DOUBLE PLATOON SYSTEM
We would like to find expression
through the valuable columns of The
Day Book for the enclosed article on
the Double Platoon System" for
firemen:
''By action of the body in regular
meeting assembled, we unanimously
endorsed the plea and will work to
bring to a successful termination, in
behalf of the firemen, their struggle
to establish the. Double Platoon Sys-
tenn We base our action on the fol-
lowing principles:
"a man is worthy of his hire. If
society needs the service of a man,
and considers the service performed
indispensable to - it's welfare and
safety, then it is the duty of society
to repay that service in a way COM
patible with it's best interests.
eve believe the best interests of
society are not served in compelling
a man to do duty twenty-four hours
each day.

comparisons, but to better empha-
size the work a fireman performs, we

Cities are made by men. Villages grow into towns

Take the growth ofChicago which represents mighty

There are some mistaken ideas as to the object of
commercial organizations which very dsasrously affect
the usefulness Of many of them. A and fatal
alacy the idea that cities be made by the starting
of booms The only sure thing about a boom is that
it will burst and there cannot be anything more un-
satisfactory to have on hand than a bursted BOOM
The modern idea in the making of cities is to have
