NEW COUNTRY CLUB FOR
LONG BEACH SPORTSMEN
George H. Bixby Donates Fine
Property at Los Cerritos
to Ell Rodeo Club

The first step was taken Monday in
of the finest country clubs in Southern
California, when George H. Bixby, a
capitalist of Long Beach, donated his
beautiful country place at Los Cerritos
to the Ell Rodeo club of Long Beach
to be used as a club house and grounds.
AS soon as the deed to the property
was delivered to the members of Ell
RodeO, a committee on incorporation
was appointed and it was announced
that the club would be incorporated at
once and work on improving both the
house and grounds of its new home
will begin at an early date.
The site of the new country club
is on the hills back of Long Beach, and
commands a beautiful view of the sur
rounding countdy and the Pacific. 1t
is within a few minutes ride of the
city on the Pacific Electric line, and
when improved will make an ideal
location for an organization such as
Ell Rodeo.
The club itself is composed of mem
bers of the younger set in Long Beach
and has been in existence about two
years. Hitherto it has occupied quar-
ters in the city, but recently it's MEM
bers felt that the best interests of the
club demanded both a larger home and
more adequate grounds for outdoor
sports and exercise. For this reason
they began looking for suitable
grounds for new building. The Ger
ritos site was mentioned, but owing to
it's value the members did not feel able
to secure it at this time. Mr.. Bixby,
hearing of their desires, generously
came forward and gave the club full
and complete title to the house on the
property and as much of the grounds
as might be needed to build tennis
courts, golf links and grounds fer other
lines of sport.
1t is now the intention of the mem
bers of Ell Rodeo to bond the club for
sufficient funds to properly improve
the club house and the grounds. A
large reception hall and ballroom will
be installed i'm the present building
and additional sleeping rooms added.
The plan is to make their new home as
comfortable and up to date as possible,
and work to attain this will be started
as soon as possible.
Besides tennis and golf the club will
devote much of it's time to yachting,
swimming and other forms of aquatic
sports. There is at the present time a
membership list of siXty-five in the
club, and this undoubtedly will be in
creased many times before the new
home is ready for occupancy.

WEST POINTERS RESENT
CORSET-WEARING STORY
Retired Officer Explains That the
Tight Uniform Gave Rise
to the Joke

WASHINGTON, Aug. al have
often heard a question as to whether
West Pointers wore corsets. 1t is alb
surd in a way, because should any et-
Terminate youngster resort to such a
thing it would be impossible to keep
the affair q secret, and, once known,
his school life would become burden
to him on account of the endless
amount of criticism he would receive
from his fellows. He would be made
the laughing stock of the school, am
would soon find himself the possessor
of any number of effeminate nick
names that~would CRATE upon his ears
in any but a pleasant manner.
"It is true" continued the old soldier,
who was no other. than Col X. B. Col
Inns, a retired army officer, in discus
sion of West Pointers, that many
West Pointers acquire a figure of per-
fection of symmetry and a carriage
the acme of manly grace, but these are
due not to any ingenious appliances
but to the systematic drills and eXer-
cises that make the cadet to a certain
extent an athlete. At the outset these
young fellows are put through what
are called the setting up exercises
their object being to straighten the
bodv and develop the chest. One might
suppose that 1t would require great
amount of such exercise to make any
marked showing, but three long hours
of such exercise daily will soon pro-
duce beneficial results in the most
stopped forms.
"The cadet uniform is also a great
helm in this direction. The dress coat
is tight, very tight. The shoulders are
heavily padded in order to give them a
square effect. The chest is made thick,
so that there will be no danger of
wrinkling. And in size a new dress
coat seems always to be designed for
a boy several sizes smaller than the
one who is to wear it. A new dress
coat, in fact is always a source OF
suffering to it's owner. When he first
puts it on it buttons readily about the
neck. but seems to lack about six
inches at the waist. The owner may
souirm and wriggle, and attempt to
reduce his waist to a minimum circum-
ference, but his maiden efforts are
never sufficient to button the new
dress coat.
Experience is great teacher
though, and the young fellow laugh
jngIv requests one or two of his friends
to lend their assistance, and he finally
succeeds in buttoning the coat. All
this for the sake of Jocks; comfort mas
no place in the makeup of a west
Pointer; it's discipline and looks

