Dancers Run Out
Restrictions are being put ON agile
footed maidens, who, with bohemian
hair cut and Little Egypt reminis-
celices, have been the star attractions
for sightseeing parties at several
dance houses. The professional dan
seuse who demonstrates the laws of
gravita ton and equilibrium by the tip
toe method, to the delight of country
cousins, has been given a skiddoo card
by the proprietors of the dance
houses. The other night the police
inspectors visited several ball rooms
and issued orders against ladies stand
ing on their toes; also against "cuttin'

houses several professional ballet
dancers gave exhibitions nightly, al

French Vaudeville for Broadway
The project of esta blishing French
vaudeville theater on Broadway is TAX
ing definite form. Jules Eson of the
Courier des Etats- Unis, who is inter-
ested in the enterprise. said today:
I'VE have every hope OF seeing our
plan materialize before many weeks.
In fact we are already negotiating for
suitable small playhouse. Our inten-
tion is to present two light operettas
every week and to fill in the rest of the
time with the customary vaudeville en-
tertainments. If the undertaking is
once launched we shall be able to get
competent performers directly from
Paris"
improving Their Cream
Columbia university students are a
little finicky about the quality of cream
they get" said the proprietor of res
taurant doing business on the classic
Heights" "See those two over there"
said he, pointing at a couple of young
women. They always go to the dairy
next door before they come in here;
for cents they get few tablespoon
fuls of rich cream. This they dilute
with the cream | give and that satis-
fies them. No, these two are not alone
in the practice, 1t is quite a fad
among the students"

Escorts for Newly Welded Pairs
Though it has been said the wedding
tour is hopelessly out of date and that
one has to read Howells to know that
there ever was one, this isn't such a
prosy old world after all, for an OBJ
server of the ways of the elect says the
latest idea is for the best man to pro-
vide tickets for the entire bridal party
to accompany the happy pair on the
first stages of the wedding trip. The
maid of honor has her share of the
work, for it is "up to" her to fill the
car with flowers until it looks like a
travelling conservatory. AS one bride
expressed it, The best of it is, the
flowers are sometimes fruit" When
Miss Aspinwall of Washington became
the bride of Lieutenant Comfy of the
artillery a dozen or more warriors es-
corted her to the bridal train, where
her maids We're awaiting her with Of
ferlngs. This sounds agreeable, but it
takes a best man with u we'll filled
purse. ''What do you expect? Again
we see the pleasant things of life are
all for the rch,' said a pesSimistic
young man, who had to decline the
honor of being best man at the wedding
of friend last week.
'Tis the Kids One Joy
&c, ,bnk fa nd
said a man who was watching a group
of east side children troop to school.
every one of those children is shabby
almost to raggedness; they look half
nourished and as If their parents had a
struggle to keep the wolf from the door.
Nevertheless they are all sucking penny
candies and tomorrow you'll see them
sucking more candies. Where in the
world do you suppose they get the PEN
nies? They certainly do not appear to
be blest with any superfuous coppers.
but they are seldom without a daily
supply of candy. In hot weather they
vary the menu by ice cream sandwiches
at a penny each. II their mothers have
so much that they can give the chill
dren pennies every day, why don't they
feed and clothe the children better?
And If they are too poor TO afford
proper food and clothing why don't
they put those pennies into more nourr
ishing food and cut the children off
from the candy diet? That daily diet
of candy must work havoc in a child's
constitution, but that doesn't worry me
so much as the improvidence of the
parent who supplies the pennies"

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-New York's
huge daily tide of population is spread
ing ana growing at the rate of 10 per
cent year. Eight hundred thousand
persons rush into Manhattan's business
centers from all points every morning.
The flood rests at high tide through the
day. In the late afternoon and early
evening it turns outward with great
violence. BY nightfall it has disap-
peared in the residential zone which
surrounds business Manhattan for a
radius Of twenty-five miles. New York's
daily population tide numbered 1000
persons in 1895. 1t grew at the rate Of
10 per cent a year until 1901. Then the
volume began to swell more rapidly.
1t was IL per cent larger in 1902. 1t
has added L per cent to its rate during
each Of the past four years. AS it
grows in volume the tide covers a wider
territory in its daily swings. 1t is
spreading outward even faster than it
is expanding in size. In 1896 the aver
age distance of the tidal swing was four
miles. Now the average is thirteen
miles. Within three years, when most
of the new rapid transit subway pro-
jects will be completed, it is figured
that the average will be twenty miles.
The average mass of the outpourin g
tan in proportion to the reduction in
transit time rather than by miles.
When, in 1895, people could travel an
average of four miles in half an hour
the mean mass of the population tide
was found in the zone of the four mile
radius. Now that it can travel an aver
age Of thirteen miles in half an hour
1t is found in the thirteen-mile zons.
1t is calculated thus that the future

