madly through the crowded public
square on a call to West Third
street, where a sailor had been hit
by an automobile, an ambulance
plunged into a throng of streetcar
patrons, killing Mrs. Ferdinand

by the mobbing Of the ambulance
driver, Charles Garman, who was
saved by squad of police, caused
the death of the automobile victim,

dying also, his injuries being critical

ORIGIN OF "DoPE I"
Many Uses Foreign to the Original
Meaning.

When Mr.. Roosevelt dug from the
ash heap of provincialism the word
''frazzle" and applied it in an observ-
alton that soon became verified pre-
diction, he attracted the attention of
scholars and was hailed as kind of
benefactor. When, score of years
ago, a Northwest Missourian pulled
the word dope" from it's isolated
moorings and placed it where it has
been equipped with more different
meanings, perhaps, than any other
word in "the language" he became
equally benefactor, but has ever re-
sung"
The word dope" is a name that
was originally applied to axle grease.
1t was probably coined by some in
dividual who regarded 1t an outrage
that the new lubricant should have Il
longer name than the tar" which it
supplanted. Possibly, too, doping
also came into use in describing the
act Of applying the article. Indeed,
excessive applications of anything
might thus have been designated.
These, however, were certainly the
only definitions and derivatives of
the word known until its introduc-
tion into other circles by the North
west Missourian mentioned.
The circumstances under which the
word was reminted no doubt accounts
to some extent, at least, for the fact
that it's author has remained un-
known, while his fame is still unsung.
1t was at a sanitarium that the word
was given new meaning, to which
constant additions are still being
made. A bottle of medicine used bore
simply the information that "a tea
spoonful must be taken every two
hours when awake" and 1t was while
discussing fidelity to these "direc-
| tions" that the lack of name for the
remedy was noticed. Then it occurred
to the Missourian to refer to it as
dope word which he had heard
n typical backwoodsman use in the
sense above mentioned. The name
became popular at once, and when
new patients came they took 1t up
and innocently betrayed it to the fac
ulty. An effort was made to find the
curprit, and the use of the name was
forbidden under the penalty of dis.
missal. 1t stuck, however, and was
soon carried throughout the country.
1t is not surprising, perhaps, that
the name was soon applied to the
disease as well as to the remedy
designed for its cure. In fact, as has
been stated, 1t has taken on many
new definitions and is used in nearly
every vein of human expression, be-
ing a handle which fits widely varied
sentences, and affording short cut
to really important information on
numerous subjects.
1t Is not claimed, of course, that the
incident was an inspiration, nor did
the recaster of the word dream that
he was enriching the language. 1t
seems proper, however, that this In
cident, given on the authority of one
who has watched the flight of the
word into the upper realms of popul
ar speaking, should be made known.

"On the contrary, 1t was that. by

undertake to compel the company to
yield to the demand for arbitration

STYLISH APARTMENTS
NEAR ST. JAMES PARK
Spanish Renaissance Structure
to Contain 1876 Rooms Mod
ern Ideas introduced

Architects Eisen & Son are prepar-
ing plans of a three-story apartment
house of Spanish Renaissance style,
containing 1876 rooms divided in TO
two, three and four-room apartments,
to be built for Harrison Heinrich on
West Adams street, opposite st. James
park The building will be 264 feet
long and varying from fifty feet to
seventy five feet wide. 1t will be built
eighty feet back from the street, and
will be unique and different from the
general run of apartment houses in
that it does not in any case occupy
on either side the whole lot but is
surrounded to a great extent by wind
ing walks, summer houses and gar
dens, allowing features which are not
as yet incorporated in other apart
ment houses.
Most of the first-story apartments
have direct separate entrances out into
the gardens. An entrance will be OBJ
tanned at the rear from Twenty-sev-
enth street for the accommodation of
all tradespeople and shipping, thus
keeping the front part entirely free
from all use excepting that of the
guests. Automatic electric passenger
elevators, steam heat, sleeping porches.
disappearing beds, dining room, ball
room, reading and smoking rooms. to-
gether with reception hall and parlors,
will be provided.

POET AND AUTHORIZES
IN NEW ROLE ON COAST
Ida Eckert-LaWrenCe Elected as
Secretary of Water Company.
Will Build a Bungalow

Ida Eckert- Lawrence, the author of
DAY Dreams" and otner poems and
short stories, and commissioner to the
Paris exposition in 1900, has been elect
ed treasurer of the Potrero Heights
Water company.
Mrs. Lawrence Connor recently pur-
chased a tract of land in the newly
opened Mesaland on the Lucky"
Baldwin acres, which was sold in
tracts of ten, twelve and twenty acres
each, and the new buyers formed a
corporation for the purpose of buying
and establishing a water company to
supply this land with irrigation water.
Mrs. Lawrence Connor expects to
build a rambling bungalow on her
place in the near future, and will set
to oranges and lemons and other
fruits. The view is superb. On a
clear day Old Badly looms up with its
crest of snow, and beyond the walnut
orchards and the alfalfa fields of the
San Gabriel valley lie the pretty towns
of Monrovia, Azusa Glendora, Alham-
bra and others with the grand range
of mountains behind them.
The trail to Mount Wilson is clearly
seen zigzaging along the mountain
side. and the great conservatory on
Mount Lowe with it's white dome glis-
tening in the sun seems but a short
mile away.
The san Gabriel boulevard with its
'good roads" now being put in by the
county, will traverse the length of the
Petrero Heights tract and will pass
the acres owned by the DAY Dreams"
author, and here she will spend many
hours with the muse and write of the
beauty and grandeur of our sunny
Southern California.
Mrs. Lawrence-Connor is the wife
of James K. Connor, secretary of the
Pioneer Investment and Trust com
pany. .

GOLDEN STATE REALTY
COMPANY FORCES AHEAD
History Is One of Remarkable
Progress-LeaderS as Fiscal
and Realty Agents

What progressiveness and a well
directed energy will do in making
local history was never better illus
trated than in the case of one of the
foremost of our long established and
extensive realty operators, the Golden
state Realty company, whose offices
are on the ground floor of the Crosse
building at 12o West Sixth street.
During its successful career the
company has placed upon the market
many subdivided tracts in and around
Los Angeles and in the San Joaquin
valley. besides being fiscal agent for
various enterprises. The Golden State
Realty company is perhaps best
known as the founder of the city of
Watts, and it's clients in these tracts
alone number in the thousands.
Through its campaigns of publicity
Watts sprang up like a mushroom,
and a city was reared out of farm.
Something like half a dozen years ago
what is now the city of Watts was
nothing but farm land. 1t can be well
imagined what it has meant for the
wage Garner to be able to buy an un-
restricted town lot for less than 500
on the then unheard of terms of 81
down and 81 a week, and build himself
a temporary home within fifteen min
utes' car ride of Los Angeles.

with an extensive subdivided acreage
in the San Joaquin valley known as
the Atwell Island tract.
The company reports sales of over
S125 900 for the past year on its Atwel
Island tract in Tulare and Kings coun-
ties, which bring this tract within
about 200 acres of the closing. out
point. so far as the selling is con-
ceTned. 1t continues an interested
party, as the unusual feature of this
proposition is that the purchaser is
having his land cultivated and farmed
by the selling company on a profit
sharing basis without any added cost
to himself, so that it brings him an
immediate return while he is paying
for the land in small monthly Install
ments.
