THIS IS a FACT
Alcoholism
is A
POISONING

and needs medical treatment. 1t is a
peculiar poisoning. 1t results in a con-
dition that creates a craving and this
craving makes the victim to be a vic
tim. Preaching and punishment alike
can do him no good. His moral con-
ceptiOns may be aroused by preaching,
but punishment only results in pro-
ducing a morbid, reckless despair and
neither of these conditions takes away
a particle of that consuming craving
that will certainly make him continue
to drink, even though he may fight it
off for few days or a few weeks,
through his remorse or through fear of
punishment. He needs a doctor He
needs a doctor who is prepared to ad-
minister to him the necessary treat
ment to remove this consuming craving
and at the same time create in him
distaste for liquor that will enable him
to resist temptation until he can be-
come adjusted to a normal state of
life again.

STEAMSHIP MEN ASSERT
NO RATE WAR ON COAST

There will be no rate war this year
between the Pacific Coast steamship
company and the Independent line
according to local officials of the two
companies.
"Our company simply cut the rates
on second class passage to San Fran
cisco to create more business" said
H. B. Britain, city passenger and
ticket agent for the Pacific Coast COM
pany, yesterday. "All through the sum-
mer our ships have been sailing
crowded to capacity in the first class
section with very few people in the
second class cabins. Such state OF
affairs is not desirable, SO we reduced
the rate in order to equalize matters.
c. j. Lehman, general manager OIL
the Independent line, assigned the same
reason for his company's reduction he
also said:
1--WE believe that it is for the best in
terests of Los Angeles that this lower
rate should be made between here ana
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
There is no daubt about 1t, that low
rates create a great deal of travel and
the S5.35 rate will bring great many
people here who otherwise would not
have come The rate between Port
land and San Francisco has been less
than five dollars for some time and the
second class business on our lines be-
tween these two points greatly out
numbers our second class travel be-
tween Los Angeles and San Francisco
O,lr new rate Is made in an effort to
create a greater second class trade In
this locality"

VOTE TO CONDEMN STRIP
BY AGRICULTURAL PARK
800 Citizens in Mass Meeting
Favor Assessment District

A mass meeting of citizens interested
in the improvement of Agricultural
park was held in the chapel Of the
University of Southern California last
night. Three hundred persons were
present. The question of condemning
the thirteen-acre strip paralleling the
southern end of the park for park pur-
poses or the site of a new normal
school, together with the prevention of
the repeal of an ordinance against the
building of street car barns in that
section of the city, were discussed.
A resolution approving condemna-
ton proceedings was presented by c. E.
Cort and unanimously passed for
presentation to the city council.
r. B. Andrews, president of the
Forty-ninth and F'igueroa Streets I'M
provement association, delivered a gen.
eral address on the need of condemning
the strip of land south of the park
w. H. o. O'Connell, chairman OF the
committee on valuation, gave figures in
regard to the value of the property to
be condemned
1.-THE assessment district takes in
eleven square miles," he said, contain
ing about $4,000 45-foot lots valued at
SIS, 900, or $4,000 an acre. The average
assessment in this case will be $l.SS q
lot, whereas the opposition, or street
railway companies, have been stating
that the assessment would run from
$50 to $3.50 lot. They don't want con-
demnation proceedings here. They
want that land for their car barns,
and there is an ordinance In force at
this moment that prevents them from
marring these beautiful homes by
building car barns in this district"

ROSE STAHL REPEATS
HER OLD-TIME TRIUMPH
Comedienne as Patricia O'Brier
in Chorus Lady Edifies
Large Audience
by SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

Three Monday nights has Rose Stahl
appeared as THE Chorus Lady at the
Mason opera house, and three Monday
nights has she entertained as wall as
edited a large and brilliant audience
with her Slangy conversation, her com
edy, her characterization and her art.
Last night was no exception to other
Monday nights which have gone before
in the other years. There were some
in the audience who had seen The
Chorus Lady" before. One of these
said in no uncertain tones, II en-
joyed it more last night than that
other time l saw it," (meaning, OF
course, the play and the players, tor
that Is the way spectator cfltlcs nave
of expressing themselVes.)
There's something so real, so hu-
man, about "The Chorus Lady" that 1t
seems 1t viii live for many long
year. Rose Stahl may lay by the
principal role and seek others but the
treatergoing public will always re-
member Miss Stahl as Patricia y Brlen
and will ever be grateful TO her Ior
creating the character.
If those who condemn the theater
and chorus girls In particular could
see "The Chorus Lady" they prob
ably would change their minds very
quickly. In this play of James FORBES
is given a clear picture of the strug.
giles, the lire ana Lne IeAlDLdIiohs ~
the 'merry-merry."
Miss StahIs portrayal of Patricia
O'Brien is beyond cavil. She has
PLAYED the role so many times and
before so many different kinds Of au-
diences, and has always scored such a
triumph, that 1t would seem. she IS
entitled to being called eminently ar
tistic. Praise, however, seems need
less just as criticism Is baseess. 1t is
j. the second act, which once formed
the basis of a vaudeville sketch in
which Miss Stahl first appeared, that
ashe is at her best. A succession or
laughs is her reward for the first
scenes of that act. And then when
she discovers that her little sister,
also a chorus girl, is about to fall into
the clutches of a monster, there Is
quite q different reward. Like all true
condolences Miss Stahl carries pathos
very near the surface, for 1t Is but
necessary to scratch a laugh to make
a tear flow.
Surrounding Miss Stahl is company
of clever players. Alice Leigh is per-
fectlon as Mrs. O'Brien. Wilfred Lu-
cas- looks and acts Dan Mallory as 1t
deserves, Isabel Goodwin is an inno-
cent and perverse Nora, Robert Stowe
Gin is the proper sort of Juvenile
"heaVy" as Dick Crawford. Claire Lane
makes good as Sylvia simpson, while
all the other members of the cast seem
TO fit their roles exactly.
