 s4sao4 Vi. !, Trusn B1flal tl Paupcr's Grave.

Los Angles. Feb. 1 LRrAlthougl, Dr. William D. Duane, scientist and poet, who spent his life and several small fortunes in the discovery of new and exotic perfumes, died pen- niless. his fear of a pauper's grave has proved grounGless.
 During his last days friends said Dr. Duane came to fear a death in the poverty in which he did not hesitate to face in his world wide pursuit of new and delicate odors.
 The fear was dispelled just be- fore he died yesterday, when Colleen Moore film actress and one of many prominent women for whom he was said to have originated special per fumes: said she would sec he was given proper funeral and burial.
 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, was said to have been the recipient of gift of perfume by Dr. Duane.

STUDEbAkERS ON 1 DISPLAY AT SHOW
President and Commander Are
 Features

Few announcements made by mo- tor car manufacturers within re- cent years have more significance to the motor' car owner than Stude bakers statement that all Studebaker and Erskine models may be driven 40 miles an hour the day they are delivered. The Albro Motor Sales Co.,, local Studebaker- Erskine dealer, explains the situa- tion as follows:
 Tn the first place, lifting the old ban on immediate speed has in- creased ten-fold the pleasure Of driving a new car. When Q new owner gets into his Studebaker or Erskine he can experience at once the thrill of flashing performance without fear that he is injuring the motor. Ordinarily the owner of . new car has to plod through 500 tedious miles at 20 or o5 miles an hour before he can really enjoy the performance he has bought. But there is 8 deeper significance to Studebaker's new policy than just the pleasure of stepping on the accelcrator and feeling the car jump ahead. The fact that Stude- bakers and Erskines can be called on to do their stuff immediately on delivery is a high tribute to Stakeholder manufacturing
 The Studebaker Straight Eight and the world champion Commander are exhibited at the auto show in the Stanley arena. The company will also have a Straight Eight on display in the lobby of. the Burrit. notel.
 Since it's recent reorganization the Albro Motor Sales company has I increased its sales materially, or ders for January being more than twice that of last year. Business has
 increased to such an extent that the company is having an addition made to its show rooms.

 More Red Lights Planned
 For adding to the red light system $750 is asked. Chief Hart said 1t ie planned to add six each year until the city is covered. It was estimated that 60 lights would be needed but it is probable that few less will answer the purpose, the chief said.
 For street lines $1,200 is asked. Chairman Chamberlain said he still believes the public works depart ment should attend to street lines in their entirety. On the whole, the lines are we'll kept up. he said.
 For police signal boxes. $55o k asked. The board has in mind new boxes at Corbin avenue and Shuttle Meadow avenue; Clinton street and Corbin avenue; East street and City avnue.
 Police to Wear Guns Outside
 Chairman Chamberlain explained that the board plans to have the patrolmen carry their firearms out side their uniforms.
 Inasmuch as this would necessi- tate an expenditure for a belt and a lock on the holster, the commission CT felt that the city should stand the expenses. The lock on the holster cannot be opened except by some one familiar with it's operation. and in the opinion of the commissioners the new equipment would be de- cided improvement. Wearing fire arms on the outside is rapidly be. coming the custom throughout the country, Chairtnah Chamberlain said.
 New traffic signals are needed al several points about the city, Chair. man Chamberlain said. They cost approximately $75o each, installed and an appropriation of $2,000 k asked.
 Three new motorcycles at a ne1 cost of $500 are needed. and s$SOf is asked for an automobile for the detective bureau. At present tho service car is used for investigation: when possible and the detectives sometimes use their private cars Chairman Chamberlain said. 1t i. felt that the city should provide ! transportation for the detectives or department work,
 Clothing Allowance
 An allowance of $50 per man amounting to $500, for clothing, i. asked and Chairman Chamberlain said the commissioners feel that tn, cost of clothing should be shared b. the city. In some instances he ap pearance of the policemen would b, improved greatly if the clothing al lowance materialized. he pointed out. Policemen are required to hav' uniforms and civilian clothing ant the cost is heavy.
 l Next year we will be expected t, provide an allowance for the fire mems clothing" Commissioner Abb, remarked.

police building IS Tn poor condition.
 The court room and the patrol mems room are in need of atten- ton and the stairs a,e also in bad shape.

 Relative to telephones, Chairman i Chamberlain said he did not care to comment because his ideas along the line of paying for telephones in police officers homes do not jibe with the chiefs views. 'Do you want to speak on telephones, chief?" Chairman Chamberlain asked. No, not any more than is neces- sary," Chief Hart replied.

.LON CHANEY ARRIVES
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT
 "OUT5 SIDE THE LAW

In his remarkable portrayal in "Out. side the Law, which is now at the Liberty theatre, Lon Clancy attracted the attention of the world and estab. lished himself as a great character actor. His amazing mastery of facil makeup, is strikingly exhibited in Outside the Law" in which he plays two distinct roles, with astonishing skill
 The story of Chaney's uncanny abili- fty to convey meanings by means Of the most natural attitudes and ges- lures goes back to his childhood, for the reculor circumstances of his early life compelled him to become an ex- pert pantominist before he began to talk
 His parents were deaf mutes, and the language of the house was the tongueless but eloquent language of pantomine. When the little boy want ed to express an idea, he had 10 show" it. When the earliest ond crudest motion pictures were flicker ing their way to public favor and be- fore Lon was aware of the existance of the cinema, he had already become adept in the art of the screen, for his family life was a silent drama, pure and simple, and it was the most natural thing in the world that his outward being should take on the semblance of every passing mood and thought.
 With all his early preparation, Chaneys path to fame was not paved with velvet. Indeed he experienced an unusually long and arduous climb before he gained recognition. Start ing as an extra at $500 a day, he grad ually worked his way.
 In the Miracle Man" he was cast as the Frog" and made a tremendous impression. He found himself sud denly on the tidal wave of success. His salary jumped from paltry dab to s1,OOO week.
 Not long after this he was given his great opportunity in Outside the Law,o and since then he has been able to name his own price.