WATER WITH CHARCOAL
PRESERVES CUT FLOWERS

Choose flowers that are not quite
fully out and. cut them early in the
morning with long stems. Arrange
them not too close together in a vase
deep enough to immerse two-thirds
of the stems. BY previously putting
some pieces of charcoal in the vase
the water can be kept sweet, but in
any case it should be changed every
five or six days. Keep the vase al
ways full of water. Keep the flowers
in cool but not draughty place.
Certain flowers do much better if
a small portion of the stem is cut
off, especially if they have been car
ried long way, and certain num-
ber are better for slicing the stems
up so as to let them absorb the
water more easily. This is especially
so with flowers that are apt to go
off quickly, like the hellebores.-Gar-

Hive Destroyed by Painters, and
Congregation Loses $500

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Frederick E.
Blunden and Joseph Kelly, while paint
ing the First Reformed church at Tar
rytown, stumbled on a bees nest
"Stung" said Kelly Here, too
replied Blunden, but We'll fix them. -
The blow lamp was brought out and
its flames were turned on the nest. In
stantly the church was set on fire.
Soon it was beyond the control of the
two men and the fire department was
called out.
The North Tarrytown fire fighters
used plenty of water and the church
got well drenched. The Rev. John. K.
Allen, who lives back of the building,
was on hand, and he was greatly per-
turbed for fear the old edifice, the first
offspring of the Old Dutch Church of
Sleepy Hollow, would be destroyed.
The damage is only $500.
Blunden accomplished his object in
getting rid of the bees at a cost of

NOT TO AWAIT TIME LIMIT
Hopes That Complete Rest Will Re-
store Him to Full Strength.
HUGHES FOR CHIEF JUSTICE
Apparently the Governor Has the
Field to Hinself-Mr. Taft Will
Be Deliberate in Filling Places.

MAGNOLIA. Mass. July 29.-Associate
Justice William Fl. Moody of the United
States Supreme Court has definitely
stated that he will announce his retire
ment from the bench prior to the expira-
ton of the enabling act passed in his be-
half by the last Congress. This act ex-
pires Tie middle of November
In order that the President might be
relieved of any embarrassment due to
conflicting reports of Justice Moodys in
tentions. it is said that the jurist some
time ago informed Mr. Taft of his pur-
pose to quit the bench. The President
has twice been at Magnolia to see Justice
Moody since he came to Beverly. and on
both occasions urged him to take all the
time he desired in making up his mind
Justice Moody replied that his decision
was irrevocable.
Relies on Complete Rest.
Justice Moody's health is improving,
but he feels he will not be strong enough
to assume the arduous duties Of the COM
ing term, which is to be taken up with
the most serious questions that probably
ever have been submitted to the tri-
bunal.. He will retire in the hope that
complete rest for while. devoid of all
worries as to his future status, may re-
store him to full strength. President
Taft cordially expresses this hope
The President now faces the RESPONSE
bility Of appointing two associate justices
of the Supreme Court and designating
Chief Justice
Hughes for Chief Justice.
Advices from Beverly are to the effect
that the President has not changed his
attitude with respect to the chief Justice
ship Cow Hughes still appears to have
the field practically to himself
Mr.. Taft undoubtedly will take the full
time between now and the meeting of
Congress in December in making his sc &C.
tons.
Whenever the subject of Supreme Court
appointments is brOached to the President
he reiterates the statement he made in
a st. Louis speech last spring that he re-
CARDS the designation of Supreme Court
justices as the most solemn of his duties.
Mr.. Taft already has given considerable
thought to the two new vacancies. He
has a group Of men in mind. and after
weighing all the circumstances will finally
pick out the two whom he considers best
suited from every point of view. In the
meantime, however. he is not adverse
to hearing the views of the leading bar
associations and lawyers throughout the
country, as he believes the subject cannot
be too fully considered and thrashed
over.
