EBELL SOCIETY IN MONTHLY MEETING MRS. WILLOUGHBY RODMAN ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY ON HER TRIP AROUND THE WORLD ALL-DAY SESSION OF COUNTY CLUBS TO BE HELD HERE IN MONTH OF APRIL Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, who has but recently returned from a 14-months' journey around the world, addressed the regular meeting of the Ebell Club, held Saturday at Odd Fellows' hall, with a graphic and delightful talk on her travels. Mrs. Rodman, an ex-president of the civic association of Los Angeles, saw the world largely through civic eyes, but her alert manner, together with the many interesting things she related, made her audience soon realize that her scope had not been narrowed to one interpretation. She carried with her on her travels a government document bearing the seal of the State of California which gave her entrance everywhere. She had but to present the paper and the most gracious attention was tendered her. In Kyoto, Japan, she was a guest of the governor of the province for a week. In Singapore she helped plan the equipment for a Roman Catholic school, she spent a month in Siam, where she was one of the three Americans who saw the coronation of the King of Siam. She described the wonderful pagen with 40,000 soldiers marching in review before the king, the gilded boats resembling swans in structure, and Oriental splendors such as one dreams of but never realizes exist. In India at the Durbar she saw the coronation ceremony of King George and Queen Mary. Mrs. Rodman elucidated on the extravagant splendor of the festivities which the governor of the province for a week. In Singapore she helped plan the equipment for a Roman Catholic school, she spent a month in Siam, where she was one of the three Americans who saw the coronation of the King of Siam. She described the wonderful pagen with 40,000 soldiers marching in review before the king, the gilded boats resembling swans in structure, and Oriental splendors such as one dreams of but never realizes exist. In India at the Durbar she saw the coronation ceremony of King George and Queen Mary. Mrs. Rodman elucidated on the extravagant splendor of the festivities which far exceeded in expenditure anything that America has ever known. "Why, I never knew what jewels were," said Mrs. Rodman, "until I saw them there. Aigrettes of gold were worn on each fiber of which was suspended a jewel, the whole fastened by a gem as large as this ——," and she circled her fingers to about the size of an egg. The robes were vivid in color and exquisitely embroidered with rich gold and silk. The material and work were of the very best. The Americans present on this gala occasion were by their sombre clothes the only blots on the landscape compared with the elaborate and brilliant attire of native sons." As the guest of a Maharajah for a week in Ceylon, Mrs. Rodman took a regular morning constitutional on the back of an elephant imagining herself, she jocosely said, "to be some Oriental princess." She visited Mandalay, spent a day in a boys' school in Rangon, visited the Y. W. C. A. in Madras, saw the sunrise on Mt. Everest. She spent several days viewing the Laj Mahal at Agra, India. This is a famous mausoleum erected by Shah Jehan for his favorite wife. Twenty thousand men were employed 20 years in the construction of this, perhaps the most wonderful building of the world. The entire structure stands on a white marble platform 18 feet high and 300 feet square. The doors are of solid silver and an enormous diamond was placed upon the tomb itself. The whole Koran is said to be written in mosaics of precious stones on the interior walls. The interior decoration is especially noticeable for the stone mosaics of flower themes and arabesques, many of them in agate, jasper and bloodstone. Mrs. Rodman was in Rome at Easter and had an audience with the Pope and walked in his garden; she inspected the Montessori school and Dalcross institute, visited the Alhambra in Spain and sat where Irving did when he wrote his entertaining sketches. "It seemed almost like getting home," said Mrs. Rodman, "for there were the mountains, the orange, olive, and lemon groves, the palms, the bright, clear, blue sky that one sees in our own glorious state, the only marked difference was that many of the farm yards - were completely surrounded by high, white-washed fences or walls." She visited Egypt, made several visits to the Sphinx, traveling on the back of a camel, climbed the pyramids, saw the mummies. "Although I think I am old," she remarked, "because of the intensity with which I have lived and the during his recent visit here. But there is yet a great deal of work to do before the commission comes here to select site next summer. A large first-class hotel would be of great assistance in the fight. Many other sections of Southern California will be contestants for the station, and it is believed Los Angeles will not be slow to see the great advantages of the institution and will endeavor to locate it near that city. A number of other towns in Southern California with ample hotel accommodations entertained the university men during their recent visit, and some of them are active aspirants for the station. Anaheim has all these places beaten when it comes to natural advantages, but members of the board of trade who wish to see the station located here must get actively into the fight and leaves no stone unturned in order to secure it. CHRISTIAN CHURCH The meeting at the Christian church closed last Sunday night and Mr. Daniels gave a stereopticon lecture on "The Life of Christ," Monday to a very appreciative audience. The lecture was one of the best I have ever seen on the subject. The good done for the church during this meeting will not be soon forgotten. The evangelists were very congenial, enthusiastic and energetic workers. The mid-week prayer meeting and Bible study meets on Wednesday as usual from 7:30 to 8:30 P.M. We are to begin the study of the analysis of II Corinthians. Thursday evening the Endeavorers meet at the home of Mrs. Mary Wiley. Everybody come, for the place of meeting, (from past experience), means a good time after the business session. Bible school at 9:45 A.M., Lord's-day morning. Come and help increase the interest. The preaching services next Lord's-day will be special themes which will prove helpful and inspiring to the spiritually minded people; contemptible to the contentious critics; and abominable to the kickers and carnal minded. Everybody come; you all are welcome to "a home-like church." C.R.MOORE, Minister and Evangelist. ADVERTISED LETTERS Adelaida P. De Strniga, Miss Louise S.

