Many complimentary remark has
been heard in reference to the progress
siveness and liberality of The Herald
in taking upon it's shoulders the re-
sponsibility of determining who the
five most popular salesladies are in
Los Angeles and the distribution of
prizes to the successful ones.
The undertaking, while colossal in
it's way, has won instantaneous favor
in the eyes of the Los Angeles public,
which is ever ready to grasp a novel
idea, such as this, and to see to it
that proper assistance is lent to make
the proposition self-supporting The
Herald does not expect to get rich on
this plan. 1t intends to show that it
has the welfare of Los Angeles at
heart.
Every public spirited man has, no
doubt had some idea in view, but it
remained for The Herald to come for
ward and make the proposition where
by the five most popular salesladies
would be determined by popular vote.
In this contest vote for your favorite
to win one of the prizes the same as
you would vote for man to repre-
sent you in congress. Public spirit is
public spirit no matter in what guise
it is presented.
If you have a favorite in the race
vote for her. The experience will be an
education in itself and will live in mem
ory for a lifetime. There are many
pretty and captivating ladies already in
the contest, and no doubt more will
enter as the race progresses and the
real worth of the prizes is realized.
Votes are coming in steadily and the
contestants are getting down to solid
work. now that the contest Is nearing
it's close.
Presented today is a likeness of
Miss Edith House, winner of second
prize in special prize offer of last week.
Miss House is an ardent worker and is
doing her utmost to see that her name
Is announced as a winner of one of the
five original prizes at the close Many
of the other candidates did good work
last week and the votes that went out
in reserve will be much in evidence at
the finish.

BADLY BURNED ABOUT HEAD
A. F. Nell Injured While Trying to
Save Residence From Destruc-
ton by Fire

While trying to save the house IN
which he lived from destruction A. F..
Nell of Hollywood was badly burned
about the face and hands Saturday
afternoon in IA fire which destroyed the
house owned by Mrs. Blondeau at the
corner of Grant and Sunset bouleVardS
in Hollywood shortly after $3.50 o'clock.
Mr.. Nell was seated in far room
of the house and heard noise in an
other part of the residence. At first
he paid no attention to it, but when the
cracking sounds reached him he COM
menced to investigate. AS he entered
the room adjoining his he was driven
back by n wall of flames.
Nell Immediately rushed to another
room and attempted to save what he
could of the furniture in there. Piece
after piece he threw out into the yard.
AS he suddenly moved a trunk from IN
front of a door huge tongues of flame
burst through the walls and caught
him in the face, burning all the hair
from his head and seriously injurinS
his eyes,
Medical assistance was at once pro-
cured for the injured man and later ne
was removed TO the county hospital,
where he is wrapped in oil-soaked
bandages and will probably not see
daylight for several weeks. 1t is said
that he will recover.

ACCUSES OFFICIALS
OF CRIMINAL NEGLECT
Rev. Robert s. Fisher Flags City Government
Says People Uwn Streets but Run for
Lives When They Cross Them

Rev. Robert S. Fisher. pastor Of the
st. James Methodist Episcopal church,
In a prelude to his sermon last night,
flayed city officials, calling them "cat
paws of corporate interests" and was
merciless In his arraignment of wrongs
which are heaped upon a sleepy public.
The speaker took for his topic: Fix
Ing the Responsibility for the Death
OF Mr.. Davenport" and stated that the
blame is not entirely with the motor
man who did not stop his car, but with
the railway officials who have not
erected signal stations at the crossing
where the accident occurred and with
the city officials who have failed TO
make them do this.
Then Mr.. Fisher brought the blame
down to the citizen who voted for the
city officers who failed to make the
railway corporation erect proper sig
nal stations for the protection Of the
citizen who owns part of the streets
and yet runs for his life every time
he uses them.
He spoke as follows:
FIXING responsibility in this matter
Is like hunting for the end of an end.
less chain or like coming to the point
in the story Of the house that Jack
built. We read that the street car Off
Gals are keeping mum The coroners
jury is on the fence and can't get down
some say the brakes wouldn't worl,
and so on ad nauseum.
But what the public Is Interested to
know is: How human life can be taken
with fmpunity and nobody be respon
sible. In attempting to fix RESPONSE
biltty l am not going to side step the
issue by attaching the blame to the al.
ready heart-broken motorman.

