DECIDES THAT PERMITS
TO ALIENS MUST ISSUE
City Attorney Hewitt Completes His
Answer to Question Put by the
Police Commission

City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt fin
ished yesterday an opinion for the
board of police commissioners in which
he holds the board has no right to re-
fuse generally to grant business per-
mits to aliens. The opinion will be
submitted to the police board at it's
regular session Monday night
The police commissioners desired the
right to refuse poolroom and perhaps
liduor licenses to Japanese, but before
taking such drastic step decided to
consult the city attorney. After ex-
haustive research Attorney Hewitt de-
cided the board has no right TO legis-
late against aliens in other than cases
in which the right to sell liquor was
involved. 1t was found that several
states have laws prohibiting the sale
of liquors by other than American cit
liens, but no laws were found to pro-
hibit aliens from engaging in any other
lines of business.
1t is the opinion of Attorney Hewitt
that an ordinance passed by the city
council would be effective in preventing
Japanese or other foreigners from con-

POWERFUL BATTERY TO BE
EXHIBITED IN LOS ANGELES
Julius Krohn StartIes Electrical World
by Demonstration of Primary Cell.
Initial Showing Unsuccessful

After careful revision of the me-
chanical workings of his battery, Ju-
Illus ]. Krohn, who has startled the
electrical world by inventing an enor-
mously powerful primary CELL will
make a second public exhibition
Wednesday afternoon, September 15, of
250 cells combined into a single bat
terry. The battery is fitted with a pat
ent percolating apparatus in order that
the cells may be kept running for some
time without recharging them. At an
exhibition given a few weeks ago, al
though 100 amperes and 13O volts were
obtained, the current shorted owing to
the failure of the percolating appa-
ratus to operate.
The centrifugal pump has been rear
ranged and many other changes made
in the mechanical end of the machine
and it is believed that an enormous
amperage and voltage will be readily
obtained. Even though the percolat-
ing apparatus should prove an absolute
failure, the solution which Krohn has
discovered possesses immense advan-
tages over the ordinary manner of Gre
ating electricity.

those under IL years was easily cap
tured by Charles Horton from field
of eight starters.
Ten girls under 12 years started in
the girls seventy-flve yard dash.
which proved close and exciting race,
first honors being awarded to Bessie
Clark.
Three women entered the married
women's race, no age limit having
been placed on the entries. Mrs. Jen-
ME Won Julay showed surprising abil-
ity. and tore into the homestretch like
a real Longboat, distancing both of her
competitors.
Frank C. Newcombe, who is nearing
the three score and ten year mark,
captured the sprint for men over so
years old, much to the chagrin of Pres
ident Haley and the other entries for
Mr.. Newcombe was the oldest man to
compete. He had a long, sturdy stride
and won the race in canter.
Best Race of Day
The next event was for boys and
girls under IL years old, and fifteen en-
tries faced the starting mark This
race was the best of the day, and was
won by Harold Cady, with Miss Bes-
sic Clark a close second, after the first
trial had been declared,a tie race.
For real mirth the fat women's race
took first honors, there being four en-
tries, although one of the women was
busy talking and did not hear the
starters words and refused to COM
pete, as the others had such good
lead. This race was won by Mrs. Won
Julay, who had previously won first
place in the married women's contest.
A match race was arranged between
Mrs. Won Julay and President Haley.
1t afforded great merriment and was
declared a tie, although it was openly
charged that Mrs Won Julay did not
put forth her best efforts and allowed
President Haley to get on even terms.
The pie eating contest was entered
by every boy on the grounds and the
supply of pies giving out, it was finally
decided not to select winner
The party remained in the park
until the shades of night began to fall.
All departed, expressing themselves as
having had an excellent time, and adj
mitting that for picnic purposes South
ern California was 'some" better than
even New York state.

GOOD TASTE
THE BEST GIFT A WOMAN CAN
POSSESS.

TOOD tasto is perhaps the most pre-
cious gift woman can possess It
viii take the place of money in many
'srances. 1t will mean happiness to
ler in many more.
Who has not seen tho rich woman
'verdressed and overloaded with Jew
Try who in spite of her money made n
iad appearance, whilo her friend in
modest circumstances won universal
raise on account of her becoming
uitable costume, which cost nothing at
II compared with the elaborate one of
he rich woman?
The right thing at the right time"
'hould be the motto of every clever
woman who wants to succeed. This
rot only relates to clothes, but also to
manners and actions. 1t is practically
he entire secret of success.
The woman of good taste will not
'verdress In the morning or on the
treet. She will not wear loud colors,
'nlse and screaming jewelry, etc. She
I'll always be quietly and suitably
lothed. This does not mean that she
WI not wear splendid things at times
her social position warrants It and
~ occasion demands 1t. To be under
lressed is almost as bad as the other
'Xtreme.
The woman of good taste will not
lpe splendors she cannot afford in her
lome and give scant hospitality to her
friends. She will not have an elaborate
centerpiece and solled tablecloth.
Imitation mahogany and near oriental
arpets will be strangers to her. She
will prefer comfortable chairs to those
meant for show.
The woman with good taste will
show II in her manners toward people
in the way she acts and what she
tloes.
She will know just the right degree
10 maintain between intimacy and for
mality, whom to encourage, whom to
hold at distance and how to say the
right thing at the right moment
OF course we cannot all be born with
good taste, but we can always culti-
vate II by watching the people who
have It and by learning from them.
Nothing rewards the effort in as
great degree.
