Hatchet and Bricks
Figure in Battle

A battle in which hatchcr
figured and bricks flew started on
the east side early yesterday after
noon and passersby sent a call for
police. When Patrolmen Carter and
Moore arrived on the scene the
bricks had stopped soaring through
the air and the hatchet was not he
ing used but the air is said to have
been filled with plenty of profane
language. The Officers brought
Mike Diagomes, IL, q Greek, and
Arthur Wright, 25, a colored boz,
back to headquarters.
At headquarters it was explained
that the argument had been started
over a misunderstanding in a con
tract of some kind and when one
of them picked up a hatchet the
other is said to have begun fling
ing the bricks. They were released
under $50 bail, each TO answer to II
charge of disturbing the peace.

Street Improvements at
Reasonable Outlay

AS the tax bills climb and as
towns and cities wish streets
and other municipal improve
ments, the question becomes
constantly more pressing of
how to secure these improve
ments and stay within reasonable
expenditure budgets.
From the standpoint of stree
is, Vacaville, California, has
been squeezing the most out of
it's tax dollars. Old macadem
road bases, already well compac-
Ted by traffic, were corrected to
grade with leveling course of
|asphaltic concrete and finished
with a relatively thin grade as
|phaltic conctete surface course.
This practice saved the cost of
tearing up the old pavements
and also the cost of an entirely
new base course. By following
economical paving practices,
Vacaville has developed at a re-
Iatively low cost an excellent
system of streets which has re-
quired very little maintenance.
In the strugglefor tax eco
nomy, one community can pro-
fit by the satisfactory eexper-
fence of other communities.

A Wonderful Record

During the first six months
of 1927, the American railroads
killed only two passengers; last
year there were % fatalities,
and 1925 had So. The number
injured is far larger, of course,
counting every injury from torn
trousers to broken bones; but
even all these totaled only 776.
The use of all steel cars, bet.
ter safety signals, the best rail
and wheel equipment that scie-
nee can devise, all contribute to
travelling safety. The railroads
today are better and safer than
ever before in history.

NOT so GOOD

In Paris the federal employees
listen in on private phone con-
versations-not to be snoopy or
prying, but to see whether the
phones are working; with the
presumption that the system is
not SO inefficient that they are
probably not in order.
But this habit of espionage and
paternalism fits in with the
public ownership idea-what is
everybody's business is nobodys
business, and what is nobody's
business excessively is everybody
s business if he wants to horn
in.
The oficious officers, now
hardly know in America, would
become as common as the car
rion fly if conditions were made
right for his development under
LIBERALIZATION of industry.

Not what, but how.

Every once in while these
Gays one is reminded that in a
little while Christmas will! EG
here. Of course the merry seson
is still more than a month away,
Lut many children and grown up
have begun to make their plans.
To do the kind Of things that
old Kriskringle does takes a lot
of planning if is to he done well;
in manner of speaking you
have to get ready for it. Not
that this planning is ever hard
W. FIX, even if you go at it with
all your might; because as every
boy and girl knows when you do
any thing to make anyone else
happy, it is never hard work,
and the more patience and skill
you have to employ in doing it,
the more fun it is.
If you were to ask him face to
face, Santa Claus would tell you
that lot of people miss half
the fun of Christmas because
they forget that it is not what
is oiven that counts but how
they are given. He would tell
you that what thing costs, or
how much it shines, has moth
mig to do with it. What really
counts is the effection, kind
ness and Well-wishing you put
into it. It's what you are not
what the gift is is what counts.
That is why Christmas is
such wonderful season; and
that is why most people who
like Santa Claus and Christmas
try to plan and get ready. for
this great day, so that they
may have most of themselves to
give when the day comes.
Santa Claus never yet waited
to the last minute and then Sou
rried around and wondered
what he would do about this
and about that. You can guess
from the stories they tell about
him, and from the way he looks
that he is the kind who does
these things when they ought
to be done-quite a while be-
fore the last minute. And in
these things it is we'll to follow
Santa's example.

BROTHERS UNDER THE
SKIN.

The public service corporat-
ions and the daily and weekly
newspapers are brothers under
the skin, both being public util-
tiles serving the American peo-
pie with an essential service at
a remarkably low cost, due to
quantity production.
Of the two it would be impos-
sible to say which is the most
essential. The newspapers and
the major utilities-light, gas,
power, telephone and street rail
ways, probably serve about the
same number of customers.
1t would be monumental
catastrphe if either the utilities
or the newspapers should dis
continue service for a single
day. Both are a vital part of
modern life. In one year utilit-
les spent approximately $685.
100000 for advertising, of WIFI
CHI 63 per cent was used in news
papers.

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

Automobile and other accid-
ents have become so numerous
in many cities that campaigns
have been commenced to teach
the public, pedestrians as we'll
as drivers of vehicles, the wis
dom of exercising care on the
public streets.
Investigation of accidents on
the streets have developed that
a large per cent of them is av-
oidable' that they are the result
OF carelessness on the part of
the driver of the vehicle or the
p destrian who is the worst suf-
ferer when a collision occurs.
Men and women rush across
the streets or between street
cars and vhicles, apparently
without any thought of the dan
gers they face in doing so.
Many persons can be seen leav-
a street car at the rear door and
crossing the steet behind the
ear, thereby running the risk of
eng struck by passing car on
the "blind" side.
Automobile drivers are not
blameless in the matter. Many
|of them take chances in rush
ing across a street ahead of a
street car or another automobile
all for the evident purpose of
saving few seconds, as if the
saving of time justified them in
running the risk of being
struck.
The drivers of vehicles are bl,
AIMED for many more accidents
than should be charged to them
Pedestrians have a responsible
lty which they should not atte-
npt to evade. 1t is much east r
for the individual to wait a few
seconds than it is for the driver
OF an automobile to stop to pre-
vent striking a person who has
.ushed into the middle of the
street in thoughtless haste.
" ry person, driver or pedest-
rian who uses the atreets has
it in his power to aid in making
he streets safe for all.
