COUNCIL RE-ENACTS
ANTI-ASCOT BILL
END OF MEETING RELEASES
ALL PLEDGES
Pool Selling and Book Making in Los
Angeles Again Prohibited by
Action of the Local
Solons

Redeeming the promises made some
time ago City Attorney Leslie R.
Hewitt yesterday asked the city coun-
Gil to re-enact the anti-pool selling
law which was waived for the Ascot
park people.
When the annexation of the shoe
string was consummated the Los An
geles Jockey club began litigation to
defeat the scheme which would have
tied up annexation and perhaps killed
it. A compromise was made by which
it was agreed that the 1907 race meet
ing would be permitted provided the
injunctive efforts were abated.
Now that the meet has closed the
following recommendation was placed
before the council yesterday by Mr.
Hewitt:
"I herewith submit draft of an ordi-
nance prohibiting bookmaking and
pool selling on horse races in the city
of Los Angeles.
cat the time the suits were with
drawn that had been brought to test
the legality of the annexation of the
strip extending to San Pedro, which
strip included Ascot park. the city
council 80 amended the then existing
ordinance relative to pool selling at
horse races so as to permit pool SELL
ing at such races in the city of Los
Angeles within the enclosure of the
race track, but such action was taken
by the city council for a temporary
purpose only, viz, to permit pool SELL
ing at Ascot park during the race meet
which was to expire on or before April
l, 1907.
IT have been informed that said race
meet has expired and I therefore pre-
sent the ordinance referred to in this
70 oil
selling and hand book making at horse
races in this city may be prohibited"
The council adopted the recommen-
dation.

The city attorneys recommendation
that the license on mediums, clairvoy-

the city council yesterday.
Last week the measure was suggest

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
TO AID OF TEACHERS
BETTER TIMES AT HAND FOR

Heads Of School Administration at
Work Devlsing Means of Secur-
ing Increase in School
Revenue

Mayor Harper. Joseph Scott, presi-
dent of the board Of education, and DR..
E. c. Moore, superintendent of schools,
have all expressed themselves as favor
ing heartily raising the pay Of Los An
geles school teachers. The only dls-
agreement is on the method of bring
ing this desirable result about. Presi-
dent Scott thinks that If the public is
informed, through the papers. Of the
exact status of the teachers pay rolls,
in comparison with other employees Of
the city, the desired result Will be dc-
complished i'm very short time. DR..
Moore thinks that publicity will hurt
the cause he is trying to promote.
Gentlemen, it's a shame and dis
grace to this big city to continue pay
ing such salaries to our teachers" said
Mr.. Scott to the board of education
some time ago. I'VE pay our clerks
and lawyers and office men good saar-
les, and the women that we depend on
to instruct our children get salary
that will hardly keep them alive. tell
you, gentlemen" he declared forcibly,
ITS time we did something to
straighten this matter out.
Il want to put this squarely before
the people. With the appropriation
this board has to spend now we can't
do anything; but we've got to ma some
way to get the money.
Puts 1t Up to City Fathers
ITS up to the council. We are al
lowed 20 cents on the $100; but up to
the present time we haven't got more
than Is cents. The money has been
for roads or something
else that the council thought was
needed more than the teachers. If we
can have our 20 cents we will be able
to give the teachers a little nearer the
remuneration they are worth.
Some time during April the board
will appoint a committee to go before
the council, asking for the 20-cent allot- |
ment If we get it we will be able to
give the teachers a substantial in
crease"
Mayor Harper has promised to take
up the question of higher salaries with
the council at once. He is heartily In
favor of paying the teachers more
salary and will hurry action.
With the salaries now in vogue many
of the teachers have barely enough to
pay expenses, and when they are de-
barred on account of age or disability
their state is often deplorable. After
giving the best years of their lives the
teachers are often let out of their posi-
tions with no pension or savings which
they can fall back on.

