BOAT
SERVICE IS
TANNED

Be Started in so Days

An aerial boat service at 10 cents
per passenger will be established in
SO days between this city and Oak
land.
No longer will the commuters COM
plain of the length of their travel
between the two cities. Instead of IS
minutes between the San Francisco

ule. these new whirlwind crafts will
navigate the distance in five minutes
A corporation has been formed In

have been arranged for at the foot of
Mission street, this city. and First
street and Broadway, Oakland
The boats are Curtiss machines, and
each will carry four passengers and
200 pounds of freight. The crafts will
make so miles an hour in the water
and rs miles an hour i nthe air.
While only two boats will be started
at first, there will be 20 machines in
all when the service is finally estab-
lished. Not only will the boats be
used between here and Oakland, but
a nexcursion and baggage service will
be established also.
The company which intends to bring
about this remarkable change in the
ferry service on San Francisco bay
is known as the San Francisco-Oak-
land Aerial Ferry company.
The boats, which are at present in
New York, will arrive here shortly,
according to the officers of the COM

FOR SORE TOED BOY

soap box on wheels, with long
handle in front, pulled by two chill
dren, was pressed into service as an
ambulance in Camden, N. j., and as
far as the patient was concerned
served its purpose just as well as a
cushioned and rubber tired vehicle.
The little wagon was drawn by a
boy, 10 years old, and his sister. 8
years old At the Cooper hospital
they called an attendant, and their
patient was lifted out and carried into
the receiving ward.
An examination disclosed the fact
that the patient, Andrew Medaroni, Is
years old, had a sore toe and couldn't
walk. The little girl and the boy,
who had pulled him to the hospital.
declared he was their brother, and
they knew of no other way to obtain
relief for his pain.
After young Medaronfs toe had
been fixed, the little party returned
home with him In the soap box, a
distance of more than mile.

Los ANGELES. Nov. S.-The tangled

today when Superior Judge McCor-

The corporation has been under
secret investigation by the govern
ment for several weeks.
The Ramsey Cohn complaint asserts
the directors fraudulentIy caused the
corporation to issue to them 1888
shares of stock, and that they were
carried on the books for s1.20o.o0o.
Elder, according to the complaint
owes the company sS47.733.51. 1t is
declared a 2S per cent dividend was
paid in 1911 and 1912. when there
was no legal fund from which divi-
dends could be paid.
The government is examining lit

which told of a guaranty fund" to
protect stock holders.

where they will make their home with
relatives.
The Pearkes holdup was one of the
most daring crimes ever committed in
San Mateo county. The society girl
was returning from an early Sunday
mass and had reached the entrance
to the De Saba place when Moran
sprang from the foliage at the side
of the road and grabbed her by the
throat
Unable to cream for aid Miss
Pearkes gave up her prayerbook, ro-
sary and purse, containing 25 cents,
and then, thoroughly frightened by
the threats of her assailant, she con-
sented to go into the house for more
money.
She entered the De Saba mansion,
passed several servants without
sounding the alarm and, going to her
room, threw a dollar bill out OF her
window to the highwayman.
Moran, a cement worker, was ar
rested several days later, with the
prayer book and rosary in his possess
sion. When informed of her hus-
bands deed, Mrs. Moran declared her
intention to assist in the prosecution,
but relented and finally refused to ap-
pear against him.

The Real Secret of
Reiuvenating the Face
{From the clubwoman.l

She holds the true secret of facial
rejuvenation who has learned how to
remove the dead skin particles as fast
us they appear. It's a secret anyone
may possess. The aged. faded or dis
colored surface skin may be gradual
iy absorbed, in an entirely safe and
rational manner. by the nightly appii-
cation of ordinary mercolized wax.
Within a week or two the UNDERLYING
skin, youthful and beautiful to be-
hold, has taken the place of the dis
carded cuticle So little of the old
skin is absorbed each day there's no
Inconvenience at all, and no one sus-
poets you are putting anything on
your face. The mercoliZed wax, pro-
durable at any drug store, ian ounce
is sufficiently, is applied like cold
cream. In the morning it is erased
with soap and water. 1t is tie best
thing known for freckels, bIaekheads,
pimples moth patches, liver spots and
fine surface wrinkles.
For the deeper wrinkles an excellent
recipe is: Powdered saxolite, / ounce,
dissolved in u pint witch hazel Bath

HOW DID YOU DIE?

Did you tackle that trouble that
came your way
With a resolute heart and cheer
full?
Or hide your face from the light
of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
o, troubles a ton, or troubles
an ounce,
Or troubles what you make it.
And it isn't the fact that you're
hurt that counts,
But only, how did you take it?
You're beaten to earth? Well,
well, what's that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall
down fiat,
But to lie there, that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
1t isn't the fact that you're licked
Be proud of your blackened eye!
that counts.
It's how did you fight?-and
why?
And though you be done to death,
what then?
If you battled the best you
could;
II you played your part in the
world of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with crawl, or
comes with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you're dead
that counts,
But only, how did you die?
