The three men were aboard Southern Pacific locomotive in the yards i,ere. when Carroll lowered a lighted torch into the crude oil tank of the locomo- tive. He wanted to see how much oil was inside, but a blinding flash made of him a pre-Fourth victim, and sent his two companions to hospital with dangerous burns.

DOLLY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
 TO THE GIRL WITH A ''JOB
Some Letters That Give An Insight Into Things Not Generally Well Meaning Friends Often Stand In the Way of Success-H You Are Doing the Best You
 Can You Needn't Worry About the Rest.
 Truly Good Job Is Rather to Be Chosen Than Great Riches
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Letters of all sorts and descriptions come to gttis department every day. Be- fore me iafe three from girls who, within the past three months have started out to make h living and write to me ask ing some advice.
 In each case the girls had to go to work or be dependent on their relatives who were scarcely able to take care of themselves.
 It was this dependence that seemed to gall, and the opportunity to go out into the world and work was a joyful pros pect.
 Of the three letter I have received I think perhaps I am more impressed with the one signed Anna s.
 She writes;
 My Dear Mrs Dolly: I read every day your articles and am always inn pressed with what you say in behalf of people who labor, and especially women who have to earn their own living. I want to submit my case to you. l ac- cepted position three months ago with an elderly lady as company, at a salary of $40 a month, and all my expenses. Of course I was terribly humiliated when I had to go to work, but I couldn't stand being an object of charity. Of coufse I am closely confined in my work and have only one afternoon a week to myself. Every day that I have been out have met different friends and they have been so patronizing and sympathetic that it has made me positively sick. They all say they are so sorry for me, and it makes me so mad I want to fight. l very fooishly told several of them what sal ary I am receiving and they thing it is . mere pittance and that q could do better What do you advise?'
 My Dear Miss Anna g., whoever you happen to be, let me tell you one thing at the very beginning
 It ais not an exaggeration to say that often our friends take the bread out of our mouths by the very best of inten- tions:
 Your letter is a typical one from the average untraned girl who goes out into the world dissatisfied, unrestfu and un- happy, because she must go to work.
 Yon are very foolish to discuss your business aHalrS WltH any pouy particularly. ; I have often wondered If the wise person who wrote Lord save us from our friends and we can take care of our enemies" hadn't passed through the ex- perienGe of losing a good position on account of some well meaning friend with nothing but advice to offer, and persuaded him that the place he held was beneath him!
 Anybody reading between the lines, Miss Anna S., can plainly see that 1t

is not the hard work incidental to the position of companion you hold, but the fact that people are pitying you, that has caused your letters to me and your own dissatisfaction with yourself. l should say that the author of the letter is an unwise young person, to allow idle friends who never have to think of where they are to get shelter and bread and clothes to wear, (and if they had couldn't make money enough to buy shoe leather), to criticize the fact that you have to work. To be sure $40 a month isn't princely salary, but its mighty good one to start on and when you take into consideration that you are just starting on business ca reer you couldn't possibly expect the wages of a competent person, no mat ter how nice and agreeable and de- serving you are.
 Let me tell you Miss Anna S., no woman who is working and making her living is TO BE FITTED. Rather
 SHE IS TO BE ENvIED, that she has the ability to support herself. No matter how humble the beginning there Is everything in the way you full fill your trust.
 We dignify our work by the way we do it.
 The next time anybody says you are poor little thing" and they "are so sorry for you,' just turn and say: T am willing to believe you, provid- ed you have something better to of- fer. If not, suppose you reserve your sympathy for some poor woman who wants to work, and cant find it.. My dear friends, whether you are sell ing stamps or trimming bonnets, keeping books or cleaning lamps, no matter what, if you are doing the best you know how you are adding to the long list of women who are worth while, and you do not need sympathy.
 You. need never be ashamed of what you are doing if it brings you independ- ence, and a chance to be of use in this great big world.
 And don't ever get the idea in your head that you are bigger than your work. I'd lots rather be good waitress than bad actress. Wouldn't you?
 
 add 50 cents worth of beauty to hand than an indifferent artist who gets mad when his daubs are not cataloged as tart"
 I hold that a poor girl who knows how to manipulate her typewriter well evol1es higher harmonies than the rich girl who plays the piano half-heartedly and sings Nike screech owl.
 The modest little telephone girl at the switchboard is, to my mind. setting an example of sweetness and patience more far-reaching than the suffragette whose speeches appear daily in the papers. You've asked me- Miss Anna s. for my opinion and l say truly that I think a good job is rather to be chosen than great riches and if every woman who earns her own living will only remember that big positions from small beginnings grow, she will not only be much hap pier, but a much better business woman, and entirely above the comments of her well meaning but idle friends.

TEMPE
THE NEW EXTENSION
 OF WATER SYSTEM
Work On It will Probably Begin
 Within Few Weeks.

Material for the Goldman addition extension of the citys water service is now arriving and most of the pipe will probably be on hand by the last of this week. Unfortunately, there has been a slight delay in securing the hydrants which were ordered through a Los Angeles firm but which were secured by them from an eastern firm. It may be a couple of weeks before they arrive How ever, immediately upon their arrival. the work of putting in the extension will be started. This being done, the residents of that section of town will have as perfect fire protection as any other portion of the town.
 The new work will probably cost in the neighborhoOd of twenty-five hun dred dollars This will aggregate something over seven thousand dol lars that the town has expended iu extending its water system within the last two years It is not sur prising that at this rate the town has laid aside very little money. but nevertheless, it has held its own and has not gone into debt Aside from the original issue of the water works bonds, the town has no outstanding indebtedness and the improvements that are now being made will. of course, make the revenue of the sys- tenn just that much greater
