Approximately1 150 business men are expected to' attend- Eighth District Leaders Hold Up Petitions for Time Being Petitions for the zoning of the Eighth Councllmanlc district of Long Beach failed to materialize at yesterdays meeting of the city planning commission, and H. O. Henderson, chalrifian of the board, announced that petitioners have decided to postpone presentation for a time. The Eighth district lies between California avenue, west of Temple avenue, north of Eleventh street and south of the Pacific Electric line and contains 680 acres. When the district waa-annexed the council pledged the voters 'that no move anticipating zoning would be made until a petition was forthcoming from the inhabitants of the section.

This was six years ago. A week ago, when the proposal to zone was made, Councilman C. B. Michener and William L. Evans, former councilman of the district, 'announced they would see that the non-zoning promise is kept.

A year ago Robert B. Taplin, city planning engineer, surveyed the district and found it contained the equivalent, of 3086 fifty-foot lots, 2280 being occupied by dwellings, 184 by business, 69 by industries 'and 53 for school or municipal pur-. poses. The population was estimated at .12,195. The planning commission yester: day voted to recommend to the city council that the name of that portion of Magnolia avenue and Cypress avenue in Los Cerritos, extending from near the entrance to the Virginia Country club to Pacific avenue and Thirty-sixth street be changed to Country Club drive.

On thC petition of Hazel Bland- field for permission to establish a beauty parlor at the southeast corner of St. Louis avenue and Eleventh street, the board voted favorably, recommending that the council grant the permit with the 'understanding that it be revoked when the Eighth Councllmanlc district is zoned. The location of the proposed site of the beauty parlor Is across the street from the Eighth district boundary. In discussing noii-conformlng use board decided to send a request to the council that the zoning ordinance be amended so as to render it unnecessary for the council to act, giving the planning full authority to grant or deny such permit petitions. The ordinance originally was drawn after this fashion, but was amended the Alamltos oil boom.

The planning board would have council only on appeal, Rabbi Goes North for. Holidays Attorney Julius Liebert, formerly 'the rabbi of the West Anaheim Jewish church, has gone to Portland to preside at the synagogue during the coming Jewish holidays. For a number of years Mr. Liebert was rabbi of the Portland congregation, and he was Invited to reside at the, services this year. lr.

and Mrs. Liebert will be gone everal weeks. op The Magnolia District Improvement association passed a resolution to the board of education asking that the work on the Chestnut avenue school be rushed and that the plant include the grades from the kindergarten to the sixth grade. The action was precipitated In the meeting of the association by a committee, of three from the Pacific. Avenue Northwest association who urged that the Magnolia group take action on the matter of the school That only the first four grades would be housed the proposed school was the principal objection of the group.

Delay of the building program was alleged by the committee from the Pacific avenuo group. The plans for the building are now being drawn by the architects.

The complaint accuses the defendants of falling to comply with the drilling requirements so that they could drain the oil from beneath Moore's land by off-set wells sunk adjoining leases. Moore asserts the Rio Grande company and its subsidiaries agreed to sink five wells to a minimum depth of 2500 feet, but that they had abandoned drilling operations before the full contract had completed.

Kieren, Harold J. Muth, Harry M. Wintz. So--many applications are' being received this month that the October quota for the Southern California area has been increased to sixty, it was announced.

Special entertainment features have been provided for those who will visit the store tonight when no goods will be sold, and Saturday morning, the business of serving its customers will go forward without further formality. Established twenty-seven 0 years ago, the Wise company has enjoyed uninterrupted progress throughout the years and the new building is recognized as a tribute to the policies of this big department store.

The. more than a quarter-century which has elapsed since W. H. Wise opened the first store of the Cash Store company, predecessor to the Wise company, have necessitated several changes in location. Early History This first Bmall store made its start in modest quarters at the corner of First and Pine on the site now occupied by the Bank of Italy just two years after the present century began.

The Long Beach Press was. just around the comer. C. J. Walker had an office next door: That was the year in which the present Pike, Long Beachs famous amusement zone, had its beginning.

The following year the first municipal pavilion, forerunner of the new million dollar auditorium and Rainbow pier, was buit at a cost of $6800 only to be destroyed by a mysterious fire a short time later. Four years later, In 1906, business of the little store, with new depart-mentgadded, had grown so that it became necessary to find new quarters to accommodate its customers. The business was moved to a larger room at the present site of 333 Pine avenue, where it remained for five years. Long Beach was beginning to show the earmarks of her future growth at that time. As evidence, in 1907 this city introduced motorized fire fighting equipment to the Pacific coast in the form of a big red Rambler combined hose and ladder truck.

