inches long, but with no effort of any
kind on it's part it brought the car to
a sudden stop while rear tire Missed
in rage and helplesspess until it COM
pletely lost it's breath.
A hasty rummage through the box
under the rear seat disclosed the fact
that all of the tubes that were carried
to be used as first aid to the injured
had already done thir full duty in
that respect and were incapacitated
for further service until they were
made whole once more by some kindly
vulcanizer.
At that season of the year it was no
joke to be left out in the country many
blocks from a street car and with no
shade or place of shelter from the
burning rays of a beaming California
sun.
Hurfiedly the driver ran behind the
car so that the women could not hear
just what he was saying about the
lack of a tube. One of the sympathetic
women volunteered to do what she
could to help. Her offer was immedi-
ately accepted and she was asked to
go to a nearby phone not more than a
mile distant and call up Al Worthing-
ton in the distant city of Los Angeles.
The trouble, explained to that good
genius, he would rub his magic lamp or
words to that effect and presto, new
tube would be sent out forthwith, or
maybe fifthwith, according to the size
of the tire.
After being imposed upon by three
or four long distance operators in sue
cession the brave volunteer succeeded
in getting Genius AL on the line, but
had forgotten by then what she had
been told to phone after.
There is man out here that is in
trouble she began, land he wants
you to send him something"
"Well what Is the trouble?' said Al

call it," said the volunteer, "but the
man talks like it was something
dreadful and he wants you to send
him something t fix it."
"Well, what shall L send him?" said
Al.
Il don't know what you ought to
send; that is your business, and he
wants it right away" the fair one
peevishly remar ed, for she had
walked many blocks in the sun and
then had to submit to the dilatory
tactics of the telephone girls.
"Well. I am sure | don't know what
to send him." AL repeated, land I can't
find out unless you tell me- he told
the woman.
"Oh, send, him anything; only send
him something right away, as we don't
want to wait out here all day." snap

ton which reduces the supply of labor
in a period when the alien element
can best be dispensed with; and an
encouraging increase in freight traffic,
together with reports of more or less

some of the industries.
The movements of trade are pro
gressive, therefore, even though it
must be conceded that they are but
moderately advancing There is good
reason for believing that the return

great loss TO the railroads, in the
decline of transportation to and from

stated. The shrinkage of many mil
lions in imports and exports makes
a great difference in the receipts not
only of the ocean carriers, but for the
overland traffic as well, both east and
west, which results from heavy ocean
commerce into and out of the coun-
