the respective school teams by the
principals of the different schools.
The principal instructions were:

studies or he will be considered not
eligible for the team.
Any player or players found
guilty of practicing during school
hours shall be disqualified and will
not be allowed to play in any game
during the remainder of the season.
Should the entire team practice or
play during hours, it shall be dis
qualified.
The umpire this year will be Sc
lected by the captain of each team
unless the principal of the school
objects to him.

There Is rejoicing on both sides
of the Atlantic as the result of the
match made between Bowker, the
English fighter, and Abe Attell, the
premier American 120-pound boy.
An International battle is always of
great Importance to the puglistic
fans because of the national feeling
always stirred up. Attell will be a
big favorite on this side because of
his recent performances. Bowker
is fast youngster who has a style
of fighting similar to Britt and pos
sesses a better punch for his inches
and ounces than the coast boy. l
look to see Attell win, but | believe
that the battle will go very near to
the limit if both round into shape.
No story that Aurelia Herrera
tells gives the Mexican so much
pleasure as the account of an incl
dent that actually happened in his
home town in Bakersfield, CAL
Herrera's brother, Mauro, before
he became fighter, or, rather,
when he was yet but mere child,
kept teasing Aurelia for pair" of
boxing gloves, as he called them
One day after fight the Mexican
wrapped up a set of old gloves, in
tending to take them home to his
small brother. He also wrapped
up a gymnasium suit and a sweat
err in another package, and asked
a bell boy to see that they were
laundried.
Aurelia did not notice which
package the hotel employee took
and packed the other one away in
his trunk. He left word at the ho-
tel to have the laundry job rushed.
In order to save time the package
was rushed to nearby Chinese
laundry to be taken care Of.
The chlnk opened the package
and found the gloves. At first he
thought it was a joke. but on sec
ond consideration he decided to do
them up. The gloves were washed
and then dipped into the starch and
an effort made to iron them.
They resembled large billets of
baked mud when the Chinaman got
through with them.
The package was rushed back to
the hotel and Herrera paid the bill,
which was much smaller than he
had expected. He threw .!e pack
age into his trunk. thinking that he
would have them clean and in
shape when he started to train
again.
On his arrival home his little
brother asked him about the gloves
This time l have them for you.

BACON AND EGGS

From sanguine San Francisco comes
word of a common diet of bacon and
eggs.
1t is the diet that does things. Ameri-
can wildernesses have been conquered,
cities begun and mines opened on bacon
with or without eggs. Armies have
marched on the same rations, bringing
relief to friends and trouble to foes.
The frying of the fitch, as an essential
incident of life on the plain and in the
forest. throws savory suggestion from
the pages of pioneer story and history.
The dispatches bring a note of regret
for the earthquake-riven restaurants
and clubs of late Golden Gate high life
They are not worth the mourning. Be-
sides, they will rise again. With them
temporarily are banished dyspepsia and
a tendency to gout Who ever heard
of great deed done or a great victory
won on chicken patties la refine, Capt
toa salmon hollandaise or a sauce la
Newburg?
1t is San Francisco's splendid fortune
that apparently she has abundant eggs
with her bacon.-New York World.

NOVEL ELECTRIC RAILWAY

One of the most interesting achieve
ments in these days of rapid railway
evolution is seen in the present con-
struction of railway between Liver
pool and Manchester 1t is a novelty
in railway building, although the prin-
ciple involved has been tested to the
satisfaction of commission appointed
by the British parliament. 1t has been
operated experimentally, in fact, both
In the United States and in Europe,
but the Liverpool- Manchester line will
be the first use of 1t on a commercial
scale
A braced single rail constitutes the
track OF the railway in question. The
car straddles the track, both sides
hanging below, thus obviating all dan
ger of turning or jumping the track.
The builders of the line confidently ex-
pect to attain an average speed Of ITO
miles an hour.
The railway referred to, which will
be operated by electric power. gives
further evidence that steam railway
service is rapidly giving away before
the trlumphs Of electricity. The chief
advantage OF electric transportation is
the convenience offered for frequent
service, independent OF ordinary train
schedules. In addition thereto 1t isl
claimed that electric opera tion, in ia
yorable circumstances, is far more

