Finishing the interior of the big gas
bag of an airship is one of the most
delicate and important tasks in the en-
tire construction. Our illustration
shows the interior of the dirigible
balloon built by w. H. Dilger, of Gin
cinnati, for entrance in the aerial navi-
cation contests at the Jamestown ex-
position. The bag is inflated with air
and the men are working in their
stocking feet in order not to injure the
delicate silk fabric, and have been ap-
plying white soapstone, which is used
to keep the tissue from sticking to-
gether, as the varnish never becomes
quite dry, but is always little tacky.
The segments of the envelope are
clearly shown in the views. These
segments, explains Popular Mechanics,
are sewn together and the seams re-
inforced on the inside with strips of

vents the material tearing farther than
the nearest seam, should the balloon
burst, and gives the navigator a
chance for his life, as the gas cannot
escape as fast as it would from large

prepared, every builder having his own
secret formula, and is applied in thin

new San Francisco theater to the pub

original Alcazar of Seville.
In accordance with the former pol

"MRs. WIGGs" COMES IN
FROM THE CABBAGE PATCH
FOR A WEEKS VISIT HERE

"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
arrived in Los Angeles and made her
annual bow at the Mason theater last
night, expecting to stay 81 week. She Is
the same Mrs. Wiggs as of yore-Madge
Carr Cook having the title role-and is
as thoroughly welcome. Her aggrega-
tion of talent is also good; in the main,
the same players are with her as gave
the comedy so happily a year back.
Mabel Talliaferro has been succeeded
by her younger sister, Edith, but one
would hardly recognize it unless the
program proclaimed it, as the new
Lovey Mary is as lovable and sweet as
the former one. The several children
led by Master Holmes are still strong
feature, and Vivian Ogden as Miss
Hazy is as plaintive as of yore. The
fat and lean neighbors, Mrs. Eichorn
(Helen Raymond and Mrs. Schultz
(Anna Fields) are again admirably de-
picted; Mr.. Stebbinss done by Charles
Carter could not be improved. ard
the whole cast comes in for the high
commendation which is due clever
show, admirably depicted.
Mrs. Wigs" will probably never
grow old. There is that touch of nature
about it which "makes the whole world
kim" and it never fails to strike a re-
sponsive chord in any throng that
sees it.

FIX So MAXIMUM
TELEPHONE RATE
SUNSET FIGURES ARE SCALED
BY COUNCIL
Action Leaves Two Glasses Of Service
at Same Rate, but Company
VIII Adkst soheduIs
at Once

Both telephone companies must
charge no higher than IS a month for
their service.
The city council fixed the maximum
yesterday with but little discussion.
Toward the close OF the session an
apparent incongruity was noticed, but
nothing was done with 1t.
In lowering the Sunset rates from
sS to $5 no notice was taken Of the
fact that the Sunset company has a
limited service rate in vogue at s.,
thus making the schedule now read
IS for the unlimited business phones
and S5 for the next grade Of limited
service phones.
If these figures stand those now
paying So for limited service will want
the unlimited.
Some Of the councilmen suggested
that this would be adjusted by the
company at once, as the law applied
only to the maximum rates.
There is an absurdity in that" said
Councilman Wallace, "but the COM
panies will fix 1t. Give them chance.
IF I am called on to defend suit
I merely wish to know the position
of the councilmen," said City Attorney
Hewitt
Let them adjust 1t with their Gus

The telephone ordinances went
through with a rush. The councllmen
had tired of the clamor, they said.

TRAINED CATS ARE
AN UNUSUAL STUNT
ON THE ORPHEUM BILL

The unique spectacle of eight per-
forming cats can be seen at the Or
nheum this week. This is their first
appearance in America and for felines
the stunts they do are wonderful.
claire Beasy is touring them and at
her command they jump through burn
ing hoops, walk rope, play leapfrog
in mid air. hold to swing with only
their front feet and do a long list OF
interesting tricks.
The Three Mitchells, dancing come
dams, keep the audience guessing as
to the nationality of one Of the three.
The man is a fine dancer and is the
best of the party.
What was heard of Lee Harrison "in
characteristic smart songs and stories
from life" was excellent, but much to
the regret of his audience he had to
shorten his act on account of heavy
cold.
Dorothy Kenton. the girl with the
banjo, is mistress of that instrument.
She plays her selections, which are all
lively, with a vim and a swing that
invigorates, but her smile and her p8se
seem a trifle forced. If she would keep
the laugh on her face until she was
about three feet nearer the wings its
reality might be believed.
The holdovers are Allan Shaw, coin
and card manipulation; Cameron and
Flanagan, in "On and OFF,; Charles e.

MAYOR WINS IN
CHEAP-LIGHTFIGHT
NINE CENTS PER HOUR IS THE
RATE ADOPTED
GentIemen's Agreement Is Reached
Under Which Schedule Will
Remain Unchanged for
Three Years

Los Angeles will get 9-cent cleo
tricity hereafter.
Mayor Harper, who was given credit
yesterday for the reduced rate by
Councilman Wallace on the floor-after
the Fifth ward councilman made the
assertion that the mayor had asked
that the gentlemen's agreement be-
tween the lighting interests and the
lawmakers be kept secret-was much
pleased over the result Of the action,
though the sharp words Of the council
man and the retort of the mayor
threaten to bring on wordy warfare
between the big Democrat and the big
non-partisan.
The council took up the question
early in the day, the mayors veto
message being read on the 10-cent or
dinance, and with only one jarring note
passed the measure fixing rate of
9 cents per kllowatt hour. The note
was furnished by Wallace. who said:
"The mayor has said that the COM
pany would agree to the 9-cent rate
only on condition that it should pre-
vail for three years. The mayor has
asked us not to make public the terms
of this compromise. Before criticising
the mayor in this action 1 desire to
say 1 am heartily pleased with the
start he has made for his administra-
ton. 1 think he is actuated by a
desire to protect the interests of the
people. But 1 do not propose to sit
here and permit him to cudgel the
council for naming a rate which
consider equally as advantageous to
the consumer as that which he now
recommends"
On hearing these statements Mayor
Harper talked back.
Mr. Wallace's utterances are those
of corporation pleader.
1--WE had a conference between the
councilmen and electric officials and
agreed on not tampering with the
rates for three years, the agreement
being that of gentlemen. 1 did not
ask that the facts be not made public.
I took the position that the public
should know all the facts. 1 so stated
to the councilmen.
"I figured out what the reduction
of one cent per hour would mean to
the people and it sums up about $2Z5'ooU
in three years"
Councilman wallace seemed exer-
cised over the fact that the message
reached the public before it reached
the council.
"I had to file my message before
noon Saturday to have it in the city
clerks office within the legal limit
