SUGAR EATERS

Eight billion pounds of sugar were
eaten in the United States last year,
more than ever known in the history
Of the country This enormous
amount is equivalent to nearly S9
pounds per annum for every man,
woman and child in the United States
and actually averages four ounces OF
sugar day for every day in the year.
Americans for many years have
been known as the greatest candy
eaters in the world, and are so. Not
only are vast amounts of sugar eaten
as candy, but any article OF food
which an American can scatter a
spoonful of sugar upon generally gets
| it. though elsewhere it may be eaten
plain or with some other condiment.
More and more also sugar is COM
ing into use as food, fact which
its annually increasing consumption
| is showing.
The old idea that sugar was un-
wholesome, that it upset the stomach
and caused the teeth to decay has
practically disappeared before the
later knowledge that it is one Of the
most wholesome of foods, good for
man and beast, as the recommends
tion in recent years of the use of
Inolasses as horse and hog feed has
proved
As time goes by the amount of
sugar consumed is likely to grow
larger rather than less, and in the
more scientific dietary which is sure
to develop it will play more essen
tial part in the daily life of the peo-
pie of this country.

WOMEN PROTECTIVE Of
FICERS

Women protective officers is dig
nihed and appropriate appellation for
the new officials, whose chief duties
will be to insure exactly what their
title indicates the protection OF
women.
The chief duties of the police
women, as they may be called for
short, are to answer inquiries, give
directions and information at the
ferries, trains and steamboat ter
minals, stations and landings and at
all public parks. also to escort and
attend female prisoners. attend the
juvenile court and such other duties
as the chief OF police or the police
commission may assign to them.
All OF those duties and more are
waiting for women with official po-
lice authority to perform for women
who may need the aid of such
officials
There is ample room for not only
sthree. but three times three and then
some more policewomen in this city.
hChicago, Seattle. Los Angeles, all of
the cities which have adopted the
wise and wholesome provision of such
officers, all have more than San Fran
acisco starts with.
Any beginning is better than none,
and it is high time the beginning is
TO be made.
Wemen's eyes, are Sharper than
mems, especially to detect when an
other woman. and particularly
young and innocent one, is in a posi-
Ation in which she might need the
supporting arm of the law and yet
would be afraid to approach police
man, who, in turn, by reason of his
Aznasculine stupidity in such matters,
might be unable, as they have been in
the past. to act promptly and intelli-
gently. as the women protective Of
6cers will be sure to do.
The light minded, the frivolous, the
unintelligent and the hostile may
laugh or sneer at the woman pro-
tective officer and may nickname her
"copette." but she will prove her
value to the city and will earn her
salary just as soon as she and her
sister officers go TO work.

ent moment has entered suit under
the Sherman antitrust act to show;
that the billboard men in the big
cities are in regular trust, contrary
to the Sherman act.
If the people who are opposed to
the 20 foot billboard stretched over
about six miles of San Francisco's
streets do not put in an appearance at
the city beautiful convention this
evening, and give their practical
reasons why they think the law
should be enforced, the King of the
Billboard Trust will obviously get
away with the board of supervisors,
as he evidently has got them going
now, with his packed and framed
lobby.

USE THE LIBRARY

The annual report of the trustees
of the San Francisco public library
lis most satisfactory, comparatively
speaking, for the volume of work and
activities has been larger than during
any year since the library was
founded.
The library now has 130,181 vol
umes, 4l,016 users, and circulation
of books for home use amounting to
$50, 5o2. There are branches and IS
deposit stations.
This report indicates a healthy
activity so far as the work Of the
library is concerned, but neither the
total number of books nor the books
circulated are what they should be in
a city of this size.
So far as the books in the public
library are concerned, it should be the
special effort of every person inter
ested in the intellectual development
of the city to help build up the library
itself to make it even more worthy
of the city's population.
So far as the use of the books by
the public is concerned the report
does not indicate even so great a use
OF the library as even the somewhat
limited number of books would in
themselves justify
Assuming that all of the members
participated in the home circulation,
the figures given would show that
only 20 books to the member were
used in year.
The public library is one phase of
the civic activities which is neither
developed nor utilized as fully as it
should be, and this is said without
any intent of adverse criticism, for
the work of the library is admirable
and excellent so far as it goes.
The reason why the public library
plays no larger part in the life Of the
community than it does is the appar-
ent indifference of the community
itself to the work which the library
could do An active stimulus of pub
lie attention to the possibilities of
the utility of the library would greatly
enhance its value.

