would be interested If their attention

VOLUNTEER. FIREMEN.

Three volunteer firemen, all Of them
prominent business men of Ithaca,
New York, are dead as a result Of
their efforts to save the burning Chi

these men, four students lost their
lives. The heroism of those volun-

Out in the cold night, time after

to fight against flames that threatened
destruction to whole blocks of the
business portion of the city. Only
last week a case of this sort occurred.
The keen north wind came down with
biting force and drove the chill
through and through the firemen who
had responded in the early morning
hours to that alarm. Water from
three streams of hose soon sprayed
over all of the fire fighters and still

it were a football signal, and fought
against those flames just as courage
ously as though they had been an OPP

Here 1t was that the manhood and
iron nerve and unselfishness wrought
out in football training, made itself
apparent to good advantage. Here ii

INSANE HOSPITAL NEEDS.


The report made by DR.. Young. SUI
perintendent at the Nebraska state
hospital for the insane, shows that the
institution Is very much over crowded
and that more room Is needed as a
matter OF economy on the part Of the
state. Nebraska owns the institution
and will take care of 1t In the most
economical way. For this reason 1t
is believed that the coming legislature
will be glad to make an appropriation
of at least 100000, asked for by DR..
Young, for repairs and added build
ings.
1t Is said that the death rate has
been high because of the cramped con-
dition. Every family who has an I'M
fortunate kin in the institution will
be anxious for the added room and
will help toward gaining that added
room by bringing to the notice of va
rious state senators and representa-
tives, the pressing need.
1t has been said that, from the con-
stantly increasing number of patients
for insane hospitals in Nebraska, the
Norfolk institution will require addi-
tional room every year for ten years
to come, before the demand for room
is properly filled.
