WANTED MOT HER
RANG FIRE BELL
Children Thought They
Heard Burglars At The
Window.
(Frmo Thursdays Daily.)

Last night the. police officers were
called for the first time since the new
police alarm ordinance went into
effect by the ringing of the fire
bell. Two little children, who were
remaining at home while their
mother went to the lecture at the
Congregational church, were the cause
of the alarm. Evidently the mother
had told the children that if anyone
came to the house they should 60 to
the telephone and call the police.
About 9:15 o'clock the children
imagined they heard a burglar trying
to enter the house at a window and
Immediately they telephOned to CEN
trail to have the officers called. The
little ones gave central the impression
that the trouble was at the Congrega-
tiOnal church, tor it was their mother
they wanted.
The officers hurried to the church to
fnd nothing wrong and when they re-
turned to central she told them where
the call came from Chief of Police
Pelton and Officer Butterfeld went to
the residence where they discovered
that the children had become frighten-
ed and wanted their mother.

ury about $500, the cost of the service
to each subscriber being $500. Here

Suicide Among German Children.

Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those OF
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. II
would be interesting to know il any OF
the so-called heather countries Of the
world have ever experienced such @
horrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.

For Curtain Stretchers.

Any woman who is in need of cur
tain stretchers and has a set Of quilt
ing frames on hand. can make them
in the following way: Buy some fine
wire nails one-inch size, and put a
row of them along one edge of your
frames as far apart as the scallops
OF your curtains. Then secure your
frames at the corners and stretch
your curtains on the small nails. AT
ter all your curtains are done, remove
the nails, as they are liable to rust
if left in, and it is very easy to tack
nails in the old holes when next you
want to use them.
