STATE FARM FOR CoNsUMpTIvEs

ut is my impression that, If this matter taken
up seriously the disease would be stamped in this
state"
opinion quoted is from report of Dr. Foster secretary
of the state board of health to the assembly committee
health and quarantine The promising result is de-
pendent on the adoption of a plan outlined in the re-
port.
large tract of land, says DR.. Foster "such as now
could be set aside for this purpose" Then "the
sumptives should be allowed a certain portion of this
land for their use, that they could raise chickens
keep and especially make a garden The outdoor
gardening-would be the very means that would
save them" And he fully believes that under the
supervision of trained physician who would have
entire charge of all who there to make their
homes fully 80 per cent of the patients would be
cured"
This general plan agrees with the views of the fore
most specialists in tuberculosis Hospitals for con-
sumptives declared to be out of date Such ideal
climate Southern California affords with life in
the open employment in gardening and the like suited
to strength of the patient together with
of nourishng food make conditions warranting the
belief that ninetenths of consumptives might re-
stored to health.
II understood that the house committee on health
and quarantine will report bill making provision

general plan outlined above will be approved in the
report.

UNIONS DISAGREED
Lonoshoremen Protest Against the
Action Of the sailors

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 2A--(Editor Her
ald)-I would like to call your atten-
tIon TO the condition Of affairs which
exists in San Pedro at present between
the Sailors union and the Longshore-
men that are affiliated with the I. L.
M. and T. A. For several years the
longshore work has been done by the
I. L. M. and T. A. members all over
the coast, and they have worked in
perfect harmony with the sailors and
befriended the sailors at different
times. But, owing to some differences
existing between both internationals,
the Sailors union has unjustly at
tackled the I. L. M. and T. A. and sup
planted them, claiming they are in
position to control all the longshore
work on the coast, and they have em-
phatically refused to work with I. L.
M. and r. A. men, or let them work,
since January "a.
We have at times been locked out by
the employers, but It is something un-
warranted to be locked out by sister
organization and on the impulse of the
moment. We, as wage earners, are not
responsible for any differences existing
between the officers of the internation-
ais and should not be made to suffer
for their indiscretions.
1t is not just for the Sailors Union
to antagonize us as union men and
deprive us of the right Of living. We
are willing to leave It to an arbitration
committee and have it decide to whom
the work belongs, but the sailors will
not listen to the proposition and will
not reason, but they go. on with a de-
termined effort to down what they
term the Maltese cross. We do not
want to take the aggressive against
the sailors. even in their oppression
against us, but we would like to have
justice meted out to us and our rights
to work as before.
Hoping you will give us space and
have this inserted in your valuable
paper, you will greatly oblige the
members of Local Sal, 1. L. M. and T.
A., San Pedro, who have been unjustly
locked out by the Sailors union.
DAN w. HUGHES, Secretary.

Wonan's Clubs
Friday MornIno Club


"Balzac's Cycle and American Par
allels" was the subject Of a clever
essay given by Miss Minnie Caroline
Clark at the meeting Of the Friday
Morning club yesterday Miss Clark
was formerly of Chicago and she Is
counted as valuable acquisition to
educational circles in the city. While
her paper yesterday was undoubtedly
the product of deep thought and much
study, II was not lacking in the lighter
touches Of humor and showed the
writer's understanding of her sex.
Miss Clark said that Americans
should have a special interest in the
works Of Balzac and that in most i'm
stances where they were not appreci-
ated II was because the reader had only
become acquainted with the works
which he himself considered the
poorest.
The principal point brought out in
possessed wonderful power Of dis
elimination in human character.
"His analysis might we'll apply to the
present day." she said. "The characters
portrayed in his books may be found
here in America. He has painted the
club women of America, although he
has not named her, by giving such char
acteristics as she possesses"
Miss Clark asserted that Americans
are becoming more and more imbued
with the Partisan taste and are rap
idly being led into the Partisan way Of
living.
To illustrate the fact that America
is not free from "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" and that people are living
double lives, she said. Even the most
unpretentious of our business men are
living double lives and / can prove 1t.
A large majority of the men keep two
telephones, and the Home phone know
eth not what the Sunset doeth.'
Following the reading of the paper
luncheon was served.
