WOMAN AND BABES
OUT IN THE COLD
CANNOT PAY RENT FOR HUM
o BILE HOME
Good Samaritan Takes Her in Charge
and Nights Lodging Is Pro-
vided with Police
Matron

With her two wee babes. one of them
only Z months old and the other 2
years. Mrs. l.. McDaniels was turned
from her lodgings at 64S1a Gladys ave-
nue. last night to wander where she
might in the cold and the mud of the
streets. A heartless landlady elected
the poor mother and her little ones
from her rooms because the father and
husband had permitted the rent to go
unpaid for a week, according to the
mothers pitiful tale.
All of the scant belongings of Mrs.
McDaniels were thrown out OF her
rooms. and the frantic woman was sent
out into the black night to look for
shelter for herself and babes. 1t was
heavy load to carry the children in her
arms and a bundle of clothes on her
back, but she trudged bravely along,
knowing not where she went, but
trusting and praying that kind Provi-
dence would send someone to her aid.
Wanders in Streets
For hours she walked up and down
the street as If in q daze. She dared
not go to the police station to ask for
lodgings, for she was timid and the
thought of spending the night in the
grewsome abode of vagrants and
drunks appalled, her.
Tired out, she sat on the curb to
rest and to shift the burden that bore
down on her with crushing weight.
While she sat on the ground woman
passed.
She was a good Gamaritan and she
stopped to inquire of the woman's Ill
fortune. Her heart was touched by the
tale of hardship and she offered her
own home to the mother and her babes
to stay until other place could be found
for them. But hers was only hum
BILE cot of three rooms and, with a
large family of her own, she was un-
able to keep the woman and her babes
during the night.
So accommodations were found for
the family with the police matron at
the central station. There they will be
kept until work can be found for the
woman or a place for her to stay
permanently.

BUILT IN PASADENA
snocIal to Tho Hernld

Special to Tho Herald
PASADENA, Jan. 15.-The city
council this morning considered the
storm drain project and It was in the
form of n petition signed by the ma
iorlty OF the citizens in the vicinity OF
Lake avenue and East Orange Grove
avenue. They asked protection from
the floods of storm water that yearly
ravage the land in the vicinity of their
homes and the councilmen were fur
ther requested to take Immediate
action to protect these lands by Coun-
Gilman Towle, chairman Of the council
committee on streets and alleys, who
stated that not only the citizens suffer
by the ravages of the storm waters on
their private lands, but that public
streets and highways also suffer.
Mayor WaterhOuse suggested the
consideration Of plans now being made
in the city engineers offices for a drain
In the northern city territory. It was
stated that these plans, II followed,
would swing the torrents of storm
water around the city by diverting
them into the east and west washes
leading eventually into the Arroyo
Seco and providing natural waterways.
The council conceded this and the
decision was for immediate action
under the direction of the city engi-

Modern Farming
Machinery.
THE BIG CROPS OF THE WEST.

THE modern farmer is concerned
with large acres. He treats his
L soil we'll and he has a system-a
scientific side to his farming as
well as business side. The man who
does things and kno1cs ,0hg he does them
is the one who reaches the top. Most
farmers know that the reason that clover
and all the relations of the clover family
are great restorers of fertility is because
they are. nitrogen gatherers. They enrich
the land because down at tho roots of
these plants are multitudes of little nod
uleS and In these noduleS are millions of
small organisms gathering in nitrogen
from the air and storing it in such way
that the plant will give it up to the soil,
can find and use it. The laboratory has
taught the farmer this, and it is in the
scientific laboratory that they are win
ming new victories every day for the i'm
provement of our fields. Although the
wheat fields produce a billion bushels,
we believe the great strides made in agri-
cultural improvements will bring still
greater .urns this year. In the same
way is mechanical engineering making
great strides and improvements whereby
immense harvesters do the work of
large gang of men and great many small
machines. If the farmer paid half as
much attention to his own body as he
does to his fields, his crops and his bust
ness, he would be healthy as we'll as
wealthy. DIR. r. V. Pierce points out, In
his Common Sense Medical Adviser"
that the great trouble with the majority
of our Woodworking people in the farm
ing districts is that they eat too much
pork and fried meats and vegetables.
The stomach after all is the center from
which radiates all our vitality, our
strength and health. The laboratory
teaches us that when the stomach is
healthy it takes from the food just what
Is needed for feeding the blood. just
enough of the elements to make pure
rich blood. How much suffering might

CORONER VOTES
ARE THROWN OUT
BOTH CONTESTANTS LOSE IN
RECOUNT
Little Hope Of Booth Winning Fight
Unless the Supreme Court Re-
verses Ruling of Judge
West

In department five of the superior
court yesterday before Judge u. b.
West of Orange county, the recount in
the contest of DR.. Booth, the nonparti-
san candidate for coroner against
coroner Lanterman was practically
declared off after attorneys represent
ing the contestants had found that
through n recent ruling of Judge West
relative to the throwing out of certain
votes the nonpartisans lost more often
than they gained in the recount.
The contest for the judgeship which
Attorney Milton x. Young attempted
against Judges Hutton and Houser
was lost because of Judge Vests rul-
Ing BY the courts order, all votes
marked with circle and cross at the
top of both the nonpartisan and Inde-
pendence league columns were declared
void. At the time of contest for the
superior bench, the attorneys repre-
senting Young put up a strong fight
to have that ruling reversed, but Judge
West stuck to the letter of the law and
after taking the subject under con-
sideration he sustained his own rul-
ing and 6000 votes for the county nom
partisan ticket were thrown out. At
torney Young then withdrew and that
contest was declared at an end.
Both Sides Lose
DR.. Booth, the nonpartisan candidate
for coroner, who lost to Lanterman by
scarcely 200 votes, continued the con-
test at considerable expense for clerks
fees. 1t was thought at first that the
validity of the Soldiers home vote
would be attacked, but Booth later de-
cided not to make that fight and the
recount of the votes was taken up on
Tuesday morning.
Before the attorneys had gone very
far they saw that both sides were los
ing a very nearly the same proportion
and that with the 5000 taken from DIR.
Booth it would make the success of the
contest practically an impossibility.
An appeal to Judge West to again
consider his decision failed and the at
torneys asked for postponement until
today, Today if possible they will
amend their petition in such way to
make an appeal to the supreme court
possible without further recount but
II necessary the recount will be fin
ished and then the case appealed to
the supreme court to made sure of
Judge Vests decision.
Count Several Precincts
In the recount yesterday the vote
was counted from several precincts,

being tailed as follows:
