COMEDY WELL PLAYED BY
AMATEUR DRAMATIC CLUB

"Esmeralda," comedy-drama in
four acts, was well produced last even
ing by the Dobinson Dramatic club at
Dobinson auditorium, 1044 South Hope
street.
The plot of the play gives chance
for some good acting and the members
of the cast last evening grasped all it's
opportunities. Miss Grace Tobias as
Nora Desmond was one of the best in
the play. She was unaffected and
natural and gave her lines with con-
Viction and as If she meant them.
C. Cox made fine character study of
Elbert Rogers, the North Carolina
farmer. He was the typical uneducat-
ed American out of place in the gay
whirl of Paris life. Miss e. Reed as
Lydia Ann Rogers, the farmers wife,
could not have been improved. The part
was one of the hardest in the cast,
but Miss Reed was we'll able to take it,
Miss d. Shepherd gave just enough
of the natural simplicity and natural
ness to make the character of Ecmer-
aida Rogers, the young daughter, as
charming as 1t should be. Dave Hardy,
the young North Carolinian and the
hero, was impersonated by e. T..
Phipps, and Mr.. Ludwig was excellent
as Marquis de Montessin, the French
adVenturer.
A. ]. Brewer was good as Mr.. Esta-
brook, a man of leisure, and Mr.. Rob-
inson as Jack Desmond, an American
artist in Paris, did well. Miss McDon-
aid gave a careful Interpretation of the
character OF Kate Desmond, a sister Of
the artist, and Mr.. Robinson. imper-
sonating George Drew an American
speculator, made a good villain.
The play was a credit to the director,
George A. Dobinson, in every way.

A WONDERFUL
DISCOVERY

Anyone, who has ever felt the pangs of
toothache, the grip of the forceps, or
the buzz of the dental burr, will well
come any discovery that prevents
needless suffering, or the disfgure-
ment Of the human face, due to i'll kept,
decayed or missing teeth. The uni
versal need of a harmless preventative,
led skillful and experienced dentist
to experiment with mineral substances
used in dentifrices; only to discard
them one by one, on account of their
Injurious grit. Disappointed, but un-
dismayed, DR.. Deichmiller continued
his researches until he finally discov-
cred VEGETABLE compound which
contained all the elements Of an IDEAL
tooth powder. This was given q years
careful test in his own and some coll
leagues private dental practice; and
pronounced by all so perfect that it
was decided to extend its use to the
public under the name of DENTA-
LON.
The various tests revealed the start
ling truth that where cleanliness reigns
there can be no decay. That clean teeth
do not decay. That an ounce of pre-
vention saves more teeth than a pound
of gold. That DENTALON has rare
ORGANISING QUALITIES yet aDSOlutely no
grit to wear away the enamel, make
the teeth sensitive, scratch or tarnish
the dentists gold work, nor irritate
the gums. The simple, harmless VEG
ETABLE compound of which DENTA-
LON is made absorbs offensive odors
and purifies the breath more perma-
nently than mineral-made tooth pow
ders. DENTALON is just coarse
enough to give that natural, cleans
ing, massaging friction so necessary
to stimulate the circulation, and by
it's antlseptic oils imparts a wonder
fully soothing, healing and hardening
quality to diseased gums and loose
teeth. The many genuine merits of
DENTALON convinced these critics
that 1t filled all the requirements of an
IDEAL tooth powder, and worthy of
the highest recommendation of the
dental profession. Their honest con-
viction was that If everyone knew the
merits Of DENTALON they would not
risk running their teeth with cheap,
gritty mineral pastes and powders
but use only DENTALON, which can
now be had of all progressive drug
gists.
DENTALON should be placed In the
palm of the hand. taken up with good.
stiff, moist brush and the teeth brushed
two or three times each day.

When he was searched a certificate
of some kind was found on his per-
son, and this he tried to keep possess

MORE PAY
Joseph Scott Says Proposition VIII Be
Discussed and Later viii Be
Put Up to the City
Council

Joseph Scott will champion the cause
of the school teachers at the regular
meeting of the board of education.
When the board convenes Monday
night it's president will place before 1t
the subject of increased pay for the
city's school teachers and the earnest
ness with which the subject has en-
Unused him is said to promise much for
the local guides to the paths of wis
dom.
"Ill do everything 1 can to see that
our teachers get more money" he said
last night, land If l don't succeed 1t
will be up to the city council.
when the board meets Monday night
I shall move it take up the subject in
a committee of the whole. Well pre-
pare new figures upon which the city
council can make it's next tax levy.
Then we shall place our estimates and
the entire subject before the finance
committee of the council. After that
it will be up to them to adopt our
recommendations or reject them.
1.-THE city charter allows the board
a total of 20 cents on 800 for school
purposes. For the past few years we
have been getting II to 13 cents, but
this year we shall ask for all 1t allows
us.
Hard to Keep Them
"This question of keeping good teach
ers is getting pretty serious and 1t Is
high time something was being DONE
We are in a fair way to lose all our
best men and women unless higher
salaries are forthcoming very soon.
with the pay teachers get now they
haven't anything to look forward to-
For nine months in the year they work,
getting from $65 to 800 a month, and
after they get older and can't do as
good work they are laid aside for a
younger teacher. l have been in the
business myself. and as soon as could
1 got out of it,"
Mayor Harper is said to be strong
ly in favor of increasing the teachers
salaries, and when the question is pre-
sented to the city fathers 1t is thought
he will use his influence to have 1t
passed on favorably.

