OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
BY TEMPEST

BY TEMPEST
 There is an old saying: that, charity begins at home" We would say that it should begin at home.
 We are neglecting our United States to carry the gospel to foreign climes. We are keeping an army of missionaries in the Orient, in Africa and in other barbarous re- gions. We are spending enormous sums of money in vain effort to con- vert an unwilling set of savages and barbarians to a religion they do not want to know, and we run the risk of furnishing a personal feast for some in the bargain, while here in our glorious United States there are thousands of white families and men who do not know tue uses of a church.
 First, see that the wants of our own people are administered to and that the plan of salvation is made clear to them.
 There are thousands of mained human beings, some one-armed, one legged, some deprived of both arms or both legs. and others dis membered yet differently. The people frown on these poor fellows and slur them as they mingle in the ever changing masses of humanity. They shonld have retreat where they can be cared for away from the hatred of cruel humanity.
 In spite of the philanthropical societies and individuals good work to build and maintain sanitoriums, are thousands of hopeless victims of the ''great white plague" too poor to take care of themselves, they are in the crowded cities, rot ting away in hopeless heaps await ing the flop of the death angels ebon wings. At sight of them peo- pie flee in fear. Leprosy never was more dreaded. Spend some of these millions used to persuade the China man to part with his queue, to give the poor deserted and stricken mortais some relief.
 There are thousands of poor fam lilies in the tenements and scattered over the land that never have known the taste of square meal. that re- cine upon few dirty rags on the floor, that live on garbage from the city and wear the discarded gar ments of the wealthy and middle classes. In spite of compulsory education, thousands never darken the door of a school, but like Topsy they, "just grow"
 The clergy proclaims from the altars of sanctity the love of God for man, and herald the admonish- ions to emulate the Great Christ in our daily life here on earth.
 The laity sing hymns of praise and sanction the pastors amen, yet when without the steepled sanctu- aries they forget the text and the meaning of it all. They send, for shows sake, piece of money to redeem the "Heathen Chinese" and pass a shoeless, for Torn orphan the next moment with out so much as an expression of pity.
 It is called a cruel world, not so. It is cruel people that inhabit the earth. Charity should begin at home.

TRY TO TRACE FAMILY
TREE IN OLD DIRECTORY
Owner of Copy of New York'S
First Population List Re-
ceiveS Many Letters

Since the publication in The Herald
of the story of a fac simile reprint of
the first city directory of New York
ever made James Bowles of 4402 Frank
lin avenue, East Hollywood owner Of
the copy, has received numerous in
uuiries from all over the country, many
of them coming from New York from
persons seeking to trace their family
tree back to the early days of New
York.
Many of these inquirers are under
the impression that the little book
owned by Bowles is one of the original
prints. On the contrary, it was pub
lished in 1886 at II University place by
the Trow City Directory company eX-
actly 100 years after the original pub
lication.
Among the letters received by Bowles
Is one written by Charles j. Gould Of
Tarrytown-o the Hudson and mem
Der of the Union League club of New
York
Bowles has, however, one Of the first
city directories of the city of Newark,
N. J., which was printed in 1S10-11 by
b. T. Persons directory office, 800
Broadway street, Newark. 1t sold at
that time for ST. This directory is in
a fairly good state of preservation, al
though many of it's pages are torn and
yellow with age.
In the directory are the names of all
persons living in the city at that time,
with their addresses and occupations.
There is also a directory of the various
places of business and a brief outline
of the early history of the state of New
Jersey.

ORGANIZATION FORMED
To BOOM SOUTHLAND
Chambers of Commerce Will Try
to Induce More Tourists
to Come Here

An organization, the work of which
will be to induce more tourist travel
to Southern California, was formed
yesterday morning in the rooms of the
chamber of commerce 1t is made up
of representatives of chambers of
commerce of towns and cities of the
southern part of the state and men
from the passenger departments of the
transcontinental railroads.
officers were chosen, committees ap-
pointed and preliminary arrangements
for beginning work were made.
President Joseph Scott of the local
chamber of commerce opened the meet
ing and explained it's purpose. He
then introduced Mayor George AleXan-
der. who said in part:
I'm behalf of the city of Los An
geles 1 wish to extend to you a most
hearty greeting. We canot overesti-
mate the value of this movement to
Los Angeles and Southern California.
You are to be commended for endeav-
oring to devise a plan whereby the
interests of this part of the state
MAY become known the world over,
and l congratulate you for the public
spirit shown in this great project.
Ninety per cent of the people in
Southern California are tourists. The
purpose of this movement is to have
more people come and see this part
of the country"
AL Lindley, Southern California rep
resentative of the Panama-Pacific In
ternational exposition, urged that all
who were interested in bringing more
tourists to Southern California should
vote for the two constitutional amend
ments which will make it possible to
add $10000,000 to the fund for the ex-
position which is planned for San
Francisco in 1915.

