BOARD ADOPTS PLAN OF
ALLEYS TO FIGHT FIRE
Commissioners Recommend Pas
sageWay in Each Block in
Congested District

A comprehensive plan for alleys In
a part of the business district was
adopted by the fire commission yester-
day and will be sent to the council for
approval The alleys are to afford
better facilities for fire fighting. If they
are put through according to the plan
of the fire commission, it will require
wholesale condemnation Of business
property, but the commission says that
every year means more expense and
that the work should be done now II
it is ever to be accomplished in part
the committee report. is:
I'VE have given the condition of the
blocks in the present congested district
considerable thought, and have con-
cluded that all blocks lying north OF
Sixth street and between Los Angeles
and -Iill streets, that now have no al
leys, will necessarily remain in that
condition. We are forced to this
conclusion from the high cost Of MAX
ing changes at This late day. Many of
these blocks have costly buildings oc-
cupying the ground necessary for al
leys, and in all of these blocks the cost
Of the land would prohibit any gen.
eral scheme for establishing alleys by
action of the city.
through the center of each block, run
ming parallel with the north and south
streets, and covering the district south
Of Tenth street, between Los Angeles
and Figueroa, could be extended to
Pico street, and all done now at COM
paratively small cost. The district
lying east of Los Angeles and south of
Fifth street and extending to San
Pedro street on the east and Ninth
street on the south should be improved
under the same general scheme of an
alley running parallel with the north
and south streets in the middle of the
block, and where conditions would per
nit, your committee recommends that
such alleys be established
THE district lying south of Fifth
street and east of San Pedro street
should have it's alleys running parallel
with Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
streets, as the traffic is almost entirely
east and west on those streets. These
alleys should be put through now at
a comparatively small cost The bene-
fits to private property nbutting on
these alleys could not be less than 10
per cent of the value of the land with
out the alleys and the cost would not
exceed. speaking broadly, . per cent
of the cost of the value of the lands
without the alleys and in many cases
it would not cost 2 per cent"

MEN JUMP, SAVE SELVES,
AS AUTO TURNS TURTLE
Oakhurst Resident in Accident
After Helping Poor

The agility of G. H. Brown OF Oak
hurst and a friend who was riding with
him probably saved the men from be-
ing crushed to death when the auto
driven by Brown turned turtle as the
result of a front wheel breaking at
Sixth street and Iona drive late yes
terday afternoon.
Brown, who conducts a saloon at 21l
West Fourth street, and friend had
just finished distributing Christmas

were on their way back to town when
the accident occurred. When he heard
the wheel break Brown shouted to his
companion to jump, and both cleared
the auto just as it toppled over.

Straight PIeated Skirt.

The simple skirt that is SO devised
as to give the effect of .tunic is one
greatly liked this season, and this
model obtains the result with the
least possible labor. In reality the
skirt Is a straight one, and conse-
quently it suits washable materials
particularly we'll, yet the wide tuck at
knee depth gives suggestion of the
favorite tunic and is essentially
smart Embroidered muslin is the
material illustrated, but the skirt will
be found available for the foulards
and pongees and for all the thin ma
terials of the season. 1t would be
lovely made from marquisette or from
cotton voile; it makes an excellent
model for foulard and all the muslins
are just as well adapted to it as the
one illustrated.
The skirt is made in one piece. 1t
'can be finished at the lower edge
either with hem or an undertaking
and the tuck is laid on indicated lines.

Hints on Color.

Blue suits the golden-haired girl.
and makes her hair look more beau
tifuI, but it seems to destroy all the
beauty of some gray-eyed maids. and
it is most unbecoming to those of at
all sallow complexion. Now, gold in
some form will conceal any little yell
lowness of the skin, and white COM
ing in contact with the face subdues
the i'll effects Of blue and preserves
its good ones. Only to the youngest
and fairest do pink and white seem
suitable, and yet white is much used
by the old, and soft white laces are
becoming even to grandmothers.
