ALEssoN TO EDITORS

Tact in the arrangement of news is
one of the features that might well be
commended to the attention of metro
politan editors. AS an instance that
cannot be said to establish the posses
sion of high degree of that happy
faculty, The Living Church calls atten-
ton in both the New York Herald ana
New York World of January 20 to the
following combination of two independ-
ent pieces of news under one heading:
MAD DOG ATTACKS CLERGYMAN
Especial Dispatch to the Herald.) -,
WINSTED, Conn, Sunday-A small
rabid dog attacked Rev. S. WolcottC
Linsley, rector of st. James Episcopal
church, as he was walking in the street
yesterday afternoon and bit a piece out
of his trousers. The dog was killed.
The Mems club of the Second Congre-
gational church last night debated the
question, "Resolved, that the Keeping
of dogs is benefit to the town." Judges
decided the debate in favor of the af-
firmative side.

nearly two hours, Pixley said:

for a public speaker to end up with n

something different here-I am going
to end my address with conundrum.
Now, my friend, up there in the gallery,
l am coming to you. Can you tell me
why greenbacks are like the Jews?'

"Can anyone in the house tell me?"
asked the orator.
There was a dead silence for a mo
ment and then the speaker said:
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, 1 will
tell you why our greenbacks are like
the Jews--it is because they are the
issue of Abraham and know not whence
their redeemer cometh."
Everybody left the hall in a roar cf
laughter. Dave Cohan and Nose

wlNpMILLs AS NEWSPAPERS

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
newspapers, are indicated by windmills.
When miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms of the wheel in
a slanting position and with the sails
unfurled. His friends and guests fire.
quently do likewise with their mills, in
token of the ceremony. To indicate a
birth the wheel is stopped with the
arms in a slanting position, but at q
more acute angle than for marriage,
and with the two upper sails unfurled.
Should a miller die the sails of his mill
are all furled and the wheel is turned
round until the arms form an upright
cross, in which position they are left
until after the funeral has taken place.

help to him and he wanted to get him

RAILWAY WORLD
HARTMAN SHOWS FAITH IN MO-
TOR CARS
Officials Believe That Head of South
ern Pacific Expects to Run
Them Over Los Angeles
Pacific-GeneraI News

Railroad men have become convinced.
that the reason why the gasoline motor
car that was being tested by Southern
Pacific officials over the branch lines
leading out of Los Angeles to the
beaches did not give satisfactory serv-
ice after the first week is because e. H
Hartman, president of the road. gave
orders that the car should not work
What the officials who are not con-
nected with the Southern Pacific can
not understand Is that this car should
make trip from Omaha with d single
mishap and should make runs of fifty
miles at a rate of from forty to fifty
miles an hour without stop for re-
pairs, and then should suddenly get in
the habit of breaking down on short
runs to the beaches and become q
chronic invalid.
That Hartman has faith in similar
cars cannot be denied, for only recently
IL shipment was received in Portland
for use on branch lines running out of
that place.
Cars of this same model are now
making daily runs in Texas Kansas
and other states. On this account the
question as to why this one does not
run seems TO be proper one.
Hartman is now planning a model
town within ten miles of Omaha ard
the principal shop in the place will be
one where motor cars built similar to
the one in the shops here will be manu-
factured.
The solution that has been advanced
as to why Hartman should not want
this car to run at the present time is:
Preparations are being made to
broad-guage the Los Angeles-Pa
railroad, and when that is done motor
cars will be run over 1t connecting with
the steam lines at different points.
! Hartman does not wish the heads
of the other street railways to know
his plans until the cars are here and
running"

DRESSING WELL COSTS HEAVILY

81 have discovered why American
women have to pay heavily to present
that aspect known as stylish, said
woman who keeps her eyes open. In
this country-and the rule holds good
from New York to San Francisco-a
modiste who can turn out dashing
costume charges from fifteen to twenty
five dollars for her work. l have
known girls who had only about thirty
five or forty dollars to spend on an en-
tire outfit, and who had to buy rem
nants for three and four dollars and
then pay twenty dollars for the making.
In Paris the style is within the reach
of every woman who is not downright
poor. There is no such thing as a botchy
dressmaker The difference between the
garments worn by the shopgirl in Mont
martre and those of the grande dame
is in the quality of the fabric and The