RUNAWAY HORSES
ENDANGER LIVES
PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES
BABY'S LIFE
Frightened Team Dsshes Up Crowded
Street, but Is Finally Stopped by
Wagon Wedelna Between
Street Cars

Mrs. Charles f. Mason Of South Pas
adena narrowly escaped death yester-
day afternoon by being run down by a
frightened team Of horses hitched to
truck owned by the II. Jevne company
of 20S South Spring street while she
was alighting from a Garvaza car
at Second and Spring streets. only the
woman's presence of mind saved her
life, and had she been thrown to the
ground her tiny baby, which she car
ried in her arms, would In all probable
ity also have lost it's life.
Mrs. Mason had passed the afternoon
visiting friends at Garvanza. When
the car on which she returned reached
Second and Spring streets she started
to alight. She had just placed her foot
on the pavement when the runaway
team dashed up to the side Of the car.
To have stepped back would have meant
sure death for mother and babe, as they
would have been crushed between the
car and the wagon. To go forward
seemed to mean the same but Mrs.
Mason did not hesitate and sprang for
ward, directly under the horses heads,
landing in heap in the gutter on the
north side of the street. She was
picked up by a policeman who was
there, but was not taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, as she said she felt able
to proceed to her home.
The runaway was one of the most
exciting ever seen in Los Angeles, and
besides Mrs. Mason more than score
Of pedestrians suffered narrow escapes
1t occurred when the streets were most
crowded and vehicles lined each side
of the pavement.
The horses had become frightened
while standing in the rear of Jevne's
store They dashed out of the alley
Snnnnd nn6 t11rnn6 toward
Spring. At the corner stood two cars,
the one on which Mrs. Mason was rid
ing and another about eight feet ahead.
AS the wagon passed the first car the
horses swerved and attempted to pass
between it and the one ahead. The
wagon became wedged between the
cars, and despite the efforts of the
horses they were unable to pull 1t out.
officers rushed to the heads Of the ami
mails and succeeded in quieting them,
but not before the harness had been
badly torn.
A number of windows in both cars
were smashed by the collision and sew
eral passengers were pitched from their
seats.
Before reaching the cars the truck
crashed into a van Of the Pacific Van
and Storage company which was stand
ing near the alley. The van was badly
smashed and the driver, Jack lillian,
slightly bruised.
ct was greatly frightened after the
incident, but did not have time to be
while it was occurring" said Mrs. Mason
when seen at her home last night. II
did not take time to think what to do,
but now see that 1 did the only thing
to save my baby's life and my own. 1
was nervous all afternoon, but have
got over my fright somewhat now.
"I was considerably bruised by my
fall, but the baby was not injured. The
policeman wanted to send me to the
hospital but told him was not hurt"

MILK DEALERS
LIGHTLY FINED
BOARD OF HEALTH FAV0RS
PUNISHMENT
General Sentiment at City Hall In Fa-
Vor of More Drastic Move Against
Men Who Menace Lives of
Los Angeles Children

That the board Of health is strongly
in favor of dairymen convicted of SELL
ing impure milk being given the limit
in a fine was evidenced yesterday at
the meeting of the board of health. Both
DR.. G. B. Dickson and Acting Mayor
Niles PeaSe went on record as saying
that higher fines would do much to
raise the standard of milk, although
there was no intention in any way to
criticise the methods of the city JUS
tices.
According to a report filed, which
opened the way to the discussion, out
of 145 samples of milk examined, forty
nine had been found below standard
and but seven convictions had been OBJ
tanned in the city police courts. On
these convictions fines aggregating $29
had been imposed. In view of the cost
of maintaining the inspection of dairies,
the examination of milk and other work
in connection with the department the
results seemed entirely inadequate.
Thinks Fines Too Small
Acting Mayor Pease said he thought
an ordinance should be passed making
a minimum fine in such an amount that
it would strike terror in the hearts of
dairymen who cared more for the all
mighty dollar than the health of chill
dren.
A. M. Nelms was before the board
on charge of not complying with SAN
itary regulations His license was sus-
pended indefinitely. Nelms, who con-
ducts dairy in Bishop street, made q
rather energetic appeal to the board,
intimating he would brave the dangers
of arrest and fine rather than submit
to the action. If he sells milk today
the milk inspector declares he will be
at once arrested.
tions of filth and actual danger at the
Nelms dairy and warned the man to
build better drains and stalls, but work
has been delayed weeks.
A favorable report concerning the ef-
forts of Mrs. Wilson, who conducts a
dairy on the San Fernando road, led
to the board continuing her license,
which was in danger of being revoked
because of alleged insanitary condi-
tions reported by the milk inspector.
No milk goes out from the William
Niles dairy, which was Investigated
some time ago, according to a report
made by Inspector George Hood.
DR.. G.. Banji, formerly janitor in
the health department, was appointed
a sanitary inspector and Hans Berg,
at present acting as a milk inspector,
was taken from the eligible list under
civil service rules and appointed as
janitor to fill the place made vacant
by the promotion of DR. Banji. who
was educated at Harvard university.
The question of appointing a school
nurse was postponed until the next
meeting.
