knife Better
THAN 4 HOE

A bloody cutting scrape in
which jealousy over a woman was
the motive on one side and resent
ment of abuse the motive on the
other, landed Asia Jones, negro
janitor, in the hands of the police
and put William Coates, dusky
coachman, in the hospital, this
morning. It all happened in a
dingy shack at Riverside avenue
and Colfax street.
Asia says he went over to
Coates house and asked for the
"cullud lady what borrud that ar
histree O. the Boore waa." Jones
loaned such book to the woman
a week ago, he claims.
His question regarding the
whereabouts of the woman angered
Coates, whom Jones says he didn't
know was about the house, and he
struck at the inquisitive janitor's
frizzled black scalp with a grub
bling hoe. Jones warded off the
blow and in twinkling jabbed him
with a rusty old knife he had found
lying in the street In fact he
jabbed him several times and
Coates howled murder and a few
more startling things with the re-
suit that riot call was turned in
to the police.
The grubbing hoe and bloody
knife are held in evidence against
the dusky combatants. Jones is
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon and Coates is held as a
witness against him.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The
Interstate commerce commission to-
day handed down a decision in the
case filed by the Pacific coast fur
niture merchants favoring the mer-
chants in the shipment of wood
mantels and metal beds, but up
holding the railroads in shipment
of other articles enumerated in the
complaint. The compliments were
headed by W. w. Montague of San
Francisco, who had Y other, deal
ers associated with him.
They complained that minimum
weight charged by the railroads
for carload lots on furniture is too
high. Montague contended the
minimum should be made low
enough so the merchant ordinarily
could load that much in car. The
roads, in some instances, charged
for the full capacity of car. He
asserted that in many cases 1t is
impossible TO load enough furniture
to make the capacity weight
charged.

Joy-Riders Back-the latest sum-
mer disease.
Doctors who are busy treating
summer visitors and stay-at-homes
for lame back and spinal pains
don't call it that, but the name fits
the complaint, all right.
Instead of a hangover headache,
the joy-rider now has backache.
The growth of joy-riding, whether
in automobile, steeplechase, merry
go-round or shoot-the-chuteS, as
practised at all the big summer
amusement parks, has made the
disease one to be recognized by sci
entists.
While painful and at times
fraught with danger it soon re-
spends to treatment.
A local dealer in automobiles
sums up the disease in this way:
Experienced motor car owners
those who own or drive cars con-
stantly-never get joy-rider's back
They may have slight attack of
it when they first ride in motor
cars, but it soon disappears, just as
saddle soreness will disappear in
the case of bicycle rider or eques-
trian.
What causes it? Why, the name
ought to tell. Joy-riding.
You see when fellow goes on
joy ride he wants to go fast. If
there's a bump in the road, instead
of going over it gently as would
be the case with nowner Of car
who is used to riding, the machine
! jumps in the air a foot or so and
the joy-rider is wrenched from his
seat and tumbles around until the
motor car steadies itself again.
The same is true of turning
corners. The careful driver slows
down at each corner and turns 1t
gently.
1.-The joy-rider on the other hand
constantly is urging the chauffeur
! to hit 'er up more, and the chauf-
! feur lets his car skid around cor
ners The passenger on joy ride
is yanked this way and that and
all the muscles of his back are
strained trying to hold his seat"
Any of the joy-riding devices at
the pleasure parks will do the
same thing.
Here's what the doctors call JOY
riders back:
Chronic arterial lesion produced
| in the dorsal and lumbar vertebral
regions through excessive strain of
the posterior muscles governing
| the torso's movement.
Especially to be found among
those who have ridden roughly in
motor cars, jolting vehicles and
amusement devices wherein the
motion is of intermittent speed.
Treatment: Abstinence from so
called 'joy-riding' until muscular
soreness and lesion is reduced or
eradicated: massaging the afflicted
parts with an emollient lotion twice
daily; nine hours of rest nightly
the body being allowed to lie In a
natural position.
If a Howard street broker or a
Browns addition resident comes
down to breakfast with one hand
rubbing a sore back and his body
bent up like he had rheumatism
it's only joy-rider's back.
Women suffer less than men
due. doctors think, to the protec
ton afforded by the long styles ol
corsets now in use.
