SAFEGUARD THE YOUTH

The Importance of safeguarding city youth from ma
lign influences is brought out wildly in remarks
quoted yesterdays Herald The making Of attractive
Fairgrounds children is the subject which evoked
remarks and they expressed by a woman who is
taking leading part in such provision for Los Angeles
children The gist of them is we'll worthy of reproduce
tion here:
In the city boy dramazes the pages in the yellow
journal" Where he has room to play at all he pays
policeman and robber and goes through the form of
arrestng of his comrades and convcting them
in even going so far to give them mock
plenty of room TO romp and enjoy things as happy
healthy boy should The yellow journal" has the
attraction for him, his mind is occupied with
more wholesome thoughts.
1t is necessary for boy to have vent for his
exuberant vvacty as it is for live volcano to have
vent its gases That is true of the boys of every
land particularly of American boys No other boys

nation those who destined to be the men of
America few years hence.
1t surely is OF vital Importance therefore that these
of the future be guided properly while they
the formative period of life character In the country
rule. boys find natural outlets for their vyacity,
noted in the above quotation, outlets that of the
wholesome kind and conducive to true manness. In
cities however, there many pitfalls in the pathway
of youth; more treacherous nor more hanefu
pointed above found in the vicious literature
and pictorial abomination of the "yellow journal"
It is especially important here in Los Angeles to
guard against this yellow peril because 1t is Haunted
daily in the faces of the boys and girls Of this city.
Any movement calculated to draw the attention of youth
from such corruptng influence is highly commendable
You cannot expect grapes of thorns figs of thstles

SOCIAL
DIARY AND GOSSIP
Club Members Receive

The beautiful new home of Mrs F. F..
Trask at 5O2S Echo street was the scene
of a brilliant reception yesterday after
noon when the Highland Park Ebell
club entertained a large company OF
guests. The affair was given as finale
for the work of the club year, and was
one of the most delightful of the social
functions given by the Los Angeles
women's clubs. Pink carnations, the
club flower, were used in great pro-
fusion in the decora tions. In the re-
ception hall where the receiving party
stood, asparagus plumosus was grace
fully twined over the woodwork, and
in the living room, pink sweet peas
were the blossoms employed with pleas
ing effect. The flowers and ferns banked
the mantel, and We're used in many
other places in the room. In the den,
where punch was served by Misses Car
olyne Knight and Anna Ritchey, two
young maids in fluffy dresses, pink
sweet peas and ferns were used, and in
the dining room, where half dozen
daintily gowned young women served
ices and bon -bons, carnations and ferns
were used entirely. Carnations in tall
vases were placed on the center table
and scattered over the cloth with the
ferns, while ferns also festooned the
walls. The young women in charge
there were Misses Elsa Palmer. Merriam
Palmer. Bess Rudesill and Leah Phil
lips. Miss Margaret Grant opened the
door for the guests and they were re-
ceived by the women who are just re-

THE EVER PRESENT TRANSIT PROBLEM

An interesting line of thought is suggested by the
statement that the electric transit carried 25 900
people from Los Angeles to the seaside Memorial
day. As reported, for sixteen hoursfrom o'clock
in the morning until mdnght-every nterurban
that out of into Los Angeles loaded with the
holiday crowd"
Notwithstanding the vast expansion of transit SER
vice within the last three four years, there seems
to be no change in the situation so far as passenger
accommodation is concerned. While the railway
panes are striving hard keep pace with the in
swamped with business such special occasions
Memorial day. But just such crowding of
Cured on Tuesday the rule last Sun
days and similar experience may be expected this
summer
The electric railway map Of Los Angeles and its
neghborhood begins to recall the appearance of wagon
Wheel with the spokes radang from the hub in nearly
every direction. But it is evident that and
spokes will be required meet the demands of the
rapidly increasing population in the city and it's
yirons The experience Of Los Angeles in this respect
suggests the transit experience of New York. When
the first relief from the horse system by the
building of elevated railway it thought the
transit problem had been solved But there
perceptibe relief even when other elevated lines were
built nor when the traction and surface sys-
TENS came into vogue The demand kept pace
with the supply of transit accommodation. And
now with the splendid subway system added to all the
rest the same crowded condition exists that caused
complaint thirty years ago. when only horse transit
available.
And that has been and will be the experience of Los
Angeles. 1t is experience that reminds all of the
prophetic words of Secretary Shaw on the occasion of
his visit when he alluded the future of Los Angeles
Build for the future and build big.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE NEXT

