A few songs to our King and our country

we asked a pleasant looking man few
questions, of course. On his cap we read
''Fotograf," and wondered how a picture

short circuits and engines working to-

BRICKS AND TILES
They Rained From the City Hall
Tower With a Smash

At o'clock yesterday afternoon a
terra-cotta brick fell from some part
Of the big city hall tower upon the
smaller tower above the mayors office
where it broke two tiles, which were
shivered in many pieces on the side
wilk in front of the hall. The big brick
rebounded from the tiles into the gut
ter where it's pieces were picked up by
Councilman Baker and other persons
who were attracted by the noise of the
smash. A little girl who was walking
toward Second street narrowly es-
capped being hurt by the pieces of broken
tilr as they fell.
II is believed that boys on squad
hunting expedition must have gained
access to the tower and loosened brick
witch lay in one of the ventilating
Sits at the top. and that the pigeons in
cleaning out their nests pushed the
brick out.
This matter needs looking after or the
city may some day have nice little
damage suit on its hands.

five days the swelling and pain would al

I consulted the English and German Spe-
cialists about five months ago, and was
thoroughly examined and they told me
that course of treatment might relieve
my trouble. Just before each of the re-
curing attacks these specialists gave me
local treatment and the period of swelling
did not return after the first month. The
treatment was continued and the local
treatment used at each expected period
for three months, at which time the knee
appeared perfectly normal in every respect
and the local treatment was discontinued.

OIL BUR NERS
Perfection and Economy in Using Oil

Perfection and Economy in Using Oil
1t may be news to many people to know
that great deal of manufacturing is done
in Los Angeles. There are fewer great
establishments than in many eastern cities
of the same size, but there are a great
many establishments. several hundred at
least. where manufacturing in many

put amounts to surprisingly large figure,
contributing largely to the general pros
perity of the city.
Prominent in the list of the manufactur-
ing industries of this city is the name of
d. G.. Wilgus, 1926 East Third street, who
makes and sells all sorts of machine work.
Mr.. Wilgus' specially is inventive manu-
factures, and several OF the articles and
machines put out by him are coming into
general use wherever they have been intro
duced.
Two of Mr.. Wilgus' specialties are his
steam oil burner, calculated for use
wherever oil is used to generate steam
and in brick kilns and furnaces of every
description, and his lawn sprinkler. The
burner is guaranteed to make perfect COM
bustion, the flame not being in contact with
the boiler. 1t uses two-thirds less steam
to atomize the oil than others, makes
less noise. and will generate more steam
with less oil. This is big claim, but the
proof of the burner lies in the using of
it. Mr.. Wilgus has just closed contract
with the California Beet Sugar and Re-
fining company to supply the oil burners
for it's big plant at Crockett. The burners
are also in use at the Chino and Los Ala
mitos factories. where they have given per-
feet satisfaction.
Many of the leading firms and corpora
tions in Los Angeles using oil for fuel have
equipped their plants with these burners.
The Los Angeles Street Railway company
uses them, so does the Traction company.

fectly reliable, for obvious reasons. and
the mere fact that they are using the
Wilgus burner makes further endorsement
unnecessary. Maier & Zobelein, the Cud-
ahy Packing company represent other lines
of business and manufactures using these
burners. All the leading hotels have the
burner in their plants and are more than
satisfied with it. 1t is, in fact. a necessity
in oil burning plants if economy and per-
feet satisfaction are to be considered.
Mr. Wilgus' reputation as a manufac-
turer is not entirely local An Arizona
firm writes: "You are recommended to us
by the Fraser & Chalmus company" This
company, located in Chicago, is perhaps
the largest dealer in mining machinery in
the country.
The Office and works are right down
town, at 1as East Third street. convenient
for everybody from the city or out of town.
Mr. Wilgus Is prepared to do small or large

he undertakes. 1t Is unnecessary to go

Eyesioht Restored

The little 6-year-old son of Mr. L. H
Valentine was afflicted with eye trouble
when an infant, and for nearly five years
was treated by many doctors and special
lists without relief. Two months ago the
little fellow was brought to the English
and German Expert Specialists in a most
pitiable condition, being compelled to wear
a mask to protect his weak and painful
eye. After two months treatment by these
great doctors the mask was thrown aside
and the boys eye was perfectly well.
This case is one of hundreds that have
been cured by the English and German
Expert Specialists after other doctors had
failed.
Mr.. l.. H. Valentine, whose address is
