NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—In the midst of all this housing difficulty, one group of New York residents insist upon looking out for themselves and refusing any aid however kindly instructed. When the beavers pond at the Bronx zoon was drained the keeper decided to build a better home. Expert carpenters were called in and a much finer shelter constructed. But it was no use. The beavers immediately went to work and "rolled their own," ignoring the man-built home entirely. Another sign of domesticity is breaking out in our undomestic city. Dyed rags for rugs, in bunches, are appearing in the shops and are builing rapidly. They are fast colors and in every imaginable shade. The number of women who are weaving their own rugs is said to be increasing by the hundreds right here in New York. The drama has not lost its lure for Mrs. Lydig Hoyt in spite of the fact that she has abandoned the field of motion pictures which first intrigued her fancy. Now she plans to go onto the legitimate stage. She is said to be considering a number of offers for speaking roles, some of which are "leads." We have had various instances of husbands' writing plays for their wives to act in, but Mrs. John Barry, more seems to have started the tide the other way with her "Claim de Lune" of last season. Now it is Clara Lipman, who has written "Nature's Nobleman" in which her husband, Louis Mann is appearing. The play, which opened the other night at the Apollo theatre, is real comedy, and gives Mann fine opportunities. New York has heard another diva. The beautiful Jorita was heard for the first time in Krongold's "Die Tote Stadt" (The Dead City), an opera new to the American public. The role called for a dancer as well as a singer and in both respects Madame Joriza qualified unquestionably. No more beautiful or appealing spectacle has ever been given at the Metropolitan and an audience not too welcome in its greeting to a newcomer attested an appreciation and affection for this lovely lady which will long be remembered in the annals of opera. What I liked most is the fact that she isn't fat, long since an accepted necessity for a great opera singer. A few of the elite in local art circles have had a rare privilege lately. In viewing a work of art not only notable for its quality, but for its ironic significance. An adoring friend of the bonny Prince of Wales has had a beautiful pack of hand painted ivory playing cards made for his highness and the story goes that certain crowned heads of Europe represent the knaves in the pack. Various names are given out as to the identity of the knaves, but all are agreed that the following noble visages are represented; the former kaiser, ex-King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and last, and undoubtedly least, the German Crown Prince. If the present conference in Washington does put an end to the nice little European gamble these cards will become all the more significant as the last evidence of a losing game. Since we are having boxing bouts for the entertainment of society people, a practice instituted by Miss Anne Morgan, many smart women have been attending exhibitions of the manly art. One Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, while a young man of charm and personality, never expected to be included in the set which now receives arms.

