two pleasure boats that ply the Poto-
mac river between Washington and
Marshall Hall.
"Stop promiscuous hugging, kissing
and flirting on the approaches to the
capitol" is an order issued to capitol
policemen.
The new rules on the st. Johns and
the Manchester prohibit kissing, en-
bracing or squeezing hands. Break
away there" is the command given
by the officers on the vessels and at the
capitol when they come upon spooning
couples. If the mandate is not obeyed
a brilliant searchlight is turned on the
guilty persons.
For many years dark spots about the
approaches to the capitol have been
used by spooners. 1t was not unusual
TO see as many as twenty-five couples
in the cozy hooks that flank the senate
and house wings

ENGINEER ORVIS
BADLY BURNED
DRIVER OF SOUTHWEST LIMITED
MET WITH PAINFUL ACCI.
DENT THURSDAY NIGHT

Engineer Fred C. Orvis, driver of
Milwaukee Southwest Limited No. IL,
received painful face burns Thurs
day evening at Laredo when the plug
Of the lubricator blew out, sending
fully three pints of hot oil into his
face. Glasses were the only thing that
saved Engineer Orvis' eyes from des-
truction. Although the injury is very
painful, Mr.. Orvis is getting along
nicely today. Physicians are unable to
determine at present whether the
burns will leave any marks on his
face.
The accident happened at 10 o'clock,
Engineer Orvis had just coupled his
engine on the limited. ready to pull to
Ottumwa. He was performing the
usual task of oiling up. His. face was
less than foot away from the valve
when the blowout came. The hot oil
came with terrific force. under the
pressure of 200 pounds Of steam. 1t
struck Engineer Orvis squarely in the
face. The oil then took fire from the
torch he carried, burning the gloves
from his hands and also the greater
part of his mustache. Despite his in
juries, Engineer Orvis brought his
train to Ottumwa.

BIRTHS EXCEED
DEATHS IN YEAR
RECORD BEING MADE By CLERK
OF DISTRICT COURT SHOWS
MAJORITY OF BIRTHS.

The fact that sixty-six more births
were recorded than deaths in the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1911, demon
strates that race suicide has not be-
come a prominent feature in Wapello
county If statistics are to be consid-
cred as a criterion. Such is made
plain in the figures compiled by the
clerk Of court, Georke Phillips and his
deputy, Miss Clara Peterson. The
figures are arrived at in making up
the report for the statistical authori-
ties Of the state in connection with the
state board of health. The report
shows that during the period begin
ming July 1, 1910 and June 80, 1911
there were 579 births recorded In the
county. During the same period the
number of deaths reported was 513.
This shows the difference, sixty-six in
favor of the new live ones. The re-
port being compiled by the clerk Of
court will not be finished until the rec
ord of marriages has also been made
All of the above records have to be
transcribed into book for that pur-
pose and an abstract made for the
state board of health for statistical
purposes.
