LARGEST CAFETERIA IN
CITY WELL APPOINTED
Boos Brothers viii Open a New
Place This Morning

Boos Bros. opened their new cafe
terra, 436 South Hill street, for inspec-
tion yesterday, and all day crowds
strolled back and forth from the cash
ier's desk to the kitchen, admiring the
new dining room. This forenoon at IL
o'clock the cafeteria will be opened for
business, luncheon being the first meal
served.
This cafeteria is probably the largest
in Los Angeles, the main dining room
and the one on the second floor making
1t possible to seat more than 500 per-
sons at one time. The upper dining
room is finished in white throughout.
In the center is an opening looking
midway between the floors, directly
under this opening, is the box for the
orchestra, which will furnish music.
Owing to the fact that in the east
cafeterias do not exist to any great
extent, many of the fixtures for this
one were constructed by Boos Bros
themselves. This is true of the copper
running boards, griddles and steam
heating apparatus for keeping the food
warm, and they have built these on the
most up to-date and sanitary plans.
Parlors, rest and wash rooms, for
both women and men, have been in
stalled, and also free telephones, all
on the second floor 1t is expected by
the management that the upper dining
room will prove popular in the even
ings, where the diners can go and
enjoy their dinners away from the noise
of the streets.

ALASKANS ADD ANOTHER
TO BACK HOME SOCIETIES
About Thirty Members Already in
New Organization

At a meeting of about thirty Alas
kans in the committee room of the
Chamber of commerce building yester-
day afternoon, it was decided to or
ganize a Los Angeles society of per-
sons from the frozen northland. COM
mittee was appointed to formulate a
constitution and by-laws and take
definite action toward shaping the or
ganization. The committee consists of
e. M. Sheppard, J. ]. Rutledge, S. w.
Wall, A. C. Edward, Arnold f. George
and John L. Timmons. The report of
the committee will be submitted, at a
second meeting of Alaskans to be held
In the chamber of commerce rooms
next Monday afternoon at o'clock.
There are organizations of Alaskans
In Seattle and San Francisco, and for
some time the need of one in Los An
geles has been felt. There are over
200 Alaskans in Los Angeles and it Is
thought that most of them will become
interested in the new society. In the
winter there are hundreds of Alaskan
visitors, to whom it is the intention
of the resident Alaskans to extend a
hearty welcome.

HOMES|Ck LAD BACK IN
GEORGE JUNIOR COLONY
Young Ben Schaam, a Fugitive
from Republic, Voluntarily
Returns at Home

Tired of rambling around after es-
Gaping from the George Junior Re-
public grounds last Wednesday, Ben
Schaam aged IA. telephoned to Pro-
baton Officer Mclaughlin yesterday
and gave himself up. He declared he
wanted to return "home," meaning the
republic, where he had been sent for a
year by Judge Wilbur recently.
Ben became quite mysterious in Civ
ing himself up. He telephoned to the
court house yesterday and asked for
Mclaughlin.
SIS that you, Mr.. McLaughlin?" he
asked on the latter answering the
phone.
Yes, this is l." returned McLaugh-
lin. What is it?''
"Well, I'm Ben-Ben Schaam, and I
am down at the corner of First and
Spring streets. If you want to come
down and get me I'll be here"
you'll be sure to wait there?" asked
the probation officer.
"You bet I will, Mr.. Mclaughlin" p"
returned the boy
Mclaughlin put on his hat to go
down to First and Spring streets, say
ing it seemed like hoax for the lad to
telephone him to come and take him.
He had had some peculiar experiences
with boys in the juvenile court, how
ever and he thought it was worth
while looking into.
Sure enough, when he returned Ben
was with him, walking contentedly by
his side. "I found him at First and
Spring." said the probation officer. HE
made no attempt to get away"
"What was the matter, Benz" he
asked kindly. did you get lone
some?"
II certainly did," gasped Ben. 81
won't run away no more. l want to
go home"
"Well, you must go over to the de-
tention home first" said Mclaughlin,
land from there they will take you
back to the republic. Can I accept
your word of honor to go to the de-
tention homer"
'You just bet you can. Mr. Nc
Laughlin," said the boy. earnestly, and
when the probation officer went over
a little later he found that little Ben
had kept his word.

RAILWAY co. MUST
IMPROVE PAVING
Board of Public Works Sets a
Standard Which Council Will
Declare Necessary
GROOVED RAILS ARE URGED
Bluff of the Southern Pacific Is
Called by Investigations of
Engineer HamIin
GRO0VED RAILS ARE URGED

No more slip-shod pavement between
the street car tracks, for the street
car companies are no longer to have
their own way in paving. but must
conform to the standard set by the
board of public works and the city
engineer. Such is the decree the coun-
ell will issue today when it receives
the report of the legislative committee.
Two ordinances will be favorably re-
ported by the committee today. One
requires the railway companies to lay
grooVed rails whenever lines are eX-
tended or rails relaid, and the other
to pave according to city specifications
with solid concrete base. This will
eliminate the cracks in the pavement
that appear all over the railway rights
of way The grooved rails are re-
quired because by their use the pave
ment can be laid flush with the tracks,
making a smooth, even surface from
one side of the street to the other.
The recommendation of these ordi-
nances by the committee is the result
of a careful investigation. At this in
vestigation representatives of the
railways protested against both or
dinances, but especially against the
grooved rails. They declared that in
DOOAA
tried they had been found dangerous
because they wore down and broke off.
The Southern Pacific especially called
the attention of the council to its
tracks on Seventh street, in San Fran
CISCO where grooved rails had been
laid.
The Southern Pacific thought it
could put up this little bluff and get
away with it, but it was considered or
hy council and
that body delegated Homer Hamlin,
city engineer, to make a personal in
vestigation. He investigated and re-
ported to the council yesterday that
the only place where he could find
broken lips of the grooved rail was
on a curve. The Los Angeles ordinance
does not require grooved rails on
curbs or street intersections. Not only
were these rails in good condition. but
much better than there was any rea-
sonable right to expect, as the roadbed
| was in bad shape.
