AN IDEAL ISLAND
Romance of Centuries Hangs
About Porto Rico
Ore Hundred Years Before jamestown
Arose From Wilderness the Span
iards Were Living on This
Gem Of the Indies.

| San Juan, Porto Rico.-Quaint and
picturesque and heavy with the ro-
| nance of four centuries as a posses
sion of the superstitious and fiery
| Spaniard is Porto Rico, to which Ed
ward NJ. Banter, principal of the Cen
trail high school of this city, goes next
month as commissioner of education.
As the reader is aware. Porto Rico be-
came a colony Of the United States at
the end Of the Spanish-American war,
and wonderful development has TAX
en- place in the tropical island the IA
years since.
Porto Rico had been settled a CEN
fury by Europeans before James
town was founded or the Dutch sail
ed up the Hudson river. The second
century had begun before the Pill
grim fathers waded from the Mayflow-
er to the dry Massachusetts shores.
Closely associated with its early his
tory are the names of Juan Ponce de
Leon, Nicholas de Ouando, Diego, Co
lunbus, Drake, Hawkins, Lord Cum
berland, Salazar, Sotomayer and 9TH
ers whose struggles with the rebel
lious Indians, marauding Caribs, pi-
rates and buccaneers in their attacks
ON the primitive city of San Juan and
other more defenseless settlements
furnish story replete with adj
venture, warfare and romance.
Christopher Columbus touched at
Porto Rico on his second famous voy-
age to the new world Ponce de Leon,
he of the search for the waters of
everlasting youth, built the first
town upon it and called it San Juan.
San Juan became the capital of the
island in 1903, and today holds the
same position. It is typical Spanish
city.

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success of Tent Scheme Last sum
n1er So Pronounced that Ii
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success of the "baby''
tent" scheme adopted in some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed ON fat roofs OF
tall buildings and in open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots In each
tent. When all was ready mothers
of babies under two years were invited
to- leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, SO that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege OF sleeping out OF doors, could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton 1t greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
Of large blocks Of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.

The janitor heard it-they don't

was building tho fire, the youngster

that If chiefs are suspended for cause
they are entitled TO n hearing before
the civil service commission and his
authority for this holding is a law
enacted by the last general assembly
prohibiting the removal of a chief eX-
cept for sufficient cause.
He holds that this law supercedes
other laws which gave thc mayor
power TO remove. During the past
few years the courts have handed
down decisions in several cases, frus-
trating the attempts of new mayors
to remove chiefs Of police they found
in Office when they began their ad-
minlstrations to make room for APP
pointees of their own choosing.
Solicitor Warmers written opinion,
which he filed with Auditor Mason this
morning, contained the copy of the
attorney generals opinion. At the
bottom of the copy was attached his
own opinion which reads as follows:
city Auditor:
Enclosed find opinion of Attorney
General Hogan relative TO the chief
of police of the city of Marion.
Marion, o., Jan. II, 1912.
"In accordance with the above opin-
ion OF the attorney general, 1t would

moval and the present chief. failing

in case of the removal Of the chief Of

be made by the old chief to the civil

say the case cannot go TO the com
mission because Mayor Walters did
not prefer charges against Kllnefel-
ter.

made his decision is misinterpreted.
