BLUE MONDAY.

When you wake up feeling grouchy
 And you murmur, Whats the use?" And you get so blamed discouraged
 That the flimsest excuse Would be strong enough to keep you From the work you ought to do, Though the sun is shining brightly
 And the sky is fair and blue When you've lost your grip completely And your heart is all forlorn, It's a cinch that you're confronted
 By another Monday morn. Other days may bring their troubles, Other days may seem a drag, When the fires begin to flicker
 And your best endeavors flag; Other mornings may be gloomy,
 Other mornings may be dark, But for down-and-out conditions
 Which have often caused remark, And a surpusage of sorrow
 That the bravest dare not scorn, There's no day or dawning equal
 On this earth to Monday morn!

Police Force to be Attifcu Like
The BIuecoats in New York,
Says Mayor.
THE MEN ASSEMBLED
Told to Peport for Duty April |
and Advised to Pay Strict
Attention.

Mayor Bollschwefler made the an
nouncement yesterday afternoon at
gathering of the newly-appointed
patrolmen, that after April l, patrol
men will wear the Bingham police
cap. instead Of the regulation helmet.
They will also wear the regulation
police belt, in which clubs will be
carried.
The rule will be enforced for the
months Of April and May, until the
summer change takes effect, when
the men will don gray helmets. The
plan Is to make the local men look
as much like New Workers as pos
sible.
Yesterday City Clerk La Roe sent
notices to all of the newly-appointed
policemen that the mayor wanted to
see them at city hall at s o'clock,
and they were all on hand. Shortly
after the appointed hour the mayor
arrived and injecting was held In the
patrolmen's room at police headquar-
ters. After shaking hands with all
of the new policemen Mayor Boil
schweiler announced that he had call
ed the meeting for the purpose of
giving them some good advice. He
told them that they were appointed
to protect the interests of the people
of this city, that they were to be
paid by the taxpayers, and the citi-
zens looked to them to do their duty.
Policemen" said the mayor, ARE
paid to watch things and not to- be
attending balls and parties or to be
drinking while on duty" He spoke
of the fact that the force was small
and that 1t was shame for a man
to leave his post, especially when so
many robberies we're being commit
ted.
The men were instructed to pur-
chase new uniforms from either
Louis BRIGGS or Cannon & Sheehy.
The mayor said the reasons for this
was that they would be of the regu-
lation style. After little more good
advice the appointees were told to
report for duty April /.

WHOLE TOWN
IN MOURNING
I62 Bodies Taken From Ruins
Of Burned School Building
in Cleveland Suburb.
MANY STORIES ARE TOLD

Special BY United Press Wire:
CLEVELAND, O., Mar. 6:-One
hundred and sixty-two bodies had
been recovered. from the ruins of the
school house at North Collinwood
up to noon today. This accounts for
all the missing, according to City
Engineer Gould, who is In charge of
the search. To assist in the work OF
burying the dead the local Board of
Trade has appropriated $4,000 and
the town council has appropriated an
additional $4,000.
Additional grief came today with
the announcement that several
mothers of the children who perished
have lost their reason.
The probability is public funeral
will be held tomorrow. All business
Is suspended and many store win
dows are hung with crepe and flags
are at half mast.
Realization of the awful catas-
trophe came today with the plain,
heart-rending little stories that
passed from man to man on the
streets and from one home to an
other. The silence of death lies up
on the town.
One story is that an unknown
little girl among the many heaped
up against the closed rear door, with
the flames at her back, pressed her
face against the crack of the door
and pleaded: mister, help me out" ("
William Davis threw his weight
against the door. Something fell on
his head and stunned him. Before
others could reach the child, she had
fallen back among the dead.
At almost every house along the
streets white ribbons fioated from
the door knobs. At one house three
bows marked the number of dead.
There was no school in Collins
wood today. At the regular hour the
children came out and fascination
drew them to the ruins where their
playmates had perished.
