PLUMBING
inspector for Zanesvilie-Board of
Health Takes Advantage of Sus-
sestlon Made Recently by
State Department


GAINESVILLE, July IA resolution
creating the office of city plumbing
inspector, whose duty it will be to
examine plumbing and sewerage sys-
TENS in this city with the purpose of
keeping them in a sanitary condition,
was passed by the board of health at
special meeting Wednesday after
noon in Health Officer McCormick's S
office.
Nobody will be permitted to engage
in the plumbing business here with
out license issued by the inspector,
according to the ordinance. Further
more, everyone given such license
must furnish $500 bond to tue board
of health. A small fee will also be
charged the citizen seeking plumb
ing permit which will be used to de-
fray the expenses of the inspector
when he examines the job. All new
ly installed systems must be inspect
ed no matter how small. The board
will appoint an inspector in about two
weeks, His salary will be $1,000 a
year.

SLOW Speed
Of Automobiles a Saving Feature
Clash Between Durbin and
Patterson Cars lnconse.
quentiaI in Results

Only the fact that neither machine
was driven fast saved Carl Durbin of
East Burgess street from injury Fri
day morning when his car and an au-
tomobile driven by Harry Patterson
collided near the street car tracks on
Coshocton avenue.
Durbin was driving his fathers
car and turned from an alley onto the
pavement before he noticed the Pat
terson car which was almost on him
as he made the turn.
A collision was unavoidable and had
the machines been travelling at high
rate of speed, it is very probable that
one or both men would have been
hurt.
The left front wheel of the Durbin
car was mashed and the tenders were
broken. The other car was unin-
jured.
With the exception Of a sever shak-
ing up and few bruises, neither
driver was injured.

SHRINE HONOR GOES TO BUR-

Minneapolis Meeting Place For Next
Year-Two Dispensations And
One Charter Granted
Wind-Up or The
Sessions

Buffalo, July 13-James G. Burger
of Denver was elected to the office of
outer guard, the first stepping stone
to the highest office in the order, at
the closing session of the forty-second
annual meeting of the Imperial Coun-
Gil, Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, here
today. There was keen competition
for the honor this year, David w.
Grassland of Montgomery, Ala, lead
ing up to the fourth ballot in field
of FIVE candidates. Minneapolis was
selected as the meeting place for June
26, 27 and %, 1917.
All the imperial officers advanced
one station, according to custom, ex-
cept the secretary and the treasurer,
respectively, William s. Brown of
Pittsburg and Benjamin w. Rowell OF
Boston, who were reelected. Henry
N. Niedringhaus of st. Louis thus be-
came imperial potentate.
Dispensations were granted to Kazig
Temple of Roanoke, Va, and Spudan
Temple of New Burn, N. G. The only
temple to get a charter was Alseafar of
San Antonio. The applications of
Champaign, ILL.,, and Topeka, were put
over until next year. An application
for charter for the Panama Canal
one was refused.
Attention was called to the fact that
few women we're allowed to parade
with the Shriners in Buffalo, and it
was decided to enforce more rigidly
the rule including all except Mobiles.
Rain prevented the competitive
drills of Arab Patrols this afternoon.

