HOT CAMPAIGN AT
OLIVE HIGH ENDS
Factions of Student Body Close Ener-
getic Political Contest and
Elect Officers for
Coming Year

One of the warmest political cam
paigns of high school history was
brought to a whirlwind finish yester-
day afternoon at the Olive street high
school by the election of officers for
the student body for the coming year.
AS a result of the balloting Herold
Morton was named president, Carle-
ton Henley, vice president, and Mil
dred Knaff, secretary. Harry Wilson,
Charles Morrison and Estelle Nesbit
the defeated candidates, received the
news of their downfall bravely and
were the first to extend congratula-
tions to the victors.
A few minutes previous to the cleo
ton a fire drill was held and the stu
dents, of whom there are 500, gathered
in the school yard and listened to the
last words" of the candidates and
their bosses and foremost supporters
The excitment was as intense as it is
at any football game, and the roofing
was as noisy as it is at any gridiron
battle. The girls were as energetic in
the speech-making as the boys and
demonstrated in spite of cries of More
steam" from the boys, that the suf-
frage movement will not die because of
lack of supporters in the coming gem
Grafton.

SYMPHONY IN BLUE
BULLOCK'S DISPLAY

Shoppers on Broadway this week
are commenting upon the unusual ar
tistic appeal of the blue color scheme
of the window display at Bullock's
department store. The exhibit pleas
antIy demonstrates the possibilities of
art in commercialism. Fashion has
whispered that blue is to be the ruling
color this spring, and Bullocks deco
rators have taken the hint and pre-
sented an array of new shades that is
mastery in it's good taste. The entire
Broadway front has been captured by
the display, and the Seventh street
windows also have come under its
sway.
Hats, cloaks and costumes. the soft
est silks and richest dress weaves are
offered in this enhancing shade. Blue
in cotton and wool, blue gloves, blue
neckwear and blue hosiery are all to
be seen. A distinct novelty in the form
of blue street bag is found in one
corner of the windows. A parasol of
a delicate hue of blue is one of the
novel features. Near the Seventh
street entrance is a beautiful show
of stationery of a delicate tint of blue.
Within the store the standard shade
is also much in evidence. Spots of
blue in every department carry out
the dominating theme. The store has
been congratulated by many persons
on the magnificence of its dress this
week. Seldom has such an exquisite
display been made in this city.

MUZZLES AGAIN;
ALAS POOR FlDO
CANNES MUST WEAR MASKS
WHEN IN PUBLIC
FACES, NOT THEIR TAILS, WILL
BE DECORATED
Council Decides That During Hydro
phobia Scare Dogs Should Be
Carefully Guarded to Pre-
vent Attacks

Dogs 1unning at large must be
muzzled, and it will not be satisfac-
tory to put the muzzle on the tail,
either, as some did when the ordl-
nance was in effect last fall.
Virtually the same ordinance adopt
ed by the council last September was
re-enacted yesterday, only two mem
bers, Gregory and Lusk, voting no.
Councilman Gregory opposed the or
dinance because he believed the muz-
zling of dogs is cruel, and Judge Lusk
opposed it because of provision that
permits a humane officer or police Of
ficer to shoot dog suspected of hav-
ing rabies. Councilman Lusk feared
this duty might be abused.
Although the former ordinance re-
quiring dogs to be muzzled was de-
clared effective by DR.. L. Nj. Powers,
city health officer such storm of
protest resulted from lovers of dogs
that in three weeks after its passage
it was repealed by the council But
the city health officer believes that
the protest was due to a misconcep-
tion of the terms of the ordinance.
1t applies only to dogs running at
large. Any dog confined in a back
yard or other premises in such a way
that he cannot get out on the streets
does not have to wear a muzzle, nor
does the dog that is taken out by his
owner on leash. But any dog running
at large about the street must wear
muzzle and if he does not, the hu-
name officers and patrolmen are au-
thorized to take him up or shoot him.
The shooting provision was put in
as an amendment to the ordinance on
the suggestion of DR.. H. G.. Brainerd,
who told the council that discretion in
this matter should be given the Off
GERS in cases of suspected rabies. He
spoke of the death of the young son
of Joseph Scott from this disease, and
said he had no patience with those
people who protested against muz-
zling on grounds of cruelty while the
lives of children were at stake.
An amendment to the ordinance CIV
ing the health officers the right to go
on private premises to investigate sus-
pected cases of rabies was added to
the ordinance by suggestion of DR..
Sherwin Gibbons of the health board.

