Health and Future of City De-
pend on Supply Says
ClubWoman

What San Francisco needs most"
Mrs. A. P. Black. president of the
California club, says. is an abundant
supply of good pure water.
There are several things that San
Francisco very much needs said Mrs.
Black. but the thing that, it occurs
to me. we are wanting the most is
good water and plenty Of it.
BY that ] mean the Hetch Hetchy
water or some equally good system.
IF the Spring Valley could be de-
veloped to meet our needs that would
be great Improvement on existing
conditions, but the Hetch Hetchy
would give what I really have
in mind. and that is pure noun
tain water 1t is impossible. I think,
to overestimate the Importance of
plenty of water. There should be a
sufficient supply for every need of a
large municipalities municipality
much larger than ours is now. be-
cause we must plan for future gener-
ations as well as our own.
HEALTH DEPENDS ON WATER
$50 much depends on having
enough water. The health of the peo-
pie which is surely one of the most
important considerations always. is
regulated to a great degree by the
amount and quality of water that is
supplied.
4 certainly feel that no one thing
can be more necessary or more well
come than the establishment of a
water system to provide US with all
that We actually should have.
The extension of our business in
terests is another serious need.
I'VE are away out here in the west.
so far from the rest of the country,
that we should be greater and more
independent. We have, thus far. de-
pended entirely too much on the east.
Our population is not commen-
surate with our age, our advantages
more capital in the west. and We
should have those things which will
offer opportunities for the laboring
people

classes through the business chances.
Let us have commercial openings de-
veloped and instill that atmosphere
which will induce capitalists to put
their money here in sucIf form that
they will profit and that the working
man will be drawn here because of
opportunity.
Another thing I think we need
here is the Identification of the out
lying residential districts and rapid
and adequate transportation for the
suburbs.
THAT should be done to keep peo-
pie on this side of the bay.
IT is not a good thing for San
Francisco to have its people living
elsewhere, and IL the districts on the
western side of the peninsula were
developed and made possible as the
goal Of home seekers / think 1t would
be one of the best steps toward fur
Their prosperity in San Francisco that
/ can think of.
Let the homes be on the peninsula
as we'll as the business interests.
"Of course. there are other things
we need. 1t is always certain that we
need to work together In a combined
effort to raise the moral standard.

BAGPlPEs, SWEET OR SOUR
Many People viii Aequiesce in the
Opinion Expressed by One New
York Policeman.

Strange to tell, coarse, critical
neighbors objected strenuously to the
music of a restaurant in 39th street
which had a bagpipe for it's central
figure. Words failed them when they
tried to describe the sounds to Mag
istrate Nolan. The best suggestion
of the awful truth was given by Po-
lice Sergeant Jopson, musical censor
of the department. 81 have been in
South Africa" said he, "and have
heard the music of a Kaff1r band.
This band has the Kaffir aggregation
lashed to the mast"
Some such lack of appreciation be-
fell the great Angus McClan, hero of
the Gilbert ballad. He piped for
years without melting the heart of
his beloved. Then, in the words Of
the ballad. he succeeded in piping
something distinctly resembling an
air." The results were instantaneous.
The lady flung herself on his breast,
and all Scotland cheered.

IDEAL DESIGN FOR THE BELT
May Be crocheted Either In Silk or
In Linen Thread, Using the
Afghan Stitch.

Crocheted either in silk or in linen
thread this makes very satisfactory
belt. For the linen thread use No. 30,
with steel hook size one.
Make chain stitch of 25 SITS, turn.
Miss first stitch, then take up ev-
cry following stitch and draw thread
through, keeping all on hook.
Take up thread and draw through
two SITS, then again, and draw through
two stitches, repeating until all are
worked off.
Take up the SITS again, putting the
hook under each of the little upright
loops, being sure not to miss the one
at the end.
Continue in this way, taking up and
working of, until the belt is of length
desired. Add any buckle that is liked.
The belt may be made as wide as
desired by making the foundation
chain longer or shorter. Line the belt
If wished. If made in the linen thread,
use cream, gray, black or white thread.
The stitch will be found very suitable
for belt worked either in linen or In
silk.

Lavender Bags.

