Lew Chew's Spring Hat Demoralizes the Oriental Quarter of Los Angeles?Confucian Customs Set at Naught by Iconoclastic New Women. [ Los Angeles' Chinatown Is In the jlhroeB of a social War that bids fair to Tput the recent tong disturbances far in jthe dim distance. Not since the time jbaek in the seventies when indignant (Citizens hung a number of the Chinese - teilte to telegraph poles has there been such a feeling of sudden death and des ? ' olation as now hangs like a black pall ??over the yellow colony. And it all happened because Mrs {Lew Chew, wife of Lew Mpi, tried to ?"?buck" the ancient and time honored rform of dress held sacred to the Chi nese. In defiance of the laws of heaven And earth she tried the combination of Chinese pantaloons set off by a "Merry >Widow" sailor that would have made ?any woman sit up and gasp. Throwing the caution of her race to the whid, Madam Lew Chew marched down Apablasa street with a creation of modern millinery wabbling abont on Jter|Olly bangs and her tiny little shoes (going clickety-elick on the hard paving ?tones. The Chinese gamblers took one look and fainted. Lew Moi. lawful husband ' and lord of little Lew Chew, said things. i Lew Moi is a liberal man, and Mrs. the fear of the seven heavens, the seven hells, her liege lord, left her. The hat was a peach! It had several million flowers anchor ed on top. A gash of green peppers hung on like grim death to the star board side, while California poppies, Arizona hollyhocks and Long Beach lilies clamored for help and yelled for breath. The hat was not a creation; it simply was a shriek. Mrs. Lew cared not She paid for the "Merry Widow." Hav-. ing broken one vow, she cracked an other. She selected the next biggest thing in the store and perched It on the bead of the protesting and indignant Lew Lum. Then they, walked out of the store and toward the Chinese settlement They almost created a riot before they got there. With the mincing steps she had seen the women of the white race affect Mrs. Lew toddled down, the street From the rear it looker as if Paul de Longpere's rose garden was toddling along. The pair reached the corner of Juan and Apablasa streets, where Mrs. Lew has luxurious apartments. BE HAD BEEN HITTING THE PIPE?SUDDENLY A RUDE VISION BROKE IN ON HIS DREAMS. ?Lew is a social leader^ Accompanied by her eight-year-old daughter, Lew Lum, Mrs. Lew visited some of the downtown st6res.' Her daintily em broidered pantaloons flapped lightly against her slender ankles as she walk ed. Her hair was covered an Inch deep ?with Chinese hair paste, and several hundred dollars' worth of gold and jewels nestled in the heavy jet black coil at her neck. She entered a department store and walked about in search of prey; wan dered?into the millinery department and was lost She leaned up against a counter and gazed at some monstrous things hung about?gazed in wonder. I A woman approached and seemed friendly. Mrs. Lew thought she could trust her. She pointed \p a magnificent specimen and said falteringly, "What him good fob?" > ' The "nice lady took down the enor mous thing and placed it on the oily liead of the little Celestial lady. Mrs. fLew shied and looked scared. Then she looked at a mirror, and in a sec ond tribal instinct, racial training and It was with some difficulty that the woman and the hat got into the door. They approached the spot where sat the liege lord of the house. He had been hitting the pipe and was seeing things of a pleasant nature. Suddenly a rude vision broke in upon his dreams. He 6at up hurriedly and rubbed his eyes with the toe of his slipper. Then' he Jumped up. He had not been mistaken. This wo man, wearing a thing on the top of her head like a bird of ill omen, was his wife. He used language in large slices, while the neighbors crowded the door. Mrs. Lew was firm. She still has the hat; Lew Lum also has a hat Other Chinese women are looking on with envy, and a meeting of the United League For .the Protection of Chinese Husbands has been called to debate the question. Six months ago the Chinese women attempted to put aside pantaloons and wear skirts. The husbands burned the skirts at the stake. They threaten to launch the fury of the hatchet men upon-the "Merry Widows." Sent Kites After Thieves. Eddy, Sky Camera Expert, Wanted to Know Who Stole His Daughter's Ice Cream. I Cameras attached to a kite which ??was sent up several hundred feet were ?used recently by Assistant City Col jlector William A. Eddy of Bayonne, N. ?J., to discover who stole several quarts of ice cream from the rear porch of his residence, SS West Thirty-sixth street The resultant picture shows ?two men seated beneath a tree a few jbnndred yards from the Eddy home end eating the stolen cream; but, alas, :e features are too small to furnish a ?lew to the thieves, j The ice cream was to have formed part of a luncheon which Mr. Eddy's daughter had provided to entertain some of her your'' friends. When its loss was discovered Mr. Eddy, who i3 a well known kltefiier, got out one of his big kites and attached three cam eras o^ different sizes. He suspected some of the boys who had not been invited to his daughter's party to be the pilferers. When he had raised the kite to an altitude of several hundred feet he pulled a cord which operated the shutters of the cameras. Hastily developing the pictures, he made out the two men eating the cream and hurried to the spot, but they were gone. He recovered the empty ice cream boxes, however. Chinese Hero's Long Suffering Ends. Tears of pain and an agonizing death followed the brave act of Wong Chung Sue, a Chinese ranchman, who seven years ago saved the lives of scores of passengers by closing an open switch on the Southern Pacific railroad. Wong died the other day at the county hos pital at Los Angeles. The Chinaman had a ranch on one of the southern branches of the Southern Pacific. He came upon a switch that had been opened by tramps. A pas senger train was due, and Wong start ed to turn the switch into place. The rail swung into place just as the train hit it. Wong fell, and a step of one of the coaches struck him across the back, breaking his spine. At the hospital where he was sent a heavy plaster cast was fixed to Wong's body, and he remained In it until he died. If you haven't the :ime to exercise regularly.

THEY HELP MAKE BIG BAGS Rheumatism I have found a tried and tested cure for Rheu matism I Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pang3 of this deplorable disease. In Germany?with a Chemist In the City ot Darmstadt?I found the last ingredient with Which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last Ingredient. I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last, ituni formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rhoumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, f\nd the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need?no actual excuse-to suffer longer with out help.
