 LOS ANGELES. Jan. so-In the inn posing brick court house that perches on a grassy hill here. a serious faced district attorney was trying to send to the gollaws Mrs. Louise Peete in the event that she was found guilty of the murder of Jacob Denton, a wealthy mining man, whose body was found buried in an earth vault beneath his mansion.
 Some 40 blocks away in a big back yard. "Raggedy Ann" was being threat ened with immediate destruction by little Betty Peete. beautiful year old child of the defendant.
 ''Raggedy Ann" had been so thought less as to tumble from a fence, where she had been perched into tub of wa ter.
 "Raggedy Ann. you must sit right mp straight and be a good girl" she was saving aloud to 0 cunning rag doll

 e9 In 100, Her Theory
 As for her work with the girls af- f1icted with the silver screen bacillus, Mr. Gilbert says she operates on the theory that in 99 cases out of 100 home is the best place for a girl under q years of age.
 "Of course, the girl doesn't always agree with that" she said smiling, but it is true, nevertheless Especial ly she doesn't agree with it when somewhere around 15 or 16 or even younger, usually. and has saved and slaved to get money enough to come out here. At a certain period in her life every girl is almost certain to be stage struck. At least she used to be stage struck in my girlhood. Nowadays she is screen struck. Her dresser mir TOT is decorated with moving picture stars and staresses and the first thing you know a little disagreement with her mother or a harsh word from her father or a little neglect from the boy she fancies she's in love with, and it's all over. She's through with home forever and ever and she's going to so right straight to Los Angeles and get into the movies and make the folks at home sorry for the way they've treated ber.
 And After That
 "So she scrambles the railroad fare together in some way or another, and after that-our work begins.
 "Why, just recently I was busy working at my desk when heard g great sobbing in the anteroom. I went out to see what it was all about, and there at the table sat a girl with her head down on her arms sobbing a: though she could never stop. l went over and put my hand on her shoul- | der and asked her what the trouble was. and at last I was able 10 make out the words, T wanta mother; oh dear, wants mother
 Later I had all of her story. Her home was in Seattle, and few months ago her mother had died. The girl was only Is, but she was not happy al home without her mother and made uT her mind that the movies needed her !

LOS ANGELES--If ever any city in the world had need of a city mother it is Los Angeles
 Now. in California. 1t has grown t0 he a municipal habit to make cities as perfect as possible. Therefore, Los Angeles. needing a mother, has mother.
 She is Mrs. Aletha Gilbert. and she has motherly. buxom figure, head Of soft white hair. and, oh, pre-emi- nentiy to be desired attribute Of all mothers. be they municipal or mere family parents. an understanding heart.
 About her spacious office. with it's soft brown rugs and it's soft brown walls there runs wide wooden plate rail- on which. at intervals there re- pose item: A calico dressed baby faced dou holding out wistful arms; item: A plump, brown Teddy bear. also with invitational arms item: A toy ele- phant of gray canton flannel with humorous trunk: item: A cosy white rabbit with shoe button eyes and delightful nose which looks as though it were holding back with effort an incipient. real rabbit twinkle.
 An Unconscious Appeal
 The girls to whom Mrs. Aletha Gil- bert is mother is far beyond the age Z st which they would hold forth recip- pfocal arms of hanging to the baby doll or the Teddy bear, or look with desire on the gray flannel elephant or the coz rabbit. But the wisdom of the woman who put those animals there is excellent. They induce a mood. They take you baok-even if the taking re- main in the darkest corner of your subconsciousness-to the days when doll babies and Teddy bears and ele- plants and rabbits were the sum to- tai of rapture. Childhood and inno- cence come flooding back to you at the wight of that infantile menagerie. And after that you can't be very con- sistent sinner with the city mother right there to make you see the evil of your ways.
 Mrs. Gilbert's official title Is City Mother. and she works in co-opera- Ltton with the police department; but lwhereas it is the function of the po- Ilce department to detect and to pun Ish crime, it is the self-appointed func- tion of Mrs. Gilbert and her assistant mother. Mrs. Deane Harris, to pre- vent eviidoing on the part of Los An geles girls.
 Preventive Measures
 The city mother does not say that her office came into being because of the need for it which was created by the influx of the moving picture aspirants. But she does say that much of the work of her own office consists ln comforting jobless young things of the sub-deb type. finding rooms for hem, finding work for them in some thing less romantic but more remuner- Ative than the pictures. sending them back home. or even preventing an oc- casional tragedy.
 The office of city mother is Mrs CiIberts own idea. She was the sec ond jail matron that Los Angeles evei had and later she went into juvenile court work, handling all of the gir cases. "I realized then" she says, "th'
