between tea sips and dinner courses.

expert, skilled in every form of danc
ing under the sun. And. what's more,
they know how to teach others. So.
If you don't know how to rag and
tango, the way is open to learn. It
might cost a good deal of money oth
erwise to be taught these steps from
far less skilled dancers. The first
dancing lesson will be given after the
Remember, Miss Lloyd and her com
pany will remain here only one week,
so it beehoves the ambitious dancer
to start early. Those who attend the
matinee may remain in their seats
and watch the fun, or they may go on
the stage and become schooled in the
mazes of the fascinating tango. Inci
dentally. Frank Fogarty, the "Dublin
minstrel." whp has a host of friends
here, will'be on hand to lend some
humor to the occasion and officiate as

Oakland Prima Donna Kept Her Pact, but Press Agent Was
Too Slow, So He Didn't Get a Picture of the Event
How Mabel Riegelman, the petite,
young and pretty Oakland prima
donna now singing leading roles with
the Chicago Grand Opera company,
took a wild ride on the cowcatcher of
a locomotive—just to show that Amer
ican girls are more daring than the
fair ones of other nations—is told by
the songstress in a letter received to
day by Attorney Marcus L. Samuels,
who, in addition to being a member of
the National Geographic society and a
lawyer, is the lady's husband.
The whole scheme originated in the
mind of an imaginative Dress agent,
but before the "stunt" endad, his hair
had threatened to turn white. The plan
| was that Amy Evans, a pretty Welsh
singer; Alice Zepelli of Italy. Louise
Berat of France and Miss Riegelman
should perform some daring act to
show the inherent bravery of their
countrywomen, and, incidentally, to
reflect glory on the opera company on

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1913
Miss Evans was to stop a perfectly
good runaway. Signora Zepelli was
to kiss a perfectly willing Philadel
phia official. Mile. Berat had been
chosen to drive a perfectly wild auto
mobile, while Miss Riegelman was as
signed the task of riding the pilot of
a Lehigh Valley mogul.
Everything went smoothly until Miss
Riegelman stepped lightly to the front
of the engine. With a jerk the loco
motive started, and, before Miss Rie
gelmen could leap to safety, the en
gine started at high speed toward the
Canadian line. Excitedly the three
other sopranos, with varying accents,
besought the conductor to stop the
train. The special had covered four
miles to Allentown In almost as many
minutes before the engine was checked
and Miss Riegelman was rescued from
the cowcatcher desperately clutching
a tiny American flag that she was to
have waived proudly before the eye of
the press agent's camera.

CRUDE OIL WILL
KILL OFF GOPHER
Crude oil Is all that is necessary to
exterminate gophers from your gar
den, according to Dr. Harold C.
Bryant, who has made a study of the
burrowing pests for the University of
California. Bryant has learned that
at night tb« gophers, supposed to re
main in their tunnels, come to the
surface of the earth and forage for
food.
When some street repairs were
being made in Berkeley Bryant dis
covered the habit of the gophers. A
strip of crude oil was left one night
along an excavation. Next morning
Bryant found 50 gophers trapped ln
the sticky substance.
Here is what Bryant now suggests.
If a strip of oil two feet wide will
trap 50 gophers in one night in
Berkeley, why will not such a strip
capture gophers migrating into an
orange grove?

'NO SURRENDER!'
SAYS REV. BAIRD
WOODLAND, Dec. s.—One of the
most bitter legal battles ever fought
in this section of the state will be
staged in a few days, when real action
begins ln the suit of the vestrymen of
St. Luke's Episcopal church against
the "fighting parson," the Rev. Ed
ward John Baird.
It Is the purpose of the action to
oust tlie minister from the church, to
prohibit him from holding further
services, to recover the church prop
erty now held by him and to cause the
delivery of the property to the vestry
men.
In opposition to this the Rev. Mr.
Baird says he will continue to hold
services in St. Luke's church even if
he preaches to empty pews. The pas
tor also says that his wife, who fled
from him. will shortly return and that
there will be a reconciliation.
