hunted look. He whispered to a male
friend that things were not running along
as smoothly aa he wished, because Of the
desire Of each Of the members to have the
street in front Of her home graded and
paved first. They also insisted upon cleo
trio lights.
Then they got to passing laws as to the
government. They wanted tea served at all
official meetings. They thought it would be
. nice thing to have every other lot small
park. They refused permit to box fac
tory because Of its noise. Each wanted the
trolley road to run on the street right back
Of her house and to forever exempt her own
street.
They split up into factions. until Mayor
ess Ziegler nearly had nervous prostration
trying to keep them down to business.
Committees would meet when the hours did
not suit them. The Committee on Streets
and Highways declared that II the citizens

moved away because Of an ordinance re-

she had several Of her own ideas crystal

SIMPLY A QUESTION OF FRACTIONS.

How much greater than three-fourths II
four-fourths7
This Is not Joke; 1t is 4 very serious
problem.
"oh. that's easy" some men said. But 1t
IL not easy.
An army officer decided that four-fourths

and now he will have to fight with pistols
ut thirty PAGES to prove it.
In the belief that the best practical matn-
eYnaticians are found in business life, a re-
porter went to the head center, the clear
ing-house, to put a stop to the argument. 4
An official answered at once. Why Of
course four-fourths Is one-third greater
than three-fourths." $50. s.--.t - ),
He adds columns of six figures as readily
as he adds columns of one figure, and ne
ought to know what he Is talking about.
This is the way he proves that four-1ourths
Is one-third larger than three-fourths:
4-4ths minus 3-4ths equals 1-4th. -
8-4ths divided by 1-4th equals 3.
/. t-4th is. therefore, Is of 3-Aths.
4-4ths is 1-3d greater than 3-4ths Q. e. D.
Proof: 3-4ths plus 11-3d Of 3-4ths) equals
4-4ths.
That, ought to make It perfectly plain to
everybody that four-fourths is 2ne-third
greater than three-fourths.

Z The second figures were submitted TO
the first expert, who. said he could see
readily enough how the others mistake
had been made.
A banker proved that four-fourths was
one-fourth greater than three-fourths by
simple subtraction, thus:
