nrices, I wish to state that in this city
If is a common sight to see women
trimming their own shrubbery, spading
their own gardens and milking thelr
own cows, and yet the price or gro
ceries are from 20 to So per cent higher
than they are in Los Angeles.
Also in Mr.. Haskin's letter or inc
5th inst. it was stated that the retail
merchant does not get rich, but have
observed several of them here who own
beautiful homes, taking their families
ont riding in automobiles. Again, IN
todav's news columns of The Herald, IL
is stated that according to police sta
tistics of all cities in the United States
having a population of between 100, 900
and 135, 900, Paterson, N. j., is the
most orderly by far, the arrests there
being several thousand fewer than In
other cities of it's size, and yet Pater-
son is said to be (and published far

TRUST SCAPEGOATS

ONE of the sugar trust convicts
accuses the trust of having made
~ a scapegoat of him and of hav-
ing bounded and ruined him after he
had served it faithfully for twenty
nine years. Splitter, under sentence of
Imprisonment for conspiracy to de-
fraud by underweighing sugar, made
the statement: "In the alleged fraud
prosecution the government cried for
a victim and the sugar trust answered
by sacrificing me and four $1S-a-week
checkers. None of US was guilty of
any breach of the law, but somebody
had to go to prison to save those
higher up"
II this can be proved, it should be
proved. The Iiberty-loving American
is chafing under the undue influences
which are being exercised in one di-
rection and another In restraint of his
freedom and in abridgement of his
citizens privileges.

rificed to save richer and more power

sponsible the government, BY PETI-

WANTS TO KNOW WHY PRICES
GO UP; SALARIES STAND STILL

TROPICO, Feb. 10-[Editor Herald:
The senator from West Virglma-like-
wise from Missouri-says an inVestlga-
ton is needed to show him what eftect
the trusts and monopolies have on food
prices and who is nursing" them IL
it is the tariff, he wants it shown up,
even at the expense of exposing de-
formfty in MI Aldrich's Child.
Mr.. Elkins is plainly steering about
right. In the old days, when we were
younger, he was the right-hand man
of James G.. Blaine. In polltlcal sd-
eacity, common sense and common nom
esty, all the best equipments for state
craft. Mr.. Elkins is the peer of any
man in the senate So, when he rises
i'm his place and demands that discoV-
erv be made of the responsibility for
the measures introduced into or passed
nv congress, or want of such measures,
for the "feeble splendor" in which the
country rolls and f1ounders-on long
hills and short purSeS--We may pc sure
there is no madness in his metnods;
that we will soon have discovered to us
whv the purchasing power of salaries
today is only about one-half that or
salaries of ten or twelve years ago; why
a salary of 5000 a year would go as
far toward supplying the family with
food and clothing then as will a salary
of $1,000 a year now; and, perhaps, why
it is that salaries have not raised with
the rise of prices on the common neces-
sites of life. -,5

and discover their solution. Theories
are one thing, and irresistible conclu-
ejons from facts another thing.

SAYS THREE MISTAKES ARE
TOO COMMON IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES. Feb. n.-LEdltor
Herald: These practices in Los Ange-
les are reprehensible:
First-Planting the long feather
loaved palms along the streets, between
the curb and sidewalk This peculiar
foliage of the palm, coming out near
the ground, encroaches on the sidewalk
and interferes with its proper use. The
pepper as a street tree is subject to a
similar objection. Its branches spread
out and hang down over the sidewalk
interfering with the hats and bonnets
of pedestrians. The branches of street
tree should grow up and not spread
out laterally, like the palm and the
pepper. -,-,,.,- ,
tice in this enlightened city is that OF
painting houses black, or nearly black.
It is called staining with q very dark
green pigment, which gives residence
a gloomy appearance. This color would
he nroper for a. Jail, or prison, but is
entirely untitled for a dwelling. Some
times houses so painted are adorned
with white trimmings, which relieve
them.
Third-The other practice referred to
is that of erecting large houses on
small city lots. This is in poor taste,
and there is no excuse for it. The first
considerations in q home should be
light and air, and room to move about.
If cost is in the way, 1t is Dettef TO
reduce the cost of the house little.
rather than be cramped for ground
room.
There are some splendid mansions in
this city hemmed in on every side IN
a most ridiculous manner Persons
who have plenty of land sometimes
make this mistake. ID. -

