It will start in a comparatively small way, making safe pleasure trips for short distances, using the balloon American, Later it will so into airship construe lion, and it hopes eventually to estab lish a passenger-carrying line between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Its officers assert that the stock jobbing feature is entirely absent from their plans. "We have, in Los Angles enough equipment to start at once on a mod erate scale," said J. B.

Mueller is an ex perienced and thoroughly competent aeronautical engineer and pilot. "With his services and Mr. Ferris' i qruipment "we are ready for business today, so far as we care to go at the start. "The aerial trips made in Los An geles by Knabenshue and Mueller lately ought to demonstrate the feasibility of conquering the air. Tut they are only the local side of a worldwide activity of this sort, which will take up the commercial field in the near future. In fact this already has been projected in France and Germany, as well as in the United States. "Of all places where ballooning and other aerial travel should be keenly en- Joyed there is none better situated than Los Angeles.

The company has opened temporary offices at Chutes park, where the bal loons are stored. -', . ■ CHARGES DENTIST PULLED THE WRONG TOOTH;SEEKS ARREST Aged Veteran Who Had but Six Teeth Shows Up with Only Five and Oencunces Ex. tractcr "I want that dentist arrested right away," said Jerry Carrigan, an old sol dier, to a representative <>i ihe prose cuting attorney's office yesterday after noon.

I told him to go ahead, but not to hurt me. Hi' gave me Kas and yanked it out. When 1 came to my senses I was the maddest man you aver saw.

Case Promises to Be Long Drawn Out A "library hearing" that promises to be more lung drawn out and tedious than tiie one about two years ago when Miss .Mary Jones brought charges against the library directors before the city council in an effort to oust C. F. Lumniis as librarian, was begun before the civil service commission last even ing. Miss Julia Blandy, superintendent of blanches of the public library, has brought charges against four library employes. One is Miss Celia Gleason, f it assistant librarian. Miss Qleason's ease was begun last night, and after several hours, in which Miss Blandy testified from notes she had kept, was adjourned until Friday evening at 7:30. Miss Blandy charges Miss Gleason t with incompetence, insubordination, ; and maliciously hindering her work. The charge of insubordination is de- j clared I" be peculiar, in that Miss Glea-j sun is Miss Hiandys superior officer. In her testimony, last night Miss Blandy told many of the shortcomings! of the library and laid much of 111" trouble to malice ml the part of Miss Gleason. She decelared she reported j these difficulties to the librarian ami the directors a number of times but nothing was ever done about it. Attorney H. D. Qoudge, who repre sents tin 1 four defendants, declared that as the librarian nor the directors had seen fil to take any action, Miss, Blandy's charges could have little merii in them. The others whom Miss Blandy hail called to account before the civil ser vice commission are Misses Florence j Turner, Margaret D. Bloomer and Anna I Madison.
