@, Girls Change Your Hair !.
Twice a Day to Be in Style
AEROPLANES' UP To 5
PM THEN QUAKERCURLS
And, Poor BeauM How Will They
Know Which Locks Haunt
Their Visions!
Here's fashions latest dictum!

Here's fashions latest dtctum!
Society women must change their
hair at least twice each dayi
The soft coils and puffs of the after
noon, that go by the name of ''aero-
planes must give way to the "Quak
er Curls"-quite the newest and smart
est thing of fashion.
The ardent admirer waiting i'm
patiently to Eaze once moro on the
fascinating locks of his best beloved
will now have another problem to solve.
Not only must he ask himself, us
it all her own but he may specu-
late as to whether they are the same
locks as those which have haunted his
vision since he left her at o'clock.
Authorities on the subject all sge
that the name of "aeroplane' is mis-
leading as the proportion of pieces
which sail independently into the air
after they are once securely pinned
on is remarkably small. and that in
all such cases contributory negligence
may be charged against the person
who handled the pins.
One of the many advantages urged
in behalf of the "aeroplanes" is that
many a society woman, haraSsed to
the point of white hairs by the high
cost of living, may for the simple sum
of $25 and up, cover up said white
hairs from the public gaze.
use. Even the sparkling barettes are
attached at the time of buying This
feature, say the authorities, is . great
relief to a woman tired from a day of
exhaustive social duties. Instead of
being obliged to take her remaining
strength for hair dressing, she re-
moves a few pins, gently lifts the aero
plane from the back of her head to
the dressing table. lifts with equal care
and reverence the Quaker curls, fas-
tening them with deft fingers to her
own tightly coiled knot of hair, is
again ready to bravely face the ardu-
Gus task of a dinner dance.
1t is suggested by a mere man that
had Tennyson lived today he would
have been in an embarrassing predica-
ment at the response to his call:
Shine out, little head summing over with curls
To the flowers and be their sun.
For he says, the little head which
is not running over with curls today
is certainly a back number.

Los ANGELES RAILWAY
FORMS NEW CORPORATION
$5,0O0,000 Company Said to Be
Intended for Construction
Purposes Only

The City Railway company Of Los
Angeles, a concern with a fully paid up
capitalization of $5,000,000, filed incor-
poration papers in Los Angeles yester-
day. The new concern is an addition
to the list of Huntington corporations
and has come into being to act as a
construction company for the Los An
geles Railway corporation, according to
members of the board of directors.
In the incorporation papers the fol-
lowing are named as directors of the
new corporation: Howard Huntington,
general manager of the Los Angeles
Railway corporation; S. NJ Haskins,
w. E. Dunn and Albert Crutcher, at
torneys for the same road; c. A. Hem
derson, purchasing agent; c. E. Ward,
land and right of way agent, and ]. E.
Brown, private secretary.
1t was stated last evening that the
City Railway company of Los Angeles
was organized for the purpose of build
ing the extensions and new lines which
the Los Angeles Railway corporation
desires to have constructed.
In speaking of the new concern last
evening w. E. Dunn said:
1.-THE City Railway company of Los
Angeles will act as a construction COM
pany for the Los Angeles Railway cor
poration. 1t was organized for that
purpose and for nothing else, and these
is no other significance in its incorpora-
ton. Problems confronted the street
car company which interfered with the
desired progress in construction work
The best solution of these problems
seemed to be the organization of a
construction company. For that rea-
son, and that alone, it was organized"
It is understood that the Huntington
interests now have about $20,000,000
with which to construct new lines and
improve old ones. Just where this
money will be spent officials of the
company refused to state last evening.

SIGNAL SYSTEM CHARGED;
SHOCKING, SAYS POLICEMAN
officer Tries to Telephone and
Lands in Gutter

Because an electric light wire fell
across the lines of the police signal
system last night the officers in China
town and vicinity are reporting over
private telephones. The discovery that
something was wrong with the system
was made by Patrolman John North
of the Chinatown squad, who had an
aerial jaunt and a hard jolt as the
result of the mixed circuits.
North approached the police box at
the Plaza last night and lifted off the
receiver to report to central station.
He had no sooner grasped the lever
to turn in the signal than he felt as if
a thousand needles were pricking his
fingers and his head bobbed back and
forth at a rapid rate.
When he recovered from the shock
he was sitting in the middle of the
street fifteen feet away. North finally
summoned courage to close the door
of the box by using the end of his
club. He promptly notified his brother
officers, and they unanimously de-
cided that a private telephone would
answer all their requirements and
tabooed the patrol boxes.

At a conference between the streets
and boulevards committee and officials
of the Pacific Electric railway, to be
held Thursday afternoon, Councilman
Gregory, chairman of the committee,
will make some large demands on the
railway. He will ask that transfers
be granted from the Edendale line to
the Sunset boulevard line of the Los
Angeles Pacific and that the railway
deed a portion of its right of way from
Alvarado and Berkeley to the north
city limits for street purposes.
Mr.. Gregory admitted yesterday that
he did not expect to receive all from
the railway that he intended to ask
but that, failing to secure some con-
cessions, he would demand that the
Glendale and Glendale cars be stopped.
The city attorney yesterday report
ed that the railway had no franchise
on it's right of way to cross Effie, Far
go and Baxter streets and suggested
that the company be given notice to Sc
cure a franchise on Allesandro street,
and across the other streets within ten

LYNX FREEDMEN HIDE
IN ICE BOX--C0LO--BUTt
Riotous Rush to Polar Tempera-
ture in Preference to Prox-
unity to Cat

An ice box of box car capacity and a
lively Utah lynx came near being the
cause of a number of frozen ears and
toes yesterday morning at the New
market company's store in South Hill
street.
The near victims of the cold storage
tragedy were assisting e. B. Rice, city
animal keeper, remove a chain from the
neck of a big lynx or Utah cat in the
rear of the market when the box in
which the animal was confined broke
and gave the cat its liberty
There were a dozen men around the
box at the time-all assisting. In less
than ten seconds after the box split
said twelve assistants had retreated to
the big chest used to cool meats. 1t
was the safest place-if not the most
comfortable--in their vicinity when the
sharp clawed animal came forth to do
a little assisting itself, and they were
not very particular where they hid.
The animal was captured a few min
utes later, and the assistants returned
to their regular duties.
Two big cats of the lynx family were
shipped in from Utah to the Newman
ket company, arriving yesterday. As
the chain around the neck OF one of
the animals was injuring it. members
of the firm sent to Eastlake park for
Mr.. Rice to remove the chain.
The latter secured the cat in a small
box in order to get close enough to file
the chain. and was rapidly cutting the
metal when the box collapsed. The re.
frigerator door received most of the
assistants, and from behind it they
watched Mr.. Rice recapture the ami
NAL.
The two cats will be presented to the
city's zoo in Eastlake park.
