of Estimates, meeting as Il does but
once year to pass on the budget, can.
not do II work as intelllgently as Il
might because the members are not
Intimately acquainted with the needs
OF the various departments. The best
plan would be to cut down the size of
the board, giving each ward one rep
resentative and elect say, five, in the
city at large. This board ought to
meet at least twice a month and pass
on all transfers Of money from one
fund to another This would cut down
a lot OF fund juggling now being done
and would save money for the city. /
think the estimators should draw a
small yearly salary"
The Board of Estimates was shorn
OF considerable responsibility last fall
when the voters gave. the council the
right to fix the compensation to be
paid city officials and subordinates.
The wording Of the amendment does
not allow the estimators to tamper
with the salary lists In the annual
budget. The estimators, when they
meet to organize for their spring work,
will appoint a special committee ia
try to find out who slipped the Joker
into the charter amendment. The aid.
ermen and the corporation counsel say
that at the time the amendment was
prepared. no thought was given to the
Board of Estimates. Some of the old
er members on the board think differ
emily.
Another plan for handling the esti-
mates Is being talked about by certain
city ofhcials. This IS to abolish the
present Board Of Estimates and organ
lie In Its place five-man board com
posed Of the mayor, the city control.
Ter, the corporation counsel, the city
clerk and the city treasurer. The
mayor would then be directly respon.
sible for the tax rate. The corpora
ton counsel could pass on the legal
ity of items before they are included
In the budget and the city controller
would know the exact status of the
city finances and the condition of the
various funds. The city treasurer and
city clerk, both elective officers, could
assist the mayor and the others In
passing intelligently on various items.
This latter plan may also be discussed
lot on another proposition to give the

wife OF Colorado's chief executive who

The River Through Paris.

Small two decked steamers ply on
the Seine as it twists its way through
Paris. You can catch one every fifteen
minutes, and it costs 2 sous e cents
to go from one end of the city to the
other, a distance of perhaps eight
miles, and then once outside the city
walls you pay 2 sous more. The
Seine river is narrow, dull green and
slow moving; not majestic at all, but
made picturesque by the life that is
upon it. In Paris it is commerce and
artistic beauty combined tNlt border
it's banks. Within the boats that are
moored to its palings are SO many diff
ferent kinds of existence-baths, hos
pitfalls. washhouses, homes, restau-
rants and lodgings. People tive half
above, half under the water, and in
some places on the Seine for long dis
tances these boats are moored four
abreast and following in line like sol
diers on march. These are the --LATEST
of boats. When they come up the riv-
er freighted their tops are just at the
waters edge The Seine seldom rises
or falls very much, as it is held III its
banks by concrete walls.-Cleveland

Military Retreats.

Once at an evening reception in Ber-

Moltke to a magazine writer who had

Plutarch, to all the worlds greatest
commanders-Alexa Caesar, Han

himself we'll knew. The hero of hun

s;mnIe Air Pressure Test.

Any one can demonstrate the pres
sure of the atmosphere by the simple
experiment which follows: On the fat
of an iron lay a thin sheet of rubber
part of an old tobacco pouch will do.
Place a small, thin lid containing
some wadding soaked in spirits of
wine on the rubber and ignite the spir-
it's. Then press a wineglass down
tightly over the flame. When the
fame dies out it will be found that the
two articles are firmly united and may
be suspended by a wire, and some
time will elapse before they separate.
The explanation is that the flame CON
sumes the oxygen in the glass and
lowers the pressure when the greater
pressure Of the atmosphere squeezes
the articles together.-Exchange.

would have burned to the ground
but for the plucky work of Mrs.
Hagestad, a neighbor, who exiting

The Cardind Bee.

The carding bee lives in holes among
stones and roots, making nests of
moss lined with wax to keep the wet
out, with a long gallery to approach it.
The bees find bit of moss, and sew
eral of them get in row, with their
backs toward the nest. The foremost
bee then lays hold of the moss, pulls
1t up with her jaws and drives it with
her forefeet under her body and as
far toward the next as possible, when
the next bee does the same thing. By
this means many tiny heaps of pre-
pared moss are got to the nest, where
other bees weave it into the structure.

hungers of the traction. companies,
now miserably failing in every respect
to keep promises made when they got
their franchises.
All prospects are now that the city
council and Mayor Harrison will put
through the motor bus plan, using
100000 from the city's traction
fund to do it. The traction companies
either directly or through dummies
are sure to go to law against the
plan. They will start suits in the low
er courts and run it on into the higher
courts.
The only danger right off is that
the companies may get an injunction
stopping the city from using part Of
the traction fund for the motor bus
plan.
Victor Lawson's Daily News has
broken loose with news stories aimed
at giving the idea that the motor bus
plan is a raid" on the traction fund.
Chairman Block Of the local trans
portation committee, said to a Day
Book reporter:
1.-THE So per cent of street railway
profits which constitutes the So
called traction fund has only one pur-
pose. That purpose is the better
ment of transportation for the peO-
pie of Chicago. If that transportation
betterment can be achieved by sub
ways, it is admitted even by the trac-
ton companies the fund can be used.
Motor bus lines are transportation
lines. If dollar for dollar they carry
more passengers and relieve strap
hangers as effectively as sUbways,
then motor bus lines are as proper
a scheme for financing as any that
can be financed from the city's SIS
per cent traction fund"

MOTOR BUS DEAL MEANS BIG
FIGHT FOR CAR COMPANIES
Chicago may no get the 100000
for motor buses after all. Aid. Henry
Captain succeeded in at least delay
ing service to the people by having
the question thrown into the hands
of the transportation committee.
Aid. Block and Aid. Merriam fought
Captain, but the latter argued much
bunk about it not being exactly right,
and that an ordinance should be
passed, etc.
The greatest Immediately practical
municipal ownership plan ever before
the people of Chicago, except in 1907,
is now lined up for action.
The street car companies of Chi
cagO have ahead of them now the
fiercest fight since the 1907 ordinance
went through.
e. The 100000 set aside in the 1915
council budget will do these things
if it gets by the courts:
I. Put hundreds of modern motor
buses on the streets Of Chicago, each
bus seating 80 people and the bus
lines carrying tens Of thousands Of
passengers whose nickels are now go
ing to the surface and elevated lines.
2. The city can keep on putting
more and more bus lines into opera
ton until every straphanger in the
city is able to ride home in decent
and orderly style like decent and
orderly human being.
8. Unless the traction companies
can break up the motor bus scheme
now planned the companies will be
hit so hard by the competition of city
bus lines that they will be forced to !
give better service.
