TWO DISTRICTS
AGGREGATED FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
Bishop Street to Be Extended,
Hotel Street to Be Widened
BY New Projects

Two big improvement districts, one
the extension and paving Of Bishop
street from King to the waterfront,
and the other the widening of the
! waikiki side of Fort street at Hotel,
were inaugurated at the meeting OF
the board of supervisors last night
The former was brought about by
the rejection Of the proposed paving
of Bishop street from King to Queen
by protests signed by so per cent Of
the property holders. Their reason
for protesting was because they be-
lieve II should not be done until the
street Is opened up to the waterfront.
AS a result Arnold moved that the
city and county engineer Immediately
proceed to determine what property
holders are affected on Bishop street
from King to the waterfront and re-.
port to the board. .....
In regard to the protests, Arnold
severely scored the big interests who
were the principal protestants.
1T seems strange that the biggest
firms in the city can not get together
and help improve a street when 1t is
so badly needed" he said, land the
board ought to go on record as sp-
posed to all improvements for Bishop
street The Mahuka site is valuable
property but It will never increase in
value until the streets surrounding Il
are improved. Right now 1t Is not
the wealthy man who suffers by the
lack Of paving, but the poor fellows
who use Bishop street. It could very
easily be paved to Queen street and
have the rest of the work done when
the extension is made II we are going
to extend Bishop street, the sooner We
get started the better, as 1t win prob
ably necessitate the passage of bill
through the legislature to obtain part
of the land" Arnold added.
Larsen opposed the extension. "You
probably do not know, but I do, be-
cause have been told that the Davies
warehouse Is to be torn down and an
other building erected and l move we |
watt" he said.
Eyes, ] know all about that" Ar
mold said, "and for that reason we |
must hurry in drawing the plans Of |
the new buildings, for, IL II Is shown |
that street extension is proposed,
the plans will be made accordingly"
Hotel Street Taken Up Il
The next business considered was /
the public hearing on Hotel street.
Arnold's request that the. hearing be
until next Tuesday as the |
Brewer estate wanted the waikiki side I
Of Fort street widened In conjunction
with the widening Of Hotel. Tuesday |
they will bring IN a report as TO what /
they will do, Arnold said. ''It has
been figured that the new work will
cost approximately $4,000. It is,
however, absolutely impossible to have
both projects in one Improvement. 1
I'VE simply have not the money for
It." he said. I'm widening Hotel we
have done what other boards have
.ried 10 years to do. However, feel
hat the work should be done and,
.herefore,f let us work it up to the
public hearing and assessment roll and
when our successors take office in
July they can finish 1t. 1t will give
hem start which was more than
We had"

of these professional men. In fact,
they are so scarce that almost every

printed calling for 10000 doctors for
the French army or $4,000 doctors
wanted on the British battle front.
The figures are growing all the time,
and very soon it is likely, unless Rus

PARAGON OF DOGS
Steamboat Captains Pet Was in
Class by Itself.
One Performance, However, Brought
Argument Whether He Was Wisest
of His Kind or Plain
Canine Fool.

The bulldog Of the Esneralda, packet
freighter for the settlements between
Portland and Machias, In intelligence
and accomplishments, is reckoned a
paragon of dogs In Portland he walks
uptown with the captain and returns
alone with any purchases and neWspa-
pers which may be intrusted to him.
He even brings back meat, and this
quota of self-restraint puts him in a
class by himself Holman Day writes
in Harper's Magazine.
One day, according to legend, this
dog was actor in an affair which has
been debated warmly ever since; it
gives rise to the argument whether the
dog is the wisest Of his generation or
just a plain canine fool. There is no
middle ground among the disputants
along the water front. The event itself
was sufficiently grotesque to merit
mention.
The captain decided to test the dogs
Intelligence as a shopper. Therefore
he put a coin into a basket which he
hitched to the animals collar, and then
raped his knuckles on an outspread
newspaper, getting the dogs undivided
attention. Lastly, he pointed up the
wharf and told the dog to Cit" Fido
obeyed with alacrity and went up
the wharf's roadway in a cloud Of dust.
At the head Of the long wharf there
was a bold terrace Of little park
whose Irish caretaker had turned out
to Craze his pair of pet goats, hitched
together with a short leash. The dog
dashed up the terrace and overlook the
frightened goats, setting his jaws on
the leather leash with his best grip.
The goats leaped from the embank-
ment, carrying the dog with them, and
landed on a fruit peddler'S doing
horse, a goat on each side like saddle
bags; the leash held, and SO did the
bulldog. Down the wharf went the
outfit, and the terrified horse did not
pause when he reached the end; he
Ieaped over the rail of the Esmeralda
and went fiat on deck in a tangle Of
harness, goats and dog.
After matters had been set right, in
Guiding pay to tha fruit merchant and
apologies to the goat owner, the cap
tain took Fido to one side and dispar
aged his intelligence, rapping his
knuckles once more on the newspaper
and informing the canine shopper that
he had not been sent for goats or ba-
nanaS
"Just a minute, sir" broke in the
cook, who was listening. "Do you no.
tice what you have been rapping your
hand on?"
The captain looked at the sheet. 1t
carried a big advertisement of book
beer with goat rampant in the middle
of it.

