SAY, Mr.. ANGELENO,
. H0W'S YOUR GATE?
Small Boy Becomes Boon Com
panion of Elves and Witches.
Why? Halloween

If YOU awaken this morning minus
a gate; if there is a Chinese wash
house sign adjoining your peaceful
home; if q hideous, grinning pumpkin
colored goblin reposes on your lawn;
if a mangled suit of clothing bestrews
the car tracks beyond your aforesaid
gateless dwelling-DON'T WORRY
for last night was Halloween. There
were witches and elves and hobgob-
Inns flying about, to say nothing of
the ubiquitous small boy.
The small boy had a great time last
night. Many a motorman's heart rose
to his throat as he suddenly deserted
in the path of his fast rushing car an
inert figure stretched across the tracks.
Yet no motorman was charged with
manslaughter, for the figures were
dummies which mischievous young
America rugged up to frighten the men
who drive the electric cars.
(Note to fathers-Look for your
summer suit which you tucked away
so carefully for next years use. They
say Johnnie had the best dummy ON
the block.)
Witches swished through the air on
broomsticks, and ethereal fairies were
waited hither and thither Ger Hal
loween parties. Manageable maids
sought comfort in the looking glass,
permission, and see the image of
the Prince Charming who was to
claim them for his own.
MIRRORS OvERwORKED
Other maids-not exactly old maids,
but maids of uncertain vintage-ob-
served the strict letter of the HaIlow-
cen mirror law, and backed down the
cellar stairway at the bottom of which
dimly burned a light, and begged that
in the reflection of the glass they
might see the man who was to be
their helpmeet
One Boyle Heights lassie tripped
during the cellarway stunt and on
landing on terra firma said she was
sure she was to be the bride of a the
atrical man or an astronomer, for
she saw stars all around her.
AT many of the Halloween parties
ducking for apples proved a great
source of amusement. incidentally
there are numerous cases OF influenza
rampant this morning.
When your stenographer arrives with
the sneezy salutation, "Gethoob Morb-
Ming" don't imagine she is trying to
greet you in Esperanto, is still mas
ticating a portion of her breakfast,
or is endeavoring to he faeetious-she(
has cold in her head and that's the
best imitation of Good morning
which she can give under the circum-
stances.
When the midnight chimes changed
there was a scurrying of ghosts back
to the graves whence they came.
and with them they carried Halloween
of 1910.
Several hospitals of Los Angeles en-
tertained with Halloween parties for
the nurses last evening, the affairs
being given in the various nurses
homes connected with the hospitals.
Among the most elaborate of these fes-
tivities were those of the Angelus,
California and Pacific hospitals.

FUND TO HELP WIDOW KEEP
HOME Is GROWING SLOWLY
About One-Third of Sum Needed
to Pay Lien Is in Sight

About one-third of the sum needed to
pay off the lien against the humble
home of Mrs. Dolores Vidal at 626 Mis-
sion road has been raised. Sympathetic
friends of the woman, who is unable to
pay the sum assessed against her for
the Improvement of Mission road, are
working to help her pay off the lien,
which is now a cloud on her title, and
unless paid would cause her to lose her
home.

POLICE WILL ACT
ON OLD SCHEDULE
Chief Galloway Decides Recent
Change Fails to Give City
Sufficient Protection

That the experiment of Chief Gallo
way in changing the hours of the pa
trolmen a week ago was unsatisfactory
Is evident from the order issued by
the police executive yesterday chang
ing the three watches back to the old
schedule.
Believing that he could give Los
Angeles better police protection by
having the might watch go on duty at
$50 o'clock at night instead of at
GAS O'clock as has been the custom
for many years, the chief ordered this
change a week ago and then awaited
results.
The first night the change was made,
while the members of the afternoon
watch were on their way to the sta
ton to report off and the members of
the night watch were on their way
to their respective beats, an insurance
collector was held up near Ninth and
Broadway, shot twice and robbed of
$155
CRIME UNDER NEW SYSTEM
The crooks that are in Los Angeles
seemed to have displayed greater act
ivity during the week the experiment
was being made, and more crimes were
committed then than during any one
week for several months.
In most of the cases the burglaries,
holdups, attacks on women and other
offenses were committed in the early
part of the night.
The fact that there was an increase
of crime evidently led Chief Gallo
way to realize that the old system is
the best, and he issued orders yester-
day to become effective tonight.
The men on the night watch will go
on duty at 6:45 o'clock, as before, and
relieve the men of the afternoon watch
who must remain on their beats until
relieved. Likewise the members of the
night watch must remain on duty I'M
til they are relieved by the morning
watch. In this manner the beats are
always covered" The chief believes
it is better plan, but the men are not
so we'll pleased, for under this new
rule they will be compelled TO work
forty-five minutes overtime each day
without pay for the extra duty.
Last night the night watch went on
duty at $3.50 o'clock-an hour earlier
than usual-in order to prevent depra-
dations by gangs of boys bent on cell
ebrating Halloween.

DWELLING BURNED.
About 1880 on Thursday there was
an alarm Of fire and the two and one
half story dwelling owned by Mrs.
Thyrza Jones of Moscow was found
to be ON nre In the ell chamber
probably from an overheated funnel.
1t was found impossible to save the
building and all efforts were made to
save the contents. The first floor was
occupied by Ralph O'Hara and fam
lily. Their household goods were
mostly saved though some were
damaged. Many of Mrs. Jones' things
were packed and stored In the attic.
These were all lost and part Of her
goods ON the second floor.
There was an insurance of $1,000 on
the house and $40O on the furnishings
which perhaps covers half the loss.
The main part of the house was COM
paratively new, but the ell where the
fire caught was old. Mr.. O'Hara was
able to secure a rent in the new Dur

France has some peculiar
laws that we i'll this country
cannot fully appreciate.
Under a decision recently
made an American who has
lived in Paris for some time
was actually forced by order
court to furnish his apartment
in such a way that his furni-
ture and effects should be am
pie security for the rent. His
rental was $500 Il year. The
landlord during his tenants
absence sent a bailiff to value
the effects. He found that
they were worth but 5000
francs. The teuaut was sum-
moned to court to have judg-
ment given against him,
though he is actually occupy
ing the premises.
Thus it is established that
a man must have full security
for all Of his Indebtedness aud
is compelled by law to live
within his means To the
average American mind this
is going too far in abrogating
the rights of the Individual,
but it is not certain that this
law does not have its good
points. Itdemands frugality
