REMEDY is SUGGESTED.

There is no reason why similar proceeding
should not be made available for the determine
tion of the validity of proceedings for the is
suance of bonds of all municipalities and other
public corporations. Such proceeding
should provide for the determination OF
the validity of all proceedings for the is
suance Of such bonds before or after their sale.
as provided in the act quoted This would en-
able the city to make such sales of bonds as
necessary to go ahead with the contemplated
improvements until the Legislature meets next
January The proceeding could be instituted
and decided In about one month after the pas
sage Of the necessary enabling act.
By rendering municipal bonds more reputable
among careful investors this city would reap
a rich reward in the form of higher selling
prices Instead Of being looked at askance by
executors. trustees. guardians and others TO
whom absolute security is the first considera-
tion and income only secondary. such bonds
would at be preferred to all other forms
of securities. There are also moral elements
involved which should receive consideration.
The public should have a conscience, and. like
any honest business man, should not depend
upon technicalities to escape moral obligations.
Our constitution should be amended as to
permit municipalities. by vote of their citi-
zens to meet their moral obligations. This in
tself would add materially TO the security of
investments in public bonds.

Masons and A. p. AS His Enemies.

Thomas McCue, tailor residing at
643 Ellis street, became suddenly i'm
pressed with the idea that all Masons
and members of the A. p. A. society
are his born enemies, so he started
out on last Saturday afternoon in the
vicinity of Eddy and Larkin streets
to exterminate them. That no inno-
cent man should escape he COM
menced on the first person he met and
was about to carry out his intentions
when he ran foul of Police officer M.
O'Dowd, who gathered him into the
patrol wagon and took him to the
City Hall, where several confused and
lacerated wounds on his head were
dressed. He got the wounds by but
ting his head against imaginary OBJ
stacles. McCue's condition became
so dangerous to himself that he had
to be placed in straitJacket in
the detention ward of the hospital.

missioners on Insanity.

SECRETARY MCCOY RECOUNTS
ORGANIZATIONS GROWTH
Wonderful Progress of Young Mems
Christian Association in Member
ship, Buildings and Work.

A good-sized audience at the Young
Mems Christian Association Hall yes
terday heard General Secretary H. j..
Mccoy tell of the remarkable growth
of the society since its organization in
1914. when it was founded in London
by Sir George Williams. The speaker
described the work of the associations
in ali parts of the world and dwelt
especially upon it's efforts in behalf
of railway employees, soldiers and
sailors, students in the colleges, and
the vast number of working youth
who are enabled by the night classes
maintained in every city to obtain
an education in technical and other
lines. which. but for the work of the
society, would be beyond their reach.
The address was illustrated with
handsome stereopticon views showing
many of the association buildings in
leading cities of the United States and
Canada. Mr.. Mccoy said that these
buildings represented a value of $780,
100000 The 1900 associations in
North America have more than $780,
600 paying members.

POSTUM CEREAL.

Began With Coffee.

Ohio woman. Il was a great sufferer
from stomach, heart and liver trouble.
For the last ten years the suffering
was terrible: il would be impossible TO

i had convulsions from which the only
relief was the use Of morphine.
i had several physicians. nearly all
OF whom advised me to stop drinking &

affected. while my whole nervous sys-
tenn was a complete wreck. I suffered
day and night from thirst and as water
would only make me sick 7 kept on
trying different drinks until a friend
asked me to try Postum Food Coffee.

I have a very delicate daughter who

SOME URGENT NEEDS.

The school course. strangely enough. does
not embrace manual technical education and
instruction in domestic science-now regarded
necessary in all complete systems of edu-
cation. The citizens viii be asked to vote

tion Of these useful features into the school

PUBLIC SPIRIT OF CITY.

The matchlsss climate and outlook of Berke-
ley. seconded by her transportation facilities,
have attracted a population numbering 20. 600.
But much remains to be done to keep abreast
OF pressing municipal needs. There should be
intelligent, fair, tolerant discussion of these
needs. in order that unbiased verdict may
be had upon the bond issue to be presented
10 the voters in September. Meantime sec
tional barriers must be overthrown and public
spirit and community pride awakened The
North Berkeley Improvement Club, the Cen

Among the needs of Berkeley as de-
scribed by President Richards of the
Berkeley Board of Trade and also by
Secretary r. c. Stats, is a tourist
hotel. The last named gentleman has
come in constant contact with the pee

by reason of his connection with the

There is no question" said Mr..
Stats, that our progress is more
rapid than it has ever been. Any one
has only to use his eyes to see that.
Much more can be done by the people
than they are doing to make the situa-
ton ever better. Possibly the great

IN CAREFUL REVIEW.

Victor J. Robertson, president of the
North Berkeley Improvement Club, one
of the strongest and most effective
agencies for Improvement in Berkeley,
has prepared the following relating to
Berkeley, which will be read with care
and interest:
Berkeley embodes all the conditions re-
quired for an ideal residence. educational,
business and manufacturing community The
city is skirted the east by graceful foot
hills that readily submit themselves to the
skill Of the landscape artist. They afford
inspiring outlook, unriyaled in variety and
tent, and properly treated from an artistic
viewpoint could be made most attractive. The
elevations SHOULD be approached by winding,
well-drained streets 10 withstand the
heavy rains Of winter and the sleeper slopes
tion could thus be made not only accessible,
but 3ictureseue and particularly desirable for
residence sites. It is regrettable that the
scenic eject has already been marred by the
crowding Of houses on shallow lots, in defiance
Of appearances commercial advantage and the
comfort and rights Of others. Every commu-
nifty should have the right to protect itself
against such practice.
Berkeley Is making much progress in inn
proving and beautfying its streets. There
now about seventy miles of fine streets. and
these Will in lime be 1anked by suitable trees;

George E. Crothers. one of the trus-

lieves that it is possible to provide for
way to legally determine, within a
limited time, all questions that can
possibly be raised relating to the valid
ity of issues of all municipal bonds and
that a great advantage would be de-

San Francisco has in view an issue
of about $4,000, 900 in municipal bonds,
the proceeds from the sale of which
will be devoted to providing many pub

of the issue has been attacked. If this
attack should result in affirming the
regularity of the bonds still the decis-
ion would go only to the particular
