1903 Lehman St., Dayton, Ohio,
April 20, 1914.
Dear Willard-My name Is Theo-
dore Noll. l am in the Seventh grade
and 60 to Hawthorn school. One day
our principal, Mr.. Horner. came into
our room with large sheet Of paper
in his hands and said there we're
some boys and girls in Utah who
would like to get letter once in "a
while. We copied the names and ad-
dresses from the paper and took them
home to write to you.
I think you might be interested in
my story of the food.
Tuesday morning We were awaken
ed by the bells and whistles blowing,
it was about two o'clock and the
noise meant danger from the river,
we got everything upstairs except the
piano and couch and the other large
pieces of furniture. At three In The
morning the water was on the first
floor, at nine 1t was foot from the
second floor; at ten the water. was
three feet over the levee. We live In
front OF the levee. A boat came and
took us out; we went along Lehman
street until we got to Wildly street a
square farther, then Colonel Wood
shouted to us that the current was
too strong and that we should go up
Wildly street and get among the hous-
es so we would not get swept into the
river. We worked our way through to.
Main street and foated along with the
current and used an oar for a rudder
and came to the Belleview Flats
where we stayed during the flood the
boat Just ahead of us had just emp
tied the people out Of it and was 60
ing after more when the current
swept them into the river, one man
caught on a small tree but the others
went down. The man who caught in
the tree hung there and the militia
sent trained bull dog out with a
rope but the man could not get 1t.
Then Sergeant Harper, the dare devil |
OF the militia said he would 60 out |
in boat in the river which was run
ming almost thirty miles per hour.
Everybody persuaded him not to, but
he went anyway. He got the boat
under the tree and told the man to
drop. He lit in the boat but knocked
Sargenat Harper out Of It. The man
in the tree was saved, but Sergeant
Harper lost his life. .,
It is getting late, SO must close,

Army's Fight on Typhoid,


The efficacy of the treatment of ty-
phoid by vaccination is estimated by
the remarkable statistics for the
United States army during last year,
when only two cases Of typhoid fever
among the enlisted force of $4,000
were recorded. OF the two cases one
was that of a man who had not been
treated with the vaccine; the other
was among the troops in China. This
mar had been immunized in 1911, but
the history of the case is in doubt.
Before the vaccine treatment was
adopted the typhoid average was 3 to
1000; in 1910, before inocluation was
practised, the rate was 2.32 to 1000;
in 1911 it dropped to O.S0, and in 1912
to Distinguishing Record.

Courts and Precedence.
From the DAYTON News,

Regardless of their feeling about SUI
preme Judge r. M. Wananaker, and his
rebellious attitude toward the supreme
court, most men outside the legal pro-
fession will applaud his utterance Of this
week with reference to case law.
Fills statement is that judges have de-
veloped SO great a subserviency to prece-
dent. that the average cause is decided
by them after an exhaustive research
through the recorded decisions bearing on
the subject, and that judgment is reached
by a more or less skillful effort to strike a
balance between the favorable and un-
favorable opinions previously handed
down. The equity side. he contends, is
usually left entirely out Of account, and
the matter Is not often decided on its
merits.
1t will cause some surprise to the av.
erase layman to be told that there is a
growing tendency toward the practice OF
which Judge Wanamaker complains. A
great many men were of the opinion that
the trend of things was toward a more
common sense dealing with disputes.
