NOw's THE TINE TO WAGE
WAR ON THE DANDEuoN.

The daudelion Is here again, but
it IS only the advance guard Of the
vast army of dandelions that will
arrive from now on until June. War
has been declared on the little plants
and many Abileneites have been ont
with their knives. and the death list
is reported large. One yard infested
with dandelIons will cause much
grief for a whole neighborhood. A
few drops Of gasoline win kill a
plant and knife with a long handle
especially prepared for the use of
digging up dandelions can be pur-
chased for a small sum.

That the people living along the
streets to be paved desire a smooth
pavement and are opposed to brick,
was the sentiment of the mass meet
ing OF nearly two hundred property
owners at the commercial club rooms
last night. G. c. Sterl made a mo-
tion that vote be taken to ascer-
tain the sentiment of the property
owners whether brick or smooth
pavement be preferred. 1t was sec
onded and the standing vote showed
that all but two favored the smooth.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Nichols. J. M. Walters
was made chairman and c. E. shad.
niger secretary.
A motion that smooth pavement
be recommended to the commission
ers was seconded and carried unan-
imously.
, Another motion that the commis-
siOners consider all smooth pave
ments and select whatever they con-
sidered the best for the money met
the hearty approval of all present.
Talks were made by j. B. Case,
Commissioner Forney, Commissioners
Matteson, Mayor Nichols, City Engi-
neer Riddle, c. A, Hodge, @. c.

KEPT COOL HEAD AND
FOUGHT FIRE SINGLE HANDED

Because she kept a cool head and
put out a small fire Mrs. George
Roemer probably saved her home
from being badly damaged last night.
Mrs. Roemer went into closet with
a lighted match which caught fire
to a paper bag. The fire spread
rapidly. Mrs. Roemer did not be-
come excited and waste time in
turning in a fire alarm, but rushed
to the kitchen and grabbed a tub
of water and put out the fire after
hard fight.

BREED THEATER.
Splendid Western Feature Thrills and
 PIeases Large Audiences.

The Sheriffs Mistake" one of the most astonishingly accurate life DOT trayRls that has come to the Breed in a long time, holds the screen and thrills and entertains the audiences of large proportions. It is a story with the true and distinct air of the west lingering about it, and has in it's long list of exciting events a thoroughly good, old-fashioned hoid-up. with all of its consequent difficulties. A very strong plot holds these events together and makes of 1t one of the successes of the bill. Some especially refined comedy is supplied in the fine Edison film, A Doctor for an Hour, and de- picts the difficulties of young doctor who in taking a bath in the alluring stream, is deprived of his clothing by a knight of the road, who imperson- ates the doctor, and gets into many troublous incidents thereby. How the real doctor secures his clothing and his Identity, is the real theme of the picture and wins many smiles from the spectators. Raymond O'Neil is heard in splendid illustrated songs, as is J. E. Calldns both winning the flavor of the houses.

Surf Board Ridind.

Waikiki beach, where surf board riding may be witnessed in its per lection, is some three miles from the center of Honolulu, and is easily reached by tram. It is virtually a curve in the short fronting directly upon the vast Pacific ocean. yet pro- tected by a great coral reef nearly a mile from shore.
 Against this barrier the mighty roll CTS from the sea stub their toes so to speak, says a writer in the Wide World. and pitch headlong in foam crested rides across the lagoon and on to the coral sand of the beach. The great trick is to ride upon the first or outer wave and be carried by those that subsequently, form right on to the beach.
 The boards used are of light ma hogany, some six feet in length by eighteen inches wide. Upon this frail craft, the heaviest man may stand if he knows how. while the force of the water is behind him, but in quiet wa ter it will readily sink under the weight of a child. Like every other kind of sport, surf board riding re- quires c certain knack, and the knack hsre is to send your board shooting through the water at the right mo- ment and at the right speed.
 To do this really successful you must develop certain muscles in the arms and shoulders, You must learn first how to lie flat on the board in deep water, how te balance yourself whsn there, and how to send the frail craft feFwafd by using your arms like 8 pair of windmi1lS and working your legs Nike the paddles of a canoe,
 Having mastered the points, you start on the long rollers beyond the breakers, As the waves roll ever yeu you dip ths bow of your board and gs through them, Once out where the big rollers begin te form, Fel mount your board just as a wave with a feathered edge comes along, Tine mo- meEt befsFs 1t reaches you, yeH thEew your arms TsgRd Gapidiy, pushing your craft forward as fast as you can, as if ts escape the wave behind.
 If yea have judged the right aas- HaeRt and are speeding your board fast enough, the eneoming billo# will car " yel be9eEe t, and on that great sieping wall of water you keep slip ping down and down, but never quite reaching the bottom of the briny abyss. Then the wave breaks and you ara flung before it with the speed 0f . eanaoR6a4 toward the sandy
