ASPHALT PAVING Is
DESERTED BY COUNCIL
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, March 5.-Because the
affair became so involved in the many
phases presented by petition and pro-
test that it was quite uncomfortable
for the city fathers, the council this
morning finally abandoned asphalt
paving on Los Robles avenue. The
discussion centered around a report of
City Engineed Pearson on the legality
of the signatures to various petitions
and protests for and against the paw
ing of the avenue with asphaltum. The
report stated that it would be impos-
sible to decide who had the right to
subscribe to the frontage set opposite
his name on either protest or petition
until an exhaustive search of records
had established the ownership at the
time of the signing. The number of
feet frontage on the petitions could
not be determined without knowing
exactly who belonged to the various
frontages.

This is common East Indian trick
and the way the knaves manage it is
ingenious. The swarthy admirer OF
linen before entering a bungalow or
tent anoints himself thoroughly with
cocoanut oil. which is done in order
that should any one be awake and
seize him he may be enabled to wrig

prepared, he creeps into the house as
noiselessly as possible.
THE nights in India are generally
warm and oppressive, and the sleep of
most people, though heavy. is uneasy
and disturbed. This the thief is well
aware of, and he takes advantage of it.
HE croucheS at the side of the bed
and with a feather gently tickles the
nose of the sleeper, who, half DOING
rubs his nose and turns over. While
he is turning little of the sheet is
withdrawn from under him. When
fast asleep, the feather is applied
again. and this process is repeated I'M
til the entire sheet is withdrawn.
Sometimes the thief rolls the sheet
of the sleeper. and when the uneasy
occupant of the bed turns over he rolls
off the sheet This IS about the clever

Pennsylvania Has Plan to
Make Wrecks on Its Lines
Almost an ImpossibiIity.
ELECTRICITY A FIGURE.
BLOCKS OPERATED IN THIS WAY
WOULD BE LOCATED BETWEEN
THE MANUAL BLOCKS NOW
IN USE.

| Engineers and signal officials of the
| Pennsylvania railroad are now al
work on new system of block sig
nails and when completed, they will be
the greatest preventive for accidents
yet known to the railroad world The
scheme as it stands at present. and
which viii ultimately be realized on
the indianapolis division and else
where over the Pennsylvania, is to in
stall an electric block about every
three miles, which will be stationed
between the manual blocks now in use
on the division. The electric blocks
will guard the trains three miles ahead
and three miles in the rear by display
ing the red and green signals respect
lively, when there IS a train on the
three-mile block
A Great Improvement.
A new device viii be installed in
the manual blocks which will be a
great Improvement over the present
system. The operator at Block 4 can
not release a train at his block unless
by special permit from the train dis
patcher All releasing has TO be done
by the man at Block b. The man at
bIDth y tClCSi dpiio " bipNh y. stsoiN4AAF
for the block Before the train at
block A can get the next block, the
man at block B has to turn an cleo
trio button, which will release the sig
nails at block A and the train is al
lowed to proceed. Should there be a
train on the block, the man at B can
hold the train at block A. In this
manner the man at the blocks ahead
always controls the destinies of the
passenger trains, instead of the man
at the first block as at present
Should the man at block B be dead or
any accident befall him which will
disable him from turning the button
the operator at block A makes sever
al attempts to arouse him, and if this
is unsuccessful a dispatch is sent to
the train dispatcher who telegraphs
the man at A to let the train pass,
when the conductor in charge has
signed special blank.
Should there be train on the last
three miles of the block the train leav-
ing block a will be protected, as the
electric block between the manual
stations will throw the danger signal.
With both the manual and electric
blocks from one end of the division to
the other, it will be practically impos-
sible for a train to be wrecked by col
lison. the most common source of the
disastrous wrecks on the railroads of
the county, today.
As yet it has not been decided just
when the work will begin on the in
stallation of the new system.

THE SKIN

1t seems to be one of the penalties
of skin disease that it usually ap

the hands and face.
Perhaps you have dosed your stom

you have been a victim of error. Real
skin disease is SKIN disease-a di
sease confined to the skin, and the
general health may not be affected
If the general health is affected at all
it is because the victim was lured on
by internal treatment. Don't worry
your stomach any more. Don't smear
yourself with nasty salves.
