Tine CITY of New York expends As

THE city of New York expends 45
ce4ts a year for each inhabitant for
what is known technically as public
recreation, says the New York Sun.
This term includes music in parks, pub
lie baths, Fairgrounds, flowers and rec
reation piers. The contribution Of
New York for this purpose amounts to
more than S1,500,000 year and is rap
idly approaching 100000. 1t is on
scale of liberality equal to that of
most of American cities, but comes
very far behind Boston, which expends
81 head for the same purpose. Den
yer expends So cents per capita for
public recreation

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,
chew, until the food is liquid and
insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or
allow to stand a minute soaking in
cold cream.
There's a reason" as follows.
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums so necessary in the
primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they
seem able to digest not only that
food but other kinds which formerly
made trouble when eaten without
Grape-Nuts.

borrowed one of the inspectors auto
mobiles on the evening of the fourth
of November and, accompanied by a
friend and the two women, he started
for a drive to the city suburbs. He
returned by way of Indiana avenue
and East First street.
When the automobile, travelling IN
a westerly direction, reached a point
on East First street, between Lorena
and Concord avenues, it became stuck
in the mud and, although full power
was turned on, the machine refused
to bulge from between the tracks.
The occupants claimed to have kept
q lookout in an easterly direction,
thinking that the car on the north
track would come from that quarter
but declared a single car is run on
that division late in the evening, only
the north track being used, going In
both directions.
The occupants of the auto did not
notice the car as it swept over the
crest of the hill and bore down upon
them. They were looking in the OPP
posite direction until the headlight
was fairly upon them.
The two men in the front seat leaped
to safety, but the women in the ton

HUGE DAM SWEPT

MANY W0RKMEN NARROWLY
ESCAPE
Reported That 5000 Sheep Were
Drowned at Lander-Bridges Go
Out and All LoWlands
Are Flooded
Ey Associa ted Press

CASPER, Wyo., March 2S.-Although
the heavy rains of the last few days
had caused much apprehension among
residents of this part of Wyoming,
none was prepared for the overthrow
of such piece of engineering as the
huge dam, which has gone out.
When the waters swept through the
immense masonry many workmen mar
rowly escaped with their lives.
The dam had been built at d cost of
nearly 100000. The steel bridge built
by the government six miles below the
dam at Pathfinder, was also carried
away. Small cabins, barns and prop
erty of all description are floating down
on the swollen stream which is spread
ing over the lowlands and causing great
loss to stockmen and ranchmen.
Miles upon miles of the lowlands are
flooded and it is feared much stock
has been drowned.
A report from Lander says that 5000
sheep belonging to Charles Souther,
which were shut in a large shed, were
drowned and swept away.

DAUGHTER SEEKS
TO GET DAMAGES
GIRL SUES RAILWAY COMPANY
FOR $4,000
Action in Court Brings up Story
of Midnight Automobile Tragedy
Which Occurred on Boyle
Heights

AS a sequel to a collision between
an automobile and Boyle Heights car
on East First street November 4, IN
which Mrs. Lulu Austin and Mrs. May
Tuffres were killed, suit for $4,000
damages was filed yesterday IN the
superior court by Edith Myrtle Balcom'
the 11-year-old daughter of Mrs. Aus
tin and sole heir to the Austin estate.
The child petitions through her guar
dian, Mrs. Phoebe A, Lee, that the
court hold the Los Angeles ItailWuy
company responsible for the accident.
She asks 100000 for the death of her
mother through accident and asks a
like sum for the loss of her mother
as a companion, charging that had the
road not been careless in allowing the
street between the tracks to become
sunken and cut up the accident would
never have occurred.
1t Is understood that other suits
against the company will be filed with
in the coming week.
According TO the story set forth in
