impelline reasons for Secretary Dan
iel's appointment Of an advisory
board was the desire 70 have a BODY
OF experts at hand for conservation on
this plan OF governmental building
President Wilson, II Is known, has
been assured by Congressional lead
ers that a $500, 100000 program Of de,
fense rehabilitation will go through
Congress provided that program
takes. a new course. The group OF
Congressmen who have heretofore
fought defense bills because OF the
huge profits they gave TO the armor
plate and powder trusts would give
full support to a plan for govern
ment plants for manufacture or ar
NOR and powder Letting OF contracts
TO either OF these trusts or the big
shipbuilding companies for a huge
naval building program would line the
group up with the little navy ad-
vocates and seriously endanger the
naval program.
One further factor which, it is
said has led the President and Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels 10
agree on a governmental building
program is the fact that the United
States i'm this event need not turn
over secret sof construction TO private
firms.
Exactly how the defense appropria-
tion shall be diyided-how many sub
marines, battle cruisers. dostroyers,
etc, shall be constructed in the navy;
how many field guns or wnat nature,
etc, shall be built for the army-is
something over which Daniels, Garri-
son and the President are working
now But Il is authoritatively learn
ed that no matter how the admins
tration determines 10 spend the
money. large part of IL will bo for
supplies and implements OF war made
by government plants.

announced this morning. Since the
passage of the bonds, numerous bond
Luying concerns have attested inter-

colt, city clerk, to determine the de-
tails connected with the sale of the
bonds.
The inquiries have come from nu-
merous bond-buying concerns. Queries
have been received from concerns, not
only on the Pacific coast, but from
prospective buyers in the East.
More than 4 month must elapse be-
fore definite information is given out

Woodrow Wilson is not merely a

the exponent and chosen defender of
American ideals. He speaks for each

HOSPITAL ZONE TO
BE POSTED SOON

Although the Hospital Zone which
recently became definite geographic
cal location under an enactment by
the city council, is bounded by lines
which are now invisible, the limits of
the zone will soon be designated in a
manner which will make them diff
cult to be overlooked.
The posts, similar to the ones which
now stand on the main traffic cor
ners, are being constru ed now and
with their completion will be stationed
in the hospital zone. The posts will
bear the caption;
Hospital Zone. Close Your Muf-
fler"
"Some of the residents in the hos
pital zone have objected to the placing
of the posts warning automobilists,"
Mayor Swanson said this morning.
Some of the property owners have
declared that the erection Of the posts
declaring a hospital zone will depre-
ciate the value of property in that dis
trict,' he continued.
The matter of placing the posts in
the zone has been fixed by the city
council and it is probable they will be
ready for placing in the zone within
a short time

CHIEF OF POLICE
EXPLAINS ORDINANCE

although the city police department
has often been censured because Of
the fact that the ordinance governing
the automobile muffler nuisance is not
more vigorously enforced, there is an
other angle to the question of which
few persons are aware" Chief of Po-
lice Egerer said this morning.
"Primarily the city cannot afford to
enlarge its police force to enforce am
observance of the muffler ordinance
for this reason" he continued.
"A city police officer may arrest a
violator Of the muffler ordinance and
hale him before magistrate. Thus
far the city has borne the cost of ar
resting the man, but with the placing
of the case in court it becomes a coun-
ty matter, the proceeds of which re-
vert to the state.
"Manifestly the city is paying for
the arrest Of a yolator whose fine
benefits the state and for which the
city gets nothing.
"An addition to the city police force
would imply an additional expense
with no possibility of aid toward the
maintenance of the added force
through the fines of violators of tina.
particular ordinance.
"The city officers are doing every
thing they can to stop the nuisance"
he declared, "but the city force is !
small one to patrol all parts of the
city in search of violators of the muf
1ler ordinance.
"The fact that the city does get
nothing for the arrest Of drivers who
neglect to close their mufflers does
not deter the officers from arresting
offenders and whenever a violation
comes under the observation of city
officer, the offender is taken into Gus
today"

Especial Correspondence


Los Angeles, June 10.-Handicraft,
including everything from the nobbi-
est of summer millinery to an auto
mobile truck; from a photograph gal,
lery to a steam launch and collec-
ton of unique jewelry and brass work,
will give testimony to the versatility
of the Los Angeles school students
at the Juvenile Exposition to be held
here beginning June 10 under the
auspices of the board of education and
the Million Club.
The exhibition and entertainments
will continue for months. All city
schools from the kindergarten classes
to the junior colleges will be repre-
sented and special attention will be
given to the constructive school work.
The school maids will seek to quar-
ify as full-fledged milliners and with
nimble, capable fingers they are bus
lily engaged just now in the creation
of marvellous and exquisite styles in
summer headwear, which bid fair to
rival the costly imported creations
that are worn by many Angelenos.
Among the other exhibitions attest
ing to the skill of the school pupils
will be a smelling furnace construct
ed by the Hollywood students and a
four-room bungalow, which will be
completely furnished by the handiwork
of the boys and girls. Moving pic

their various exhibits are being taken
Under the direction of Rob Wagner at
