CLOSETS MUST
Be CONNECTED
IMMEDIATELY
CHIEF OF POLICE EXPRESSES
DETERMINATION TO ENFORCE
ORDINANCE REQUIRING CON-
NEcTIONS WITH SEWERS
PROPERTY OWNERS TO HE AR
RESTED FOR VIOLATIONS.

Chief Sanders states that beginning
Immediately persons owning property
or who are agents for property on
streets where there are sanitary sewers
will be arrested for failure to connect
water closets on their premises with
the sewers.
It seems that a great many people
are under the impression that II Is
necessary for them to be notified to
make these connections, but such is
not the case. There is a city ordi-
nance which makes the failure to make
the required connections a violation OF
the law, as much so as the law which
prohibits public drunkenness. This
months, and the chief of police IL OF
the opinion that property owners have
been given sufficient time In which to
make the connections.
1t is a well known fact that, egpe-
cially in warm weather, the use of sur
face closets or unsanitary water
closets which are improperly connect
ed or in any manner deficient Is ex-
tremely dangerous and derogatory to
the health Of the community.
Chief Sanders. speaking to a repre-
sentative of the Journal yesterday af-
ternoon, said: II wish you would call
the attention of the property owners
to the ordinance regarding sewer con-
nections. for am going to begin maxi
ing arrests for violation OF this law.
Now that warm weather is setting In,
the health Of the community depends
largely upon a sanitary condition Of
the premises and ! am going to see
that this sanitary sewerage law is exc
cuted II have to arrest every prop
erty owner in the city"

That again was awful. and q damper

He did his best to keep anoat; ne yell

And made promises he'll never keep,
or swear he never made.
There was an old negro who was fish,
he saw the boys plight and quickly
got spry,

shoes,
In he plunged after the boy, to save
him or to lose.
He got him safely to the wharf and

Meanwhile some one had swiped the
old mans coat and cane,
AWaife man near by. who saw the
whole thing in amaze,
Thought the deed heroic and deserving
OF great praise.

On the contrary. If you eat food known to

SOM z OF THE
NEW BAGS.

One of the newest handbags is quite
small, in contrast to the mammoth
ones that have been the fad. The
favorite shape is oblong, about seven
inches wide and about five deep. Tho
special favorites for spring are in COL
ored leather, in shades of mauve, april
cot, blue, violet and red. They usual
ly carry on the outside flap three
small initials in gold, or in a darker
shade than the leather.
Most Of these bags though small,
have on one side compartments for
mirror and vanity case, and on the
other a place for the handkerchief and
cardcase: Others have special change
purses attached by light chain, so it
can easily be pulled out in a crowd in
stead Of delving into the crowded
bag.

BArTLEsHIP FORTS.

Why should battleships of an obso-
lete type be condemned to the scrap
heap?
The Scientific American suggests
that there is no need of any such con-
Idemnation; that old battleships could
easily be converted into forts suitable
for coast defense. 1t applies its sug-
gestion particularly to the Panama
canal. 1t says:
The approaches on the Pacific can
he most readily provided with battle
ships because the Gulf Of Panama is
shallow and two such battleship forts
could be advantageously located sever
al miles from Panama. on the Allan
tic side there will be some difficulty TO
find suitable sites, but two such forts
can be placed in more advanced posi-.
tons than any Notifications of the
present type that could be built on the
land. Such battleship forts could be
installed at the approach To our har-
bors i'm less than 100 working days"
Objection has already been made by
Secretary Meyer to the customary
plan of trying to keep old ships in
commission by means Of extensive and
expensive repairs. This objection may
not fit every case. Some naval experts
saw. for instance. that the Oregon is
today as good as any Dreadnought.
But the older battleships have not
the requisite speed TO find places for
themselves in a first class battle line
today. That is the chief drawback.
The deterioration in armament is less:
in armor, it is practically nil. Hence
tho idea Of constructing "battleship
forts" TO serve not only the military
but the economical needs of the times.