DADDYSEWNLN(
ARY TALL.
THE MONKEY.
~ MARY GRAHAMBQNNER

"a hurdy-gurdy, or hand organ"
said Daddy, "came to town one day
when it was very, very hot. Down the
village street the old man played tune
after tune as he stopped in front of
different shops and houses.
ga monkey was with him and the
monkey took off his cap and put the
pennies which were given to him into
his cap and then into his little pocket
CT the red coat he wore. He was all
in red and he looked rather hot and
uncomfortable.
"The man would make the monkey
do tricks and the people who watched
gave the monkey money. Later on
the man took the money. For what
could the monkey do with pennies? He
could not go out and buy food. No,
he had to take just what was given to
him. And sometimes he did not get
quite enough.
"And yet the old man was almost
greeted with smiles. No one asked
him if he was good to his monkey. No
one said that he ought not to be max
ing the monkey work on such hot
day.

Helmets Save Soldiers Lives.

A British medical correspondent
commenting upon some recent French
statistics, says: "Out Of So cases of
head injury it was found, for exam
pie, that ~ occurred in soldiers who
wore no helmets. Among the AZ there
were % fractured skulls. The remain
ing 10 cases suffered from severe scalp
wounds. Among the Is cases which
wore helmets there was not a single
fracture of the skull; eight showed
some cOncuSsiOn effects and five had
slight wounds. A considerable num-
Der of the unprotected cases died /;
none of the protected died. The most
significant fact which has emerged
since the helmet was introduced was
emphasized by Doctor RousSy at the
Academy of Medicine last year. He
said that the percentage Of cases show
ing wounds in the head had increased.
The reason was, of course, that the
number of sudden deaths from the
cause had markedly decreased"

HELPING THE FIGHTING MEN
From the Extension Division Of the
University Of Wisconsin.

By organizing mutual employers
and employees association, the Mil
waukee Electric Rail and Light com
pany has reduced the amount Of sick
ness among employees by one half.
Both employer and employe apparently
consider the investment well worth
while from a purely dollars and cents
point of view.
After making great gains in the
health of the employees themselves, the
company found it to be good business
to extend the service to the families of
the employees as we'll. 1t was deter
mined that no man was as good at his
work as he ought to be if his mind was
disturbed by thoughts of a sick wife or
child at home In the instance of the
train employees, it is believed that the
company will save itself, its passen-
gers, and the public generally, many
accidents which might be very costly in
dollars and in lives.
That experience offers great lesson
to public officials and the people gener-
ally in the war predicament in which
we now find ourselves. President Will
son, Governor Phillip, State and Local
Defense councils are urging that our
success in war depends as much upon
our productiveness in various forms of
manufacturing and agricultural indus
tries as in the strength and effective
ness of our fighting men.
Obviously. the health of workers on
farms and in villages and cities is a
most important factor in determining
what the productiveness of the country
will be. Likewise, in the matter of
economies, if the amount of sickness
could be reduced by one half an enor-
nous sum of money would be directly
saved.
Every community, every family, and
every individual can do great deal to
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1917-07-12

reduce illness by two means, first by
building up health and resistance;
second, by preventing disease and cur
ing it as rapidly as possible. It is a
patriotic duty now to avoid abuses
which invite sickness, to eat and exer-
else properly, and secure proper rest
The secret of preventing and rapidly
curing disease is just as simple. In
general, it consists in discovering little
ills early and removing them before
they become big.
That has been the method of the
electric company. 1t is method that
can be equally we'll employed by the
public if an equal amount of will and
intelligence is employed on the job.
