Not only is Washington's birthday
commemorated by the annual banquet
of the chamber of commerce to be
held that evening at Levy's cafe, but
the Inauguration of a new feature in
the work of that organization is also
marked by this occasion.
"Both the incoming and outgoing Of

make a transfer of offices on that
evening"" explained Frank G. Virgins.
secretary of the chamber of commerce.
Short addresses will be made by Will
liam D. Stephens and by George FL.
Stuart. his successor in the office of
president. This is a new thing entire
ly for the chamber and marks the
adoption of an entirely different sys-
tenn.
"The tickets to the banquet are sold
almost to the limit-for only a certain
number can attend owing to lack OF
room. And members Of the chamber
of commerce who have not yet sent In
their applications for tickets should
do so at once.
"Those members of the chamber OF
commerce who are still waiting to de-
eide whether they will take advantage
of the Imperial valley excursion to
be sent out under the auspices of the
chamber on February 27 must make up
their minds quickly, as the sale or
tickets closes soon, since the number
is limited.
."I hope those inland empire excur-
sionists will not forget that the cham
ber of commerce has two excursions
for them-one leaving Los Angeles
Monday for Pasadena and the other
leaving here Tuesday over the balloon

a well to do farmer of the Virden dis-
trict, and a brother of r. H. Porteous,
who lives at 1929 West TWenty-first
street, Los Angeles.
The estate has been in chancery for
some time and has finally been set

to 1,185,000, and young Porteous, the
Los Angeles man, will receive his
share of 1t, amounting to many thou
sands of dollars.
His mother, Mrs. c. F. Porteous, of
Los Angeles, together with his two
brothers, A. L. Porteous of Long
Beach and H. w. Porteous of Los
Angeles, will also come in for their
share of this fortune.
Thus Bert" Porteous, as he is
Familiarity known, will be a chou
sandaire" and will have a comfortable
little sum laid away in due time.
The Los Angeles branch of the Por-
teous family are close relatives of the
deceased.

Bert" Porteous is now DR.. Porte
GUS, having passed the Canadian med
ical> examinations successfully.

ing players of the association game.

of the college league in Canada in 1905.
He was champion halfback of Canada
in 1905 and 1906. In addition to this he

Virden champions of Manitoba in the
western division, besides doing great
work for the Portage la Prairie cham

SUPERINTENDENT MOORE CITES
HISTORIC FATALITIES
Schools Need Much "ozonc"--Mexza-
nine Floor Which Kills Animals
May Prove Dangerous
In City Jail

Better ventilation for the public
schools of Los Angeles is a subject in
which City Superintendent of Schools
e. C. Moore is greatly interested.
Il am glad to say that Los Angeles
is growing better In this respect than
formerly" said Superintendent Moore
yesterday. But still there is room for
improvement. 1t is all essential that
the school children have plenty of fresh
air &c breathe.
Nov in England and her colonies
they pay particular attention to this
phase of educational buildings. Fresh
air receives the attention which it de-
serves. wish to call your attention 90
some of the articles in one of the lead
ing educational publications published
at Melbourne, Australia
This publication, entitled THE Edu-
cation Gazette and Teachers Aid" con-
tanned an article by W. Ramsay Smith
on "Air and Health" in which is cited
a striking parallel to the proposed
'mezzanine floor of the Los Angeles
city jail, concerning which so much
protest has been made.
After speaking of the rapidly de-
structive effects of bad air, and citing
the two famous incidents of sHThe Black
Hole of Calcutta" where British SOL
diers died by the score in one night
from close confinement and another
notorious case of the steamer London
derry, where over seventy passengers
died during a storm when the cabin
entrance was covered by a tarpauIin,
the writer continues:
How Monkeys Suffered
'At a time when the monkey cages
in the London geological gardens were
arranged in two tiers it was found that
the inmates the 1o
fered greatly from consumption. When
the cages were all put on a level the
trouble ceased. The Inhabitants of the
upper series had to breathe the air
that had been contaminated by those in
the lower cages.
when cattle are huddled together In
badly ventilated places. 1t is usually
only animals, kept in close confinement,
that become tubercular.
''The necessity for pure air as con-
dition essential to good health was fully
recognized by those races that held
beauty and strength of body In the
highest estimation.
'The Romans paid more attention 70
the value of pure air in training their
race horses and gamecocks than we do
in the training of our students and
teachers. For their athletic schools
they chose Capua and Ravenna as be-
ing the healthiest places in Italy"
The proposed change to be made in
the city jail, already notorious for it's
overcrowded condition, which includes
the erection of a mezzanine floor in that
small structure so that prisoners may
be slowed away in two tiers, is an
exact parallel to the instance mem
toned by the English authority re-
ferred to by Superintendent Moore.
Bad enough at present, the air VIII
be fatal, 1t is thought, for those on
the second tier in the Jail.
The dark lesson Of history in the case
of the "Black Hole of Calcutta" may
be repeated in the Los Angeles city jail
If the new plan proposed is carried
through by the authorities who hold
the lives OF prisoners In their hands.

Mrs. Miller. Mr.. Wood. George J. Lang
and the chauffeur.
After leaving Los Angeles all went
well with the party until after they
had passed Monrovia. 1t was then no.
ticed that one of the tires on Hits
car was fiat and the party stopped to
repair it. Dwyer drove his car some
distance ahead and then stopped. The
occupants of the car alighted and re-
turned to render aid to their COM
panions. Mr.. Dwyer neglected to turn
off the power.
After viewing Mr.. Hits car, Dwyer
told the others of the party he was
going forward to see if his machine
was all right. A moment later his
friends heard him shouting that the
car was on fire. They rushed forward
in time to see Mr.. Dwyer throw a
handful of sand on the blazing hood
and then jump back. A. second later
the explosion occurred and when the
party reached the scene the car was
a wreck.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dwyer and their
friends entered Mr.. Hits car and fin
ished the journey to Riverside. The
chauffeur was left to watch the
wrecked car and what remains of 1t
