declared that Thomas was not a good
fireman.

taken flask of whisky to engine house

bers of that company to drink from it.

ed Capt, Moore of the engine company

away. Myers admitted he had violated
a rule of the department and talked
discourteously to Capt. Moore. Chief
Lips recommended his dismissal.

AQUEDUCT WORKERS WANT
EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN
Employees on South Portal Division
Request Board to Provide
Suitable School

Employees of the city on the South
Portal division of the aqueduct have
again requested the board of public
works to take some steps to provide a
suitable school for their children by
the time the fall term opens. The
board will make every effort to grant
this request. as IL is difficult to keep
good men with their families on the
aaueduct because of the lack of school
facilities.
The county officials were recently
asked TO establish a school in the dis
trict. but legal questions were raised
A school district, under the law, must
contain a certain number of children
of school age and the number at South
Portal is not sufficient The advisory
of the aqueduct will try to
find some way to get around this feat
ure of the law.

CONFERENCE TO DETERMINE
WEIGHT OF LOAF OF BREAD

SeaIer to Consider New
Ordinance

Mayor Alexander issued yesterday
invitations to the members of the city
council, the Master Bakers association
and the city sealer of weights and
measures to meet with him in his Of
flee Saturday morning at 10 o'clock to
consider some ordinance regulating the
weight of bread. The action decided
on at this meeting will probably be
used as a basis by the council for a
new bread ordinance.
The council passed an ordinance
fixing a loaf of bread at thirty two
ounces and providing that fractions of
loaves containing twentyfour, sixteen
and eight ounces could be sold. The
bakers made serious objections to this
ordinance and the council passed an
other ordinance repeating the bread
ordinance.
The mayor vetoed the repeating or
dinance because he believed there
should be some regulation of bread.
The council delayed action on the
mayors veto and suggested the con-
ference.

ADMIRAL PROTESTS
AGAINST CIGARETTES
Commander-in-Chief of Atlantic Bat
tIeshp Fleet Says Certain Smok-
ing lmpars Usefulness of
the Bluejackets

WASHINGTON, June 17-Cigarette
smoking by enlisted men of the navy
should be discouraged as much as
possible is the opinion of Rear Admiral
Seaton Schroeder, commander-in-chie
of the Atlantic battleship fleet.
Admiral Schroeder desires to see the
ban placed upon the habit and has re-
commended the secretary of the navy
that no cigarettes be sold at the ships
store on any of the vessels under his
command. 1t is probable that Score
tary Meyer will take action in accord
ance with Admiral Schroeders recon-
mendations.
Admiral Schroeder began his obser
walton as to the effect of cigarette
smoking by jackies at different times
while he was executive officer on sew
eral ships of the navy. He believes
that cigarettes impair the health of
the men and do not in any way tend
to increase their efficiency for duty.

Are Americans Irreyerent7

A religious periodical insists that the
absence of a true churchly spirit Of
reverence is an insurmountable obstacle
in the way Of church unity, and raises
the question whether it would not be
better TO make young Rmerica a ritz
ualist out and out than TO bring him up
q boor.
Puritanism, BY tearing down ritz
ualism, our religious contemporary
would have is believe, destroyed rev-
erence And because the ordinary se-
quenee Of worship fwhatever this isl IS
lacking, Christian denominations can
not come together in normal manner.
Each church naturally believes its
own narrow, special road to heaven il
the only straight road. 1t win not give
up its distinct entity For each church
the only normal manner in which all
churches could possibly come together
would be its own manner
IL Americans do not revere the church,
religious newspapers should perhaps
seek within the church and not within
the American citizen for the reason.
And they should not forget that rever-
ence Of the church and reverence Of Cod
may sometimes be entirely different
states of mind, the latter Of which does
not at all necessarily include the for
mer. Rutland News.
