ENGLISH SINGERS PLEASE
WITH NONSENSE SONGS
Alice in Wonderland Put to
Music, Proves Delightful
to Large Audience

Liza Lehnaann's PERSIAN Garden
has been sung in Los Angeles many
times and the DAISY Chain has had
it's interpreters also, but the rendition
of these and other compositions by
this talented woman and her quartet
of singers last night at Simpson audi
torium delighted and amused a large
audience.
In it's absolute musical worth the
PERSIAN Garden" is probably the best
writing, but the freshness and novelty
and humor to be found in some of
Madame Lehmann's other work places
her in a sphere quite alone. The
Nonsense songs from "Alice in Won
derland," while set to words so alb
surdly ridiculous as to convulse the
hearers, are of high musical value, and
the accompaniments, delightfully."-
played last night by the composer
herself, show harmonization and color
distinctly worth while.
English singers, with well trained
voices and enunciation which must put
Americans to the blush because of its
clarity and precision, showed also an
excellent vocal balance and well ad-
JuSIeu pOllSn III interpretation Mdu-
anne Lehman, beside writing cleverly
for voice and piano, is herself trained
singer, and she has schooled these
voices to most artistic adjustment of
every situation, and a perfection of
detail in each word and note of every
song. Under her direction singers
and songs assumed scintillant
charm compelling attention and dis
pensing an infectious spirit of joy
throughout the audience.
Miss Blanche Tomlin has sweet
soprano voice which she uses cleverly.
She sings with the enthusiasm of ex-
treme youth, which is hers, and was
naive and delightful In her solo num-
bers, especially "Everybody's Secret"
and "If No One Ever Marries Me"
In the ensemble work her voice was
occasionally just a trifle light and in
the higher notes decidedly penetrating,
but always clear and sweet.

$4,000 DEBT BY DEC.

With the indebtedness now reduced
to s42, 900 and large donations still
coming in, the Young Women's Chris
tian association is making strenuous
efforts to clear the entire amount be-
fore December l. There were three do
nations of $1,000 each made to the as
sociation yesterday. Among the larg-
est donors are Mrs. ]. K. Clark and
Mrs. c. w. Munger, who gave $1,000
each yesterday morning.
Friends of Mrs. Frank Dewey, presl-
dent emeritus of the association, gave
her name as subscriber for $1,000 and
paid the amount themselves. Five
hundred dollars of the amount was
paid by association friends, while the
remaining half was given by Mrs. w.
NJ. Garland, a daughter of the late
Mrs. Marshal Hinman, who was

FIGHTS WITH DOG
TO PROTECT LIFE
Joseph WaIdeCk, Lumber Handler,
Has Desperate Battle in
Banning St. Home
ANIMAL ATTACKS CHILDREN
Canine Is Hurled Into a Vacant
Room and Door Locked After
a Vicious Struggle

With his 4-year-old son torn and
bleeding from bites and his wife and
two younger children covering in a
corner. Joseph Waldeck, a lumber
handler living at $50 Banning street,
early yesterday morning fought off
with his bare hands a supposedly mad
dog that forced its way into a front
room of Waldeck's house and for a
time threatened 10 injure every men,
Der Of the family.
The struggle lasted ten minutes, ac-
cording to the lumber handler and his
wife. Time and again the frothing
animal charged Waldeck, only to be
repulsed each time by the mans
powerful blows. Finally, as the dog
made a last desperate leap Waldeck
clutched the animals throat with his
fingers, and swinging the body across
the back of chair stunned the dog.
Before it could return to the fight,
Waldeck threw the animal into an ad-
joining spare room and locked the
door.
ANIMAL SCRATCHES AT DOOR
The animal arrived at the house
soon after breakfast and attracted at
tention by scratching at the front
door opening to the room. Waldeck
was startled to see the dog rush past
and instantly spring at his son John,
who was sitting on the floor Before
he could reach the animal the boy
had been bitten on the cheek and left
arm and the dog was trying TO bite
another child.
Waldeck rushed between the dog
and the child and began his fight,
while the wife and children booked on
in terror from a corner of the room.
The dog elung close to Waldeck's
heels, making it impossible to kick
the brute with sufficient force to do
any damage.
AS soon as the animal had been Sc
cured in the spare room Waldeck took
his boy to the receiving hospital, where
his wounds were cauterized. The dog
was killed and its head will be exam
ined for rabies.
"It was the fiercest fight in which
ever took part" said Waldeek. "The
dog kept so close to me that / had to
be striking blows every second to
ward him off. I didn't even have
time to grab chair. Nothing short
of a marvel saved me from being
bitten"