which can be reached by an averag ge
half-hour ride from the chief Manhat-
tan centers. The 800, 600 daily mass OF
population which flows toward the CEN
ter in the morning and scatters toward
the circumference i'm the late after
noon jams the ferries and all the car
lines. The elevated. surface and sub
way roads in Manhattan carry 500, 0OC

SHORTS SIGHTED AGAIN

To the surprise of every intelligent
taxpayer in Los Angeles, the board of
park commissioner yesterday declined
to accept the land donated by property
owners of Euclid Heights for park on
Stephenson avenue.
This is worse than short sight 1t is
neglect of plain public duty.
Land owners in Los Angeles are as
generous as those of any other city, but
even our local people are not falling
over each other in wild desire to give
up private property for city purposes.
Los Angeles is lamentably lacking in
small parks. 1t was short-sighted policy
on the part of the founders of this new
city to overlook and neglect park
places. That policy cannot be cor
rected in the downtown districts, but
in the newer sections, such as Euclid
and Pico Heights, land Offered free for
purposes Of small parks should be
readily accepted, with thanks.
The park board gave two reasons"
for refusing the Stephenson avenue
first, that no provision las been made
in this years budget fOr the improve
ment of new parks. The second "rea-
SON. is that it was somebody's scheme
to enhance private property in that
neighborhood.
Both reasons are almost too silly
for public discussion. The property
owners who offer the land free ex-
pressly agree that the improvement of
the property is not asked or expected
this year and there was no stipulation
that the city should build Ithe park
until the money was readily available.
The second reason" is sillier than
the first, because The Herald has
shown that when the city constructs
and develops a park the increase in
the price Of surrounding property nat
urally increases the taxes, increases
the city's revenue, pays for the park
improvement and enhances the beauty
and natui Il advantages of the whole of
Los Angeles.
1t seems like sheer stupidity, there
fore, for the park board to refuse a
donation of land for park purposes in
a case where the stipulations are all
in it's own hands. Los Angeles has
made this mistake too often heretofore.
In the light of present Intelligence and
knowledge of city building. it looks as
though our city authorities ought to
manifest some appreciation of the re-
quirements Of a great metropolis.
The Stephenson avenue property
owners may make one more offer OF
the land in question at the next meet
ing of the park board. If they do. the
board should be prompt IN accepting it,

"a nations ideals" said Alderman
Thomas. "are enshrined in its Ian

1t was impossible not to be impressed

are the Bretons. Great Britain rejoices

Why SHE THREW HIM OUT

A Philadelphia politician was talk
ing about the last Samuel H. Ash
bridge, former mayor of the city.
II worked under Mr.. Ashbridge for
three years." he said, land found him
a good masther, considerate, kind and
just master
But one thing he always insisted on.
That was implicit obedience to orders
If he told you to do a thing, that and
nothing else, was what you We're to do.
He didn't like subordinate to try to
improve on his orders.
'I once tried to improve on an order
of Mr.. Ashbridge's. An errand l had
been sent on l did better. as thought
than 1 had been told to do it. But
when I came back the mayor smiled
and told me a story.
He said that there was a young man
in love with rich and beautiful girl.
The girl informed him one afternoon
that the next day would be her birth
day. He said he was glad to hear It.
He said he would send her the next
morning bouquet of roses one rose
for each year
80 that night he wrote note to his
florist. ordering the immediate delivery
of twenty roses to the young woman.
But the florist reading this order.
thought he would please the young man
by improving on 1t and so he said to
his clerk:

duchess of Brittany, the wife of Louis

like all the others in the procession, a
