Charge
FOR USING OF
CITY AMBULANCE

Use of the city ambulance for the
transportation of patients from their
homes to hospitals will cost So trip,
if plans of the police committee are
carried cut.
During April the ambulance made &c
trips which would have been charged
for under amendments to ordinance as
proposed. This would have Melted the
city $3.50 and as the emergency hos
pital is costing more than at first fig
ured, members of the police commit
tee believe that this revenue is need
ed. 1T is only proposed to charge for
the use of the city ambulance
for private purposes" said Robert Hor-
ner, chairman of the police commit
tee, this morning. There is no more
reason for the city to furnish an am
bulance for the, transportation Of pa
tients from their homes to the hospit-
ais, or vice versa, or from incoming
vessels TO the hospitals, than there is
for il to furnish taxi cab.'

Ball Playing at
Outrigger Beach
Held Dangerous
Henry w. Kinney Thinks 0rdi'
nance Would Put Stop
to Practise

This. says Henry ". Kinney. is a
case either for the police or the super.
yiSors! v
Phil B. Danky narrowly escaped as
sassination on the beach near the
Outrigger Club recently when water
| soaked baseball, whiZZing through the
air. missed his head by only a few
/ inches. .~ ...-.
Kinney is OF the opinion that the
! ball was not thrown Intentionally. The
/ missile doubtless was the result OF
! poor fielding or wild throwing On the
Part Of some bather, he says. But he
declares that the practise Of playing
baseball on the beach and H. the
water should be stopped, and for this
reason opines il is case either for
the police or city dads.
1T would have been sorry day
! for Danky had he been hit with that
| baseball" says Kinney. THE ball
barely missed him. Ii is getting so
that one cannot get bath at the
J Outrigger Club without endangering
himself to being hit by flying base
balls II all those who play ball were
professionals it would be different
but most of those who play don't even
know how TO catch ball. Balls fly
everywhere"
Kinney states he has been informed
by Alexander Hume Ford that the
only way to stop the ball playing
would be through an ordinance. But
we haven't such an ordinance here, ="
he adds. and Ford says We should
have one"
Personally" he declares. 81 am in
favor Of an ordinance or any other
means of stopping this ball playing.
. One cannot lie on the beach without
having ball players running all over
him, let alone the danger of being hit.
But II Danky and Ford cannot stop
it. don't think that anything ! could
say would amount to much"
Kinney says he has never been hit
by a baseball, but that he is taking
some awful chances every time he
goes in swimming.

lunch time had improved and could pass all the soldier boys without a tremor.
 After breakfast I got the porter to bring me a little table, such as they use on Pullman cars. And I kept the table all day to write on it and to put my books on it. It was natural and home like to have a lot of papers and books spread out around me.
 By the end of the day, I was so tired and excited and anxious to see Virginia that l could hardly sit still. I went and talked for awhile to a young woman who had two small children with her, whom she was taking away from New York. She was terrified about infantile paralysis At last, the porter came to brush me off. I tipped him and he took my suitcase to the door. A few minutes later the train rolled into a long shed, stoppal and l. almost the first one, got oft Virginia was right there, inside the gates with Larry, her young boy cousin. She was 50 glad to see me that she could hardly say a word but only squeezed my arm and wanted to do everything for me. Larry's sister, Evelyn, was waiting outside the gates for us, and we all went home in the automobile. Mrs. Nevil had good supper waiting for us, but Vir- ginia and could not eat much

Mexicans Were Courteous

In the August Woman's Home Con- panion Katharine Holland Brown gives the following interesting description of some Mexican soldiers in a story dealing with old Mexico as it is to- day:
 "This afternoon my beauteous guest met up with another phase of the Mexican situation. All our men-fo had driven into town to an interna- tional committee meeting. Unknown to me, Miss Eleanora saddled Israfil Jim Juniors donkey, and rode off down Tlalpam road to explore. Presently she came pelting back through the gates. her serious face flushed and eager, with band of 40 Zapatistas galloping at Israfil's heels These sol diers were extremely red, she ex- plained, dashing into the patio, where I sat, aghast. Could they not halt a few minutes, for a drink of our icy cold well water, and a dulce or so, per haps?
 ''Wen, I was simply scared blue. There wasn't man on the place, ex- cept the servants. And Jim has given most stringent orders that no soldier shall be allowed inside the gates on any pretext whatever. But I said yes, quaking. With half the countryside wells poisoned 1t seemed too inhuman to denyk them and their poor beasts. Anyhow, they were already shoulder ing inside.
 T needn't have been such a 'fraid- cat They rode up the drive, as majes- tic as so many barefoot hidalgos, and saluted me with dignity, then swarmed around the well and drank, and drank with frenzied thirst. Never have l seen men snatch at water like that. It was the devouring thirst of men who have fought. Very decorously, too, they partook of the lemonade and freshb baked bread which Annina and my fluttering maids brought out. Very courteously they bowed to me again, and set forth. I drew a long breath. It had been shaky quarter hour! But right then Emily Ann came tod ding down the steps, all pink and dewy from her nap.
 The whole troop stopped dead, and stared at her. The leader put out a big hairy arm and picked her up, and wondered over her fluffy white dress, and her fat little legs in pink stock ings, and her flaxen hair, which he touched cautiously, curl by curl At last he set her down. Little Madonna he said. very gravely and gently Then, at gallop, he and his ragamuffins Were up-saddle and away"

