AUTOMOBILES IN LOS ANGELES

The Importance of the automobile as street vehicle
is recognized by Superintendent Haney in his outline
for improvements In its various forms it is already
conspicuous in Los Angeles and it is sure to grow in
favor rapidly From the noisy little cycle to the
big brewery outfit it is streets now as CON-
monty carriages and trucks. is here to stay and
its usefulness must be taken into account in any gen.
eral project of street Improvement
While the automobile has been until recently re-
garded chiefly a pleasure vehicle it is evident that
in the future will for nearly city pur
poses as substitute for horses Its chief servceabilty
will not long consist in sending occupants the
greatest possible distance in given length of time
The rapid speed attraction will remain but the greater
utility of the motor will make the pleasure feature Sec
ondary. There is to believe in fact that the
limit has about been reached in building rapid automo
biles the risk to life is proporonate the increase
speed.
The chief purpose in building automobiles henceforh
is likely to be the substitution of motor power horse
power in business lines considerable start in that
direction has been made in Los Angeles and the
OF the experiments will lead rapid increase in the
number of motor vehicles of various kinds The parcel
delivery business for instance, appears be passing
into the hands OF motor operators and the adaptiby
OF such vehicles for the heaviest trucking demon
strated by their in the brewery business
For such purposes bugges and carriages are now
used the automobile will be before long vehicle with

horse and buggy 1t will be, authority on the
subject says, "a capable of a maximum speed
OF fifteen miles hour, built with primary regard to
safety and comfort and obtanabe bottom price not
exceeding $3.50"
When that time comes, it surely will the streets
of Los Angeles will be alive with motors of various
types, and the foresight of Superintendent Haney as
before noted, will then be appreciated.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 10.-(Special)-
In this section Of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure cure
and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This
belief grows from such cases as that
OF Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson Of this place.
She tells the story herself as follows:
II have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have. done me more good
than any medicine / have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
''Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

The Trees in Springtime.

The awakening of the trees and the
rapidity with which they array them
selves in the new foliage of spring, al
ways fill us with wonder. Each year
they reveal anew their richness of life,
but we are never quite prepared for
the phenomenon, for in all their moods
and aspects, save this one, the trees
suggest to us the spirit Of calmness,
of delibera ton, Of repose.
We revisit the familiar forest OF
childhood with certain feelings of hest
tation and doubt, fearing it may be
SO, changed that we cannot renew the
old intimacy. We examine the sugar
naples, and find upon their trunks but
slight traces Of the auger-holes which
we bored, in sapping- time long ago.
They have done their best to conceal
these old wounds with fresh bark. A
few dead branches above, however,
gave mute evidence of the robbery Of
sap; otherwise they are unchanged.
The oaks which were young when we
were boys are still young. The beech

in boyhood, stand with the firmness Of
Doric columns, still displaying our sig
natures in their bark, asSthough striv-
ing by these tokens to keepNour men,

Weather Bureau Saving.

company determined to investigate the
amount of property saved in one year
by the warnings Of the Weather Bu-

Steam Bath for Removing the Old Gov.
ering from the WaI.V
A paperhanger estimating on a job
which requires the removal Of old pa
per from the walls is always figuring
in the dark, for the reason that It
makes a great deal Of difference wheth-
er he has one layer Of paper to take
off or more. In other words, it is i'm
possible for him to determine whether
the work Of removal will require the
services Of a man for half a day or
two days. A common way of doing
this work Is to let out the work Of TAX
ing off the old paper to a sub-contrac-
tor, who charges by the time required,
and as the rate Of wages paid for this
kind Of labor is much less than that Of
the skilled paperhanger, it is usually
economical to have the work done in
this manner.
Steam has been found to be well
suited for this work, and by It's aid 1t
Is said to be possible to remove the
paper without regard to the thickness
Of the layer, in manner quicker and
more Clearly than heretofore. The ap-

OBJECTED TO BIG WEDDING.

