Street Signs for Clio

Street signs will soon appear on
each corner to direct the wayfar-
ing through the village, il the plans
of the Clio Board of Trade fail not.
At meeting of the directors Fri
day, Secretary HI. j. Refining was in
structed to draw up plans for dis
tricting the village for the aid of the
fire department and for the placing
of signs on street corners. With the
system proposed the people may be
educated to know what fire Gistrict
they live in. Then when an alarm
is given, the power plant may be
told the number of the district and
the location of the fire indicated by
whistle blasts at the end of the
general alarm.
1t was pointed out by those favor
ing the new system that heretofore
the fire department has been forced
to wait minutes sometimes after the
alarm to find out from volunteer
couriers just where the apparatus is
wanted.
Mr.. Refining is busy plotting the
town into districts.

HYMEN PREFERS JAIL
TO PAYING DOG TAX
SAYS HE WON'T GIVE MONEY TO
THE VILLAGE
Corporation Lawyers Ask Judge Wisner
to Sentence Implement Man.
End of Case Near.

'I'll go to jail but I'll never pay
that fine," said E. w. Hymen, who
two years ago was convicted of al
lowing dog to run at large in vio-
lation of the village ordinance.
Farley G. Selby last week filed a
petition with the circuit court ask
ing that Mr.. Hymen be sentenced.
The supreme court recently refused
to review the case on the ground
that it had no authority to review
criminal cases arising from ordin-
ance violations.
"I'll certainly never pay the viii
lage any money" said Mr.. Hymen,
"They can give me the limit in Jail
and I'll serve my time"
The dog still roams complacently
about Clos Streets 1t has never
worn one of the village tags, Mr..
Hymen's refusal to purchase the
same being the cause of his arrest
by Marshal Define two years .ago.
At one time when Define warned
Hymen about purchasing the license
the owner of the dog offered to turn
it over to the village rather than
spend the dollar. 1t has cost both
Mr.. Hymen and the village hundreds
of dollars.
In the meantime the ordinance
has not been enforced in the case
of other dogs around the village, II
is said.

Build Roads Around Hills

Zig-zag roads for the avoidance of
hills are advocated by the federal
roads Offices in Washington, d. Co.,
according to bulletins issued this
week. Officials declare that the
lives of horses and automobiles
could be heightened thereby and the
cost of hauling reduced materially.
The experts contend that the longest
way around often may the shortest
and most economical way home and
decry the natural tendency to build
straight roads whenever they must
breast heavy grades.
According to the testimony of
farmers consulted" the bureau de-
claras, Where q horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on level
road, it would have difficulty in pull
ing 5000 pounds up a steep hill.
The size of the load to market.
In a number of cases actual expert
ment shows that the re-routing Of
roads around hills has been accod-
plished with no addition in road
length in some instances with the
addition of only few feet to the
highway in others.

Out Door Games

Superintendent of Schools Chapel,
has started the series of articles on
outdoor games and field sports which
he promised for the rural child
rem. The first installment follows:
'The boy without Fairgrounds
father to the man without "a Job"
Two games, "chinning the bar and
pole vaulting" will be described this
month In the first named, all the
apparatus needed is horizontal bar
five or six feet from the ground.
A short limb of tree would answer
the purpose. The bar is to be
grasped by both hanGs and the body
raised so that the chin is over the
bar; the body is then let down till
the arms are Strengthened then the
act of raising the body repeated. The
feet must not touch the ground.
Boys under thirteen should be able
to chin the bar at least four times
and high school boys ten times with
out over exertion.
In pole vaulting, there should be
level space four or five rods long
for a running start. The equipment
consists of strong, light pole that
will support the weight of the boy,
and two standards. These may be
made of 2x2's with cross pieces
nailed at the bottom and securely
braced to enable them to stand erect.
Beginning about two or three feet
from the bottom, bore three-eighths
inch holes every two inches to the
top. Right the standards about
twelve feet apart and place a neatly
whitfield hardwood plug in each one
at equal heights from the ground.
Place a light stick or fish pole on
/ these plugs on the side of the stand
ards away from the boy when he
starts to run so he will knock it
off without its tripping him. The
contestant, by aid of the pole and
a running start tries to clear the
crossbar. The ground should be
loosened where the boy falls. Nine
feet was the record at the county
meet at Flint last June.
Take pains in making the stand
ards so that they will make as good
an appearance and be as serviceable
as possible. Remember that you
will need much practice to do this
we'll Do not become discouraged II
you have to begin at the lowest
notch for there is then greater
chance for improvement. Do not try
to do too much at one time. 1t is
better to train slowly but regularly
and give the heart and other organs
of the body chance to gain strength
for the increased exertion. Other
athletics will be described next
month.

fortunately it does. Arrests of street

many judges either fail to discourage
