UNKNOWN KNIFER
CUTS HACKDRIVER
(From Thursdays Daily)

In a difficulty at or near the Clop-
ton resort in the red light district
last night, some person with a knife
slashed Tom Morgan, hack driver
Who did the work or what the cause
of the attack was, no one seems to
know. The attack was made In the
dark and Morgan says that he does
not know who slashed him or any
reason for the attack.
None Of the blows struck Morgan
in a vital spot but several Of the
stabs were deep and he was in dan"
ger of bleeding to death before the
flow of blood could be stopped. A
cut across the back of his leg, across
his arm and his hand are the worst
of his wounds. He will be laid up
for some time with the injuries but
none are serious and he will recover
rapidly.H

The Danger of Dust,

One other cause of illness prevalent
in hot, dry weather is dust, and this,
with little attention, might be abat-
ed. The usual practice of municipal
authorities is still to sweep the perfect
~ dry and dust-laden streets in the
small and early morning hours by
means of powerful machine brushes,
with the net result that the dust-at
least, its finer particles-is sent whirl-
ing into the air only to fall again; the
particles are rearranged, not removed.
The problem has been solved in the
cities of London, Westminster and
Paris, and perhaps in others, by wash.
ing the streets in the early morning
and sweeping them afterward If nee
essary. This insures the removal of
the dust without playing at the eternal
Sisyphus-like task of stirring up over
and over again the same dust particles,
sort OF "scayenger's labor lost" With
regard to country roads, the plan of
applying a chemical substance greedy

vantage. "Westrumite," combina.

so far as bicycles and motors are con.
