1t was held by counsel for the police
department that Justice Gaynor's order
was equivalent to a blanket injunction.
The police were instructed to that effect
Mayor Mcclellan and Police Commits

under the terms of the order, to show
cause why the temporary injunction
should not be made permanent. Under
the Gaynor injunction, it is stated. the
hundreds of moving picture places which
lost their licenses by the mayors orders
will be able to do business as usual to-
morrow.
Bingham Tells What Is What.
Another phase Of the Sunday amuse-
ment question came to the front today
when Police Commissioner Bingham sum-
moned the proprietors of vaudeville houses
before him and read an opinion of the
corporation counsel on their rights and
the duty of the police under the Sunday
amusement law.
The corporation counsel in his opinion
said that permitted Sunday performances
might comprise orchestral or vocal con-
certs, lectures and recitations and NOV
ing pictures illustrating lectures "of an
instructive or educational character. Civ
ing of operas, plays or theatrical sketches,
singing in costume, dancing of all kinds
and moving pictures reproducing play

list in the corporation counsePs view.

RAPID GROWTH OF SUBURBS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVEST
oRS AND HoMEsEEKERs.
Fall the Best Season Of the Year for
Picking Up Realty
Bargains.

"The trend toward suburban improve
ment and development this summer has
been SO pronounced and satisfactory a
leading realty operator says. that we are
encouraged to anticipate greatly enhanced
results with the opening Of next spring S
business.
Indeed, there is no better time than
the early fall for intending purchasers OF
homes and operators on larger scale TO
look over the ground In anticipation OF
next years opportunities in this attractive
side of the market. The accrued results
of the past spring and summers EFFORTS
are before the observers eye, and condl-
lions as they existed last fall and as they
are to be found to exist today may be ad-
vantageously compared.
1.-THE large operator is enabled to OBJ
serve with critical inspection opportuni-
ties which he may have passed over dur
ing the last or preceding years. and De
thus reminded that these opportunities, III
other forms and with other tracts, exist
the same today as then, and 1t Is up to
his foresight and judgment not to let them
slip by again. He now observes to his
regret. chances which he permitted others
to avail themselves OF. for there Is no
surer criterion of what is to come in the
future the realty Hldthet IMAM obHci-
walton of what has taken place and what
Is now under way.
Opportunities Let Slip.
THE same general principle holds true
to the individual suburban home buyer,
and he is reminded that the longer he
waits in determining upon definite seiec-
ton for his home he is missing just that
much accrued valuation upon property
which he might have heretofore bought
and that he must pay just that much
more increased price for property which
a year or two ago he may have selected
but was deferred for some reason or
other, usually IN these instances trivial
ones.
by reason OF the propitious weather
this summer building in the entire
suburban circuit has been practically I'M
interrupted and builders and homemakers
have taken advantage of this advan-
tageous seasonable feature to the utmost.

Ihat the extensive aduiteration of candy
ana soda fountain products is not con-
fned TO the east and the middle west is
evidenced by information from California.
where twenty-five candy makers and soda
water manufacturers have been guilty OF
employing harmful adulterants in their
products. according to charges made by
the California state board of health At a
recent meeting the board issued instruc-
tons to the district attorneys to have all
the Vioators arrested. The candy MAX
ers are charged with employing paraffin
In the manufacture of their sweets. and
the soda water manufacturers are ac-
cused Of using salcylic acid. Both OF
these are most dangerous adulterants

stomachs of young children. Salicylic
acid is the deadly chemical which caused

What Fires Cost.
From McClure's.

from Mctiurt 8.
Fires have cost us as many as 100
human lives in one years time and our
loss in money value, through the destruc-
ton of property. Is almost as appalling.
The production of gold i'm the entire
world, something like $500, 900 900 per
year. would not recoup us for our losses
by fire, and the Incidental expenses ac-
companylng them, in the same period of
Tune; the value of all the coal mined in
thls country In a years time would just
cover the cost to us of our fires; the
value of our lumber production is only a
tr1f1e more. We are fond of luxuries, and
import great many, yet the value of all
that importation is but fifth of our
fire cost We are great and persistent adj
Vert1sers. and spend huge sums in that
accessory to business. but vast as our
advertising bill is. it equals but two
hfths of our fire bill: and all the indus
trial dividends paid in 1907 aggregate but
three-fifths of the amount of our fire ex-
trayasance.
In 1907 there were no great confagra-
ions; 1t was what might be termed
normal year; but we actually destroyed
buildings and property contained In them
to the value of S215.0O0.OOO.
