A large nightingale" fire
whistle, eight inches in diameter,
and twenty-five inches in height
to be used only for giving alarm
of fire in the city was install
ed at the electric light plant Tues
day. The city council is now
hard at work, in distrioring off
the city of Plymouth, which is
expected to be completed within
one week, after which the COM
plete system of fire alarm in the
city will be changed. The old
system OF telephoning the tele-
phone exchange, giving the name
OF the building or IT'S occupant,
in which fire was raging, has
long been found lacking. The fire
at the Gas plant Sunday was
an example of the inefficiency OF
the present fire system in Ply
mouth. Hlthertofore, Central at
the telephone exchange gave no.
tice of fire TO the Water Works
plant. which blew the alarm. The
person who happened to be near
est the fire station, would ring
the bell. and automatically open
the doors TO the station. Then
would come a deiav in determin-
ing the location of the fire. Cen
trail would have to be called, the
name of the location learned, and
a description of its whereabouts
determined. Very often this was
misleading and the fire depart
ment would encircle many blocks
before finally reaching the fire.
Sunday the central told chief
Kuhn. that the fire was at the
Gas Office. opposite the Lake Erie
Depot. The chief interpreted
telat to mean the elevator, which
had been purchased by a party
named Cast, and the department
travelled many blocks out of rts
way to the l.. f. and w. tracks
on Caro- street to learn that the
fire was ''at the Gas Plant" OPP
poSite the Lake Erie and West
ern tracks, many blocks farther
north. With the installation OF
the new system, this will be all
changed. There will be no more
mistakes. When the alarm is
blown, every person in town Will
know where the fire is, and there
will be no subsequent telephon-
ing or delay.
City to be Districted.
The city of Plymouth, will be
divided into 40 districts more or
less. In the central portion OF the
city. one square block, consisting
of four sides will constitute one
district. These districts will be
numbered, and when fire breaks
out, the person who gives the
alarm must also give the numbei
OF the district. Central will then
ring a special fire alarm in the
electric light plant, and give the
number of the district in wlilch
the fire is. The alarm of the hre
will then be given, by a long
weird blast of the great nig'rtinl,
gale whistle. This whistle VIII
then follow with the number OF
the district. In blowing the num-
Der, each long blast will represent
the number ten, and each snort
blast will be one. Thus, it the
fire is In district thirty-SlX LOT

Gated by Whistle.

instance the alarm, will be first
the fire alarm, then three long
blasts and six short blasts. Cen
trail will then verify the number
of the district, and will repeat
the number to The electric light
plant, when the number will be
repeated as verified, guaranteeing
its correctness.
Cards Will be Posted.
AS soon as the city is districted
off cards will be printed, show
ing every fire district in the city.
One of these cards will be posted
near each telephone in Plymouth.
The commissioner of streets of
the city, will have charge of the
posting of these cards. Each, card
when posted will be marked by
the commissioner. showing in
what district that phone IS locat-
ed. In case of fire, a glance at
the card will show in what dis
trict the fire is located, and the
giving of the alarm can be exc
cuted instantly.
Great Advantage.
As stated above, the central
portion of the city will consist
of one square block to the dis
trict. Each OF the factories, as
the Basket Factory. Novelty
Works, Abrasive Works ETC., viii!
also constitute district. In the
outlying residence districts, a
larger area will constitute dis
trict, in order to limit the num-
bers from becoming too great.
The first district will consist of
the first block north of the bridge
on Michigan street, extending
from the bridge to the corner of
Laporte street, including the
south side of Laporse street west
to Center street, thence south to
the river, thence back to the
starting point along the river.
The second district will be the
square block on the other side of
the street, beginning at the river
bridge on Michigan street, thence
north to Laporte, thence east to
the first street which is followed
south to- the river. The numbers
will proceed north to the end of
the city limits on Michigan street
the even numbers being on the
east side of Michigan street, and
the odd numbers on the west
side. This is an illustration of the
system, which when completed
will be published in full in this
paper.
One great advantage OF the
alarm system, besides accuracy,
is that when the district IS
known. the fire department Will
know just what equipment TO
take along. Often it is unneces-
sary to take out the entire de-
partment. Thus if the fire is down
town, in a factory, elevator, or
other important building, where
there are possibilities of a large
fire, all of the equipment, includ-
ing the longest ladders will be
taken. On the other hand, If the
fire is in residence district, the
large ladders would not be need
ed at all, and this equipment,
which is exceedingly heavy, could
be left at the fire engine house.