NEW SPEED KING
IN TODAY'S RACES
TetzIaff viii Be a Contestant in
Lozier Car at Motor
drome Events
RECORDS EXPECTED TO FLY
Great Card Arranged for Two
Days Events and Series
of Thrills Expected

The motoring public has just recov-
cred from one series of thrills when
up comes another series that is ex-
pected to lower the records on dirt
course. Not that any Of the glory
should be taken from the great Lozier
and Fiat cars that were the star per-
formers at the recent events, but the
Motordrome is by it's nature so much
faster that there is no logical COM
pdrison.
Today at 2:3O another series of auto
mobile races starts, and in all PROB
ability the star performer will be the
identical Lozier car that in the same
day won the two big Pacific coast
events, breaking all American road
race records, and the car will be piloted
by that new premier of the racing
game-Ted Tetzlaf.
Unfortunately, Barney. Oldfield may
not appear. That is, unless the exec
utive board of the A. A. A. takes
speedy action and lifts his suspension,
which is improbable.
Lovers of the racing game in Los
Angeles are not interested in what the
great Barney may have done to offend
the sensitive natures of the board
members, but Los Angeles is practical
ly Barney Oldfelds home, and that
local enthusiasts want to see him race
is apparent.
ADMITS HE Is WRONG
Barney is willing to admit that he
was in the wrong in the particular
things that gave offense and is wiling
to abide by the boards future de-
cisions, If reinstated, and his friends
here hope that tho powers that be in
the association that governs all Amer
lean tracks at present should be big
and broad enough to call a special
meeting which could be arranged just
as we'll by wire as by personal pres
ence.
But even with Oldfield missing, the
public is not to be disappointed in the
class of racing it will witness, for
there are a number of cars entered
that can give enough thrills to keep
everybody interested. The public wants
to see clean cut racing, and the cars
entered are fast enough to satisfy the
most eXacting.
1t is a nationally recognized fact that
the Motordome is the fastest track in
the country, and while numerous
worlds records were broken at the
meet last April. those same marks
seem destined to be lowered today and
tomorrow.
The price of accommodations for the
public has been reduced and as an eff
cient train service will be maintained
by the Los Angeles Pacific railway
there is no reason to suppose that the
crowds that are expected will not ma
terialize.
1t must be remembered that the
course is so pitched that it would take
a heavy rain to put it out of commits
sion, and new records are sure to be
made today. The Lozier entry will of
itself draw a crowd, and it's competi
tors are worthy of it's best efforts.

CHARGES HUSBAND
EL0PED WITH GIRL
Wife Asserts Well Known Real
Estate Man Has Left Her
for Stenographer
DETECTIVES START A SEARCH
Mrs. A. w. Foster Says She Re-
ceived Letter Saying Man
Was Going to Mexico

