The modern home, then, is run by Electri-

BROKEN BOTTLES
COSTLY TO TIRES
Mayor Schriver Asks Auto
Owners to Be More Careful
in Throwing of Glass.

Mayor Harry II. Schrfver this morn
ing asked the press Of the city TO re-
quest the auto owners. especially the
joy-riders, TO exert more care in the
throwing OF bottles on the paved
street.
The mayor said: The sum OF mon.
ey this costs auto owners is frightful.
There isn't morning that you can't
go out on the streets and see glass
scattered along the paved streets.
For 10 or 100 feet on Fifth avenue
yesterday morning glass was strewn
along the highway, which is sure de-
struction to tires. The drivers take out
a party of friends and they have their
beer or pop in the machine. After they
drink they throw the bottle in the air
back of them. and there is a 'Hoop-a-
la when it crashes on the pavement
IF auto owners would caution their
friends not TO throw the bottles around
like that there would be e great saw
ing fauto tires. And the price OF
tires has gone up some 30 10 80 per
cent. too.
q am sure that IF the owners OF
machines would get together and start
a campaign against this they would
realize a great saving. for what they
are doing on one street, some one else
IS doing on another. and sooner or
later they are bound to run into broken
bottles themselves and damage their
own tires"

100 miles in one season is looked
upon, therefore, as a great achieve
mcnt
The highway question will be one
of the Invest issues in the general as
sembly next winter Much opposition
to the Tice law is being manifested
from certain quarters and it is practi-
cally certain that the act will have
a fight for it life. On the whole,
The system has met with approval,
however, and it is not believed that
it's enemies can repeal It. There is no
doubt, however that a bitter fight
will be made on appropriations pro-
posed for road work for the next two
years, and if the enemies of the act
are successful it may be possible only
10 use the automobile fund for this
--rkose. This would prevent the com
mission building any more roads dur
ing the next biennium than has been
built this season. 1t is the desire of
:he commission and good roads en-
thusiasts to get an appropriation
much larger than the one made by
the last assembly, which totaled ST.
100, 900 for the biennium.

NO MORE HIGHWAY
CONTRACTS NOW
Looks as Though Rock Island
County Will Have to
Wait Year.

Contracts for hard road building in
seven more counties will be let this
fall by the Illinois highway commits
sion at Springfield. This Will close
up the beginning of new work and the
commission will then devote its ener-
gies towards completing the work I'M
dertaken. Probably nothing Will be
done in Rock Island county this year.
BY July l, next, the commission viii
have expended the state appropriat
of $500, 900 for road work, the counties
having contributed a like amount.
Most of this work will have been COM
pleted by the time bad weather sets
in.
Before the weather is cold enough
to stop work on the highways 40 miles
of state aid pavement and so miles of
township road paving will have been
completed, making total OF 100 miles
of hard road constructed since the
season opened in the spring.
In the eight years since the state
highway commission was created only
$50 miles of hard road has been laid
up to last spring. The building of

ADJOURNMENT OF
COUNCIL is MADE
Closing of Session Marks Be-
ginning of New Year Hold
ing Big Possibilities.

The executive council of the Mod
EN- WOodmen of America adjourned
its August session at noon today to
meet again Tuesday, Sept. Is.
With the close of the meeting the
year 1884 is brought to an end and
the society is launched into the an
mum of 1914-15 with prospects far
brighter than the previous 12-month,
since the dissension among the mem
bers of the society in the most part is
absent.
The head officers of the Modern
Woodmen look for some big strides in
the point of membership during the
coming year, and it is anticipated by
them that with the reinstatement of
members according to the present rate
and the addition of new ones, that the
society will soon be nearing its old
footing.
During the session just closed the
society allowed 5GS claims, aggregating
$3.50, 900.

Not Allowed to Read the Bible.

But few people know that in the six
teenth century an Englishman was not
allowed TO read the bible. yet IL is
perfectly true. Henry VIII. issued a
decree prohibiting the common people
from reading the bible. Officers OF
state were exempt from this law.
Probably the king thought these Off
cials would be none the worse for pc
rusing the sacred work, and noble la
dies or genilewomen might read the
prescribed volume if they did so in
their gardens or orchards. but no one
was allowed even 10 read IL to the
lower classes.-Westmin Gazette.

yesterday by Detective Sehnert and

SUBJECT OF WARM DEBATE
Question Of Union Labor In Erection
Of Elevated Tanks Referred to
Grievance Committee.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Tri-City Federation OF Labor
was held last evening ut the Indus
trial hall. A heated discussion arose
as TO the publicity of routine matters
of the federation In newspapers. II
appears that through some unknown
source certain newspapers have secur-
ed the minutes OF the meetings and
published them a week in advance or
the Tri-City Labor Review, the official.
organ o. the federation. The mem
bers objected to having the daily pa
pers scoop" their own sheet with the
news of the official proceedings of
the meetings Hereafter. # is stated.
the reporters will be able only to get
such matters as are of interest to the
general public or such matters as the
federation wishes publicity on, in ad-
vance of the Labor Review, which
publishes nearly a week after the
meetings are held
The Boilermakers' union has refer
red its troubles in regard to the en-
ployment of union labor on the ele-
waited tank. now being erected b. the
Rock Island Bridge & Iron works for
the city. to the grievance committee
and action will be taken as soon as
this committee reports. AS a matter
of principle the federation will assist
the Boilermakers' union in this fight.
The executive committee has ap-
proved of the federation fight upon
the Linograph company of Davenport
and Moline Furniture works and or
dered notices printed of the attitude
of these two companies as being I'M
fair to organized labor. The notices
will be mailed broadcast to every cen
trail body and labor organization in
the country.
Store Is a Success.
II was also reported during the ses-
sion that the cooperative store COM
pany has been a pronounced success
and that the management in charge
is more than pleased with the sales
up to date. The business in Moline
and Davenport has increased to such
an extent that II was found necessary
to purchase an auto delivery car.
Delegates from the Industrial Home
association of Davenport were pres
ent at the session, but made no re-
port on plans for the coming Labor
day celebration. AS far as could be
learned no details of the program had
been arranged as yet, nor speakers
secured.
