large fireworks firms in the United

about $12,000,000. In our plant
alone, and in the conduct of our
business just before the Fourth, we
will be employing about 10000 per-

works manufacturers. This is be-
cause their officials and citizens do
not understand the details of the
problem of protecting celebrators
on the Fourth of July.
Many cities, such as Cleveland,
are passing drastic laws that pre-
vent much pleasure that might be
safely enjoyed by children and
their elders. These cities have gone
too far. They allow no fireworks.
This Is the gist of law would
propose for sane Fourth:
There should be no giant crack
ers. Large torpedoes should not
be allowed. Pistols, revolvers and
cap pistols should be prohibited
from use.
You will notice, in this list, that
the prohibited articles are those
which 1t requires concussion to ex-
plode-that is, with the exception
of the cannon cracker.
If you will draw line between
fireworks that are exploded by fire
and so-called fireworks" that are
exploded by conclusion; II you will
then add to the latter list the dan
gerous cannon cracker, which is
made Of tough, hard paper; il you
will then prohibit the use of this
latter list, you will have a sane
Fourth of July.
l should add that the unrestrict-
ed sale of loose powder should be
prevented.
AS the cities are going now they
are stopping all fireworks. 1t is a
fine thing to have a great display
for all citizens, on the evening of
the Fourth, but any citizen who
desires to have private Fourth Of
July evening party ought to be al.
lowed to do so. Yet some cities,

Vicinity Of Seaport
BouIevards

Patton & Longley, who are handling
Moneta Avenue square, report that the
sales of the past week have been nu-
merous and that inquiries increased.
This is especially due to the fact that
there are $50 bungalows and cottages
now being built in that vicinity.
The demand for this property is
strengthened by the fact that Figueroa
street bounds the property on one side
and Main street boulevard on the 9TH
er, while Moneta avenue runs direct
ly through the center of 1t. These
three boulevards are to be macadam-
lied from Los Angeles to San Pedro,
and it is known by those best ac-
quainted with the building of these
thoroughfares that six miles of the
work on Main street boulevard has
been completed and is now ready for
cement. Newcomers as we'll as local
residents have become aware of this
fact and realize what it means to see
a harbor and a great city connected
and the prospective values of the
thoroughfares connecting the two.

Wireless Telephone Inventor Returns
East, After Two Weeks in Los
Angeles-ls Awarded Gold
Medal at Seattle

A. Frederick Collins, the wireless
wizard and inventor of the wireless
telephone, has left Los Angeles for
the east after a sojourn of nearly two
weeks in this city, where he demon
strated to the satisfaction of the most
skeptical the commercial possibilities
and success of his invention.
81 came down to Los Angeles from
the exposition at Seattle, where our
company was awarded the gold medal
for wireless telephony, in company
with several of our officers and direct
ors for the two-fold purpose of giving
a demonstration of our electric wave
instrument and at the same time to
carefully look over the ground to de-
termine the best location for the estab-
lishment of the long distance wireless
telephone stations which have been
planned by the Collins company and
which will be operated by the Pacific
Coast company, which will be the oper-
ating company on the Pacific coast"
said Mr. Collins yesterday. This
company will be subsidiary to the
parent company. 1 am thoroughly
satisfied with the observations and
with the results attained and am leav-
ing now to attend to some important
matters in the east, but will return to
the coast within the next ninety days,
at which time we expect to be in po-
sition to begin vigorous work here.
The demonstrations made with the os-
cillation electric wave telephone in
this city were most satisfactory; con-
versation and the playing of musical
instruments being distinctly heard in
several sections of the city from our
laboratory in the Citizens National
bank building.
Los Angeles as Headquarters
"Los Angeles is certainly a grand
city and her business men are not
only progressive and energetic, but
are alive to the necessities as well as
to the possibilities of the future, and l
am more than pleased that our people
have selected this most beautiful and
rapidly developing section of California
as the headquarters of our company
on the Pacific coast"
William A. Mears, the agent for
the company for the Pacific coast,
pany has been applied for and that
this company would be the operating
company for the Pacific coast and
would be subsidiary to the parent
company. He also says there We're
certain developments expected in the
affairs of the company in the near
future. which, while he was not in u
position at the present moment to
discuss in detail were of such ma
ture that when they materialized
they would greatly advance the pres
ent field of use of wireless communi-
cation and be a source of great salts
faction to all those interested in Wire
less telephony.