When you buy lavender, be sure
that you are getting only the flowers
the tiny dried blossoms with no in
termixture Of stems and leaves-for
the fragrance will last twice as long
if you buy judiciously. The prettiest
bags are made about three inches wide
and four inches long, made of gauze
ribbon with the edges fringed instead
Of hemmed. If 1t is three-inch rib
bon you can simply fasten the edges
together with some fancy stitch, and
the bag will be finished quickly. But
a daintier way is to use inch-wide rib
bon, which usually has a finer and
more delicate design, and faggot the
three widths together with the finest
twisted embroidery silk. Then tie
the mouth of the bag with narrow sat
in ribbon the shade of the faggoting;
make light bow with FIVE or six fly
away loops and ends, and send your
bag in a little box so that the rib
bon will not be crushed on the way.

HOLDS THE VEIL IN PLACE
9ibbon Is Better Than Any Kind Of
Pin, and Certainly Looks
Much Prettier.

After the manufacturers have made
all kinds of wonderful novelties in the
way of pins to hold wells in place and
people have spent much money for
the pretty affrairs and found that their
wells are torn even more easily than
when a common hairpin is used to
keep the veil ends in place, some wise
person, says the New York Sun, has
discovered feasible arrangement.
Buy piece of grosgrain ribbon the
length of your veil of the same color
as the veil although black ribbon is
effective with any color veil. Sew it
carefully along the lower side of the
veil, being sure that the soft lace or
mesh does not full. Then from the
center Of the ribbon measure half the
size of your neck and sew tiny clasp.
From the other i-sif sew the opposite
side of the clasp. Now you have an
effect of black ribbon around your
neck, IL low collar Is worn.

GOETHE AND THE cHEsTNUTs
Poet, With Righteous Indignation, OBJ
jected to Practice That Is Com
mon in This Day.

Nothing is more annoying in au-
tumn than to have near ones windows
q chestnut tree, the natural target for
the missiles of youth. Goethe, whose
respect for the rights of property was
only equaledsby his love of law and
order, suffered considerably from this
annoyance. The Munich News has
just lighted upon complaint made
by the poet to the corporation Of Wei
mar during his stay in that city. He
writes:
AT the edge of the fields is row
Of Spanish chestnut trees, and as soon
as the chestnuts begin to ripen the
children lombard the trees with
stones without any concern for the
passers-by. Nor do they confine their
attentions to the trees in the road.
They throw cabbages and sticks at
our fruit trees, so that the owners
move about their own gardens in ter
ror of their lives and begin to despair
q ever garr sring their crop of fruit.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1913-11-28

Worse still, this outrageous conduct
goes on in the depths of winter. when
there is not single fruit on the
branches nor even birds nest to ex-
cite the young rascals cupidity. Po-
liceman Lenger, to whom l have
shown some of the. stones that fell on
my lawn, will bear me out"
Goethe never acted precipitately. In
this case he refrained from sending in
his complaint Immediately, and to add
weight to his representations kept the
letter back till new outrages had been
committed, when he sent it, with this
postscript added:
Il may add that this Is a matter of
general interest, and can prove it. AS
1 was leaving my garden yesterday by
the field gate to demonstrate with
some sacrilegious young ruffians sew

told me that it was impossible to pass

danger"

Well, they stayed for an hour, and
Mr.. Sam talked himself black In the

grew more cheerful.
Oh, we were very cheerful! / look

were. and shudder. We sat around

Dick arranged that Mr.. Pierce should
come out to him every evening for
orders about the place-if he accepted,
and everybody felt he woodland l

Three congeniaI Musicians.

Robert Schumann, the great COM
poser, the centenary of whose birth
was recently celebrated, tried to be-
come lawyer to please his mother,
and failed after two years of weari-
some study. At Heidelberg university
he made the acquaintance of Will
bald Alexis, who had already trodden
the path Schumann was destined to
follow-that through the law to mu-
sic. And the eminent jurist whose
classes he attended, A. F. J. Thibaut,
was an amateur musician of high at
,ainments and the author Of a work
On precisely that aspect of music to
which Schumann was peculiarly sensi-
tive, namely, purity in musical art.
