 Up till Sunday night it had. been a sort of legend in Chinatown that the only drunken oriental seen there was away back in the eos.
 When Detective Walsh and George Hippely saw Ah Jim come weaving up Grant avenue the other night they could scarcely believe their eyes.
 But when An Jim stopped in front |of them and blew his breath in their faces and told them what he thought of them, they concluded he must be drunk.

. COLUMBUS FOUND PAVING LAKE
Asphalt of Trinidad Supplies the
 World.

Nose people think asphalt merely grows on well-paved streets and they little realize that it is brought 2,0O0 miles from lake on the Island of Trinidad At a recent convention Charles w. Baylis, president of an asphalt company. told the romantic story of the island, where Columbus landed on his third voyage away back in the fifteenth century and discov- cred the lake.
 When Columbus landed on the is- land his ships were in bad condition and the lake was a great find" said MT. Baylis. Columbus used the na- tural product, which he called pitch, to caulk his ships. It is n. eresting to note that he named the Island of Trinidad, which means Trinity, be- cause of the three mountain peaks which first met his eye on the horizon One can imagine that this landmark looked very good to him after his long voyage and to his religious nature called to mind the Holy Trinity.
 The surface of the lake looks like an elephants wrinkled hide. Enough asphalt has been taken from 1t in the last fifty years to pave a street eigh- teen feet wide and running clear around the world. and yet it's surface has been lowered less than a foot. It Is in d constant state of gentle agita- ton, being of volcanic formation, and if you plunge a stick into it uprightly today, tomorrow the piece of wood has disappeared.

In THREE PARTs--pARTu II

\
 c. Some object to No. 13 because it repeals that part of the Constitution which limits the number of amend ments that may be passed at one elec- ton to three, claiming that the people can not give proper consideration to greater number. Is this objection well founded?
 A. No. Experience mother states mas proven that no matter how many amendments are on the ballot the vot- CTS show discrimination, approving some and rejecting others. We never near this objection made against Con- sututions submitted by constitutional conventions, yet they contain many more amendments than will ever ap- pear on the ballot at one time. Amend ments initiated under No. 13 must be printed in some paper of general cir culatlon five months before election. and commencing three months before election, for thirty days notice must pc publlshed m some weekly paper in each county which has one, full text of the proposed amendments, so that every voter may have an opportunity to become familiar with them. Again, there IS no limit to the number of laws 1 that may be submitted to the people at one election, but no one has ventured the suggestion that the people are not intelligent enough to vote upon all that may be submitted.
 q. Amendment No. i3 provides that majority of those voting on an amendment shall adopt or reject it. instead of requiring a majority of the total vote cast i the election. Will not this make it too easy of amending the Constitution?
 A. Certainly not If voters are not sufficiently interested to vote either way upon an amendment their vote should not be counted either way. Under the present law those who fail to vote either way are counted against an amendment, thus presuming that if they voted at all it would be against the amendment, while every one knows that If they had been interested enough to vote the ballots would have been cast m the same proportion as those that did vote, which wuld leave the re- suit unchanged. The trouble with re- quirlng a majority of the highest vote cast in the election to adopt an l-s'ANAApiiASttS ftldhCc it dtilbSl to amend the Constitution. In the last election all three amendments were adopted by good majorities of those voting up- on them, some of them two for to one against them the 73,000 or more vot- CTS who did not vote either way. A forcible illustration of the great diff ticulty of amending constitution un- der the handicap of requiring a ma jority of the total vote cast is in the state of Massachusetts, whose con- stitution has forty-four amendments and only three of these received a ma lority of the votes cast in the election
 q. Will not the Initiative permit n radical element and theorists to make laws?
 1 A. No. To initiate an amendment will require petitioners representinc
 10 per cent of the vote for governor in the preceding election, approximately from l2,000 to 1S,000 voters. If this
 number of voters favor law they should at least be heard, and this is ail that an Initiative petition means. for It has to be adopted at general elec- uon before becoming a law. If if is such good law that a majority of those voting thereupon approve it. if
