HOUSEHOLD DIRTY LINEN
GIVEN A LITERAL AIRING

There was literal airing Of dirty
linen in the mayors office yesterday.
1t occurred in connection with the
meeting of the fire commission,
dozen residents of the section near
Forty-eighth and Mckinley streets
entering a protest against the opera
ton of a pottery in that neighborhood.
Sheets were brought up for the COM
missions inspection, which, their own
ers said, were white and clean When
hung out to dry, but had been black
ened by SCOT from the pottery. The
fire commissioners agreed with the
feminine owners of the sheets that the
linen was "a sight" and an investiga-
tion will be made with view TO
abating the trouble
The burning of rubbish was referred
back to the city council by the fire
commission with the recommendation
made by Chief Lips that the pres
ent ordinance be so amended as to pro
hibit rubbish fires within twenty-five
feet of any building.
The commission reinstated G. p. Bell
as hoseman, with the consent of the
civil service commission. Henry S.
Eichhorn, who has failed to report for
duty since November 6, was dis
missed from the fire department. He
disappeared on that date without leave,
and no word has been received from
him since. r. 70. Kierscey's resigna-
ton as a hoseman was accepted, and
r. II. Welts and Harry Hicks, the
highest on the eligible list, were APP
pointed hosemen.

VOTES AS UNIT
FOR CONTEST
GOOD ROADS BONDS PRINTING

Award Made to Highest Proposer Be-
cause Firm Agrees to Prevent LIti-
cation Over Former Deal
with Jeffrles

With unaninity that surprised many
who have followed the discussion and
action on the good roads bonds sale
and their printing by the board OF SUI
pervisors, the county body acted as one
man yesterday, voting solidly for the
acceptance of a proposition to award
the printing contract to E. II. Rollins
& Sons, the successful bidders Monday
for $1,050,000 OF the total issue or So
500 900.
The Rollins bid for furnishing the
bonds Is SITE, and one of the conditions
is that the firm shall deliver to the
board the previous contract with the
w. p. Jeffries company and thus pre-
vent further litigation.
A. w. Billiard, agent for the Rollins
concern, said he is in position to
do this, as he had had conversation
with w. p. Jeffries and is empowered
to return the contract, the completion
of which had been prevented tempo
rarily by a restraining order issued
by the superior court.
Four other bids were submitted, as
follows: Merchants Bank and Trust
company, $1,000; Security Bank Note
company of Philadelphia, $1475 and
$735, and the Wright Bank Note conn
pany, $1,000.
The promise to stop further litigation
by return of the Jeffries contract de-
cided the board in it's action to accept
the Rollins bid.
The bonds will bear date of February
1, 1909, and must be printed on or be-
fore March /.
A number of formal matters in con-
nection with the bond sale and the
printing was settled.

OCCIDENTAL FORMS
HELLENIC SOCIETY
Graduates and Students of Classical
Course Eligible to Membership in
Organization for Promoting
Greek Subjects

A Hellenic society at Occidental
college has been formed by the grad
yates and undergraduates, who nave
chosen what is known as a classical
course.
More than forty of the seventy pres
ent and former students, who are
eligible have joined as charter MEM
bers. The society is for the promotion
of interest in Greek art, literature, etc.
Four meetings are to be held annu-
ally at the college for the discussion
of important topics concerning Greek
literature.
Art and publication committees are
gathering material from the journals,
magazines and art books that will be
of interest. This material will be tab
ulated and presented at the meetings
of the society or printed in an annual
publication.
The society aims to become bureau
of information along these lines for
high school and other students and
lovers of culture; and the organiza-
ton seeks the cooperation of all the
art clubs in increasing the interest In
Greek art and ideals.
The work of the society will result
in inevitable benefit as the members
will be largely composed of students
who are graduates and some OF whom
are engaged in graduate courses along
similar lines. The Greek departemnt,
with the addition of outside specialists,
will assist.
A Greek museum, consisting of stat
ues, photographs, etc, is being formed
which will be increased according to
the demands. The society is planning
to give Greek dramas and choruses,
which will greatly augment IT'S work

everyone was glad yesterday to see the

According to the prophecy of A. B.
Wollaber, local forecaster, the weather
will be clearing today, although the
city may be visited by an occasional
light shower.
Los Angeles received more rain than
the surrounding sections" said Mr.
Wollaber, "the precipitation in the nat
ter varying from a slight precipitation
in the north to one-half to three-fourths
inches in the southern portion of the
state.
1.-THE pressure over the South Pacific
slope increased steadily Thursday and
the indications are for clearing weather.
1.-THE highest temperature recorded
Wednesday is So degrees and the lowest
90 degrees, comparing with maximum
of ga degrees and a minimum OF 52 de-

weather this time of year for Los An
geles, where it never gets real cold and
seldom gets uncomfortably warm.
1.-THE highest wind during the storm
was about twenty-three miles an hour,
which occurred at 10:45 o'clock Wednes-

Happily for Los Angeles and the sur
rounding districts, the velocity of wind
and the slight variations in tempera-
ture have little adverse effects on crops.
In this ideal climate the only question
which perpleXes ranch owners and deal
ers in grains, fruits and other crops is
the question of getting enough rain,
and so far this season the rain has
been supplied most bountifully.
The advantage of the rain to the
grain and hay crops, as well as to the
citrus crops of this section cannot be
estimated.
Bean raisers also were delighted to
see the rain, and the Hay Dealers as

"There seems to be 81 misapprehen-

may all at a side glance appear that
the members of 1.-THE Alaskan com.

a desire to separate John Cort from

for when one considers that there are
nearly twenty-five days before Christ

ASKS TRANSFERRING
OF FUNDS TO COUNTY
Keppel Notifies Municipal Educational
d. Body to Turn over All Deposits
Except Receipts for
High School

The city board of education received
a formal notice yesterday from Mark
Kennel, county superintendent OF
schools, which may mean suit pc
tween the board, as plaintiff, and the
city treasurer and auditor, defendants
Mr.. Keppers letter is supplemental TO
his former statement directing the
transfer of common school money TO
the county treasury from the CITY
treasurer.
"Since the attorney general of the
state, the district attorney OF Los An
geles and the city attorney have rem
dered contradictory opinions" Mr.. KEEP
pei writes, Il deem it advisable ia mod
ify my former notifications. The point
of disagreement between the attorney
general, the city attorney and the
county attorney is In regard 10 Iuh ,l
derived from the school tax, levied by
a city council. In regard to the proper
disposition of all other funds there ap-
pears to be no disagreement.
Therefore you are notified to deposit
in the county treasury to the credit or
the special fund of your district, or the
proper divisions of your district FUND,
all moneys collected by your board and
all on deposit in the city treasury, to
the credit of your board except such
funds as have been received from the
high school district tax"
Mr.. Keppel further requested the
board of education to bring suit in case
the transfer of money was opposed by
the city treasurer.
AS the city auditor is decidedly OPP
posed to any such transfer of the funds
involved, the breach which has existed
for some time between Auditor Mushet
and the board of education may widen
into fight in the courts.
At a secret meeting of the board OF
education recently the question of
authority to hire an attorney was con-
sidered in the event of a possible legal
tilt with City Auditor Mushet.

HOW | TOOK MY

Trouble, worry and i'll health brought

with deep lines and burrows in her

I therefore bought various brands of
cold cream and skin foods and mas
saged my face with most constant reg
ularity, hoping to regain my former
appearance. But the wrinkles simply
would not go. On the contrary they
seemed to get deeper. Next I went
