Gilmour Dobie, the silent coach"

the students of that institution
that their team is liable to be hurt

now he can write his check for
$2SO,O00. Pshaw! That's bum
dope to peddle. What do the most
of us care how Tommy got his
money? What we want to know is
how we can get ours.

Big Growth of Cement Industry.

New York, Dec. lathe growth of
the cement industry in the United
States and the wide variety of pur-
poses for which cement products are
now used are comprehensively illus
trated in the big Cement Show which
opened in Madison Square Garden to-
day. The show is given under the
auspices of the American Association
of Portland Cement Manufacturers,
whose annual convention is now in
session here. The exhibit that at
tracted most attention from the
crowd that attended the opening this
afternoon was the famed Edison
poured cement house, commodious
one-family structure of eight rooms,
which the inventor claims can be
built at cost of $1,000 The outside
and interior walls, the roof, floors,
stairs and all of the exterior ornamen-
tation are of reinforced concrete.
The exhibit was set up under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Edison.

Some Cheer For Financial District
in the Improved Demand For

New York, Dec. 14.-Apart from
It's slightly better tone today's stock
market differed in no essential feat
ure from that of the preceding days.
Business was at much lower ebb
though displaying a broader tenden-
cy, which took in such specialties as
General Electric, Western Maryland

bulk of the trading was limited, as
usual. to less than half score of ac-

The financial district finds some
cheer in the better demand for bonds
and other high grade issues in an
ticipation of the large January inter

the increase is yet too small to make
a marked impression on this class
of securities.

Labor conditions came in for some

FOR FIRE PROTECTION
Suggestion That Hose Reel Be Placed
On Seminary Hill.

The fire alarm box at the head of
Charles street which was put out of
commission by the breaking of the
key the night of the Jurras house
fire, has been repaired again.
The city has hose reel at the old
Pitkin house on Franklin street and
it has been suggested that it might
be stationed on Seminary Hill for
use in that section. 1t is hard place
to get the hose carts to in the winter
and puts the department at a disad-
vantage. If reel were placed on the
Hill the students would doubtless be
willing to handle it and they could
do good work, especially if a few hand
extinguishers were also available.
Another need in this section is
larger mains feeding hydrants. The
hydrant used at the Sunday morning
fire was fed by four inch main,
which did not give enough pressure
to force out the ice in the pipes.
