Quoting the important business the

A commission OF nine men elected
by the entire city could do the work

of SO men representing wards. The
nine men should be paid AT least ST.

SAVANNAH GA, Sept. pa writ
of injunction has been issued against
the mayor and aldermen to stop the
further use of city employees who for
two weeks have been making drainage

The proceeding is designed to per-
manently establish the -illegality Of

WAR On UNCLEAN
BAKERIES BEGUN
PeaChtree Shop Ordered Closed
and Proprietor Fined Court
to Back inspectors.

CITY health officials today are waging
vigorous war on dirty bakeries in the
city, declaring there must be a general
cIean-up all along the line. All baker
les will undergo thorough inspection.
and those found filthy and dirty will be
ordered closed until they can be
cleaned.
The first police case in the. present
crusade was made by Health Inspectors
Wasser and Hilley against J. Hanne-
mann. proprietor of a bakery at lis
paachtree street. Recorder Pro Tenn
Preston imposed a fine of $25.75 on
Hannemann. At the same time he is
sued warning to all bakers that they
must comply strictly with all health
equations Of the city.
This matter of health and cleanli-;
ness is of the utmost Importance" said
Judge Preston, and bakeries, as we'll
as dairies markets, restaurants and
other such places must be kept clean
and sanitary This court intends to
back the health officials to the limit of
its power, and violators of health laws
will be dealt with severely"
Inspector WasseI said he had ordered
Haunemann to close his place until all
semblance of dirt and filth was re-
moved Both Inspectors Wasser and
Hiey said the bakery was in very
bad condition. Wasser said he had
warned the baker several times before
Hannemann admitted the dirty con-
dtion of the bakery, but explained that
he had been absent from the city. and
that his employees had been negligent.
H said he would have it cleaned at
once and placed in good condition.
On his visit here this week DR.. Dow
ling, the famous health expert of Louis
lana, laid special stress on the impOr-
lance Of clean bakeries, and urged that
close attention should be given these
places and that the owners be forced %

Sixty.seven years ago the Van Am
berg one-ring circus drifted into a
little town in the hills OF Pennsyl-
vania and entertained the country
folk with horseback riding, a few ac-
robatic stunts. tight wire walking and
the antics of Il trained bear. When
the circus left that night Il lO-year-old
boy of h village G with it.
That boy grew up with the circus
n for 81 years he travelled over all
the country. For So years he was a
clown. He died the other day in Win

millions laugh.
Tony Parker was the boys name
when he ran away with tho circus but
to hide his identity he changed 1t to
Tony Alger, and that name is known
to every circus man in America.
Tony was drilled numerically by
the lone bareback rider OF the circus.
n he soon became an adept and was
made general utility man. being an
acrobat, rider and general performer.
Soon he became n clown.
with a face wrinkled and strangely
pale from the makeup he used thou

most sorrOwful in appearance and he

about his circus experiences.
Il remember how the first dirt
ring came n use." he said. 1T was
back i'm SO in Tennessee. Circular
boards or curhs had always been used
for rings and they were carried along
as part of the equipment. One day
a wagon with a section of the ring
board got stuck in the mud and could
not be pulled out. old john the
boss of John Robinson's circus then,
got "a farmer to pillow up tho ground
for Il ring. Well. We didn't know what
he intended to do with the dirt. He
got tho layout pins and stuck them
around the pole. and then he plowcd
up the ground. threw the dirt about
three feet high. drove stakes around
the bank and put a rope around the
stakes. We Sat on the seats to see
what he would dc. He put in the

EDISON LIKES DIME NOVELS.

El'lsoN Lines DIME NOVELS.
Thomas y. Edison likes dime now
els. incidentally he has offered sew
erai amendments to Andrew C,arnc-
gees list of tWenty-one great men.
The talk was on the qualifications
ot writer's for greatness when the cru-
cial question was put. Have you
ever read n dime novels?" it ran.
Hosts of them" WAS the inventors
quick reply. II like EN-"
Mr.. Edison confessed that he had
mt ready any for several years, but
that was because he was too busy to
read. His reason for liking them, he
said. was that he didn't have to think
in reading them.
II do enough of that at other
things he explained.
1t was the mention of Mr.. Carne-
gle list of world mover that started
the conversation Mr.. Edison romp
ly announced that he did not wholly
agree with it.
1T contains a great many steel
men," he said in explanation. Every
man in every line of business is mar
row: suppose if President Taft
made a list it would he considerably
different from MIR. C~'arnegie's."
Would you include Mr.. Carnegie
in your list?" his interrogation wanted
to know.
Mr.. Edison hcsitated. THAT is IL
little personal" he replied. "Howev-
er. Carnegie has done a great deal.
He is the exponent of rapid America.
IL a man can take a 500-ton machine
and get 1900 ton out of it. it stands
TO reason that he's a great technician.
Carnegie brought the steel business
up to a high degree. perhaps not of
quality, but Of output"
Asked for a few Of the men he
would have chosen. Mr.. Edison i'm

reminded that he had been on Mr..
C~arnegie's list, he advanced Watt and
Stephenson. Recalling hat these,
too. had been named by Mr.. Carnegie,
he suggested Pasteur. a far-reach-
ing man." AS he described him.
Il don't think I would put any
poets on the inventor continued. in
But l would retain Shakespeare for
his power of expression. his capacity
for original sentences. He was no a
world mover but he was a wonderful
inventor of statement.
II would choose Herbert Spencer
for the poetical temperament, for the
meat in his books. He is a great

from that intended. His works bristle
with such statements, and they are

Here was Mr.. Edtson's criterion. Of
genius. 1t was not enough that a
man should be able to reach a truth
by induction: he had to be able to
deduce 1t from accumulated facts at
his command. to come up to tho in
