WANT TO BE JAlL0R
Lively Competition Going on In the City
Jail


Jail
For some time past there has been con-
siderable discussion as to the advisability
of taking the control of the city Jail from
Captain Roberts and placing regular
jailor in charge, who shall have entire d-
rection of the place. as to what the pris-
oners are to eat and, in fact. to be held re-
sponsible for all expenditures in that de-
partment. This transfer is not the result
of any derilection or fault on the part of
Captain Roberts, but its advocates claim
that the management can be conducted
more satisfactorily when the jailor has
full charge, as is shown in other institu-
tons of the kind.
When Chief Glass was appointed to the
head of the local police department the
meals were being served to the city Jail by
outside parties on contract at the rate of
121a cents apiece. This was soon changed
and the cooking and all other work done
by the prisoners, saving of from $4OO to
5000 month being made.
What is desired by the advocates for the
jailor is not to change this method of pre-
pairing the meals but to allow the jailor to
do all the purchasing and have to consult
with no one about the management of the
establishment. Although nothing definite
has yet been done regarding the matter
there are plenty of applicants for the posi-
ton, and already the two men in charge of
the Jail at present have begun to lay wires
to pull in the job if it is created. They are
Jailors Siewekie and Moore. Competition
has become quite animated between them
as to who shall run the eating expenses of
the Jail the lowest. The meals average
now from 319 cents to a trifle over cents
each. s an example of the cost of the
meals under the present system and its
accompanying competition the following
are given: In August 1924 meals were
served at a cost of $232, which averages
trifie over 5 cents each. In September
the figures were: Number of meals. 5Oi5;
cost, 81 1928; average, less than 4 cents.
For October the following are shown:
Number of meals, 663S; cost, S26S.35;
average, 4 cents; and in November: Meals,
1921; cost, $279.70; average, trifle over
81 cents.
1t is asserted that, as result of this
competition, the prisoners do not get
enough to eat. The members of the chain
gang are the only ones who receive three
meals day, the rest having to be content
with two-breakfast about 6 o'clock in the
morning and dinner at 4 in the afternoon.

The Los Angeles Traction company is
hard at work on the University extension
to its line. Manager Hook expects to have
the line completed and in running order
by February 1 or before.
Immediately on the completion of the
University extension, work will be COM
menced on the Westlake division. The
line will run out Eighth street parallel with
the line now operated by the Consolidated
Electric company. This line will be pushed
rapid y to completion, but at present it is
impossible for the management to say just
when it will be ready for use. The roadbed
will be made of the same thirty-foot heavy
rails as formerly.
A new style of car, corresponding to that
now in use in San Francisco, will be used
by this company. The entrance to the
open platform will be at both sides and
end, while there is special entrance for
those entering the closed part of the car
Lower steps than usual will be placed on
the ends, so as to add to the passengers
convenience. The length of the cars will
be about the same as tie present pattern.

THE FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Interesting Paper Read by Mrs. nila Tur
1aynard

| Interesting Paper Read by Mrs. niIa Tupper
naynard
! Mrs. Mia Tupper Maynard, at the Fri
day Morning club yesterday, delineated
Browning's Saul. She compared the poem
to a finished picture in which the artist de-
! picts the most with the smallest number Of
lines. $50 in Saul" said the speaker,
"Browning presents his character in sim
pie, vivid and dramatic outlines. There is
not word too much"
Mrs. Maynard wildly sketched the life
of Saul and that of David from Biblical
history. Then taking up copy of Brown
ing she showed the beautiful clothing of
the story, of the scenes enacted in the tent,
picturing Saul standing with outstretched
arms grim, stark figure, dead to all his
surroundings and his people.
Life pictures, as presented by the shep-
herd boy, failed to arouse the brooding SOW
ereign, and the singer David related the
triumphs of the great King Saul, whose
name would not perish, but whose deeds of
the past had entered into the life of the
people. The boy then laid aside his harp
and fell to thinking, remembering the
mornings with his sheep, of spiritual things,
of what there was to life beyond the blue
sky The God-child prayed that that
power which had never failed him before
would again stand by him to enable him to
reveal this to the brooding king. AS in a
vision, these thoughts were reflected to
Saul. who drew the boys face to him with
a responding love.
The speaker then described the under
lying thought or beautiful moral of the
poem.
Continuing. she said: ''There is just
cOmpensatiOn in the moral law While the
highest life is its own reward, sin is it's own
misery. Christ came not to call the right
eous. but the sinner. The king who failed
in his earthly career has found an eternal
kingdom. There is salvation for King
SAUL"

Whereas, Business on Los Angeles street

of the tramps infesting this portion of this

that there is 5-cent restaurant now rum

a lO-cent restaurant on the opposite cor

other Scent restaurant on Los Angeles

given for cents and beds for cents. At
least two of these places are in bad repute.
Tramps and loafers, covered with vermin,
stand around the openings of these places,
