CANDY SATISFIES
CRAVING FOR LIQUOR
Philadelphia Professor Says Two Are
Same-Brunettes Like Whisky
and Blondes Sweets, He
Declares

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. S.-Dr. A.
c. Ackbott, chief of the bureau of health,
announced yesterday that the appetite
for candy and alcohol are fundamentally
the same, that by the development of a
candy taste the body was fortified
against desire for rum, and in further
ance of his theory he had been feeding
his three children each day on regular
allowance of sweets.
DR.. Chalmers de Costa of Jefferson col
lege supported DR.. Abbotts theory, and
said he found that blond persons usually
had candy craving, while brunettes
long for alcohol This was because the
latter were more vital.
1t also has been discovered that within
recent years women eat less candy and
consume more alcohol. The reverse is
true of men.

Begin Work at Once

'Of course, not all of the improve
ments we have decided upon can be paid
for out of this money, nor can all of the
work be finished In time for the opening
of school, but no time will be lost in
completing the most urgent repairs and
making several alterations to such build
ings as are needed.
1--WE need two new buildings on Burn
ham avenue, one east and the other west;
another at Eagle Rock or Garvanza, or
at least annexes should be added to make
room for the increased attendance.
1.-THE Normandie avenue school will
have to be enlarged, as will also the
building formerly known as Green Mea
dows school, but which is now called
South Park avenue school. 1t has for
some time been too small to keep pace
with the new pupils that are moving into
that section.
Then we want new site and building
somewhere beyond Vernon he conclud-
ed land another at Fourteenth and San
Pedro streets"
The amount voted yesterday is suffi-
icent to build seven or eight new school
buildings of the eleven-room size, which
is the most popular with the board of
education. Not all of the money will be
expended in new buildings as with but
slight alterations some of the old build
ings can be enlarged.

$5ll5E1 TO DEATH IN CAB
Wild Freight Car Crashes Into Engine
Pinioning Engineer in
Wreck.

SEATTLE, Feb, 5.-Julius F. Schar-
fenberg. a locomotive engineer, was al
most instantly killed about Z o'clock
Yesterday evening in the half-moOn
yards by a freight car crashing into
the cab of his engine. The force Of
the collision crushed the cab and pin
toned the engineer. One of the steam
pipes on the locomotive was broken and
boiling water pouring on Scharf-
enberg's body brought unutterable suf-
fering and agony until death put an
end to his pain. The engineers legs
were crushed and mangled, but it is
believed that he would have lived had
it not been for the escaping steam.
j. ]. Dougherty, G. H. Wormul and
Hugh Jensky sprang to the rescue of
the imprisoned man, who was caught in
the wreckage. They took him to Fiji
teenth street and Pacific avenue where
they were met by an ambulance which
had been summoned in the hope that
Scharfenberg was still alive. The am
bulance driver, however, informed the
men that life was extinct and the cor
oner was notified.

There are many "crOssOver" switches

He Cannot Play q Practical Joke
with Any Success
SNAPPED BOYS LAUNDRY BUNDLES
ONLY MISTAKE HE MADE WAS
A SLIGHT ONE OF TIME BUT
THAT WAS ENOUGH.

After spending half an hour in the
attempt to work a practical joke on
his fellow students a Billings hall boy
awoke the other other day to find that
the joke was a big one on him.
The discontinue of the would-be
wag came about in this way. 1t is
the custom of Whitman youth to send
their soiled linen once each week to a
local laundry. The clothes are placed
in a bag along with a slip containing
the name and number of the the room
of the owner.
The bag is placed just outside the
students door in the hall. The deliv-
eryman collects the bags and later in
the week returns the clean linen to
the several rooms.
The funny collegian thought it would
be rare sport to vex his fellow stu
dents by exchanging the packages of
clothes. He chuckled softly to himself
as he thought of the discontinue of
the fellow who rOOmed on floor num-
Der one when he found his clothes on
the third floor.
Act II.-SteaIthIy Swaps.
Stealthily he snapped the different
bundles early on Monday morning.
Tuesday came and he heard no
mutterings of vengeance; Wednesday
passed without any fuss; Thursday
night fell and the waters of Lacum
Duckum still remained in unruffled
calmness. 1t was Friday night and
Billings hall still stood on it's founda-
tons.
Then came Saturday afternoon and
with it came the laundryman with sew
eral dozen nice, clean bundles, which
he placed by their proper doors.
Whitman's wag saw them come and
that each was at it's proper place and
then he went to his room and sat down
to think it over. Three hours later he
went out in the cold, cold, darkness
and ran six times around the running
track in the deep, deep snow
1t had dawned on his Greek con-
gested brain at last. that he should
have exchanged the bundles when they
were returning On Saturday instead
of before the laundryman dumped them
promiscuously in his wagon on Mon
day. And then he told it on himself.
