The Kitchen Table.

In the war with insect life Kerosene
is q sure weapon Of defense. If the
kitchen table is seized upon by reaches
and used as a nest for their eggs. do
not burn it up after ineffective scrub
bling and scahings. Put it in the yard
and soak it with kerosene. Not one egg
will live. In like manner treat any in
sect infected furniture. -

Suueakine Sands.

Singing sands are found in many
parts Of the United States, but squeak
ing sands are not so common. The sing
ing sand emits O musical sound only
when dry and loses this property on
being dampened. The sQueaking sand,
on the other hand, is silent when dry
and squeaks best and loudest when
moistened. The sound 1t gives forth is
by no means loud, but somewhat re-
sembles the sQueaking Of an armchair.
It sounds when rubbed between the
fingers or when placed in small bag
and violently struck, but the cause Of
the sound is 2 mystery.
Keeps on Ants.
1t. is sometimes difficult to keep

The retail and wholesale clerks met

Does not SCOTS Emulsion

MAHONY PILOTS
INVESTIGATORS
County Clerk Shows Books to
the Committee of Three APP
pointed by the Grand Jury
CLERKS GET VERY BUSY
Visit Causes a Display of
Energy That if Continued
Would Bring the Work Up

A committee appointed by the
Grand Jury, consisting of Harry Kelly,
W. E. Davis and E.. ]. Benedict, made
an inspection of the Office of County
Clerk A. B. Mahony yesterday for the
purpose of ascertaining whether Alonzo
Davidson performed any work in the
office for the money paid him by the
municipality. They found the book
upon which Davidson was supposed to
have worked. but could find no con-
elusive evidence that the entries in the
book were made by him. The book
will be shown to the Grand Jury Fri
day and in the meantime efforts will be
made to find the missing clerk and
summon him before the body to explain
his connection with Mahony's office.
"Davidson's book" yielded but little
information to the committeeman.
There was not line in it to show by
whom the entries were made or at what
time. In this it differed from every
other book in the office The books are
provided with a marginal space, in
which the clerk who is copying into the
NOiUlllC 10 SoPROSCo W put the QdLG
upon which the judgment or decree or
order was entered Not a date appears
in the margin of the book Mahony
claims is Dsvidsons. Neither is there
anything to show that any of the en-
tries were made by Davidson.
The committee was accompanied on
it's tour Of investigation by Expert B.
T. Mantel, whose duty it will be to Sc
cure for the jury, before next Friday,
specimens of Davidson's handwriting
for comparison with the writing in the
book.
The visit of the committee worked
wonders in the County Clerks Office.
Mahony was on hand bright and early
to show it about the place, and every
clerk was at his desk, working with
such diligence that if they kept it up
for a week the County Clerks Office
would not be a minute behind in the
work. Even Colonel Martin Brady
was on hand, and by actual count made
four entries in an index book while
the committee was in sight When the
committee disappeared so did the
colonel He remarked as he left the
office that as he had had several bad
nights this week he could do no more
because he was suffering from rheuna-
tiSm.

MAKES IT HARD
TO GET BONDS
Jury's Verdict for Damages
Against Board of Works Dis
mays the Surety Companies
RESPONSIBILITY TOO GREAT
Action on Spur Track Privilege
Is Postponed to Give It's
Opponents Time to File Suit

The representative of the surety COM
panies who are on the official bonds of
Commissioners Manson, Casey and
Schmitz notified them yesterday that if
the Supreme Court sustains the verdict
of the jury awarding Mrs. Dora Heath
$4,000 damages for being injured
through a defective sidewalk the COM
panies will withdraw from the bonds
of the Commissioners.
The surety companies say that they
will decline to be responsible in such
an event. as the Commissioners would
be constantly called on to pay dam
ages for accidents. Collusion on the
part of evil disposed persons is also
feared.
The Commissioners believe it will be
impossible to furnish bonds to the city
if the verdict stands, as private indi-
viduals will be averse to giving bonds
for officials whose responsibility for ac-
cidents from bad sidewalks is so great.
The board will appeal the case to the
Supreme Court and hopes for reversal
of the decision.
Albert Johnson appeared before the
board and asked that action be post
poned on the petition of Archbishop
Riordon. president of St. Mary's Help
Hospital, corporation, that he be
granted a permit for a spur track on
Filbert street. Johnson, who is the at
torney for the protestants. said he
needed one week in which to prepare
legal papers to enjoin the board from
granting the permit Rev. Father Null
ligan, secretary to the Archbishop.
stated that he would not consent to the
postponement, as it might prejudice his
case, and with that stipulation the
matter was laid over for one week.
The board ordered grades to be
changed at certain points on Potrero
and Central avenues.
The resignation of ]. Newands as
clerk in the bureau of engineering was
accepted.
The secretary was authorized to in
vite bids for the repaving of Dupont
street, between Pacific street and Broad
way, and also for the furnishing of 100-
900 basalt blocks.
Several extensions of time were grant
ed to contractors for certain street
work
The board decided to recommend to
the Supervisors that the sidewalks on
Clement street, between Tenth and F'ff
teenth avenues, be reduced from nine
teen to fifteen feet. No action was taken
on the request of H. Jaudin, president
of the Point Lobos Avenue Improve
ment Club, that the reduction be car
ried out to Thirty-third avenue, as no
formal petition for the same has been
filed.
The board adopted the map of the
district to be benefited by the proposed
change of grade on Waller street, be-
tween Broderick street and Buena
Vista avenue.
Supervisor Curtis called the attention
of the board to the almost impossible
condition of Twenty fifth street, be-
tween Folsom street and Treat avenue
The board decided that the property
owners must petition to have the work
done.

Dental Case Is Argued.

The case of Charles H. Whitney
against the State Board of Dental
Examiners was argued before the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The attor-
neys for the petitioner maintained
that the dental law was unconstitu-
tional because it gave the board dis
criminatory power. Under the act in
question graduates of certain institu-
tions may be refused the opportunity
to be examined for a diploma in dem
tistry. The court ordered the case
submitted on briefs. A decision will
not be rendered for several months.