ARMY OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

At the beginning of the next school
term in Los Angeles accommodations
will be required for nearly or quite
$4,000 pupils. According to the figures
of the school census which has just been
completed, there are now in the city
As, 900 children of school age. To the
normal increase in the months prior
to the opening of the fall term will be
an extraordinary addition of children
formerly living in San Francisco, whose
parents will have sought homes in Los
Angeles. 1t is a conservative estimate,
therefore, to say that $4,000 children
must be provided for in our public
schools at the beginning Of the next
term.
What is the outlook for housing this
great army of children at the founts of
education that will be available? Finan-
cial provision has been made for a few
new school buildings and for additions
to some old ones. Assuming that these
structures will be ready for service at
the beginning of the new term, which
is very doubtful, there still will be
woeful lack of accommodation.
Throughout the present term, large
numbers of children have been getting
their mental pabulum from halliday
rations of schooling. Many other pupils
have been housed in temporary make
shifts, and excessive crowding has been
the rule in all the schools.
The proposed new structures, even if
they should be available for the next
term, will not more than fill the pres
ent requirement for decent school
room. There still will be a shortage
equal to a year of normal increase in
the number of pupils, plus the addition
that may be expected from San Fran
CISCO
Los Angeles can well afford to make
ample provision for the schooling OF
all it's children and for all others that
may come here from the stricken
northern city. And the time to grapple
with this situation is right now.

FISH DISTINGUISH coLoRs

"Fish know colors," said one of the
biologists of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. "They can distinguish between
red and blue, or white and green, as
we'll as you and /. )"
80 you say said skeptical lawyer.
ut is the truth"
80 you say" the lawyer repeated.
'I'll prove it," cried the biologist, and
he led the way to his huge aquarium.
In this aquarium were some red and
some yellow and some green fish, and
In it were artificial grottoes painted re-
spectively red and yellow and green.
The biologist rolled the water with his
hand, and the fish fled, the red ones
to the red grotto. the yellow ones to the
yellow grotto and the green ones to the
green grotto.
"They know which color shields them
from observation best" said the biolo-
gist. Now, I'll change the grottoes,
so as to prove my statement second
time.
He moved the grottoes to different
places in the aquarium and again rolled
the water.
The same thing followed as before.
Each fish darted like a shot to the
grotto of its own color, where it knew
it would be best concealed.-Philadel-

GET NEW BUSINESS

The proposition has come before the
chamber of commerce to expend a con-
siderable sum in advertising Los An
geles throughout the cast to convince
the skeptics and those alarmed by the
yellow Hearst reports. that this city was
not harmed in the least by the San
Francisco earthquake. That is good
and proper move and should be carried
out at once, and very extensively.
But at the same time here is a sug-
gestion for advertising work nearer
home which will do the city just as
much good, develop its trade and at
the same time help out every smaller
city in California;:
The state OF California north of the
Tehachapi largely depended on San
Francisco as it's wholesale supply
center. Fire and earthquake have so
devastated that city that it must in
the nature OF things be months ere it
can resume its old position in this
respect. Meanwhile other places must
become the bases of supply to the whole
state. Los Angeles, as the metropolis
of the coast, the one big city that felt
the quake not at all. the only one that
has a fully equipped and thoroughly
active wholesale mart, must naturally
states trade during this crisis.
Hence, let Los Angeles tell the smaller
cities of the state that she is ready
to do her duty; tell them, not by letter
or wire or price list, but in person. Let
a train be made up to run out on the
various roads, clear up the state;
passenger train peopled only with
heads of houses-no drummers or
clerks, but the real proprietors. Let
the train be a travelling hotel, whereon
these men shall live for week. Run
1t only in the daytime, from one town
TO another. Make brief stops; let every
wholesaler get out at every town and
visit the men in his line personally;
shake hands with them. assure them
that Los Angeles is all right and able
to take care OF any orders that may be
placed here; that it is not stealing San
Franciscos trade" but is caring for
them while San Francisco cannot Talk
with the small dealers face to face, find
out their needs and desires, invite them
to the Fiesta and make them feel that
the Los Angeles wholesalers are their
friends, first, last and all the time.
Stop over at the largest places all
night and get better acquainted all
along the line Then see the result.
This is no new scheme with cities in
the east. New York, Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha-all these great
wholesale centers try this plan every
year and wouldn't abandon it for any
thing. 1t works out perfectly, and the
cost, compared to results, beats any
form of advertising that could be de-
vised. Besides, it will be proof positive
to eastern detractors that Los Angeles
is on deck and doing business as usual.
The chamber of commerce is the
leader in this city's welfare; will it and
the Merchants and Manufacturers
association rise to the occasion? The
train should start next Sunday night
and return inside of n week. From 20U
to 300 places can be visited in that
time. 1t can be done-will it?