All Indications point to the defeat Of the nosaloon
ordinance by substantial majority. It will not sur
prise close observers if the majority proves to be
whelming.
But that result will not Indicate, by any means, that
Los Angeles is not in accord with the injunction to be
temperate in all things" 1t will not mean that the
people Of this enlightened city blind to the evils Of
that which "biteth like serpent" 1t will simply
that the thoughtful considerae members Of this com
munity-the property owners home makers and busi-
men-beeve that the nosaloon plan is impractical
ble ineffective and calculated to work harm the ctys
material interests
But the nosaoon agitation is likely to serve one
good purpose It already has caused wide discussion
of methods of minimizing the evils of the liquor traffic.
and that discussion will be pushed to practical result
directly after Fridays verdict at the polls. Thousands
Of voters who have determined to cast their ballots
against the no-saoon ordinance will eagerly take up
the subject OF liquor traffic reform by practical and
non-dostrucve method And that subject will be upper
as soon as the popular Judgment the pending
issue is recorded.
It appears to be the Judgment of most well bal
anced thinkers that liquor drinking. like original sin
is conrolable but not eradicable craving for slim
ulant of kind seems to be inherent in mankind
Promoters of the no-saoon movement well as the
patrons of saloons, have that craving and satisfy it,
Coffee and tea well as spirituous malt and vinous
liquors. stimuants, and the familiar table beverages
well known to be quite injurious to the system as
wine or beer.
Recognizing the fact that It is impracticable to stop
the of stimuants, whether they be whisky, wine,
beer coffee tea thoughtful believers in temperance
convinced reform energy should be bent in the
direction of correcting abuses in the traffic of slim
ulants. Starting from that point it is necessary next
to consider by what the best results may be
obtained in this line of reform What the evils OF
the liquor traffic and how shall they be attacked?
The police records and current news show that the
Da1n h1a eviIe IF linn in
taceable chiefly to the lowest class of saloons patron
lied by of low social strata. Then eliminate that
class of saloons. How? BY making the license tax so
high and by hedging them with such sharp surveillance
that they will be forced out of the business. At the
time stop the leaks in the drug break up
the blind pggeres eectualy and put the thumb
upon all liquor sellers alike
Los Angeles is the most temperate large city in
the United States, but it may be made still more tenn
perate by such practical method the suggested

Mrs. Elske in "Leah Kleschna"

Mrs. Fiske has increased her already
large following among American
theatergoers by her success as Leah
Kleschna," I'm which role she will be
seen at the Temple auditorium tonight.
Those who admired her Tess and
Becky Sharp and other portrayals find
new causes for admiration in her pres
ent character. the central figure in the
strongest play Mrs, Fiske has ever
had. The role differs from any other
she has ever played, but shows her
dramatic powers and introspective
genius at their height.

of Leah Kleschna" during her en-
Eagement at Temple auditorium will
be given on Saturday instead of Fri
day, as originally announced. She will
therefore appear tonight and Friday
night and on Saturday afternoon.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA

Pupils of Thilo Becker, assisted by
Miss Edith Knox and Miss Maria
Thresher presented a most unusual
musical program last evening at Dob
inson auditorium. That most promis-
ing of child pianists Olga Steeb played
the Bach "Chromatic Fantasia and
Fugue" with a mastery Of technical
difficulties that was truly marvellous.
She was later heard in List number
which was revelation of potential
power.
one of the big numbers was the
Beethoven sonata for piano and violin,
in which Miss Helen Judson and Miss
Maria Thresher were heard. Miss
Thresher is a young violnist or rare
talent. She has a broad tone and Il
good technique Best OF all she inter-
prets with poetic feeling. The sonata
was given a most intelligent reading
and Miss Judson proved herself a pi-
anist who understands the real re-
qurements of an accompanist. She
has n fine touch and she gave to the
vioinist adequate support. Miss Edith
Knox sang two songs, Schumann's
"Mondnacht" and Franz "Wenn der
Fruehling auf die Berge Steigt," with
splendid effect.
Among Herr Becker's pupils there
appeared to be decided preference for
Chopin and Liszt. Mrs. Louis Keller
played the Chopin prelude in C minor
nd ho n - minor with
ouisite shadings. Miss Berta Schmied
played two Chopin studies and the ia
miiar vase in E minor in a charming
manner that proved how well she had
been trained. The Chopin scherzo in
b fiat minor was the choice of Miss
Harriet Johnson, who showed delicate
appreciation.
Two noteworthy numbers were Miss
Lucille Roberts Interpretation of
LISTS "Soiree de Vienne, No. 6" and
Clarence Gustlin's offering of the Mosz
kowski Etude, Opus a. No. 1. Both
these pianists have more than ordinary
ability and last evening they revealed
possibilities of high achievement. Miss
Bess Daniels is one Of the pupils who
made a most favorable impression. She
appeared at the beginning of the pro-
gram and the Rameau gavotte and
variations which she played brought
out enthusiastic applause. Miss Orrie
Coons contributed a fair share to the
success of the recital. She was heard
IN three MacDowell compositions that
were given with artistic finish.
