GARVANZA 0VERSLEEPS
WHILE BELL is GONE
Residents Set Clocks by Its Silver
Tones and Now Dinners Are
Served at All Hours,
Says Committee

Citizens of Garvanza are up in arms
over the removal of bell from the Eagle
Rock avenue school house. and last night
a communication was received by the
board of education asking that the bell
be returned to the school grounds.
Inquiry by President Scott brought out
the fact that the bell had been purchased
by popular subscription when the school
house was built in 1888, and that 1t had
recently been removed because the ring
ing of 1t had caused the roof of the build
ing to leak.
committee of the Garvanza Improve
ment association told the board the bell
had the sweetest tone of any in Southern
California, and since 1t had been taken
away some of the residents who were in
the mabit of setting their clocks by it
had had to go without their dinners.
The town didn't seem like home any
more, and they wanted their bell back.
1t was decided to rescue the silver
toned recess announcer from the junk
heap and erect separate tower for it. so
Garvanza would not oversleep itself any
more.

GARVANZA NOT GUILTY;
RACE SUICIDE UNKNOWN
Board of Education Learns Suburb
Has Enough Children to Fill
Fifteen-Room School
Building

Urging the erection of a new school
building at Eagle Rock avenue, Garvanza,
a committee of the Improvement asso-
citation of the First ward appeared before
the board of education last night.
1.-The present building Is in a danger
Gus position since the street was graded
and is entirely inadequate" said DR..
Cook member of the committee.
''It was built long before Garvanza
was brought into the city, and last spring
when we appeared before this board we
were assured that the only barrier in the
way of a new building was financial diff
ficulty.
"At that time we were told to go home
and vote for the bonds, and we would be
first on the list for new building. Now
we have heard that the intention of the
board is to build three or four additional
rooms and make the old building do for
while.
''What we want is a modern eleven
room building, to cost not less than $780,
! 900, but we could use fifteen rooms to good
advantage"
''Have you some Roosevelt disciples out
there?" asked President Scott.
mo, we had enough children for a
larger school long before Teddy got busy
on the race suicide question" was the
reply of one of the committeeman.
1t was decided to refer the matter to
the building committee, to report to the
board at the next meeting. and the Gar
vanza committee went home happy.
They declared they would have dele
cation on hand to point out the need Of
the new structure when the building COM
mittee went to look up the matter.

FLY DANGER IS
REDUCED TO MINIMUM
State EntomoIogst Says Pest Is Under
Control, but Members of His
Staff Will Carefully Watch
Citrus Districts

1--WE believe we have reduced the dan
ger from the white fly pest to mini
mum in Kern county and citrus fruit dis
tricts in Southern California" said State
Entomologist Edward K. Carnes while
in Bakersfield Saturday, land are now
leaving for our homes to take rest
We shall return to Bakersfield again in
| the near future. However, Mr.. Strong
or Mr.. Masl1ey will be here off and on to
keep watch on the Stockdale trees.
Meanwhile this ranch is under strict
quarantine"
Mr.. Carnes and Deputy Commissioner
Ehrhorn left last evening for San Fran
cisco, where they will resume their duties
as inspectors of incoming. vessels laden
with fruits and trees for this state. Mr..
Pease left for San Bernardino and Mr..
Maskew and Mr.. Strong came to Los
Angeles. State Commissioner Ellwood
Cooper returned to the north several days
ago.
Speaking of the fumigation process Mr..
Pease said:
drocyanic acid gas on the white fly, and
we believe the trial has resulted in sue
cess. Nearly every one. if not all of the
white flies has been destroyed and we
have strong hopes that the eggs and
larvae have also been destroyed. Time
will tell whether this is true. The gas
proves effective in blotting out other
forms of life and should prove destruc-
tive to the white fly. We have left our
fumigating paraphernalia at Stockdale
and will make use of it again If necessary.
We worked all night Thursday and all of
yesterday and are quite tired
Mr.. Pease was very certain that the loss
to citrus fruit growers would not come
anywhere near s1,OOO,oOo, as has been re-
ported He seems confident that the dam
ger is trivial.
Mr.. Carnes stated before leaving that
efforts would be made to thoroughly in
spect the citrus belt of Central California.
Other citrus districts in Kern county will
be watched and no chance taken of any
possible ravage by the fly. After the first
cool weather he said that the results of
their labors this summer could be seen.

CARE FOR YOUR MACHINE,
is ADVICE OF OWNER
Investigate Every Unusual Noise, Says
OnezOveraIIs Save Clothes
Cleaners and TaiIors'
Accounts

1t pays to take a little time to look
after your machine If you would save
expense and trouble. When some little
knock or unusual sound develops while on
the road, stop and see what is the mat
ter, even If the trouble does seem insig-
nificant and you are in a hurry.
Your machine may go along all right
and take you to your destination with
something going wrong about the
mechanism. but in the end you will have
more trouble with 1t and be delayed
longer by break-downs than If you took
an occasional five or ten minutes when
you are In a hurry to stop and adjust
the mechanism"
So says a local owner who keeps a
close account of all items of expense
about his car.
Another has come to the conclusion
that one of the heaviest items in the
account is for clothes spoiled while work
ing over the machine. He has pair OF
overalls, but when he goes to the garage
he is usually in such hurry that he
does not take time to put them on
while oiling and filling the grease cups
preparatory to going on the road. The
result is that his suits of clothes are
soon covered with grease spots and he
has a large bill each month from the
cleaners. Here again it would pay to
take a little time to put on overalls be-
fore touching a machine. There is al
ways more to be done than one expects
when he goes to take out his machine.
The prospective purchaser would dc
well to look to the practical side OF the
proposition. An owner who runs his car
every day should count on giving half
hour each day and two hours once a
week to caring for it unless he wishes
IN hire someone to do ii.

