JUDGE AND ATTORNEY
ARGUE ABOUT PROCEEDINGS
Police Justice Informs Lawyer He Has
Jurisdiction in His Own Court
and Refuses to File
Complaints

'T believe 1 have Jurisdiction in my
own court" said Justice Rose to Guy
w. Eddy, assistant prosecuting attor-
ney, when the latter upbraided him for
refusing to permit the court clerk to
file two complaints in order that the
arrest of the men for whom the COM
plants were issued might be expedited.
Eddy intimated that it was the duty
of the magistrate to have the COM
plants filed when they were presented,
while the court replied that the calen-
dar was crowded and he would do as
he saw fit in the matter For a few
minutes the atmosphere of the court
room was charged with electricity.
The complaints were issued for the
arrest of Richard Roe and John Doe
newsboys charged with selling papers
containing tips on the races. Eddy
contended that if the complaints were
not filed on Saturday he would be
unable to have the boys arrested before
Monday.

DANGERS LURk IN
MOVING PICTURES
EYES WEAKENED BY WATCH

MANY SUFFER FROM DEFECTIVE

Strain of Watching Films Is Too Great
for School Children, Says Ply
sican - Adults Also
Affected

That there is lurking menace to the
tender eye of the child and the weak
ened sight of the adult in an over
Indulgence in the moving picture fad
is the opinion of several eminent ocu-
lists of Los Angeles.
The woman who makes a practice of
visiting most of the motion picture
shows on her weekly shopping tour, of
spending perhaps thirty minutes In
each place straining her eyes as the
thousand pictures flash one at a time
in quick succession before her is hasten
ing the defective eyesight that accom-
panies old age.
The delighted child that sits beside
her watching intently every detail OF
the marvellous men and women ana
fairies rubs his eyes when he is taken
out into the daylight and complains
that the pictures hurt" That child
will wear spectacles almost as soon as
he is in his teens.
The particular malady superinduced
by a too constant attendance at the
moving picture shows is termed by the
medical profession electric light blind
ness" 1t is similar to the temporary
blindness produced on some people by
looking steadily at a fluttering arc
light. It is not the brilliancy alone
that induces blindness but the flicker
ing quality of the light. 1t is the same
with motion pictures. The almost num-
berless successive images striking on
the retina of the eye in swift sequence
proves too great a strain to the deli
cate construction of the visual ap-
paratuS.
Describes Disease
When seen at his offices in the Aud
itorium DR.. True of True & Mummert, a
medical examiner for the schools of Los
Angeles and a we'll known oculist, said;
"T do not know that 1 can trace any
case of electric light blindness that
have treated lately to too constant
attendance at the moving picture
shows. but I certainly would not ad-
wise anyone who has weak eyes to
overdo it. This is particularly true OF
children. I examine the eyes of a
large number of school pupils every
year and find some startling defange-
ments. I am quite sure that watching
moving pictures doesn't do them any
good The best light for the eyes is a
steady yellow light. The white flicker
ing light of electricity is bad. NOV
ing picture show of long duration is
tiring to eyes of normal strength"

USED PHONE 70 sRINc THEM.
Ministers Successful Method Of Gath
erIne Congregation.

One Of the most difiicult proposi-
tions that a new pastor has to face,
when he takes charge Of church that
has fallen on in attendance and gen.
orally gone TO seed, is to fill the pews
and build up the membership anew.
Not long ago this problem was solved
in Brooklyn church. Before taking
hold the new pastor had planned a
scheme which he thought would work
moderately well, but which, in the end.
Tar exceeded his hopes in its results.
A few days before the eventful first
Sunday he called upon a dozen OF the
pillars Of the church" and asked
them each 70 call up on the telephone
early on Sunday morning half dozen
at least OF their friends, and not only
ask them especially to come to church
that morning, but also to telephone
the same request to as many OF their
own friends as they could. They all
promised to do so, and when the cler-
gymah reached his church that Sun
day he found It packed. He had pre-
pared a rousing sermon and every one
went away well satisfied.
This method OF getting congrega-
ton was continued along practically
the same lines for months. As a re-
suit of the drumming up" by tele-
phone the size of the congregation In
creased enormously and the member

OXYGEN USED TO CUT srEEL
Little Or No Finishing Required Amer
the Operation.

A stream OF oxygen is the knife that
cuts metals. The operation Is per-
formed by means Of blowpipe with
two nozzles, Of which the first delivers
an ignited jet OF mixed oxygen and
hydrogen, and the second Is a stream
of pure oxygen. The pressure Is reg
uAated by gauge attached TO the oxy-
srn tank. The oxygen hydrogen flame
and the stream OF oxygen strike the
same part Of the metal, which. after
being heated by the fame, is rapidly
cut, or rather burned through BY the
oxygen. the temperature being fnised
to 1900 or 1.400 degrees Fahrenheit
by the combustion OF the metal. The
cut is as smooth as sheared cSat and
requires little or no finishing. Armor
plates can be cut In one-twentieth the
time required for mechanical cutting;
and the sharply localized heating prob
ably causes less strain than punching
and shearing develop II oxygen costa
two cents and hydrogen twothirds Of
a cent per cubic foot, the cost OF cut
ting an iron plate four-fifths Of an inch
thick is about seven cents per running
foot, or about half the cost Of mechan'
ical cutting. Special machines ara
constructed for cutting various OBJ
jects. Finally there is a universal ma
chine which can be arranged to make
curved and polygonal cuts of any pat
tern in addition to the simpler cuts
effected Nv the other machines A
special form OF this universal machine
is exceedingly useful in taxing apart

express the opinion that the only
way we a secure statehood at
the coming session OF congress is
by the election OF an American

from a republican congress. II
