OIL TURNS BUNGALOWS
 INTO OFFICE BUILDINGS

LONG BEACH, Cal, March 12-Oil booms have an expansive way about them, often creating capitalists over night. The Signal Hill oil boom here has made office buildings out of bunga- lows in as short time.
 Gushers in this field happened to break out in the midst of group of pretentious residences, mostly of the bungalow type. The resultant down. pour of petroleum ruined them as resi- dences, but opened up to them a new field of usefulness as office buildings for oil companies.
 As a consequence, it would be hard to find an oil field with offices as commodious and home-like as those which house oil companies in the Sig nal Hill field. Internationally import ant oil corporations, as well as little one-well outfits, transact their busi- ness in bedrooms, kitchens and other domestic apartments remodeled as of fices.

GHOSTS HAUNT DRIFTS
 IN CALIFORNIA MINE

EUREKA, Utah, March Histories circulate here from time to time of ghosts in the underground workings of the Tintic Standard mine and the latest is that the specter of Q child dressed in white frock and white shoes has appeared in the drifts deep in the bowels of the earth.
 The miner, as a rule, is a supersti- tious individual, and officials of the Tintic Standard scoff at the idea of spooks in their mine. On one occa- sion recently miners came to the sur face with reports that a ghost had been seen. Investigation developed nothing and belief was expressed that what they really saw was one of their number at work clad only in his un- dergarm ents.
 An old Mexican miner of Eureka often tells of the time he and other workers saw a ghost of a small boy. It first appeared when the men were d sAA 'NS and efforts to capture the spectre were without result.
 Another ghost story revolves around a miner who was fatally injured while at work This spook is described as a social disposition, for miners say it rides down in the cage and then dis appears in the drifts.
 In an Oklahoma stope several years ago, thirteen miners died as a result of a cavein. Survivors told of the ap- partition of a black dog which dashed back and forth supposedly to warn the workers of approaching danger. In connection with this disaster there is supposed to be the specter of wom- an, attired in black, who patrols the path from the scene of the mishap to the undertaking parlors where the bodies of the dead miners were taken.

URGES REMEDIES
FOR TRAFFIC ILLS
Board of Trade Committee
Includes Additional Judges
Among Immediate Needs.

Additional Police Court Judges for
the Traffic Court, an impounding
law for autos parked overtime, city
owned police automobiles and motor
cycles, traffic officers paid by the city
and not by street car companies, ana
modern equipment to regulate traftic
are some of the yitally important
needs to keep pace with the traffic
conditions in Washington, according
to decisions reached yesterday after
noon at meeting of the special SUD-
committee on traffic of the Washing
ton Board of Trade. w. Pearce Ray
ner. chairman of the committee, pre-
sided.
For Enlarged Traffic Court.
In regard to the Traffic Court the
committee is of the opinion that
enough judges should be PROVIDED SO
that the court would be able to keep
session" from o'clock in the moTH tis
ing until 10 o'clock at night. In thlS
way policemen making arrests could
take cases directly to court. Inc
committee also urges that judges IN
thfs court be paid not less than S5'ouu
per year,
An impounding law would not only
cut down parking violations, in the
opinion of the committee, but would
he an adequate reminder to the Vlolator.
The proposed law would allow the police
to remove or chain. so that ii could not
move, any car violating parking regu--
Iations. The owner on returning woulq
have to 70 to a precinct station to get
the key to the lock on his car.
Would Eliminate Fixed Allowance.
The committee believes that the fixed
allowance for policemen operating cars
or motor cycles in the line of duty
should be done away with and that the
cars and motor cycles should he garaged
and repaired at the expense OF the city.
The allowance for policemen running
Ford cars at the present time. 1t was
pointed out, does not provide for more
than twenty miles per day, and the com
mittee believes that provision should
be made so that the men could run any
mileage that was necessary. without
extra expense TO themselves, in the per-
formance of their duties.
The question of the street car COM
panies paying the salaries Of traffic
policemen was discussed from every
angle. il was the consensus of the COM
mittee that these men should be paid
by the city and not by the railway COM
panies.
The committee urges that all modern
equipment be provided for the regula-
ton of traffic. New ideas in traffic in
force in other cities should he watched
and applied. whenever practicable, TO
