LOS ANGELES. Nov. !. There is
nothing small about Los Angeles
even her ambitions. As soon as
the cheering that followed the an
nouncement of the city's census bad
died down and there was some loud
and long cheering plans were started
for an eztenatve campaign of boosting
to set a new figure for the census of
12. -A million for 1K0" Is the cry
beard ea all slJes.
The real estate men see unlimited
profit In thla crusade and tha business
man la perfectly willing to take his
share. And many of the people here
actually believe that In another de
cade the population of Loa Angeles
will be returned one million souls.
Interviews have been printed In all
the papers from prominent cltlsens. In
which tha slogan Is featured extenalve
lr. -Statistics showing Oie percentage
of growth In Southern California, which
renters in this city have been cited as
proof of the prognostication that the

Philadelphia alone being given places
ahead. Flg'ires and labiea nare oen

growth of the city. Everybody la anxious
to make the showing at the next census
as big aa possible.
Bert L. Farmer, supervisor of the re
cent local census, waxes enthusiastic
when the subject Is mentioned. "Our
population has a cumulative effect," he
said to The Oregonlan correspondent.
"It Increases mors rapidly the greater
the population becomes, for the simple
reason that all who come out bring
others In the future. Every newcomer
la the vanguard for five others within
a period of three years, and for that
reason. If for no other, los Angeles
should reach the half million mark
easily by 191J." Just bow Mr. Fanner
arrived at hla figures and ratio he did
not explain, but he spoke with a confi
dence that made evident his own be
lief In hla statement. He continued:
"My first report to the bureau contained
the figures U9.1S1. A second checking up
showed that there were seventeen more
persons than In the first count, and so
these seventeen were added to the origi
nal forwarded figures, and the total re
mains exactly as we figured It.
The spirit of boost that has prevallsd
here In the part must continue In the
future. Nothing should Interfere In the
development of this Into the greatest
town without a single exception on the
Pacific Coast. A number of our Coast
cities In the past six months have
shown retrogression as fsr as population
la concerned. It would be unfair to
mention them and point a finger of de
rision at their untimely backward move
ment for the simple reason that no
cities on this Coast will go back very
far. With the Influx yearly of thousands
of settlers they will all progress and
Increase In slse. They cannot expect to
rival Los Angeles, with It magnificent
climate and Ita strategic commercial po
sition, which makes tributary all of Ne
vada. Utah, Aiisona. New Mexico. Texas
and the great and fast developing north
west of Old Mexico." After waiting for
this bit of fulsome boosting to sink In,
he added: 'The opening of the Panama
Canal will see too.Ouv population here,
and by the time the next census Is In
order. Los Angeles will be able to boast
l.ftOO.OCO Inhabitants. The pull-together
spirit that baa made us great in the
past will Increase our greatnesa In the
future."
Million Club Is Launched.
Charles G. Andrews, vice-president of
the Lee Angeles Realty Board, launched
the Million Population Club, and every-