/ FERRY T ALES
BY LINDSAY CAMPBELL


The Ancient Mariner explained to his
fellow travellers on the steamer
Newark the other day why the Sar
Francisco side of the bay was adopted
by the early mariners as the logical
place for tying up their ships, and
why. whatever the developments across
the bay-and he believes that there
will be great developments-San Fran
cisco always will take care of the bulk
of the harbor's shipping. Nature at
tended to that, he says.
The Ancient Mariner is citizen OF
the world and has no local bias to
handicap his Judgment. He lives in
Oakland now and Is proud of fits
growth, not SO much as local achieve
ment. but as an evidence OF the fncreas-
ing Importance to the nation of the
Pacific slope.
g @ 9
Oakland is going to have a fine
water 'front.'" he said, "and it will al
be needed, but San Francisco does not
need to worry about the shipping II
will lose. Both sides Of the bay Will
have all the ships they can take care OF
before many years have passed. The
first wharves were built on the San
Francisco side of the bay for the sole
reason that the hills on which the city
Is now built made q lee that afforded
shelter from the prevailing winds.
Wherever they have the choice sea-
men prefer to make a landing on a
weather shore. 1t Is easier to dock a
ship against wind and tide than with
wind, tide and ship all going in the
same direction. The prevailing wind
on the San Francisco. side is off shore.
This simplifies both docking and moor
ing. In the days of sailing ships these
were vital considerations, and with the
great liners of today they are almost
SIS important.
g G @
Oakland Is a lee shore for the
greater part OF the year and lee
shore means trouble in handling ships.
They can be handled all right and will
be. Well need the space. but there
won't be any wholesale desertion OF
San Francisco as long as the tides and
winds favor that side of the bay.
The Oakland water front is going to
be expensive to maintain owing to the
Necessity for constant dredging. Up
the bay, toward Hunters point, are
wide stretches of mud. which, If
dredging were stopped, would soon fill
up the approaches to Oakland harbor.
The Sacramento river waters, with
their load of silt. hug the Alameda
short. depositing the silt there and
making more work for the dredgers. 1t
is true that they have to dredge on the
San Francisco side. in the slips. but
we won't know what dredging means
until Oakland harbor is finished and
taking care Of its share OF the shipping.
Oakland will have its wharves and
it's docks and it's warehouses and they'll
all be kept busy. but San Francisco
will always be San Francisco
So let us all cheer up.

Concrete Building to House
Cars Will Be Erected in
Valley for Autos

The Yosemite valley will have q
large concrete garage for the care oIs
machines while the motor tourists
visit the points about the wonderianu.
That is the story being told by auto
lists who are recent arrivals from the
national park.
1t is proposed they say, that all mo-
tor parties entering the valley will be
compelled to place their cars immedi-
ately in the garage under the care OF
the federal government.
This will conform with the rule that
Ino automobiles will be allowed over
the roads on the floor of the valley

Each machine when it passes within
I the limits of federal jurisdiction will
be tagged by the soldiers and the name
of the driver and other occupants of

ment register.
Strict supervision Of the cars will be
kept and only a small fee will be
charged Once the machine is placed
| in the garage the driver will only be
ALLOWED to take 1t out when he is ready
| to motor from the park.
1t was thought at first that the gov
ernment would park the machines but
| fear Of fires has prompted the erection
Of a concrete garage.
1t is said that when the government
opens all the roads into the valley the
old horse drawn stages will pass out
lof existence and in their place will be
run large "rubberneck' motor vehicles.
This will eliminate the possibility OF
the horses becoming frightened by the
numerous machines and the dashing of
