GOOD SUPPORT TO Be
GIVEN TO HIGHWAY PLAN
Business Men of San Francisco to
Lend Their Aid i'm Complet-
ing Project.

AS the western terminal of the
Lincoln Highway, San Francisco is
going to help complete the extern
sion of the great transcontinental
highway through Nevada and Cali
fornia. Plans for the assistance
which this city will give to the Lin
coin Highway Association in build
ing the roads through the two west
ern States will be outlined at a
meeting which will be held Wednes-
day at the Chamber of Commerce.
Under the leadership of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce
and the Lincoln Highway officials,
the business interests of San Fran
cisco, representatives of the auto
mobile industry and good roads en-
thusiasts will work for the purpose
of having this city do its share in
completing the Lincoln Highway.
At the meeting Wednesday repre-
sentatives from various lines of bus
mess and civic organizations will be
present and the plans for this citys
support in the highway work will
be outlined by Robert Newton
Lynch, general manager of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
1t is planned to have the leading
men in all lines of industry take an
active part in the highway exten-
sion movement. The completion of
the highway to the western termin-
al in this city is so important that
the movement started by the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Lincoln
Highway Association is expected to
meet with popular support from all
classes of business men.
The touring season is just open
ing for transcontinental travel and
with the highway completed thou
sands of motorists from the East
would come to San Francisco. I'm
der present conditions the greater
portion of the travel, which will
come over the highway this season.
will branch off the highway at Ely,
Nevada, and go to the southern
part of the State. While the entire
State will benefit from this travel
the most of the Eastern tourists
start on the Lincoln highway with
the idea that San Francisco is the
official western terminal and If this
tourist travel leaves the route at
Ely and goes to the south simply
because the section of the highway
in Nevada is in poor condition, the
business men of San Francisco,
Oakland and other points along the
route in this State will lose a big
share of tourist travel.
San Francisco will have to de-
pend to a greater extent every year
on the automobile travel from the
East The number of Eastern mot
orists who will take their annual
vacations in their machines, driving
across the continent, will steadily
increase According to reports
these tourists will run into the
hundreds of thousands within the
next two years. These tourists
spend money all along the routes
they travel, but they will not tour
over poor roads.--S. f. Examiner.

be at the starting point on time or
be disqualified. As before, the meet
will be run off most smoothly, and
there will be no delays for any con-
testant.
The observer, were he to visit the
county schools, would find that all
the children from the tots of the
first grade up to the oldest pupils
are training strenuously for the sew
eral events in order that they may
win renown for themselves, that
they may add to the athletic pres
tige of their school, and live up to
the preeedents and high achieve
ments attained by those who have
striyen in the past for the honor
and glory of their community.
The trophies to be awarded to the
yietors are of higher quality than
any ever awarded at any previous
meet in the State. A bronze medal
will be awarded any boy or girl for
winning a first place; a bronze but
ton for second place, and a hand
some ribbon badge for third place.
A silver medal will be awarded to
any competitor making eleven

silion in the evening at eight o.
clock p. m. The trophies will be
awarded at this time by some prom
inent State official. The Jewett
orchestra will furnish the music.
Due to the fact that the grammar
school track meets of the past have
always been intensely interesting
affairs run off in most expeditions
manner, the management expects
this meet to excel all others in keen
competition and large attendance.

The crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture recently issued
makes number of interesting
statements regarding the loss from
exposure and disease in sheep and
cattle in the western States up to
April 1 of this year. Loss of sheep
and cattle for the three months
amounted to 26,S3S animals. The
heaviest loss was suffered by Ne
vada the loss being % per 1000
head. The total loss in Nevada for
the period is shown to have been
about 1000 head, or about 3 per
cent higher than for the 10-year
period, 1905-1914.

VOTES MONEY TO
DESTROY COYOTES

The House of Representatives has
Just voted $250.000 for the destruc-
tion of coyotes. A goodly portion
of this will go to Superior Califor-
MIA and Nevada.
1t was voted on the agricultural
appropriation bill, after most
spirited debate. The opposition was
strong, as the bill originally carried
but $125,000. Chairman Lever, of
the agricultural committee, with
the support of Minority Leader
Mann, proposed the increase.

