RIDE IN NEW AUTOMOBILES
AS GUESTS OF CAR AGENTS
Since Supply Committee Is Looking
for New Machine for Health De-
partment, Invitations Are
Numerous

Now that Health officer L. M. Pow
ers is Sin the market" for new auto
mobile, both he and Chairman Walter
Wren of the supply committee of the
city council are overrun with invita-
tions to take trial spins in various
makes of cars.
Two years ago the city bought a
$1,000 runabout for the health depart
ment and it has had hard and con-
tinuous usage. Its repair bills for re-
cent months have become so large,
however that they staggered the sup
ply committee and it was decided that
it was better to buy a new machine
than to practically remake the old one
every few months.
Some of the inspectors in the health
department use horses and huggies and
some motorcycles. but the health Of
ficers have found an automobile the
fastest and most convenient, and it is
likely that before the month is out a
new machine will bear the initials

story, and a fact that will puzzle many
persons for some time to come. When
the negative was developed there APP
peared a perfect likeness OF a woman's
face, which, according to the mother
and father and some twenty intimate
friends Of deceased. is a perfect like
ness of the deceased woman.
The face may easily be seen indi-
Gated by the arrow near the monu-
ment close to the base.
AS a background to the face there is
the long, black overcoat worn by Sex
ton Schulman, who is standing near
Mr.. Harris.
The men were looking toward the
west at the time the kodak was snap
ped, as their attention had been drawn
to a party which was approaching.
Think Face Is Girls
A Herald reporter interviewed Mr..
and Mrs. Harris upon two occasions
and was greatly impressed by their
sincerity. They cannot help believe
but by some occult power the face of
their daughter appeared and was pho
tographed.
A Los Angeles publication, comment
ing upon the strange occurrence, said
1t was a reflection from a face as
monument.
1t so happens the monument is not
polished, but is finished in the rough,
so that theory is exploded.
Mrs. Harris says her daughter told
her she would appear to her after
death if she died away from her par
ents and would tell her why some peo-
Pile on this earth have to bear so much
pain and trouble, while others lead
happy, healthy lives. The mother be-
lieves the daughter has kept her word
to her.
When Mr.. Harris saw the likeness in
the picture he said he did not know
how to account for the bandage which
seems to show on the forehead of the
figure. Upon inquiry it was learned
the women that laid the deceased out
bound a white handkerchief around her
forehead.
If any one can explain the face of
their daughter appearing in the picture
taken of her grave, If not in keeping
with the promise OF deceased to ap-
pear to them, Mr.. and Mrs Harris
would be greatly obliged for the in
formation.

hROBABLY one of the most pecu-
liar pictures ever taken by CAM
"A era or kodak was that from which
the cut accompanying this article was
made
The Herald prints the story and let's
its readers theorize upon it to suit
themselves:
Mrs. Jeanette Harris Phillips,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
Harris, died in a hospital in this city
about January /, 1908. after having
been in a state of coma for five days
and nights.
The coma was the last stage of an
epileptic condition from which the de-
ceased, who was "a years of age, had
suffered for the greater part of her
life.
Death was a merciful deliverer, in
stead of a dreaded enemy in her case.
At the time of the death of their
daughter Mr.. and Mrs. Harris were in
ST. Louis, Mo-, where they resided Mr..
Harris is the owner of the Enterprise
brass factory of st. Louis and man
of means.
When a wire reached the parents
telling them of the critical condition
of their dearly beloved daughter the
father wired money here to be used in
securing the best medical and hospital
service possible, as 1t would have been
impossible for them to have arrived in
time to have seen their daughter be-
fore she died.
There was other illness at home also,
which was another reason they could
not we'll leave at that time.
Parents Visit Grave
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris came here in
February to see the grave of their
daughter was properly cared for. They
ordered a monument and did every
thing they could to properly show their
respect to their departed daughter
A short time ago the monument was
completed and was placed, after which
arrangements We're made to have a
meeting at the grave. Sexton Schulz
man of the Beth Israel cemetery was
on hand to offer up prayer for the de-
parted, and while waiting for the re-
mafnder of the invited relatives and
friends to appear Mrs. Harris set her
kodak in position to take a picture OF
the grave. She snapped the kodak and
secured her picture, showing the drap-
ery still around the monument.

DETECTIVES PREPARE
FOR BUSY TIME
EASTERN OFFICERS ON DUTY
HERE
Well Known Crooks, Card Sharps and
Bunko Men Are in the City to
Rob Visitors During
Fleet Week

For more than ten days Chief of Po-
lice Edward Kern, with the assistance
of a number of detectives from other
cities, has been ridding Los Angeles of
undesirable residents who had fore
gathered in the City of Angels for the
purpose of taking advantage of the
unwary during fleet week."
AS is usual at the time of all big
celebrations in any city, bunko men,
pickpockets, card sharps, burglars and
sneak thieves gather in that city or
dinarily in advance of the celebration
to. take advantage of the opportunity
to ply their callings
Three weeks ago this class of gentry
began gathering in Los Angeles and
Chief Kern asked for and received the
assistance of detectives from New
York, Chicago, Butralo, Philadelphia,
washington, Salt Lake, Denver and
other eastern cities in spotting these
criminals.
In a score of instances some of the
best known men in America in GRIM
inal lines have been picked up and
after being photographed and their rec
ords taken sent out of town.
Especial attention has been paid to
running down and arresting profess
sional card sharps and crooked game
sters For this purpose the services of
the Salt Lake and Denver officers have
been particularly useful for the reason
that nearly all crooked gamblers in
this section come from those cities.
Town Well combed
But little attention has been drawn
to this process of combing the town
for suspected and known criminals,
both big and little, for the reason that
the police did not think it desirable to
make public the fact of what they
were doing.
While all preparations to police the
town during fleet week have not been
made and no fixed program for so do
ing has been settled upon, it has been
decided that Capt. Bradish and the
men of the University district will be
given charge of the Agricultural park
section and of all the games, sports
and entertainments to be pulled off in
that section for the entertainment of
the sailors and visitors.
Special details of policemen will be
made from the central division for the
care of the crowds at the Chutes and
at the barbecue and sports to be held
there.
Thorough and painstaking arrange
ment will also be made for patrolline
the town and keeping the sidewalks
and streets clear and safe in the vicin-
ity of the big hotels. public halls and
theaters, where entertainments and
banquets will be held.
Requests were received yesterday by
Chief Kern from the chiefs of police
of San Diego, Santa Barbara and San
Francisco for the use of number OF
detectives during the visit of the fleet
to those cities, and it is probable that
several Of the fly squad will be de-

The Forty Days of Enforced Quiet
Dieting Come at the Most OPP

Most people look upon the season OF
Lent with it's forty days of self-dls-

other, and eating only fish, perhaps, as
something in the nature of necessary
evil. They often complain about the
diet thus enforced.
But according to DR.. H. G. Marx

inent physicians and surgeans of Los
Angeles, Lent is a health measure.

dispensation with it's numerous rules
had an eye to the physical as well as
the spiritual welfare of the people pro-
tected by that CODE" said DR.. Marx
miller.
Take the forty days in spring with
it's light eating so recommended. which
we call Lent, and which is based on
that old Jewish law
"Why, nothing could be more sani-
tary than that. When man pledges
himself from a sense of religious obli-
cation. not to eat anything but the
lightest of foods, fruits, fish and vege-
tables for forty days in the spring, he
is helping his bodily self.
People Abuse the Stomach

tamp into them is a great burden for
these faithful servants of the body.
Then spring comes. And we continue
to eat the same as we did in the long

work as before.
