The story is told of a school teacher
who reproved a factory girl pupil for
not learning her geography lesson,
says the Emmett Index.
The next day the child's mother ap-
peared on the scene and let go of this
philippe: II guess you don't know it all

get through so that she gets man.
You never mind about geography. I
don't care just so she gets through I
want her to get through. My other
daughter she didn't know geography
and she got through, and she got man
all right. Lots of girls they don't know
geography and they get men. But
you-you land she pointed her finger
directly at the teacher), you amt got
no man ut all and can't git none.

The newspaper is the great national

and hence, as an advertising medium,
it is by far the cheapest and best; and

Designations for Avenues


The end of the labors OF the street
names commission is in sight. Yester-
days meeting unlike previous ses-
sions. was almost a love feast. The
only real differences of opinion devel-
oped among the members of the com
mission themselves. The residents of
Richmond, Sunset and southern San
Francisco threw pleasant verbal bou-
quets to Chairman Murdoch and Super
visor Payot, or advanced new sugges-
tions with a delicacy born of the con-
cessions already received.
The commission hopes to be able to
make its final report TO the board of
supervisors Monday. The residents in
the southern sections of the city are
invited to send in today suggestions
for remaining the 40 odd avenues
south Of that district. The list of
substitutions for Richmond and Sun
sets alphabetical streets was finally
completed after fashion yesterday
The result is a small smattering of
redoubtabIe Spaniards, with healthy
majority of celebrated Americans.

COMMISSION AGAINST PAYOT
Commissioner McGilvray made a
short lived proposal that First ave-
nue.. instead of being called "St Fran
els avenue should be named after
Major General Mcdowell. and the COM
mission passed to other streets.
Pavot held out for both Turk and
Balboa. the latter as the substitute
for B street, but the rest of the COM
mission wanted Turk street to run to
the sea. !
The supervisor was worsted again
when he stood up for Tom Paine.

Attention has been called, in a brief
way, to the Significance of the large
