The unpunctual guest is the terror of the
hostess unless she has the means and IN
clination to cross the palm of each SER
want OF the house with gold. In that case
a degree of laziness will be tolerated
which. if member of the family were con-
cerned would be met with threats of de-
parture. Not every procrastinating guest is
rich however, and when of the i'm
pecunious or grudging ones arrives by
train later than the one upon which she
was expected II is the signal for rebellion.
From the moment she enters the door
until her departure the mistress of the
household is i'm a state of continual un-
easiness lest the delinquent shall not be
well served, or that a domestic crisis will
be precipTtated. Why cold breakfasts, and
rooms not done up promptly, do not in
time reveal to the procrastinators TIT
they are upsetting a household and de-

.EVICT 100 UNEMPLOYED
FROM UNUSED CHURCH
Police Force Manchester Poor to
Quit Lodging Place

MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. 4.-Over
one hundred unemployed men were
this week evicted from disused
church which they had seized.
The church, known as st. Martins,
stands in German street. 1t has been
closed for two or three years and there
has been some talk of demolishing 1t.
The unemployed had held a meeting
in the center of the town and marched
in a body to the church. The police
tried to head them off, but could not
prevent the men entering the building.
A meeting was held inside and during
the night the pews were used as rest
ing places. One of the leaders warned
the men that any one of them using
bad language would be sent away.
The men smoked their pipes freely
and made themselves as comfortable
as the circumstances permitted. The
next morning the police received in
structions from the agent of the owner
of the property to turn the men out.
This was done without any trouble,
the men scrambllng over the pews
and other church furniture in their
hurry to get away from the officers.

CAR AND WAGON CRASH;
WOMAN'S LEG FRACTURED
Vehicle Is Wrecked by Collision
and Seven Occupants Are
Bruised

Seven persons were hurled from a
wagon at Mozart street and Avenue 20
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when a Pacific Electric car crashed
into it. Only one of the party suf-
fered serious injury. Mrs Rosie Bu-
Golf of 654 Lamar street incurred a
fracture of her right leg and severe
bruises. Eyewitnesses of the accident
said that the escape of the other MEM
bers of the party was remarkable, as
the wagon was smashed beyond re-
pair.
Mr. and Mrs. Bucolf, their two chill
dren; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Luzetti and
J. Puccolar were in the wagon when
the collision occurred. All were thrown
into the street. The car was running
at high speed and struck the vehicle
Just as the horses cleared the track.
The Bucolf children-Mary, aged Q,
and Victor, aged 4-were the first to
get up.
Unhurt and seemingly unfrightened
by the accident, they toddled to were
their mother lay moaning near the
track. The others, who escaped with
bruises, also hurried to Mrs. Bucolf's
assistance. She was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where the broken leg
was set. For a long time the chill
dren could not be persuaded to leave
her. 1t was with difficulty that they
were kept away from the operating
table.
The minor injuries of the other
adults in the party were attended to
in the receiving hospital and they were
sent to their homes. Those in the
wagon blamed the street car crew for
running at high speed approaching the
crossing. The car men insisted that
Bucolf did not use due caution in ap-
proaching the crossing.

GOOD CHORUS IS VITAL
TO PLAY, SAYS GIRARD
Director of Bankers Show De-
CIares Life of Performance
Depends on Them

Harry Glrard. who has had expert
ence as singer, actor, director, conduc-
tor. teacher and composer, and, col
laborating with Joseph Blethen Of
Seattle, wrote the Maid of Mana
lay" believes a good chorus girl is as
vital to the success of a play as a
star. Recently, while directing re-
hearsal of the production for the
bankers show, he said:
1.-The chorus is the brain Of modern
musical comedy. 1 had rather be an
intelligent chorus man or girl than
the biggest star that ever lived. Take
a poor churus In Mile. Modiste,' with
the greatest star of the day and the
show is dead. Remember this and put
your brains into all you do. You are
the life and color of the whole show"
That is merely a sample of how
Girard works to get his results, but
anyone who happens to be near to
watch the effect upon the bank boys
and Angeleno girls In the chorus
knows that it means one of the best
shows, barring none, that has ever
been presented locally.
Girard will also drill the chorus
members in all the dances, one Of
which is big hornpipe, and will re-
hearse the orchestra. He will conduct
the orchestra and direct the entire
performance of the bankers show dur
ing the week of September 26.
At the outset of his musical career,
Girard was a boy singer in church
choir. He suffered a complete loss Of
voice and for many years, devoted
himself to instrumental work, his ia
vorite being the organ. At 19 he was
seized with a longing to sing again
and went to New York, but received
no announcement. He devoted two
years to hospital work for the pur-
pose of studying the physiology Of
voice. He was a pupil of Herbert
Santley and of Arthur Harrington,
and after years of hard work, suc-
ceeded in developing the hig baritone
voice that he used to advantage as a
singer in light opera and musical
comedy.
After his success in the original
Dolly Warden" company, he settled
down to teaching in Seattle for
time and 1t was there that he became
acquainted with Joseph Blethen, vice
president and manager of the Seattle
Times. The two men collaborated in
the production of "The Alaskan" and
again in the Maid of Manalay."
Girard plans to devote his time to
teaching and developing as large a
share as he can of the talent to be
found in Southern California. In addi-
ton, he promises a new opera or mu-
steal comedy each year-no more-for
he says it is a crime for man to
grind out musical productions me-
chanically Composing gives him
great pleasure, but his chief delight
is directing the producing of pretty
pictures to carry out the idea of the
music
