700 Acres.

Actual construction will be started
shortly on a 700-acre freight terminal
covering a two-mile strip along the San
Fernando road, beginning at the North
Broadway yards, by the Southern Pa
cifc Railway company at a cost OF sew
eral millions of dollars. This announce
ment was made recently by L. FL. Will
liams, assistant general manager OF
the company, according to the Los
Angeles Examiner.
The completed yard will be one OF
the most extensive and comprehensive
freight terminals in the country. 1t

and receiving, car storage, delivery, re
pair tracks, stock resting c%orrals, cleo
trio power house and Illuminating sys-
ten for the yard, two 5O-stall round-

freight terminal at Los Angeles is he
practical recognition Of the tremendous
growth of the city and surrounding
towns and Of the greater growth In
prospect" said Mr.. Williams.

company spent more than $S,OO0,OOO
for materials and supplies in Los
Angeles. It's normal pay roll is approx
imately $1,000,000.

GREAT ESTATES BROKEN Up
Among British Lands Recently Placed
on the Market Are Those of the
C1r1arorc

II n Is not too deeply stepped IN
romance he may fail to feel remorse
at the sale of many of the large Eng
fish estates, for the greater part OF
their broad lands are of agricultural
value. With Scotland it is rather diff
f%erent, for there is much that Is no
more than heath and rock, where
there is no more than beauty and SEN
timent and romance, and that in every
stone and sprig.
The real Highlander feels sad when
he reads that the wide Cameron es-
tates of 117,000 acres, including the do
mains Of historic Lochaber and
Lochiel, are in the market. They in
clude a big sheep range and some
valuable timber. but that is about all
commercially, for deer, black-game
and wild duck are not articles OF
trade.
In the old days the great lairds
maintained these wild lands and their
wild retainers out of their own pock-
cts; now they cannot afford it and
lands and retainers have to go. In all
the Highlands, probably there is no
clan better known by name and story
to the world than the mighty Gamer
ons. The Cameron Highlanders, 1.-The
March of the Cameron Men" Lochiels
slogan and the Lochaber ak, are
spoken of everywhere.
There was not a Cameron among
the "Seven Men of Glenmoriston"
(who were Grants, MacDonells, Mac
gregors and Chisholms), but they were
connected with almost every other
episode of the gallant young Prince
Charles sad and brief career. The
beautiful estates now in the market
were forfeited on that account, to be
restored half a century later, this be-
ing the only break in the Cameron
possession.

His Own "DoubIe!n

Few modern statesmen are the sub
ject of so many good stories as M.
Clemenceau. who is eighty-one. Here
is one of the latest:
The other day he went round the
street markets of Paris testing prices,
following his usual habit of seeing
things for himself. Asking an old
woman at one of the stalls the price
Of some carrots, he was told go cen
times.
-'They are toe DEAR" he protested.
II will give you fifty"
The woman looked at him a minute,
perhaps to see if it was worth while
haggling, and then said:
VERY well, 0 shall have them for
fifty, because. my little old man, you
resemble our good M. Clemenceau."

Short Goats on
the Style List

Women are having a really good
time with the little short coats, writes
q fashion observer In the New York
Times There Is so much novelty
about then-so much that Is new and
bright and cheerful. And tnen they
are economical. They help out other
costumes. They add just enough Of
color to dark gown, and they can be
used with separate skirts. Really,
their possibilities are unending. They
have taken the popular fancy and are
bound to ingratiate themselves so
much that they win last long time In
the field of fashion
1t has been stated over and over
again that embroidery rules the sen
son, but 1t is only when we come TO
consideration of the short coat that
we realize the strength of that state
ment. Embroidery runs rlor In this
particular, and If the coat is not EN-
broidered over every inch of its sur
face, then II has trimmings and edg-
ings and facings of stitches that are
fascinating to see.
The principal beauty Of these short
er coats is that they are colorful and
decorative. There are many ways OF
making them SO. A plain short coat Is
as nothing at all. 1t loses all excuse
for being.
One of the French designers did a
very clever thing with short coat by
making its outside surface of dark
blue heavy satin and It's inner surface
of bright red silk duvetyne. 1t was
short and straight and boxed In line
and so finished that 1t could be worn
on the blue side or the red. which
ever pleased Its wearer. OF course, on
either occasion, the contrasting color
and material showed as sort Of edg-
ing and accessory. 1t was intended to
be worn over plain chemise dress
of dark blue satin devoid Of trimming.
When desirable, the red coat made
lovely combination, but at other
times the blue coat would suffice with
Just the glimpses of red to give the
costume relief and trimming.
Line Becoming to Most Women.
The short coat line is becoming to
most women If they arrange 1t clever
ly. For the tall American woman
there could be no better design. She
can afford to have the line of her
clothes broken, and the wearing of a
colorful little jacket is something that
helps her to appear at her best For
the woman whose proportions are on
a larger scale the color oe the coat
must be more In keeping with the
color of the skirt and the design so ar
ranged that the line and cut Of the
jacket sweep into the linz o. the skirt
without too much division lbout the
hips. On this point the woman who is
going to buy one OF these short jackets
should be most insistent. In that lies

