ASKS THAT MERCHANT
LICENSES BE REVIVED

SANTA MONICA, Sept. 2O.-The
finance committee presented a recon-
mendation at the meeting of the city
council this evening that the mer-
chants licenses, which were abolished
some months ago. be revived, giving
as a reason the low condition of the
city treasury.
The licenses are very unpopular, and
it is asserted a strong fight will be
made to prevent their re-establishment.
There was no mention made of re-
strictions tending to keep automobiles
from the new concrete pier at Colo
RADIO avenue, although the city officials
are barring them from the structure,
and action was confidently expected.

CLOWN IN DIXIE"

"Down in Dixie" a drama in
four acts, will be presented at the
Benton Seminary this evening.
"Down in Dixie" is a war play, in
which the subject is treated in a
fair, unprecedented manner. The
hero is from the North, the heroin
from the South, and both are good
types of true-hearted Americans.
A Southern villain and a North
ern scoundrel each figure promi-
nently in the story, and the latter
is much the worse of the two.
The action in this play is rapid,
the climaxes are powerful, that OF
the third act being one of the
strongest ever written, and the
characters are drawn with fervent
imagination and stress of mind.
The drama is given by Camden
Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, and is for the benefit
of the monument fund. The cast
is composed entirely of home tai !.
ent, all feeling that they are con-
tributing Of their time to a noble
cause, and crowded house should
greet them tonight.