Store Outgrown In 1911 Eighteen years ago, in 1911, the business had again outgrown its quarters and this time a location on Broadway, just west of Pine avenue, was selected. Herd a room with a frontage of fifty feet was occupied, to be augmented In a short time with another one of equal size. In this store the business was continued for fourteen years when, after plans for a modern four floor and basement structure had been formulated and the building completed, the Wise company moved to the store on Broadway which they have occupied until now and which at present forms a portion of the Greater Wise Store. Among the many noteworthy innovations adopted in the building of the new Wise store is a heatingcooling system operated through individual units which radiate warm air on cool wintry days and cool alt In the' summer. These radiators, which are not unlike an automobile radiator In appearance and principle, are' built into the store columns at regular intervals throughout the building, insuring an equalbeness of temperature in all Hot water heat is provided, each unit being individually heated by electricity, while electric fans force the air through the coil of the radiator and into the room.

In season, cold water is forced through the radiators and the same fans carry the cooled air to every corner of the building. Augmenting the present ventilating system which insures an even flow of pure air, the heatingcooling plant is designed exclusively to regulate the temperature and will contribute much to the comfort of patrons and employes. Four Escalators Four Otis escalators of the latest type have been installed in the new building as the most modern method of "vertical transportation available for department stores. This particular installation is unique in that it Is the largest Installation of department store escalators In any city of this size in America. Each escalator Is capable of handling 4000 passengers an hour, conveying patrons in both directions from the first to the third floors.

Novel lighting A Symphony of Lights, better than any other phrase, describes the novel lighting system which has been Installed In the Pine avenue display windows of the new Wise building. Utilizing a principle similar to the music roll of a mechanical piano, where there Is a flow of musical this lighting system accomplishes the identical effect in an endless flow of changing color. As a result window displays are pressions from friends residing OPTIMISTS PLAN DRIVE TO RAISE COTTAGE FUNDS The weekly meeting of the Optimist club yesterday at the Virginia was devoted to the transaction of business and a short program by James McGarrigle, tenor. The singer was accompanied by Harold Driver. Joe Riddick was program chairman.

Preparation for the drive for the fund to -complete the Long Beach cottage at the Optimist boys home is being made and the drive will start following the World Series baseball games next week. The division of the club into teams will be complete at that time. The club is planning to repeat their drive for the charity fund by selling peanuts and other confections at the score board next week. Charles Jorgensen and R. V.

Campbell were Introduced to the club as the new members of the organization. Fred Thomas was in charge of the Introduction. Dick Bixby, chairman of the drive for the boys home, reported that $1500 had already been raised toward the fund. Several members added donations totaling nearly $100 to that amount The Optimists will have a bridge party tonight at 8 oclock in the Belmont Beach club. An invitation will be extended on order of the club to the golfers in the other Optimist clubs of Southern California to play the annual golf tournament here.

The place and the date of the tournament will be announced later. HEAVY CARGO OF TUNA UNLOADED The Glendale, bringing In a cargo of 250 tons of tuna, arrived at the Halfhlll Tuna Packing companys dock at the east end of Channel 3 late yesterday. The tuna boat brought its cargo from Turtle bay, where the tuna are said to be running In large schools.

Booth, 74, tuck himself under a sandy coverlet on the beach in the 1000 block for another night, but "turned him in to police detectives late yesterday. Detective Sergeant Tom Butler took Booth into headquarters, where he was given lodging for the night.

The old man admitted sleeping in the sand the night before. diffused with a constantly changing flood of color harmonies, with the graduation from one to another so gradual and so completely in harmony as to be scarcely discernible. A troupe of Spanish muslcis' who are fast making a national name for themselves through the medium of the talkies, will add to the festive air of the Wise store housewarming which takes place tonight The artists referred to are Jose Arias and his Spanish Troubadours who, it will be remembered, represented Southern California at the spsquiccntennlal celebration in Philadelphia several years ago.

Spanish Musicians Garbed In colorful Spanish, costumes, Senor Arias and his companions will. play the fayored airs of Spain and Old Mexico. Among their number will be Senor Jacobs Rosete, a noted musicians from the Argentine and one of the few artists qualifying as an expert on the salterio, a typical Latin-Amer-ican instrument similar in appearance to the old time dulcimer. It is not hard to recognize the skill required to play this sweet-toned instrument when one learns that It has, 120 strings. Rosete Is one of the very few salterlsts In North America, where he has recently been featured In concerts in many larger cities.

Another notable artist the Arias troupe Is.
