DON'T Stoop When You Read.

The habit of stopping over when
reading or writing has a bad effect on
most eyes and should be avoided. es-
p2cially if one is nearsighted. When
people approach the age of forty the
morning paper is apt to appear blur
red, and they complain the printing is
getting bad. The trouble is they need
glasses. If they do not get them, later
on their eyes will deteriorate so rap
idly they will be obliged to wear them
all the time. On the other hand. if a
person puts on glasses when the first
warning of tired eyes, is received
he will never be obliged to wear them
the rest of his life except when doing
fine work.

LONDON, Oct. 31.--The editor of the

are now the largest in the English

breeding has become q national industry

said: This has been an unusual season.
A record number of dogs have been
bought by Americans. One buyer shipped
$500 worth Of dogs last week. The
British bulldogs in popularity with Amer

HIGH MAY TACKLE
ST. VINCEN7'S TEAM
SCHOOL PLAYERS MADE SORE BY
coLLEelANs' TALK
Coach Sorenson VIII Arrange for a
Game with Local Collegiate Cham
pions, and His Pupils Are
Anxious for the Fray

The Los Angeles high school football
team and its supporters have been won
dering lately If Coach Sorensen will ac-
cept a challenge from st. Vincent or
U. S. C. for a game this season. High
has played one game with U. S. c. and
was entitled to another, but the coach
thought 1t best not to play three colleges
in succession and so Cancelled the game
scheduled with U. S. c.. for tomorrow.
On the st. Vincent side of the question
the two schools have been practicing to-
gether all season and have thus become
well acquainted with the different plays,
and for this reason 1t was thought that
the two schools would not come together
in contest.
Lately the st. Vincent men have made
a few remarks as to what they could
do to the high and in that way have
reused the fighting blood in the high
boys, who wish to meet them and leave
the decision as to which one is the bet
ter to a game between them.
When Coach Sorensen was asked If he
had made any decision as to which col
lege he would play he said that he was
going to wait until later in the season
before making a decision on the matter.
He said that he would allow the team to
play one more game with a college. I'm
doubtedly he will try to arrange a game
with the college which is entitled to the
local championship.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The sudden dis
appearance of Raymond Hitchcock, the
comedian, has not yet been cleared up.
About the time the news of his failure to-.
appear at the theater on Broadway where
he has been starring, it began to spread
in the theatrical district that he was be-
ing indicted by the grand jury for alleged
misconduct with three little girls. These
indictments charge him with felonies, and
conviction on the six counts might send
him to prison for the rest of his life.
Several theories are advanced as to the
missing actor One is that he is bound for
Europe, another is that he has met with
foul play, and yet another is that he has
committed suicide.
Hitchcocks wife, his lawyer, his bonds
men who are responsible for his appear
ance in court today the police and private
detectives are all looking for him. The
actors bond was furnished by members
of the Savage management.
Hitchcock is under $4,000 bail to appear
in court today to answer criminal charges
upon which he was arrested several davs
ago No trace had been found OF him up
to the hour at which he was to have been
in court, however, although the search
for him continued steadily throughout the
night and morning.
Flora Zabelle, the missing actors wife,
who has a part in the Yankee Tourist
company, in which Hitchcock has been
starring, was completely exhausted today
as the result of the strain of the last
twenty-four hours. Despite the fact that
she was apparently on the verge or a
breakdown, she went through her part

TO RESTRICT
TRACK RACES
AUTO ASSOCIATION PASSES ON
IMPORTANT QUESTION
Referee Must Decide II Course Is Safe,
and Also Has the Right to
Bar Reckless
Drivers

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31-Automobile track
racing, If continued in America with the
sanction and approval OF the American
Automobile association, will be completely
revolutionized in respect to the methods
of conducting such events and the restric-
tions imposed
The committee appointed by the direc-
tors of the association a month ago to
consider the future policy of the national
organization on this important matter has
agreed upon report which will be acted
upon by the association in the near fu-
ture.
The committee does not make the rad
ical recommendation that the track con-
tests be abolished, but proposes changes to
the sanction giving power that will mean
material reduction in the number Of
such events, while at the same time safe
guarding them to the greatest possible
extent.
Most important OF these changes are
that no sanction shall be granted for any
track meet except to a club or organiza-
ton affiliated with the American Auto
mobile association; that such action shall
be accompanied by photo of the track
turns and a certificate stating that every
detail of the track and grounds has been
carefully examined.
The association will then appoint a
referee who shall pass upon the fitness.
not only of the track, but Of the cars and
drivers. He will have power to refuse
drivers who are known as reckless to
compete.
That strong sentiment against track
racing throughout the country is felt was
indicated. by the club vote asked for on
this question. President Hotchkiss an
nounced that of thirty-three clubs voting
twenty-seven were against granting track
sanctions, three were in favor of holding
races under certain restrictions, while
only three voted for track races unre-
servedly.

LOOT FOUND HIDDEN
IN UNIQUE TUNNEL
Three Alleged Members of Gang of
Thieves Are Under Arerst and
Two Valuable Stolen
Rugs Recovered

Warrant was issued yesterday for the
arrest of Earl Salmon of 721 Kohler
street, who is suspected of being the
leader of the gang that stole two ex-
pensive rugs from house at 725 Kohler
street and buried them in the front yard
of Salmon's home.
Roy Mullens of the Newport hotel at
Fourth and Los Angeles street, and Flet
Thomson of 724 Kohler street have al
ready been arrested and are held for
trial.
The arrests were made by Joe Sepul-
veda, constable in the sheriff's office. A
clever scheme for concealing the stolen
goods at first baffled the detectives, but
was finally discovered.
A hole was dug in the ground in front
of Salmon's house and from the bottom
of this hole tunnel was dug at right
angles. In this tunnel the two rugs,
valued at $50, were placed and the hole
covered with earth. Officers found the
hole and dug it out but failed to locate
the tunnel for some time.

in tennis, being one of the crack players
OF the south. He has some fine material
to work with this season, and with a lit
tie hard coaching should get out team
that will make fine showing.

has some good men left, among whom
are Ward Dawson, Allen Davis, Charles
Rogers and Miss Dorothy Hutton.

TAFT WILL CUT
OUT SOME CAPITALS
Secretary's Return to His Original
Plan of Journey Believed to
Be for international
Reasons
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-There are in
dications that Secretary Tafts decision
to return to his original plans and sail
from Manila for Vladivostok next Mon
day instead of the week following as he
suggested to the president, was after all
based on international considerations.
1t has been found impossible for an
official of his rank to visit one of the
European countries as the guest of the
sovereign without visiting the capitals of
other countries through which he must
pass on his homeward journey.
1t is believed here that decision of
the administration was reached that ac-
ceptance of invitations from these capi-
tails would be inexpedient, as 1t would
change Secretary Taft's plans.

Meeting of Directors Results in Two
New Officers Being Elected.
Schedule of Games for
Season

Scotty Allen has withdrawn from active
management of any of the clubs in the
Winter league. At a meeting of the
directors last night Allen transferred the
franchise he held for the Los Angeles club
to c. Franck, who will henceforth control
the destinies of the local nine.
Because Joy park, the leagues grounds
in this city, situated at Joy street and
Santa Fe avenue, will not be completed in
time, the opening games will not be played
tomorrow, but week later. The entire
schedule has been arranged, and three
games will be played each week both here
and in San Diego.
Manager Palmer has transferred one of
his franchises to Alex Reynolds, and the
latter was also made treasurer of the
league. Franck was made second vice
president at the same time. Following is
the schedule for the season:
