Manager Schmidt had prepared

members of the Commercial club
were surprised to learn there was

all bills had been paid. The mat
tier gilmore shares being taken in

nified their intention of subscrib-

could have loaned many thou

stock. A number of shares were
taken before the meeting closed.
The matter of purchasing a
flungmotor was taken up and all
agreed that one was needed in the
city and q plan was mapped out
to purchase one without working
a hardship on any one. It was
proposed that the fire department
raise $50, the schools s25, the
Improvement league $25, the
Commercial club s25 and the
railroad shops s25. a committee.
was appointed to see if this pro-
gram could be carried out, but all
were satisfied that no trouble
would be encountered in raising
the money.
The next thing up for discus
sion was the matter of getting bet
ter protection for traffic at the
Sixth street crossing. A number
OF, plans were suggested and dis
carded as impractical, but ME
most feasible one, and the one
which a committee appointed was.
to work on, was to get crossing
lust west of the round house
which would give an absolutely
straight road from Erie street to
I the turn leading into Loveland.
There would be a four-mile
stretch of road as straight as a
surveyors instrument can make
| it and when it is properly graded
would be as good as any road in
the county. BY making the road
cross the tracks there only two
tracks would have to be crossed
and no switch tracks. If the road
I is put in the proper condition and
THE dangerous railroad crossing
eliminated, there is no doubt
about getting the Lincoln high
lway to go that way. The railroad
company is just as anxious as the
people to do away with the death

lbut it is a problem to know how
Ito eliminate it. "A committee
consisting of G. w. Kellogg, L. r.

the way of a change.
There we're a number of other
matters which would have been
brought up but the discussions
had taken up so much time it was
deemed best to lay the balance on
the table until the next monthly

forces at this time, giving rise to
many tornado developments, enor
nous downpours of rain and hail, all
winding up with very high barome-
ter. cold norlherly winds and frosty
nights.
\ reactionary storm period is
central on the gath, 25th and goth.
This period is at the last quarter of
the Moon, and under the continued
domination of the Venus equinox.
With these exceptions, the causes Of
storm disturbances are reduced to a
minimum at this time. Nevertheless,
We are to expect falling barometer,
rising temperature, return Of storm
clouds, and more or less precipita-
ton. The sudden extremes of tenn
perature that characterize the Venus
periods, we may reasonably expect,
will appear during this period-that
is, very warm days will Immediately
precede the st rm center, but sud
den change to very cool, within a
few hours. will follow the storms,
bringing the temperature down al
most or quite to the frost line, north
ward at night.
A regular storm period, having its
center on May 1st and extending
from April 2Sth to May 4th, will be
in transit as we approach the end OF
the month Much Of the electric vic
iousness Of the Venus equinox will
express itself at this period. The
| conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon
on the 3Oth will increase storm prob
abilities on and about that day. The
Moon being on the celestial equator
on the 2Sth. will tend greatly to de-
press barometer readings, to marked
rise of temperature, and to the gen
Grafton of startling storms OF light
ming, thunder, rain and wind. After
many long years Of patient, careful
observation, we are prepared to eX-
pect hail storms, any time during the
warm season, when the Moon is on
| the celestial equator, coming from
south declination, in regular storm
period dominated by a Venus period.
| This period will reach its culmlna-
ton in the opening days Of May.

you're right, Zapp," Birsky said,
"and anyhow, Zapp, all he's got to do
to pay his income tax for 1915 to 1862,

gasolene a couple of cents a gallon"
HE done that already, Birsky,"
Zapp said. "In fact, Birsky, he put

Ambitions Uses.

Did you ever wake to q sickening
realization of the fact that you had ar
rived at as high a point in your pro-
f~esslon, your business or your pleas
ures as you are ever likely to attain?
That from now on every year of your
life will be very like the last, allowing
only for depreciation In effort and re-
suit? Did it give you a turn, to think
that the precious ambition of your
youth, the bright. thing you hoped at
twenty to have caught at forty, must
now be dear to you only as a guiding
principle, that helped in accomplish
ing the little you have done, and not
as the great, transcendent something
you hoped to have and hold and a
ter? If you have felt this, and been
bowed to the ground by the disap-
pointment of it all; you are on the
highroad to doing the best work Of
