being remodeled to suit the needs of
an up-to-date club.
A cafe where luncheon and dinner

STRINGENT RULES
FOR CHAUFFEURS
COUNCIL MAKES AGE LIMIT
FOR AUT0ISTS
CHILDREN WILL BE BARRED
Modified Form Of the Hitehnu ordi-
nance Now Applies to Automo-
bIes, and Police Are Well
Satisfied

The council yesterday passed two or
dinances relating to automobiles, one
making 1t unlawful for a person under
16 years of age to operate such
a vehicle, and the other making 1t
misdemeanor to leave n motor car with
the power still on the engine. Both
ordinances we're drawn at the request
of the police department.
Officers of the automobile squad sew
eral times have reported that they have
seen children driving autmobiles alone
in the residence sections of the city. In
one case two children, both apparently
under IL years of age, occupied a tour
Ing car, the boy acting as chauffeur.
SO small was the youngster that he
could not sit on the seat and reach the
foot clutches, so he leaned against the
edge of the driving seat and had to
reach UP to the level of his head to
take hold of the steering wheel.
The council agreed with the police
department that this was not only
dangerous for the children, but a men
ace to pedestrians The ordinance pro-
hibits chauffeurs under 16 years old
from operating automobiles, or any
other kind of a horseless vehicle, on
the streets Of Los Angeles. and thus
boy under that age will not be allowed
to ride a motorcycle in the city.
President Fleming of the automobile
club said when he heard of the action
he thought the principle was right,
but if all persons under Is years old
were forced to take an examination
and receive a license before they are
allowed to run an automobile the re-
suits would be better. He argued that
some boys under the specified age
could prove themselves capable Of
handling almost any motor car.
The other measure takes the form Of
an amendment to the hitching ordin-
ance and makes 1t misdemeanor for
any person to leave an automobile or
other horseless vehicle standing at the
curb with the engine running, and with
out an attendant in the vehicle.
1t has been the practice of some mo-
torists to run up to the curb, throw
out the clutch and go away and leave
the machlne. curiosity OF MISCHIEF
might lead some one to take hold of
the levers and thus start an automo-
bile runaway. AS there is no method
of stopping a machine from the out
side, except by running a street car In
to it or planting telegraph pole in Its
path, the runaway auto would prob
ably do considerable damage, and then
oemolish itself by disputing the street
cars right of way. One case Of this
kind is on record and the police do
not care to have more.

The architects of Los Angeles are
expressing themselves as favoring the
plan to hold a worlds fair here in 1909.
A. f. Rosenheim and John C. Austin

The point was made that Los Angeles

ter the most searching investiga-
ton, the theory has been advanced
that the disease is being spread by
German carp. For month or more
typhoid cases have been mysteri-
ously appearing at Mankato, and in
less than week a half dozen de-
veloped in one small neighborhood.
All of the wells in the vicinity were
tested without result, and the doc
tors could find none of the germs in
the usual channels. Then they
learned that all of their patients
without single exception had eaten
carp shortly before being taken i'll.
In several families only one or two
persons were attacked. Invariably
these had eaten the fish, while those
to escape had left it untouched. In
the face of this seemingly conclu-
sive proof medical men say that it
would be possible for the contagion

Bad Memories,

Many people complain of having oad memory, as if it were something they could not help, like a headache, or some similar ailment; yet even that can be helped nowadays by the appli- cation of little common sense. After all there is no reason why anybody should have bad memory. It Is mere ly matter of training and is, more- over, a matter in which it is never too late to attend to its training. For grown-ups many methods are advo- cated, all of them, no doubt based on the principle of mental concentration. In young child the faculty can be cultivated by making the child de- scribe everything it has seen in its morning walk, taking care that no fact is exaggerated, but that strict atten- ton is paid to truth in every detail. In the matter of memorizing it is an excellent plan to let the child learn one line of poetry day, which it should repeat the following morning, and at the end of q week it will be able to say the seven lines. The young brain should not be overloaded with knowledge, but allowed to assimilate a fragment eacb day.

A Happy Horse.

 "There is wise old horse belong Ing to a grocer in Wentworth avenue, and he might appropriately be called the children's friend. The store is close to schoolhouse, and this horse friend of mine spends much of his time standing in front of the store when his wagon is not in commits sion.
 "He has habit of standing with his forefeet on the sidewalk gazing into the store. At such times the chil- dren fairly swarm on him. They jump into the wagon and hold the reins; they climb on top of and walk under, heath the kindly animal; and he looks benignantly down upon them, and is often rewarded for his good nature with bits of sugar and candy and oth, CT things that horses like.

HER FRIENDS.
Black Nanny Wouldn't Have Her Dogs
 Sent to the Pound,

Sent to the Pound.
 Among the prisoners taken into Southern police court the other day was an old colored woman who had been arrested for failure to provide tags for her two dogs. When ques- toned by the court she answered that she was old and poor, and had not been able to get money for the license tax.
 But you know that it is against the law for dogs to go without tags," the judge reminded her, and l shall have to sentence you"
 q know it," she interrupted, hum ply. T couldn't help it."
 "Unless," the judge continued, "the dogs are sent to the pound. In that case you will be dismissed" But the old woman looked at him, her wrinkled face fui, of distress. q cahn't do that, I cahntw she cried. And then she told her story. Her dogs were her only friends, her only protection. They were such beautiful dogs, and one was named for her htls- band, and the other one was so know ing and could stand on his hind legs, just like a man! She could not let anything happen to her dogs. She would go to prison herself instead. There was nothing to do but accept her decision. The judge reluctantly pronounced sentence-siX dollars fine or nine days in the workhouse, and when the session was over she marched quietly with the other pris- oners out to the van. Nobody had the heart to tell her that before she came out of the workhouse her dogs would probably be dead;. or if not, that she would undoubtedly be arrested again. After all, something might happen. In a police court even more than in other places, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
 Something did happen. A newspaper reporter got hold of the story, and it came out in that nights paper It was told very badly not worked up" a.. all; but the American public is quick to read between the lines, and before the next morning the money for the old "aInty's" release and the tax for her dogs had been offered many times over. She who had thought her dogs her only friends suddenly found a score of warm hearts at the service of her need.
 It is a pretty story and not un- common one. It is safe to say that no case of need is ever made known to the public that help is not imme- diately and eagerly offered. But re porters are not always at hand, and sometimes the friendless ones come to our very door. Are we as quick to see them then, or do we wait for oth' CTS to point the way to US us;-Youth'a CompaniOn.
