the expiration of our terms"
When the good-natured laughter
that followed the presidents yelled al
lusion to the recall the members of
the outgoing council has escaped had
subsided, Councilman Dromgold moved
the council adjourn sine die, and at
11:5S yesterday morning the old coun-
Gil passed out of existence.
At noon H. j. Lelande, city clerk,
called the new council to oTder. The
members of the new council had sat
beside the members of the outgoing
body all through the last session of
the old council and as soon as the
new was called to order they took
their seats according to the alphabet
cal arrangement of their names. j. ].

is the rollcall of the new council.
New Council Organized
The city clerk acted as temporary
chairman and opened nominations for
president of the council. r. M. Lusk
placed the name of Judge Works in
nomination, speaking of his services
on the superior and supreme benches
and of his record in the army. This
nomination was seconded by J. j. An
drews and as there were no other
nominations the clerk was instructed
to cast the unanimous ballot of the
council for Judge Works for presi-
dent. Lusk and Andrews were ap-
pointed a committee to escort Judge
Works to the chair. When he had as
sumed the presidency Judge Works
said:
Gentlemen: I thank you for the
honor you have conferred upon me
in making me the president of this
council. / will endeavor, as your
presiding officer. to maintain and
enforce the rules of the council,
but with fairness and impartialty
and a just appreciation of the
rights of each member and of the
public.
1 hope and expect each of you
to assist and support me in the
effort to make this a dignified and
orderly deliberate body, worthy
of the respect and confidence of
the people by whom we have been
placed in Office and all others haV-
ing business with us.
The city has the right to expect
this of us, and 1 sincerely hope
that this expectation may not be
disappointed.
The city has right to expect
much more of US than this.
Good Government Promised
We have been elected to office by
those of our fellow citizens who
stand for good, clean, economical
and efficient government. They
have been promised in advance
that the new administration of city
affairs now coming into power will
give the city such a government.
It is a grave responsibility.
The city has great interests at
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-04

voluntarily taken upon ourselves
great responsibilities.
1t is for us to meet those re-
sponsibilities unflinchingly courag-
eously and with the firm purpose
of giving the city the very best
service that lies within us.
To render such service will call
for watchfulness, integrity and
promptness on our part. Watch
fulness to protect the city's inter-
ests, integrity of purpose in the
administration of its affairs and
promptness in the performance Of
our duties. To be late at the meet
ings of the council or of commit
tees is a breach of duty to the city,
violation of the rules of the
council and an injustice to mem
bers that are prompt in attendance.
I shall expect every member to
be in his seat at the time appointed
to call the council to order, and
that they will aid me in every way
in the dispatch of all business that
may come before us; and I am
sure, from my knowledge of the
members of the council. that 1
shall not be disappointed.
Councilman Lusk reported the rules
the new council had prepared. The
most important change from the old
rules is that the council will meet at
o'clock in the morning instead of 10
o'clock, and that they will be there on
time This rule cannot be effective
at the meeting today and the council
will meet at 10 o'clock as usual be-
cause there is an ordinance in force
fixing the meeting time for the council
at 10 o'clock The new council yes
terday instructed the city attorney to
present an ordinance this morning
changing the meeting time to 10
o'clock.

ENTERrAlNs OLD COUNCIL

Following the adjournment of the
council yesterday, President Pease led
all the members of the retiring body
to- I4evy's, where in a private dining
room he entertained them at well ap-
pointed luncheon. No speeches were
made, but there was a flow of good
spirits and an underlying current of
regret, for those nine men had shoul-
dered heavy responsibilities together
for three years, and they realized il
was probably the last time they would
ever be together.

BANDEAu MATCHES THE GOWN
Many materials May Be Employed,
But That Fact Must Always
Be Remembered.

There is a new bandeau made for
the hair. Of cloth of silver ribbon
hand-paintedi. with peacock eyes and
studded with small crystals.
These ornamental f1lets are now a
part of the gown or costume.
Cloth of silver and gold go to their
making. All the vari-colored crystals
that the shops offer are used; bullion
laces are popular. Hand-painted gauze
ribbons, studded with stones, have
come into fashion, and lattice work OF
gold and silver wire, strung with crys,
tails and turquoises, has become q
favorite.
1t can be easily seen at that such d.
versity of choice gives woman a
chance to match up her costume.
Often the same trimming is used
mounted in some artistic way that 1t
may look well to the hair.
There is a bandeau that has re-
ceived good deal OF attention, made
of cloth-of-gold ribbon, on which are
painted peacock eyes, trimmed with
tiny green stones. This is about
three inches wide, with the ends
slightly plated and finished with a
small oblong buckle like barrette.
There Is another cloth-of-silver rib
bon which is threaded with baroque
pearls. and hand-painted symbols in

DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought Things to
Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general.
Jerome S. McWade. the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at recent
dinner: T1 rIf
"At the approach Of Valentine day
last year offered prize of five dol
lars to the little boys OF my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one Of the stories here,
and am going to read 1t to you"
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother was rich toy dealer.
"The poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"a villain then offered him $50 II he
would become drunkard.
THE poor man wanted the money to
get married with. so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"'No, will not become drunkard,
even for great riches
"On the way home he found bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

San Francisco.-After 25 years Of
experiments that have already brought
him closer to the mystery Of the cre1
alton of life than any other man, Prof.
Jaques Loeb will soon leave the Uni
versity of California for the east,
where he will devote his entire time
to research work at the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research.
Prof. Loeb. who Is a native OF Ger
many and received degrees at Strass-
burg and Wurzburg before he came
TO America, achieved worldwide fame
In 1902 while professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago, when he an
nounced the successful outcome of ex-
periments in artificially fertilizing the
egg of sea urchins and producing l:fe
In that manner.
He also proved that hearts of anil

as they do in life by being placed in a
solution of common salt. and that the
addition of other chemicals stopped
the organs beating.

have kept him constantly at work in

said:

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion Of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however. use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves. their children and the
farm hands. 81
