A LETTER FROM
SHERMAN BAXTER
Los Angeles. Cal.
Anril 10. 1914.

Los Angeles, Cal.
April 10, 1914.
Editor Tribune:--
This Is certainly land of
wonders and the millionaire's para.
dise--the rest of US have to hustle
just the same OF course we can
enjoy the wonderful climate, but
few of us get much chance to en-
joy the wonderful roads that extend
almost everywhere hereabOut. And
the airships-monOplan biplane
and triplane--are getting SO thick
that they will soon have danger
corner signs hung up about all over
the sky.
1t has occurred to me that per-
haps Lynden would like to become
seaport, in view OF the fact Of
the near opening of the Panama
canal. If SO she has only to fol-
low the example of Los Angeles, i. e.
annex Bellingham as suburb, buy
the Hannegan Road as a shoe string
and there you are. In case Bell
ingham objects try Nlaine or Birch
Bay.
Apart from millionaires, who are
mostly transients, the population OF
this city consists of real estate men
and hotel keepers. The principal in
dustry is living off the tourist. A
small minority exc out a precarious
living on IA poultry ranch.
A real estate man offers to show
You some close inside property ut a
reasonable figure. He gets you
in an auto and hits the "Bully-vard"
as fast as he is allowed. trying to
beat the Santa Monica auto-race
record SO as to show you
how CLOSE in" the property lies.
After about two hours of hair
breadth escapes he draws up be-
side mountain. and calmly points
out his acreage which lies 50 near
ly perpendicular that one would
have to dig hole In the side of 1t
to build n house. And then with
out batting an eye-lid he informs
you that they are just about to
open up this new tract and as you
are the first one they have shown
it to they will let you have limit
ed amount at 5000 an acre. told
him as calmly as l could that l
could not handle more than 10000
acres of 1t, and l would give him
dollar down and q dollar month
Just about then he had blowout
and had to help him pump up the
tire.
Did you hear about the floods
they had down here? The first
hard rain in 81 years. l am asking
them why they are putting in new
bridges for it will be 81 years un-
till the next flood and 1t would be
cheaper to fill in dirt.
Their rivers here are certainly
joke in the dry season. When
first came here fellow had to have
the dust brushed off his clothes
every time he crossed the Los An
geles river. e
Maybe l had better close this
epistle and sign my name. and II
you want to print this l might be
induced to give my consent after
you have fixed it up q little as It
would save me the price of few
post cards.
Yours very truly,
s. A, Baxter.

KILLED IN WINDOW FALL
Vertigo Causes Old Soldier to Drop
From Bathroom to Yard

Darby, Pa, Dec. 21.-Falling from

tack of vertigo, Harry Green, a vet
eran of the Civil war, ~ years of age
was instantly killed in his yard, on
Second street, above Main, yesterday

room is but two feet above the floor, he
evidently fell through in reeling. The
family found him inanimate in the
yard, and called DR.. Swisher, who
found Green s neck had been broken.
Green served in the One Hundred
and Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania In
fantry during the Civil war, and was

obligated himself to look after the

Il
st Louis, Dec. 21.-Several score of
unemployed men entered st. John s
Methodist Episcopal church, one of the
most fashionable in this city, just be-
fore the morning service yesterday.
Police, who had been warned of the
visit, were at hand to eject them, but
the Rev. j. A. Rice would not permit
such action and seated the strangers
among the congregation.
Mr.. Rice was to speak on "The
Common Task of Social Adjustment. -

state his views on the topic before Mr..

ing, as the temperature must not fall.
If the pudding is cooked in molds or
tins, oil them well and then sift -four
in and shake it about; this prevents all
sticking. Small puddings weighing half
"a pound will cook in forty minutes;
"a large one will require from an hour
and half to three hours.
All English recipes call for brandy or
wine in mince pies and puddings- A
fine fruit flavor may be secured by
the American housewife by using grape
juice, orange juice or any jelly in the
place of the cup of milk called for.
An extra word of caution should be
given in regard to this pudding swell
ing. Do not fiji the molds much more
than half full when you put them in the
steamer or oven.
A very pretty way to serve Christ
mas pudding is to decorate it with
wreath of holly around the platter and
put whipped cream over the top.
The sauce should be hot if the pud
ding is; not otherwise One that is
best hot is made with cup of sugar
creamed with half cup Of butter. Add
one unbeaten egg and q teaspoon of
favoring. Put this in porcelain pan
and set over boiling water; pour on
Il third of cup of hot water, stirring
meantime Cook over the water heat
fifteen minutes.

Shade Tree Question and
Ordinance is to be Amend
ed by City Council.

Acting on the belief that the i'm
provement of Center street, Fairview,
by the construction of a sewer system
would benefit the whole community );
that this improvement would be the
forerunner of making the street un-
der the three mile road law and pro
viding a desirable northwest exit and
entrance to Richmond, principally
because grade crossing would be
avoided, the board of works today con-
firmed the resolution for the sewer
system and ordered advertisements
for bids.
William Kelley. attorney for some
lot owners, opposed the resolution on
the ground that it would be no bene-
fit to his already heavily assessment
burdened clients, and that the open
ing of the street as a northwest en-
trance to the city would mitigate
against the improvement of West
Fifth street, on which is located the
most dangerous grade crossing in the
city.
Petitioners for the improvement
were George kemper and William
Turner of kokomo, of the recently or
