Coroner Hoffman further predicted
that unless action was taken to regu.
late the powerful electric searchlights
used on the front Of automobiles they
would sooner or later be the cause Of
many accidents and much loss Of life.
"There should be . law requiring
drivers to turn OF their electric
searchlishts when passing other
cars" he said. "From personal ex.
perience know that these lights are
binding. One feature Of the situa.
ton that impresses me 10 the killing

bile drivers for the slaughter. The
police should arrest every boy or girl

automobiles or roller skating in the
streets. I wish also that some law
could be devised which would prevent
any one crossing streets except at In.
tersections."

It 10 proposed to tax every lot In
Chicago from 5000 to $500 for water
meters. besides the great expense It
will entail upon all users Of water.
Chicago has an immense water
fund. II part Of It was devoted to
wards building pumping stations at
the lake end Of every section line In
Chicago there would be no water fam.
Inc anywhere.
II 10 astonishing what men the
water meter people can influence TO
their way Of thinking.
Some men who ought to know bet
ter are talking for water meters.
More than that the thigh pressure"
scheme ID up again.
According to some advocates It will
only cost thirty or forty millions Of
dollars to install meters and high
pressure" system. The poor will have
to pay the cost.
With half this sum additional pump
Ing stations could be built which
would more than supply the demand
A well known engineer who was ad
vocating high pressure" and water
meters said the other day, according
to daily papers, that one Of the chief
troubles In Chicago was the very high
consumption of water. which averaged
about 2.00G gallons per capita daily
caused largely by waste and under
ground leakage from broken connec
tons. As a remedy for waste hi
recommended water meters. The tes
of the water pressure made In thu
loop shows an insufficient pressure
but he said that the city was install
ing a large number Of water mains
none under eight inches, and thes'
would materially improve the pres
sure.
The health OF the city demands
plenty Of water for everybody.

Returns Good for Evil.

It was a rainy day in March. A shipment of
several sacks Of sugar had been dumped
on the depot platform. The station agent,
thinking the sugar was for Veteran. tele-
phoned him to take II away before the rain
began again. Veteran thought he had not
ordered sugar. but to make sure FASTENED TO
the station and found the sugar was for
Young.
Veteran lost no tina in telephoning Young
Then he went out and hauled the sugar under
cover just IN time to avoid heavy shower
The station agent must have told the local
repor er what had happened. for the incident
was played up as headliner in the county
seat paper.
After that Young did not have the nerve to
buck Veteran, but entered upon a Sensible
campaign Of cooperative selling that gave
him less business temporarily but greater
profits Both now are making big money.
veteran is getting more trade than he ever
thought could possibly come out Of the
spsrsely settled territory. Two years ago a
I'VE mile radius just about covered his trade
zone. Today he is taking considerable bust
ness away from the county seat
All Of which emphasizes the fact that the
trade pulling power Of two cooperating mer-
chants in Q growing community more than
doubles the power Of one.

of the shipping office. 1t was the lunch
hour and the floor was deserted

good man to look after the stockroom up

hustIer-somebody that's pretty strong. too.
Got anybody to fit the job?
Samuels thought minute

him with red hot pokers to make him creep.
He's the only near prospect"
We'll. sorry" responded the boss as he
moved OF. "a If y'hear OF nybody next cou-
pie days let me know"
Il WILL" and Samuels went about his work.
As the two men parted. back IN the shadows
OF the seemingly vacant shipping ofice a
large figure rose from a bench.
Hum he mumbled angriiy. bright
enough and strong enough. need six devils
chasing him around-by goodness but the
man was right! There goes my shot at q
decent job just because-well, I'll show 'em
I'm there with the goods yet!'
And the big fellow finished his job Of get
ting up and stood soberly taking stock Of
himself. johnson was thoroughly sngered
at himself. HeNooked himself over. Six
feet tall, big OF muscle. healthy, a physical
giant, and not without some mental ability,
he had permitted himself TO get into SLOW
emily run. had made Unnecessary for his supe-
riors to keep after him SO that he would per-
form theminimum amount of work necessary
to hold his job A fine chance he had, he
speculsted, Of ever making a salary large
enough to take care of himself and that little
blonde girl who lived down m the next block
from where he lived. He was queered in this
job-but was he? Samuels had said he was
q" bright enough and strong enough" He'd
show en- he was lively enough. too.
That afternoon Samuels was astonished
at the unwonted, activity displayed by his
huge helper. He was here, there. every
where, doing two or three mems work. Sam
uels II must be confessed. neglected his own
Iabors simply to watch Johnson
Whats struck the fellow" he asked
himself over and over again. why, he's
working better than the fastest man ever
had"
And Johnson's remarkable activity knew
no abatement IN the days ensuing. He set
a pace the others couldn't equal. He wasn't
idle moment. He also devised two or three
ways OF simplifying the movement Of goods
that even Samuels hadn't thought Of before.
Samuels refrained from mentioning the
change for fear of breaking the charm. But
his opinion of johnson made some wonder
full strides forward in the week that passed.
The big boss passed through the shipping
floor again.

The floor manager thought a moment.
Then he went TO the suit rack and began
looking Though the offerings there. Suit
after suit he took out and examined. At last
he jerked three suits out and threw them
over his arm
Was II one of these that you showed

The salesman pointed to the second suit
That was the one." he said See any
