= ONDON,-George F. Cole,
British engineer, who two
- years ago proposed system
of elevated double-decked side
walks to relieve Chicago's terrific
gagged in revolutioniZing Britain's
gas production. Prime Minister
Bonar Law is deeply interested in
Coles scheme and has promised to
place it before the government
for immediate consideration.
Coles plan provides for drastic
changes in heating conditions
throughout the country. It pro-
vides at single stroke q partial
solution of the unemployment
problem in Great Britain. It con-
templates immediate conversion
into gas. at the pit-mouths. Of all
coal mined in the kingdom.
Thence to be carried through
pipes to gasometers Throughout
the country which will distribute
it to consumers. Electricity can
also be manufactured at the mine
through Coles scheme, the coke
and other by-products to be pro-
cured at one-tenth the cost Of the
present process.
1.-The waste of coal in Britain
under the present system Of
handling is appalling" Cole told
Universal Service. 1.-THE supply
Is limited. Anyone who wastes
coal through using open fire
places for heating purpose should
be taxed for wantonly dissipating
the country's resources.
Thousands Of men can be en-.
ployed to convert coal into gas
If my plan is adopted by the
government. Construction work
alone would employ more then
$4,000 men in the coal districts"

SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses

Poor folks always look upon
their rich relatives as stingy.
Things you most need to know
are things your friends don't tell
you.
Why should women study logic
when they can accomplish SO much
more with tears?
Persistency will get your name
on the sign in front Of the store
quicker than pedigree.
Drunken men, orators and people
who beat you to the bathroom know
nothing Of the flight Of time.
There ls but one essential back
of successful advertising, and that
Is giving people a good run for
their money.
There are but three kinds Of
people-those who can't think,
those who don't and those who
are forced to.

wimmin is like fishin' to mem
whether they git anything or not,
they heV the fun anyhow"

Los Angeles Is Talking About Two
Story Streets

The plan calls for the construc-
ton OF streets supported by steel
or concrete pillars, twenty-five feet
above the present level Of the city
streets, leaving these for use of
fast street car service.
while the proposal may seem
paradoxcal," said Councilman
Sanborn, the plan is really very
simple. A new street would be
created. Strong steel Orders
would support the new street.
which would contain automobile
roadways, curbs and moving side
walks.
1.-THE plan could be put into OPP
Grafton at @ comparatively small
cost and would do away with the
diSarrangement of water mains
and conduits under the present
streets. Both the present ground
floors and the second stories Of
buildings would be used by COM
mercial establishments for dis.
plays and shopping oenterS."

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

THILDREN have more need Of
models than Of critics.
A handful of common sense il
worth a bushel Of learning.
A little stream as well az q
river may quench the thirst.
Most Of US put too much faith
in systems and look too little to
men.
Work without hope draws nectar
in a sieve,
And hope without an object can
not live.
-Coleridge.
We ought to attempt, no more
than what il in the compass of
our genius, and according to our
vein.
Amongst such as out Of cum
ming hear all and talk little. be
sure to talk Lessor If you must
talk. say little.
Humility is not an abtectness
of q base mind, but. a prudent
care not to Overvalue ourselves
upon any account.
Love IL like a painter, who in
drawing the picture OF a friend
having a blemish in one eye,
would picture only tho other side
of the face
Contentment consists not In
adding more fuel, but in taking
away some fire-not in multiply
ing wealth, but in subtracting
mems desires.
A man must first be able to
govern himself before he can
govern q family, and his family
before he can bear the govern
ment Of the commonwealth.
There are many men sufficient
ly qualified for being agreeable
who by a few faults, that they
might correct in half an hour, are
not so much as tolerable.
It In said that jealousy Is love,
but that is not true. For though
jealousy is produced by love, as
ashes are by fire, yet jealousy ex-
tinguishes love as ashes smother
the flame.
The manner of a vulgar man
has freedom without ease, and
the manner Of a gentleman has
ease without freedom.

MILWAUKEE CLUB HAS EXHIBITION GAMES THIS WEEK.

TROY, Ala, March 15.-(Special.) The most interesting feature of Troy at present is the Milwaukee base ball clubs daily practices at the fair grounds. The heavy rains of Monday night interfered with prac- tice Tuesday morning, but in the afternoon Manager Clarke was out on the grounds and the boys were hard at work limbering up for the games with the Athletics Friday and Saturday and with the Birmingham Barons on Monday.
 The Milwaukee players were much pleased over the excellent showing they made Sunday against the Ath- letics, who had two weeks practice to the Wisconsin teams one. They believe that the last two days of tlis week will show a different score for Milwaukee.
 The games with the Athletics are being anticipated with thrills by the local fans and there will no doubt be a record crowd to welcome the first game in Troy this season. In dications are that enthusiastic fans will be here from all over this sec ton.
 When the Barons come down from Birmingham Monday they will get a royal welcome from the fans for they have always been favorites in Troy. Many towns around here will send large delegations over to see Birmingham and Milwaukee battle.
 Reports from Birmingham state that Manager Dunn is coming down to Troy with his ,Barons in fine fettle for the Milwaukee game. He states that he is leaving his rockies in Birmingham and will bring along his heaviest artillery. The lineup will probably be: Sumter Clarke.

Worlds Tennis Rules Revised at Big Meet

PARIS, March 15.-(By Associated s.)-The revised international lawn tennis rules. framed at the rules conference in London last De- cember, and including the sugges- tions subscribed by the United States Lawn Tennis association. were adopt ed at a meeting here today of the rules board of the international fed eration.
 Clause 2S of the new rules allows 10 minutes rest after the third set of mems match or after the second set of a woman's match. The rest period however. may be waived by any na- tion except during competition for the Davis cup. By this clause the Davis cup becomes the only reeog- nized international competition.
 The United States was not repre- sented today, but it is said at tomor- be received of Americas adherence to the international body. The federa- tion, 1t is authoritatively stated. will no longer recognize competition de- signed to determine a worlds singles championship such as has been done in the case of the Wimbledon tourna- ment. Thus the selection of world champions will be left to the press experts or popular opinion, and as such they will be unofficial.

 The team will return Thursday to open a three-game series here with Toronto at Redwood.

 These teams are figures to give the second team men plenty of compsti- tion and will bring out whatever likely men there is in the squad. Howard college has strong combi- the Baron understudies plenty of ac- tion. The Standard Oil nine have ,al- ready displayed their strength. in practice games this year, and willsbe one of the hardest of the trio of teams that the yannigans will meet. 1nglenook has a fast bunch that made a good record in City league ball last year.
 Elem Walker and Jefferies Lee, pitchers. have been released by the Barons. Heads will begin falling after the Barons return from the road tsip, and much will depend on the showing the candidates make on the trip.
