RECKLESS DRIVE
JACK LANKERSHIM BUMPS INTO
STREET CAR
Police Allow Automobile Driver to
Co on Learning He Is the Son
of the Wealthy Local
Capitalist

The conductor of Redondo Beach car
No. 1O1 narrowly escaped death last
night shortly before 1870 O'Clock when
big Stearns automobile, driven by
Jack Lankershim, son of Col J. b.
Lankcrshim. crashed into the rear end
of the street car, smashing the fender
and partly tearing off one of the steps
The car was standing still at Spring
and Second streets when the collision
occurred. and the conductor had just
finished placing the trolley in position
Had he delayed a second more he
would have been crushed between the
auto and the rear end of the car.
Lankershm was at the wheel, ac-
cordng to Harry Wright, the meChani-
clan, and another man in the car who
refused to give his name to the COnduc-
tor or to the patrolman, who dispersed
the crowd which quickly gathered. The
machine, according to some of those
who saw the collision, had rounded the
corner from Spring street at a terrific
rate. As the street car was standing
not more than forty feet west of
Spring street, and as the pavement was
wet, Lankershim was apparently un-
able to control his car, so fast was he
going.
w lcn Wright WAS dShtu lbl an GA
PLANTATION of the collision, he declared
that Lankershm "was just little
careless" The moment the auto struck
the car Lankershim shifted his seat
at the wheel and Wright was given
charge of the auto. Lankershim sat
hunched up, apparently obliViOus and
not caring in the least about the events
going on around him.
AS soon as Wright, in tone of
bravado, told the policeman that this
is Jack Lankershim's car, You know
who he is" the policeman walked
away with the statement "That's
all right"
Wright backed up the auto and
whirled away west on Second street at
terrific rate Of speed. endangering
the lives and limbs of pedestrians.
At Broadway the auto was halted
with n jerk in front Of a cafe near
Second. Twenty minutes or so after
stopping at the cafe, Lankershim and
his two friends started at break-neck
speed south on Broadway vending a
zigzag course until Third street was
reached. Here the machine was
brought to a sudden stop by the Wig
orous use of emergency brakes just
in time to prevent a second collision
with a car crossing Broadway

DESIGN SUBMITTED TO BOARD
OF PUBLIC WORKS
Street Signs in Keeping with Beauty
of Supports Also Planned, Sc

Later

Designs for the ornamental lamp
posts to be placed on Pico street from
Main to Vermont, were submitted to
the board of public works yesterday
by the Moyberg company. The de
signs are easily the handsOmest OF any
of the ornamental posts that have
been erected on the principal business
streets. The board did not make a
selection yesterday, but took the mat
ter under adviSemcnt.
1t is planned to carry the line OF
ornamental posts from Vermont TO the
western city limits on Pico and pc
tition to this effect is now being cir
culated. Each lamp will be tungsten
light and each post will have lights
of 400 candle power
The posts will also have ornamental
street signs. This idea originated
with S. c. Marshutz, who has been
active in the cause of the new lights.
If a certain design is accepted the
street signs will be painted on the top
globe, which is of keystone shape. If
the round globes are used the signs

HOTEL ROSSMORE MUST
CLEAN UP IMMEDIATELY

Mrs. Heidi who conducts the Hotel
Rossmore, 416 West Sixth street, was
before the board of health last night
to show cause why her permit to con-
duct a lodging house should not be re-
VOked.
Inspector West reported that the
Hotel Rossmore was dirty to the last
degree, and in the basement, which
was a filthy hole he found a man
dying of tuberculosis.
Mrs. Heidi explained that she had
taken the dying man in off the street
and given him lodging without a cent
Of rent, but the board did not consider
this sufficient explanation for the con-
dition of her premises. She was given
one week to get the man out of the
basement and clean up her place or her
permit will be revoked.

MUST NOT FEED GARBAGE
TO CATTLE GIVING MILK

In it's crusade for pure milk the board
of health last night suggested an
amendment to the milk ordinance that
probably may be adopted by the
council.
This amendment prohibits the feed
ing of garbage or any other refuse to
cattle from which milk is obtained to
be sold in Los Angeles. On account
Of the high price Of grain and hay
milk inspectors have found dairymen
using garbage for cattle food, but this
practice must be stopped.
The amendment also compels all
persons handling milk to keep it at a
temperature of not more than so de-
grees until it is delivered to the con-
sumer.

frequent washing is bad for the hair. The
result is that nearly everybody has more

has dandruff, and hundreds Of Others have
hair that is too oily, or TOO dry, or hair
that is faded and lifeless. The result of alt
these troubles is falling hair, and after that
