LOS ANGELES. Aug. l7-(United
press).- Despite the fact that
many gay girls from all parts of
the country come 10 Hollywood
seeking a butterfly life in the
movies. police reports show that
remarkable few of them get into
trouble with the law.
During the past year only ten
girls have become eases for the
local board of charities and correc-
iions.
Probably 30 or 80 girls n year are
taken int ocustody by the Juvenile
department but many of these
eases come about not because the
girl has gone wrong but because
her parents have asked that she
be held until they could arrange to
bring her back home.
-Four wears ago the number of
girls who went wrong or were iuve-
nile cases was much higher, officials
state. During the latter part of
1918, and during 1919 and 1920,
approximately $50 girls week
came 70 Los Angeles and Hollywood
movie casting directors estimate.
Movie Life Gay Then
Movie life was much gayer then
that was before Fatty Arbuckle S
arrest, the Staying of William
Desmond Taylor and the appoint
IN. Vt of Will II. Hays to the post
Of movie mentor. Girls fell in with
a wilder crowd, and were subject
to more improper advances by
various men connected with the
studios, police matrons state.
Now, according to the Hollywood
/ Y. W. c. A. the service bureau
which hires the extras, and pro.
minent casting directors, not more
than Il half dozen new faces appear
/ at the studio wiekets each week
and most of the girls who do come
are serious minded, have a fair ide9
of the hardships they must endure
The problem of girls under agt
is the big one, all sources agree
One big studio has each extra sigr

We Knew It Was
Hot, But List

EXtinguishing fire in al
ice delivery truck was the IN
usual sensation for members of
the El Centre fire department
yesterday afternoon.
A short circuit in one of til
trucks Of the Imperial Ice and
Development company caused
insulation on the wiring to
shoulder while the truck was
travelling down Broadway, and
stampeded the driver into send
ing in an alarm. There was
considerable smoke but little
fire about the truck. The fire
men dumped the contents CT a
hand extinguisher where it
would do the most good there
by saving the truck and its
precious cool cargo from de-
struction.
Tt was q nice cool fire for

made only after careful investiga-
tion as to property values in Mexi-
cali.
No Offer of $4,000
Ira Aten, president of the dis
triet, who was a spectator in court,
stated emphatieally after the hear
ing, that no offer of $4,000 has
been made for the property. as was
inferred in the complaint made by
Mccall.
Harry W. Horton, counsel for
Mccall, characterized the action of
the district directors in accepting
Pratt's offer, as deliberate
breach of the trust imposed in them
by the public and stated lie could
not understand why men of the
personal character of the board
members could come into court and
fight for the privilege of losing
$4,000 Of the peoples money.
"Were they acting in their own
behalf as individuals, said' Hor-
ton, "they would be scrambling
over each other in an attempt to
obtain as much as they possibly
could for the property. but they
fail TO show such solicitude when
acting in behalf of the people"
He considered the action of the
directors no less than a fraud on
the people of $1,000 although he

the directors as individuals.
All Parties Represented
Both attorneys cited numerous
eases where the facts were the same
as in the present action, Attorney
Childers in an attempt to show that
the court was without jurisdiction
in the matter of the sale, and that
the decision of the directors was
final; Will Attorney Horton en-.
deavored to prove that the rights OF
the people demanded that they
should be protected at all times,
eren if it were necessary to reseind
action taken by their officials, and
that the action of the district of
ficials in accepting 4 less sum OF
money than they could get for the
property in question should be SET
aside by the court.
Pratt was represented at the
hearing by Charles E. Scott, who
called the attention Of the court TO
the wording of the application for
an Injunction, believing that the
court was Of the impression that an
offer of $4,000 and one of $4,000
had been received simultaneously
and that the directors had dcliber-
atelv chosen the lesser sum.
Judge Cole said this was not his
impression and he understood i is
merely claimed $4,000 could be OBJ
tanned for the property.
