Shipments of iron ore from Mime
sofa have increased quite rapidly Of
late so that by the beginning of
September the state had furnished more
than 100000 tons of ore as against
$50, 900 tons for that date one year ago.
The state-owned mines in 1892 for
warded $4,000 tons of iron ore during
the entire year while as of the first

had passed 100000 tons, according to

A St. Paul man when taken
into custody with 25 gallons of
moon in his possession, told the
court that he was going to
drink it all if he could and
that he kept it in his home for
personal consumption and did
not intend to sell it. He won
for himself a temporary re-
preive in federal court. After
he gets going on the rs gallons,
if the moon acts on him the
same as it acts on some of our
citizens, he will not need to ap-
pear in court. He will be past

DR.. H. Arthur Steiner, professor
of political science at the Universe
ty of California at Los Angeles. will
be the speaker at Saturdays meet
ing of the Women S University club
instead Of DR.. Lewis B. Lesley of
San Diego State college.
This change lies in the fact that
DR.. Lesley has been called to north
ern California in connection with
university work and will be unable
to be present. He has secured Dr.
Steiner instead and the latter will
speak on the subject selected by DR..
Lesley, 1.-THE World of Nations To-
day..
Mrs. J. D. Huston, club president,
in commenting on the change, states
that the club is equally fortunate
in obtaining Dr. Steiner since he
is considered one of the most bril-
liant speakers in Los Angeles in the
field of world events. He is equally
in demand for lecture engagements
and is in fact considered such an
expert in his field that he has been
secured as one of the speakers for
the eleventh session of the Institute
of World Affairs in Riverside. He
speaks Monday, December II, in

was the theme of the charming pro-
gram given for Chapter AV. P. E
o. yesterday afternoon by Mrs. c
G. Montgomery, assisted by EStelle
Livingston.
The meeting took place at the
home Of Mrs. Henry L. Loud. 615
Sandalwood Drive where the chap
ter members met for luncheon and
a business meeting.
Mrs. Montgomery, who is tall
ented exponent of the modern
dance. gave a delightful resume Of
the development of dancing from
the ballet school to the modern
style of dancing exemplified by the
teachings of Won Laben of Ger
many and the dancing of Mary Wig
man.
Isadora Duncan widely revolution
speaker declared, taking it from the
artificial ballet school to a freer eX-
preston, developing the theme that
the idea must precede the dance.
The modern school with its great
er freedom of movement is an out
growth of Isadora Duncan's teach
ings and those of Won Laben.
In conclusion Mrs. Montgomery
expressed her belief that America
will develop a distinct style of
dancing which at first may be so
revolutionary that it will be diff
cult of comprehension.
Estelle Livingston then was pre-
sented in the beautiful Chopin Pre-
Jude No. 20. which she played with
her usual proficiency, after which
Mrs. Montgomery gave her own Gre
alton, a study in movement and an
Interpretation of the ninth prelude
of Chopin. The rhythmic and
graceful movements were an excel
lent representation of the Chopin
music.
Mrs. Loud was luncheon hostess
and served a delicious luncheon

dies and chrysanthemums in shades
of purple and lavender decorated
