w. R. Alberger of Santa Fe
Takes First Holiday in
Thirty Years.

Among the passengers who will leave
here to-day for Tahiti on the liner
Mariposa will be w. R. Alberger, chief
clerk to w. A. Bissell, assistant traffic
manager of the Santa Fe system.
Mr.. Alberger entered the service of
the Santa Fe thirty years ago, and this
is the first time he has laid aside the
harness and turned himself loose for a
restful roll in the pastures of idleness.
The vacation that comes after thirty
years of toll is an event in any life, and
Manager Bissell's chief clerk, after
scanning the field of holiday trips with
the experienced eye of railroad man,
decided that for a complete change and
absolute rest nothing offered such at
fractions as a voyage to the South
Seas.
Before the Mariposa returns Mr.. AL
berger expects that the tropical sun
will have ironed out the kinks conse-
quent on so long a plodding in one
narrow rut, and that a month of living
under ideal conditions of rest will have
put him in condition for another thirty
years at the desk.

BOARD DESIRES
COST ESTIMATE
Asks Engineering Bureau
to Figure Amount Needed
for City to Sweep Streets,
PAVEMENT TOO NOISY
Works Commissioners Want
to Replace Basalt Blocks
Fronting School Property

The Board of Public Works yesterday
requested the Bureau of Engineering
to report as to the amount of money
required to sweep districts Nos. l and
4, as set out in the schedule of street
cleaning. The report is to set out the
number of sweepers required in each
district, together with the necessary
teams and inspectors, including an es-
innate of the cost of all apparatus re-
quired in the performance of the work.
Action was taken on the petition of
the Laborers' Protective Union that
street cleaning be done under the i'm
mediate control of the Board of Works
and by its own employees, who shall be
paid a minimum wage of 81 so a day,
instead of letting out by contract as
at present.
The board decided to request the
Board of Supervisors to appropriate
the sum of s6637 to repave with BIZ
tumen certain streets fronting on
school buildings. Frequent complaints
have been made that the teams pass
ing on the basalt block pavements dis
tracted the attention of pupils and the
resulting noise interfered with their
studies. The schools in front of which
1t is desired to put smooth pavements
and the amounts required for the i'm
provements follow:
Lincoln School, $s26 Whittier $3.50: Frank
lin. S420; Horace Mann, S565; Haight. s565;
Mission. S753: John SWEET, 5000; Adams, SAT-:
Irving. $685. Jean Parker $694; Moulder, S1o54.
The application of the executive
committee in charge of the launching
of the cruiser California to close the
Fourth-street bridge next Thursday
between $3.50 and IL a. m. was referred
to the Board of Supervisors.
The petition of the Standard Oil Com
pany to lay an oil pipe line in Six
teenth street was also referred to the
Beard of Supervisors for action.

ASKS THAT REDUCTION

Board Informs Supervisors That Inn
perfect Combustion of Garbage
Causes = Nuisance.


The Board of Public Works yester-
day recommended to the Board of
Supervisors that the sanitary reduc-
ton works be condemned and re-
moved unless proper steps are taken
by the corporation to consume entire
~ the offensive matter so as to abate
the nuisance caused by the made
quacy of the chimney of the building
to carry off fumes and smoke without
injury to the neighboring property.
The Bureau. of Engineering had
filed a report to the effect that $50
long as the garbage is as imperfectly
consumed as it is at present and no
proper attempt is made to secure a
complete combustion of the offensive
matter. so long will the Sanitary Re-
duction Works continue to be an in
excusable nuisance not only to neigh
boring property, but to property a
mile or two away"

PRODUCE MEN
HAVE TROUBLE
Disgruntled Dealers Leave
Protective Association and
Conflict Is Now Expected
BLACKLIST is ISSUED
Potato Handlers Refuse to
Meet Assessment Levied
by Executive Committee