There is d fish equipped with bifocal eyes. one-half of the lens for seeing above the surface of the water ard the other for submarine use. This char acteriStic also gives the fish its popu- lar name-double eyes.
 The fish inhabits the shores Of South America. Sometimes they swim with the eyes half out of water EXamina- tion shows that each lens is divided into two parts by dark band. The half above the band Is out of water and the other half below the surface.
 Naturallsts tell us that the fsh's eyes became double" from it's practice in swimming with them half submerged. Nature made the part of the eye above water adapted for seeing in the air, while the other part remained adapted for vision under water.
 The double eyes grow to about a foot in length and in Brazil are caught for food.-Philadelphia North Ameri- can.

At last the storm which is ray aging Europe seems to be crossing Atlantic ard threatens to break up on these shores. President Wilson's note 70 Germany is in the nature of a polite ultmatum. Unless Ger many modifies her submarine policy in a degree satisfactory to the United states, Q severance of di- plomatic relations is inevitable, We are possibly now on the verge or war with Germany, a catastrophe that only Germany can prevent. If war comes, which Heaven forbid, it's consequences to the United States cannot be very serious Owing to our geographic position we are less exposed to harm than any of the belligerents and are relatively safe from attack. The German navy cannot reach our coasts, and our navy cen do little beyond aiding the Allied uavies. Our army has yet to be created and it would be mcnths before we had awell-trained and equipped force to send across tho Atlantic. Our most vulnerable point would be the relatively small Ameritan fleet of merchant ships' which would of course be subject to submarine attacks. A big bond issue would be one of the first accompauiments of war. Business relations between Germany and the United States, small as they are' would probably be placed under le- gal restrictions, if not prohibited It is not likely, however, that hostilit.es would very seriously dis tub cur financial markets.

SUCCESS IN CANS-FAlLURES IN
 GIANTS

The boy who says he cant is probably right. To think failure is to net it. Success or failure de- bends on the spinal COlun. Those who succeed have baokbones, those who san have wish bones. A back bone means the determination to pound your paw on the table and say T will" A backbone means jaw set, teeth gritted and fist clenched. It means the strength to laugh at obstacles.
 The word obstacle is found only in the lexicon of the Weak. In the rytE of the strong obstacles are steopins stones. Don't say can't earn mere money; don't say can't dc anytEing. Columbus didn't say Il raut" Fulton didn't say "I can't" Edison didn't say "I can't" Do you know who have said "I can't" Do you know? They are me millions and millions who have c:2E, and whose names are grayeu on the blank walls in the uukuo"u Temple of the Forgotten.
 The greatest lesson in solomon s Songs is this, "As a man thinkest, so i- Ge" As you think so you are. If you say you cant you are prcbaLlv right. But when you sly l CAN you are and will follow ir up ny q WILL" and then the time Will be but shOrtwhenyou wiz say "I DID"

FIRE BAGS AT SEA.
The Kind They Used lntthe Day of the
 Old Finder Box.

The Kind They Used lntthe Day of the
 Old Tinder Box.
 Every whaler and sealer that sailed the seas in the days of wooden ships carried a fire bag. This was q tarpau- lin bag about foot long and six inches wide lined with waterproof material, with interlinings of oilcleth and thick flannel. Into this was placed the flint and finder box for kindliug fire, and the bag was then securely fastened with double flaps and tied to keep its contents dry.
 It was the special duty of the second mate to look after the fire bag and in case of shipwreck to attach t at once to his person by means of stout straps provided for the purpose Thus if off, cers and crew were cast away on some deserted shore in the desolate arctic circle the means of obtaining a fire to warm themselves by and to heat food and drink would rot Eo wanting as long as the precious fire bas. was safe,
 The steam whalers and Scaiers of the present day still carry fire bag stow ed in the llfehoat with the bread and water. but now it Is of rubber and con- tains half a dozen tin boxes of matches. New York Press.
