Twice today city hall employees
rushed to the windows to see the city
fire department make a run and each
time they were disappointed. The
cause of the excitement was a small
boy using his vocal chords in excel
lent imitation of the siren horns of
the fire motor wagons.
E. F. A. Reinisch, city superintend-
ent of parks, appeared in the city hall
today with his shins encased in leg
gings. Been wading through snow

There are four distinct styles IN
plates. The first Is the arm0rial. In
this the crest or coat of arms Is used
and sometimes the owners name add

decoration creates the basis Of the idea.
The third is the pictorial plate. This
