BUSINESS WOMEN NEED HOUSING PLAN LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14—That the co-operative apartment hotel idea for young business and professional women, tried out successfully in New York City, will spread to other large cities is the belief of Miss Ida Watt, rooms registry department secretary of the Chicago Y. W. C. A. "The housing situation in Chicago with rents going up and salaries coming down is serious," says Miss Watt. "The Chicago 'Y' handles 4500 applicants for rooms a month and places about 50 per cent. At least 1,500 young women are turned away each month." "A business woman's hotel is needed in Los Angeles and I find that it would be an excellent plan here. The co-operative apartments make four per cent on the investment and each occupant's rent goes toward ownership." Miss Watt says there is a campaign over the housing situation in Chicago and that Miss Blanche Gary of the "Y" national board and who saw war service in Petrograd, will lead a movement in Chicago for the establishment of co-operative apartments. Financiers will be interested by the workers, she declares. FAMILY IN BULGARIA CLAIMS $70 ESTATE GRANDCHILDREN Here is the latest photograph made of three children of Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt.

McCormick has abandoned pursuits of art, grand opera and globe trotting to direct the price war of the International Harvester Co. with the Ford concern on tractors. Ford who started the price slashing with a cut of almost 50 per cent in the price of tractors, has been followed by the Harvester company, the J. I. Case Plow works and the Sampson tractors, controlled by General motors. McCormick has taken up his residence in Chicago and plans to remain here for some time directing the affairs of his company. The Harvester company, in addition to cutting prices, is giving plows and other machinery away with purchases of tractors, while other concerns are offering similar bonuses. McCormick today refused to outline further his plans for the campaign against Ford. Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing. Typewriters —The R.A.

VOTERS BALK AT POWER BONDS That one of the items contained in the proposed $456,000 Santa Ana bond issue scheduled to come before the voters on April 4 will prove to be a rock upon which a number of Santa Ana residents will split, was made clear today when it was learned that there is a wide divergence of opinion with reference to the installation by the city of a $75,000 lighting plant to supply current for street lighting purposes. While a number of citizens declared themselves unreservedly in favor of the proposal, others opposed the movement on the ground that there was no immediate need for this improvement. One voter, in registering his opposition, said that this one item was likely to endanger the entire bond issue, other items of which include $321,000 for outfall sewer improvements and other public necesities. On the other hand, those who favor the project pointed out that Santa Ana is growing so rapidly that improved street lighting facilities are absolutely essential. One citizen, in declaring that Santa Ana is "one of the worst lighted cities in the United States," added that many of the city's streets were so dark at night that crime was fostered and pedestrians were at the mercy of footpads.

Miss Birkhead through her complaint filed in the United States district court here asks $50,000 on each of two charges.

Until the son was located in Oklahoma a short time ago by Attorney Charles Swanner, of this city, the son had not known that his father was alive. The elder Hayden suddenly disappeared from his home in St. Charles, Missouri, years ago, leaving a wife and baby, who finally gave him up as dead.

LONDON Editor Says U.S. History Is Slighted LONDON, Feb. 14 — Awakening interest in America, her political and social life and customs, shown here daily, will be given an added impetus if the suggestion made by George Peabody Gooch in a lecture before the conference of Educational Societies is adopted. Mr. Gooch, who is a joint editor of the Contemporary Review, besides being the author of "Political Ideas, from Bacon to Hallifax," and other political studies, urged educational co-operation with America.

"Emerson, Longfellow and Whittier, I believe," said Mr. Gooch, urging a more systematic study of American affairs, "have been studied quite as much in this country as they have in America, but there are extraordinarily few books by English authors about American history and institutions.

ITALY'S WEALTH GOES UP IN SMOKE ROME, Feb. 14. — Along Italy's present effort to free herself from the bondage of foreign coal domination by the electrification of her state railways, Italy is making an equally heroic effort to throw off the yoke of foreign tobacco slavery. Between what Italy now pays for foreign coal and foreign tobacco, it can be truthfully said that a goodly portion of her national wealth goes annually up in smoke—and foreign smoke at that. What makes it particularly hard for Italy to gain her tobacco independence is the fact that just as she gets her nostrils nicely filled with the sweet scent of liberty and is on the point of burning her fetters with the lighted stump of a domestic made cigar, the Italian population as a whole suddenly takes to smoking more than ever, and Italy has to return spend in millions abroad in order to supply the demand.

MRS. HATFIELD SABINA, OHIO In Pitiable Condition when she Began Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Sabina, Ohio. — I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness and irregularity. I was weak and nervous and could hardly stand on my feet long enough to cook a meal. I was this way for about a year and had tried several medicines and had a physician, but to no avail. My sister was taking your medicine and finally induced me to try it. I now feel fine and can do my housework without any trouble at all. You can use this letter for the sake of others if you wish." — Mrs. WELDON G. HATFIELD, R. R. 3, Sabina, Ohio. Housewives make a great mistake in allowing themselves to become so weak and nervous that it is well-nigh impossible for them to attend to their necessary household duties. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound should be taken when you first notice such symptoms as nervousness, backache, weakness and irregularity. It will help you and prevent more serious trouble. Give it a fair trial. It surely helped Mrs. Hatfield, just as it has many, many other women.

Allen Jr., accused of a statutory offense against pretty Martha Miller, is enunciated to begin-today before a jury in Judge Houser's court. The trial will follow the passing of sentence upon Dr. Lefande Taylor, convicted of compounding a felony.

TRY TO MAKE BONUS UNPOPULAR LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14.—Following his return from Washington, Buron R. Pitts, past commander of the America Legion, and national committeeeman from this state, declared that advocates of taxes on gasoline, motor vehicles and theatre tickets as a means of raising funds to carry the Adjusted Compensation Act into effect were merely trying like Secretary Mellon to make the act so unpopular that it would be voted down.