Would Change Old Party Names.

IF we could abolish and forget the
names Republican and Democrat
there would be sweeping change in
political conditions in this country"
remarked Congressman Burleson Of
Texas. IF we could supplant these
designations with the names Liberal
and Conservative which would rep
resent existing conditions, there would
be two useful parties and men could
shift from one to the other as he
favored a liberal, progressive policy,
or a more conservative policy. If
those names could be changed there
would be such new alignment that
would make a most sweeping change
in our political affiliations. There are
men calling themselves Republicans
now who have no place in that party
and the same is true Of many Demo
Gratis. The great trouble now in poll
tics is that men are divided by names
when their thoughts and feelings run
in different grooves. It would be bet
ter for the country If we could have a
party of conservatism and a party of
liberal or progressive tendencies. Such
party organizations would be more
likely to keep an even balance be-
cause there would be times of progress
sive or liberal sentiment in the coun-
try and at other times the conserva-
tive sentiment would prevail"

One medicine will not cure every
kind of sickness, because different
medicines act on different portions OF
the body.
The troubles of most women, who
are delicate, arise from simple lack OF
strength. The most obvious way to
help them is to give them a remedy
which will bring them the particular
strength they lack.
Cardui's success, In benefting and
curing sick and ailing women, is due
to the fact that it gives women
strength, where they most need it.
Being composed exclusively of vege-
table ingredients, which act gently
and sympathetically upon special

Fifty years of success prove that

Children,

Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
There Is nothing in all the world
so important as children, nothing SO
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, If you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, do something for children. If
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
that we can save a child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter-
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out our races salvation, it will be be-
cause a little child has led them

WHEN BAILEY ROLLS ALDRICH
Fun to Watch the Republican and
Democratic Leaders In Senate
Clashes.

IT'S fun to watch Senators Aldrich
and Bailey clash. Recently Bailey
was lambasting the railroad bill, when
the Cummins amendment was before
the senate. Bailey was talking about
schedules, when Aldrich interpolated a
remark about rates direct. He made
the assertion in his quiet voice, with
out gesture, that it didn't make any
difference whether the railroads had
an understanding when they filed their
rates with the interstate commerce
commission. The remark did not seem
to a disinterested observer hardly to
be I'D to the Aldrich standard of
astuteness, and Bailey almost chortled
in glee.
"Does the senator mean to say" he
demanded, chat it makes no differ
ence whether the roads file their rates
in competition or whether they do
not?'

PROBE FOR THIRD DEGREE"
Senate Committee Starts an Investi-
cation of Police Methods In
Getting Confessions.

Investigation into the methods OF
the police of Chicago and other large
cities, organization of their bluecoated
forces, exercise of the third degree"
and the character of the benevolent
protection societies the police have
formed, has been started by a special
committee of the United States senate
in Washington.
The committee, headed by Senator
Curtis of Kansas, is designated to act
under the Hepburn resolution recently
passed. Letters denouncing the police
methods in using the third degree"
upon suspects who cannot be moved
to confession or disclosures of facts by
the usual means have come to Chair
man Curtis from many cities. News
paper criticism of the extreme phases
of the third degree have been show
cred upon the committee in the form
of clippings.
No inquiry recently attempted by
the committee has aroused more COM
ment. 1t is evident from the commune
cations received that there is a gen.
eral demand for publicity upon police
methods to determine to what extent
force and extreme phases of punish
ment are used in the apprehension of
criminals or the forcing of witnesses
to testify.
The investigation will not stop at
the securing of some details of third
degree" methods. The material now
in the hands Of members of the COM
mittee is of SO significant a character
that it is impossible at the present
time to place limit upon the commit
tees activities.
1t is expected that before the tnves-
tigation is closed elaborate inquiries
will have been made into the organiza-
ton of the police forces of the large
cities and the real purpose of their
beneficial societies and comparative
facts prepared which will be urged
upon state legislatures as the basis for
new and uniform laws to govern police
methods.
