Another pretty and ingenious
timepiece, was "a clock | saw in one
of the public gardens in Chicago. 1t
was claimed as being one OF the most
novel, as well as one OF the most
correct, clocks in the world.
Nearly score OF different kinds
of flowers were planted in 4 circular
plot, the time of day being told by
the opening of the petals. At pre-
cisely 2 A. NJ. the petals of a morning
glory. a pretty flower with heart
shaped leaves opened out. The
hours of three, four, five and six
were told by the petals OF the Ruth
land Beauty. oyster plant, poppy
and bitter-sweet respectively. Al
II noon the beautiful Passion flower
opened, and from that hour a jump
was made to 2 O'Clock. as no flower
had been discovered that opened pre-
cisely at L.
The last hour told by this clock
was 8. The night-blooning cereus
opened at p. NJ, and then the clock
ceased work.
The principal beauty of the time
piece was that it required no oiline
or winding. This. alone was q nov

There is undoubtedly an age in
colors. The clear blues, reds. pinks

youths alone should wear them.

be our lot. Therefore, gather We
rosebuds while ye may" and glory in
all the fresh, beautiful colors of youth.
It is not one that is too bright, too
loud for young girl; it is the COM

this be remembered when replenish-

those already got, fewer mistakes
will be made, and the number OF per

her belongings. for she. and she
alone. can do them justice.

JUDGE WARNS LAWYERS
OF DELAY IN KING CASE
Inquiry Into Competency of Wife
Must Be Hurried to Pre-
vent Postponement

Unless the hearing in the proceedings
instituted by NJ. Adrian King to de-
termine the competency of his wife,
Fannie Briggs Carr INing, founder of
the Carr company, manufacturers of
toilet preparations. is ended today, it
is likely that Judge Rives of the pro-
bate department of the superior court,
before whom the matter is being
heard, will continue it until some time
in January.
Mrs. Gertrude Young, placed on the
stand in behalf of Mr.. King, in whose
office she is employed, and who brought
the present action after Mrs. King had
filed a suit for divorce, told of the al
legged refusal of the wife to walk with
her. She also declared that Mrs. King
had called her a "hussy without
cause.
The attorneys questioned Mrs. Young
regarding alleged differences in the
testimony given Thursday and yester-
day, Mrs. Kings lawyer asking her
if she had not refreshed her memory
overnight regarding the cruelty Wnlch
King saws his wife showed to him.
b. Castillo of rampico, Mexico, was
called to the stand by Kings attor-
new. but he declared that he never
had seen any evidence of Mrs. King
alleged hypochrondiac qualities nor
her aVerred cruelty to her husband.
Judge Ilives told the attorneys yes
terdav that he thought they were con-
suming too much time in offering tes-
timony and in questioning witnesses
and intimated that a long continuance
NAV be taken unless the proceedings
are concluded by noon today.

WANTS MORE POWER FOR
ARROYO BRIDGE WORK
Board of Public Works Demands
Ruling on Right to Build
Outside of City

Reluctant to act unless it has the
proper legal authority, the board of
public works yesterday held up the in
struction of the city council that the
city engineer confer with other engin-
GERS interested in the. construction of
the bridge across the Arroyo Seco at
Pasadena avenue. The board first
wants the city attorney to say the city
has the right to pay one-fourth the
cost of the construction work before it
takes part in the plan.
The bridge is not in the city in any
part, and former rulings have been to
the effect that the city has no power
to pay for. construction work outside
its jurisdiction.
When the South Los Angeles main
sewer was built through the city of
Vernon it was necessary for the legis-
lature to pass an enabling act. 1t may
be necessary for similar action in this
case. The board is not in any way
opposed to the concrete bridge, but
wants to be sure it is right.

BRlGANDS DERAIL TRAIN
AND ARE POORLY REPAID
Notorious Thieves Choose Wrong
Time for Daring Robbery

MILAN, Nov. 11.-Sixteen Sardlsian
brigands, under the leadership of the
notorious chieftain Tolsana, held up
a train in the wild, mountainous coun-
try near Ogliastra, but through want
of foresight succeeded in seizing upon
booty to the value of only $1,000
The train in question runs, every
Sunday morning from Cagliari the
capital, to Tortoli, on the east coast,
for the purpose of distributing at all
stations along the line bags of money
containing the weekly wages destined
for the local staff. Luckily the bril-
gands had prepared the attack 100
miles distant from the starting point
when the bulk of the bullion had al
ready been delivered.
The train was derailed and over
turned into a hollow. Masked men
stood over the travelling staff with
loaded rifesl threatening to blow out
the brains OF anybody who dared stir.
Meanwhile two of their number looted
the luggage van and passenger car.
Disappointed at so small a haul. tho
brigands stripped the staff of their
watches, chains, rings and pocket
money which, however, the chieftain
ordered to be restored to them.
A squadron of mounted carabinieri
was hastily sent to scour the region,
but met with no success.

Young recently brought against T.
Spellacy in the superior court for
more than $2,000,000 alleged to be due
because of funds invested with Spell

lures, was filed yesterday with the
county clerk.
In the stipulation it is agreed that

FIVE OF 7 CONSOLIDATION
COMMISSIONERS SELECTED

OF the seven men who are to con-
stitute the consolidation commission
all but two have been selected and
have agreed to serve as commissioners.
The mayor has asked two others to
serve and is to have a conference
with them today. If they agree to
act he will be ready to announce
the commissioners this afternoon.
While the mayor will not tell the
names of the commissioners until he
has them all ready, it is understood
that three of them are attorneys who
previously have had experience in
consolidation work and the other four
are prominent laymen who also have
had more or less experience.
The commission is to act as a CEN
trail committee to which committees
from the various small cities and por-

PASADENA MOVES TO ASK
FOR OWENS RIVER WATER
Water Committee of Board of
Trade Breaches Subject
of Buying Supply

PASADENA, Nov. 11.-Apparently
another step toward asking Les Ange-
les to furnish Pasadena with Owens
river water was taken this evening by
the water committee Of the local board
of trade at its semi-monthly meeting.
Numerous other questions, including
consolidation of the local companies,
condemnation and municipal ownership
of the present supply and the acquiring
of food waters from the Big Tejunga,
were discussed at length.
No conclusions were reached other
than that steps should be taken to
have laws passed enabling the forma-
ton of a water district similar to the
metropolitan system of Boston, where
in surrounding cities are formed into a
water municipality" with governing
board for water matters only, the cities
preserving their identity and having
power to bond themselves equally for
an equal distribution of water.
1.-THE sooner we provide sufficient wa
ter for 10000 people, and the world
learns it, the sooner will be have the
900 people," declared Chairman H.
w. Magee Of the committee. Look at
Los Angeles for example" he contln-
ued; lit is building for the future.
Pasadena must own its own water. l
don't care how or where we get it, but
we must have a good water system"
ERNEST H. Lockwood advocated ap-
rointing a committee to approach the
Los Angeles water board in a broad
minded spirit, with the idea Of give and
take.
1--WE have the sunshine and climate" ,"
declared Lockwood. But what we
reed for this city Of homes is not only
water. but the best water there is.
Flood water from the Tejunga may be
all right, but I don't believe it is the
best. The question of having an abun-
dance of the best water is of more i'm
portance to us than preserving our
identity"
There were nineteen of the twenty
five committeeman present. Without
taking a formal vote the committee
adjourned to meet in two weeks, when
it is expected definite figures will be
presented to determine whether it is
better to proceed with the idea Of ac-
ouiring a local supply or negotiating in
earnest for owens river water

there's one BEST place TO buy it-and that
