MANY FIRE ALARMS
 BUT DAMAGE SLIGHT

Small fires caused from chimney sparks kept the fire department on the run all day yesterday Oyer 15 fire alarms were turned in to the central station, but the largest loss of these fires did not exceed S5, and it was not necessary for any hose to be laid. This is an unusual number of fire alarms.
 It is stated that at this time of the year, with the wind blowing high, and chimneys being used all winter without being cleaned out causes burning soot to fall on the roof, which results in large fires, if the spark is not discov- cred.
 The promptness of the fire department in responding to the calls and the quick work on the part of the firemen pre- vented the small fires from spreading. The fire departments are arranged so that they can reach any point in 15 min utes with the large motor trucks that are now used

"Sari."

Jan Kubelik, the famous violinist
was once dining with friend in a Bud
apest cafe when the gypsy orchestra
began to play a dstinctively gypsy
melody. The friend later, in writing
of the incident, said that Kubelik at
once became alert, his eyes sparkling
and his lips thus smiling and thus re-
manned until the gypsy tune was fin
ished and the orchestra struck up a
popular society air, playing by note
All interest fled from Kubelik's face
and he turned to his companion and
remarked: when the gypsies are con
tent to play their own music they are
wonderful when they do not they are
impossible"
That remark is of special interest