MAYOR URGES SUPPORT
OF FAIR BOND ISSUE
Executive Makes Public State
ment Favoring Amend
mentS Nos. 1852

In an open letter Mayor Alexander
urges Los Angeles voters to suppor
constitutional amendments Nos. 33 anC
50, one authorizing San Francisco t.
bond itself for $5,000,000 and the othei
authorizing a bond issue of $5,OOO,OO
by the state, the amounts to be ex
pended for the Pacific-Panama eXposi
tion. The mayors statement follows:
November 5, 1910.-To the Citizens
of Los Angeles: In 1915 the Panama
canal will be completed. This Will
be a notable event in the history o
California. 1t will mark the begin
ming of a new era of commerce on
the Pacific coast, and it should be
fttingly celebrated.
San Francisco is planning such
celebration in her Panama-Paclnc
international exposition. Her clti-
zens have subscribed $7,500,000 for
that purpose They now ask that
the people of California, proposed
by constitutional amendment No.
33, authorize the city and county or
San Francisco to bond herself for
S5,O00,00O, and by constitutional
amendment No. 50 they ask that
the state issue IS 900, 900 to assist in
the celebration. This will give
fund Of $17500,00O of which San
Francisco will pay, counting the
subscriptions of her citizens, the
San Francisco bonds and her share
of the state bonds, $13,500 900; the
Bay cities, other than San Fran
ciso, will pay s140O.000 of the state
bonds. leaving but S2,500,000 to be
paid by the balance of the state.
There is a great rivalry betweel
California and Louisiana as to
which shall have this exposition:
If California does not stand back OF
San Francisco in this matter we
cannot hope for recognition from
congress.
Undoubtedly a large majority OF
the tourists who will visit this ex-
position will visit Southern Califor-
mia, so that in helping San Fran
cisco we will also be helping our
selves.
For the above reasons l strongly
urge all citizens to boost for the
Panama-Pacific exposition and to
vote for amendments SO and 81. Re-
spectfully, -
Mayor.

PAYS $40 FOR PUTTING
FEET ON DINING TABLE

According to Police Judge Freder-
ickson, man who puts his feet on
tables in restaurants and soils the
linen is guilty of disturbing the peace.
He so decided yesterday morning in
the case against Frank Rodriguez, liV-
ing in New High street, and imposed
a fine of $40.
After eating his dinner Friday even
ing in the California restaurant, Main
and Arcadia streets, Rodriguez lit his
cigar and, placing his feet on the

ioy a, smoke. The proprietor objected.
When Rodriguez paid no heed to his
concentrations an officer was called
in and the man was arrested. Rod
riouez pleaded guilty to the charge.

Care OF Hair and Scalp
While attending the Worlds Con-
gress of Beauty Specialists in Berlin
last summer, 1 learned that nearly all
hair dressers to the European courts
employ eggol for shampooing, after
which the scalp is gently massaged
with beta-canthol. The eggol removes
dandruff and excess oil and leaves the
scalp pink and healthy, while beta
canthol is a tonic of rare properties in
producing luxuriant growth Of glossy
hair The eggol shampoo should be
used twice a month for a while, then
once a month; and the tonic, which is
made by dissolving an ounce of beta
canthol in half pint each of alcohol
and water, should be used every night
for a month, then once a week. Many
of my readers have tried this treat
ment with splendid results.

These figures on the board OF
accounts expenses do not include
the expense to townships, coun-
tbs and cities of examinations
by field examiners. Although
a record has been kept by the
state board OF such expenses, a
total has not been made, but it
IS estimated that it will run a
little more than 100000 with the
expenses in individual townships
running from $3.50 to more than
800. In the townships where
the trustees have their books and
records in fairly good condition
the expense has been small, while
in townships where the cxamin-
ers were compelled to spend a
great deal of time in looking up
records of purchases and inves-
tigating expenditures, the cost
has run into considerable
amounts. Additional cost has
been recorded in a number of
townships because the trustees
refused to take their books 10 the
county seats when requested by
the examiners to do so. This
required extra time on the part
of the examiners in the eXamin-
alton of the townships In qeus-
tion. The amount charged back
to officials because of the exam
nations is about double that OF
the total cost of the examina-
lions. 1t is stated although no
total of the actual amount charg-
ed back has been made.
