ton on this subject passed at big

The leader OF the deputation sug-
qests that a sum equivalent to $4O0,-
100000 should be borrowed, half by
Holland and half by the East Indies,
out OF which the former should pay
for the building of eight armored
cruisers, while the latter would see to

base, the supply OF submarines, tor
pedo destroyers, mine layers, coastal

Armored Cars on Mexican
Trains Carry Machine Guns

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Chihuahua City, Mexico, April %,
--Armored cars are now being at
tached to all passenger trains operat-
ing between here and the border at
Juarez. These cars are converted
from steel gondola cars, which were
made in the United States and sent
to Mexico with shipments of coal for
the mines and railroads. At the Mexi-
can Central shops here, drills are used
to cut small square port holes along
each side of these cars, leaving the
top side of the square uncut in order
that the metal may be bent outward
forming lip or shield for the gun
ner who pokes his rife through the
opening.
Machine guns are often mounted
on blocks of wood with their muzzles
protruding from these holes and are
manned by de facto gunners hiding
behind these improvised breast
works. Steel rails are bolted to the
top of the cars in order to give ad.
ditional protection to the men operat-
ing the rifles and machine guns.

New Painting by Raphael e..
Is Found in London

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
London, April 25--A painting by
Raphael has just been brought to
light in London. A few months ago
a London picture dealer bought in a
salesroom copy Of the picture in the
Uffizi Galleria OF Florence, known as
Raphaels Madonna of the Well.'
For a long time past it has been
known that this Florence picture was
not actually by Raphael, but copy
OF picture presumably lost.
The London dealer sold his copy
of copy" for modest sum to one
of his clients, well known collector
Of early Italian art. 1t was entrusted
to an expert for' cleaning, and the
cleaning off of some apparently su'
perhuous paint revealed the existence
OF another picture underneath, and
actually Of the same subject. When
all the top paint was taken of there
was revealed remarkable piece oi
work, which was Immediately pro-
aounced by experts the unmistakable
work OF Raphael; in fact, the picture
from which the Florence copy was
executed.
1t is less finished than most oi
Raphaers work, which is probably the
reason why someone improved" It
century later by repainting the whole
canvas, but ii is declared to be In the
same style as his famous Visitation
in the Madrid gallery. Its history
cannot be traced back more than fif
ty years, when it was brought from
South America, where 1t had prob
ably been originally taken from Spain
The present owner has no intention
OF selling the work but it will shortl,
be placed as loan exhibit in one o
the London public galleries. Its mar
ket value would probably exceet
100000.

The heavy rain of Friday night

operations. Coming so soon after
the rain of scarcely a week previous
makes it bad for the farmers, as
some of them were not through

on June 5, there will be a whole
army from this neck of the woods
who will register on that date.

GR1CE-JAUERGUI WEDDING.

Inglewood News: The pretty home
of Street Superintendent and Mrs.
Hugh Grice on Grevillea avenue was
the scene of most delightful wedding
last Saturday morning when their
daughter, Mary Esther Grice, was
united in marriage to Marco Jauergui
of Del Mar, California.
The ceremony itself was beautiful in
its simplicity. Promptly at ten o'clock,
the contracting parties took their
places in an alcove of the home, and
there, before the assembled relatives
and friends, made their mutual vows
sealing them with the ring. Dr. Will
liams of the First Baptist church of
Inglewood, was the officiating pastor.
The home was beautifully decorated
in pink and white. Roses were used in
profusion, and among them the bride,
goWned in a white satin georgette
crepe creation, was most attractive. A
shower bouquet of Cecil Drummer roses
carried BY the bride harmonized adj
mirably with the color scheme, the
white becoming the graceful bearer.
Miss Marguerite Dinsmore was the
lucky recipient of this beautiful bou-
quet when the bride gave it the Gus
Itomary toss.
The bride has resided in Inglewood
with her parents for the past eleven
years, receiving her education in both
1.-THE grammar and high schools here.
She is most accomplished young
| musician, and by her charming and
modest personality, has won host OF
| friends.
] The groom is an enterprising young
business man of Del Mar, to which
lplace he will take his bride. He is
general manager of the store there
and also postmaster. Prosperity looms
before this young couple.
Immediately following congratula
tions, dainty and delicious refresh
