ship of public utilities is found
in the street railway line which
is owned and operated by this
city. Fifteen thousand five hum
dred passengers, in round num-
bers, ride on the municipal
street cars each and every day.
The line was put in operation
last January. Two months.
hence when the city's cars will
be running from the ferry to
the beach, an extension Of the
present line, it is conservatively
estimated that a fair days haul
will be approximately 80, 600
persons.
Fifteen thousand four hun
,dred nickels is $77O. This is
the average days receipts on
the municipal railroad thus far
in May. In January the daily
average was 1858. 40, in Februa-
ry it climed up to $685.. in March
it was $71O.4 40 and last month it
was $784.5O. In July, if the fer
ny and ocean extensions of the
Geary road are completed on
schedule time, it ought to be
81, 800.
There is a sermon of mu-
nicipal ownership gospel in
these figures. They preach a
mathematical message of sue
cess. and prove that the people
of San Francisco are determined
to patronize their own public
utilities, realizing that every
nickel invested for car fare on
the municipal railroad will
eventually yield dividends in the
shape Of reduced taxation and
larger public improvements.

nicipal railroad during the four

CHAIRMAN OF NATIONAL
COMMITTEE TO SUCCEED MR..
MCOMBS.

Washington. D. c., Nov. 1O.-(Spec-
ial)-William F. McComhs, chairman
OF the democratic national committee,
who was married in London yesterday
to Miss Dorothy Williams, Will ACCEPT
President Wilson's offer of the ambas-
sadorship to France. This declaration
was made last night by persons close
to the white house.
The post has been open to Mr.. Nc
Combs ever since the inauguration. H..
has twice declined it, but there is every
expectation that he will soon send the
president his acceptance.
In political circles it was generally
believed that Mr.. McCombs would be-
come ambassador to Franco and re-

cratic national committee. Talk of 4
successor is being heard, and the
name of Joseph P. TumuIty, secretary
to the president, has been suggested
by national committeeman in Washing
ton.
1t was pointed out by some of those
who are suggesting Mr.. Tumulty that
it would be essential In the choice of a
national chairman to have some one
who had the personal confidence of the
president.
Mr.. Tumulty himself declined to talk
about the subject, AS the democratic
national chairman is not called I'D N
usually for any extended work until the
time arrives for the presidential cam
paign, acceptance of the post by Mr.
Tumulty would not necessarily involve
resigning his present position.

Notes From Ladies' Auxiliary of
tine First Methodist Church

A letter of September from Miss
Moling, of San Luis, Mexico. says: ''In
spite of all the warnings we have had,
we still feel that we should go on
with the school. The people here are
insisting that we should not close. A
committee waited on me Sunday morn
ing and again in the afternoon to
shrow me hows unnecessary it is for
US to go away. The Mexican govern
ment offers protection even in case c.
intervention, and l am credulous to
believe in the promise" Brave wome
we have in Mexico.
The Louisville Wesley House has
been the recipient of a gift of $4,000,
which makes possible a much needed
enlargement by the purchase of our
adjourning building. The work has
been cramped for lack of room, ami
this gift is timely indeed.
The work of the past quarter seems
in every way the best in the history
of the Huchow city day schools
(China). The attendance has been
the largest on record. Only those who
knew old China can thoroughly ap-
preciate what it means to have quiet
study hours and intelligent answers.
Rev. John c. Hawk, Changchow,
China, writes: Accompanied by
Mrs. Hawk and our two children,
have made a visit to one of the out
stations on the work. There l saw my
first real country church. 1t was err
ected largely by the few members and
adherents in that community and It
did one good to see it, even though its
floors were of dirt and it's benches
backless. 1t was in keeping with the
homes and that Is more than we can
say to the credit Of some of the COM
munities in the States Mrs. Hawk

trast between those who had come IN
touch with the gospel and those who
had not If you could only see some

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines


If you want to contribute direct
ly to the occurrence of capillary
bronchitis and pneumonia use cough
medicines that contain iodine. NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have cough or cold.
An expectorant like Chamberlaln's
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs OF
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never re-
suits from a cold when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used. 1t
has a world wide reputation for its
cures. 1t contains no morphine or