CRISIS IN FIRE INSURANCE

While in one way the insurance row
in San Francisco is not pertinent to
Los Angeles, yet in another this city is
directly interested in its outcome, as is
every insured person in the United
States. And the result of the efforts
making to force reca1citrant companies
to pay up will be watched with the
greatest care.
Insurance is something almost every
man carries on his real and personal
property. He regards it as wise pre-
caution. He believes it right to pro-
tect himself thus against a time of
possible loss. He sees In good insur-
ance a safeguard, sheet anchor, in
time of trouble. And so long as he
has no reason to doubt that the COM
panies are acting in good faith with
him, he will continue to carry insur-
ance.
But when insurance ceases to in
sure then why carry it? IT, in the day
of evil, his bulwark of safety proves
but shifting sand, deusion and
snare, what is the sense In paying for 1t
year after year? Better use that money
for other purposes. and take the
chances on calamity he will be better
off in the end.
San Francisco people paid mill
lions annually for fire insurance.
They feared that some day a fire would
come-not a great sweeping conf1agra-
tI,AA Ii -
half week-but a small blaze, in
which an individual, or several of them,
would suffer. And they insured against
this
That confagraton, almost un-
equaled in history did come, all know.
That 1t destroyed half billion in
values is equally plain And that about
5000, 900 was covered by insurance
was hailed as the city's salvation when
it became known. 1t is safe to say that
never was so clear an emphasis placed
on the necessity for fire insurance as
directly after the San Francisco con-
lagration.
If the insurance companies act fairly
with the people, then will the value of
fire insurance. have been individually
proved for all time, and the rush to in
sure will be ihe greatest ever known.
If the companies bubble and evade and
repudiate, then will the belief in the
efficacy of insurance be greatly less
ened and the premiums will slump
terrifcally. The insurance companies
will be wise if they take this seriously
into consideration.

A CHARACTER STUDY

Such language" said Senator For
aker, apropos of an acrimonious and
rather personal debate, reminds me
of the slashing editorials of the famous
Rudd of Salt Rock.
"Rudd of Salt Rock welded a pen
like bludgeon. I have by heart a
sample of his STYLE brief character
study of a rival editor. The character
study runs like this:
"'Did any reader ever see the editor
of our esteemed contemporary? Take
an eight-bu sack about as long
one way as the other. Fill it with bran.
Hit both ends heavily with a club so
as to swell it out in the center. That is

WHAT NooNTIME MEANS IN LAW

The courts of several states have
dealt with an odd question, none of
them agreeing upon a similar answer.
When is it legally noon? Fire insur-
ance policies expire at noon, and the
word Is admitted to mean exactly II
o'clock midday. But standard time has
not been adopted in all communities.
Many small towns cling to sun time,
which may be from few minutes to
nearly an hour earlier than standard.
In one state fire occurred at two
minutes past noon, sun time, and the
insurance company held that the policy
had expired before the fire. Sun time
Is used in that town. but the insured
sued the company, holding that local
customs did not rule the policy and
that he was entitled to his insurance.
The state court sustained him.
In another state a similar contention
was taken to the courts and just the
opposite decision given. Several con-
f1cting precedents have been estab-
lished in state courts and it is said
the question can only be decided for
good and all when case has been car
ried into the United States courts and
passed upon by the supreme. court

INDIVIDUALITY IN THE HOME

. Individuality may express itself I'm
many ways, primarily in the selection
of colors and furnishings which we dis
tinctly like, refusing to become mere
copyists or blindly to follow advice
which will make our homes utterly un-
congenial to us and to our families. If
we love the beautiful and wish our
homes to be artistic and satisfying, we
VIII consider everything carefully from
the standpoint of simplicity and har-
mony, and If we are inexperienced and
realize our weakness we may need to
ask advice of those who have learned
the secrets of color, materials, etc. but
there Is always choice md the choice
should be what will be most congenial
to u.s.
Some people naturally surround
themselves with rich warm reds, find
ing themselves happlest under those
conditions, and we cannot but acknowl-
edge that the selection suits them ex-
actly. others may appreciate and ad-
mire the beauties Of the red room, and
yet find it utterly impossible to asso-
ciate it with their own daily surrounds
ihgs. One may prefer blue, anotheR
green. The lover of blue may live in n
room with a cold north light, and,
knowing the cold nature Of her favorits
color hesitate to yield to her inclina-
ti0n but she may compromise by com
bining the necessary yellow with the
blue and still cling to her own dis
tinctive color. If yellow is the favorite
color, let that predominate and tone 1t
down with blue. BY yielding partly to
the laws of art and science we can
usually succeed in carrying out ouf
own schemeS.-Harper' Bazaar.

Is impossible to find any defense for the
Sunday rowdy. He may be explained
as an oyerdeveloped physique with an
underdeveloped mind. This year the
transportation managers-whose fail
ure to perform their duties in the past
is largely responsible for the conditions
that exist-appear to be making a real
effort to suppress the young toughs that