of the success of the great meeting
will be emphasized. Looking back

proud Of. Her record is a glorious
series of enterprises attended by sue

no success more marked than was that
Of Aviation week, and none that at
tracted more attention.
By holding the meeting Los Angeles
rendered. service to the world. There
was no better place on earth for the
contests and trials which marked the
vests first great air carnival And it
was shown that year after year avia-
ton meets may be held in Greater Los
Angeles, with confident expectation of
public and national and international
support that will more than pay their
expenses, besides giving a worldwide
advertisement of Los Angeles enter

EAST HOLLYWOOD

~ Asst HOLLYWOOD election will

BURGLARS TOOLS

A DAYLIGHT burglar whose ca
II reer was interrupted in Los An
"A geles told the police he regarded
burglary as a profession, and said ar
rests are to be considered merely mat
ters of profit and loss. He carried a
fine kit of burglars tools, including
two jimmies to be used on both door
and window locks. Where do profess
sional burglars buy their tools? Where
do they get their kits? A perfect bur-
glars outfit is about as varied and as
expensive as a surgeons. Ask the po-
lice to let you look at a burglars 'set,"
and you will be surprised at the num-
Der, the shapes, the fine finish, the
delicacy of some of the tools and the
superior quality of all of them.
AS there are burglars in every big
city In the United States, it stands to
reason the steel foundry that turns out
the tools must be doing big business.
Where is it? Are the burglars tools
patented?
Perhaps there Is burglars tools de-
partment in the steel trust. This guess
is not libelous, because, according to
steel trust officials, the steel trust does
not exist. But if the organization the
general public mistakes for a steel
trust is engaged in every branch of the
manufacture why should it not be en-
gagged in cleaning a few dollars from
the extra hazardous burglary industry,
which uses tools so expensive it takes

WOMAN SEES JUSTICE IN
CRITICISM OF HER SEX

Los ANGELES, Feb. 1o.-[Editor
Herald: Taxpayer letter, pub
lished in this mornings Herald on the
unfairness of women on street cars
toward men who smoke, seems to me
to be altogether timely and we'll
deserved, although / am a woman and
tobacco smoke is distasteful to me.
1t seems to me that as women have
been given one end of the street cars
free from the use of tobacco, it is
there that they should find their seats
, until the front seats are filled at least.
1t needs only little bit of observa-
tion to find that what Taxpayer" said
about the thoughtlessness or unfair
ness of women on the street cars is
true. | observed the same condition of
affairs on one of the cars of the Wash
ington street line yesterday. The front
seats were empty and women had oc-
cupied all the back seats in the open
part of the car before we reached
Burlington avenue. After that several
men boarded the car with lighted
cigars. One man, who evidently had
Just lighted his cigar and was waiting
for a rear seat for a comfortable
smoke, found that he would have to
stand up if he continued, and he tossed
his cigar away and stalked up to the
front end of the car, where there was
room enough for all the women, and
sat down. / was sitting just inside the
door at the rear of the inclosed space
and noticed this particularly and
there wasn't one woman in the twelve
who occupied the rear seats that even
appeared to know that she was en-
croaching needlessly on the rights and
privileges of others.
I believe that women can be fair
and that most of them try to be. 1t
must be that they don't know what
they are doing when they appropriate
seats in the smoking compartment be
fore there is any need so to do, In
behalf of my own sex, l believe that

