Nov. 8. Bessie Voenna, '22 years old, and Violet Harrlman, 18, who told the police that after leaving their homes i In Long; Beach several weeks ago they beat their way to San Francisco and back to this city, were arrested in a downtown department store after stealing a number of silk skirts from the counters. The two girls made a confession to the police and stated that they needed, the clothing, to get employment.

One thousand invitations were sent to Mare Island this morning by the Welcome Honie Celebration Committee to be distributed' among 'the enlisted men who are World War veterans, and the sailors and marines will be among those who will attend the big barbecue, dance and entertainment to be featured here next Tuesday.

Vice Admiral S. C. Williams, Colonel Lincoln Karmany, Captain Hugo Osterhaus and Surgeon A.

The growth of oaks is said to have been similarly dense all over the place, though it la hard to believe. Dusinbury had some eight acres of land in the old home place, and tells how when a young man the late Judge Frank B. Ogden used to shoot quail and squirrel there. The forests of oaks used to attract the people of San Francisco over to this side for picnics and the road did a great business on Sundays. The picnickers paid 60 cents fare across, which iinformation indicates that In respect to fares the charge Is merely reverting to the status quo.

FREE ROAP TROUBLES. There was a long period when the Seventh street line was a free road, so far aa way fares were concerned, within the city limits. The charter ttrtr some twist prevented the collection of fares between stations. The far was trivial, only 10 cents between any two stations, The company tried to collect It In spite of the charter, and Dusinbury says It waa the sourcw of his chief trouble. If the panRenger got too sassy he was put oft, but If he merely sat down, occupying the seat of a real pay passenger, he was allowed to ride to his destination.

The1 situation continued for several years, and in order to keep the dead heads off, the company put on gates. The high prices prevailed on the line and across the bay until our own John L.
