Board

Los Angeles. Cal.-HOlding that an
individual standing on the running
board of an automobile for hire,
though he has not paid his fare, is
passenger within the meaning of the
law and entitled TO protection, the
state Supreme court affirmed the judg-
ment Of $3.50 against w. It. Davies in
the action brought by John Ivancich
for damages on account of injuries re-
ceived In an accident at San Pedro,
when the plaintiff was riding on a jit-
ney bus conducted by Mr.. Davies.
The machine was crowded and Mr..
Ivancich got on the running-board, In
tending 10 pay his fare at the end of
the journey. 1t was asserted by the
defense that, under the circumstances,
Mr.. Ivancich was not a passenger
within the purview of the law, but
the court held against the contention.

the best, brief description of the
big idea in the excruciatingly
funny story told in LeComte and
Flesher's musical comedy high
spot, Some Girl, the writer can
suggest. The worm in this
case is a deliciously demure,
dainty little fishermaide2 whose
feminine instincts, disclosing her
lovers plot to test of her love
for him, enables her to outwit
the conspirators and counter-plot
with exceeding embarrassments,
to all concerned but herself. Of
course, in the end, the lovers are
happy, but the little lady had
heaps and heaps OF fun before
she relented and agreed to an
armistice.
This is said to be one of the
most novel themes yet employed
in this type of play and lends a
delightfully."- refreshing spirit to
the usual hackneyed, musical-
comedyical plots at the last dec
ade.
