1T IS UNNECESSARY
Opening Main Street to Union Station
an Improvement that Can
be Put OFF

Several days ago there was pub
llshed IN the Star a petition to have
North Main street opened from Nav
street to the Seaboard railroad. This
petition, judging by the fact that
many names which appear there have
been removed from the city for a long
time, is an old one.
At the time this petition was circu-
lated there may have been good reas-
ons advanced for the opening of this
street In order to give access to two
crossings on the Seaboard railroad on
account of the proposition to build
the. union depot north of its tracks.
However since then the location has
been changed to the south side of the
track and the necessity for crossing it
to reach the depot no longer exists.
We are of the opinion that there is
no real necessity for opening this
street at this time as it appears that
the traffic to and from the union depot
can be very conveniently handled in
the open space provided just south of
the building. The buildings at the
west side of the site next to Magnolia
street are to be removed which will
leave ample room for traffic in that
direction. Again, if there should be
congestion of traffic, the obstructions
on North Osceola street could very
easily be removed and in this manner
give an outlet at the east side of the
depot lot.
The city council has been at work
for some time on the budget for the
coming years assessments and viii
in all probability close up the matter
at its next meeting. By close figuring
and economy during the coming year
the council has concluded that the
millage can be lowered from IL to
.915 mills. This, however, does not
contemplate the buying of property,
with the additional expenses of con-
|demnation proceedings and other
necessary expenses, for opening new
streets. The city's experience along
the line of opening new streets has
been very expensive as will be noted
by referring to the opening of South
Fourth street for several blocks. This
ease has been going on now for some
years and is still being blocked by
lawsuits. The cost already involved
in this case will probably open the
eyes of taxpayers and make them
wonder whether street opening is ad-
visable And, too, this proposition is
one that is badly needed for sanitary
reasons, which probably makes justi-
fable even the great expense involv-
ed.
AS we see it, the opening of North
Main street at this time is entirely
unnecessary, and we believe that the
taxpayers will agree with US.

COMPANY A HAS NEW CLOTHES

Company A received several boxes
filled with new hats, shoes and uni
forms yesterday, and last night and
this morning the officers were busy
fitting out the men.
It is saying that army clothes are
not made to fit, but nevertheless a
well-built man looks well in them
even if they are several points off his
figure. So long as they are not too
tight they look good and feel good.
So the boys of A Company are a
finer looking set of lads today than
ever.
They handed Shorty Mcleod a
good fit. Shorty looks every inch a
soldier and as you know there are a
good many inches of Shorty. Julian
and Ray Bullock won't have to cut off
their rations any more. The only un-
happy man in the bunch is Emilio
Garcia, and he will be happy as soon
as he can have suit boiled down.

Goose Eat.

Goose fat makes excellent pastry that
is absolutely free from any flavor of
the bird or of the onion stuff1ng The
pastry turns out light and short
when this sort of fat is used. a. Bel
gian recipe is as follows: Throw all the
fat left after drawing the goose into
cold water with little salt as soon as
the goose is drawn. When the bird Is
half done ladle off some of the dripping
before it browns or becomes strong and
as the roasting proceeds leave only
enough dripping in the pan to baste
with. Next day put the dripping. with
the fresh fat, in stewpan, with slices
of apple, and onion If approved. Add
salt and pepper. When done clear it
and strain it into a jar. Cover it and
keep it in a cool place.

Valkyrien, the celebrated Danish
beauty who won the government prize
for the most beautiful woman in Den
mark, is in private life Baroness De-
WITT, and was also a famous actress
and dancer in Denmark. This beauty
stars at the Temple today in play
with an unusual plot of reincarnation
and love, "The Image Maker" The
theme is ''love never died" In it Val
byrien plays two parts: one beauti-
full Egyptian girl known as "The I'm
age Maker of Thebes," who wins the
love of a great nobleman, and the
other, the reincarnation of the girl in
modern America. The atmosphere of
ancient Egypt in the first part is true
to history and furnishes a great con-
trast to the modern life, which is well
presented in the latter half.
