MORlng Over a Gown

The present style Of having the arm
hole outlined by wide bias fold of silk
the color of the frock opens up great
possibilities for the gown that has grown
too narrow across the back or chest,
and so do the bias folds in tuck effect
with which many Of the newest dresses
are trimmed When the armhoIe is
trimmed as mentioned the rest of the
waist is generally in eton coat effect
with a fancifully cut band at border.
and is worn over a lace or net waist
with ruffled sleeves in elbow length.
What was formerly the sleeve in the
waist can be transformed into a sleeve
cap, loose and short. and with these
ieW touches the old waist is completely
up TO date.

BACK THE POLICE

In regapd to the miscreants who live
by the wages of sin in the red-light
district, an official of the police depart
ment is quoted as saying: Let there be
some law passed which will give us
control over these wretches and it will
not be long before we have ended their
career in Los Angeles"
Then provide the needful law at once.
The city council has the power to pass
any ordinance necessary in the premises
and the offer on behalf of the police de-
partment should be accepted promptly
and gladly.
AS The Herald has intimated before,
the deadly upas tree of the redlight
district cannot be eliminated merely by
attacks upon the twigs and branches,
Even to hack the trunk is non-effective.
In order to obtain results that will be
decisive and lasting it is necessary to
dig up the roots.
There would be no bawdy house dis
trict in Los Angeles if there were no
avaricious owners of property willing to
rent buildings for such purposes be-
cause of the exceptionally high figures
obtained therefor. Such owners are the
most culpable factors connected with
the nefarious business, the wretched
women involved being really the least
culpable. If the present laws are not
adequate to curb the cupidity of such
house owners the defect should be
remedied without loss of a day.
Concerning the human hyenas who
infest the infamous district, preying
upon the fallen women, no words of
execration can do justice to the subject
But take the police official at his word
in regard to that class. If there is need
only for greater legal latitude to en-
able the police to run such beasts out
of Los Angeles, the city council should
get busy" at once.
And the community will back to the
limit any and every endeavor to de-
stroy that upas tree-twig, limb, trunk
and roots.

THAT STEAMSHIP PRoJEcT

The project for a steamship line con-
Meeting the port of san Pedro with the
Hawaiian islands has ripened greatly
as a result of the chamber Of commerce
excursion IN the steamship Ohio. Both
In Los Angeles and Honolulu there is
plenty of enthusiasm as a starter for
the project. There will be plenty Of
available money, also, If it can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of
capitalists that the proposed steamship
lire would prove to be a financial sue
cess.
II the proposition were expanded SO
as to make the transpacific route COM
plete, Honolulu being a midway sta
tion in the line between San Pedro and
Yokohama, It would not be hard to
demonstrate It's financial feasibility.
This because there is a basis of prac-
tical experience on which to calculate
the business that the line would COM
mand
In December, 1899, the Santa Fe Rail-
way company established a steamship
line between San Diego and the chief
ports of Japan and China. That was
before the Santa Fe company con-
structed it's branch line leading to San
Francisco. The main purpose in pro-
jecting the steamship line from San
Diego was the shipment of cotton for
the Japanese and Chinese mills, the
Santa Fe company then having at COM
mand vast shipments by railway to the
Pacific coast, but with no outlet be-
yond.
The line in question secured large
trade from the oriental ports to San
Diego and San Francisco as we'll as
enormous cotton freightage from the
former port. San Pedro at that time
was not a harbor suitable as a ter
minus for such a line. The vessels em-
ployed were chartered from an English
company and the service was continued
until the Santa Fe railway was ex-
tended to San Francisco.
The cost of operating a steamship
line between San Pedro and the oriental
ports would be greatly reduced, rela-
lively, as compared with a line plying
only as far as the Hawaiian islands
And there would be no question about
securing full cargoes by operating be-
tween the two Pacific coasts.
