The Pasadena, California girls refuse
to dance with the Japanese naval offi

ese admiral in high dudgeon sails away,
and all Japan resents the affront. The
Pasadena girls were within their rights
and they have the sympathy of Cali
fornia girls and the girlß of the United
States. But what about this Interna

and the Pacific coast ia clamoring?
TheßUpportof the exposition, if held

Orient. We all know the attitude of
San Francisco to the Orient. It very

Panama Oanal will be the capital of
the United States.

Proposition to Give Pennsylvania
a Good System of Roads.
In the last issue of the Pennsylvania
Good Roads Bulletin the following ar
ticle appeared regarding the building
of good roads in this State:
"The injustice of asking the town
ship to construct or assist in construc
tion of the main highways has long
boon recognized by every student of
the good roads problem. The mftin
roads are traveled by the citizens of
several townships and oft times by
those of the adjoining boroughs and
cities. We would cite many hundreds
of instances of main roads in Pennsyl
vania where the traffic over these
roads by the citizens of the township
in which t! <y lie does not equal one
tenth of l'i total traffic. Why should
that township be compelled to improve
and maintain that road for the benefit
of the other nine-tenths who use it?
The main roads are used by the citi
zens at large, and we hav>• maintained
for years past that they should be im
proved and maintained solely by the j
"citizens at large," i.e., the State.
The dwellers in the cities will obtain
direct bei:>-lit from good roads even if
they lie u.31) a ve .icU-, from the eco

FAMED EYE SLRGFON GOES TO PORTO
RICO.
Jhe Great Surgeon Will Demonstrate
in West Indian Islands.
Dr. L. Webster Fox, of Philadelphia,
the well-known eye surgeon left last
Thursday for Porto itico and vicinity
for a trip of four wet-few, to demon
strate some of his original operations.
'1 he Philadelphia Press, Friday last,
says of this wonderful surgeon:
At the present titne the Medico-Obi
rurgieal College is represented in Por
to Rii'.o hy it lari>o colony of physicians
siud dentists, who have been trying f< r
j several years to induce Dr. Fox to
i come there to lecture and demonstrate
along the linos of his practice. Three
years ago he promised he would grati
fy that wish, but later was compelled
to postpone the trip.
Ilia arrival in Porto Rico will be bail
ed with much enthn iasn, as tho
world's leading surgeons seldom reach
tho island to lecture, and besides,
many of th( physicians practicing
there received the major pari of their
training in esurgery under Dr. Fox's
direction at the college. A r rain moth
reception will he given him soqn alter
his arrival, and the lectures and de
monstrations will most likely follow at
special functions. He carried with
him many of his instruments, and may
mike -.(.me practical operati us in the
hospitals,
Dr. I' r. is accompanied hy Mrs. Fox
and th ir son, Lawrence. Both will
accompany him 011 all his travels in the
islands.