MOVING PICTURES

ming around the table, dead figures
coming to life, or clay molding itself
into a bust. The greatest require
ment for this is patience. The bowl
or other object is Photographed in one
position, the camera stopped, the bowl
moved, photographed again, and so
on until it has been made to go
through the required movements.
In the productions of these plays
many feet of film are required, one
story covering anywhere from few
hundred to $4,000 feet, each foot having
sixteen exposures about the size of a
postage stamp. The apparatus needed
for taking these motion pictures, the
cinematograph, is so constructed that
the film does not move past the lens
continuously, but stops sixteen times
to every foot of film, or once before
each exposure. AS the film goes for
ward, preparatory to another shot
being recorded, revolving black shut
ter intervenes to protect the moving
film from light This film is developed
like any other negative, and when dry
a contact print is made on another
piece of transparent film of corre-
spending length, after which process
it is ready to be shown. Such progress
has been made in this process that to-
day a film can be developed and ready
for use twenty minutes after having
been exposed.
With the beginning of the moving
picture craze the exhibitors bought
their films outright, and were forced
to paw large prices-usually about $40
per film. Today the country abounds
with exchanges which furnish two
films a day on the rental basis. the
nrice of this service varies from $l20
week for the best class of films, down
to $50 a week for those which nave
been running for year or longer
A school for operators recently mas
been opened where beginners are
taught the handling of the machine
and given a knowledge of electricity
and the calcium light which is used
in the projection of the films upon the
screen. Fires, due to carelessness on
the part of the operator, nave proved
a menace to the business, but the dam
ger from this source is rapidly pelng
1essened by various improvements.
AS the demand for novelty increased
the makers of the moving picture
films had to be ever on the lookout
for suitable material for scenarios"
for their plays. Shakespeare, Tenny-
son. Longfellow and a host of writer's
have had their words dramatized,
while the Bible has been called npon
to give its share. "The Life or
christ" and "The Life of Moses" have
heen reproduced. A recent innovation
which adds to the educational value
of the films is flashing synopsis OF
the forthcoming scene upon the screen
Immediately before the projection OF
the play itself.

PRISON REFORM

A CHEERING and encouraging sign
II of the increase of official interest
In in the condition of prisoners has
been given by the appointment of
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz of Los An
Eeles as a member Of the state board
of charities and corrections. Mrs
Foltz was the originator of the prison
parole system and believes in the hu-
manitarian treatment and in the edu-
cation and betterment of all prisoners.
Prison reform is a subject in regard
to which the nation will yet be reused
to a sense of the necessity for action.
At present citizens are beginning to
take some interest in the fate of fel-
low human beings who are locked up
and disciplined. The time is fast ap-
preaching when society win demand
publication at regular intervals of ex-
plicit and correct information con-
cerning the condition of every MEM
ber of society who has been convicted
of a crime and immured in prison. .
Under present conditions the prisoner
disappears. The convict Is forgotten.
He is stripped of his identity His
name is lost and the outside world
forgets him. There is nothing re-
formatory in this method. state
prison does not make a man" of any
male being. It does not improve
any woman. Yet with scientific mod
ern methods of treating the inmates
of prisons correctionally and educa-
tionally, the punished prisoner could
be restored to society with a better
appreciation of his duties to it.
Mrs. Alice Wells of the Prison Re
form league in her address on prison
reform stated facts which are only
too familiar to anyone who has in
vestigated, even casually, this ques-
tion of the punishment and reform of
erring members of society by the
members whose personality, educa-
tion, heredity, environment and cir
cumstances have kept them from get
ting into trouble"
Mrs. Wells was outspoken as to the
methods of the Los Angeles police,
characterizing the arrest of Miss
Fisher by Patrolmen Bowe and Brown
ing Tuesday night as lawless. The
law regards every man as innocent
until he is convicted. But the police
regard every man as guilty.
1.-The business of policeman is to
make arrests. The more arrests he
makes the better business man he
thinks he is. The spirit is known all
over the United States. Governor Ait
geld of Illinois once said that out of
100000 men arrested in that state in
one year only 1000 We're convicted"
Perhaps Mrs. Wells made a some-
what sweeping statement when she
said mo man is safe without money
and influence" but it is certain that
a man with money and influence will
fare much better at the hands of the
police than a poor man. The ragged,
vagrant bum" arrested because oi
his raggedness and vagrancy, is much
more roughly handled by the average
policeman than is the wealthy Grim
inaI arrested for bank looting, con-
sniracy or murder THIS is AN IN
coNTRoVERTIBLE FACT AND is
BY FAR THE MOST DISGRACEFUI
FACT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
POLICE SYSTEM OF A REPUBLIC
WHICH DECLARES ALL IT'S CIT.
IZENS ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE
LAW. PERHAPS THE POLICE DC
