South at Exposition

Los Angeles, Nov. 13.-Supervisor
Butler yesterday presented to the
board the recommendation of the Ex-
position Committee of the seven coun-
ties of Southern California, that the
county take not less than 10000
square feet of space at the Panama
Pacific Exposition providing a salts
factory contract can be secured" !"
After the members had been given an
opportunity to free their minds, the
recommendation was unanimously
adopted.
Butler stated that of the $5,OOO,OOO
already voted by the state, the seven
| counties of Southern California will
pay fully $3,OOO,OOO, and we will get
no return whatever from this money
unless an exhibit is placed.
"The present fair commission is not
to blame," said Butler, "but the COM
mission appointed by the governor
to see that the $5,000,OO0 was ju-
dicially expended is OF blame and is
to be severely censured, especially for
permitting $1,0OO,O00 to be spent for
a permanent building in San Fran

ly ever to take, but meanwhile they
can be informed that mercuric bichlo-
ride has no place in the domestic med
icine closet or chest, since it is no
more effective than several safer bac-
teriacides and only in carefully chosen
cases is it's use free from unintended
and highly deleterious effects. And
self-dosing, even with drugs that do
not kill, is evil compared to which an
occasional fatality is socially insig-
nifcant. What it was that Mr.. Levy
intended to take has not been revealed
by his physicians, but in all proba-
bility it was one of the far too popular
"headache cures" every one Of which
is far worse than useless for any 9TH
er purpose than the immediate stop
ping of pain. They do that, but at a
dreadful cost in deadened nerves,
weakened hearts, and vitiated blood.
They never "cure" anything except a
symptom.

BAN ON TAKING VINE
ORDERS IN DRY TERRITORY

Sacramento, Nov 13-Arguments
on the validity of the ordinance passed
by the supervisors of Los Angeles
county prohibiting the soliciting of
orders for liquor in "dry" districts,
were made before the supreme court
today.
The case came up on application Of
John Coombs Of Lamanda Park, man
ager of the Sierra Madre Vintage
Company, for writ of hobeas corpus.
Coombs was arrested for taking an
order to deliver wine in "dry" terri.
tory.
The case is of prime interest to wine
men. The petitioner was represented
by Attorneys Byron C. Hanna and
Charles w. Lyon Of Los Angeles, re-
tanned by the Southern California VII
ticultural Association.
Percy V. Harmon, deputy district
attorney of Los Angeles county, and
A. J. Hill, county counsel, represented
Los Angeles county.
They defended the ordinance on the
ground that it is valid exercise of the
police power Of the board of supervis-
ors, and maintained that it is not in
conflict with state laws. They contend
ed that if a county can prohibit sale
of liquor it can prohibit solicitation
Of orders.
Winery men declare the ordinance
menaces the wine industry of Califor-
MIA, is in conflict with the public pol
icy of the state and therefore unrea-
sonable.
They point out that thousands of
dollars have been spent by the state
teaching the cultivation of wine
grapes and wine making. They also
cited the creation Of the State VIII
cultural Commission.
1t is contended the legislature has
provided a complete method of local
option applicable to counties and that
no other method is authorized.
Coombs' attorneys argued that the
ordinance discriminates against pro-
ducts manufactured in Los Angeles
county and against grapes grown
there.
1t will be several months before
decision is handed down.
Los Angeles county was granted
thirty days in which to file brief of
authorities, while the winery attor-
aeys were allowed thirty days more in
which to file reply.

Learned from Poisoning

New York Times: Notable for the
attention it has happened to attract
far more than for its rarity or any
unusualness of circumstances, the
case of Isaac Levy, the latest victim
of mistaking bichloride of mercury
for headache remedy, yet very desir
ably emphasizes several pressing
needs. Hardly the most important of
them, though the one that has been
most discussed and can most easily
be met, is the need that this and SINH
lar poisons should be made distin-
guishable from other drugs in COM
mon domestic use and with closer
approach to certainty than is given by
putting them in boxes or bottles
marked poison" That alone ought
to be sufficient, and for the properly
cautious it is, but experience has
shown that considerable numbers of
people, especially when suffering from
acute pain, will seek and take medicine
in the dark, when labels cannot be
read. 1t therefore has been suggested
many times that the more virulent
poisons should always be sold in con-
tainers of special form, used exclusive
ly for the purpose, and that all high
poisonous tablets be made of pecu-
liar shape, so that warning may be
given to fingers as we'll as eyes. This
is good advice, and few manufactur-
ing chemists have followed it to some
extent In this country, however, nc
legal compulsion has yet been eXer-
cised along these lines, and no agree
ment reached as to the forms to bs
used. And nothing like perfect pro
lection can thus be given. That will
be attained only when people all exer'
else more caution than they seem like,

Device to Warn
Engineer in Cab
(By United Press Associations)

