ions Regarding Various
Systems

Members and guests of the Los An
geles Engineers and Architects asso-
citation enjoyed a feast at the Cafe
Bristol last night as a prelude to the
business meeting Of the association, at
which President Donald Campbell pre-
sided. H. q. Osborne was reelected
secretary.
The chief interest of the after-dinner
discussion conferred in the reading of a
carefully prepared paper on the sub
ject, "Is the Automatic Telephone Sys-
tenn Best for the Telephone Patron?"
presented by P. Kerr Higgins, A. NJ, L.
E. E., of the Home Telephone COM
pany. Mr.. Higgins compared the
manual and automatic systems to the
advantage of the latter. Under the
heads of secrecy, simplicity of opera
tion, correction of connections made
automatically, and other salient points,
the speaker gave valuable information
to his hearers.
Mr. Higgins answered a number OF
questions. He said automatic telephone
systems are now in successful operation
at Highland Park, 1000 in the Grand
avenue exchange, at Boyle Heights, in
East Los Angeles, at Prospect Park, at
Hollywood, at San Diego and 1900 at
Riverside.
Ira Francis, formerly city electrician,

COUNCIL SIDES
WITH PETITIONERS
MAYORS ANTI-FREIGHT MES
SAGE RETURNED
Mr.. MAILER STANDS ALONE
Members Unanimous in Standing for
What They Believe Are the
Best interests of
the City

Practically without discussion and
without dissenting vote members of
| the council told the mayor yesterday
that so far as they could find out he is
the only citizen of Los Angeles who
objects to the present street railway
conditions, and they sent his message
and ordinance back to him without
recommenda ton.
Councilmen expressed themselves
strongly as being convinced that the
people of the city do not want condi-
tions changed or an attitude hostile to
the railroads taken by them.
The petition from 900 business men
changed was declared sufficient to in
dictate the desire of the public. Coun-
cilmen say this argument Is further
strengthened when it is remembered
that the ordinance proposed by the
mayor has been in the hands Of the
legislation committee for several weeks
and no citizen has seen fit to say any
thing in behalf of the measure, while
practically the entire business COM
munity has put itself on record as
against any law of such nature.
Councilman Houghton declared him
self in favor of freight carrying under
certain restrictions, namely a profit
sharing basis, the city sharing the
share of these profits to pay for the use
Of the streets.
Councilman Smith agreed with
Houghton but thought the question
the next general election. The ques-
tion was called for and the council
unanimously sent Mayor McAleer's
message and proposed ordinance of
several weeks ago back to him and
adopted the report of the legislation
committee. which reads as follows:
Legislative Report
ITO the Honorable the City Council:
"Gentlemen-Your legislation COM
mittee begs to report as follows:
"In regard to the mayors message
requesting that an accompanying Or
dinance be passed by this council af-
fecting the carrying of freight, ETC.. by
the electric roads within the city limits.
and which was referred to the legisla-
tion committee, we beg to report as
follows:
1--WE have thoroughly Investigated
the question and considered the numer-
GUS petitions from the merchants, man
ufacturers, commission men and busi-
ness men generally which have been
presented to us.
"These petitions seem to express the
almost unanimous sentiment OF the
business community against the passage
of this ordinance. Your committee is
of the opinion that the hauling OF ex-
press matter and light freight by
means of electric cars as the same is
carried on i'm this city is a great benefit
to the community. In case the privilege
should be abused at any time 1t would
be necessary and proper that the city
should place about 1t adequate restric-
tions.
1--WE have not had presented to us any
petitions from the people asking for
any such legislation, nor have we ever
heard that It was the desire of any
person in the city except the mayor

WORK IMPORTANT
AS AID TO HEALTH
EDUCATOR EXPLAINS NEEDS
OF CHILDREN
SCHOOL ROOM DECORATION
Professor T. e. crossweIl II the State
Normal School Addresses the
Teachers Of Santa
Monica
SCHOOL ROOM DECORATION