The trouble between the members
of the Wholesale Produce Dealers AS
sociation generally known as the Po-
tato Dealers Association, caused by
the action of its executive COM
mittee in levying an assessment
upon the members to pay the
costs of the legal proceedings against
sioners. has broken out afresh and a
bitter war is threatened among local
handlers of country produce. Twenty
four firms, including twelve large and
influential concerns, which refused to
pay the assessment, have withdrawn
from the association and it is not un-
likely that more will follow.
The trouble had its origin in De-
cember, 1903, when the permits to sell
perishable produce on the State
wharves, which had previously been
issued to Wolf & Sons, Wetmore
Brothers, McDonough & Runyon and
L. Scatena & Co., were revoked by
the board for alleged violations of the
Woodward law. These firms then car
ried the matter to the courts and the
association was called upon to defray
the expenses of the litigation by the
merchants involved, who claimed that
they. as representative firms of the
commission business, were acting in
the interests of all dealers that were
members of the association. The exc
cutive committee of the organization
met to consider the request and after
deciding upon favorable action voted
to levy an assessment on all members
in order to raise the necessary funds

ILL FEELING CREATED.

The action of the committee created
much i'll feeling among the members,
particularly among small dealers who
felt that they were being taxed merely
TO fight the battles of the larger con-
Germs and they fatty refused to pay
the assessment. These dealers were
then informed that the sum would be
withheld from the deposit of $40 which
members had deposited with the Sec
retary of the organization as a guar
antee of good faith when the organiza-
ton was formed. The disgruntled
dealers thereupon withdrew their de-
posits and resigned from the associa-
ton. They were not molested for
some time, but lately the officers of
the association decided to wage a Wig
orous warfare upon them.
Yesterday a committee consisting of
three we'll known potato men called
upon all dealers who are still in the
association, soliciting signatures to an
agreement, stipulating that all ex-
members who are still in business
would not be granted credit, but would
be compelled to pay spot cash for all
produce purchased from members of
the combine.

For the especial development of the upper arm. resort to dumbbells. AL most all of the elementary dumbbell exercises have some effect upon this part of the arm. The newer school of extension work with dumbbells is not devoted to this particular develop ment, but the old-fashioned exercises are for the most part, including chest and shoulder work. Do not use the heavy iron bell, however, as the old school often prescribed. two-pound wooden bell Is best.
 Do not think that the above eXer- cises are intended alone for the slen- der girl. They are equally beneficial to the over-stout woman, only she must use them much more violently working at them until she is tired and perspiring if she is bound to see the flesh melt away.
 Massage combined with the move ments will push the beauty quest along as fast as it can be pushed. Let the stout massage hard and the slen- der use the same motions gently. First, anolnt the arm with a skin food. A good one is easily prepared by melting an ounce of ordinary cold cream. Buy what is called theatrical cream, which Is pure and without per- fume; add an ounce of sweet almond oil. half teaspoonful of glycerne. ten drops oil of rose. Beat to a paste.
 Use the skin food more plentifully

if you are thin. With the right hand reach as far as you can around the left upper arme grasp 1t firmly. work the hand forward with wringing motion. Proceed in the same way with the forearm. When you reverse. massaging the right arm with the left hand, you must make more of an effort, as the left hand is weaker, and not inclined to do it's work as well.
 Another motion Is this: Seize the muscular portion of the arm, grasp it firmly, then work the flesh up and down.
 Young girls and sometimes older wo- men are inclined to a roughness of the flesh upon the upper arm This can be overcome by scruhbing with the flesh brush and applying cold cream.
 If the arms have tendency to be dingy of color. bathe them at night with the juice of a lemon in half glass of warm water. rubbing in cold cream and not washing it off until morning. If this does not improve the color, use this lotion: 12 ounces elder flower wa ter. 3-4 of an ounce glycerine, 5 drachms powdered borax.
 To massage the shoulders and chest use the skin food prescribed above and work with circular movement of the finger tips held together To increase the flesh, always use as much of the food as the skin will absorb.

 The exercises which you take for arm development extend in their Dem ieAcial effects to shoulders and chest, thus rounding out the upper part or lthe figure and giving symmetry. It lsvould be impossible, even if you wish ed to increase the arms alone by movements and leave the shoulders unaffected. Fortunately, no one cares lxo do so. for the "chesty' girl Of the modern athletic life has come to stay and no matter how fashions change lyou will notice that her healthy vigor remains the same-admired year in and year out.