"To illustrate the point Of the matter
by eXaggeration Suppose this had
been premeditated capital crime
(Which of course It was not) who would
hang for it2 First the crew who pri-
marily caused It, then the officials who
gave the orders for overcrowded runs
ON short time schedule, then the pru-
Dental managers who have no system
at this corner for signaling the APP
proach Of crossline cars, then the man
aging mechanics who permit the use
of brake. which fails so often, with
out an accompanying safety brake to
be used in emergencies, then the city
officials who permit a common carrier
existing by the suffranCe of the people
to become an intolerable menace to
public safety, then the citizens who
vote for officials who are the catspaws
of corporate interests. then the sleepy
multitude who read of death and de-
struction and growl but do not act.
by this time you sec we would near
ly all have our necks i'm the moose and
hanging would be wholesale.
The death of Mr.. Davenport was not
premedtated, but il was possible
through the lncapacity or gross IN
efficiency of the street railway system
Il am no Socialist, but | think the
common carriers should be common
property. The public should own the
street buggies. Municipal ownership
under civil service will spell safety for
the public. A block system of the
simplest kind would obviate such acci-
dents at many crossings. AS 1t is the
people own the streets and run for
their lives every time they use them.
The old prohibition, thou shalt not
kill meanse big sinners as well as
little ones"

DELIVERS SERMON ON SELF
Pastor Smsle Says Four-Flfths Of the
People Protesting Christianity
Are Sinners

Preparations for Pentecost" was the
subject taken by Pastor Joseph Smale
of the First New Testament church
1t was the fourth sermon of a series
on the topic Of "The Pentecostal Bless
ing" He said in part:
"He who would know Pentecost must
have done with sim The Holy Spirit
finds every man Il sinner and goes to
work to make him saint The char
acter Of the spirit of God Is that of
moral and spiritual perfection-there-
fore to keep company with the spirit
of God we must be holy. The leading
Of the holy spirit is a precious truth,
but is unknown to multitudeS of pro-
Tossing Christians.
They are quickened of the spirit, but
that is about all--they have not given
up SHINING and are not living life
that will bear the light of the word of
God. What will not bear the light of
this word is sin. You may keep conf
pany With four-fifths of protesting
Christians today. and If you sin you
do not lose fellowship with the churcn
members of today, because they are
SHINING themselves.
THE only true life is the life of
Christ and the only way to get the
power Is through the Holy Ghost. VIII
you, then, have the Holy Ghost? 1t is
no use 90 desire him unless you cease
from sin. l do not say you must be-
come holy before you can have the
spirit-that were impossible, but If you
feel a law working In your members by
which you cannot help SHINING, will you
today say L am willing to have the love
of sin taken out of me- and If so you
have taken the first important step
toward Pentecost
Have done with self! Self is that
which is at the back of the life of
sin. 1t is the charnal mind--that whicn
is called in Romans z the body of this
death. Are you afflicted with pride.
with vanity. with resentment with a
stubborn will, with anger, malice, with
hackbitlng with prejudice. with lust,
etc. These things are not the source
of your trouble. How many, after a fit
of temper. have apologized for the
wrong and in little while have been
as mad as ever, because it was only
the result of the condition within.
Church members and every Christian
can get to where nothing shall offend
them.
What is it that disturbs the soul
with all kinds of evil conditions and
practices? 1t is self. If you are not
! sanctified there is within you a wild
beast in self and you may keep tina :
/ beast quiet for little while, but re-
member il is not tanned, and the first
thing you know it will rise up again
and rend you and make you miserable.
Self never is our friend. Self makes
holiness impossible deprives us of our
Christian heritage of peace and joy.
Self shuts out the supernatural and re-
duces us to common place beings"
