NICE TO ME, MAMMA
Los Angeles Pretty Safe Place in
Which to Lose Children,
This Little Girl
Thinks

A pretty little girl of 7 years, with
tears streaming from a pair of blue
eyes, sobbingly appealed to Patrolmar
Williams on Main street yesterday to aid
her in her search for her mother, from
whom she had become separated in a
crowded store.
The officer carried the child to the po-
lice station. where she at once became
the warm friend of those in the SER
geant's office. Without success she tried
to tell where she had lost her mother
and 1t was decided to hold the child until
the parents arrival at.the station, which
was some hours later.
The pleecemen were awful nice to me
mamma" she told her mother, Mrs. Ger
trude Toles Irving of West Adams street
and the looks of regret on the faces OF

SHOWERS TODAY BUT

Fruit Growers Wear Wide Smiles and
Say Rair Which Has Fallen
Has Not Done Fruit
Any Harm,
Showers today.

Showers today.
This is the promise SCI: out by Fore
caster A. B. Wollaber, with the result
that the fruit growers of Southern Cali
fornia are all wearing wide smiles.
The rain which has been falling for
two days has not done the fruit a bit of
harm, and If clearing weather comes
within the next few days the crops will
be greatly benefited.
The showers yesterday made many of
the unpaved streets a trifie unpleasant,
but, according to the officials of the
street department, the sewers all did their
work well and the water soon drained
off.
Southern California's total rainfall has
not been so great as that of Arizona,
while heavier rains fell in a number OF
the eastern states yesterday.

GOES TO LIBRARY BOARD

in the Los Angeles public library, has
been advised by the civil service COM
mission to carry her grievance before the
library directors.

that she had not first consulted the
librarian when six weeks ago she took
the civil service examination.
Mr.. Lummis says he has no recollection
of saying that Miss Parker was disre-
spectful to him and added that the ex-
animation confronting her is the same
which is required of all attendants.
