of it's teens with the same horror that the
average man recollects his OVID outrageous
doings at that awkward age.

Our friend Leicester Holland has been
made a doctor of philosophy by the U. of p.
for having written a thesis on Traffic Ways
About France in the Dark Ages" Perhaps
he will continue this train of investigation
and give us thesis on the skip stop system

The subjects of doctor of philosophy

man. Miss Emily Foulkrod, for instance, is
now a PHI. d. by reason of her treatise on

1--WE often wondered since where the Har-
rsburg of 1873 kept its fire horses Pos
sibly it hadn't gotten beyond the man power
and the bucket brigade stage!
Twelve years later, when 7 made my first
entry into Harrisburg as a legislative cor
respondent. / discovered that they then kept
the fire horses at pasture somewhere out on
Third street. now a populous region Of
pretty homes. In those days fires were in
frequent and the volunteer department was
small.
There was one engine company. down on
Chestnut street ] think. that pastured its
horses between fires. It was cheaper to
pasture them than to pen them up and feed
them in the frehouse.
When an alarm was sounded two volun-
teers would leap on a spare horse, bare
back, and go clattering and smashing out to
the pasture.
Ten minutes later they would return on
dead gallop. one on each horse, with an
escort of yapping dogs and shouting urchins
in the rear, while crowds lined the street and
hung from the windows watching the fire
conquering heroes come.
1t was great day in Israel for the Har-
risburg populace when the fire tocsu called

ENIFTEEN years since the magician of
L twentieth century progress touched the
municipal pride of the capital city and
wakened 1t to a new and radiant exstehce.
The Transformation has been proceeding each
wear with accelerated impulse.
The cobble- strewn waters edge and the
clayey banks of the Susquehanna have dis
appeared. In their stead is magnificent
reyetment, or river wall, that holds sug-
pestions of Venice near the Arsenal. Above
and behind it is a boulevard whose stately
trees, minus the bordering residences, recall
the ancient Toltec Highway of Tula in the
heart of old Mexico.
This Riverside Drive, with its gray retain
ing wall. is the most beautiful and imposing
work of it's kind in the United States.
A few blocks in the center of the city hold
the only memories that now remain OF Har-
risburg as a three story red brick country
town, 4,
But to appreciate this wonderful ad-
| yancement one must have known the city
and watched it grow as i have; run the
gamut of progressive change, and the grace

LA TIJERA SOLDIER
SEVERELY WOUNDED IN
2 BATTLES IN FRANCE

Among those who recently returned
to the city, after doing service for I'm
Gle Sam on the battlefields of France,
none can tell more thrilling story
than Fidel Baca, who enlisted in this
city, and as member of the 10th
infantry, Twenth-eighth division, was
sent to France. He returned to the
city several weeks ago, and immedl-
ately went to his home in the TtJeras
canyon, Sandia mountains, where he
is farmer and ranchman.
Baca was in the city yesterday on
business and to receive treatment from
local physician. He was wounded III
both legs and also received a wound
in one of his arms in the first real en-
gagement by the Americans. He was
sent to a base hospital and after near
ly two months in the hospital he was
discharged. He joined his unit, par
ticipated in another battle and bull
let struck his rifle and glancing. tore
a hole in his stomach. He fell to the
ground and laid there several hours
before he was found and removed to
the first aid service depot and thence
ID a base hospital. Baca's wounds are
pretty we'll healed, but he is never
theless still receiving treatment from a
focal physician.

Circulation of Petition to Leg
islature Begun Asking That
Body to Authorize Holding
Election Here.

The state legislature will be asked
to authorize the holding of an cleo
ton here which will give citizens the
opportunity of expressing their pref
erence for establishing the alder
manic form of government or retain
ing the commission manager form
now in power.
This came to light Tuesday when
the circulation of petitions to the
Legislature was begun. The circula-
tors stated that they did not intend
to send the petition to Santa Fe until
they had obtained more signatures
than votes cast for the adoption of
the charter under which the commits
sion is operating. They said they
hoped to reach their goal in few
days, asserting that 900 persons had
signed on the first day.
The petition follows
To the Honorable Antonio Sedllo,
Speaker of the New Mexico House
of Representatives, Santa Fe, N. M.
| We, the undersigned voters of the
city of Albuquerque, petition the New
Mexico legislature through you to
take up and settle the matter of the
government of this city and settle it
on a just basis and in such manner
as will permit the city to have an
efficient and progressive government.
The supreme court of New Mexico
has held by innuendo, at least, that
the charter under which the present
city government operates is unconsti-
tutional. We know that it is unwork-
able, when the best interests of the
city are concerned.
We hold that the commission form
has demonstrated, during the fifteen
months it has been in operation. that
it is unsuited to our city's needs and
that it costs more than revenues of
the city justify.
Therefore, we petition that anoth-
er election be authorized in which
the voters of the city will be given
opportunity to express their prefer
ence between returning to the alder
manic system under a charter that
will not be in contraVentiOn of the
state constitution and retaining the
present form of government.
We, the undersigned voters, are
more in number than the total num-
her of votes cast for the present
charter and more in number than
the total number of votes cast when
the present city commissioners were
elected
