STORAGE BATTERY
OFTEN DECEPTIVE
Cheap Paint and Nifty Box Do
Not Mean Real Service.

The electric storage battery. never has
received the consideration from auto
mobile dealers it deserves because of the
fact that it has no reciprocating parts
and does It's work without sound or
movement
The vital parts Of battery, the in
side of 1t, Is just as much a secret from
the average motorist as the riddle Of the
SPHINX and the only way a car owner can
tell whether his battery is a good one or
not Is to wait and see how 81 works. 1t
may give him a few mOnthe service or
It mag deliver IT'S current steadily and
meet all demands placed upon It for two
years. The ease with whiCe poor

sidney box. and then topped off with n
fancy coat Of paint, has been the cause
CT n large number OF inferior batteries
being placed on the market.
The only protection a motorist has
against this, says a member Of the firm
Of Higgins and Randall, distributors for
the National battery. is to buy from
firm in which he has confidence. men
who have been engaged in the electrical
business for a time sufficient TO make
them battery experts and men who have
the real interests Of their customers at
heart
"In our own case" one OF the part
ners said I'VE long ago decided that we
would employ only expert, experienced
men In our battery department. novice

storage battery, and only experts should
attempt to do any work on it,

CHILDREN ONLY
IN NEW BUILDING
Apartment Specially Designed
for Riddles.

At last 1t has come, after all these
years of hoping and waiting on the part
of hundreds of families, 1t is here, the
apartment house built especially for fam
lilies having small children, an apartment
house into which no family will be ad-
mitted unless 1t numbers in its midst
small child or more.
The apartment house which was dedi-
Gated yesterday was built by the E. G,
Sphinx Company and is located at Thirty
Seventh and Pennsylvania streets. 1t con
tains ffty-four apartments Of four and
FIVE rooms each and is strictly modern
in every particular. According to E.
Sphinx, president Of the company, almost
all suites In the building have been re
served.
"In planning this building" Mr.. Sphinx
said, 1--WE had IN mind not only home
for the children, but new ideas not gen
orally incorporated in apartment house
building before this. One of tEs special
features is a large kindergarten school
occupying the spacious and well Hum.
mated basement The school opened to
day under the direction of Mrs. NJ. c.
Penfeld formerly of New York. an edu-
Gator. of wide Experience. The school Is
open 10 children of less than 6 years Of
aga who are living in the apartment. A
limited number Of children from the
neighborhood also win be accepted"
Mr.. Srink said that 40 far as he had
been able to learn this is the first school
Of Its kind to be opened IN the Middle
West and there was only one other In
existence that rs operated In connection
with al spartm, mt house.
Beautincation Of the grounds surround
ing the apartm INT has been given special
attention and fountain pool and garden
of more than usual artistic taste have
been placed In the space between the
wings of the building. In the center OF
the pool is a piece of statuary depicting
childhood a small boy leading a goat
The piece was designed by Myra Rey-
nolds Richards, local sculptress Of more
than usual ability.
During the present year the r. g. Sphinx
Company carried out its building pro.
gram on a large scale. In addition to the
apartment house mentioned above. 1t
completed sixty four apartment build
ing at Illinois and Twenty First streets
which will be ready for occupancy Nov. l..
Another project well under way is the

said, land the necessities Of one year in
few years become a joke. The old
days, when a taxicab patron was rer-
fectly content to ride in any old bunch
Of motorized junk that could chug and
sputter to the passengers destination,
are gone forever. The old days of the
dirty taxi-perhaps a battered old sec
ond or third hand car--also are gone
Nowadays the travelling public de-
mands about the same class Of service
as is given the millionaire by his own
chauffeur nj his big, hiih powered, high
priced machine Courteous. well-in
formed, intelligent drivers also are in
demand for the taxicab business.
"Only the best and most modern cars
will satisfy the public. Recently we pur-
chased twenty-eight machines at $4,000
each, and these cars are nj marked con-
trast to the junk equipment used by
some companies not so very many years
ago.
THE use Of taximeters also is n fine
thing, and most heartily approve the
ordinance passed be the city council
making II compulsory for taxicabs to
install them. Their use afford absolute
protection against overcharges by graft
ing drivers and abOlishes the arguments
formerly so sommOn in the business.
-Four years ago, lorg before the present
ordinance went into force. we installed
taximeters on our taxicabs, and they
have been equipped with them ever since.
Another interesting feature OF the
business is the ever-increasing use of
the taxicab for business purposes. For
merly they were used only in great
emergencies by business firms, but 1t has
come about that they are rapidly sup
planting the slower means Of transport
tation where matters Of real Importance
are concerned"

NEW TAXIS MEET
MODERN DEMANDS

Public demands for better service In

except those denied by the constitution. The national
has only the powers given by the consttu
tion.
Under the constitution the national government
have adequate power but that power must be
cised by officers chosen by the people, and the power
is not unlimited The idea that the majority control
of the has the right to speak the voice
of the people, and to do whatever it chooses to do
not the American idea. The rule of the majority is
limited by the constitution.
The third important point of the constitution is
that the people who made the constitution remain super

The constitution provides for its amendment and with
the single exception of equal representation Of the states
in the that power of amendment is urlimited 1t
is required however, that the amendment shall be made
according constitutional method that is intended

There is therefore in the constitution provision for
every desirable change addition. The people may
add the power of the national government Or they
may decrease that power The people may change the
institutions of government, alter the methods

not increase the powers of government without increas

Reindeer Experiment a Success

There are now about 100000 reindeer in Alaska
and their value is between three and four million dollars.
These not only meat supply to the people Of
hat region, but also draft pack animal in trans
porting mails and merchandise while their skins
ised for clothing or for tents, and the milk be used
in its natural state made into butter cheese.
The food of the reindeer is the moss that is found
vast quantities hruout the Arctic region, and this
food which formerly unused is dug by the reindeer
from beneath the winter SHOWS.
The first reindeer sent into Alaska from
Siberia in 1891, result of the efforts of DR.. Sheldon
Jackson, who that the rapid destruction of whale,
seal and walrs by the white rapidly diminish
ing the food supply of the natives. The first herd of
reindeer numbered is, and later in the year $50
imported. BY 1900 about 200 reindeer had been
imported from Siberia, and in that year band of
reindeer masters brought from Lapland in
srct the Alaskans in the and of these animals
This is of the most successful experiments of its
kind in human history. A natural product has been
utilized considerable population has been saved from
famine and its condition very greatly benefited.
Alaska where the Esquimaux lived nomads
upon precarious supply Of fish and animals, is
land Of herds and pastures that exports its
,lus of reindeer steaks to San Francisco and other
American cities.