END OF HOTEL GRATING

The Game Is Becoming Harder For
One OF Our Historic Characters
The end of the hotel CRATER is in
sight. He is facing his enemies brave
ly, but the struggle cannot continue
much longer. He is outnumbered and
outclassed. For centuries he has been
a historic figure, but now he has
reached the tavern where all guests
must register and may register only
once.
In the past the hotel has been his.
He has used its stationery, he has
made it's lobby his office, its office his
private mailing address; it has shelter
ed him from autumn winds, winter
cold, spring rains and summer heat
The pages were ever busy calling out
his name; he addressed all its en-
ployees by their Christian prefixes. His
complaints were ever the first and
loudest and his gratuities were ever re-
markable by their absence.
For long time it was a popular be-
lief among the theatrical profession
that any man wearing a fur-lined and
fur-collared coat might spend his days
and nights undisturbed in the Hobbies
of the finest and best that the city
boasts. But the manager of Times
Square hotel recently said that even
the fur-clad and diamond-decked were
asked to move on If they made habit
of using the ground floor of the hotel
as their individual lodging house with
out ever taking the trouble to find out
what the rooms upstairs were like.
"The attitude toward hotel graft is
changing" said manager recently
This Is due to two apparently unre
lated things. The first is the price OF
real estate and the second Is the dance
craze. You see, the price of real es
tate makes hotels buy as small q
ground space as possible. This natur
ally makes the lobby smaller an6
makes 1t necessary to reserve what
little space thNre is for the conven
ience of the hotels guests. The dane
ing craze has had a similar effect, fol
IL tends to make enterprising hote
men turn every inch of available foo
space into tea rooms, grill rooms anC
bathrooms.
"At one time we were troubled b!
strangers calling for their mail here
But those days are over too. Any out
slider who has mail sent here for an,
considerable period is told politely bu
firmly that he will have to change hi
mailing address"
Another Broadway caravansary too
very different attitude, while W
do not welcome non-paying guests,
said it's controller, nevertheless W
do not object if they use our station
cry. We look upon It as a form of az
vertislng,"
Doesn't that make your stationer
bill immense?"
1--WE look upon that expenditure a
we do upon any other form of adve
tising, and you have to admit that
is rather cheap one. AT the begil
ming of the year we appropriate ce
tain amount for stationeryi of oours
If we had to so over that we migl
take it up seriously"
Now that the days of the hotel gra
ter and the souvenir snatcher hay
passed, the prosperity that the hote
viii enjoy ought to rival that of II
munition works.

CHAPTER VII.

" YE stood In between the hills
MI that guarded the bay Of San
p" Francisco about 10 o'clock
w of an early spring day. A
fresh cold wind pursued us, and the
sky above us was bluer than had
ever seen 1t before, even on the 18TH
mus. To our right some great rocks
were covered with seals and sea lions,
and back of them were hills OF yellow
sand. A. beautiful great mountain rose
green to our left, and the water be-
meath us swirled and eddied In numer-
ous whirlpools made by the tide.
Everybody was on deck and close to
tho rail We strained our eyes ahead
and saw two islands and beyond a
shore of green hills. None OF us knew
where San Francisco was located, nor
could we find out. The ships com
pany were much too busy to pay at
tention TO our questions. The great
opening out Of the bay beyond the
long narrows was therefore q surprise
to us. 1t seemed as vast as an inland
sea. We hauled to the wind, turning
sharp to the south, glided past the bold
point OF rocks.
Then we saw the city concealed In a
bend Of the cove. II was mainly of
canvas, hundreds, perhaps thousands
Of tents and canvas houses scattered
about the sides of hills. The fat was
covered with them, too, and they ex-
tended for some distance along the
shore of the cove. A great dust borne
by the wind that had brought us I'm
swept across the city like cloud Of
smoke. Hundreds and hundreds Of
vessels lay at anchor In the harbor, a
vast feet.
We were Immediately surrounded by
small boats and our decks filed with
men. We had our first sight OF the
genuine miners. They proved to be as
various as the points OF the compass.
Big men, little men, clean men, dirty
men, shaggy men, shaven men, but all
instinct with an eager life and energy
I have never seen equaled.
They addressed us eagerly, asking
"a thousand questions concerning the
news of the outside world. We
could hardly answer them In our de-
sire to question In return. Were the
gold stories really true2 Were the dig
gings very far awayP Were the dig
glngs holding out? What were the
. chances for newcomers? And so on
without end, and the burden always
of gold, gold, gold!
We were answered with the enthu-
siasm of an old timer welcoming a
newcomer to any country. Gold. pien-
