Additional Fire Protection.

The city has completed the lay
ing of the water pipe connecting
the water plant with the pond at
Park Lake. The laying of this
additional main grew out of the
necessity of the city to furnish
additional fire protection and to
provide water for condensing the
engines. This latter demand
calls for about 300 gallons of
water per minute and upon inves-
tigation it was found that the
water could be brought from
Park Lake at a less cost than the
boring of another well at the
water plant. The use of Park
Lake water for condensing leaves
the supply of water at the plant
in sufficient quantity and in case
OF fire the extra main could be
brought into recognition if nee
essary. A sewer pipe has been
laid through which all of this
water will flow back to Park
Lake after it has been used.

STREETS ALL TOO MARROW

When shall we get down to a sensi-

lines OF trees and have real parkways

towns and villages thickly planted to
tall, strfct-growing trees, afford one
no broader views than obtainable In

LIFE.

Man comes into this world
without his consent and leaves it
against his will. During his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continuous round of contraries
and MISUNDERSTANDING. In his
In his infancy he is an angel; in
his boyhood he is a devil; in his
manhood he is everything from
lizard up. In his duties he is
fool. If he raises family he is
careless. If he raises a check he
is thief, and then the law raises
cain with him. If he is a poor
man he is a poor manager and
has no sense; if he is rich he is
dishonest, but considered smart.
If he is in politics he is a CRATER
and crooked; if he is out of poll
tics you can't place him and he is
an undesirable citizen" If he
goes to church he is hypocrite;
if he stays away from church he
is a sinner. If he donates to for
eign missions he does it for show;
if he doesn't, he is stingy and a
tight wad. When he first comes
into this world everybody wants
to kiss him; before he goes out
everybody wants to kick him. If
he dies young there was grand
future before him; if he lives to
a ripe old age, he is in the way,
only living to save funeral expen-
SEES. Life is a funny proposition,
after all. HUGH F. WEBB.

MAY NOT Be HEARD THERE
Rumored That Appalachians May
Go OCT of Southeaster League
and Give Up Franchise

Knoxville, Jan. 1T is ru-
mored that the Appalachian Base
ball Association, which maintain
ed a team in the Southeastern
League last year, may not contin-
lie its team this year, and may
sever its connection with the
league. 1t had been anticipated
that the Appalachians, pennaut
winners in the Southeastern
League last season, would start
out with a winning team in the
season of 1911, and the manage
ment had taken up negotiations
with a number of star players,
looking to their retention on the
team of this year. However, it
is stated that matters have devel-
oped which threaten the continu-
ance of organized baseball here
this year.
A definite decision as to the
baseball season will be reached
at an early date, but it is asserted
as positive fact that there is
now grave danger of Knoxville
having no baseball this season.

LETTER as" DESTROYER
OF FEMALE LONELINESS

New York, Jan. 18.-The Wo-
mans Professional league, New
York society of business women, has
decided that if all the SIS" in the
English language were rs" then
every woman's throat would be a
perfectly smooth, round and slender
column. 1t is the IS" member OF
the alphabet which causes a Kissing
sound that works havoc with fair
threats, they say. The statement
follows
Every time one pronounces the
letter the muscles of the neck
are drawn and wrinkles come.
More necks are spoiled by this sim
gle crooked Kissing letter than by
any amount of dissipation and
neglect. Women should avoid it all
they can by using D. thus making
the hollows in the neck fill out,
wrinkles disappear and throat round
out and become smooth and beauti-
full.

Morristown, Jan. I8.-An effort

services of one of the best baseball
managers in the south to manage

have been in progress for several
days and it is practically certain that
the contract will be closed at an
early date. Several of the members

that the coming season will afford

COMPLETE RECOVERY
FROM BROKEN NECK

New Orleans, Jan. I8.-One of
the most remarkable cases on record
of recovery from broken neck was
annou need complete at the Charity
hospital here Yesterday when plas-
ter cast was removed from the neck
of Philip Hoffman, boy IA years
old and an X-Ray photograph
showed the vertebrae to have per-
fectly knitted.
Last summer the boy, after wit
Messing circus, attempted to turn a
backward somersault, as he had
seen the acrobats do. He landed on
his neck, breaking the second and
third cervical vertebrae.
A plaster cast was placed apout
the neck after the vertebrae had
been set and the lad has been
guarded every minute since to pre-
vent him breaking the cast. When
it was taken off yesterday and the
photograph made showing the YER
tebrae to have knitted, young Hoff-
man was permitted to turn his head
and nod. He suffered no pain and
is, apparently, as sound and we'll as
before the accident.

IS FIGHTING D|SBARWENT
In Consultation Yesterday With
Jerome Tcmpleton But Would
Not Admit After Injunction

Knoxville, Jan. NV. R.
Page, a prominent attorney of
Bristol, is in the city today, He
arrived here this morning, and
soon was in conference with
Jerome Templeton, a leading
local attorney.
Mr.. Page was made the de-
PENDANT in a rule issued by
Judge Dana Harmon at Bristol
on Monday, citing him to APP
pear on Wednesday and show
cause why he should not be dis
barred from the further prac-
tice of law. Mr.. Page was ask
ed for a statement concerning
the matter, but he declined to
discuss it.
1t was reported here this
morning that Mr.. Page would
present a bill in a local court,
seeking an injunction to inhibit
Judge Harmon from enforcing
the rule as made against him on
Monday. Mr.. Page was asked
concerning this report. but he
did not confirm or deny it. No
Injunction bill had been filed
here up to 3 o'clock.
The action of Judge Harmon
grew out of a paper which
Page filed in the chancery court
at Bristol in which he made
statements which it is claimed
Judge Harmon considers re-
fleets upon his own integrity as
a man and as judge. From
the bench Judge Harmon took
occasion to say that there was
not one word of truth in the
charges, at the same time is
suing rule against Page.
