NOMADIG JITNEY IS
NOT TO BE ENDURED
Commissioner Daly -Plans to
Require Franchises That
i Only Companies Will Get. '
MORE SERVICE DEMANDED
Independent Jltneur Who Works as
He Feels Like It Will" Not Be
Allowed "on Streets Cars
May Go to Suburbs.
Experience having proved that it is
Impossible to get any dependable serv
ice out of jitneys by permitting thera
to operate indiscriminately as they .are
under the city's present jitney regula
tion ordinance. City Commissioner Daly
announced yesterday that he is working
out plans -whereby the Jitney interests
will be required to obtain franchises
and operate on that basis alone.
It is planned to exclude jitneys from
operating except as units of a company
or a series of companies pledged to give
a certain fixed service. The franchises,
according to tentative plans, will be for
the various jitney routes. A set of re
liable persons will obtain the franchise
for a certain route and will handle all
the jitneys on. that route. They will be
required to keep up a dependable sched
ule of service on that route and will
subject their franchise and their busi
ness to a forfeiture if they fail to give
the service.
Jitney Men Agrfe to Plan.
Commissioner Daly said yesterday
that he has talked with some of the
leaders in the jitney movement and
they have agreed with him that this is
the only way to handle the -proposition.
To attempt to regulate 200 or 300 jit
Jieyc operating independently is Almost
an impossible task, he says.
Of the jitneys now operating it Is
said that less than 20 per cent are com
plying with the jitney ordinance re
garding service. Tab kept on licensed
jitneys shows that they operate Just
about as they please in spite of the
fact that the Council passed an iron
clad ordinance some time ago requiring
service. It has been found that some
jitney drivers desert their routes for
days at a time, returning only when
their regular business is quiet.
Only Few Are Complying.
Also it is the common complaint that
the Jitney does not give a dependable
service on any route except during the
hours when the profits are apparent!
A few of the drivers are complying
with the ordinance requiring them to
operate continuouely for at least eight
hours in each day.
It is possible also that some attempt
will be made in the ordinance to be
prepared by Mr. Daly to force the Jit
neys to extend their routes to districts
not now served. As it is now they are
operating within the, bounds of the city
where they can operate. with a profit
leaving the unprofitable business to
the streetcar company and taking from
the streetcar company the part of the
business that makes operation of its
city-wide system possible.
TWO MISSING ARE SOUGHT

Luther Ringland.

Bring Too Kind.
"I wasn't allowed to go into my own
kitchen," the woman at the club was
saying with emphasis.
'What was the matter?" laughed
friend. "Had you installed a chef?"
"No," replied the woman grimly. "My
sister-in-law had come to see me.
"Oh!" sympathized the friend.
'You may well say It," sniffed the
other. "I wasn't feeling very well, and
Inadvertently mentioned it in a letter
to May. May is a dear, good soul, but
sfie can be too kind. She took the next
train and arrived bubbling over with
the desire to help. One might think
was hovering on the edge of the
grave. It would have been nice to
have- her help about some things. But
she would not let me do a thing."
'Ik "have suffered the same way.
sighed the friend. '
If i d say l must make some may
onnaise, she'd Jump, up and insist. 'You
sit right still. I'll make it.' And John
wbuldn't touch what she made. And If
I forgot and said I wanted to make
cake, up she flew again and was out
In the kitchen putting a cake together
that none of us liked. And ir I Insisted
I could do it, she would fuss and push
me down in my chair and go on so,
that 1 had to give in or be all worn
out. fene nearly worried me Into a
real spell of sickness."
May has a good many counterparts,
nasn't she? We may be like her our
selves. In our great desire to help
friend, we may entirely overdo and
be more of a burden than we are a
help. . .
May was entirely taken up with her
own" wish to be of use. Her mind was
so filled with this idea that there was
no room for any other to -find lodg
ment. Therefore she was obtuse to
the distress signals In her friend's
face and manner. She -was obsessed
with the one thought, the thought of
sen and - what she wanted to d
actuated by kindness to be sure ;but
none . the less possessing her fully
and' making her incapable of sensing
anything outside of it. She did not
think "it was self. She thought hT
was being unselfish. ' But it was what
she wanted to-do, not what her friend
wanted done, that she carried out.
In ' our desire to help, if we would
consider the other's needs and wishes,
and vlew lrom their angle .what we
want to do. to see how it- may appear
to them, we might really help more.
The way, some of us have of plung
ing into another's life, or home, and
sweeping everything before . our will
and doing things the way we think
they ought to be managed, often only
brings .destruction. ' A discriminating
eye for what the other wants and
willingness to submit our wishes to
them is the truest help. We may be
of real service to them if we will, carry
out plans they want executed, bu
which they are unable to handle. Bu
if we sweep their wishes aside and in
sist upon having our own way, we are
often only an annoyance. Ve are apt
to bring things to the same state as
this woman described to her friend.
when she concluded, "After May left,
I couldn't find a thing. My towel
were all in the wrongplaces. The
cooking things were not where I keep
them, and by the time I got over th
effect of her insisting upon my not
doing anything and the work o

