A Railway Suggestion

Fellers talkin' politics.
Travelin' on the train
Get their reasons all mix
And start 'em up again.
The agitation left and right
Shakes up the atmosphere
Until we're most afraid it might
Disturb the engineer.
We wave our arms an shake our fists
An test our lungs for fair,
And every one of us insists
On hoHerin'. his share.
Such energy, it seems to me,
By some inventors scheme,
Could rnn the locomotive free
An save the cost Of steam!

Traffic DELAYS.

An incident which occurred in this
city this morning, as noted in an item
in the news columns today. suggests
that an Improvement in traffic condi-
tions is possible by the adoption of rules
governing the taking of names of wit
nesSes in ease of street ear mishap.
In this instance long delay occurred
after a tritling collision between the car
and motor cycle. while the conductor
and motorman were taking names. Many
passengers were inconvenienced and de
layed and some. in order TO make their
schedules. had to walk ahead. 1t would
seem possible for such q delay to be
avoided in most cases by relegating to
a policeman. if one is at hand. the de
tail of getting the names of witnesses.
the policeman to represent both sides.
1t is the primary business of the car
company to move. passengers, and the
legal considerations affecting its misfor-
tunes should not put handicap upon
the passengers. OF course. when an ac-
cident absolutely blocks the track pas
sengers are necessarily delayed, but
when the blockade is merely one of
clerical routine, as it may be called,
there is naturally, justifably, an i'm
patience on the part of the passengers,
who may be gravely disconnected by
the stoppage. The public utilities COM
mission might take this matter up with
the traction companies to discover, if
possible, a mode of adjustment that will
reduce the delays to a minimum.

HOW TO FEED HENS
IN SHORT COURSES

How to feed hens is to be taught
in a six-weeks' short course in poul-
try to be given by the University of
California at the University farm at
Davis from October 2 to November
IA, short courses being in progress at
the same time in agriculture, horti-
culture and dairy manufactures.
The farmers and their wives who
come to these practical short courses
for adults will be given the benefit
of the Investigations which the poul-
try division of the University farm
has been carrying On for the past
three years concerning the compara-
tive feeding values of high protein
feeds, such as meat-scrap, fish-scrap,
buttermilk, linseed, soy bean, and
cocoanut meals, blood meal, tankage,
alfalfa meal, ETC., for laying hens. The
results indicate, says the university,
that it makes little difference what
kinds of such feeds are fed to laying
hens so long as the ration contains
some animal feed, has an approx
mately correct nutritive ratio, and
has the foods properly proportioned in
ration. How hens are fed, says the
university, is just as vitality import

SAVAGE TIRE COMPANY
TO ADD TO EQUIPMENT

C. l.. Chimes, factory overseer, at
the Savage Tire Company's San Diego
plant, arrived home a few days ago
after trip to Chicago and other east
ern points, where he made arrange
ments for the addition of considerable
equipment to the San Diego factory.
The Savage Tire Company's plant has
been working to its full capacity all
year, but at that have found it diff
ficult to supply the demand. When
the new equipment, for which Mr..
Climes has arranged has been installed
material increase in the factory out
put is promised.
Incidentally Mr.. Chimes reports that
Savage tires and Savage grafinite
tubes have already established en-
viable regulations for themselves all
through the middle west. Motorists
have nothing but words of praise for
Savage products wherever used. A
man, prominent in the tire industry,
when asked the most popular tire said
that it was hard to decide now between
three well known makes, but that at
the rate Savage tires were forging to
the front it looked as though they
would be undisputed leaders before the
end of the year in every midwest
locality in which they are sold.

Army Bill Not Approved.

