THE w. c, 7, U,

The fiftieth anniversary of the
Womans Christian Temperance I'm
ion attracted but small attention gen
orally, and yet the Accomplishments
of this organization stand out prom
inently in the history of the nation.
The part it played in bringing about
the abolition of liquor through con-
stitutional amendment was large. 1t
won because of unwavering convic-
ton and persistent militancy and, it
represents one of the most effective
organizations of women that ever
came into existence in the United
States.
That many of those who helped
found the union lived to see the day
when a prohibition amendment be-
came part of the federal constitution
is little short of astonishing. The
fiftieth anniversary of this organiza-
tion of earnest women is an event OF
more than sentimental Importance.

new HOMES NEAR
COMPLETION NOW
ON Len REY AVE.

!, Four new homes are nearing com,
pletiou on Len Rey Avenue between
Fifth and Sixth streets. This is
the most progressive summer that
the valley has known, if new home
building IS any criterion. The pur-
chase of the SandalwoOd Drive
subdivision and the building by
owhers ON lots on Len Rey, Wens-
ley and Vine is fast developing q
the section.
One of the 5o.nes on Len Rev is
owned by Charlie Farrell Jr. or the
Valley Lumber company and he has
planned it himself. it is of Cafifor-
MIA bungalow style with SIX rooms
and attractive breakfast nook.
Another of the four belongs to
Ernest Saunders, who is bulldiny
and designing 1t himself, intending
to move III us soon as 1t Is finished.
Nj. Saunders has planned home of
modern stuceo type which are so
popular on the coast.
l.. K. Morris is building IN the
center of the block and has left the
entire plan of building to his broth

is Incorporating many new ideas
which will make it both attractive
and convenient. He has followed as

style, with pillars all across the

in the front for Cnc of the delightful
dens or libraries which one finds in
homes with gabled roofs.
The last OF the four is being built
by s. G. kronnick, contractor and
brilder from South Pasadena. Mr..
kronnick is building for himself,
not knowing whether or not he will
live here. rhc main feature of his