SnaiPs Tongue Cleans Aouarium

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Everyone who keeps an aquarium knows that it is advisable to place q few snails in the tank, not only be- cause snails are interesting in them selves, but because they are good cleaners. If the keeper of the aquarium knows that too much sunlight will produce too much plant growth and has placed the vessel in partly shad- ed place where the proportion of light and shade is about right, the snails, if they are numerous enough, can then control the growth.
 Nature has provided them with a peculiar anatomical structure resern- bling a narrow ribbon, which in de- tail is like the band of teeth on a carpenters rasp. Under the microscope these so-called 'lingual ribbons, or tongues, are seen to be thickly set with rows of sharp edged teeth which are themselevs toothed and which rasp off microscopic plants and carry them into the mouth.

 Dearest Estelle: It seems strange to be away from you after so long time of being with you day and night. keep wondering how you all are and whether you miss me- But, my dear, am so happy! ou won't think me mean and ungrateful, I know, to be enjoying this wonde erful freedom. I have been a trial to everyone at home, because l felt as if everything bothered me and I wanted to be let alone. Well, came to the right place for that. The south and its proverbial hospitality gratify ones highest hopes, and these dear peo- pie are delightful--more kind and good than I could have dreamed. You know only Virginia, but knowing her you will believe all the Nevils charming.
 I run ahead of myself in this letter, because I do want to tell you little of the trip down. I am such an un. sophisticated young woman. as far as travelling and visiting are concerned, that I especially enjoyed my first trip. But felt rather blue when said good by to you down in that tunnel in Phil adelphia, and saw you cry. too. l wish one could see through the car screens from the outside, for I remember you said, Mary, I can't see you at all. But if you can see me, it's all right" and your voice broke a little. It made me feel right down hearted.
 I soon decided, however, that l must not waste any of my little adventure, so I strengthened up and took out a magazine to read. I wasn't interested in it a bit Most short stories seem so tiresome nowadays, perhaps because we read so many of them. Moreover, my mind was really too full of all sorts of things for me to enjoy reading. So I tried to make the most of 30 good, undisturbed hours for thinking.
 But how strongly one thinks, taken from one's usual surroundings and moved forward, thus amid continually new scenery. Home, you and mother, my little black dog, friends, acquaint- ances came to my mind and dwelt there for a minute or two, and then passed on in remote, detached way. I seem to be an idle, lounging spectator of us all too weary and indifferent to sit upright in my seat You and mother and the little dog would have intruded actively on my conscienceness, if I had let you Tommy's so black and cute and soft. and his big. dark eyes speak so for him that with their image in my mlbu, ] WdHtSQ lo mug HlIn clOSe to me like a baby. I am afraid he will forget me and transfer his affections to the rest of you. That sounds very selfish. doesn't it. when you are good enough to take care of him? Mother and you won't forget me. You two will be there just as before. just as loving as if were with you. I can almost hear the things you will say about me and know you will follow my journey by the map and the clock And. by the way, honey, you will get ahed of me. for we were more than two hours late getting into Birming ham. and besides Birmingham time is one hour later than our time
 l meant all the way down to take very good account of the country and to be able to describe it quite accu- rately. But I could not seem to find out just where we were from one hour

Tinplate Industry in
 Wales RevOlutiOnized

Cardiff, Wales, August 10.-The tinplate industry is about to undergo a revolu- tionizing process owing to the introduce tion of a. new method of timing and preparing plates for timing, according to an announcement made by the Nell linggriffith Tinplate works in South Wales. The process now said to be in successful operation dispenses with the necessity of white pickling, and the white annealed plates, after being separated. are, without handling, taken up by ma chinery and picked, washed, turned. cleaned and piled. It is asserted that the new method increases the production of tinplates in the proportion of more than two to one as compared with the ordi- nary process.
