 shell
mounds found, this is the most inter-
esting from the scientific standpoint
and offers the university anthropoli-
gists many complex studies.
The Ellis landing shell mound is sit
uated on the northeast shore of San
Francisco bay upon the submerged por-
tion OF a large delta of geologically
recent origin. 1t rests upon solid
gravel. but is more than half buried
in fine mud, which attains a depth
about II ranging from II to 16 feet.
Above the surface of this mud, now
covered with vegetation, the high tides
rise at times more than two feet, so
that ii is fair TO assume that the re-
gion has sunk at least is feet since the
ancient Inhabitants began to accumu-
late the refuse deposit.
The refuse composing the mound is
Nsade up largely of broken shells Of
Ehe common clam and mussel, but some
other species, such as the oyster, the
cookie and the abalone. are also SPAR
ingly represented. To these mulluscan
remains is added a considerable mix
Jure Of ashes, broken rock, pebbles,
animal bones human skeletons and
artifacts. The preponderating shell
= species change Quantitatively from the
bottom Of the mound to the top, and
there is also a sudden alteration in the
structure and general nature Of the
3 deposit, which indicates a possible gap
an the history Of the occupancy Of the
1 -s.,I-
fined almost entirely to the upper half
of the deposit, represent many species
snd prove the mound dwellers to have
become in time very successful hunt
ers.
The mound was used from its begin
ming as a burial place and doubtless
also as residence site, there being
several house pits in good state Of
preservation upon il when first exam
ined The material culture of the shell
mound builders is represented only by
a broken chain Of evidence. Enough
is present, however. to show that
though the first people who camped on
this. site were by no means Of the low
est known savage order, their knowl-
edge and dexterity increased at an ac-
celarating pace as time went on. The
first inhabitants, however ancient they
may have been, possessed some roughly
made stone implements.
The numerous kinds of stone used
for implements in later times makes it
reasonably certain that the mound peo-
pie either made long journeys to the
coast and also to various portions of
abe country or had trade relations with
those parts. Judging from the gener-
ally finished condition of the stone i'm
plements in question, il seems probable
that these were manufactured at a dis
-taEce and therefore perhaps not by the
shell mound people themselves.

and altogether beyond comparison with
the results produced here.
You know the French people have
the development OF the bust and form
down to a fine point.
by this French method the breasts
may be developed from 2 to inches in
80 days. This applies to women OF al
most any age. from young girls to
elderly matrons, whether the bust Is
absolutely not developed at all. or has
grown weak and fabby, and hangs. no
matter from what cause.
1T is beauty Of form that attracts
much more than the features. You will
always find 1t so with both sexes.
II will be only too glad to tell any
woman who is interested what this
simple French method is. II she will
enclose a 2 cent stamp to pay for the
postage. I will send an Illustrated
booklet in a plain sealed wrapper that
will explain it ALL
We suggest to our lady readers that
they write to Madame DuBarrie for
particulars of this remarkable French
method, enclose 2 cents in stamps for
the illustrated booklet and address it

BAD HEART BEATS
ADMITTED POISON
Coroner's Jury Decides That
Mrs. Sanguinetti Died of
Natural Cause

OAKLAND, June 4.-Although the
etti, who died at Providence hospital
Monday, told the physicians who at
tended her that she had taken bichlo-
ride of mercury tablets by mistake,
the coroner's jury which held an In
quest over her remains today decided
that she had died from heart trouble
superinduced by an affiiction of the
kidneys.
rather sensational feature of the
inquest was the testimony Of the dead
woman's brother, John Tierney, of PSI
Boutwell, street, San Francisco, who
denied that his sisters name was
Sanguinetti or that she had ever been
married.
He also told the jury that his sister
had made her will several weeks prior
to her death and left it in his keeping.
She made him her sole heir, according 6
to his testimony.
Tierney's wife contradicted his testi-
mony regarding the dead woman's mar
riage, asserting that she had married
J. Sanguinetti, a bar tender, when she
was but IA years old and had lived
with him at intervals until short time
before her death.
The dead woman left an insurance
policy for $685. small bank account
and some articles of Jewelry.
The verdict as to the cause of the
woman's death was based on the testi-
mony of the physicians who attended
her, whoNdeclared that even If she had
taken the mercury tablets as she
claimed they did not cause her DEATH
No explanation was offered by Tier
ney for the conflict between his testi-
mony and that of his wife concerning
his sisters marital condition.
