VICTIM OF RUNAWAY NOW
IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Mrs. Kennedy, Wife of Mayor Harper's
Secretary, More Dangerously In
jured at Glendale Than at
First Supposed

Mayors Secretary Herbert d. Ken
nedy was called home yesterday after
noon by the report from Glendale that
his wife's condition has taken turn
fol the worse.
Mrs. Kennedy and her sister were
thrown from their buggy near the Ver-
dugo hills last week because of the mad
dash of their frightened horse, Mrs.
Kennedy falling between the horse and
front wheels and seriously injuring her
self.
1t is feared peritonitis has developed
from internal injuries hitherto not sus-
pected. An operation may be necessary.
The runaway horse was returned by a
boy a few days afterward, it having
been picked up simultaneously with a
runaway polo pony from Pasadena.

FIRE FIGHTERS ASK
FOR HIGHER WAGES
GET LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
FROM COMMISSION
Los Angeles Uniformed Firemen
Think They Should Get as
Much Pay as San
Francisco's

Though firemen of Los Angeles have
started a movement to obtain increase
in pay, the fire commissioners are not
inclined to encourage the movement at
this time nor is the finance committee
of the city council favorable toward
any increases in wages for employees at
this season.
On June II last year a committee of
the fire department composed of j. b.
Powell, c. G. Anderson Frances A.
Alveras and Charles b. May drew up
a formal request and submitted a
schedule declared to be fair and just.
This provided for a scale of $140 a
month for captains, $130 a month for
engineers and $110 a month for lieuten-
ants. Drivers. tillernen, hosemen
truckmen and telephone operators We're
to get $50 a month for the first year,
$50 the second and 500 the third year.
1t was shelved.
The uniformed firenen declare that
they work twenty-four hours daily.
LAS you are well aware" they told
the mayor and commissioners then,
captains and engineers have not had
q raise in salaries for more than five
years. but have suffered a reduction
of Q per cent instead in compliance
with the state pension law, while the
cost of living has advanced more than
40 per cent
In repeating the petition yesterday,
signed by practically every member of
the department, the committeeman say
that their purpose is still fresh and
vigorous, as conditions have changed
for the worse, living and uniform ex-
penses soaring. During the interim the
fire fighters of San Francisco have
forged ahead of Los Angeles, crippled
though the northern city is.
The new San Francisco scale is $155
for captains, $140 for engineers. $142 so
for Iieutenants and $780, $110 and $120
for the first, second and third years
for tillermen, drivers, hosemen and
truckmen.

NO MASTER A HAIR NET.

1t is a great trick to put on hair
net. Next to managing a husband,
the management of hair net is most
intricate.
In the first place, hair net isn't
anything but an expanse of nothing
squared off with silky hair. When you
buy it you put it in your purse, and
when you look for it is not there. The
next time you buy one pin or sew it
to an anchor of some kind. To a
hair net there is one long side and one
round side. Take the center of the
long side and pin it into the back of
your neck, bringing the long ends to-
ward the front, crossing them over
your brow. There win be lot of net
flying up over your head, and if you
are able to catch it you are supposed
to pin it down with invisible pins,
after which you must attach to your
thought pinnacle pound or two of
inherited or acquired tress locks.

doctors agree in recommending vaseline
for this scarcity of sufficient eyebrow,

dueive to their growth. The brows
should be brushed several times a day,
and every night vaseline should be
applied to the roots with small brush.
Be very careful however, to get the
vaseline only where you wish the hair
to grow; it is a hair.growing applica.

not wanted. A delicate camel's hair

HISTORY OF THE BANK.
For eight years following its estab-
lishment, the firm of Bishop & Co. con.
tinued without change, when w. G. Raj
ston acquired the interest of Mr.. AL
drieh, the failure of Chas. w. Brooks
& Co., with which he was identified,
necessitating the latter's withdrawal.
Mr.. Ralston later became president of
the Bank of California; Bishop & Co. IS
San Francisco correspondents, at which
time Mr.. Bishop acquired his interest
and became the sole proprietor of the
business
On May l, 1875, partnership was
acquired by J. Fl, Patty, one of the
bank S Oldest employees, and in 1881
Samuel NJ. Damon, the present presi-
dent of the bank, was admitted as a
partner Eleven years later Mr.. Patty
withdrew and the business was carried
| on by the two remaining partners, Mr..
Bishop and Mr.. Damon, until 1895, at
which time Mr.. Damon succeeded to
Mr.. Bishops interests and became him
self the sole proprietor.
Within month the partnership of
Damon, Fisher and Waity was formed
to carry on the business, j. II. Fisher
and III. Il. Waity having been before that
connected with the bank as employees
Mr.. Fisher continued in active partner,
ship for five years and new partner
was admitted to the firm two wears
later, S. Edward Damon, son of S. NJ
Damon, becoming partner. retaining
his interests until the time of his death
in 1904. Mr.. Waity having withdrawn
n few months previously. This left Mr.
Damon again the sole proprietor, but
shortly afterwards the partnership OF
Damon, CARVE and Bottomley secured
the business, continuing until the death
of Mr.. CARVE last year The firm al
present consists of s. NJ. Damon and A
W. T. Bottomley.

BEWARE OF COSMETICS.

One always runs more or less of a
risk in using cosmetics bought at the
stores, but of all, there is more danger
in pink tinted cosmetics than in any
other kind. There are certain cos
metics which, when used on the cheeks
or lips, will not be harmful if the skin
is unbrohen, but if there is the slight.
est eruption on it, will act as a poison.
Rouges can be bought or made,
which, like other cosmetics, contain
absolutely nothing harmful, but there
are others which are harmful. Car
mine, after long continued use, turns
the skin dry and yellow.
There is a harmless rouge which can
be made from strawberries, and which
if treated right, will keep for a long
time. Beets ray be used in making
good rouges.
