EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

An interesting, and I think fairly
novel method of collecting money for
any charity, came to my attention the
other day.
Let me tell you about it. in case you
are interested in any charitable en-
terprise and are weary of the stale old
methods of reaching peoples pockets.
A committee Of the people most vi
tally interested is chosen. These peo-
pie are named years." These years
twelve people to act as months
The months" must each give fifty
cents and find four people to act as
weeks
The '@weeks'' must each give twenty
five cents and fine seven people to act
as days"
The days. as perhaps you have
guessed by now, must each give ten
cents and find twenty-four people to
act as hours" The hours are lucky.
All they have to do is give five cents.
At this rate, If each fulfills his part
the sum collected from the activities
which are started by a single year will
be something like four hundred dol
lars. If you wish to know more exact
~ than that you will doubtless find it
an interesting sum in arithmetic. My
| self, must confess that arithmetic is
not my strong point and I only got as
far as the weeks.
In the case of which I heard, there
were twelve years, which made the
sum total almost five thousand, but
this was in a large city and for a char
ity which had a very wide appeal.
If the scheme were tried in small
er community should think one year
would be quite sufficient, as when that
year has found its months, the months
their weeks, the weeks their days, and
the days their hours, the sum total of
people reached will be over seven
thousand.
OF course no sectional or sectarian
charity would be apt to be successful
in such scheme, as it reaches so very
many people that it must be something
of very wide appeal.
I know of church which tried it
and failed, and I don't wonder.
The advantage of the scheme is, of
course, in the large number of people
enlisted in the work; in the fact that
many people who, If asked to give an
indefinite sum, might refuse for fear
they could not give large enough
one, would be perfectly willing to con-
tribute If asked for some small definite
sum like, ten or twenty-five cents, and
in the fact that the work of collecting
the money is SO beautifully systematic
ed-each day reporting to its week,
each week to its month, each month to
its year.
Success to you If you try this
scheme.

Californians VIII Ask the Government
for an Appropriation.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 5.-Because
more than a score of skeletons, scat
tered along his line of travel. served as
a grim signpost of danger and warn
ing of the fate that might overtake
him during trip through the desert
regions of California and Nevada, Geo.
W. Parsons, of this city, has been ag-
itating the need of public protection for
prospectors and travellers who venture
in these waste places This work has
now taken concrete form in an effort
on the part Of the Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce to secure the aid of
congress in the sum of $4,000 to be
expended under the direction of the
secretary of the interior, for the pur-
pose of locating and developing springs
and water holes, and for the erection
of durable monuments near accustomed
lines of travel.
It is intended to cover the general
area of the desert and arid lands of
the United States, informing travellers
as to the location and character of
these sources Of water supply

A Stubborn Cinderella comes to the
Grand for two performances Wednes-
day matinee and night. The Los An
geles Daily Times says:
The Auditorium theater is the home
of what probably is the best all-around
musical show of it's kind that has Wis
tied Los Angeles this year. There are
nearly as many musical comedies as
there are aspiring dramatists; and on
the other hand there are only about as
many excellent musical comedies, as
there are excellent dramatiStS+whichi is
very few. That musical comedy can
rise above the mediocre and enlbody
in it's sensuous and artistic appeals, is
demonstrated in A Stubborn Cinderella,
the name of the musical entertainment
that the Shuberts offer this week at
the Auditorium. The success of a mus
zeal comedy by no means depends upon
the excellence of the libretto or on the
catchiness of its music. A poor show
may be redeemed by the quality of the
performance, and the commendable
show may be ruined by the inadequacy
of the company which presents it. This
latter is often the case. But in A
Stubborn Cinderella we have an ag-
gregation Of players in no way inferior

to the materials they use. Every mem
Der Of the company is talented and
trained to a nicely. One rarely has
the pleasure of seeing a performance
so excellent in every detail The prin-
cipals, without exception, are superla-
lively good in their many and widely
differentiated roles. E. Colt Albertson,
in the part of Mac" the impecunious
but ever-debonair college youth, Gre
ates an almost perfect romantic-com-
edy part. Edwin Burns, who caricatures
that collegiate incubus, a dry tutor is
almost as funny as he is impossible;
while Bobby Wagner. as Fat puts
over a line of comedy stuff that is i'm
mense. The part of ''Col- Hunt" the
Draw and bumptious Scotch guardian
to Lady LESLIE was eaten up by Dan
AGoyles in fine shape. Neil Burns, as
little "Skeeter.'' the uneasy amoreux,
looked the part and acted it admirably.
Linford r. Jefferson, in his dual roles,
was almost as good as they make 'em,
and no more pessimistic parsonage has
yet been produced on a Los Angeles
stage than Edwin Burns, the harmonico
engineer.

SOMETHING FOR HEADACHE

Nothing else aside from money, is
so universally sought for as cure
for headache. Headache powders are
not safe and they give only temporary
relief in any event. The chocolate
coated and capsule-shaped pills call
ed Sherman's Headache Remedy and
sold by all druggists and dealers at
10c and 25s are recommended as the
best headache cure.

MANY HEARINGS HELD
Hundreds of Letters Received Favor

InS the McuSuTt-Nu tnt bVhC
system Is Practicable in This COun-
try.
Washington, May S.-The House
Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads gave extensive hearings both
on the bill introduced by Congress
man d. j. Foster of Vermont provid-
ing for a parcels post on rural routes
and also on the larger proposition of
a general parcels post. During the
preceding month Congressman Weeks
of Massachusetts who is chairman of
the committee received hundreds of
letters from various parts of the
country urging favorable action on
Mr.. Fosters bill.
In the hearings no special opposl-
ton developed to Mr.. Fosters bill.
Such opposition as appeared came
from those who are opposed to a gen
eral parcels post and who feel that
if the Foster bill becomes a law the
results will be satisfactory that there
will be a still stronger cry for gem
eral law The advocates of the gen.
eral parcels post ask for a law which
shall establish low flat rate on par
cells up to eleven pounds. When in
terrogated they almost without ex-
ception express themselves as oppos-
ed to the zone plan, that is parcels
post where the rate of postage shall
depend upon the weight of the pack
ages and the distance they are to be
carried These advocates of a gener-
al parcels post take their idea from
the system in vogue in England and
other European countries where dis
tances are much less than in the
United States. 1t is believed by
many that the only practical system in
this country is that known as the
zone system; for instance there would
be a rate of postage for parcels
which are to be carried not to exceed
two hundred miles, three hundred
miles and so on.
The desire of these advocates eX-
pressed over and over again is for a
system that will provide competitor
of express companies whose charges
they insist are eXtortionate 1t is
urged that little reflection ought tC
show these people that the only sys-
TEN that would provide a competitor
to the express companies and not be