what loose at present. Inasmuch as the
matter of joining consists simply of
saying so. No one is unmindful of the
advertising the publication of the popu
lation and the "11.5 per cent increase is
giving the city, and as everyone here la
a booster, the advertising is being made
the most of. And to crystallize the at
tention of the people of the city on the
necessity of contnued boosting a cele
bration Is being planned by the Chamber
of Commerce, acting on the suggestion
of the Mayor. The Mayor pointed out
that SO years ago Ixs Angeles boasted
a population of 11.1S3. and this suggested
st once a historical pageant as a promi
nent feature of the celebration. Los An
geles history, from its early days as a
Spanish pueblo to the present time, of
fers rare opportunities for this kind of a
display. Already divisions of the pageant
planned include the day of the hidalgo
under Spanish rule, the old mislons and
the Indians, the arrival of the 49ers. the
advent of General John Fremont and his
bear flag men, the slow growth of the
pueblo until within the pant, three de
cades, ami then Its tremendous strides
forward until it has become the 17th city
of the United States.
Mathematician Moves South;
James Klngcade arrived at the Sol
diers1 Home In Sawtelle this week, after
a long trip from Oregon and Washing
ton where he hue lived for many years.
Kingcade Is a mathematician and tackles
Abstruse problems that make your head
ache even to think of. And he eolvea
them. too. The day after his arrival he
opened a school of mathematics and said
he hoped to make a big thing of it. Ho
la a Civil War veteran and a teacher
of the old school. His mathematical
tum of mind, he says, is due entirely
to a system of his own which be has
worked out after many years of study.
"Mathematics Is as simple as A, B. C.
except when teachers make it hard." ha
says. "Imagination should play a large
part in the solution of all problems.
Imsglne your result and let a letter
stand for It: then reverse the process In
dicated In the problem and you have your
result." Simple. Isn't It? But the old
man makes it work successfully, and
teachers in the local colleges who have
heard the veteran explain his system,
find much to marvel at. "I had no spe
cial gift for mathematics," explained
Klngcade. "and I went to school only
nine months before I began teaching. I
taught four years before the war. served
through the war In the Sixth Indiana In
fantry and went back to teaching after
the war."
For 38 years Klngcade lived In differ
ent parts of Oregon and Washington.
When he decldpd to come to Sawtelle and
the Soldiers Home, he did not take a
train In the usual way. but Instead, he
made figures bring him. He tells of
the trip this way: "I stopped at all the
schools and colleges and saw the profes
sors and teachers and with a little ex
planation sold them some of my meth
ods. When I got to Los Angeles I had
1760 and I started from Seattle with only
a little silver. I picked up a good many
quarters on the way by selling to stu
dents problems with which to stick the
teachers." Several old textbooks on al
gebra, geometry and trigonometry. In
which not the slightest effort is made
toward simplifying the problems for the
benefit of the pupil, are among the
choicest treasures of this old teacher.
"They leave out all the hard ones In the
books today." he says.
"Preen,' Advises Prcaclier to Girls.
The young- lady part of Los Angeles
Is preening Itself with a good deal of
satisfaction these days because it has
been told It Is a part of Its duty to
do so. And all on .account of a talk
made by the Rev. A. C. Bmithers at the
Y. W. C. A. He told a large audience
of girls and young women that It waj
necessary for mem to be attractive,
sweet, winsome, lovable and altogether
womanly. He said It was right for
them to put powder on their pretty
cheeks and noses, arrange their tresses
In the most approved style, wear ear
rings or diamond sunbursts, wear their
pretty frocks and do their best to cap
ture a husband. For, said the clergy
man. "It la woman s greatest duty to
be attractive: It Is natural for her to
want to win the approval of the oppo
site sex. and above all. there Is noth
ing In the world so lonely as a single
woman over '40. while under ordinary
circumstances the happiest woman Is
she who has a 'nun band, a bungalow
and a baby."
Mr. Smlthcrs made his "hearers sit up
In astonishment when he declared: "If
a young girl sees some chap that sne
fancies, she does not have to wait for
the possible chance of an introduction
to achieve a meeting. She can secure
this introduction by a hundred devious
and clever little ways: at least, girls
used to be able to do this wien I was
a boy, and I don't believe they are much
different now." Discussing this com
ment after his lecture, Mr. Smlthers
said: "I did not mean anything Immoral
by fnla, I assure you. But I did mean
that nice, wide-awake girls can find
many right waya of meeting boya they
like without waiting- overtone; for
chance. I don't, of course, mean flir
tations, or chsnce pick-up acquaint
onces, but then well, young people are
young people, and girls as well as boys
are clever at securing their own way."
"Do you mean that girls should be the
hunters: that after marking their quarry
they should run It down and even pro
poser he was seed by an anxious girl.
"Judging from the way women are ad
vancing in suffrage and other rights. I
fancy that before long we men will be
shyly listening to avowato of love, and
that then some girls may learn how
dreadfully humiliating it Is to be refused.
replied the doctor with a savage licad
shake which belled the twinkling eyeei
During his talk on the duty of beautifl
cation he said: "I have been here in Los
Angeles for twenty years, and I have
seen little girls grow up and become
mothers, and their babies I am now help
ing start out on Ufes Journey. And.
I aeaure you, many of those who are the
beet wives and mothers are those who
always look tremendously attractive In
the face, figure and coiffure, whose
gowns are chosen in good taste, and
whose hats are becoming. One thing I
must say right here, however, and that
Is that girls should not wear these very
large hats. Those Immense hats are an
abomination, actually a crime. They
encroach on the rights and properties
of others. But f they must be worn. I
ahall endeavor to have racks In my
church where women may check these
immense head-pieces, under the care of
a heavily bonded guardian."
Indians Mored Along.

the Indians from their choicest areas
into tracts barren and devoid of fertil

30.000 acres of desert, now barren and un

productive. The Federal Government,
realising the vae benefits to be derived
from controlling tho movements of the

ITALIAN POOR SUFFERING
High Prices of Necessities Cause of
General Discontent.
ROMEX Nov. 18. (Special.) Every now
and a raln a bitter cry of dtecontent Is
raised In the cities of Italy against the
cost of living, which tnreatene to iar
outstrip the Increased meana of the in
habitants; especially when it can be
proved that the rise In the price of food
or lodging is largely artificial, as is not
unfrequently the case In those places
where foreigners resort and tempt the
greedy purveyors of the necessaries of
life to reap an unearned harvest.
In Rome the question of existence for
the poorer claiwes becomes every year
more acute. Today we are told that
the Syndic ha9 had a long conference
with Signor Luxzatti, Minister of the In
terior, as to what means can be taken
to house some hundreds of unfortunate
people who have no other refuge at
night than porticos and doorwaye in the
streets.
This is not the first time that the
Syndic- has promised action of some
kind, but so far nothing has been done.
The Pope has been so impressed by the
difficulties of life In Rome that 'two
days ago he raised all the salaries of
the small employes of the Vatican 25 per
cent. That, of course, is a step which,
though pofwihle in the Vatican, with a
very limited number of dependents, can
not be taken elsewhere.
A good deal of the evil is artificial and
might be remedied, as far as the price
of food is concerned, by some action on
the part of the authorities. The price
of meat, dairy produce, fruit and vege
tables is purely artificial and due to
combination among the producers and
principal vendors. The smaller the de
mand sometimes, the higher are the
prices to make up for the loss in the
quantity sold.

strength? No! They tear down instead of building

nerves and vitals with a glowing stream of electric
fire. It will drive out your pains and aches, build
up your strength and vitality and restore your health
by giving every Organ of your body the power to
eliminate disease from the eystem by the natural
process.
Electra-Vlta is a scientific device for infusing the
body with a powerful but soothing current of elec
tricity, for hours at a time, without the least shock
or unpleasant sensation. Electra-Vlta Is not like
electric belts, faradic batteries and other contrivances
you may have seen or used. It gives a continuous
current without charging. All you have to do Is adjust
It correctly and turn on the power to the proper de
gree of strength. It helps nature cure by renewing
