commissioners last Monday with SIS 90
III bills attached thereto. The petition
was we'll signed, but nevertheless it did
not represent the wishes of the people or
of many of the signers. \ peculiar fea-
ture of this petition was that no one
seemed to know anything about its ORR

terred it TO the city attorney for his
opinion, and it is probable that he will
refer 1t to the attorney general before
passing opinion on it, as there are nc

Mrs. Phoebe c. Taber, wife of G. Ma jor Taber of Las Angeles, Is probably the oldest active artist in California. says Pasadena special to the New Work World. She recently celebrated her S0th birthday anniversary at a family reunion held at the home of a cousin. Charles W. Taber, and yet she plies her brush industriously every day and says that she is turning out as much work as she did many years ago.
 And the most remarkable thing is,'' she said yesterday. that do not have to wear glasses at all when I paint have a good north light and I never wear them I believe my good eyesight Is the result of instructions I received from the first teacher I ever had He told me to take good care of my eyes above all else. and whenever I should find that I had oyertaxed them to go to the window and practice eye gymnas- tics by looking first at distant and then at near objects. I have done so and am glad of 1t.
 T do not know how much longer I shall continue to paint but 1t will cer- tafnly be as long as I can see to do 1t. All of my relatives ask, Why don't you give up painting now and rest?' But l cannot do it. It Is my pleasure and de- light"
 Mrs. Taber is a venerable artist. Her studio Is lined with several hundred of her paintings, and they include DOT traits. figures, landscapes and many paintings of California fruits and flow CTS.

 IN STORSTAD CASE

Quebec. June 27.-With accusations by each side that the witnesses of the other had been guilty of deliberate Justification. counsel for the Empress of Ireland and the Storstad today fin fshed their summing up before the commission appointed to investigate the circumstances of the disaster. Aft CT a private hearing next week the commission will render a finding.
 c. s. Haight, counsel for owners of the Storstad. today attempted to show that the collision was caused solely by the Empress being stopped directly in the path of the collier. Counsel for the Empress of Ireland argued that the opposing counsel had tried to prove both that Captain Kendall of the Empress was to blame and that machinery of the vessel was faulty. Both of these things could not be true, he contended.
 half of the dominion government, said he thought the facts brought out in the hearing were not inconsistent with the belief that officers of both the Stor- stad and Empress were telling the truth. MT. Newcombe was of the opin- ion there had been faults QnS both sides; that the Storstad never should have ported her helm and the. Elm press never should, have stopped right fir the courseao of the Storstad.

There is theory and purpose in hoeing. The first idea is to kill the weeds, lest they deprive the soil of plant food and rob the main crop of nciurishment.
 If there was no other object, hoeing should begin early and be repeated sys- and barely show above the ground.
 A few minutes spent in the garden semi weekly during the early weeks. will ac- complish more than a larger amount of time after the weeds have been allowed to make growth. Tn other words, it is an economy of time to keep ahead of the weeds. and the effect of prompt treat ment of the weed pest upon the backyard garden crop is of large moment, setting aside the satisfaction to the person who has the garden in charge.
 HOE REGARDLESS OF WEEDS.
 Hoeing, however, should be done re- gardless of weeds or if the ground is not weedy. The soil is benefited by the stirring which 1t gets from the hoe or whatever implement is used and there are many valuable implements for this use. The ground should not be hoed when if is wet, but as soon as it dries sufficiently, the surface should be stirred to open the pores and let in the atmos- phere, which contains nitrogen and other chemical elements of great use to the roots of vegetables and plants. Neither sun or air can penetrate wet and caked