SAYS COST OF LIVING
is DUE TO PROSPERITY
Speaker Declares Modern Housewives
Too Busy Seeking Luxuries
to Practice Economy

James F. Paulding, secretary of the
Retail Grocers' association, speaking
before the Civic association in the
committee room of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday morning on 1.-THE
High Cost of Living" said: Super
ficially, the high cost of living is due
to the increased capital necessary to
carry on business. Five years ago,
for instance, grocer made the same
profit on a pound of butter for which
he paid twenty cents as he does now
when it costs him forty cents. Ten
years ago prices were still lower, and
reviewing the cost of living twenty
years ago we are compelled to wonder,
momentarily, If ruin is not ready to
swoop down on u.s.
Mrs. Cordelia Kirkland, in a paper
on "The Remedy for the Increased
Cost of Living ascribed it to the "por-
terhouse'' habit. 1.-THE country is so
prosperous" declared the speaker,
''that between buying new clothes and
attending the theater, people have no
time to prepare the cheaper cuts of
meat, which would answer every pur-
pose if properly cooked. Fireless cook
ers offer an economical and convenient
method of utilizing this part of the
beef and an earnest effort, along this
and other lines, to avoid extravaganza
and live simply would make this talk of
high living seem ridiculous"
A resolution requesting the city po-
lice commissioners to send out ply
sician with the ambulance on every
emergency call was presented by Mrs.
N. e. Wilson and unanimously
adopted
Mrs. Willoughby Rodman announced
the opening of a new city playground
at Compton and Slauson avenues on
March 12. The committee on play
grounds will provide a program and
refreshments.

DRIVEN TO CRIME BY
MORPHINE, SAYS PLATT
Nephew Of Senator Pleads Guilty tc
Burglary and Goes to Folsom
for Term OF Three
Years

Although he stated in criminal court
Friday that his confinement in the
county Jail had completely cured bis
craving for morphine, w. F. Platt.
claiming to be nephew OF Thomas C.
Platt, former United States senator
from New York. declined to ask for
probation and gracefully accepted a
sentence to three years in, Folsom peni-
tentiary.
Platt pleaded guilty several days
ago to the charge eof burglary for the
theft of a number of articles from the
home of s. ID. @. Anderson of Pomona
Later these things were found In his
little millinery store at Pomona Fol-
lowing his arrest he said he received
the goods, knowing them to have been
stolen. aid he expressed a determine
tion to fight the case, claiming the
crime If any, was committed while he
was undep the influence of the drug to
which he had been slave FOR eight
years.
Then his attitude changed and his ac-
tions since have mystified his attor-
neys, the district attorney and the
court. Ten days ago he appeared in
Judge Willis court and pleaded guilty
TO the charge of burglary, changed this
10 not guilty the following day, and
three days later without any informa-
tion to his attorneys, voluntarily went
into the courtroom and again pleaded
guilty.
When Platt appeared for sentence
yesterday he told the court he had no
desire to ask for probation and made
no statement in his own behalf. The
burglary, he said, had been committed
in the daytime and Judge Willis found
1t to be burglary of the second degree
and sent Platt to Folsom for three
years.
Officers who have closely watched
Platt's case believe his failure to apply
for release on probation is due to a
fear that an investigation might be
made into his past record, revealing
q history that he wishes to conceal.
