You'd the western hi, bit the trail
of light it leaves behind serves to
guide some wandcrer to his home. The
tree grows and falls in the forest;
but in the lapse of ages by the chem
istry Of nature, it is converted into
coal. and today our hearth fires burn
the brighter because it grew and fell.
Friends, Brothers, how are we us
ing our influence? Are we being
made happy by dispensing happiness
Rejecting upon the activity Of the
Grim Reaper, and the frequency of
his visits to our midst, do we proper
ly realize the brevity Of life, and that
we live that day in vain during which
we bring no happiness to another. /
am strong in the faith that that man
or woman who so lives each day as to
make some other person happier, who
dispenses the character which ] have
sought to protray may rest secure
in the belief that when his or her
work on earth is done, when the car
of life stops at the last station; he,
or she, may step from the platform
into the unknown, the untried, but we
shall hope, the beautiful beyond, and
be ushered in by the angel hands Of
loved ones, where love is perfect, and
life eternal. Do rot let us wait until
their lips are closed by the cold seal
Of death before honoring those Of our

today, to be charitable. Remember,
that in living we make an immutable
record of our lives; and once spent,

this, now that it has happened, I feel

Wash your faces girls; pass up the
rouge and the powaer pun and park
your chewing gum if you are think
ing of applying to Health Comm4s-
sioner c. Hampson Jones for job.
DR.. Jones has no objection to
eamouf1aged compilations from an
aesthetic point of view. he explained
yesterday in discussing a letter he
has written to the City Service Com
mission desiring to know whether he
is required to select employees from
lists certified to him. II girls want
to run the risk of running their COM
plexion, he feels that it is none OF
his business as long as they don't
do it in his office. But there DR.,
Jones draws the line.
"a competitive examination prov
es very little" said DR.. Jones. 1T
means merely that person has been
abe to answer successfully certain
number of questions on a given sub
ject. But whether the applicant is
a desirable person for the position
is not disclosed. The entire matter
of personality and personal appear
ance is vital in evil service as we'll
as in private business, l myself
would seldom have occasion to meet
highly rouged clerks, but the other
employees would be thrown into con-
slant contract with them, and l feel
that girls who do not make them
selves Objectionable by the use of
paint and powder ought to be pro-
tected.
"a girl who uses paint and pow

of explanation and l do not want to
be put in the position of having to
explain the presence of any girl IN
this department. | do not mean to
put a ban on all girls who apply a
title color and some powder to their
faces, for a great many of them do
it with the idea that it makes them
better looking. But you can't
stretch and point and explain to
every caller that Miss Smith is a
very nice girl, even though she will
maltreat her face.
This horrible. gum-chewing habit
is just about as Objectionable as the
camouf1age habit from the en-
ployers' point of view. 1 cannot
bear the thought of employing a
girl whose jaws are constantly NOV
ing to say nothing of the unpleasant
odor of the gum. A girl might
have passed a 100 per cent, perfect
examination as far as her papers dis
close and yet be ruined as an employe
If she chews gum.
There is no need of setting forth
again that the habit is unhealthful,
for that is too we'll known to need
further argument. But the time
has come when employers must take
a resolute stand against these disa-
greeable habits. A girl who has

slovenly work"

Soon a Lost Art.

Among the lost arts of the world, it
is to be feared that Indian basket max
ing must soon be included. And it is
very great pity, too. 1t is a wonder
full art and one that has been created
at vast pains and sacrifices.
The younger generation of Califor-
MIA and desert Indians are not learn
ing to make baskets. Like the young
err generation of the white race they
are not fond of hard work. And who
ever buys an Indian basket for few
dollars has seldom a realization Of the
work and the patience that has been
expended upon 1t.

Four days after Jerry Brale, the
notorious gambler. disappeared, they
found his body in a presumably va
cant room of a cheap hotel on the
waterfront.
Under that pressure which the
city detectives knew how to exert
on the proprietors of such places
the manager at last agreed to talk,
though his two days silence had
given those he indicated as the kill
ers total start of SIX days. For
Jerry Brale had been murdered.
Brale had been struck down with
a piece Of angle iron, which had
crushed deep into his skull. The
angle of the wound showed the mur-
dered had been facing him. Appar-
entity the struggle was brief, for
there were no other marks of vio-
lence upon the body except that
produced by the same weapon upon
his right arm between the wrist and
elbow. This blow had bruised the
flesh badly and crushed through the
skin as we'll. The body was slump
ed down in a corner back into which
the man had fallen in recoiling from
the blow.
The proprietor claimed to. know
nothing Of the murder and this
seemed likely, inasmuch as the body
had lain in the room for four days.
His story was that on the night of
the murder Brale and two other men
had come to his place and asked for
a private room, where there was no
danger of their being overheard, as
they had important business to taIk
over. He had given them a room
In q section of the building that waS
little used, and had paid no further
attention to them. About nfteen
minutes later the party left. He
didn't remember seeing Brale ro
! through the lobby but supposed
that he had been with the Others
His back was half turned at the
time. and he was talking to two
other men. He was not concerned
because Brale and the others had
paid him for the room in advance.

actly the same story. detail for de-

other of being the man who struck
the blow. The motive simply had
been anger. Brale had "insulted''
one of them. and in a rage this one
struck him down. The deal thew
had been talking over was an iIle-
gal one, of course, but it was only
in prospect, and furnNshed no mo-
tive.

At the request of Detective Ser

to attempt a solution Of the mys-
terry. He simply asked Reagan to