mense mass of the bones of camels,
sloths, cave-bears, deer and bison and
of lesser animals and of birds
One wishes for the Imagination of
a Dante to vision the pictures suggest
ed by this brickyard and these as
phalt pits and their contents. There
are two significant facts to be noted.
One is that the claybanks of the
brickyards contain the bones of herb
eaters only. The other is that the
asphalt pits were the common burial
ground of herb-eaters and f1esh-eaters.
On these two facts hangs a thrilling
story of the prehistoric tragedy of the
Ice Age.
This big mastodon of the claypits
and the sabretooth tigers of the as
phalt pits belong to the Ice Age of the
Pleistocene epoch, which some author
tiles think may have begun 100000
years ago and lasted until $4,000
years ago. 1t was after the "Age of
Reptiles and before the age of
Man"
The brickyard excavation extends
back from the ancient bed OF the Los
Angeles river in the form of a horse
shoe into q thirty-foot bank. This
perpendicular bank of clay shows four
levels of drift material, which were
washed down from the mountains and
deposited layer by layer during four
inter-glacial seasons Of the Ice Age
In each layer are the fossils of the
animals that met their death In the
river during the corresponding time
The mastodon was found in the low
est layer of the four. Before the Los
Angeles river changed its bed this
brickyard basin was soft-clay quag-
mire about a quarter of a mile wide.
The La Brea asphalt pits were orig
inally blown out by eruptions of gas.
In these miniature craters oil collect
ed. Evaporation changed this oil into
asphalt with a semi-solid crust. Water
seeped in on the crust and sufficient
vegetation grew to camoufiage the
death-trap.
The stage is set. Now for the
tragedies of the river quagmire and
the asphalt death-trap.
Before the ice cap marched down
from the north the climate of all the
country from Alaska to Los Angeles
was tropical So the mammals had
nothing to do but eat, increase In
size and multiply. The ice cap and !
the cold drove the vast animal hordes
steadily south. The weight of the ice |

canic fires, with their poisonous gases.
The feeding areas decreased. Food
for the grass-eaters grew correspond
ingly scarce. In time every green
spot was the center Of the herbivore1
surrounded by the carnivores which
preyed upon them.
The region about Los Angeles may
have been the scene of the fna1
tragedy.
Picture a bison driven by sabre.
tooth tiger onto the surface of La
Brea pitt The heavy bison cuts
through the crust. 1t falls. The
tiger leaps upon 1t, since a beast Of
prey will usually follow its prey into
any danger the distance of one leap.
The tiger In turn is stuck In the as
phalt. Both perish. Down swoops q
bird Of prey to pick their bones and
to perish in turn.
Picture our mastodon feeding on
the edge of the river marsh and at
tackled by a pack of dire wolves, too
strong to be driven off The giant IA
Their of elephants takes to the marsh.
The wolves do not follow him, since
neither CANNES nor felines will usually
wade or swim after their prey. The
mastodon becomes mired In the soft
clay, to perish miserably and to be
covered in time by debris swept down
by the stream from the mountains,
and In later ages to be uncovered by
civilized man excavating clay for
bricks.
If you have the Imagination, you
may draw other pictures. Doubtless
hunger drove many grass-eater
upon the asphalt death-traps and into
the soft-clay quagmire. In spite of
the instinct that ordinarily keeps
wild things out of such dangers.
Doubtless there were earthquakes,
and in time Of earthquake wild life
goes crazy with fear And certainly
the carnivores outlasted the herb
ivores. 1t may be that the final
struggle for survival among the flesh
eaters was around and even on the La
Brea death-traps.

it all so pulling"

reputation is needed In there.
couldn't just say what l had to say
without using 1t.
"a coed reputation MEANS" she
went on, "that the creature who has
the good reputation is thought well of
and people have good opinion of that
creature.
Reputation is the repute or opinion
which has gone the rounds about one.
Now it is fine to have good opinions
go about of a fine nature for one. and
it Isn't so fine when they're bad.
"These opinions are often spoken
aloud, you see, and so a creature with
a good reputation has nice things
spoken aloud about her and one with
a bad reputation has either dreadful
things said about him or people shake
their heads at the mere mention Of
that name.

tation l might be tempted to give poor
milk today"

moo, pray tell me why"

people passed by today when / was
grazing in the field and they said:

where that COW Is. What beautiful
scenery is all aroundp

meadow and just here one can always

can see such beautiful scenery. And
what does a COW care about sunsetsT

me very angry. How do they know
what I think of sunsets7 Can they
read my COW mind?

sunsets? How do they know but
what I'd love to give up my job of
giving milk and Just gaze at sunsets
all the rest of my life?
"They don't know. They were just
talking and they just felt like saying
that i didn't know anything about
beauty because 1 was only cow.
"Why is II cows like to live In
meadows and not in apartment
houses? I'm not going to tell all the
reasons but at lesst 1t shows that
we're lovers of the country where the
beauty is.
"And 1t might very well be, for all
they know, that my COW heart and
my COW eyes are just as appreciative
as theirs are.

truth at least we cows don't shut
