ROOSEVELT WILL MEET
WOODRUFF At SYRACUSE
GriScom Says CoIonel'S Adhe-
rents Will lndorSe Taft
at State Convention

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Theodore
Roosevelt and Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the Republican state
committee probably will meet at SYRIA
cuse Saturday. Colonel Roosevelt is
to speak at the state fair on that day
and Chairman Woodruff, who will
leave tonight for Syracuse, will stay
over until Sunday to hear what the
colonel has to say.
Mr. woodruff was asked whether he
had heard anything in confirmation Of
a report said to have emanated from
friends of Colonel Roosevelt that Pres
ident Taft looked with favor on the
Roosevelt program at the state con-
vention.
you haven't heard that the presi-
dent has taken such n position, have
you?" was the chairman's reply. He
continued:
1T doesn't make any difference.
however, so far as the temporary
chairmanship is concerned. The state
committee took dignified position in
selecting the vice president of the
United States and that selection was
finally acquiesced in by every mem
Der of the committee present, with
the exception of County Chairman
Griscom and Harry w. Mack, who
were not recorded.
Il don't see how any of the men
who voted to make Mr.. Sherman's
election unanimous can go into the
convention and vote for some one else
who has been injected into the situa-
tion, any more than they could go out
and work against a candidate whose
nomination they had helped to make
unanimous in a convention"
Lloyd c. Griscom, when told what
Chairman woodruff had said, made
this comment:
Mr. woodruff ignores the fact that
Mr.. Sherman's election by the state
committee was attained by misuse of
President Taft's name. Mr.. Sherman's
election was accomplished in such
manner that he cannot with dignity
accept it."
Questioned as to reports that Colonel
Roosevelt's adherents were not dis
posed to indorse President Taft's ad-
ministration at the state convention,
Mr. Grlscom said:
"I have not heard that any Repub-
lican in the state Is opposed to giving
the fullest Endorsement to the admin
istration of President Taft. l GER
tainly am in favor Of it,"

FLOCK HON0RS PASTOR
FOR 20 YEAR SERVICE
Congregation of First Christian
Church Shows Esteem for
Rev. A. C. Smither

Overcome by his feelings to such an
extent that he could only bow his ac-
knowledgem rents, the Rev. A G.
Smither of the First Christian church
was presented by his congregation and
friends last night with a large, beau
tifully bound book containing the sig
natures of all members of his flock
The occasion was the anniversary of
Mr.. Smither's twentieth year as pas
tor of that church.
The church was crowded last night
with the many friends of its pastor,
and the applause was quick and hearty
at any praise bestowed upon him
While talking upon Federation Eel
lowship," the Rev. Hugh Walker
turned toward Mayor Alexander and
said:
"The Church federation is the great
est power for good that we have, and
it has been brought to it's highest
power right here in Los Angeles. The
churches of this city federated in our
last election and their power was
shown when they elected you, one of
the best men in Los Angeles for your
place"
Mayor Alexander spoke on "The
Preacher in City Life" The Rev.
Frank NJ. Dowling spoke of "The
Twenty Year Pastorate."
Mr.. Smither responded to their ad-
dresses some time after the presenta-
tion with a few words. He said:
'I have endeavored to preach the
New Testament to my congregation in
a serious light without any sensation
alism, and 1 think that I have sue
ceeded. At any rate, no man in Los
Angeles can say truthfully that I have
ever acted otherwise than as a brother
to him. There are not many preach
ers in the United States who can claim
such q long record in one church as
mine, but even my long service is well
repaid to have such a return as this"
A social reception was rendered the
guests after the speaking.

comes available in part late in the school year of 190S-9. The funds thus placed at your disposal for the ex- pansion and improvement of the school facilities of the city imposed upon the board important additional duties and heavy burden of responsibility. The wise and economical expenditure of these special funds necessitated care full examination by the board of all the school buildings and other school properties of the city and an investiga- ton of the conditions in localities re- quiring new sites and buildings
 "On the Southside of the city the rapidly increasing population had rem dered the sch ools then in use entirely inadequate. The Paul Hayne school on South Twentieth street was crowded far beyond any reasonable limits and each of the other three schools could accommodate no more pupils. Fortu- nately these three schools-the ullman, Lakeview and South Highland-had been originally designed with specific reference to their future enlargement An enlargement of II class rooms was made to the Ullman school at total cost of s34,179,1s. including heating, plumbing, ventilation, wiring and fur

niture. An addition of 10 class rooms was similarly made to the Lakeview school at total cost of $32,875.16. The South Highland school, which already had 12 class rooms. received an addi- tion of 12 more class rooms at total cost of $4S.744.57. inclusive of furni- ture and equipment. While these inn provments were in progress on the Southside the Alberto Martin school on the Northside was improved and enlarged by the strengthening of the old walls and the addition of 10 more class rooms. In addition to the num- Der of class rooms added to these chools each contains a number of smaller rooms for recitation purposes or for emergency rooms and basement rooms for kindergarten, cooking and manual training.
 Obstacles Encountered
 Tn connection with the work on the Alberto Martin school the board encountered a number/of obstacles; the city plumbing inspector, W. O. Mathews and Chief Bennett of the fire depart ment were requested by the board to examine the original building erected eight years before and found the same to be unsafe. The walls of this build ing had to be rebuilt, thus entai1ing g considerable additional trouble, expense and delay. Various forms of trouble e in connection with this building con- spired to cause the board much annoy ance and anxiety and considerable de- lay in the completion of the work The total expenditure upon this school amounted to $44,757. All the additions to the foregoing schools. except tha | of the Alberto Martin, were completed and occupied in December, or early in January. A modern heating and vep- tilating system and an entirely new and sanitary plumbing outfit were in stalled In the above schools.
 Early in June of last year the su- perintendent called the attention of the board to the fact that both the Powell and the Henley school buildings were in an insanitary condition and needed new plumbing and new heating and ventilating system. A careful exam ination of these buildings was made and. after due consideration, it was decided to repair these buildings and

It means economy-it means satis- faction--it means beautiful, lasting finish on your floors, to know the differ ence before you buy.
 Common varnishes are brittle and soon show unsightly scratches.
 Elastica Floor Finish is so tough that nothing mars it. Heels. scraping chairs, casters. leave no marks.
 Common varnishes turn white under water.
 Elastica Floor Finish never does. 1t is waterproof.
 Common varnishes and wax need constant care and re6nishing.
 Elastica Floor Finish keeps its original ustre. It outlasts any finish ever before offered. It saves work and saves expense.