Benny Dog Hai the Toothache.
B1
ENNIE DOG had the toothache all
one night, and in the morning his
mother said: "You better go to the
barn and. ask Mr. .horse or Mr. Donkey
If they cannot help you."
Sc Bennie Dog trotted off to Mr.
Man's barnyard and told Mr. Horse that
his tooth- had ached all night and he
wanted it cured.
You will have to have It taken out,"
Baia Mr. Horse, and that is a very
painful operation, 1 can tell you, for 1
remember that my father had a tooth
ache once and a man came and took it
out with a pair of tongs.
Oh! it won't hurt you much," said
Mr. Donkey, who was standing near
and had his ears pricked up to catch
anything that was being said. "I know
all about drawing teeth, Bennie Dog,
and if you would like to have me I will
take that tooth out In a Jiffy and you
will never have the toothache again."
Bennie Dog thought a minute, and
then he said: "Why, it does not achn
bit now. I guess I will wait until it
begins to ache before I have you take
It out, Mr. Donkey. Thank you so
much."
Bennie Dog ran out of the barn anil
down the road, but Just before h
reached his house the tooth gave a
terrible Jump. It felt like a leap to
Bennie Dog; and then it began to ache
again. Oh! how it did ache. .
Bennie Dog felt very brave then; he
didn't care what happened so that ho
was rid of that tooth, so he turned
right around and ran as fast as he could
for the barn.
'Oh! Mr. Donkey, I'll have you take
this tooth out," he said, holding his
paws over the place that ached.
Bennie Dog Jumped on one foot anil
then on the other while Mr. Donkey,
was getting ready, so he didn't see
what Mr. Donkey was to draw the
tooth with until he was right in front
of him.
Bennie Dog gave one Took at the
long tongs Mr. Donkey had, and then
he knew he didn't have'a toothache at
all. and before Mr. Donkey realized
what had happened Bennie Dog was
running down the road with his tail
between his legs faster than he had
ever run before in all his life.-
The 'tooth did not ache at all that
day, but In the night it began, again.
and the next morning Bennie- Dog had
very fat-looking face on one side.
He sat on the steps of his house feel
ing very unhappy and trying to make
up his mtnd to go back to Mr. Donkey,
but every time he thought he would
go that dreadful pair of tongs gave
him a fright.
Hello, Bennie Dog!" said TQmmie
Cat, "what Is the matter with your
face? Have you got the mumps?"
"No; I have a toothache," said Ben
nie Dog, very sad. -
Why don't you have It out?" asked
Tommie Cat.
"1 did go to Mr. Donkey." said Ben
nie Dog.-'but it didn't ache when he
was , ready to take it q,ut, so I came
home.'.'. ''
"Oh! that Is always the way with a
tooth that aches, it always stops when
you get ready to have it drawn out,
but I know a better way than that,
and you can do it yourself, too."
"What 13 it? Does hurt?"' asked
Bennie Dog. . ' ,
"Oh! no; it does not hurt much,"
said Tommie Cat. "You get a stone
an; tie a string to it, and then tie the
other end of the string to your tooth
and drop the stone!"
"What happens then?" asked Bennie
Dog. thinking that sounded easy. '
"Why, your tooth comes out when
you 'drop the stone," said Tommie Cat.
' After Tommie Cat had gone Bennie
Dog began to think that would not be
very hard or hurt very much Just to
drop the stone and out would come
the tooth, bo he got a stone and tied
a string around it and then tied it to
his aching tooth. Tommie Cat did not
tell him the string must be short, and
Bennie Dog -had -the string so long,
that when he dropped the stone it did
not take the tooth out,
"I guess I did not do that right,"
said Bennie Dog trying it again, but
it did not take out the tooth that time,
either.
Bennie picked up the stone with the
string still tied to his tooth, and went
up the etep's to go Into the house to

ask his mother if she knew how a
tooth could be taken out by dropping
a stone.
Just as Bennie Dog reached the top
step he stumbled and dropped the
stone and it railed of f the step.
"Oh!" said Bennie Dog as something
Jerked and hurt; He jumped up and
looked at the stone lying on the ground,
and there was something tiny and
white oh the other end of the string.
Bennie Dog ran down the steps' and
looked at it, and then he felt for the
tooth that had ached, and It was gone.

WARRINER TRIAL IS SET
SECOXD DEMURRER IN HIGHWAY
ACCIDENT CASE-OVERRULED.
This Is Reported Flrat Time on Record
Where Motor Has Been Classed
as Dangerou Weauon.
y
A f t r overruling the demurrer to the
second indictment of C. A. Warriner,
who is charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon as a result of hav
ing run down Mrs. Henry Beckman
with his automobile on the Columbia
River Highway April 9, Circuit Judge
Morrow announced yesterday that the
case would come up for trial next Fri
day. ;
The demurrer to the second indict
ment, which was filed by John
Logan, attorney for the defense,-Thursday,
charged that the indictment failed
to set forth sufficient facts to explain
how an automobile could be construed
as being a dangerous weapon. Deputy
District Attorney Hindman represented
the state in the argument.
The demurrer to the first Indictment
was sustained by Judge Morrow on the
ground that the Indictment failed to
set "forth sufficient facts. - The case
was immediately referred to the grand
Jury and a second indictment with more
specific language was returned. -
At the time the Judge sustained the
first demurrer he announced that in
his opinion, an automobile might under
certain circumstances be considered as
a dangerous weapon.
This is said to be the first case in
the United States in which a man is
said to have been charged .with "being
armed with a dangerous weapon, towit:
an automobile." There have been sev
eral cases in which automobilists have
been sharped with assault and battery
as a result of an accident.
