Plan Transformation
of Tanforan Track

T. H. Williams and his associates In
the management Of the affairs of the
new California Jockey club, 1t is
learned, have under consideration am
bilious plans for the Transformation of
the Tanforan track, which has not been
used for several seasons, into an up
to date racing plant. These plans, 1t
is understood, contemplate the remod-
cling of the track, which is at present
of the mile type, into course which
will be mile and an eighth in circum-
ference, with chutes for various shorter
distances. Extensive improvements in
the appointments of the plant are also
contemplated.
President Williams, it is understood,
was so impressed by the splendidly
appointed track at Arcadia when he re-
Gently visited it that he made up his
mind that San Francisco race patrons
should have equally good facilities for
the enjoyment of their favorite sport.
The plans, it is understood, do not
contemplate the abandonment of the
plant at Emeryville, where the jockey
club has spent a lot of money in i'm
provements under the terms Of lease
which still has many years to run.
The jockey club owns the Tanforan
plant outright, and the only reason
it has not been used for racing in re-
cent years was that transportation ia
cilities were limited. The completion
of the Bay Shore cutoff removes this
objection. 1t is understood that the
plans which have been tentatively con-
sidered will not be carried into ef-
feet in season to affect next winters
racing, but that the improvements. If
made, will be accomplished in time for
the succeeding winters sport.
The beautiful Ingleside track, which
the hockey club owns outright inst as
it does the Tanforan plant, and which
has Of late been devoted to the use Of
victims of the disaster of 1905, prob
ably will never again be used for rae
ing purposes. The property has be-
come valuable for residential purposes,
and It probably will be deemed unwise
to expend the large amount necessary
to restore it to condition for racing. 1t
is likely to be cut up into building
lots in the near future.
The probabilities are that If the con-
templated improvements are carried

Representative Hobson of Alabama
submitted a minority report recon-
mending that provision be made for
four first class battleships instead OF
two. He said:
"It may be remarked that at this
critical juncture, when the world is
drifting toward war, the failure on
the part of America to build up the
naval power adequate to keep peace in
the Pacific ocean will be likely to entail
not only war between America and
japan, but ultimately war between
the white race and the yellow race, and
would prevent the carrying of the gos-

THE CHILD AND THE BIBLE.
Writer in AppIeton's Makes sugses-
 tons Worth Considering.

The Bible is not a dreary book. 1t is a cheerful book. It is not dull book. 1t is an intensely interesting book. Not all parts of it are appropri- ate reading for children. Why should they be? Some parts are not even if for children to read Bible literature must be given to children with dis crimination. just as should any other literature Your boy will be just as much interested in Bible stories as fin any other stories, unless you frighten him away from them Also you will find that he wants the real Bible stories. not somebody's limitations. If he sometimes prefers Diamond Dick The Boy Pirate, or it's like, it doesn't show that Bible stories do not interest him. It shows simply that you must use some tact in competing with the author of Diamond Dick The Bible stories do him good, and "Dia- mond Dick" does not Naturally he does not want to be done good to all the time, any more than do the rest of us
 Instead of making him memorize the Bible for punishment, let him memorize carefully selected passages in place of some other work. He may not thank you at the time, but he will some time. It will give him a heritage of pleasure and profit upon which he may draw at will for the rest of his life Don't give him the idea that every Bible story is a moral lesson. Some Bible stories are no more moral than some newspaper stories. If you confuse the moral and the historical your boy may grow up in doubt as to whether an Amalechite is a sin or man. No matter what the theologians may have said to the contrary, it is not saerilegious to treat the Bible sensibly. Tn fact, it seems to us sac rilegious to treat it any other way Perhaps you were made wretched in your childhood by having the Bible unintelligently crammed down your throat. Perhaps you were made to memorize whole chapters by way of punishment. That that was not the best way to make you fond of it, never occurred to your parents They had never heard of child psychology Per haps you were threatened with hell unless you believed every word in the Bible true in it's narrowest, it's most literal sense. Perhaps you remember family prayers where your father read from the Bible in a dreary monotone while the rest of you sat in awed silence From all this dreariness you wish 10 protect your child, and no wonderi But that is no reason for depriving him of the real Bible.-Ap- pleton's Magazine.
