AID TO FIREMEN.
Baltimore Engineer Invents Novel
Signaling Apparatus.

Ever since the introduction of the silent
alarm system in Baltimore the problem
that has confronted the police of the traf-
tic squad has been to determine, on sight
ing the fire engines, whether the engines
would go straight on a street or turn out
at any particular intersection. in the
congested section of the city the keeping
of clear way for the fire apparatus was
thus rendered more difficult until one of
the engineers of the Baltimore fire de-
partment invented a new signal appa-
ratus.
This signal. which is being tried out on
one of the high-pressure automobile hose
wagons, consists of large red and white
striped paddle and is operated by the man
who sits beside the driver of the machine
and who also sounds the alarm bell If
the machine is going straight across ans'
intersecting streets. then the paddle re-
mains upright. but IL it is proposed to
turn either to left or right the paddle is
lowered to the side to which the turn will
be made.

CITY WATER PLANT A SUCCESS.
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Well Pleased
With Municipal Ownership.

Municipal ownership has received a big
boost in western Iowa because of the
successful year which the Council Bluffs
city water works has just closed. The
annual report, just issued, shows that in
addition to paying off the interest on the
investment. spending $4,000 in better
ments and repairs. the city has cleared
approximately $4,000, which sum will be
set aside to assist i'm paying the bonds
when they fall due. Enemies of mu-
nicipal ownership have been converted.
The Council Bluffs water plant was
built nearly thirty years ago. Since then
its owners have received regular dividends
of about IL per cent and more, while
practically nothing has been expended for
betterments and repairs. In fact. much
of the antiauated machinery which was
installed when the plant was constructed
was still in use when the city took over
the system. The fight for possession of
the water works was waged for eight
wears The company exhausted every
legal technicality to maintain its hold
on the profitable business. but advocates
of city ownership fought the battle to
a successful finish and in July, 1911, the
system was turned over to the city.
Council Bluffs issued longtime bonds,
which were sold, and the money received
from the sale was paid over TO the water
company and the city took the plant.
Simply the city's credit was used. And
the first years profits are SO remarkable
that the citizens see In the near future
that they will have sufficient cash with
which to pay Of all Indebtedness. thus
securing ownership of the entire system
without the expenditure of single cent
New settling basins have been construct
ed and big storage basins are being built
Many miles of new pipes have been laid
and repairs and betterments are being
made in every department of the system

Rose Rust.
From the Gardener.


Rose rust, more popularity known as
orange or red rust, is a disease attacking
both the foliage and the wood Of roses,
causing considerable designation, to say
nothing of harm to the trees.
In its early stage the disease is of a clear
yellow, changing later to a reddish hue,
and lastly to a dark or black color, this
toward the autumn, when its final de-
velopment Is accomplished. During this
period three forms of spore are pro-
duced, the two former reproducing during
the same season, the latter resting. This
last passes the winter within the tissues
of the wood or among the decaying foil
age, by which means the disease becomes
perpetuated. Though appearing only as
minute specks on the wood or foliage in
the first instance. ii quickly spreads and
becomes difficult to eradicate.
Repression consists in Manipulating the
affected foliage, coupled with the COM
plete removal of attacked wood, and the
application at frequent intervals Of a
good fungicide, sprayed, not syringed.

suiphide of potassium solution are ex-
