IN AN EXPLOSION
Brenneman is Burned While
Working at a Gas
Eegine.

SALEM, oct. .O.-J. A. Brenneman,
a well known machinist, was SER
iously burned by an explosion of gas
oline at the school building Wednes-
day afternoon. Mr.. Brenneman was
working with thu gas engine in the
basement of the building and was
pouring gasoline into the engine from
bottle when the fluid exploded
with the result that he was seriously
burned about the. face, chest, stomach

Strothe: where his burns were
dressed and everything possible done
to relieve the Inaddenfng pain, after
which he went to his home on East
Main street
The gas engine at the school house
has been source of almost constant
trouble and annoyance ever since
the heating plant was Installed. Mr.
Brenueman has been called numerous
times to start the engine when it
would stop and very often he has
had to work with the machinery fol-
hours at time before 1t would run.
Wednesday he was called there to
work with it and after several efforts
to make the engine run he decided ta
throw gasoline into 1t in order to
make an explosion on the inside Of
the engine and thereby start 1t run
ming. He had a bottle containing
about. a pint of gasoline which ex-
Dloled in his hand with the fearful
results stated.
HIS clothes being oily from work
ing about machinery they instantly
became ignited, which added to the
seriousness of his burns.
His condition is such that he viii
be confined to his home for many
days.

There is now in this city a Jewish
Literary Society, which has brought

bored to place it where it is; to the
people who compose the organization

great things, and today, the Society,"
by it's work, has become the possessor
of it's own building, it's home; an or
ganization that lifts the standard Of
our citizenship and strives for culture,
education and creating of ambition
among its people, an organization
knowing no distinction between ortho-
dox or reform, it needs the support Of
the entire Jewish community. 1t de-
serves this support and commands it.

that the building is now ready for

EDITORIAL All

The City of Houston has grown from
a small village unit today it stands
as the metropolis of Texas. Buildings
about which lowered memories dear to
the people for a long time withstood
the hand of progress History OF the
State is replete with incidents about
buildings and places in the city, which
will always be priced All of these have
witnessed the growth of Houston, and
one by one lave given way to progress
and development. No cry is raised as
the memories of the past are demolish-
ed, except the plaudlts of the pubic
as the workman removes the old relics
of an early day, because in their places
are to be erected buildings of magnifi-
cent dimensions, properly equipped anu
furnished and absolutely necessary to
keep pace with the growth of the city.
These builders are molding great
city which present day life and energy
demand.
Compared to these, we find charities
and charitable organizations in Hous-
ton, each with a glorious past, each
having served useful purposes and or
ganized in a day when the city was
small and there was a greater COM
munity of interest. The city's develop
ment and the constant influx of popu-

lation has destroyed these touching in
cidents; organizations of the past must
now yield to progress. No longer can
one say he knows all Of the people;
no longer can one tell of the incidents
which enter into the daily life of the
individuals no longer can one say he
is able to care for the great army of
Jewish population by the old methods;
these are all memories of glorious
past, held dear and precious; names of
men and women of the early days en-
ter into it's history and which will al
ways hold fitting place in the roll of
honor; but the organizations they
builded must now yield; age must give
way and there should be no feeling
that great sacrifice is made or is neces-
sary Concentration of energies means
greater work; uniting of charities
means that of all of the good people
of a community are united to do the
work and maintain an oroanjzatjOn
with sufficient power and strength to
meet any emergency The present day
organization does not disappear for
their work remains in the glory of the
future of the united organization, and
but adds lustre to the history of the
pioneers in the field of charity.
AS a united people we ask for a
united charity. The time is opportune
for splendid work and the year should
witness the successful operation of the
new organization. This applies not only
to Houston, but to every city in this
great State, and is absolutely the only
method of properly doing the work and
fulfilling our duty.
