"a LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. IL
A few public-spirited women oil
10 Angeles,have entered upon the
task of demonstrating to the city
government that the expenditure
of a. small portion of the city
funds for feeding poor children In
the public schools is hard-headed
economy. !.
The women have organized what
they call the Civic Assn. and have
opened penny kitchen at one OF
the public schools. Mrs. Oliver e.
Bryant Is the president.
ITO be certain we were right, y
says Mrs. Bryant, 1--WE made a
house-to-house canvass, and the
were appalling. IN
home after home we found that
the children were dependent for
their noon meal on the penny
kitchen, for it was impossible for
the family to afford more than two
meals a day."
While Mrs. Bryant was talking
in the kitchen the children filed in
and took their seats before the
bowls of good vegetable
soup and bread.

SEQ If you can tell which OF the
children have had no breakfast.
Five children ate four dishes OF

their manners wee good. 1t de-

had a mouthful of food till they sat
down to that table.
"A man in this ueighborhood
who gets $1.25 a day is rich," con-
tinued Mrs. Bryant. 1--WE discov-
cred that in our canvass"
There is a god deal said now
a-days about pauperizing. These
children are not being pauperized.
They pay their penny gladly and
many of them are doing work to
earn that penny. Some of the boys
get a little ahead and pay sc or so
in advance. Such an arrangement
encourages thrift and give the
idea of saving with a definite pur-
pose, something which most Of
these little folks have never heard
OF before"

Tell Of Big
Things For
Tacoma

Tacoma's Commercial Club has
1000 members and 200 of them
sat down to the annual banquet
last night.
After George II. Stone had jol-
lied the crowd and Ingersoll, Dege,
Mccormack, Grafton and others
had engaged in oratorical avia-
ton, II. H. Martin told what is up.
The Canadian Pacific is going
to put Tacoma on the map and
about May will establish steamer
service with Vancouver and Vic
toria.
Martin said that a big creosot-
ing plant will shortly start on the
tideflats. Other things in the air
are auto service to the mountains,
a big tourist hotel, harbor and
waterway improvements.
Secretary o. F. Cosper urged a
to get 200 new members

Methods Very Simple.
The methods of the robbers
were simple, but very effective.
Directly above the vault was a
room in which a bank clerk slept,
but the clerk was away on a vaca-
tion at the time. Entrance to the
vault was effected through this
room. The vault was blown with
nitro-glycerine and an electrical
connection. No silver was taken
and rolls of 81 and bills were
left untouched. Gold and bills of
large denominations were packed
in pillow slips and other bedding.
Twenty thousand in gold was
found under a bridge by work
man and $25, 900 in paper by the
Polish newsboy. The four men
escaped in an automobile.
Then began the chase for the
alleged robbers. Dean left a

expressed it. Coming first to Sc
