took to the woods. The pet 'popula-
tion of San Francisco is almost nil,
except in the matter of parrots and
Gagged song birds. Where dogs and
cats, and homes, and treasures were
abandoned these feathered friends
were saved and there is hardly a refuge
tent that is unable to boast a small
aviary. The same bizarre taste was
displayed by many of the thousands
who sent on food supplies to the fire
devastated city. Delicacies of almost
every kind We're shipped in the early
train loads to arrive, and have con-
tinued to flow in. Even the relief COM
mittees of large cities were foolishly
extravagant in their selection of food
stuffs and many thousands of dollars
were spent for fancy and expensive
canned goods when more substantial
supplies would have served the pur-
pose Just as we'll. There are many
cases of imported canned vegetables
and fruit, as we'll as meats and fish,
Col Febiger, in command of the re-
lief camps, is urging the sale of these
canned goods, as they are not at all
necessary, and cash is badly needed.
Individual donations of food run to
an even further extreme. Several
boxes contained cans of truffles, caviar.
and pate de fois gras. All sorts of
potted meats were sent, but much of
this has been distributed. Wine of
many brands was sent for the sick.
and this has been distributed in the
hospitals. Cordials and liqueurs have
not been disposed of and will probably
be sold, if they do not find their way
through other channels.

that the officers in charge of distri-
button have been puzzling over. Wo-
men We're called in to straighten the
matter out, but the supply of baby
clothing is far greater than the de-
mand at present. Enough bottles for
babies were shipped to San Francisco
to keep several cities going for a year.
The majority of these utensils are
plain but some are silver-mounted and
initialled. Infant footwear has been
sent along almost by the carload,
counting the gifts of manufacturers
and individuals. Some of these tiny
shoes have been worn, but the greater
part of the contribution is fresh from
the factory or the store of the re-
taller.
Dogs Not Forgotten
Even the refugee dogs have not been
forgotten, and some very ornate dog
collars have been fished out of the
storerooms in the overhauling pro-
cess. In the Hamilton square school,
where the food supplies were sent, sew
eral boxes of dog biscuits have been
opened Dogs, however, are very
scarce in San Francisco since the fire.
Hundreds were shot and hundreds

are returned to their owners. So are
other articles of value when there is
a name and address on the package
in which 1t was sent.
Hundreds of senders of clothing con-
tributions were poorly acquainted with
the climate of California. Great coats
of the sort that are very rarely needed
even in the east were contributed by
generous Canadians or dwellers in
northern Maine. Dozens of pairs of
mittens and fur-lined gloves have come
from northern latitudes for the ref
ugees. In fact, there is far more win
ter than summer clothing which was
only natural, as the contributions were
made in spring. Much of this is too
heavy ever to make comfortable wear
in California, even though the; climate
demands an overcoat all the year
round. Furs can be used on chill,
damp evenings throughout the year,
but great coats and voluminous wool
| len mufflers are entirely superf1uous.
| So are galoshes and felt-lned leggings.
The first thought of thousands of
mothers was undoubtedly of the in
FAINT refugees, for there is a vast
amount of mysterious little garments

WHY OWL CARS ARE NEEDED

No more strikine need for adequate
an-nisht car service was ever felt in
Los Angeles than the early mOrnine
hours Of yesterday disclosed.
Literally thousands Of those who
went TO the beaches during the Fourth
Of July were unable TO return 60 the
city after the festivities Till long past
midnight.
The rush from the beaches was tre-
endous, and of course this meant that
women and children had to wait tuI the
stronger and more eager men had Sc
cured their own return.
As result, the down town streets at
I o'clock yesterday morning were
thronged with vorn-out pleasure seek
crs. eager TO go home TO much-needed
rest
what confronted themt The alter
native Of hiring n conveyance or walk
ing. whyf The city cars do not run
after 1890 o'clock.
The consequence was that these worn
out revelers by the hundreds could be
seen wearily vending their ways from
the trolley termlni toward their
homes, so tired that they could scarce
" drag one foot after another. Men of
family, women with children, many of
them babies in arms, young boys
who had hard labor and long hours
ahead of them after sunrise, and, worst
of all, young girls of the irresponsible,
reckless, fun loving age-all were
dumped unceremoniously into the citys
heart and left without means of trans
portatlon home, simply because the
city trolley system will not put owl
cars into service.
And thus the great holiday of the
year for outings was in very many
cases made to end in bad temper, need
less fatigue and positive harm.
1t would be an easy matter to run
cars every half hour or hour after mid
night on ct least some lines, to every
part of the city. They would pay. They
would be a great accommodation. And
they would be the last lever to lift this
city from the small town class.
Why not owl cars, then?

CUT OUT THE sLUNs

Los Angeles has one metropolitan dis
tinctlon to which It's citizens are not
likely to point with pride" The one
referred to is pointed out by the
mayors municipal housing commission.
II relates to conditions In a section Of
the city that are said to parallel, In
some respects, the slum sights wit
messed in Chicago and New York. For
instance, the commission is said to have
discovered on one ifty-foot lot "eight
two-room tenements and two Of one
room each, housing forty-six regular
inhabitants and frequently half as
many more"
II is not necessary to depict the
squalor incident to the crowdng of
such a number Of persons into such
quarters. Sanitary conditions are
necessarily at the worst and the same
must be true of the social situation. 1t
is new and startling revelation to the
people of Los Angeles, and one which
should not and must not be tolerated.
There is no cause for the miserable
nuuullUE OI DOpuldlluil III lhlS NltS dA'SA
the manner witnessed in the slums of
Chicago and New York. The funda-
mental conditions here are as different
In this respect from those which pre-
vail in large eastern cities as day is
different from night. The enormously
high price of land in the greater cities
makes it necessary for the very poor
to crowd together like pigs in a pen.
But in Los Angeles the land values in
certain parts of the city are literally
"cheap as dirt" There are hundreds
of acres within the city limits that can
be bought at nominal prices compared
with values in eastern cities. Such low
or moderately priced lots, convenient
to the business center, should be util-
lied for sanitary tenements, rentable at
low prices to the poor.
All large cities have the slum PROPOSE
tlon to deal with and good progress is
making in the more progressive class
toward greatly improved conditions.
The problem is a simple one in Los
Angeles, because of the circumstance
noted. and there can be no excuse for
not solving it.
Such situation as is reported by the
municipal housing commission Is a dis
grace to Los Angeles and it should be
taken in hand heroically and at once.

FOR FREER ALCOHOL
SENATOR dANsRRouGH's BILL
WOULD LET FARMERS RUN
DlsTiLLERiEs.


The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Tribune writes as fol-
lows: ,55.;> 81 # 3S5#.s. 10.
An amendment to the denatured
alcohol law was offered in the Senate
today by Senator Hansbrough Of
North Dakota, which If adopted prom
lses to revolutionize the production
of denatured alcohol and accomplish
the end sought by the enactment of
last session, an end that law has SO
far failed to attain. When congress
PASSED the free alcohol act of last SEES
sion, 1t supposed 1t was making it
possible for farmers throughout the
country to convert their waste prod
ucts, most of which are so convertible,
snto denatured alcohol, which they
could utilize to run thresher engines,
pump water, and produce other power
at home, or else store it and finally
sell to these in need of material for
power, heat or lighting purposes.
When, however, the experts of the
department of agriculture came to
analyze the bill, they found that it
would do nothing of the kind. 1t
might ultimately result in somewhat
cheaper fuel for owners of automobiles
and those who make a business OF
nrndncing power, but there was, &C.
cording to Or. Wiley, of the bureau
