BOARD MAY CALL
SPECIAL ELECTION
Alameda School Directors Fear
General Bond Project Is
Becoming Topheavy

ALAMEDA, Nov. 13.-It is probable
that the board OF, education, which
wants 100000 for school improvements,
will call a special election which it has
power to do under the charter and have
nothing to do with the general project
of the city council to call an election
for $S50.000 bonds for various city
improvements. including school better
ments
The board of education was first TO
ask that a bond election be called to
secure money for school improvements
President Z. b. Bullock of the city
council then suggested that $4,000 be
raised by the bond fnethod for INSTALL
ing sewer on the south side of the
city. Following the plan to put in
salt water fire lighting system, to cost
100000, emanated from the city coun
ell with the request that it also be in
cluded in the bond election Police
and Fire Commissioner Al Latham fell
in line and asked that $4,000 be pro-
vided for in the bond project for a
red light signal system for the police
department and that another $4,000 be
raised for an automobile hook and lad
der truck. There was also some talk
IF a municipal garbage crematory, but
this proposition may be dropped.
The city council Will hold special
meeting Thursday night, at which the
bond project will be considered, and at
which the board of education is eX-
pected to announce its attitude toward
the bond matter

Present.

Copyright, 1906, by G. II. Picard.

- = OHEN Allen Armita2e dled,
AAx which he did suddenly
on his sixtieth birthday,
everybody wondered what
would become Of Janet-pretty, IRE
sponsible Janet, his young VIE she
had been Armitage's wife since her
eighteenth birthday He had not made
up his mind to marry until he was
past fifty.
Although he was sufficiently alert as
to the main chance In business deal
ings, Armitage had not been marked
IL successful in his ventures. The
wear before his death he discovered a
promising bed Of fire clay on piece
Of land which he owned on the out
skirts Of the village, and he made up
his mind to exploit 1t to his own adj
vantage. He had little ready money,
the limit to obtain the means to float
the enterprise. Before it began to
yield an appreciate return he was
beyond the need Of 1t. 1t was prom
ising undertaking-al Crosskill admit
ted it-but that did not restrain her
friends from wondering as to the prob
able future OF Janet.
They had not long to speculate The
day after the funeral Janet told Tom
Masterson, her father. who was at
least ten years the junior of her late
husband, that she intended to devote
all her energies to the development of
the brickyard Tom knew from past
experience that 1t would be fruitless to
object, but he did and in the course Of
the argument which followed became
so earnest in his opposition that he
was led to apply TO his daughter an
epithet against the use Of which the
Scriptures are notably explicit.
"Tm not fool" she dissented
proudly, "and now that l have a chance
I'm going to demonstrate the fact"
Janet did demonstrate it. and the
way she did it was a revelation. In
less than two years after she assumed
control of the brickmaking business it
became so profitable that she was able
~ pay Oh Qli Tic lIlucDtcuucSS ucu
she proceeded to enlarge the plant and
to improve the quality of her product.
Almost before she realized it she had
a most gratifying credit at the village
bank. Owing to the superior nature
OF her product the demand for Janet's
wares became greater than she could
supply. The man whom she employed
as superintendent turned out to be a
veritable treasure, and under his hon.
est and clever management there ex-
listed the most perfect harmony be-
tween the small army Of Italian brick
makers and their capable employer.
Before she was thirty-five Janet had
become the village magnate Prospect
ty and the outdoor life had done great
things for her. She had developed into
noble woman, freed from the trivial
tiles which had been a part Of her
girlhood and endowed with that COM
pleted cOmeliness which is never with
in the grasp of the very young So
she seemed to everybody who knew
her and more especially to John Rossi

Senator Burkett
Talks Of Women
Gives Address at Methodist Church
on New Woman and the
Young Man"

''rhe new woman does not live alone to-
day; she lived yesterday, she lives today
and will live tomorrow" said Elmer J..
Burkett, senior senator from Nebraska at
the Hansoom park Methodist church where
he was introduced by former Senate J. H.
Willard, whose guest he was while in
Omaha.
The subject chosen by the senator was
the New Woman and the Young Mau."
He said that the new woman Is not the
woman who works about the farm In her
father's overalls or sits on tho fence and
whistles at psssersby or wears the divided
gov ms Of the effete east.
my young woman of whom I will speak
tonight is the young woman of all ages;
the young woman who is in advance Of her
time; the American woman who has been
the helpmeet Of the pioneer and who has
helped man develop the frontier" he con-
tinued.
II would speak of the woman who has
inspired man TO deeds of heroism. who has
been his Inspiration while in battle, the
bright and lovable woman Of modern times.
/ woul speak of the educated woman who
is not an innovation of the present but
who has been coming into her proper
sphere for the last hundred years"
The senator then told of the wonderful
growth and development of this country
and ended by saying that woman was re-
sponsible for more than half OF that
growth and development during the last
fifty years.
THE young man and the young woman
Of this country have gone hand in hand,
each respecting the other and this mag
nificent country is the result"
