EXIT TROLLEY CARS IN?

The passing of the present trolley
car system is predicted by the Los
Angeles Express. Commenting on the
proposition of having the city of San
Francisco buy the United Railway. the
paper says:
In the present state of municipal
transportation, with the certainty
that economical storage. batteries
presently will be developed, we think
1t would be an act OF business folly
for any American city to buy a sur
face street car system. The trolleys
of the United States will disappear
within the next generation as COM
pletely as did the cable car in the
last.
Precisely as the trolley put the
cable on the dump heap. so the stor-
age battery will cause the trolley to
be scrapped. The poles and wires
that now disfigure the streets Will
disappear. The tracks themselves.
expensive an installation and costly
in maintenance, will lose their value
Surface transportation in American
cities ultimately will be conducted by
means of vehicles propelled by stor-
age batteries along trackless road
ways.
The use of the trolley. with its
poles. its wires and it's tracks. as fac
tors in surface transportation, is near
TO the end of Its era"

hold Effects for Whiskey.
The Buffalo police last week
brought into city court a man who.
they charged, had been on nine
months drunk. When he was ar
rested he was lying on the floor Of
his bedroom sleeping off the effects
OF his latest spree. The police said
there was not a stick of furniture In
the room and no heat. A witness
who appeared against the man said
that he had been drunk since last
April, beginning to drink when he
received insurance money from the
death Of his brother. This money
did not last long. however, and he
began selling his furniture. He COM
menced with the parlor and went
through the house until all that was
left re the kitchen stove and his
bed. inally these followed the rest
of the furniture. and when the poiics
took him into custody his house was
entirely barren OF furnishings.

NEGRO FAMILIES
SUFFER FIRE LOSS

Several hundred dollars damage
was done by an early morning fire that
burned a negro settlement house on
State Street, near Louisiana, in Full
ton. When the department arrived
on the scene they found the building
burning furiousiy. but 1t required only
short time to get the blaze under
control.
The house was populated by several
negro families, but they all got to
places OF safety before the progress
OF the fire cut off their avenues of es-
cape. 1t IL not known what started
the blaze, which. on account Of the
building being frame, made a rapid
Roadway.

I am stronger for the old songs than
/ can be for the new,
Not single heart throb answers,
''Yakka- Hoola Hickey doo,"
I don't yearn for Pretty Baby" and
this 'Doggone DANCE rous Girl
Paints no pictures on my mem'ry, does.
not set my brain awhirl; n !
I can get more In a minute out OF
dear old Nancy Lee"
AS used to hear folks sing It in the
days that used to be.
Than 1 can when Old Bill Bailey
plays That Ukelele Thing"
There Is more of pain than pleasure
in the songs the moderns sing.
There were bushels more Of sweetness
in the days OF yesteryear
When someone strummed the guitar
and sung THE Spanish Cavalier"
Than there is in flnger-snapping while
someone sings horrors new,
And there's nothing sung today like
Amber Tresses Tied With Blue"
And I'll Take You Home, Kathleen"
Is dearer. sweeterAoh, BY fart.
Than the advertised best sellers of the
present moment are.
These days are the best days ever. and
keep up with the throng,
But like a little feeling and some
music in a song.
