Ordinances Are Rapidly Being
Adopted in Nebraska Towns.
COMMISSIONERS RANDALL BUS
Ordinances Are Suggested to Munich
palities, One for Inspection of
Buildings, Another for Stor-
ing Inflammable Material.

Because State Fire Commissioner Ran
dali has found that great many Ne

fire departments, and some without
department at all, he has circulated
copy of three ordinances to every city
and village council in the state, some of
which have already been adopted. One
provides for the examination. and inspeo-
ton of the condition of houses, buildings,
lots, streets, and alleys within the cor
porate limits and prescribes the duties Of
the inspector In ordering the removal Of
highly inflammable materials, and the
remedying of such conditions in general
as increase the hazard Of the building or
the community. Another provides for
keeping, storing and regulating the sale
of gasoline and other volatile oils. It
provides that for family or personal use
gasoline may be kept in quantities not
to exceed two gallons and that this
must be kept in closed metallic cans
painted red, and free from leaks. Per-
sons. firms or corporations keeping
gasoline or other volatile oils for sale
may be permitted to keep not to ex-
eeed five gallons of gasoline in closed
metallic cans, painted red, and owners
Of automobiles shall be permitted to
have the tanks in their machines full
and tightly closed in buildings owned or
controlled by them. All gasoline or vola-
tile oils in excess Of these amounts shall
be kept underground and outside of any
building and be handled only by some
pumping system approved by the ma
tional board of fire underwriters. 1t
Furthermore provides that no gasoline or
other volatile oils shall be handled ex-
cept by daylight or by incandescent
electric lights
Burning of Rubbish.
The third ordinance suggested by the
fire commissioner seeks to regulate the
burning of rubbish, waste, and other
combustible materials within the cor
porate limits. 1t makes 1t unlawful to
burn such materials except In a brick
furnace constructed according to strict
regulations.
The ordinance describes the dimensions
and tells how to construct the furnace

fars showing cuts OF the brick furnace
and describing the working of 1t.

sang out young Hudson, looking at

Lieutenant Shaw grinned Il don't
know what you understood, but that's
what we're doing"
Immediately Wellington's great face
began to churn and work like a big

then he lurched forward like too

Mrs. Whitcomb, who had now
mounted step ladder and poised her
self as gracefully as possible, shrieked
with alarm, as she saw Wellington's
bulk rolling toward her frail support.
If Hudson and Shaw had not been
football veterans at West Point and
had not known just what to do when
the center rush comes bucking the
line, they could never have blocked
that flying wedge. But they checked
him and impelled him backward
through his own curtains into his own

Finding himself on his back, he de-

remained, oblivious Of the carnival
