The city OF san Francisco now owns

Not only have we acquired all the
lands necessary for the water storage, "
added Manson, but we have also Sc
cured power privileges of enormous

City Attorney Long pointed out that
the city had entrenched its position in
regard to the federal grants now

Ballinger, by the purchase of all pri-

money to improve the holdings. Yes

girls games will consist of series OF
relay races, as follows: Shuttle relay,
pass ball relay, all UP relay. Throwing
the basket ball for distance will be
an event also. 1t will be seen from
this that all of these games will pro-
duce exercise to an extent of healthful
results and none of the events are Sc
we're. They are mild. yet including all
of the fascinating phases of competi-
ton and excitement.
In the development of the good work
found in the physical exercise for girls,
including folk dancing and athletics, it
has been recognized that there are GER
tain dangers and the problem is to Sc
cure the good results without fostering
the evil possibilities BY having folk
dancing at festivals, for school and So
cial purposes only, the idea of cultivat-
ing girls to the thought that they can
make money by exhibiting their dane
ing can be eliminated. In the folk
dances the use of national costumes of
the country from which the dance is
taken adds to it's beauty, but it has
been found that more harmonious re-
suits are attained where the costume is
that of unity. This is the chief artistic
element, because it gives to all the
members of the class that impression
of homogenity which is one of the basic
basal principles of art. This can be
accomplished by the use of some simple
decoration, such as a uniform colored
The San Francisco call., 1910-03-05

ribbon in the hair. a sash, a scarf or
the like. which might be of very cheap
material, so as not to be a burden of
expense to the girl. The use of cos
tunes tends also to make the
folk dancing more of an exhibition
than 1t really is--a form of physical
exercise. The doing away with cos
tunes, except on very special occasions,
such as Independence day celebrations
or the like, will also lessen the chance
of social class distinction between,
those who could afford to buy them and
those who could not.
Wholesome exercise and a reasonable
degree of competition can be secured
by games between teams within the
classes of the schools and between the
classes within the same school, and
this is the prominent feature that the
men of the Public Schools Athletic
league Of this city are endeavoring to
bring about as an established part of
the school curriculum. 1t is a move of
the generation and one which must
soon be properly placed on an intelli-
gent footing in connection with the de-
veloping of the youth of the country.
The public school is more than place
to learn figures and read books. 1t is
the seat of all civic and social improves
ment,. of which the value of the mind
and body is increased by such methods
as furthered by the Public Schools Ath-
letic league.
The San Francisco call., 1910-03-05

ton the highest praise is due and 1t is
certain that the school atmosphere is
being made, much more healthfuI and
attractive as a result.
Twelve basket ball teams, including
from seven to ten players, were en-
tered in the recent tournament for the
girls, The games have been played in
the presence of the teachers and parents
amid considerable enthusiasm, and the
effect of this recreation has been the
occasion of exceptional testimonials
from the guardians of the pupils. In
order to encourage after school prac-
tice in the events sanctioned by the
league a limited number of perpetual
trophies have been donated to the sue
cessful teams. AS manner of fur
thering the interest in the class games
which will be introduced in the near
future it is planned to award class
pins as prizes for superior effort.
Foremost in all this movement is the
idea to advance the scholarship stand
ing OF the girls as wei. as the boys
and admission to the games and rec
reation even after school hours must
be subject to a satisfactory report in
effort, department and proficiency. In
order to take part in an interclass
competition every girl must have re-
ceived a mark of at least B for the
month previous in proficiency and A in
effort and department. Other than

few years ago all the big game
fishes off the southern California coast
were taken by handlines now they are
landed with the lightest tackle, rod and
reel. In a general way the big game
fishes are: The amberjack, sailfsh,
black grouper, kingfsh, and tarpon of
Florida; the black seabass, tuna (three
varieties), white seabass, yellowtail,
and japanese swordfsh Of southern
California. The last mentioned is the
most important addition to the list, and
can be said to rank among the first.
The swordfish Is common in Japan
and Santa Catalina. 1t attains length
OF ~ or IA feet and a weight Of 400
pounds. 1t appears in June in southern
California, but has been caught only
ait Santa Catalina and San Clemente. 1t
is seen swimming singly and in pairs
on the surface, sometimes in large
schools and disappears in October or
November.
Special boats have been designed for
this and other fishes In these waters
IS or 20 foot launches, to 12 horse-
power with a wide seat astern. The
two anglers sit side by side. one fishing
to the right. the other to the left. Be-
hind them sits the boatman or gaffer
who is also engineer. The engine is
amidships or we'll forward, the wheel
on the side of the boat, as rule, so
that the boatman can sit with his right
hand on the wheel, the left on the
clutch ready to stop or back at a mo-
ment's notice. At the moment of the
strike the skiff is cast off and a man
rows or guides the boat while the
launch stands by.
The swordfish is uncertain. You may
fish for a week and not see one; then
you may strike one the first day When
hooked the fish leaps like a tarpon.
Fifty-eight jumps have been counted

Presence of Mind

On New Years eve, at one of the
largest restaurants in New York, a
woman's dress caught fire, and, al
though surrounded by other diners, the
flame was not extinguished until she
had received burns from which she sub
sequently died.
1t seems incredible, yet 1T is a fact
And while the woman blazed,S and
shrieked in her agony, the men sought
to extinguish the flame with napkins
and their hands.
AS l journey through life in town or
in the wilderness, the quality find
most lacking in the human animal Is
presence of mind; and that is one of the
good reasons why 1 am so persistent
and outspoken an advocate of games
for boys, especially games where the
action is quick and where the boy must
needs think, and quickly, under stress
of combat, so to say.
Had there been any football players
within reach of that poor woman, one
of them would probably have had the
sense to take off his coat and smother
the fame.

Strange Fish Of Southern California

in a two hours play, and fish has
fought for four hours-the record.
This fish makes a splendid play when
not leaping, rushing away, often on
the surface, at times coming in seem
ingly for the boat. So far no boat
has been struck in southern California,
although many vessels are said to have
been seriously injured by their charges.
The leaping tuna Is the giant Of the
mackerel family. 1t attains a weight
of 1900 pounds, but the average fish
at Santa Catalina is about 150 pounds.
This fish is the hardest to catch of
all the game of the sea, as 1t gives the
angler the greatest strain. 1t is very
uncertain. For six or seven years it
came regularly to the islands and many
were taken; then it stopped biting for
several years. In 1909 it again ap
peared and gave the anglers who came
from all over the country and from
England a harvest. The tuna is row.
ing fish, travelling all temperate seas in
summer, going no one knows where
In winter 1t feeds on flying fish and
squid in the Pacific and all small fry
elsewhere.

The Sweetbrier

one DAY our first mother. Eve, was
walking in the Garden of Eden. She
loved the flowers and walked slowly,
stopping every now and then to bend
over them. She was never tired of the
flowers and spent many hours in the
garden.
One morning she saw a flower that
she had never seen before, the very
wIitest rose you can imagine. Our
mother Eve ran TO 1t quickly and lifted
the blossoms to her face.
oh" she cried, you are the most
beautiful flower in all the world" And
then she bent down and kissed ii.
When she let il swing back to its
place again all the pure white petals
were pink, for they had stolen some
Of the red from the lips of Eve.
