SAN FRANCISCO, July with the
passing of the slot machines today 4
large number of saloons and cigar
stores in this city laid in stock Of
dice, with the expectation that Gus
toners of a venturing turn of mind
would solace themselves with this less
exciting game of chance.
But under an old ordinance passed
SO long ago that it had been practi-
cally forgotten dice shaking is mis-
demeanor. and Chief of Police Cook
instructed his officers to stop this form
of gambling if it threatened to be-
come an evil.
The arrest Of a saIoonkeeper and one
of his customers has frightened the
dealers who planned to substitute the
dice for the slot machine, and the old
custom of shaking for the drinks or
cigars became a thing Of the past to-
day. squad of plain clothes men
have been keeping watch on the sa-
looms and cigar stores. but no viola
tions of the new ordinance have yet
been reported.
Several of the cigar dealers who de-
pended almost entirely on their slot
machine patronage have already closed
their doors, and 1t is said that over
500 clerks will be thrown out of en-
ployment by the new ordinance.

A sanitary mask which is TO be tried
by the street sweepers Of New York
City to prevent breathing in dust might
be used by the workers in the granite
plants to advantage. The Springfield
Republican even suggests its use BY
street ear users in its city, saying:
"The street sweepers of New York
City are to wear sanitary masks Of
gauze over mouth and nostris hereafter
The commissioner has adopted a new
hat with this attachment He says that
these sweepers are 50 often laid Oh with
infectious diseases, undoubtedly con-
tracted from the germs Of the street,
that It Is a mater Of departmental econ
ony as well as OF humanity TO protest
them Catarrhal trouble is expected to
be entirely prevented by the mask. Here
ia suggestion worthy Of consideration
by patrons Of the Springfield street cars
who are so often compelled to ride in
the rear yestibule and breathe the swirl
ing dust, full laden with germs An
ingenious person could contrive 10 build
gauze mask to be carried in the pocket
until the emergency arose.
1t seems certain that some day an
invention Of this sort win prove 20 valu-
able that II will be generally used in
the granite plants, where the dust il
very prevalent. Some inventive genius
ought to turn his attention to the devils
ing Of some instrument that will really
prove satisfactory.

"At the annual meeting of the state

ment that out-of-state automobiles
should be made to pay 4 nominal tax to
Vermont as soon as they entered its
boundaries, 50 THAT the state can keep
track Of them through their registra-
ton We heartily disapprove Of this
plan. Vermont's poor roads send enough
auto traffic elsewhere without the as
sistance Of additional regulations. The
state ought to do everything possible
to induce outside autoists to come here

Of annoying rules that viii tend to keep
them out Bmttleboro Reformer
The Messenger Is disposed to believe
the contemporary Is smpbatically right
in every particular. II it is desirable
for any public purpose to have visiting
automobiles registered, well and good,

spend money. And even 4 nominal tax
