SANTA MONICA BECOMES
LARGE LIVESTOCK CENTER
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Dec. 26.-Convinc-
ing testimony of the rapidity with
which this section is building up and of
thrift and enterprise of many of it's
new residents is contained in report
from Health officer P. S. Lindsey to
the board of city trustees, in which Mr..
Lindsey makes comment on the result
of recent Investigation of conditions
as he found them in one district.
Referring to a specified back yard,
the health officer states that he found
it filled with poultry pigs. goats and
calves and that cows had been kept
there. The view and smell extended
into a bedroom window less than fifteen
feet away, yet the city has no ordin-
ance, Mr.. Lindsey states, that would
empower him to remedy such a state of
affairs. On another lot he found five
head of cattle, and the chicken roosts
and duck ponds in the neighborhood
outnumbered the voters. Mr.. Lindsey
has asked the trustees to frame an
ordinance limiting the number of ami
mails that can be kept on one lot within
the city, but he sees no way of Offering
any very large amount of relief to per-
sons who complain of this form Of
nuisance.
At a special session of the board of
city trustees held tonight the resigna-
ton of City Attorney f. H. Taft was
presented, with the request that it be
accepted with as little delay as pos
sible. No reason was given by Mr..
Taft for his action.

STRAW VOTE TO BE TAKEN
ON BOULEVARD PLAN
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Dec. 26.-The postal
cards for the first straw vote on the
boulevard plans of the Pasadena
board of trade were sent out and soon
the boulevard committee will have
learned the opinion of the voters or
Pasadena on the question of bonding
Los Angeles county to the extent OF
$3,000,000.
The letter accompanying the postal
cards. one is mailed each voter on the
great register, concisely puts the ques-
ton of good roads up to the Pasadena
electors, and as Pasadenans think, so
the other county voters think, Is the
argument of the board of trade COM
mittee on good roads.
Following is the letter accompanying
the postal ballots which will determine
the straw vote of the taxpayers:
Dear Sir: The Pasadena board of
trade, always looking for an oppor-
tuniey to advance the interests and
welfare of the people of Southern Cali
fornia, and especially Pasadena and
vicinity, have appointed the under
signed committee to solicit your opinion
as to the advisability of bonding the
county for 1000 900 to build boulevards
connecting the following cities: Los
Angeles, Pasadena, South Pasa lena,
Long Beach, Santa Monica, Ocean
Park Venice, Redondo Beach, San
Pedro, Hollywood, Alhambra, San Ca
briel Mission, Norwalk, Rivera, Whit
tier, Monrovia, Azusa Glendora, Lords
burg, Pomona and Claremont.
THE bond issue is not large, con-
sidering the great good it will do and
the size of our county, with total as
sessed valuation of over $S05, 1000, 600.
The tax to provide interest and sink
ing fund for a twenty-year bond issue
would be less than 80 cents per year
naI, nf q
Each year the tax would be reduced
as the bonds were paid off. With a
first-class system of boulevards our
population would increase rapidly,
property would advance in value, many
new homes would be built and there
would be much employment for labor.
1--WE would recommend that the
boulevard have space in the center
for trees and be macadamized fifteen
to twenty feet wide on each side with
No 1 hard rock or crushed cobble-
stones, finished with clean sand and
oil; one side to be used for horses,
carriages and wagons. the other side
for automobiles, thereby avoiding ac-
cidentsl
"The greatest needed improvement
to this country is good roads and if we
want to draw the home seekers to our
community we should have our roads
as good or better than they have. in
other localities that we have to COM
pete with, such as Florida, France
Italy and elsewhere.
THE cost to the individual would
be small, the returns great. Please
sign the enclosed card and return to
us today or tomorrow. Yours for good
roads, r. BARLEY, II. l. Stuart, j. How
ard Patton, Ernest II. May, Herman

PASADENA, Dec. 26.-The amusing
spectacle of grown men-Elks every
one of them-amusing themselves with
mechanical toys such as please the
children on Christmas morning after
the stockings have been emptied is
what would have greeted the eyes Of
any person who looked in upon the
members of the antlered herd last
night after the initiation of a few new
members had closed q busy Christmas
day in Elkdom.
Yesterday afternoon the orphan
children of Pasadena were entertained
with a Christmas tree at the Elks' hall,
the entertainment being given bJ the
local Elks as is their custom each
year. Following the close of the days
festivities the hall was cleaned out for
regular meeting in the evening. But
the Christmas tree was not taken
down.
Some of the I1lks were early at the
hall and the tree suggested the idea
of an aftermeeting celebration and
they hurried out, purchasing almost
the entire remaining stock of mechan-
ical toys from a local toy emporium
These were wrapped in amazing guam
titles of paper and a bundle was put
on the tree for each Elk. At the con-
clusion of the initiation ceremonies the
jolly Elks gathered about the tree and
one was appointed as Kris Kringle to
distribute the presents.
The bundles were opened up and then
the Elks sat down on the floor and
wound UP machines that would make
Monkeys grin and elephants twist
their tails, etc. The incident only goes
to prove the wisdom of the Elks
motto that mo man is all man who
has lost all Of the boy"

HUSBANDS THEIR WIVES
OWN BROTHERS-IN-LAW
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-1t is not
often that two families are so closely
linked by marriage as those of Burns
and Cotney. Three Burns sisters have
married three Cotney brothers, the last
ceremony having been performed only
few days ago.
Mary Burns married Louis Cotney
nine years ago and they are now liv-
ing at 2124 Ellsworth street. Two years
later Margaret Burns became the wire
of Joseph Cotney. They live at lozl
South Capitol street.
The latest family alliance between
the Burnses and the Cotleys was the
marriage of Sarah Burns Elkins to
John H. Cotney. Mrs. Elkins' first
husband died several years ago and
she determined to follow the family
precedent in choosing second hus-
band. They are living at 1744 South
Dorrance street.
OF course, children of these pairs will
be double cousins of the other children,
because their mothers are sisters and
their fathers brothers; also each hus-
band is his own wife's brother-in-law.

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-Young women

chilly east winds and the northeastern

It is most unusual even in these days
of the athletic girl-the young lady
who rows, golfs, plays tennis and
even goes camping In the woods with
the same pleasure as her brother.
Yet 1t is done nightly at the Brooke
house, Chandler street lodging house
for girls who live out of town and are
obliged to spend their evenings in
Boston on account of business or
studies. 1t Is an institution very sim
liar to the more widely known Frank
lin Square house in its policy.
The young girls, twelve in number,
are all guests of the house and have
warm comfortable rooms downstairs,
yet prefer to sleep on the roof under
a long, narrow tent because, as they
declare, It's fun and healthful," and,
though they did not say 1t, 1t is con-
ducive to ruddy tint of the COM
pleXion.
Young Woman Talks
A reporter, hearing of the affair,
went up to the house for the purpose
of inquiring. He was met by a young
lady, student who was studying a

receiving guests in the absence of the

"Still?" asked the reporter, some
what astonished.
YES" replied the young lady in the
same manner land they have been
doing it ever since last May. But, of
course, they don't have to, you know.
They have rooms here; they are just
doing it for fun and because they
think it healthful."
But surely they are going to stop
soon?" she was asked.
"I really don't KNOW" she replied
"but my chum can tell you more about
it; she sleeps up there"
At this point the chum came through
the hall and after some hesitation
consented to tell the reporter of the
roof garden.
"You see, it is just like this" she
said. 1--WE girls wanted some place to
sleep that was cool and airy during
the summer months, so we got per-
mission to use the roof. We got a
tent and fixed it up with couch ham,
mocks and it proved to be just the
thing we wanted.