Washington, Aug. 19.-President
Wilson has vetoed the army appropri-
ations bill, an act making appropria-
tions for the support of the army for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1917.
His action resulted from a provision
in the bill exempting retired army
officers from liability to service and
discipline under the articles of war.
The exemption provision itself grew
out of objections made by certain re-
tired officers when asked to serve fol-
lowing the outbreak of the Mexican
trouble, at recruiting offices and mus
tering stations.
The veto of the appropriation bill,
carrying $267, 100000, will delay the
general military reorganization as
provided for in a separate measure,
now law, which provides for regu-
la1 army of 175,000 regulars and 43O,-
900 national guardsmen.
Chairman Chamberlain of the SEN
ate military affairs committee declar-
ed the upper house would insert the
old articles of war when the new
house measure reaches the senate.
A bitter fight in conference is ex-
pected when the new bill reaches that
stage.

CANTU SECURES
LEADING ENGINEER

Calexico Chronicles: Fred Dato,
who returned from Tia Juana and En-
senada yesterday, stated that Col. Es-
teban Cantu, military governor of
Lower California, will return to
Mexicali, his capital, about Septem-
her 8, to be there in readiness for the
big celebration of September 1916,
when Mexicali will pay honor to the
n emory of the Heroes of Chapultepec
Mr.. Dato states that Col. Cantu
has enlisted the services of Gonzalez
Garlic, one of the best known engi-
neers in all Of Mexico, and that he
has become permanent member Of
the governors staff.
Engineer Garlic designed and con-
structed the postoffice at Mexico City
as we'll as numerous other important
public works in Mexico.
He will have charge in the future
of all of the engineering works which
will be planned and carried out by the
Lower California government.
Included in these are new water
and sewer systems for Tia Juana, now
+ under way, new concrete barracks
for Tia Juana; completion of the
Mexican military road to Yecate and
Ensenada from MeXicali; construc-
ton of a soap factory and a shirt
factory, which is promised for Mexi-
cali, as well as a number of minor
engineering works.
Among others, however, of prime
Importance to this community, will

states that Col. Cantu will be ready
to have the paving job go ahead in
Mexicali around the park, around the
new school and along the Avenida Por-
firio Diaz, as soon as he returns to
Mexicali early in September.
At present there are about 600
men employed on the military road
to Tecate. These men all receive
$50 a day and are well fed. The
work on the road is being rushed and
is much of the time under Col. Can
tu's personal supervision.

He performed menial duties about
camp, silently and almost morosciy
and no one interferred with him. He
lust did odd jobs here and there, pok-
ing his nose into various tents, taking
interest in doings of men and ofti-
GERS alike. No one seemed to mind
him very much.
Last night the stranger went away.

The results will be set forth of
many other Investigations which are
constantly being carried on to increase
the prosperity of the poultry indus
try in California.
To help the short course students
to grasp the fundamental principles of
poultry husbandry and learn their
practical application in the business
of raising poultry is the object of the
course. They will be taught how to
batch, rear, feed, breed and care for
fowls. Instruction will be given also
in practical carpentry work in build
ing poultry houses and making coops,
nests, hoppers, crates, etc. Demon
strations will be given of the best
way to grow such crops as alfalfa,
rape, kale, beets, etc, for green feed
for fowls. There will be instruction
in how to irrigate crops, plow and
handle soils of different type, and OPP
crate, repair, and care for such farm
machinery as gasoline engines, bone
cutters, field tools, etc.

Chicago Alarmed by Epidemic.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Infantile paraly-
sis is increasing in Chicago to an
alarming extent. Eighty known cases
have been reported this month, it was
admitted today by health department
officials, and spread of the disease is
continuing. They deny, however, that
the malady is epidemic.
At the county hospital it was ad-
mitted today there are 81 cases quar-
antined and emergency preparations
being made to receive much greater
number. An average of three patients
day is being received and the pro-
cession is increasing rather than
diminishing. Three of the victims at
the county hospital are adults.
That the mysterious plague is
spreading is indicated by the fact that
with very few exceptions, none of the
cases come from the same locality.
DR.. Henry B. Thomas, an infantile
paralysis specialist, declared that
"while the situation should cause no
great alarm, it is the gravest we have
lad in years."
Three new cases were discovered
today, bringing the total number dis
covered thus far to S3.