Alleging that her husband, A. w.
Foster, a real estate dealer with Of
fices at 315 Story building, had desert
ed her for another woman and had fled
to Mexico to escape prosecution, Mrs.
A. w. Foster of 2425 South Grand ave.
nue. sWore to a complaint yesterday
before Deputy District Attorney Blair
charging her husband with a felony.
A warrant was issued from Justice
Summerfield's court and detectives be-
gan searching for the man.
Foster was arrested some time ago
on complaint of his wife on a charge
of failure to provide. He was arraigned
in Justice Baird's court and released on
bail, but when the time came for the
mans preliminary examination on the
charge. the woman weakened and,
fearful lest her husband be sent to
jail, refused to testify against him,
The case was dismissed on Foster's S
promise that he would live peacefully
with his wife.
Yesterday Mrs. Foster called on Dep
uty Blair and showed him a letter
written by her husband in which he
stated that he cared for her no longer
and was going to Mexico to escape any
further prosecution.
Mrs. Foster with tears in her eyes,
told the prosecuting attorney that an
other woman figured in the case and
that Foster had become so enamored
of her that he could no longer remain
at home.
Blair advised that Foster be arrested
on the charge of wife desertion with
the promise that the wife would this
time prosecute the case.
Constable Cohn and detectives from
the district attorneys office said yes
terday afternoon that they could not
find Foster in the city and had reason
to believe that he had made good his
threat to his wife and fled to Mexico.
The Fosters are well known in Los
Angeles and had lived here for many
years. Foster is said to be well off
and is member of several of the ex-
elusive clubs in the city. The woman
with whom he is said to have eloped
was formerly in his employ as stem
ographer.

PLAYFUL CANINE CAUSES
BOY 10 SEEK PHYSICIAN

Because dog wags its tail and barks
cheerful little barks, it is not q sign
that the animal will not bite. Harley
Cross, a Western Union messenger,
living at 1885 East washington, ex-
pressed this sentiment in the receiving
hospital yesterday morning while Dr.
Carter cauterized a wound on the
boys left leg, inflicted by a dog at
Vine and Jackson streets.
WAS the dog cheerful? Well, !
guess" said Cross. 81 was riding my
bicycle when the animal came along
side with the cutest little bark and the
most friendly wag of his tail. l was
about to get off my wheel and pat ms
head when-well, instead of patting his
head beat it to the hospital. He bit
me one second and was out of sight the
next"

Clubs

Friday Morning club members paid
their tribute to the memory of Julia
Ward Howe yesterday morning. The
"reminiscences of this great woman,
written by her friend and co-worker,
Madame Caroline Severance, formed
one of the most interesting features
of the program. Mrs. Elizabeth De-
leans Budget read this paper, and
the writer sat on the platform and
was introduced by Mrs. Clark, presi-
dent of the club.
Madame Severance recounted the or
ganization of the first womans club
which she helped to form in 1868 in
Boston and of which she was elected

of the art and literature committee of
the club at that time, and through her
personality the club quickly assembled
distinguished men and women of this
country and foreign lands as well to
drink tea and discuss the great ques-
tions of the time.
The friendliness of Mrs. Howe, evil
denced in countless ways of which
Madame Severance spoke, and her
great personal charm was well empha-
sized. The Rev. e. Stanton Hodgin
added his need of praise for acts and
deeds accomplished by Mrs. Howe, and
Madame Jenny Twitchell Kempton
concluded the program by singing '"The
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Owing to a severe cold Madame
Kempton was obliged to have the as
siGtance of her daughter, Mrs. Roth
Hamilton whose voice, we'll placed
and sweet, rang out clearly in the
stanzas of the song while the entire
audience Joined in singing the refrain.
Following the program luncheon was
served with q table specially placed
and decorated for the two guests or
honor. Sitting with Madame Sever
ance and Madame Kempton were Miss
Fanny Wills, Mrs. L. A. Croft, a char
+ar member; Mrs. Whitney, Mrs.

The Patient Camel.

The Arabs desire three good things
in camel: 1t must have soft back.
must not require the whip and must
not scream when it gets up or lies
down. In desert lands the camel is
exceedingly valuable. 1t is a riding
steed and rapid one, for camels of
the desert can accomplish distances
and speeds such as no other tame crea-
ture will attempt. 1t is beast of
burden that can carry the heaviest of
loads Besides. the camel supplies its
owner with food and clothing. The
milk mixed with meal is favorite
dish among the children of the desert.
The long hair of the camel is spun
into coarse thread and is used in
the manufacture of cloth. At certain
times Of the year the camel sheds its
hair in order to replace its old coat by
a new one. and the Arabs pluck ii
from the skin without hurting the
camel and use it to make cloth.

