BOY FALLS FROM
SLIDE FOR LIFE
His Hold ReIaxes and Youth PIunses
Thirty-five Feet to the
Ground, Fracturing
His Hip

After an afternoon of exhilarating
sport riding down a long rope on a
pully, little Floyd Hutchens of 1417
Lawrence street fell from the top of
the slide to the ground below, fractur-
ing his hip and frightfully bruising his
entire body. He was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where Doctors Quint
and Clark set the broken hip and sum-
moned the ambulance Of the county
hospital.
Floyd and about thirty other boys
Of the neighborhood were engaged in
sliding down rope attached to tall
tree, riding down the perilous incline
by hanging to a pully. On the long
steep incline the boys developed a high
rate of speed before they reached the
ground All afternoon they took turns
with the rest When the lad was about
thirty-five feet from the ground he
missed his hold and fell to the hard
earth beneath.
His right hip was fractured, his chin
badly bruised and he was injured more
or less seriously in other parts of the
body. At the receiving hospital the
doctors expressed surprise that the ac-
cident had not resulted fatally.
The boy, in explaining the accident,
said:
1.-THE kids call it the "slide for your
life." All the kids were sliding and l
was, too; but l lost my grip. Then l
fell. That's all there Is about II"

had a bad habit of running away from

Grace told the police SO many COM
fiicting stories they were puzzled to
know whether she was really lost or
was a runaway child. The appearance
of her father cleared up the situation.
Mr.. Hughes says he will have her put

Will CONSIDER
JAIL CONDITIONS
OLD STOCKADE PLAN TO BE
REVIVED
Council Probably viii Discuss Matter
at Today's Session-PoIice De-
partment May Ask for
Additional Men

Today's session of the city council to
consider legislation is expected to be
the briefest so far this year.
Some business was transacted at the
adjourned session last week, so that no
meeting of the committee of the whole
or of the finance committee was neces-
sary on Saturday.
The only uncertainty today Is over
the item of new business and mayors
messages.
Under the latter head it Is likely that
Charles H. Fuller, president of the
Pioneer Truck company, will be named
as police commissioner by the mayor to
succeed Sam Schenck. Fuller Is big
man physically and, the mayor says, IN
other respects as well. His appearance
on the board will lend strength, say
certain councilmen who will oppose any
other nominee.
Another effort will probably be made
in view of the horrors in the Jail, due
to the crowded condition, coupled with
summer weather. to establish stockades
in Elysian and Griffith parks. There
the chain gangs can be kept at less ex-
pense, more comfortably, and the city
will save the loss in time due to the
long rides to and fro from these parks
each day by the gangs.
Want More Patrolmen
Notwithstanding the shortage of
funds, the police department may ask
| for ten additional men each month in
definitely. Los Angeles, with the same
area as San Francisco, has 250 men,
| while the Bay City has 800.
Chairman Wallace of the finance COM
mittee will make final appeal to de-
partment heads to turn in their esti-
mates of needs for the next six months
so that the budget can be considered
| this week.
| An effort probably will be made to re-
new the movement for new bridges In
the hope that at least two of these steel
and concrete highways can be started at
once, the cost to come out Of the regu-
lar revenues.
| Funds, it is thought will come in as
fast as the bridge work proceeds, as the
construction process is not q speedy
one.

PERPETUAL YOUTH
SAVANT'S CLAIM
SAYS DISCOVERY PREVENTS
DEATH
Member of New York Academy Of
Sciences, Now in Los Angeles,
Says Electricity Means
Health

ct have at last discovered the secret
of perpetual health. BY means of my
discovery I believe death will be done
away with and that no matter what
our age, our youth will always remain
with u.s.
The speaker was DR.. M. A. Markin,
one of the most eminent members of
the Academy OF Sciences of New York,
who passed through Los Angeles yes
terday on his way to the City of Mex
leo, where he expects to remain sew
eral months OH a pleasure trip.
II believe electricity is the secret
continued the scientist, land that the
body should be given cleaning by
this means frequently. If this cleansing
is then followed by an auxiliary treat
ment in expelling from our bodies the
morbid waste caused by electricity,
there is, in my opinion, no longer any
internal reason for growing old or dy-
ing. This treatment Is slightly SINH
lar to Prof. d'Arsonals high frequency
current electric treatment.
Electric Baths the Secret
"The majority of persons die of ar
terio- -sclerosis. / use sphygometer TO
measure the tension of the blood in the
arteries If the mercury In this IN
strument marks fifteen or sixteen CEN
timeters 1t shows normal tension. III
the tension is higher or lower eight or
nine baths of the electrical current will
bring it to the normal, where 1t will re-
main and all danger OF arterio-
sclerosis will be removed
"These baths should not last longer
than ten minutes and in many cases
five minutes is sufficient They should
be taken about three times the first
week and twice each week on the three
following weeks. They give the patient
no sensation whatsoever and patient
with even the weakest heart can stand
them"
At the expiration of his vacation Dr.
MarlSin intends to return to the United
States and deliver course of lectures
before scientific bodies on his discovery.

SAYS LABORERS
ARE PARTICULAR
Employment Agent Declares Much
Trouble Is Experienced In Se-
curing Men for Work at
Suburban Points

santa Monica avenue, just outside
the city limits; 81 day"
mot for mine."
This conversation was heard yester-
day between the representative or a
firm which employs large numbers or
men for construction work on railway
and street car lines, and man dressed
in the garb of laborer. The latter had
lust applied for work, but refused the
nroffered position when told the COM
nensation and where he would be enl-
ployed.
II find 1t is almost impossible for me
to get men to take positions when they
find they have to use street cars said
the employment agent, and a great
deal of work is standing idle because
the men refuse to leave the thickly
populated sections OF the city.
''I don't know as I blame the men,
either" he continued. Ten cents day
to a man who is earning only 81 Is quite
an item. In addition to this expense ne
has to get up half an hour earlier in
the morning. if he lives near the central
part of the city, in order to get to the
place he works.
suoaests Free Transportation
.Drhere seems to be but one thing to
do. and that is for the employer to fur
nish his men with street car tickets.
AS a usual thing they object to doing
this If construction work remains at
a standstill much longer, however, tney
will be forced to 1t.
work on the new buildings in the
downtown section of Los Angeles is
being carried along in good shape,
though many of the contractors are
short of men, and the employment
agencies are swamped with calls both
for skilled and unskilled laborers. l
know of one agency that last week had
calls for 200 men at good wages and was
unable to supply one-fourth that num-
ber.
What the reason for this is cannot
say There seems to be many idle men
In Los Angeles. but when you ask them
if they want work they generally ap-
pear to be pretty choice of the jobs
they select"
