She did remember to ask for the bill
and she was gravely presented with
a slip calling for four strings, one key
and a coat of varnish, total $3.50.
AS soon as her work was done she

play, and on Monday the violin went
to school with her. She made arrange

to Sinton's. She threw open

gone. l knew how much you wanted

that it would take several days for the
glue to set. You can have it Satur-
day"
Saturday morning"
He just said Saturday. But, Elnora,
you've got to promise me that you will
leave it here or in town, and not let
your mother get hint Of it. 1 don't
know what she'd do"
Uncle Wesley can bring it here I'M"
til Monday. Then l will take it to
school so that l can practice at noon.
oh, 1 don't know how to thank you"
Elnora lived by the minute until Sat-
urday, when, contrary to his usual
custom, Sinton went to town in the
forenoon, taking her along to buy
BONE groceries. Sinton drove straight
to the music store and asked for the
violin he had left to be mended
In its new coat of varnish, with new
keys and strings, it looked greatly like
any other violin to Sinton, but to FL
nora 1t was the most beautiful instru-
ment ever made and a priceless treas
ure. She held it in her arms, touched
the strings softly and then she drew
the bow across them in whispering
measure. She had no time to think
what remarkably good bow it was

leather case might have impressed her

been in a state to question anything.

To Prevent Fading.

The fading of colored articles is
due often, not to the washing, but to
the ironing. Irons that are too hot
are used directly on the material, and
this will more quickly fade delicate
colors than any amount Of. washing.
BE sure that the article is evenly
dampened and that the iron is only
not enough to smooth the wrinkles
properly by firm, even pressure and
YOU will have no more trouble from
fading. Skirts should never be ironed
across the cores, but up and down,
otherwise the fit Of the garment will
be ruined.

WILL REGULATE RATES.
Los Angeles Finds the City Has Nc
Power.

Los Angeles.-Municipal officials
and others who have gone calmly
about making plans on the assump-
tion that the city of Los Angeles
could charge outside communities
for water from the Owens river
aqueduct, now nearing completion,
sustained shock when they read
the address of President John NJ.
Esnelman of the state railroad conf
mission, before the National Municl-
pal League, in which Mr.. Eshelman
declared that water rates could and
would be regulated by the state COM
mission.
This declaration by Eshelman met
decided opposition from Louis r.
Works, former head of the Los An
geles board of public utilities, who
also addressed the Municipal League.
He declared that cities operating
municipality owned utilities would
resist any assumption of power by
state commissions over them, and
said the test in the case of the Los
Angeles aqueduct water would come
in year, when the big 250-mile
ditch is completed

CHICAGO WARNED.
Leader of Zion City Says Judgment
Sure to Fall.

Chicago. Comparison of Sodom
and Gomorrah with Chicago looks
bad for Chicago, according to Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, Zion City leader. Ad-
dressing members of his flock in this
city. he said:
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah
were destroyed, so judgment is going
to fall upon the cities of this land
and upon Chicago first. There is
only one city that will not be de-
stroyed. That is Zion City. COM
mand all of you to leave this city
of wickedness and come to Zion.
Voliva announced that he would
order closed all branch churches of
his faith and that all of his follow
ers over the country would be callea
to Zion City. There are churches of
Voliva's faith in Cleveland, San Fran
cisco, Melbourne, Yokohama and
London. The branch church at Hong
Kong was closed recently and the
elder and many of his flock moved to
Zion City. Voliva has not fixed the
date for the general catastrophe.

The position for which Miss Kel-

"One thing l would try to do
would be to wipe out the slums, for
it is there that sickness, disease and
immortality are born.
THE only way to bring about any
permanent Improvement is to pre-
vent rather than to alleviate. When
the children are born blind, we have
institutions for them. But how
much better it would be to be able to
prevent blindness
81 would go so far as to say that
poverty is the fundamental cause of
almost every evil. Poverty is a hor-
rible thing. 1t is the cause of crime.
disease and suffering of all kinds.
Poverty drives people to vice. l am
convinced that that is true, rather
than the old-fashioned theory that
vice drives people to poverty.
why do the slums exist? They
exist because they pay dividends to
those who >own them, better divi-
dends than improvements would pay.
Yet l am convinced that the
world is growing better. There are
more healthy, happy children today
than ever before, though there are
still far too few.
There are more schools and col
leges, more hospitals and institu-
tions for the blind, the crippled and
the deformed. There are more intel
ligent women than ever before, but
