is unworthy, to honor that which is
not honorable, and a marriage
founded in this way on false pre-
lenses should be declared null and
void as soon as possible.
No two people should be com
PEELED to live together in this
closest of all relationships, unless
they can do so in peace ano hap
piness, unless each can conduce to
the others welfare. We are forced
to agree with the late Robert G.
lngersoll in one Of his many say
ings, if in no more, that no CHI
dren should be brought into the
world that are not the children of
love and welcomed by both par.
ents." The failure to live up to
this rule has given to the world,
we truly believe, its vicious and
criminal classes.
1t is on account of the children
that the strongest plea is made by
those who cry mo DIVORCE" but
what can we expect of children
reared in homes where the parents
are constantly quarreling and bick-
ering or more disagreeable scenes
are enacted? Better a thousand
times that such couples should sep
arate, that the children born to
them be given to the one more
worthy, or better capable of taking
care Of them, or that they should
be placed by the court under capa-
BILE guardianship.
There are other things which
should entitle unhappy couples to
fair and honorable separation, such
as crime agains the laws of the
land, especially of the faCher which
entails on innocent children a tar
nished name and reputation; also
drunkenness, than which no fouler
blot can rest upon a home. If there
IS a person, or persons, on this
earth to be pitied it is a drunkard' S
wife and children, or, rarer case,
the sober husband of wife addict
cd to drink or drugs. Such couples
should not be held together in the
marriage relation an hour longer
than the unseldsh love of the one
Or the other may dictate, or after
the innocent one is convinced that
further efforts at reformation are
useless. W. Jones in North
Review.

Desire Fire Protection.

In response to a call from Mayor
Beville, the business men of Clar-
endon held meeting for the con-
sideration of means to better pro-
tect the town against fire. The
council has expressed willingness
to install and maintain the neces.
sary water main for the protection
of the business portion of the town
if the business men will in turn
bear the expense of obtaining the
necessary outfit for a volunteer
company Another meeting will
be held Friday, and it is probable
that the crowd in favor of protec-
ton from fire at any cost will win
out.

THE BROWNLOw BILL APPEALS TO ALL

When Congressman Brownlow
of Tennessee, introduced what has
become known as his good roads
bill, some well-meaning people
looked upon it as a visionary prop
osition; others as a constitutional
innovation, and still others as a
something calculated to bankrupt
the National treasury. A little
thought on the subject discovered
that it was none of these, but the
most practical and important eco
nomical measure ever submitted in
the House of Representatives.
Following the Brownlow bill there
came two bills from the Senate
from Senators Latimer, of South
Carolina, and Gallinger of New
Hampshire, and two or more in the
House. The bills are similar in
their provisions, what is known as
the Brownlow- Latimer bill being

DARING AERIAL FLIGHT
FEATURE OF MOTHER GOOSE

One of the most discussed incidents
in the production of Mother Goose" "
at the Mason theater tonight, will be
the astonishing flight of the premiere
of sthe "Grigolatis' aerial ballet
troupe from the stage over the heads
of the audience to the gallery rail and
return. Many solutions of this prob
lem of aerial navigation, which to the
eye seems to outdo Santos Dumont,
have been ventured, but none of them
entirely explains the mystery.
"I was sitting in the smoking room
of the theater after last nights re-
hearsal-it being necessary to rehearse
at each city--just after the finale of
the second act, when the flight oc-
eurs,' said Sam Harrison. business
manager of the Mother Goose" COM
pany, "and out of possibly fifty per-
sons crowded into the room, at least
forty were discussing the means by
which the aerial trick is consummated.
Twenty different opinions were put
forth in very positive way. each be-
ing sure that his solution was correct.
But not one of them came near it, and
although the sleuths Of the press, as
we'll as those of the public, have been
trying to guess the solution, no one
has done so.
1T came to me more on account of
being able to speak and understand
German than through any shrewdness
of my own. There is not a member
of the company, or any one concerned
in the production of Mother Goose
that knows any more about it than the
public.
EVERY man connected with the work
of the "Grigolatis is a German, i'm
ported into this country solely for that
purpose. A life depends upon every
man for the few minutes that these
graceful aerialists are seen upon the
stage, and these men do no other work
during the performance.
'rhey are secretive and they are
called by the rest Of the working staff
of the company, the silent staff They
never speak to any member of the
company. and If spoken to always re-
ply in monosyllables"

FAREWELL "OLD HEIDELBERG"
Final Presentation Given Last Night
at BeIasco

The final production of "Old Heidel-
berg" which has been the offering at
the Belasco theater for the past two
weeks, was given last night to an audi
ence which taxed the capacity of the
playhouse.
Many small details have been inn
proved since the opening two weeks
ago. and the performance last night
was an artistic success such as is
seen seldom in Los Angeles.
While the financial success of "Old
Heidelberg" has been source of great
satisfaction to the Belasco manage
ment, this was apparently secondary
at all times to the artistic success. No
expense has been spared to make the
production as near perfect as human
ingenuity can devise.
The work of Amelia Gardner Joseph
Galbraith George w. Barnum and
Thomas Oberle was more captivating
last night than ever before. Oberle and
Barnum especially have added little
touches to their parts which make the
whole almost without flaw.
Are You Mason?" will open to-
night at the Belasco for weeks run.