Nor is he contemplating leaving his profession, having just completed arrangements whereby a group of men take possession of the old Seigel-Cooper store at Sixth ave and 18th st for a sporting club which olds fair to rival Madison Square Garden. A seating capacity of 1,800 is assured. An interesting report on domestic service and its many-angled problems has been received by the national board of the Y. W. C. A. from two of its western college girls who did six weeks' work as domestic servants. They embodied ten recommendations in the report, all emphasizing the importance and necessity of giving domestic workers some opportunity to lead normal, social lives outside of their working hours. Regularity in meals so far as possible, one free day a week, and other details of that kind are taken up; but perhaps the most interesting item of the recommendations is "that housewives have a knowledge of the work to be done and of the length of time it takes to perform a given task." That seems to go to the foundation of much difficulty. Another paragraph which the board considers worth noting is "that because a Christian's obligation begins in the home no amount of public service, will compensate for the ill-treatment of a human being there who is making that service possible." These two college girls seem to have learned more than academics during their course of study. They have even learned to be humble, for they begin the report with the admission: "realizing that college girls—are frequently the most thoughtless—". Do you recall attending a party back home and having your hospitable host urge a few of the sand-wiches on you when you were leaving with the remark that "They will just be to throw out, and you might as well have them." Such things do not happen in New York. In fact, one of our grande dames is being quoted as saying: "I want to refresh people, not to feed them. I find that with the caterer given carte blanche some of the dowangers who cannot fight for food find nothing left after the rush is over. Why my butler tells me that he has seen some prominent clownmen actually wrapping up olives and celery in their hands." PRODUCTION JUMPS IN BUTTERWORTH 1 Santa Fe Springs Butterworth No. 1 continues to surprise its owners. Last week the production stood at 323 barrels. This week the well is up to 350 barrels and the gravity has increased to 36.7. Butterworth No. 1 is now producing the highest gravity oil in Southern California. Butterworth No. 2 is drilling at 500 feet in sand and boulders. The Central Oil Co., is rigging up at Los Nitos No. 1 and will be ready to start drilling before the end of the week. The General Petroleum has taken over the holdings of the Chanseler Canfield Midway Oil Co., at Santa Fe Springs. The General Petroleum is planning on drilling four wells at once. Why this move was made is not known. It is the supposition that the Chanseler-Canfield did not want the light oil production of Santa Fe Springs and as the oil the company produces all goes to the railroad the light product could not be used with economy. The interstate commerce prevents the Chanseler-Canfield Midway from selling its production on the open market. A railroad company cannot engage in the oil business. The Fullerton Oil Co. is about ready to start drilling on the Burndy property. No. 1 is rigged up and ready to spud in. Drilling on the Nevada-Ventura is close to 1200 feet. A lot of hard shell from 1000 on has slowed the drilling progress. The Petroleum Midway spudded in at Los Nitos on the Bell Community lease and is now drilling. The Scientific Oil Co. is making good weekly runs now. Drilling is now at 1725 in the blue shale, and going ahead nicely. The Standard Oil Co., has taken first place in the development work at Santa Fe Springs. This company has eight wells underway, four are actually drilling and four are rigging up. Brownrigg-Kellar is showing some real speed. Three weeks drilling put the hole down 2650 feet. L.A. T. & S. No. 1 is drilling at 1300, Pacific Clay Pipe at 1200 and COSTS LEGION ONLY $35 FOR FOCH TOUR LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 — According to John J. Byrne of the Santa Fe, the total charges for the movement of Marshal Foch's special train to all the cities he visited in the United States and Canada, only totaled $35. The lowest charge on any one line was $1 and the highest was $5. Under the transportation law, revenue must be derived from every train passing over any company's lines, practically every line handling the train agreed to the $1 charge. The American Legion will pay the bill. found yet, Bell 2 and 4 are building rigs, Bell No. 3 is rigging up, Flood No. 1 and Sanchez No. 1 are drilling at 1000 and 700 respecting. Alexander No. 1 is rigging up, Farewell Nolis building rig and Howard No. 1 has been located. Meyer No. 3 is cleaning out and is coming back on production. The production got down as low as 20 barrels, it is now 70. Meyer No. 5 at 4977 is fishing for 7 joints of drill pipe. Meyer A is redrilling at 4975.

It isn't that we are less hospitable here; our guests are just a little more determined. "Taking coals to Newcastle" has been demonstrated to the delight of the local bellhops. During the recent visit of hotel men from all parts of the United States and Canada to New York for the hotel mens' convention, the visitors established a new record for liberality of tips. It suggested the good old days, and one of the lady-coat checkers went on record with the following: "Not in two or three years have we received such liberal tips from guests. Usually we get ten and twenty-five cent tips at the cost checking counter, but this week the tips usually started at about 0 cents and often we received paper money." The gentle art of tipping seems to have been lost in hotels and restaurants since the com- Great Leaders Alexander the Great Who Sighed for More Worlds to Conquer The Scientific Oil Co. is making good weekly runs now.

The Shell Co. intends to be in on the "big stuff" at Santa Fe Springs and is rigging up at Golay Community No. 1. All the Union Oil Co. has to do is to increase the flow nipple an eighth to get another 500 out of Bell No. 1. Last week the well was making 2640 barrels thru a %ths nipple. The flow nipple was enlarged to % this week and the well is now doing 3100. The pressure stands at 500 and the capacity of production has not been ing of prohibition. Then to fifteen dollars a day was formerly a fair average with wages as low as $2.00 for the privilege, but now the wages have not been increased and in consequence the average hotel employee is finding it hard to get along, even as you and I.

"The old time hobo is disappearing, giving place to a younger generation," says Dan O'Connell, Chief Special Agent for the Southern Pacific Company, in commenting on the great number of trespassers encountered by the railroads these days. O'Connell recently reported that 20,634 trespassers were put off the Southern Pacific Co.'s property during a recent month. He says that the number of hoboes this year is greater than during any previous period in the company's history. "The majority of those beating their way are under 30 years of age and many are in their early twenties. The old timers, with their blanket rolls are found more infrequently. The new comers in this class are not so wise to the ways of hoboing and many lives are lost in this dangerous practice."