"Although I think I am old," she remarked, "because of the intensity with which I have lived and the diversity of experiences I have had, I certainly felt very young when everything about me was so extremely ancient, some things old at the time of Moses." She mentioned briefly parks, streets, recreation places of Vienna, and Budapest, saying that the American cities had much to learn from the foreign cities as to beauty of their communities. Here is America so much being built for utility only. She reiterated the sentiment of many travelers that in order to appreciate objects and scenes, one must view them from different angles, from different points of view, both mentally and physically, as the atmosphere, environment and companionship make such a marked difference upon one's receptivity. Mrs. Rodman has an engaging personality and held the unwavering and undivided attention of all the women present. She is so saturated with the things she has seen and so brimful of interesting experiences that her enthusiasm which exudes from every pore is contagious to her listeners. She is eager in her anticipation that American cities profit by example set by some of the foreign cities. The next regular meeting of the club to be held Saturday, April 5th, will be a gathering of the County Federation of Women's Clubs. It is to be an all-day session to which the ladies are asked to bring their baskets for a basket lunch; coffee to be served at the hall. The business meeting of the local club will be held at 3:30 of the same day. ENGINEER MAKES REPORT ON HIGHWAY PLANS EMBARGO ON BONDS WILL SOON BE LIFTED — OTHER CONDITIONS BANKERS COMING TO AID OF COMMISSIONERS IN DISPOSING OF SECURITIES Conditions of the state highway at the present time and plans for the future are dealt with in the following report by A. B. Fletcher, state highway engineer, made public this week: "In November, 1912, after but $1,600,000 of the bond issue of $18,000,-000 for state highways had been sold, it became evident that the state highway bonds were not marketable. These bonds pay but 4 per cent interest and with the condition of the money markets then prevailing the bonds were not attractive to investors. "Contracts for state highways had been awarded to such an amount that it was not deemed prudent to continue to further obligate the state until more bonds were sold. "The rate of interest, 4 per cent, is fixed by the state highways act, which bonds shall not be sold for less than par. "As the state highways act is a referendum act, one of the kind which cannot be modified by legislative action and to change which the people must act at a general state election, it is obvious that the California highway commission was placed in a most" IN AND ABOUT THE CITY A. Hessel was in town Tuesday from Los Angeles attending to business of the Union Brewing Company, of which he is president. O. H. Egge was over from Santa Ana Monday to attend the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Sugar Company. J. A. Knapp was in town Monday from Garden Grove in attendance upon the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Sugar Company. Assemblyman Weisel leaves this morning for Sacramento to attend the legislative session which begins on Monday. He will drive up in his automobile and expects to make the trip in three days. C. H. Perkins, of Newark, N. Y., who is spending the winter with Mrs. Perkins in Southern California, was in town this week, accompanied by his brother, W. W. Perkins, of El Modena. They were guests of J. B. Rea. Petition has been filed in the superior court for an order to sell certain real estate belonging to the estate of Minnie M. Bentz, of which Joseph Helmsen is administrator. The hearing has been set for March 14. Joseph Helmsen covered his lawn with commercial fertilizer, and then had nearly six inches of rain fall upon it. This rain, he declares, came to order. Joseph has one of the finest lawns in town. Mrs. Rudolfe L. Grenke was in Los Angeles on Friday relative to the series of photo-plays which she has recently been engaged to write for one of the well-known companies in that city. Possessed of rare literary ability, Mrs. Grenke has attained marked success in short story writing and she bids fair to win even greater honors in this new field. A petition has been filed with County Clerk Williams by residents of the La Habra and Fullerton road districts, asking the supervisors to change the road district lines between the two districts, as follows: Commencing at the northeast corner of the city of Fullerton; thence north to the north. It was not deemed prudent to continue to further obligate the state until more bonds were sold. "The rate of interest, 4 per cent, is fixed by the state highways act, which