suoar and Fruit for Horses,

Grain is not the only food on which
the horse thrives. In Egypt the khe-
dives best mares are fed largely on
currants, and these fruit-fed animals
are noted for their endurance and
speed. Figs, during the fig harvest,
form the food of the horses Of
Smyrna. They turn to it from oats
or hay.
The green tops of the sugar cane
are fed to the horses of the West In
dies and for long weeks in many parts
of Canada windfall apples form the
horses only food. In Tasmania
peaches and in Arabia dates take the
place of hay and oats, corn and bran.

POLICEMEN WITH EYEGLASSES

Few of Them en- Duty Except in the
.... Station Houses.
Attention was called sore time agc
TO the fact that a policeman in uni
form carrying baby ir his arms was
fairly rare sight. There IS another
almost as rare.
Very few persons have seen a po
liceman on duty who wore glasses
and no one has seen policeman who
sported spectacles. In the station
houses occasionally the desk man will
use eyeglasses as he is writing up his
book
1t is good deal like looking for
bearded policemen. There are few OF
them. Indeed in the new generation
Of police officers even the mustache Is
unusual.

Nowadays we must not drink spir-

the cir of cities is poisonous, the air
Of the country toe strong; the light
ruins our eyes and the noise racks our
nerves; shaking hands is means of

pure suicide. Life is indeed growing

feated the same aggregation by the
score of 20 to Q.

eleven by the score of 10 to 5, played
the Highland Park school team a
to 0 game, and defeated the Congre-

fault. A return game will be played
with the Seventeenth street school to-
morrow, and a fast game is expected.

DIRECTORS FORGET
TO CHOOSE QUEEN
NO DEITY WILL PRESIDE OVER
ROSE FESTIVAL
Question of Economy lnvolved-Trim-
ming Carriage and Dressing
Queen and Maids Costs
Too Much

PASADENA. Dec 1O.-The directors Of the
Tournament of Roses association met today and
practically decided not to have a queen for the
floral pageant this year. No such action is
officially announced but as the directors met
and considered every other phase of the tourna-
ment and forgot" about naming queen, it is
taken to mean that the post will be vacated,
least for this year
The reason for abandoning the having Of a
queen for the tournament is largely one of
economy. 1t costs several hundred dollars to
trim the queens float or carriage and suitably
dress the queen and her maids of honor, and
it is felt that the money would produce more
display If offered as prizes assistance to
those desiring to make entries in the parade.
Last winter Miss May sutton, then woman 8
tennis champion OF the world. was queen Of
the pageant and this fact lead unusual inter-
est to the office as many tourists who had
read about Miss Sutton were particularly inter-
ested in seeing her. This, however, is con-
sidered exceptional case and just now
Pasadena does not seem to have any fair
daughter so widely known that all the world
would he glad of a glimpse Of her in the annual
tournament of roses and afterward at Tourna-
ment park.

number of the society women of the

the animal she had from the stables
was hard to control. After going
through the business streets, the pa

horses rein and Mrs. Adair rapidly
outdistanced the others. 1T is not very

could live but a few moments. Her
husband was also in the parade and

good chance of recovery.
The news of the accident spread

SANTA ANITA WASH TO BE
SPAWNED BY NEW BRIDGE
Question of Compelling Pupils to Take
Physical Examination Discussed
by City Board of
Health

MONROVIA, Dec. 10.-The contract
for the bridge to be built over the
Santa Anita wash has been let to the
California Ornamental Brick company,
the sum being $4,000. The lack of
proper facilities for crossing the wash
has proved to be not only a great in
convenience, but a serious menace. The
work is being done by the city of Mon
rOvia and will begin at once, in order
that the bridge may be completed be-
fore the spring rains. The former
bridge was burned more than year
ago, and was never rebuilt.
A meeting of the city board of health
was held at the high school this week
for the purpose of discussing the prac-
tice of compelling all public school pu-
pills to take a physical examination.
DR.. c. C. Browning addressed the meet
ing, which was attended by the teach
ers from the several school. 1t is to be
hoped that this system, which has
been carried out in the east with great
success, will be as successfully oper-
ated in this section of the country.
At a meeting OF the city council held
this week the plan for giving the city
an'automobile fire department was dis
cussed. Several destructive fires have
occurred recently in this city, and in
every instance the local department,
consisting of a few hundred feet of
leaky hose and a couple of hand pumps,
proved entirely inadequate. Prepare
tions are now being made to float bonds
to the amount of several thousand dol
lars, which will enable the city to
equip itself with a first class fire de-
partment.
The knights of Pytbias will hold a
dance tomorrow evening at their lodge
rooms.

Athletic Teams

Now that the football season is about
to end. students at the smaller colleges
are taking to track and field sports and
putting in several hours daily in light
training.
On the cinder path of the Los Angeles

Gus stunts, and among them are Ulm
who played right half Next year Ulm
will try for the 440, 100 and 220-yard
dashes, and he is said to be fast man
with his feet.
Clayton, who played right guard this
season, will try for the broad JumI
and the SS0-yard dash, and no doubt
will make it, as his record while at
tending the Santa Ana high school was
up to the standard in all points.
Fastig, who played at quarterback,
will be out for the 100-yard dash.
Peters, this seasons center is a can

the military school this year, and sew
eral of the boys are out on the field
daily doing light work.
The outlook for baseball timber next
season is much brighter than for sew
eral years, and from the showing made
Coach G.. O. Lockwood will produce

will contest from supremacy.
