NEEDLE and THREAD
Sewing Lessons at Home.

One of the first practical lessons to
be taught the little girl at home should
be to make ARTICLES that are used in
the homework. Give her a pretty scrap
of cloth n show her how to feather
stitch it to several thicknesses for an
iron-holder; or teach her to make a
nice laundry bag out of some common
h~uckabuck toweling. The sewage
should be folded over once for a cord
or stick to be run through, and then
the sides blanket-stitched in a heavy
colored cotton cord. Any little girl can
make such a bag for her own soiled
clothes, and thus be taught sewing and
patience.

CITY GAS COMPANY MUST
NOTIFY OF DlSC0NNEcTI0N
Los Angeles Gas Company Secures
Injunction with Certain Provisions
Suitable to New Concern.
Notification Brief

Judge Houser granted an injunction
yesterday in the suit brought by the
Los Angeles Gas and Electric company
against the new City Gas company,
with certain provisions, the City Gas
company saying the provisions were
what they wished.
The Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company asked that the City Gas COM
pany be compelled to give q twenty
four hour notice before disconnecting
its meters, with a contract signed by
the consumer to show that the con-
sumner really wished to change COM
panies.
Officials of the City Gas company
claimed they had been giving the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company the
desired notice. This was denied by the
attorneys of the old gas company. Both
sides produced affidavits.
The injunction makes the necessary
time of notice one hour instead of
twenty-four, as asked for by the old
company. Neither does the court re-
quire that the location of tie meters
to be disconnected be given.

SIDESTEPS BLAME
ON STABLE PERMITS
BOARD OF HEALTH POINTS OUT
REMEDY
If Property Owners Object to Barns
They May Petition councilmen
to Enlarge Restricted
Zone

The health board means to fight shy
of any further controversies over sta-
BILE and similar permits by giving
abundant publicity to all permits which
may become neighborhood nuisances.
. Largely on the character or protests
arising over any and all permit appH-
cations the commissioners VIII pase
their votes for or against such per-
mits.
Yesterday the Edison Electric COM
pany, through A. L. Selig, asked the
board to grant permission to estap-
lish a stable for ten horses on the
west side of Cherry street, between
Pico and Sixteenth. Apparently the
petition had the necessary conserving
| signatures.
This location is outside of the stable
zone. hence unless this zone is enlarged
by ordinance the board has no lega
reason to refuse unless the question oil
public health enters.
Nevertheless the mayor and commits
sioners decided that they would hold
over action a week, so that II the resi-
dents exercise their right of petition
and ask the council on Monday to en-
large the stable zone so as to include
this section the situation would be al
tered.
In the meantime Secretary Hugh M.
Love was instructed to notify the Ed
ison people not to use unnecessary
haste in going ahead with the stable
plans.
The controversy over an old barn
on Warner street near Washington,
which the Los Angeles Ice and Cold
Storage company proposes to convert
into a stable with stalls for dozen
horses has been shifted to the board
of health.
For five months, 1t is declared, a
residence opposite the barn has been
vacant because of this menace, while
property near by is held at lower fig
ures than on adjacent streets, even
though Warner street has just been
improved. Now with the prospect of
horses being stabbed there the situation
becomes strained.
Dr. l.. M. Powers, health officer told
the board that under the health or
dinances the situation couid not be
reached easily. as the board has no
jurisdiction when stables are outside
of a prescribed zone. The council has
the power to enlarge this zone when
it wishes, after which control can be
exercised over stable permits. The
limit of the zone near this point is
Sixteenth street.

2-YEAR-0LD BOY SUES FOR
$4,000 FOR RIGHT ARM
Jury VIII Go In Special Car This
Morning to Place Where Lad Was
Crippled by Pacific Electric
Street Car

A damage suit of $4,000 against the
Pacific Electric Railroad company was
begun yesterday before jury in Judge
Monroe's court.
The suit is brought in the name of
Edgar Goldsworthy, a 2-year-old boy,
who is alleged to have lost his right
arm while playing on the tracks at
Ninth and Tennessee avenue June IL,
1903.
Before the trial commenced attor-
neys for the Pacific Electric company
requested that the jury be allowed to
visit the scene of the accident before
the end of the trial. Judge Monroe
ordered the members of the jury to
meet in the waiting room of the Pa
cific Electric building this morning
at O'Clock, where the Pacific Electric
company would have a special car to
convey the court and jury to the scene
| of the accident. The plan was heartily
Endorsed by attorneys for the COM
plainant.