In an address before the teachers of
Santa Monica yesterday DR.. T. e.
Crosswell of the state normal school
declared that work, If normal, is the
best possible condition for health.
Beauty in school room decoration was
recommended as having a beneficial
effect on the child.
DR.. Crosswell said in part:
"The fundamental thing in the
hygiene of mental work is the law of
the diffusion of stimuli. There are in
the human body three billion nerve
cells, each one supplied with it's branch
ing fiber. The nervous system not
only directs our thinking, but it directs
the nourishment of the body. The
knowledge of this is of the utmost i'm
portance to the teacher.
"I cannot impress too strongly the
possible condition for health. Like other
organs, the brain needs work to
strengthen it and to keep it in healthy
condition. Work itself produces a state
of mind which is healthy. You know
the elation which comes from having
done something worth doing. Work is
unhealthful when it leaves the nerve
cells permanently or for any consid
cradle length of time impaired in en-
ergy. Exhausting work may be di-
vided into several classes.
First, excessive work, that which
goes beyond the personal fatigue limit.
One line of excessive work is that ac-
companied with unusual strain of at
tention-for example, new work. That
is why the first day of school is hard.
Another line is emotional work; that
is work accompanied by anxiety worry,
fear or even by excitement. If child
is uncertain what lesson he is toe get
he works with great loss of energy. If
work is done under fear of any sort it
becomes exhausting.
Now, how shall we be able to help
our pupils to work under the best con-
ditions? First, 1 would suggest that we
observe the laws of diffusion of stimuli.
We should endeavor to have pleasant
lOt OutSelNeS anu Oul
pupils. BY pleasant surroundings I
mean those that affect the eye and the
ear. Beautifully decorated school rooms
are hygienic as we'll as esthetic.
"One cannot say too much about the
spirit of the school room where every
thing is orderly, nothing forced. This
means a well disciplined room, where
pupils as we'll as teacher take part.
Second, guard against waste of en-
ergy. We are all sinners in this re-
spect-some more, some less. A defec-
tive eye or ear is the cause of waste
energy. If --e would succeed we must
remove the causes of exhausting work
for pupils. This may be excessive work
that is too long and difficult, work of
too much variety and work in which
we are so enthusiastic that we drive
the pupils"

HORSE 1RIvEr TO DEATH
Carcass of Savage's Valuable Mare
Found Near San Pedro

Thomas Savage's fine black mare
which was recently stolen from it's
stable was found by Deputy sheriff
Cleveland late yesterday afternoon in
a field near Portuguese Bend. about
twelve miles from San Pedro on the
Lighthouse road.
The animal had evidently died of
exhaustion as it was lying where 1t had
been tied. Ray Dean, under arrest for
the theft of the valuable animal, denies
having stolen it. Whoever did commit
the theft evidently enjoyed the ride,
for when the animal was found, the
dilapidated remains of the runabout
were still attached to the harness and
whisky TASKS and beer bottles were
strewn over the ground for several feet
in every direction.

For three months Mr.. Gail Wood

doctored continually, but got no per-
manent relief until he used Chamber

a cure. A great many others have had
a like experience. Most cough medi-

they give only temporary relief-while
Chamberlain Cough Remedy cures
the disease that causes the coughing

of closing down the factories for an indef-

F. Bndernagel all information the cause of
the shutdown or the length of time the men would

The first ntimation the employees had that there
was to be a shutdown came last Monday. when an
order was received from the Office of the American
Sugar Refinery. at No. III WalI-st.. stop making
sugar On Thursday the men went to work again.
They were laid off again Friday night. and were
told that the shutdown would be for indefinite
period
While nothing definite could be learned 5 to the
cause of the shutdown, there were rumors about
the rehneries yesterday that there is large
plus of manufactured sugar on hand. and that the
market has been unusually dull. The increased re-
tail price Of granulated sugar is said to have much
to do with the decreased consumption.
The Williamsburg refineries the largest Of the

complete shutdown before in nearly five years.
