not stand the loneliness any long.
er. I miss my wife every day
more. ! hope my relation and

Town Board In
Regular Session
The Town Board met in regu-
lar session Monday night and
transacted the business which
had accumulated as far as possi-
ble. There were one or two i'm
portant matters which will re-
quire . special meeting and ad-
journment was made subject to
call of the Mayor.
A report Of the Water Commit
tee was heard from Trustee No
Ian In the absence of Trustee
Barth. Mr.. Nolan reported sew
eral visits made by the committee
to several other cities and plants
but that all failed to be of much
practical benefit because of diff
ferent conditions. w. M. Board
man, one of Arvada's good citi-
xens and an expert on hydraulic
pumps, being a hydraulic engin-
eer of wide experience and repu-
tation, gave the council some
practical suggestions as to what
should be done to improve the
Arvada water system. He feels
certain that to much power is be-
ing required to pump the water
into the tank and told how 1t
might be remedied. After an ar
gumentative discussion between
Mr.. Boerdman and Trustee No
Ian, the board took no furthur
action, largely because it finds
itself facing q shortage Of funds,
owing to the large expenditure
on Ralston Avenue sidewalks.
The most Of this work was to
have been paid for by the prop
erty owners, but for some reason
they are taking their time and in
the meantime other improve
ments have to be retarded on &C.
count Of 1t. Some Of the proper.
ty owners on Ralston who pre-
ferred to put In their own walks
were given the privilege to do 50.
but - yet have made no effort in
that direction. Those whose
walks were put in by the city
and were expected to pay within
80 days are deferring payments
they ny because the others have
not put theirs in, 70 that it was
decided to notify that they must
get busy within Is days, and the
othsss will be asked to pay up in
order to obviate the shortage in
funds.
Messrs. Field and Gilmore ap-
peared before the board to com.
plain about the manner in which
the Wadsworth ditch ID allowed
to overflow and spoil the street
and also Mr.. Gilmore believes
that the Ditch company should
be compelled to cut the weeds on
the hanks Of their ditch. The
committee agreed to look into the
matter.

STUDYING Health Insurance.

The National Civic federation has
instituted inquiries into the methods
in foreign countries of insuring wage
earners against misfortune, and as a
result the social service department
of the federation is considering the
desirability. of recommending legisla-
ton to provide for compulsory insur-
ance for illness.
A committee has been in London
to study the operation of the national
insurance act of Great Britain EN-
ployers were asked about the cost
of the insurance and its relation to
business. Wage earners were asked
to give information regarding the eff
fects on wage rates, on the conditions
of employment, and on their general
welfare. Changes in the cost of poor
relief and any reduction in the death
rate from preventable diseases were
investigated.
This general survey will prepare the
way for an investigation by commits
sion next spring, when an effort will
be made to bring together all infor.
nation which VIII serve social insur-
ance purposes in the United States.

LEADS IN CRAB INDUSTRY
Seasons Catch for Green Bay District
Estimated at 1900, o00-In-
crease in Popularity.

Green Bay.-Crab fishing is now one
of the recognized industries of Wis
consin. Handling the little crustace-
ans has become a regular business
only recently in this state. A con-
sentative estimate of the entire crab
catch for the 1914 season in and
around Green Bay would be something
close to 100000 crabs. This, of
course, includes besides the regular
shipments of all the regular fish deal
ers, the private sales of fishermen who
prefer to maj Get their own produce.
The market for the local product
has gradually extended until cities as
far east as New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg are regular customers.
As the lobster industry has decreased,
corresponding gains have been regis
tered in the crab business. 1t is not
improbable that within a few years,
when the price of Holsters has awaited
even beyond the purses of those of
great wealth, the once lowly crab will
come completely into its own.

half q dozen such in London still COM
memorate Frederick the Great, and
over all England you may still find

Under the influence of her red nose
and golden scepter he continued to
sell ale till she was no longer the

her therefore, some time ego, for the

BET LAST CENT ON ROULETTE
American REFUGEES in Ostend in Dire
Distress Financed b. Lucky
Turn Of Wheel.

A San Francisco real estate firm has
received a letter from a client telling
how ne replenished his purse by risk
ing his last coin at roulette. when
his appeals home for money were
fruitiess on account of conditions fol-
lowing the breaking out of hostilities
in Europe He was in Ostend when
the actual fighting BEGAN and had
been travelling in Europe for some
months For Obvious reasons his
name is withheld The letter says.
in part:
I'VE had made Ostend our objec-
tive point, considering it the most
favorable point for awaiting develop
ments. The morning after our arrival
there a complete paralysis of the
financial situation established itself,
nothing available had any circulating
value: checks, letters of credit, the
American Express company or travel
ers' checks, or even Belgian paper
money, ali shared the same fac. That
evening our limited capital consisted
of eight francs in my pocket. OF
course, / had depended upon my let
tiers of credit.
I'VE went in silence walking down
the ocean shore. Both myself and
wife wondered where we would go
next, and what would become Of us,
when we came upon a brilliantly
lighted kursaal. 1t occurred to us we
might correct our fortune by stalking
it all upon the roulette Wheel. At
the most it Couldn't render our lot
any worse than it was. To our hor-
ror, however, the inscription, i've
francs entree, confronted our eyes.
That would leave us but three francs
in our pockets. Once again the situa-
ton was saved by my wife, From
the bottom of her hand satchel she
produced a five-franc piece, which she
had laid away during the fat years,
looking forward TO contingencies. So
in we marched, and, after having got
on to the arithmetic of the gambling
table, we selected No. % to decide our
fate.
THE wheel whirled round and
round, and it became black before our
eyes, but in our ears it sounded Ike
poetry, and when it stopped hadn't
hands enough to gather the money.
My number had won, and they paid me
35 for l. Remembering it was
easier to make money than to keep
it, we proved ourselves worthy of the
honor by withdrawing from the ring,
and sought our exit, feeling once again
we were able to take care of our
selves for a day or two"
