WITH A GREAT flourish and after much
advertising a "Great TRANSIT Continental
Relay Run" was started, on Saturday,
from Philadelphia. A courier was to
carry a letter from President Taft to
President Chilberg. of the Alaska ukon
exposition, besides message from Cover
nor Stuart. of Pennsylvania, to the Cover
nor of Washington, and another from the
Mayor of Philadelphia to the Mayor of
Seattle. Thirty-two automobiles were to
be used on the trip, to be tuned up to
the highest PITCH" racing against time,
with the police of the various towns to
wink at the breaking of speed laws and to
allow the machines to go through at
breakneck speed. Then. when the feat
was accomplished, the trumpets would
again blow and newspaper would spread
the fact of how great had been the work
at its suggestion. But the end came
sooner than was expected. Leaving Phil
adelphia at IL 30 with no fear of the out
come, full of life and hope, one car, within
three hours of its start, was brought to a
sudden stop, two of the occupants were
seriously hurt and were taken to hospi-
tai where they both died, while still
another was injured but not seriously.
One the men who were killed was the
courier who carried the messages In
stead of triumphant ending of what was
practically an advertising scheme, death
and sorrow have been brought to friends
and relatives. Had the expedition been
successful no especial benefit would have
accrued to the general public, but merely
a chance to show that automobiles had
made speed breaking record. The
promoters of the scheme cannot have any
very comfortable feelings over the present
situation.

by the score of five to one Thorn added
to his record as "has BEEN" He pitched
for Florence and was touched eight times.
Frost caught for Florence and had two
rank errors.

A MEDICAL journal bias figured up t

A MEDICAL journal has figured up the
fatalities of the Fourth of July and they
run up in the hundreds. Several cities
have already begun crusade against the
sale of explosives and ordinances have
been passed prohibiting the sale or use Of
any of the dangerous frecrackers or fire
works that cause damage to life and
property. If anything is to be done In
this line now Is the time to work on the
subject. To wait until few days Oh
weeks prior to the day which is usually
celebrated is all nonsense. By that time
the merchants who deal in such articles
have laid In stock and the people who
buy have frequently begun their pur
chases. To agitate the subject then brings
forth criticism upon anyone who dares tC
suggest that the law should be enforced
and ordinances that are adopted and pub
lished are merely laughed at If there Ii
an earnest desire to abate what has grown
to be great menace to human life
now is the time to get busy and take step'
to have measures adopted that will b
effectual.

Women Who Hate Men.

From time to time strange instances
crop up of women who not merely re-
main unmarried of their own free will,
but carry their antipathy to the oppo-
site sex to most peculiar lengths.
Thus one of these is utterly resolved
to have nothing whatever to do with
men on any pretext. All her food is
bought of women, and consequently
meat never appears on her table, since
there is no female butcher in her
neighborhood.
Not long since a handsome legacy
was refused simply because it came
from a man, while instances are
known of women who make it their
boast that they have neither spoken to
nor allowed one of the opposite sex to
cross their thresholds for quarter Of
a century and upward.
But probably. the bitterest man hater
of modern days was an Austrian lady
who at the time of her death was en-
gagged in perfecting an elaborate plan
for the ultimate extinction of the male
sex.-London Globe.

DR.. Caleb Mum back in 1903 or 1904

night at a road house. his horse and

man realized that a wagon was fol

the steed and shouted:

OF course the rafting ceased, and no
body responded, and nothing was Wis

horse into a gallop. saying, They'll
never overtake u.s." The wagon clat-
tered on behind up hill and down dale.

HEALTH BOARD AND
INSPECTORS CONFER
Mayor Alexander Appoints Physician
of Homeopathic School to Succeed
DR.. Seymour of Harper's For
n1er Commission

Mayor Alexander made the last APP
pointment in his gift for the boards
over which he acts as chairman yes
terday when he named DR.. Elmer A.
Clarke for the health commission to
succeed DIR. Seymour, resigned. Dr.
Clarke's name will be sent to the
council Tuesday for confirmation. In
naming DIR. Clarke Mayor Alexander
has recognized the homeopathic school
of medicine. He graduated from the
Cleveland Homeopathic Medical col
lege in 1873. He has practiced medicine
in Los Angeles since 1884 and is rec
ognized as one of the foremost pny-
sicians in Los Angeles in his brancn
of medicine.
The new board of health, the mayor
and every inspector, and practically
every employe of the health depart
ment. held a conference in the mayor S
office Yesterday. This conference was
purely educational as far as the board
of health was concerned.
Every inspector was questioned on
his duties, the salary he received, the
hours he worked, whether he was sat
isfied with the hours and pay and what
suggestion he had to make for the bet
terment of the branch of the depart
ment in which he was most interested
This conference lasted from A O'Clock
until nearly and when 1t was con-
Guided all seemed to feel better for the
heart to-heart talk.
"Well, l guess this new health board
is going to take an interest IN our
work" said the inspectors as they left
the office of the mayor.
1--WE learned more in two hours by
this little conference than we could
have learned in six months any other
way" said Mayor Alexander.

SIZE OF LOAVES OF BREAD
TO BE REDUCED BY BAKERS
Say Increase in Price OF Wheat
Makes Change Neces-
sary

Bakers of Los Angeles will meet to-
night to agree on uniform size OF
loaves of bread, following the reduction
in weight made necessary through the
increased price of wheat. The bakers
will resist any attempt of the city
sealer of weights to prevent reduction
in weight or advance IN the prlce q
bread. although they feel that the latter
expedient is hardly feasible. They have
looked up legal citations and are con-
WINGED that nothing can be done by the
CITY to interfere with their regulation
of the weight of loaf.
Bakers in all parts of the city claim
that present prices of wheat make re-
duction in weight absolutely necessary,
They say that a restoration of normal
market quotations will bring a resump-
ton of the old weight for a nickel, but
that conditions now make change in
eyitable and that this has already been
undertaken by most of the bakers. The
important work tonight will be to make
the change as uniform as possible.
