DO NOT SECRETE
GARBAGE HOLDERS
Cannot Get Sympathy at City Hall if
You Hide Cans and are Over
looked BY Collector.

People in Rock Island who are skip
ped when the garbage wagon comes
around can get no sympathy at the city
hall if their garbage cans are not
placed in a conspicuous spot, Commits
sioner J. H. Liedtke said today.
Commissioner Liedtke complains
that the garbage cans are too small
and that householdeTs do not put
them in the alley at place where the
city employees will see them. Because
of the rush of business the wagon men
cannot stop long to search for a can
and many times refuse is overlooked
because of this. The commissioner
urges the people to cooperate with the
city in the collection OF garbage as
much as possible.

ton, City Street Inspector Herman
Edens yesterday ordered a tank OF oil

dents raised a purse of SIS to pay for
the oil used. This plan seems to have
met with great approval by Davenport
people, for Herman Edens has been be
sieged with orders for oil. Most of the
orders are accompanied by cash, he
says.

scendant from English-Indian parent
age, her fathers mother being the
daughter of an Indian chief. From her
mother she claims mixture of French,
English, Spanish blood. all early Amer
lean settlers.
Like her ancestors, who were pio-
neers in settling the country, Miss
Gordon was one of the first TO enter
pictures. when professionals constd-
cred it beneath their dignity to pose.
Her award has been ample.
Backed up by years of stage craft,
studying the tricks of the trade with
stock companies and in vaudeville, her
appearance on the screen has more
than borne out the expectations of her
many admirers.
In her home life Miss Gordon is all
that she portrays in the Vitagraph pro-
auctions. She is gracious. affiable and
finds more pleasure in the home-spuu
occupations, in good old books and in
horsemanship than many do in the
lighter things of life.

WILL BUILD ONLY
PART OF SYSTEM
Municipal Officials Can Spend But $780,
O0O For Southwest Storm Drain
and Must Reduce Its Size.

An appropriation of $4,000 won't
buy $70,O00< worth of storm drain.
That is why Rock Island municipal
officials are scratching their heads.
The lowest bid received on the
southwest storm drain is a little over
$4,000. In the budget the city has
provided only $4,000 for the project.
The officials now face the task of de-
Gliding what section of the drain shall
be put in. They can only spend $40.-
GOO and will aim to install where it
is most needed at present
1t is expected that their delibera-
tions will take up the greater part of
a week. They will first decide on the
material which will be used and then
the section of the drain to be installed.