MATURE HEALER WEARS
PLAIN BUSINESS SUIT
ON TRIAL FOR NOT HAVING MED
IcAL LICENSE
Georae M. White Says Every Man
Can Be His Own Physician.
Two Weeks Delay
Granted

George M. White, who claims to be
mature healer" was in Justice smith
court Yesterday afternoon defending MS
claims to divine healing which Grant b.
Bennett, prosecutor of the state medical
board against those who practice medi-
cine without a license, claims Is not
only Illegal, but passes the quintessence
of folly.
When White took the stand in his be-
half he said "I do not base my healing
faculty on any scientific knowledge or
practice I am he of the Christlike tenn
perament, who cureth by the laying on
of hands and mental suggestion. Did not
Christ and the apostles and the saints,
and many ascetics have the power OF
healing the sick and afflicted, and OF do
ing quite unnatural things through the
operation of laws which society calls
miracles because it fails to comprehend
their true meaning and recognize as true
anything which does not agree with the
results of the finite experience?
christian Scientists cure in the same
manner as do. 1t is suggestion Every
body can be his own doctor If he will
by simply encouraging thoughts which
are wholesome. pure and evil-defytng.
It is very rarely that a person with a
sunny disposition and the power OF will
to refrain from recognizing unpleasant
situations of life contracts chronic dis
ease. He generally lives to old age"
Asks for More
"The statements you have made do not
concur with the results of medical re-
search Define your theory BETTER" re-
uuested Lawyer Bennett.
Define electricity" responded White.
''Tell me why science breaches truths
today that tomorrow 1t condemns as err
rors. They of the future will determine
the medical achievements of the present
as impotent as we of today determine
the medical practitioner of the middle
ages. Medicine, surgery and all the
other aspects of healing are as change
able as civilization ITSELF
Two weeks was granted to prepare the
legal battle and present different phases
than those which were presented yes
terday.
This Is probably the first time a case
of the kind has been postponed so that
answer could be made to the unusual
course the defendant has taken.
White was dressed in plain business
suit. and his hair was cut short. He
resides in Pasadena and claims to have
made numerous cures in that city.

OLD OUTFALL
SEWER BREAKS
REDoNDo CAR TRACKS ARE
FLOODED
CITY ENGINEERS STOP FLOW AT
EVENING
Line Is Unable to Stand Ralns-of-
ficiaIs Hope to Have New
Drain Ready In
Time

The old outfall sewer went on another
of its periodical runaways yesterday. The
escaping sewage distributed itself along
the Redondo electric line right Of way.
Toward nightfall the city's engineering
department shut off the escaping con-
tents.
The Redondo line officials notified the
city hall first when the stream broke out
of the junction of Vermont avenue and
Santa Barbara street.
All day long the city hall telephones
were kept busy handling complaints.
Another break occurred at Normandie
avenue and the Redondo tracks.
From this source hundreds OF inches OF
flowing sewage ran down Normanole ave-
nue. for hours.
The stream went as far south as Fifty
second street, then was diverted west
The city engineering department field
mn say that when the old outfall sewer
breaks the sewage runs into the overflow
bitches dug for that purpose.
overflows Wooden Line
The catch basin south of the Redondo
railway became choked, however, and
the waters backed up to the wooden trunk
sewer, which goes under the trolley
tracks.
Most of the trouble was experienced at
this trunk and gangs of men were hur-
ried there with repair materials.
The other breaks were also adjusted and
the catch basin was cleared of sticks and
rubbish which impeded the flow.
The Redondo line officials called out
laborers, who by making bitches along
the right Of way turned the stream into
comfortable channels.
Because of the many sandy spots the
stuff was finally lost in the sands.
Until the outfall sewer Is complete, by
December, there is little hope for per-
manent relief, though all weak points in
the old duct are being strengthened.
If there is no heavy rainfall before De-
cenber the citys forces believe they can
cope with the outfall situation, which
once controlled will probably be the last
in many years to come.

MIND UNBALANCED, MAN
WANDERS ABOUT COUNTRY

Unbalanced in mind as a result of the
shock of the San Francisco earthquake,
William Esser. 20 years of age, was re-
moved yesterday from the city jail, where
he was held on suspicion, and placed in
the hospital. Ever since the earthquake
Esser has been aimlessly wandering about
the country, suffering from hip disease
and unable to settle down on account of
an unbalanced mind.
Esser just arrived from Bakersfield in
search of his half sister Mrs. w. d.
Plant, who lives at 1017 Georgia street.
An officer found him on the street, and
noticing his queer actions took him into
custody.
1t is understood that Mrs. Plant has
been endeavoring for long time to learn
of Esser's whereabouts in order that she
might care for him. She is in Santa
Monica.
Esser is a stenographer and has held
several positions in this city.

The Ruling Passion.

A celebrated musical critic was mar.
ried in church some years ago, and
after the ceremony, as the wedding
procession marched down the aisle. the
organist played the wedding march
from "Lohengrin." When near the
door, the bridegroom stopped in the
march and addressed the wondering
assembly thus
Il know | am committing a breach
Of etiquette as well as propriety In
doing this, but I am not to blame. 1t
Is my mental organization which has
become ineffably sensitive by reason
of the critical nature Of my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket of his
dress coat well thumbed copy of the
score Of "Lohengrin." Opening it at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
What offended my ear was the fact
that in the seventeenth bar of the da
capo passage you flatted very badly,
and in the andante movement you
slurred the appoggIatura. Now" put
ting his finger upon the passage "let
us try that again"
Once more the organ pealed forth.
and this time the player, conscious
that the great critic was listening to
him, accomplished his duty with credit
