Viaduct Leading From

The foot bridge leading from
town to the court house, is really
in an unsafe condition, and a
new floor should be laid on it at
once. The wooden boards are
rottening, and in some places
there are holes through which a
child's foot could slip, and which
might result in broken bones and
damages from the city.
Pedestrians who travel over
this viaduct are anxious that re-

the season in company with his wife
and married daughter, Mrs. c. l..

so fearful of this country and England

Canada.
Mr.. Borsh has evidently been keep
ing informed of the negotiations be-

government and the present strained
relations arising from the dilatory

international law preyed upon him to
such an extent that he decided to re-

new ORDINANCE
IS VERY DRASTIC
FIRE CHIEF FRENCH MAKES I'M
TIAL INSPECTION AND FINDS
MANY iNFRlNGEMENTS IN RE-
GARD TO TRASH BURNING.

Chief w +. French of the Daytona
fire department. made a preliminary
inspection Monday of the fire district
in accordance with the enforcement
of the new ordinance for the abate-
ment of nuisances and followed it up
this morning with a more thorough
inspection which resulted in his Civ
ing - notices of infringement of the
ordinance.
That section referring to the burn
ing of trash seems to be quite gener-
ally misinterpreted. being far more
drastic than is generally supposed,
Chief French says he will enforce it
strictly as it now stands or until the
section has been modified by an
amendment.
All residents and property owners
within the city limits should bear in
mind that no trash of any kind must
be burned within 25 feet of any build
ing and only then when the inciner
ating is done in an accepted trash
trash burner. This includes brush and
weeds, as well as paper and other
lighter trash. and really prohibits the
burning of any material of this kind
within the city limits

FUNNY STORY OF KID BROAD
Remembered Fathers Admonitions
But Hadn't Strength Enough Left
to Get Up From Floor.

Abe Attell, former featherweight
champion, tells funny story about
the time Kid Broad, one Of the good
ones of the old days, was knocked out
by Aurelio Herrera, hardest little
fighter the ring ever produced.
Broads father, according to Attell,
had told the Kid that if he was ever
Topped to think of his old daddy m
Cleveland and get up.
Broad was floored early in his Her
rera fight. AS the referee tolled OF
the count, Broad mumbled: Kid,
think of your daddy in Cleveland and
get up" Up he got.
In the next round Herrera landed
another sledge hammer drive. Broad
as he lay on the floor, went through
the same act, mumbling: kid, think
of your daddy in Cleveland and get
up" He was up in a jiffy.
In the fourth round Herrera landed
harder than ever on Broad's jaw, and
down went the kid. The referee had
about counted him out, when Broad,
dazed and dreamy-eyed, looked up and
said: IF you want me to get up this
time, dad, you'll have to come and
pull me up"

Jack Fourier, heavy-hitting out

Several weeks before the close of

big Frenchman into his room and had
a heart-to-heart talk regarding plans
for next season.
After emerging from this interview
Fournier admitted he would start

his services to the highest bidder on

The creditor thought over the mat

trusting his bike again to the dare

decided to take chance.

(By FRANK G. MENKE.)

Ralph De Palma owes his entry into
the automobile racing game to the
fact that he borrowed bicycle some
thing like twenty years ago, used it
for the first time while out delivering
a mess of groceries and busted the
machine-and nearly busted his young
frame-by getting into a smashup
while coasting down hill.
When Ralph returned to the owner
of that bike the fragments of his ma
chine. the owner wanted to assas-
sinate Ralph, but Ralph saved his
hide by agreeing to pay the bike own
or for the damage done as soon as he
could gather in the mazuma through
the medium of his weekly stipend as
a grocery boy.
However, the bike owner became
impatient because payments were
slow, and he approached Ralph on the
subject
I'm doing the best can," explained
Ralph.
Well, your best don't suit me-"
responded Ralph's creditor. ''You
gotta come through faster. If you
don't I'll bust your beezer See?"
Ralph gazed upon his creditor, no.
ticed that he was four or five years
older, four inches taller and about IS
pounds heavier-and Ralph imme-
diately saw"
Gimme a few days to think this
over" asked Ralph. He got it. Dur
ing those days De Palma racked his
brain for some plan whereby he could
raise funds quickly, but none came
forth until one day he saw a billboard
telling about bicycle race to be held
in Buffalo, with cash prizes for the
first eight men finishing.
Gee whizz," calculated Ralph. Now
it may be explained that after that
smashup Ralph had decided never to
do any more riding. But sometimes
circumstances alter cases-and cause
a change of mind. That's what the
circumstances did for Ralph and he
quickly hunted up his creditor.
Say, didju get that bike fixed up
yet?' he asked.

was when she was new"
ooh, that's all right" said De Palma.

Manager Rowland knew what he was
talking about. The big Frenchman was
ambitious to do some smuggling in the
city clash, but he was bitterly disap-
pointed. He misjudged fly in the first
inning of the opening game, costing
the team three runs. That caused
Manager Rowland to bench the big
Frenchman. Felsch replaced him and
remained in the series until it was fin
ished.
Fourier proved to be one of the
best hitters in the American league
last season. His average was 1870.
