BOYCOTT
BHLBOARDS
so THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION
ADVISES
MRS. KANsT URGES BRINGING
SUIT
Says Los Angeles Is Billboard Metrop-
oils of Coast-Potato and Alfalfa
Raising Planned for the
Unemployed

II do not believe in the boycott. but
women back east refuse to trade with
merchants who advertise on those
monstrosities of billboards, and we
might well do the same in Los
Angeles"
So said Mrs. J. +. Kanst, chairman
of the billboard committee of the Civic
association Outdoor section), which
met in the committee room of the
chamber of commerce building yester-
day mornig in regular monthly ses-
sion. Mrs. Kanst's paper was the sem
sation of yesterdays meeting of the
civic association, the aim of which or
ganization is to beautify Los Angeles.
Judge BordwelPs recent decision
goes on to say that a man has the
right to use his own property SO long
as he does not interfere with the rights
OF others, which the billboard most
certainly does,' continued Mrs. Kanst.
Los Angeles is the billboard metrop-
oils. San Jose has none, Riverside has
none, Beaumont, a city of beauty If
nothing else, has none.
But here any of use is liable to
wake up any morning and without
previous notice in the papers of per-
mission being given the owners, find
huge three-decker billboards staring
us in the face, with pictures of prize
fights, or skirt dancers in almost prim-
tive costume. painted thereon.
All BiIIboards Are Listed
81 have every billboard In Los An
geles listed, and / keep track of those
who patronize them for advertising
purposes.
Let us not patronize merchants who

at the pocket, which is a more vulner-
able point in a man than his stomach.
l suggest the civic association bring
criminal suit against the billboard
man and the advertiser. using these
boards, for criminal action. Then the
owners of the property so disfigured
would learn that the cost of a suit is
greater than the few pennies of
tainted money received for rent"
Growing of potatoes on vacant lots
is being carried on through the Civic
associations chairman of the vacant
lot committee of the organization, Mrs.
N. E. Wilson of 1917 West Twenty
fifth street, Los Angeles.
II will furnish seed potatoes to those
who need them for planting in the va
cant lots and thus earn money to live
on during these hard times,' said Mrs.
Wilson, IF only the association and
it's friends will furnish me more po-
tatoes. Already we have many men
earning livelihood in that way, while
one woman and her children are to be
aided, out on Sunset boulevard, we
having the blowing done first and they
attending to the planting and cultivat-
ing. Just write me at my address, 1917
West Twenty-flfth, Los Angeles, about
needy cases."
Mrs. Cora Lewis, secretary of the
outdoor art section of the association,
spoke on the possibility of raising al
falfa on outlying lots, which could not
even support potatoes, but on which
the alfalfa would grow luxuriously,
and thus benefit the unemployed who
could pasture cows on the lots sown
with that grass. She asked the MEM
bers to either write Mrs. Wilson at the
above address or phone her. Sunset

FEDERAL MANAGED STORE
TO QUIT BUSINESS TODAY
Goods of Several Departments to Be
AuctIoned OF to the Highest
Bidder at Government
Building

Bidders from st. Louis, Chicago, San
Francisco and other points, as well as
local merchants, will be at the Tajo
building today to bid on the contents
of the Central department store, which
will be sold at auction in the federal
offices. Bids have been put in by al
most every merchant in Los Angeles
who carries stocks similar to those
of this department store, which has
been in jurisdiction of the United
States court and managed by receiv-
ers appointed by Federal Judge Olin
Wellborn, ever since 1t was declared
a bankrupt institution.
This federal managed store has been
a stumbling block to the Los Angeles
merchants who had to compete with
it. The establishment was carried
along the usual lines, to attract trade.
and it is said that local merchants are
now regretting that they did not pro-
test to Judge Wellborn at his COM
polling them to enter into competition
with it.
1t is said the majority of the goods
will be sold to the highest bidder to-
day, and that many of the Los An
geles dealers with small capital will
be able to obtain bargains thereby.

The small girl needs a dainty party
frock quite as much as her elder sis
ter, and 1t is necessary that the de-
sign should be quite in line with the
latest developments of fashion. The
little dress shown is not nearly as
elaborate as 1t appears to be, the
blouse being simply gathered to the
yoke at the neck and to the skirt at
the waist. The boleros give a pretty
and piquant effect to the whole, though
these may be omitted If desired. The
dress may be made in high or round
neck effect and with full length or
shorter sleeves, while any soft draping
material may be used for modelling.
For party wear, liberty silk. wolfe,
eolienne, point d'esprit or dotted swiss
would be pretty, with lace for garni-
ture; while for ordinary wear wool
fabric would be more suitable. with
braid or embroidery for trimming. For
the 10-year size 3R yards of material
SO inches wide are needed.
4320-S sizes, 6 to 10 years.

70 BEGIN OPERATIONS TO-DAY.


The News is pleased to be able to
make the announcement in its news
columns this morning that the Bruns-
wick Knitting Mill will begin active
operations this morning and that by
the end Of the week it win have quite a
large number of practical and exper-
fenced workers engaged in it's plant
on Bay street. There is no reason
why this enterprise should not be a
paying one. The output is bound TO
find ready market; in fact in ether
cities it is hard matter for such fac
tories to meet the demand for the fin
ished product. Mr.. Moody, the Iarg-
est stakeholder in the plant, is prac-
teal knitting mill man and if he will
take the advice of The News, he will
go ahead this time and operate the
business on sound, practical, sensi-
bic basis, without listening to every
suggestion made to him by people
who absolutely know not one thing
about the business. The factory ought
to prove to be a good dividend maker
and we believe it Will do that very
thing and extend to Manager Moody
our very best wishes.
