more and more 10 the fore. IL is
not a fashion that suits or en-
hances the charms of the more
mature woman unless her face is
unlined and she is exquisitely

Is delighted with il. Those who
have kept vigilant watch to ward
off any forehead wrinkles are
reaping their reward now that the
unlined brow Is subject To the

LOS ANGELES
 TICHTENS REINS
 ON SHIFTLESS
County Investigates Aid Given 100000 Per-
 sons Annually

Los Angelcs.--No longer will Los Angeles be paradise for the shiftless and indigent.
 Coincident with the discovery that approximately 100000 per sons of the estimated 1,5OO,OOO population have been obtaining aid, the board of supervisors an- nounced its intention to enforce a newly passed state law requiring three years residence in Califor- mia and one year in the county before public aid may be secured.
 Disclosures that many have taken advantage of the generosity of Los Angeles in caring for it's sick. poor and helpless and in- digent have led civic-minded of hcials and citizens to inquire the reason and necessity of spending approximately 40 per cent-$17.- 353.9OO yearly-of It's income to- wards the upkeep of county charities.
 Investigation On
 With an investigation now be- ing carried on to determine the actual number of persons living off the county, officials and par ticularly Supervisor Hugh Thatch- CT, directly in charge, have re- fused to make any estimate Of those undeservlng aid because the figure runs to such q high per- centage.
 Approximately 23,O00 cases are treated yearly by the county and Thatcher declared that the year. ly growth of these has to cease.
 Instead of spending the pres ent sum to care for the poor and needy sick at it's seven institu- tions-w which include gigantic county hospital costing millions-- 1t has been estimated that elimin- atioh of the parasites will reduce the sum necessary by approxi- mateiy $1,0O0,000 year.
 Invite Friends
 Cases where persons receiving aid have written to friends in eastern states telling them to come to Los Angeles and obtain free living have been discovered in the investigation. according to Thatcher.
 The threat that those who obtained aid may be returned to the region from where they migrated was expressed by Thatcher. He said there was no reason why the county should be forced to spend annually $4.22S,O0O for county welfare work. $6.- 6O1 900 for the general hospital. and approximately $2,0O0.OO0 for the health department when there was no need for 1t.

The story Mrs Anna Elgines, 26, of 24 South Riverside street, told Judge John F. McGrath in police court this morning that she tried to kill herself failed to register with the court and as a result she was given four months in the county jail on charges of breach of the peace. Her companions in the shooting case, Joseph Suback, 2S, of 84 Congress avenue, charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace, and Francis Gilmartin, 23, of 214 South Leonard street. charged with breach of the peace were also gvien jail sentences.
 Suback was given 90 days on the intoxication charge and four months on the breach of the peace count. Gilmartin was served like wise,
 The trio were hailed into head quarters last night by Motor Pat rolman Joseph Lovallo and Patrol- man Michael Hartnett after sev- eral children had excitedly told them there was shooting on South Riverside street.
 Anna was not charged with any offense until she started to tell her story on the witness stand. Judge McGrath stopped her and in- structed Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummel to lodge breach of the peace count against her.
 Officer Lavallo said when he went to Anna's home he found the parlor in a topsy turvy condition and discovered four empty shells from a revolver on the floor. He recovered the .32 caliber revolver under the sheets on the bed. He said Anna told him that .Suback was doing the shooting. He said Anna did not appear to have been drinking.
 Anna said she was married but Is separated from her husband and that her two companions were rooners in her home. She said she fired the shots, "because l wanted to kill myself"

WHITE RADIATORS
 RETURN THE HEAT
Experiments Show That Color Makes Difference
 of 20 Per Cent
DARK COLOR COOLEST

With every year that passes. color Is playing a larger part In human life, as an understanding of it's use and effect is being gain ed. It has long been known that light colors stimulate, while dark colors depress. Experiments with animals and plants have shown that they react strongly to color. Both are aided in their growth by those colors which reflect light rather than absorb 1t. It is now possible, through the use of lith- ophone or zinc oxide. to paint walls so that they will reflect SD per cent of the light that reaches them.
 Science says that some surfaces with which we live should be rest ful rather than stimulating. Thus the vogue for green-tinted black boards that recently have made their appearance in schOol-rOoms, writes Marshall Andrews In Popu- lar Science Monthly.
 Heat is affected by color as well as light. It has been discovered that radiators painted white yield ed twenty per cent more heat than those which had not been painted, the darker col ors also yielding less heat than white, depending upon their dens- lity. Painted tanks containing naph- tha were exposed to the sunlight for two hours, and temperature readings were taken. It was found that there was difference of eleven degrees between those painted white.
 These experiments are part of an exhaustive survey in the paint field being conducted by government laboratory experts. It was found, for example. that paint must not only protect wood from the weather, but it must itself he pro- tected from the wood. Strangely enough. the coating of paint that adds years to the life of wooden structure suffers constant attack from the material 1t protects. Chemical constituents of the wood, the wood texture, and moisture ob- sorbed by the wood and conducted by 1t to the paint. all contribute to the breakdown of the protective coating.
 Everyone has seen paint on the side of house accumulate sma Il
  found to contain q dark-colored It. quid. As soon as this broken blister has dried, the lose paint hardens and falls off, leaving the wood ex- posed.
 These blisters are caused by the moisture in the wood. Blisters on the sunny side of a house are not caused by the action of the sun on the paint. They are the result of the suns heat vaporizing water in the wood. The expanding vapor pushes the paint away from the wood, and there is your blister. For that reason. according to r. l.. Browne, senior chemist at the Forest Products Laboratory of the Forest Service. in Washington. D. C., a southern exposure Is not always best for the house paint. though 1t may be considered best for the house.

Madame Butterfly m Reality
 Is Pretty as Stage Character

TOKYO, June Madame But terfly in real life was as pretty as she is painted in the story and the stage doesn't flatter her either.
 So says Mrs. Irwin H. Correl, an American missionary to whom the little Japanese teahouse girl told her troubles many years ago.
 Mrs Correll gave an account at a luncheon of the Pan-Pacific club here of how the story happened to be written.
 The name of the original was really Butterfly" or "Cho-san" in Japanese, and it was by this name that she was known to Mrs. Correll and others of the mission.
 Her betrayer was, however, a Russian and not an American naval officer, as the opera has it.
 Some years afterward, home on leave, Mrs. Correll related the story to her brother, John Luther Long, Philadelphia attorney She said her brother sat up all night and next morning at breakfast showed her the completed manu- script Long died seven years ago. He had not seen Japan when he wrote the story.
 Mrs. Correll, now 80 years old, first landed in Yokohama in 1873. Afterward she and her husband moved to Nagasaki and it was here that she becme acquainted with little Cho-san, who lived on a hill where she could gaze out to sea day after day, hoping for the return of her lover.
 Little Cho-San was as pretty as picture. and every one liked her." Mrs. Correll said. One day we heard that she had lover, and later we heard of her expectant motherhood.
 "The lover had gone making promises that hewould soon re- ,crspxstaaPsost edto
 turn. As we understood it there was to be a signal from the ship when he did come back, and we knew that Little Cho-san was waiting by her window for the sign that was never given"

AMERICAN LEGION GROWING.

The American Legion records the largest mem bershp in the history of the organization.

 That is formidable membership but it ought to be larger. There is no good reason that we can see why all those who in the World War should not be members of the American Legion. The it to embracing all those who joined the army and navy in those years of 1917-18 the will it represent the authentic sentiment of the American veterans of the greatest in history