Young Man Sues Mother for Money
Spent on Sisters Wedding.
To recover $4,000 which he alleges
was spent by his mother, Mrs Adelaide
s. White, widow Of Hamilton White
Of Syracuse, N. Y, upon the wedding
Of his sister, now Mrs. Alfred Laselles
Wright, Of New York, young Hamilton
White, grand nephew of former AM
bassador White, brought suit through
his attorney and special guardian, in
Surrogate's court, says special to the
New York Press.
The wedding, which Is the cause Of
the suit, was one Of the most conspic-
uous social events this city has known.
It took place last year. 1t was cele-
brated with a lavish expenditure Of
money. Among the extravagances in
dulged In was the ordering from Hol-
land Of hundreds of bay trees, which
were shipped to this country at great
expense. Added to the wedding ex-
penses was a trip to Europe to pur-
chase the bridal trousseau.
1t is asserted by the plaintiff that
Mrs White squandered upon her
daughter part Of her husbands estate
intrusted to her as eXecutriX and in
tended for the use of both children.
The son holds that $4,000 was taken
from his rightful share and sues his
mother to recover it.
The attorney for the executrix al
legged In defense Mrs. Wnfte spent the
money at her daughters request, but
the surrogate said he could not enter
a decree unless Mrs. Wright would
sign stipulation that the items OBJ
jected to by the plaintiff be paid from
her own share Of her fathers estate.
This, it is said, she will not do, On adj
vice of her husband, a prominent young
business man of New York.

paratus by which this is done is en-
tirely portable, and complete plant is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. It consists mainly Of kettle, in
which is combined a water holder and
a gasoline tank and burner for getting
up steam. The water compartment
holds four gallons, which is more than
ample for half days work. The steam
generated passes through rubber pipe
to hood. which is held for short
time on the wall to be cleaned. The
paper under the hood Immediately be-
comes saturated and the hood is moved
to another spot and the place just va
Gated Is gone over with the paper
hangers spade, the paper being easily
removed. The spade follows the hood,
and in an Incredibly short time great
deal Of old paper is removed.
A few minutes application Of the
steam under the hood is sufficient to
remove the thickest deposit Of paper
which one would be likely to find. AS
high as fifteen coats Of wall paper, one
on over the other, have been penetrat-
ed by the steam and then removed
With this implement it is possible
to calculate almost to penny the cost
Of the labor Of removing paper. An
other advantage is that it is sanitary.
The application Of the steam is said
to remove all germs or vermin Of any
character whatever. Bugs, which are
harbored under the paper, are killed
instantly. Because Of the heat in the
steam, the walls dry very quickly af-
ter the paper has been skinned off,
and, if desirable, the hanger may start
to put on the new paper at once.

is that the reputation Of New England
for thrift rests on solid foundation.

Had Adam known that his rib was
to be taken and turned into woman,
would he have consented? It is Ques-
ton raised by a woman at Cleveland
missionary society meeting and left
open to conflicting opinion. The wom-
an Of to-day, like Pandora Of old, Is
bound to pry into things and turn loose
upon the world lot Of troubles. That
stolen rib Of Adams was supposed to
be a closed incident. The borrowed
member was long since restored to
man. For countless generations he
has had the rib as we'll as the woman
close to his heart Man wasn't worry
ing over the rib affair at all. He had
all but forgotten It, But woman,
womanlike, must, of course, prod him
out Of his complacent forgetfulness
and demand that he tell her whether
or not he is sorry that she Is in ex-
istence. To be sure, she has conf
dence in his gallantry and expects a
complimentary reply. The modern
Eve would have the modern Adam lie,
If necessary, to crafty her vanity.
Which goes to show that woman
hasn't changed much. Adam has left
no evidence Of his feeling on the sub
ject, and we can only guess at this
late date whether he would willingly
have exchanged rib for a woman or
not. You may guess either way and
feel confident that your position cannot
be disproved. But this much may be
said with certainty. Adam would have
been at a disadvantage. He would
have been trading In the dark. 1t
@ould have been impossible for him to
comprehend in advance what a woman
would be like. Indeed, even to-day,
man can't make her out, and doesn't
unanimously know whether she Is a
good thing or not. So Adam might
very reasonably have baked at giving
UP one Of his royal good, sound ribs,
that he could not very we'll spare for
"pig in poke" that might prove an
intolerable nuisance to him. But, af-
ter all, the profitable and vital question
at this late time is not as to what
Adam in his ignorance might have
done had choice been his, but what
the man of to-day is willing to give
up in exchange for woman and the
fullness Of her blessings. To-day, as
in Adams time, man must sacrifice In
order to be worthy of and to win the
rich treasures Of womanhood. Man
to-day, as always, must supply the ma
terial to make the woman who Is real
ly his own. She is more exacting now
than she was. Sic requires more than
a RIB. It may be temper he must
curb, a disposition he must train, hab-
its he must conquer, appetites he must
restrain, pet vices he must give up,
to cultivate the love and faith and
trust and sympathy that make a wom-
an truly his.