Proposal to Raise $4,000 for Equippin9
Boarding Hall, Which Youths
Will Be Expected to Help
Support

To furnish the homeless boys of Los
Angeles with an attractive home that
they may in a measure support them
selves is the idea which several peo-
pie, we'll known in charitable work in
ment was started several months ago
by the women of the Fellowship found
ed by B. Fay Mills, but since has been
taken entirely out of their hands.
Under the management of commit
tee of which Mrs. Minnie P. Vance is
the moving spirit, entertainments have
been held each week for the boys in
the detention home. These little en-
tertainments have not been of the
"goody goody" character, but they
have nevertheless been elevating in
their tendencies and effect.
The boys have taken hold and help
out with the program and seem to have
enjoyed themselves immensely. These
youngsters have come to regard their
own reformation as problem in
which they are expected to take a
hand. They call themselves the "Jol-
ly Boys club and every member
wears badge with this name upon
1t. No one outside the home can join,
but many boys on the outside are con-
stantly asking to be admitted.
Because so many of the boys who
are constantly passing through the de-
tention home are homeless a plan has
been gradually evolved by the commit
tee to establish what they have
named a Helpful boarding hall for
boys" Mrs. c. M. Severance, DIR. John
r. Haynes, Chas. Cassat Davis. Mrs.
Louise A. Scheu and Mrs. Minnie p.
Vance have been selected to formulate
a plan to be presented to the public,
1t is proposed to raise $4,000 to rent,
furnish and equip house that will
give the home life, which they feel the
boys so need to make them self-re-
specting, law-abiding and at the same
time self-supporting, for the boys are
expected to pay their board from their
earnings. Boys under IA years of age
will not be taken A matron and a cook
will be the only paid employees. The
home is to be managed by board of
five trustees selected by the contribu-
tors. The Los Angeles Trust company
has consented to act as treasurer.
Among the prominent people inter-
ested is Mrs. j. ID. Hooker The scheme
has the approval Of Judge Wilbur,
chief probation officer A. c. Dodds
and Mrs. M. e. Pratt. matron of the
detention home.

TYNDAL. ON "REvIvALISM"
Doctor of Physic Science Approves
Religious Work

DIR. Alexander j. McIvor-TyndallS s
lecture on "Revivalism" brought out
an immense audience yesterday after
noon at Blanchard hall. Preceding the
discourse, a splendid musical program
was presented, including piano selec-
tics by M. Jean de Chauvenet and
violin and cornet numbers by Miss
Velleum and Tracy Hoag. M. de Chau-
venet played for the first time in this
city the Festival March by Richard
Strauss "the psychologist of music"
and responded to enthusiastic applause
with Wagner-Lizst number
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall made the point
that there are various kinds of revival
ism and that all were good, in as much
as it might awaken The soul from it's
lethargy of objective life and arouse
a desire to live on plane more ap-
proachable by invisible helpers. He
also spoke of the unity of purpose
which has been noticeable in all re-
vival meetings during the present year.
current of psychism that permeates all
thought of the present.
Revive means to fill again with
life" said the speaker, land anything
that will awaken the individual to a
recognition of the spirit within is to
be welcomed. Those to whom evan
gelism directly appeals could not, per-
haps, be reached in any other way.
OF course, to those who have accepted
a broader comprehension of revital-
ization, the theater, the everyday af-
fairs of life-books and the practice of
going into the silence, are ways and
means of awakening the soul, no less
than are those practices that we have
designated religion

Sunday afternoon on "Foretelling"
This afternoon and evening, and on
Wednesday and Friday afternoons and
evenings he will address meetings at

TOURIST KILLED BY
CAR AT AVERY STATION
Harry Hays Struck While Attempting
to SIGNAL Motorman

Harry Hays, young man lately ar
rived in Los Angeles, from the east,
was struck by a car on the San Pedro
line at 10 o'clock last night near Av-
cry station and died before he could
be brought to Los Angeles.
The accident occurred several hum
dred feet south of Avery station and
it is believed Hays with a friend was
attempting to flag the car. Hays was
standing near enough to the track to
be struck by the steps of the car as
it passed.
F. w. Anderson, the motorman, on
account of the dense fog failed to see
the figures of the two men standing
near the track until he was almost
upon them.
Hays sustained injuries about the
head and internally. The car was
stopped and Hays was placed
aboard, but after reviving long enough
enough to give his name and to say
that he was from the east, he relapsed
into unconsciousness and died before
the car reached Los Angeles. He had
no money or means of Identification on
his person.
HAYS and his friend were on their
way to San Pedro in search Of work
and had walked as far as Avery sta
ton when they determined to return
to Los Angeles.
The body was, taken to the car barns
at Georgia and Twelfth streets and
from there to Pierce Bros undertake
ing parlors where an inquest will be
held this morning.

the appearance of Mexican at the

yesterday afternoon, however, pre-

something exciting.

Castro, as he bent over and looked
expectantly at one of the detectives.

answered the detective.

was born to my wife Stefano yester-
day and he is the first bern" Whereat

arrest?" said the desk man, with the
usual air of business.
Castro did not believe that he would
care to have this form of the law gone
through with unless it was also one
of the customs of the United States
In Mexico they had simply to report
a birth and that ended the subject. II
was news to him that the police con-
cerned themselves simply with those
Mexicans and others who did not con.
Germ themselves with the law wher
they were grown up.
Notice of the great incident in Cas-
tro's life was posted on the bulletin
board, however, and the man from
