For Sweet Charity

The deYotees of local society, pauSing
a moment before tho winter whirl of
gayety' is started, are giving to their time.
their talents and their substance to coax
the pennies from their neighbors pock-
cts in the interest of the unfortunate
ones of the city.
Los Angelenos have never before at
tempted vaudeville: musical comedy has
had it's day, and THE Toy Shop and
operettas seem to be a thing of the
past. Society vaudeville has become pop
ular, and dainty society maids. jovial
club men and popular matrons are all
practicing Stunts to make the coming
Assistance league entertainment one of
the grandest affairs yet given In this
ais. are now actively on for this enter
tainment to be given at the Mason the
ater, November 18th.
1t Is due to Mrs. Walter Newhall that
the Assistance league came into exist
ence and 1t is due to most active mem
bership that it has been able to cover
the large amount Of good work already
and it Is again due to this
same membership that arrangements are
practically complete for this entertain
ment. 1t has been discovered that many
members of the social elect possess ex-
ceptional talent, and they have consented
to demonstrate the same for the enter
tainment of their friends.
The program has been divided into sec
tions and each department is under the
efficient management of some social
queen and her ladies' in waiting. The
courtiers were never more loyal in the
days of King Arthur than they are at
the present time endeavoring to make
their particular branch of the program
the brightest, most versatile and most
entertaining. The exchange tickets are
ready and are on sale at the Bartlett
music store. The lower floor and a portion
of the dress circle will sell for So, the
rest of the house for 50 and 81 each, ac-
cording to location.

HEALTH BOARD TO
MAKE LAST STAND
WILL ASK COUNCIL TO REScIND
DEPARTMENT. CUT
day While Mayor Holds Up
Troublesome Salary Re-
duction Ordinance

Mayor Harper and the health board
will not abide by the decision of the city
council to reduce the heath department
force-not while a big reserve fund re-
mains Untouched and special necessity
exists for keeping the city in sanitary
condition.
The mayor said last night thathe would
not sign the salary ordinance passed Mon
day, cutting off seven inspectors heads
in the department at least until after
the board as body appeared before the
city council to state the needs of that
department.
Los Angeles has been free from epidem-
les such as are prevalent all over the
world now, and for much of this DR..
Powers and the board employees are given
credit IS
Board VIII Oppose Cut
DR.. A. w. Moore of the board made
an earnest statement when the question
came up, saying that rather than re-
duction an increase should have been
provided in the department forces by the
council. sr
He suggested that the board take some
action both by resolution and personal
appeal to the council to undo the work
of reduction.
Mayor Harper stated to the board that
he was still holding up the ordinance,
as he was opposed to cutting down the
forcee
1t was finally decided to name Drs.
Moore ana j. H. Seymour committee
to draw up resolutions expressive of the
sentiments of the board and then the
board as body would call on the coun-
Gil.
This was passed, DR.. G. B. Dicks on
alone asking to be excused, as he Is
called to San Francisco.
Mayor Harper said after the meeting
that keeping the cily clean was mighty
fine investmeh- now, with hundreds of
tourists coming here every day, and he
thought that the arms of the heads of
the department should b. supported by
the council at such time.
Physicians Active, Too
Prominent physicians of the city have
already made personal appeals to coun-
cilmen of their wards, asking them to
avoid cutting down the department at
this time. They urged the councilmen
to drop any men found to be lazy or
inattentive but not to do away with the
positions of inspectors.
The meeting here of the state. medical
society's directors has called attention
tt the value of the rigid milk inspection
recently introduced in Los Angeles.
These experts said that inspection has
saved the city thousands of dollars in
doctors bills. not to mention the cutting
down of mortality among infants.

THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
New York, March 21.-The move
ment of business on the stock exchange
today was again and much more than
was the case yesterday, toward dull
ness and also plainly toward greater
strength. Save for a comparatively
small recession in prices in the earlier
part of the day caused by the effect of
the not wholly unexpected advance in
the discount rate of the bank of France
from to 31k per cent, the tendency
of prices was throughout the day to
higher level. Closing quotations
stood usually at a net gain OF from
to 4 points. The total volume of trans
actions in the market. however, was
less than that of any full days busi-
ness for more than a fortnight and ac-
cording to all observation represented
in large part the operations OF pro-
fessionaI traders. There were no par
ticularly important changes in the
price of any one stock, and the mar
ket seemed to be governed mostly by
the prevalence of a general feeling
that the factor of greatest weight in it
for the moment was the very large
speculative commitments for the de-
cline in values that has been recently
experienced. II has been commonly
thought that events of the last few
days have served to create the largest
short interest in the market that has
been witnessed for several years and
that this short interest is just now in
more exposed position. Since the
great disturbance of last week sue
ceeding in all attempts to break
prices has not been very successful
and there is NO doubt that the mer-
curial temper of Wall street has be-
gun to tire a little of the Bear ar
guments that have been so long used
The force of>these arguments is ad-
mitted to be academieally strong but
habitual spectators are proverbially