bonds shall not be sold for less than par. "As the state highways act is a referendum act, one of the kind which cannot be modified by legislative action and to change which the people must act at a general state election, it is obvious that the California highway commission was placed in a most embarrassing situation. "In spite of the lack of money for letting contracts, the survey work has been in active operation, so that at the present time the only loss has been a loss of time. The completion of the state highway system has been delayed thereby several months. "To relieve this condition several plans have been adopted. The state board of control purchased blocks of the bonds, thus enabling the state treasurer to sell them in smaller lots than the act contemplates. In several of the counties, notably Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, Stanislaus, San Mateo, Alameda, Mendocina and Orange, the banks either have already subscribed for large amounts of the bonds or they are about to do so. "The bankers of Los Angeles county have already taken $400,000 in these bonds. "To make the bonds more salable in New York City, a bill has been presented in the legislature providing for a fiscal agency in that city for transactions in all state bonds. If this bill becomes a law, as seems likely, the interest on the bonds may then be paid in New York, thus avoiding charges for exchange. "With these several aids, together with the better money market conditions now prevailing, it is believed that the embargo will be soon lifted." Notwithstanding the delays due to the non-sale of state highway bonds, the commission expects that the main trunk lines of the system will be completed by the time the San Francisco exposition of 1915 is opened. This is the statement of Austin B. Fletcher, state highway engineer. Activities of the highway commission have been resumed following the purchase of several hundred thousand dollars' worth of bonds by bankers in various counties interested in seeing the work pressed.

W. R. Edwards, a pioneer druggist of Santa Ana, died late Saturday afternoon as the result of injuries received when he was struck by an automobile at noon. Edwards was nearly blind and walked in front of an automobile driven by Harry Lugar of this city. His age, 79, and feeble condition were such that he could not survive the shock, though no bones were broken and there was no evidence of internal injuries. Edwards, known to old-timers as Doctor Edwards, was proprietor of the first drug store in Santa Ana. For a number of years past he lived at Laguna Beach, returning to the county seat recently. Lugar stepped into his automobile near the corner of Fourth and Main streets and had no more than started it before it struck Edwards, who was quickly doubled up under the machine. By-standers rushed to help the injured man. He was taken to his home and died six hours later. He leaves a widow and a daughter, Miss Katherine Edwards. City Trustee Tom Hill, of Stanton, was in town on Tuesday transacting business with merchants whom he has patronized for a generation. Mr. Hill entertains the opinion that this city and Stanton ought to be able to get along together on terms of peace and amity, and this will result, in his opinion, when this city gives up its purpose of operating a sewer farm in the new westside town. With other residents of Stanton, Mr. Hill entered forcible objections to three bills introduced into the legislature by Assemblyman Weisel, which, if passed and enacted into law, would give this city the right to operate such sewer farm despite objection of Stanton city trustees. At a meeting of the city trustees of Stanton on Monday evening Assemblyman Weisel was present and said that he was not the author of the bills, that they had been introduced by request and that he would withdraw them. Mr. Hill believes that the sewer farm at Stanton is a matter that has passed into history and should be forgotten. He has many old-time friends in this city who entertain similar sales our entire Fancy Good at less than once. Sale is now in tinue until en MICHIGAN PICNIC Owing to the heavy storms, the Michigan picnic, which was to have been held in Eastlake Park, Los Angeles, March 1, has been postponed until March 15. Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg was in town on Tuesday from her ranch west of town on a shopping expedition. Mrs. Kellogg is one of the pioneer residents of the west country, was 80 years of age last July, and is as active as many women half her age. She continues in the enjoyment of excellent health, and her many friends throughout the neighborhood indulge the hope that she may be spared to many more years of usefulness in the community which she has graced so long.