(By United Press Associations)
Cleveland, o., Nov. 13.-Seven years
ago Carl Buhl, then nineteen, wit
messed railroad wreck. An engineer
of a switch engine had asked tower
man whether a certain passenger
train had passed that point. He was
informed it had, and pulled his engine
onto the track. A few minutes later
the engineer was dead, a passenger
train was wrecked, and several other
lives We're lost in the collision. The
tower man had made mistake. Today
Carl Buhl, electrician and inventor,
has perfected what he believes to be
the one complete, most important rail
road signalling and safety device in
existence. His invention, he claims,
flashes danger signals before the en-
gineer's eyes right in the engine cab
hence fog or other bad weather
conditions will not interfere with the
engineer getting all signals.
An ingenious contact device is the
key to the invention. In explaining
his device Buhl shows a miniature To-
comotive on a miniature track. A
white light burns in the engineers
cab as long as the track is clear for
three "blocks" ahead. Another train
on the track within that distance
causes a contact which shows a green
light in the cab. Within three blocks
of any break in the rails the contact
flashes a red light in the cab. If for
some reason the lights should not
work, bell rings automatically.
Perhaps the most valuable part of
the invention is seen when the engi-
neer dies or falls unconscious at his
post. If such is the case, and the red
or green light shows, the brakes are
automatically thrown on when the
train enters the last block. Buhl has
worked for seven years on the inven-
ton, and is seeking recognition from
the railroads. He is considering
placing his invention before members
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

Railroads Ready for Traffic

Los Angeles, Nov. 13-All railroads
entering Los Angeles and those which
operate direct cars from eastern points
to this city via local lines, have made
arrangements to improve and increase
their service at once in order to handle
the heavy tourist travel to Southern
California this winter. Never before
has there been such a general ex-
pansion of passenger service here
Several lines simultaneously will add
to their service next Sunday.
A new daily tourist car service
from Chicago to Los Angeles will be
inaugurated at that time by the Salt
Lake Union Pacific Chicago and
Northwestern lines. 1t is estimated
to accommodate those intending to
past the winter here who desire to
travel second class and to come
through without changing cars.
The Southern Pacific next Sunday
will start daily service on the Sun
set Limited train, which has beer
run weekly between Los Angeles ano
New Orleans, and clips sixteen hours
and ten minutes off the running
time between the two ports. This
Improvement means that nine trains
will be required. The running time
will be fifty-eight hours thirty-five
minutes instead of seventy-four
hours forty-five minutes as at
present.
A decided change in local train
schedule takes place Sunday on the
Southern Pacific system. The new
Phoenix sleeper will leave Los An
geles at p. m. and shorten the run
ming time to the Arizona city one
hour and forty minutes, arriving there
at 6:35 a. m. An Imperial Valley
local train will be added, leaving Los
Angeles at II p. m. and arriving at
Calexico at 1885 a. m. Yuma, Tucson,
Benson, Lordsburg, Deming, Ell Paso
and intermediate points will get the
DcICllO VI CIlC ilCW ueliy ouiloCC lIilil-
tied service. An additional motor
train will be put in service to Santa
Ana making two trains each way
daily.
The Rock Island Southern Pacific
Golden State Limited train will bring
Chicago three hours closer to Los
Angeles and travel over the El Paso
and Southwestern rails from Tucson
eastward, thus affording a new and
direct route from Los Angeles to
Douglas, Bisbee, Naco, Tombstone,
thus eliminating change of cars at
Tucson.
The Santa Fe de luxe train be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago, will
be inaugurated December for the
advance guard of the weather
tourists.

BULGARS THREATEN TO
RESUME WAR ON GREEK S

Constantine Stephanove, Sofia,
Bulgaria, Nov 13-Bulgaria has sent
through the French legation an ulti
matum to Greece demanding:
l. That persecution Of Bulgarians
in Macedonia cease.
2. That autonomous rights be ac
corded to Bulgarian churches in
Macedonia such as they enjoyed un-
der Turkish rule.
3. Permission for Macedonian Bull
garians who fled from the reign of
terror to return unmolested to their
homes.
4. That all Bulgarian prisoners in
Gfeece be released and that all
prisoners of war be allowed to re-
turn to Bulgaria.
The ultimatum, which is couched
in strong language and which places
limit of eight days for its accept
| ance, has created CONSERVATION in
| the foreign embassies here, where it
was imagined that Bulgaria was too
exhausted by war to venture to in
sist upon what it deems to be it's
rights.
1t is regarded as certain that the
treaty of Bucharest will soon be ro
more than so much blank paper War
between Turkey and Greece is be-
lieved by the Bulgarians to be un.
avoidable. Albania also is a source
of uneasiness to its neighbors. In a
word the alleged injustices of the
Balken settlement and the heart
burnings Of powerful elements con-
cerned in it threaten a renewal of
hostilities throughout the peninsula.
Greece still holds nearly one-half
the 5000 prisoners of war taken from
Bulgaria. Those who have reached
home accuse Greece soldiers of many
brutalities. Last June they seized
every Bulgarian in Saloniki, includ-
ing the head of the Bulgarian church,
bank and postoffice officials and
rushed them on cattle boats to Greece.
On the way to the sea, it is as
serted, many We're bayoneted, and
when the boats sailed many more, by
order of the superior officers, were
thrown overheard. Bishop Eulogius
and several Bulgarian officials in the
course of the voyage were scalded
with boiling water, it is charged, and
finally cast into the sea, their bodies
being riddled with bullets.
Major La2are, commandant of the
Bulgarian garrison in Saloniki on
behalf of himself and men, has sent
telegram to Premier Venizilos in
Athens, protesting against outrages,
which he says. We're perpetrated by
Greeks on Bulgarian officers, SOL
diers, officials, private citizens and
prisoners or war.
"We were robbed of everything we
possessed the telegram read, "cast

tortured in every way our captors
could invent. We who escaped are

"it pays To ADVERTISE" was borne out
