SCHOOL SUPT. SUMMONED
Police Court to Determine Who Is . Responsible for Keeping Sidewalks
 CIear-G. w. Traut as Witness.

Superintendent of Schools Stanley H Holmes has been summoned to ap- pear in police court tomorrow and ex- plain why the sidewalks have not been cleared of snow about the new Elihu Burritt school property, as is required by city ordinance. Officer A. C. Malone served the simmons upon di- rection of Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett. Chairman George W. Traut of the school boards com mittee on buildings has been sum moned as a witness. Judge James T. Meskill will be asked to determine which department of the school board is supposed to see that the sidewalks about the school property are kept clear. -
 The sidewalks about the Burrltt school were reported to headquar- ters as being covered with snow with no one apparently taking any interest in getting them shoveled. Sergeant T. M Herting communicated with Superintendent Holmes this morning in an attempt to adjust the matter and 7. asking him to come to headquarters. S He was informed that the responsi- bility does not rest with his office but with Mr. Traut. MT Traut was called and said that he was not responsible, and referred the matter to MT. Holmes. The police passed the prob lem along to Prosecuting Attorney Klett, who decided that one would ap- E pear as a principal and the other as witness in order to determine re- sponsibilty.
 M. T White Benjamin LinslSy and Joseph Donovitz, the last two of New Haven, have been summoned to ap- pear in court tomorrow on the same charge.
 Mrs. O'Keefe of Clark street. Du- bowv Brothers Antoni Bokus, Peter Kostizewski. John Kowalski Samuel Sweigh, John O'Brien of North street and Attorney Georee Levitt appeared today and paid s2 each for havine sidewalks that were not sufficiently cleared to meet with the approval o1 the policeman on the beat.

 others are under consideration.

special meeting called to reconsider the

The original resolutions provided that
no voter shall bic influenced. in voting

ELECTRICITY IN THE HoME-MAK-
ING HOME WORK EASIER.
II, s:sai;sss ,ZLnely'I0PLcJ
;Ssisz t / s1IGH5i H,Sjf6n-

Dear Mrs FELTON,: Will it be asking
to much Of YOU wonder? You see !
read The. journal and know something
Of your kindness to others.
The question is: Is your home cleo
tric lighted? What devices would you
choose for making the house work
easier? In the Mothers Magazine is an
advertising puzzle with the above ques-
tion added. / can solve the puzzle, but
never having had electricity in my home
I know very little about the benefits.
Now please tell me what would be most
helpful to a farmers wife and oblige,
without exposing the ignorance of your
true friend.
MRS. o. g. w, sc.
Answer: have. electricity in my
home. have had il more than eight
wears. Ii costs more than kerosene
lighting but ii is less trouble to care
for than kerosene lamps. If one is
careful to turn off the electricity when
not needed the expense can be much re-
duced.
Some years ago | was entertained in
I middle Georgia home where the en-
terprising farmer utilized a spring
branch to generate his own electricity,
and it was a signal success. The spring
branch was ponded and the little water
fall did the work. He conducted the
pipes nearly a half mile to his dwell
ing and he lighted everything that
would need a-light at anytime, his store,
his barnes and stables. He. pumped
water into tank and had sanitary con-
veniences i'm his house with water plen-
tiful for stock and poultry, in and around
yard and nearby enclosures.
He hitched the churn dasher to the
wires and the butter came up in good
time and was we'll churned.
| was familiar with the old-fashioned
way of chuPning and I begun to think
a good deal of my. life had been wasted
when | had worked so long and faith
fully, and the butter slow to come and
hard to gather.
Anybody with a spring branch that
can be used in this way should GER
tainIy generate. their own electricity AS
the farmer explained his work 1t was
very reasonable as to expense.
AS to home work, We should study
to save steps. and have plenty of water
close TO the kitchen, and fuel dry and
plentiful for the stove. As l live IN
town I use gas for cooking as 1t Is
cleaner than wood or coal, as am
situated. / put a quarter of doliaf
i'm the slot meter at time and Wheh
I-get ready to boil or bake, J turn on
the gas. and there YOU are. NO ashes,
no dirt. and no trouble to manage. IT

dry nine to burn. But fix things SO

pistol shooting has its twin mate in
liouor drinking. One should be curoed

afflicted our state; and the time Is
near at hand when one will not be safe
TO walk the streets. or travel the coun-
try roads. unless liquor drinking can
be divorced from indiscriminate pistol
practice.
The failure of Georgia officials to
arrest those who sell liquor in Georgia
where statewide prohibition has hao
legal force fully eight years, has IN
ficted stain on Georgia's good name
and done immense harm thereby TO oui
nrogress and prosperity. The law is
auito good enough, but the trouble lies
in the failure of officials to perform
their sworn duty, and lax Legislature
