CORSETS ALL RIGHT,
SAYS NOTED PROFESSOR
Member of Faculty of Harvard Comes
to the Rescue of Women Who
Seek to Be ShapeIy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb 13-Prof.
r. w. Lovett has qualified for the
chair of corSetry at Harvard, where
he was already engaged in the medical
department. Another learned professor
at the seat of diversified wisdom, DR..
Maynard Ladd, delivered a dissertation
on babies, sucking bottles and scien-
tif1c feeding of infants, and handed out
a few thoughts for DR.. William L. Por-
ter, also a Harvard wiseman, on the
latter's theory that time and money
spent on puny infants had better be
devoted to saving the strong ones.
The women will call DR.. Lovett a
dear, for he said that corsets-of the
right kind are helpful under present
civilization, declaring that certain
physicians could employ their time to
better advantage by telling women
which kind of corsets to wear instead
of condemning all corsets. The pro-
fessor Of corsetry doomed no particular
brand of stays, so those who want his
secret must write him. He did mem
tion "old fashioned as against the
new-fangled so-called "hygienic waists"
and "health corsets." He said that q
good corset will prevent or cure three
fundamental deformities-bowed back,
fat chest and bulging abdomen-and
correct weakness and poor carriage
due to the distorting pressure of
clothes
DR.. Ladd said that statistics showed
that the babies of the tenements and
those of the aristocratic Back Bay
started on equal terms as to constitu-
tional vigor and that the survival of
the fittest babies, physically speaking,
are those that receive the best care
after birth.

CEMETERY ADVERTISING
PROTESTED BY CITIZENS

Residents of the hill section extend
ing west from Elysian park, overlook
ing the beautiful San Fernando valley,
are indignant and registering many
protests against the action of the
Forest Lawn cemetery in defacing one
of the hills at the entrance of the Ver-
Glendale, with an unsightly advertise
exploiting the cemetery.
Enormous letters, composing the
words Forest Lawn cemetery" have
been cut in the face of the hillside and
filled with white substance that can
be seen for many miles, This hillside
is just back of Glendale and can easily
be read from Elysian park and the sur
rounding country, spelling the whole
beautiful valley by it's boldness.
The San Fernando valley, as seen
from the Elysian hills, is one of the
most beautiful views in Los Angeles
county, and many beautiful homes have
been erected along the crest of the
hills in order to secure the unusual
view. Looming up in the distance are
the letters which have caused so much
protest.
The citizens of that vicinity are plan
ming to make a protest before several
of the civic bodies and to the officials
of Los Angeles in an endeavor to have
the unsightly sign removed. That it
will injure that section Is the belief of
the residents who do not wish 10 face
a ghostly sign of distant cemetery in
their unsurpassed view of the valley
and mountains.

CHARGE OF GRAFT
COLORADO SAID TO HAVE LOST
$4,000 A YEAR
ONLY FIFTH OF RECEIPTS AC
COUNTED FOR
Stenographer's Confession Exposes
Alleged System Used in the De-
partment Which Looks
After Boilers

DENVER, Feb. 13.-According to
State Auditor Roady Kenehan and
Governor Shafroth, graft which may
have cost the state $4,000 year has
been unearthed in the office of Alex
ander e. P. Whitney, state boiler in
spector.
The officials who conducted the in
vestigation, which followed the protest.
ing of an expense voucher, turned in
by Whitney, claim that Whitney had
three sets of receipt books, numbered
in duplicate, and that he accounted to
the state only for receipts issued from
one book and put the funds received
from the issue of receipts from the
other two books into his own pocket.
1t is estimated that there are 5000
boilers in the state, which should yield
the state $25, 900 each year. The amount
turned into the state last year Is little
more than $4,000.
The system said to have been used
by Whitney was exposed by the con-
fession of Mrs. Ada r. Tibbits, a
stenographer employed in the boiler in
spectors office. She says similar graft
has been going on for eleven years.
Boilers in Denver are exempt from
inspection by the state inspector, but
Whitney admits having examined boil
ers in Denver and giving state certi-
Gates of inspection to the, owners, and
kept the inspection fee himself.
Whitney will have a hearing before
Governor Shafroth tomorrow.

that of Anthony j. Drexel, jr., to

est to society in Philadelphia and other
cities
The Drexels are as well known in

cities as in Philadelphia, where the
great fortunes of the family were ac-
quired. Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony ]. Drex-
ell and their son and daughter spend

Drexels engagement to an Englishman
Is not surprise. Recently it was re-
ported that her hand had been sought
by Prince Francis Joseph, second son
of the duke and duchess of Braganza,
whose eldest son, Prince Miguel, last
September married Miss Anita Stewart,
cousin of Miss Drexel, but the report
was promptly denied. A year and
half ago gossip had it that Prince
Christopher, sixth son of King George
of Greece was a suitor for Miss Drex-
els hand, and before that it had been
freely whispered in court circles that
Prince Francis of Teck had been anX-
ious to wed the beautiful Philadelphia.
Her fiance is the son and heir of the
earl of Winehilsea, who is also earl of

SHERIFF FINDS
MURDER CLEW
HAMMEL DEVELOPS EVIDENCE
IN MOSS CASE
ARREST OF GUILTY EXPECTED
MoMENTARILY
Old Mission Tragedy Near Solution,
Is Belief of Officials Who Have
Been Working on the
Crime

An arrest Is momentarily expected
in connection with the murder of Will
liam Moss, the young Whittier ranch
er found dead a week ago near Old
Mission, about three miles from Pico
station.
Important clews, which have devel-
oped within the past two days, are
now in possession of Sheriff William
A. Hammel, who is devoting his en-
tire energies in running them down.
Officials of the county Jail last night
were unable to say what the nature of
the evidence is. but they are confident
developments in the murder mystery
are imminent.
Sheriff Hammel left the Jail hurried
1y before daybreak yesterday morning
and remained out all day. The evil
dence which he has in his possession,
1t is understood, compelled him to take
quick action.
The brother of L. Manriequez. who
was held as a witness in the case,
is still being sought
William Moss, the young rancher,
was found dead, lying in a pool of
blood near the road leading past the
Old Mission, six miles from Whittier
early Sunday morning, February 6. He
had been shot through the heart. His
skull had also been crushed. Wit
nesses say he had an alteration that
night with several men in a winery
in that vicinity. They are sure that
his murder was its outcome.
