never hears of are "side tracked on

for discouraging burglars, relates

81 want to get the idea patented" J"
he said, "and l haven't any money.
I'm willing to go halves with any man
that will give me the financial backing.
NV scheme is this You first make all
your doors and windows secure, so
they can't be opened at all from the
outside de-there are plenty of devices
for doing that nowadays-make all of
them tight and fast, except one.
Leave that one so it will open easily.
Then run a wire from that window to
the head of your bed, where you have
an alarm4bell. The burglar comes
along. tries the doors and windows,
and when he comes to that one he
raises it. The alarm goes off, and the
burglar hears it and fees, or it wakes
you up, and you are ready for him. IN
either case it aceomplishes your pur-
pose"
"But," said the capitalist, "if you can
make all the doors and windows fast
except one, why not make that one
secure, too, and thus keep the burglar
out entirely?"
81 never thought of thatl" replied

the most important transfers of property

mence the laying of mains and putting
in hydrants for fire protection as soon
as authorized to do so by the city council.
The company will commence at once to
