MARTHA HOME To
GET MORE TIME
Police Board Calls Special Ses.
sion for Tonight to Extend
Removal Order.

The police commission will meet in
special session tonight at 1880 o'clock to
extend the time limit for the removal
of the Martha home, the limit having
been fixed at the recent meeting of the
commission as February is.
That an extension of time will be
granted there is no doubt, as most of
the commissioners already have ex-
pressed themselves as being in har-
mony with the work of the rescue home
and with desiring to aid it in every way
possible.
The special committee Of the COM
mission, Commissioners Johnson, King
and Vernoy, Is working jointly with
the Men and Religion leaders in finding
a new location for the home, and it is
believed suitable place will be &C
cepted within the next few days. The
meeting tonight was called by Chair
man Carlos Mason on request OF the
special committee of three.
The complaining citizens in the Har-
ris street community, 1t is said. are In
favor Of giving the home more time.
for the reason that this will avoid a
police court hearing and the bringing Of
women and girls into court as wit
nesses. As the matter now stands, 1t
would be necessary for the police to
make a case against the home should
it not be moved within the specified
time And this would mean a police
court hearing
Marion jackson and John J. Eagan,
leaders of the Men and Religion move
ment, will explain to the commission
tonight their desires and efforts to move
the home as soon as possible.

Ashley Out of Fight.
Councilman Claude l.. Ashley, chair

the fight. He said when council over
rode Mayor Woodward's veto that end
ed the matter so far as he was con-
cerned and that he would sign the
vouchers IN payment for the plant.
Mayor Woodward alone is left as the
opposition TO the crematory, and. while
ne declares he will not sign check
in payment for it until ordered to do
so by the supreme court, little doubt Is
felt among the councilmen that the
courts will sustain the appropriation.

William, G. Grant Tells the Tail of Mouse
SIXTH GRADE BOY WINS

William q. Grant, of the sixth grade
of Highland Avenue school, is today's
successful competitor for The Geor-
gian's prize of one dollar offered to the
contributor of the best news STORY.
His story follows, under the caption he
gave it:
THE "TAIL" OF A MOUSE.
1t was about II O'clock, during
the geography period, and all the
children were studying hard.
The teacher went in to the cloak
room to put on her coat All of a
sudden scream was heard and the
teacher fell back into the chair all
of the room was in a panic; girls
stood upon their desks and
screamed while the boys, shouting
at the top of their voices, chased
something about the room.
AT last it was caught-and what
could it be that could cause so
much excitement? Nothing but a
little mouse. just two inches long,
who innocently was taking q
snooze in the teachers coat.
Here's another contribution worth
printing It is by Mary Johnson of the
seventh grade. William F. Slatol

Last Monday two boys of our
school decided to run away.

SOUTH ITALYs WATER POWER
Huge Power Plants Planned With
 Irrigation Works Also

Southern Italy is to secure a large amount of hydraulic power in the Ca labria region for operating electric plants, and it is expected to lay out water storage resrvoirs so as to ob- tain 50.000 horsepower.
 The Sila mountain region has an abundant rainfall. but this is quite irregular during the year. In order to regularize the flow there will be used four great reservoirs, the larg- est of which will contain 5000. 900, 900 cubic feet of water.
 At the start, there will be erected 50,0G0 horsepower turbine electric plant and part of the current is to serve the nitrate of calcium fertilizer works, the remainder to be sent over lcng power lints through Calabria and neighboring regions.
 Agriculture as we'll as hygiene will profit by the new enterprise. as the country will have a rational irrigation system. owing to the regular water supply
 Sardinia is to have a somewhat similar scheme before long, and as this island is especially devoted to horse raising and stockraising, it is expected that the quality of fodder will no longer suffer during dry spells
 The River Tirso is to supply re- servoir of 10000. .OOO, ,0OO cubic feet for use with 15,OOO horsepower hy- draulic plant. and the water will ir- rigate the Cagliari plain. Numerous mines will use the current for power instead of expensive Scientific American.

you thing they would fall and break their legs. and then the girl draws loose and flees again in a ridiculous dancing step of mincing grace. Again the boy pursues her. When he catches her in clear space, he grips her left hand firmly with his right hand and to the music, simply whirls the girl round and round at arms length, himself pivot ing on one stilt, until the combination of centrifugal and centripetal force raises her and her skirts and her stilts to whirl almost horizontally. If he should let go of her, she would be dashed far away against one of the houses, like a stone from sling. Yet he lets her die down with seeming ease and deposits her on her feet-or rather. on her stilts-With ceremonious bow. It is generally the end of the show and the encore is a waltz.

Their faces were covered with blood and their clothes were in tatters. yet neither had once slipped or fallen from his stilts-and they were high ones.-F'rom the Detroit Free Pes,