FAMOUS LECTURER SAYS
MONKEYS ARE SENSITIVE

Prof. Andrews, the famous lecturer
with the Sells-Floto shows, says mon
keys are very sensitive and tells of
this menagerie incident:
Every time the man who wore his hat
tilted over against his left ear peered
in through the bars of the cage the
monkeys nearly had a fit. The man
could not explain their panic; neither
could his wife and children. Other
people might press their faces as close
as the bars would allow, and even
thrust their hands in through the
chinks, and the little animals within
seemed coolly Indifferent to the famil-
iarity, but the minute the man with
the tip-tilted hat appeared, excitement
straightway thrilled each simian breast.
IT'S mighty funny" said the man.
Il wonder what ails them? 1 don't
do anything to them"
Maybe it's because your hats on
crooked, pa" suggested one of the little
boys. "Straighten it up and see if that
will make any difference"
Monks Are Suspicious
Theh man shifted his headgear
around to the conventional angle, but
even when equilibrium was thus re-
stored the monkeys still looked upon
him with suspicion. Presently one of
the keepers Joined the crowd and 1t
lOOh slllil lCSS lllciIl ildil a. minute TO
figure out what had puzzled everybody
else for half an hour.
Il don't want to get too PERSONAL"
he said to the man whose hat had re-
sumed its rakish tilt, "but it's because
you're squint-eyed."
Because I'm what?" said the man.
"Squint-eyed,. repeated the keeper.
Monkeys can't bear squint-eyed peo-
pie. Why, they don't like 'em l can't
say. but it is matter of science that
they don't They can tell a pair of
squint eyes as far as they see 'em, and
they always take on just as they are
taking on today. It's queer, but it's
fact, as any other keeper will tell you"
The man whose eyes had been re-
sponsible for all the uproar wheeled
around sharply.
"Well," he said, "if I have that ef-
feet on them 1 guess I'd better move
on"
The happy family cage at the Sells
Floto menagerie is the center of inter
est every day.
Are Considered Enlightened
Monkeys, as a class, are regarded as
the most enlightened and but for their
deVilishness could be taught to do al
most anything but talk. In a way thew

RESTORE OUR HOME LIFE.
A Plea That the Nation Must Soon
Heed or Perish.

Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of
the Woman's National Trade Union
League, says: THE presence of
woman in the labor field has lowered
the wage earnings of men,. In no case
should woman underbid man. Home
is the place for the weaker sex, and
only to the entrance of woman into
mans field is accounted the reason
why fewer men are marrying today.
They cannot earn enough to support
two, let alone family. There should
be no night work for the women and
the hours of labor should be fixed"
This woman sees with acute vision
the trend of the times and realizes,
with other thoughtful people, that the
increased cost Of living and the de-
creased earning power of men with
this thoughtless cheap competition
from the other sex and the rapid de-
crease in marriage-more noticeable
in the larger cities of the countries
promises a woeful spread of immoral
ity and that great bulwark of right
living, the home.
The same trend may be seen in the
breaking up of home life and removal
to hotels, rooming houses and restau-
rants. Women who are thus 'emanci-
pated" from the duties and interests
Of home too often become prey to the
evils that beset the pathway of idle
ness.
Let us see the organization of a
Woman's Christian Home Preservers'
Union to combat this greatest peril of
the times. Let us see the real woman
hood of the land, instead of wasting
energy in quixote campaign for suf-
frage, bend their efforts toward stop
ping the output of a bottle-fed race
that knows not genuine motherhood
except by tradition and the old-fash-
toned story book telling CT the real
home life that once was.
Let us see a disappearance of this
dollhouse caricature of woman, with
the wasp waist and 'higher-life
fads, and there will be restoration
of the solid rock foundation of human
virtue and greatness-the American
home.-Oklahoma City Daily Okla

DovetaiIed Hive.

ular among men who produce honey
by the ton, as well as among amatuers
who keep one or two colonies for the
pleasure of it. Each comb is in a
wooden frame, and one or all the
combs can be lifted out of the hive
and returned at will, and this is true
of all movable-frame hives. The
frame used in the dovetailed hive
is called the Langstroth frame and is
17M inches long and 9H inches deep,
outside measure.
For the production of extracted
honey, ten-frame hive is best. For
comb honey it is also best, except for
those who pay great deal of atten-
ton to their bees. Such persons may
do as well or better with an eight
frame hive, but for those who have
only a few colonies and do not expect
to spend much time with them. hive
SO small as one having only eight
frames is not to be thought of. Too
much danger that the bees will be
scarce of stores and starve in winter
or spring.
Another reason why the larger hive
is better for the average farmer is
that bees, are not SO much given to
swarming' where they are in large
hives. However DESTROYS you may be
now to have your colonies swarm SO
as to increase the number of colonies,
you may rest assured that the time
will come when you will be still more
anxious that your bees shall not.