Another Secret of Beauty.

Sleep is wonderful beautifier. Moth
ing so rounds out hollows as sound,
healthful sleep, nothing so soothes and
nothing so restores the tissues Of the
tired body as plenty Of natural sleep
in we'll ventilated room, and nothing
is fairer and softer and more peacelike
than the delicate flush on the cheeks
of one who has just stepped out of the
realm of dreams, where all things are
rose colored.
A clever writer says worry is NOR
tai enemy to beauty and charm Of man.
ner This is undeniably true Worry
over the inevitable is not only wrin-
kle inducer and frown instigator, but
it is a senseless and wicked rebellion
against what cannot be helped. Worry
clouds the eyes, makes the voice sharp
and impatient. puts hard lines about
the mouth and destroys repose and
gentleness of manner. Whatever is, is
best. Therefore one would best control
ones feelings and learn as soon as pos
voice and smiles about the mouth will
add much to ones beauty and to ones
circle of friends. A gentle, caressing
touch is rare possession. 1t goes hand
in hand with beauty of character, and
that means tenderness Of heart, purity
Of purpose, honesty of soul and kindli-
ness of thought

Hair Brushing Hints.


Do not use brush to remove tan
giles. This is a too common practice
that is responsible for much of the
badly split hair of the present day.
Remove tangles with comb of
smooth, even teeth, used gently and
regularly, then brush steadily from the
roots down to the very enc of the hair
There are few sealps that are not
benefited by daily brushing for five
minutes. Occasionally, however, when
the hair is fine and delicate or is fall
ing badly, brushing should be omitted
as too severe
Brushing with an unsanitary brush
is worse than nothing. If it is too much
trouble to wash brush after each
using. at least wash it once every two
days.
This Clearly precaution takes but q
few minutes if little ammonia is put
in a basin of water and the brush
dipped into it several times, then into
fresh water. Dry quickly in the sun
and the back is not injured.
Do not economic in your brush buy
ing. Cheap bristles tear the hair and
may injure the scalp. A brush with an
air filed back is advised by many hair
dressers. When the hair is not heavy
a narrow brush. such as is used for
shampooing. is q good choice for daily
brushing, for it is more likely to get
into the scalp.

A SMART TAILORED SUIT.

Women are much interested in the
tailored suit for fall and early winter
wear How is the new tailored suit to
be made? This is the problem. We
have been "hobbled' and tied in until
the limit of discomfort and ugliness
has been reached. SO that it is refresh
ing to hear that lines are to be re-
Taxed and hobble bands discarded
when fashion settles down for the au-
tumn season.
That coats will be short is an estab-
lished fact Skirts will be straight, but
comfortably built OF course many
women will follow the extreme styles
and wear the narrow tied in skirt. but
as rule the new skirt will show a
wider knee girth. The best tailors say
the popular six piece skirt is the one
to be desired and the simplest to make.
This skirt should have heavily welded
seams and be worn short well above
the ankle.
The new tailored suit. according to
accepted lines. is typical model of
what a mannish suit should be-more
so than any that has been worn for
several seasons. Less material Is re-
quired for this suit than for the plated
model. The salesman will tell you to
buy seven yards of double width ma
terial, but this is nearly yard more
than is needed if the material is well
cut The suit illustrated is a smart ex-
ample Of the new tailor made

Squirrel and Pine Cone.

If you wished to strip pine cone
you would probably begin at the top
and have lots of trouble. The squirrel
knows better than that. He does not
prick his fingers or pinch his whiskers
or gnaw into the solid cone any more
than is necessary. He knows better
than to cut off the top and work his
way downward or to gnaw into the
spiny shields. He whirls the cone bot
tom upward in twinkling and then
cuts through the thin and tender bases
Of the scales, soon laying bare the two
seeds, which he at once eats. He strips
it SO easily and quickly that you can
not tell how he does it unless you drive
him off and inspect his unfinished
work.
