In a decision on the state prOhibi-
ton law, the Court of Appeals last
week applied the law of common sense
when it held that the object of the
act was to destroy the traffic in in
toxicating liquors as a beverage and
not to harass manufacturers whose
finished product is not unlawful. The
decision, if affirmed by the Supreme
Court, will also aid the druggists in
enabling them to handle larger line
of toilet preparations than it was
thought lawful at first.

Petty Arguments

(Thomasville Times Enterprise
Now they are trying to prove that
Joe Brown is against prohibition. They
seem to think that if Joe Brown is
elected Governor that he could do
anything with the state that should
enter his mind, without regard to
the legislature or the people. 1t
only weakens the side of Hoke Smith
to have such petty arguments adj
vanced by his constituency.

at the residence of DR.. Floyd J. Nut
ting, 319 Madeleine drive, when Mrs. F.
F. Stare, a guest, lost between $1,000
and $4,000 worth of jewelry.
The jewels, which included valuable
rings, a stickpin and necklace, were
enclosed in small bag. which was ac-
cidentally dropped into a closet bowl
and flushed out into the sewer sys-

Men from Munger & Munger's plumb

plumbing did not reveal the missing ar
ticles. Plumbing Inspector Shaver was
then called upon for detailed informa-
ton as to the lead of the sewer pipes,
and search was made in the four-inch
connection with the main sewer line,
while preparations were made to send
a messenger three miles to the sewer
farm with word to put on fine screens
and watch the outlets of the main
sewer.
Before this could be done, however, a
man stationed at the first manhole
caught the bag of jewels as it was
flushed downward into the main sewer.
The recovery is due to the fact that
the connecting pipe was long one.

VENICE, May 21.-Citizens of the
Venice end of the Ocean Park munich
pality, intent on establishing a Venice
high school at this end of the beach,
have their eyes on the present city hall
building at Toxic as a promising build
ing. The city officials elected last
month have about determined to aban-
don the structure for city hall pur-
poses on account of it's inaccessibility
as soon as the necessary steps can be
taken and an adequate substitute pro-
vided. This being the case the school
directors see no reason why it should
not be used for school purposes.
]. G. French, president of the school
board, is heartily in favor of the high
school project and has expressed him
self as favoring the use of the build
ing.
Little difficulty is anticipated in Sc
curing the necessary consent of the
donors of city hall site, as David
Evans, staunch supporter of the new
administration, is one of the principal
men interested.

position of principal of the Ocean Park

ties of principal of the Mckinley school

GIRL OF EIGHTEEN WILL
HANDLE LABOR CONTRACT
Despite Past Difficulties Between
White Men and Japanese, Miss
Mary Lippen Undertakes Task
of Providing Help
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
HOLTVILLE, May 21.-Miss Mary
Lippen, aged Is, of Los Angeles is
probably the only labor contractor OF
her age in california and of her sex
In the west. She has just taken a
contract from her father to supply Ia
borers for his big cantaloupe ranch on
the Silliman property, three miles east
of Holtville, In the Imperial valley
and guarantees him that his crop will
be handled by a full force of men
until the last box is sent to the packing
house. = Besides a stipulated sum OF
money for the successful fulfillment OF
her contract Miss Lippen is to receive
as bonus, IL she succeeds, trip east
this fall.
Insuring laborers to handle a canta-
loupe crop is not as simple a matter
as it may sound. The Imperial valley
is warm in the cantaloupe season, in
fact quite warm. The season lasts
about six to nine weeks, in June and
July, when the temperature is exceed
ingly likely to be above 100 and exceed
ingly unlikely to be much below. In
addition to this fact there have been
in the two last years, and promise to
be this year, differences between the
growers and laborers as to wages and
hours. Last year the demands of the
white laborers in certain portions of the
valley were turned down by the grow
ers, who imported a number of jap
anese and succeeded in getting the
fruit into the sheds at less expense
than would have been the case with
white labor. This year the same trou-
BILE may be experienced. In several
places the white men have organized
and fixed a schedule of wages at which
they intend to work. They say that
this scale will be enforced. No serious
trouble is anticipated, but there is some
anxiety felt for fear picking may be de-
layed to a date when 1t would be very
costly. Cantaolupes must be picked
when they are ready, and not two
hours later So the laboring men are
in a position to make trouble.
Miss Lippen is aware of these condi-
tions, but says she can handle the stu
alton. The acreage under the Lippen
and Skillman leases which she under
takes to handle is one of the best pieces
of cantaloupe ground in the valley and
the crop this year promises to break
all records both in point of early mar
keting and in crates produced. She will
employ only white pickers, IL her pres.
ent plans carry, and is already making
her arrangements. 1t is probable that
the Lippen and Skillman places will be
ready for the pickers in sixteen days.
Miss Lippen's father was formerly a
prominent druggist in Garvanza and
she herself was a student in the Los
Angeles high school up to the time of
her removal to the valley.

LIGHTING SYSTEM TO

PASADENA TO GET NEW ELEC'
TRIO LAMPS
Incandescent Zone viii Embrace a
Large Area, but Arc Scheme VIII
Be Used in the Outlying
Districts

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, May 21.-Within short
time, as soon as additional supplies
arrive and are assorted, Manager c.
w. Koiner expects to put a force of
men to work altering and completing
the municipal street lighting system of
Pasadena.
Today publicity was given, for the
first time, to the general scheme of
changes which it is proposed to make,
they having been outlined on a map
which is in possession of Mayor Farley.
All the carbon filament 32-candle
power incandescent lights in the south
east and northeast sections of the city,
as far out as Lake avenue, are to be
removed and used for renewing lamps
on circuit covering downtown rear
streets and alleys, and in their place
40-candle power TUNGSTEN lamps are
to be used. The new incandescent zone
will extend between Lake and Marengo
avenues and Mountain and California
streets, and about seventy arc lights
will be removed from that section.
There will be about 575 of the tangesten
lamps installed, with an additional ca
pacity of about 125, so that the zone
can be extended in the future.
The arc lights removed will be used
in the northwest section and in outside
districts, and in exceptional cases one
or two TUNGSTEN lamps, 1000 of which
have been ordered, will be placed here
and there in the outside circuits. Arc
lights are to be used in outside sparse
ly settled districts and along the wide
main streets, including Orange Grove
avenue, Colorado street, Fair Oaks
avenue, Raymond avenue and a few
others.
All the property owners who have
examined the system now laid out
haye expressed satisfaction with it.
