MAKE COAST|NG SAFE
FOR PULLMAN CHILDREN
Committee Recommends That Sev.
eral Streets BE Closed to Traffic
During Certain Hours

At the meeting Of the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday the matter of
providing safe places for coasting
was brought up by the Rev ]. W.
Caughlan. He asserted that under
existing conditions fatal accidents
are almost a certainty and urged that
certain streets be set aside for coast
ing and closed to other traffic. \
warm discussion followed, several
taking the position that if the city
should designate certain streets for
cOastng it would be liable for dam
ages for any accidents occurring on
such streets. MIR. Caughlan retorted
that il would be far better for the
city to pay such damages than for
one or more children to be killed on
account of the Indifference of the
men and women of the city
President Allen appointed J. n.
Emerson, w. c. Kruegel and Rev.
]. w. Caughlan as a committee to
investigate the whole matter and
report at the next meeting. This
committee met Tuesday evening and
decided to make the following
recommendations;
On College hill that Opal street
and Maiden Lane from Montgomery
street to Spalding street be closed
from $3.50 p. m. to $50 p. m. and
during the holiday period from
| 1920 a. M. to 1900 m. and 100
to $50 p. m. for coasting for the
children Of this hill. That Campus
avenue be closed from 1880 p. NJ. to
T10:00 .. m. for coasting for adults.
| That ropes be stretched and the
street for children coasting be pa
trolled during coasting hours. That
coasting be allowed anywhere on
Military hill except the lower end OF
State street. That Spring street be
reserved from the top of Methodist
hill to Main street, the hours being
the same as on College hill.

FEDERATED CHURCH
MAY ERECT BUDDING

The inadequacy of the present
quarters occupied by the Federated
church has forced the organization
to seek other quarters and plans are
now on foot for the construction OF a
commodious and well appointed
building at the corner of Ruby and
Montgomery streets, on the 6OxlO0
feet lot recently purchased from A.
ID. Wexler. Six thousand dollars has
already been subscribed toward the
building fund and it is thought thar
no difficulty will be encountred In
raising sum sufficient TO cover the
cost of new structure.
The lot on which it is proposet TO
erect the church building is admir-
ably located for such a purpose, be-
ing almost the exact center of popu-
lation of the city. The church heads
plan for building that can be used
for a community social center. to be
open at all times for the use of the
membership and others.

KLEMGARD WORKING
FOR BETTER GRADE
Quotes Section OF Law Which VIII
Make Possible New Road Ia Tap
of SunnySidr Hin

J. s. KlemGard does not propose to
allow the agitation for better grade
from town to the top of Sunuyside
hill to anguish and at the chamber
brought mp the matter in forceful
speech, He called attention to sec
ton 20 of the law governing perman-
ent highways. which he contended
would apply to the proposed road,
and insisted that the committee in
charge of the matter should take il
up with the county commissioners
without further delay. The cam
paign for this much needed improve
mCnt has dragged because the city
was not in position to stand the ex-
pense entailed in securing the right
or-way, but this problem can appar-
entity be solved by the application
Of the law cited by Mr. Klemgard
which reads as follows:
Sec. 20. Each and every county of
This state is hereby authorized to
build. construct and improve any per
manent highway as same is defined
by Chapter 8 of the Session Laws of
1877 |. through the corporate limits of

upon such streets or other right-of-
way connecting with such permanent
highway in the corporate limits of
such municipality as may be provided
for such purpose by the municipal
authorities, of sufficient width and
appropriate for said purpose.
Where such city or town is unable
to pay for the condemnation of such
rights-of- the county may pay

thorized shall be disbursed and all
such construction, Improvement and

BOARD SAYS NO"
ON ELECTION CLAIMS
commissioners Refuse to Allow Full
Amount of Election RiIls--DIs.
gruntled Officials May Go to
Court to Collect

The courts In all probability will
be called upon to decide whether or
not the county commissioners were
justified in trimming the claims OF
numerous election officials for serv-
ices rendered at the recent general
election. The commissioners at
tempted TO arrive at an equitable
standard upon which to gauge the
pay of the election officials, figuring
a certain number of votes counted as
days work, This system resulted
in cutting down quite materially a
large number of claims for service
on election boards, and with the re-
celpt by the officials of the warrants
in the reduced amounts protests were
hurled at the county heads from
every direction The protests, both
written and oral failed to shake the
confidence of the comm issioners in
the system" employed in fixing the
amounts due each official, and they
steadfastly refused to allow the full
amount Of the claims presented.
J. w Mathews, mayor-elect OF
Pullman, appeared before the board
Monday morning and returned the
warrant issued to his wife. which
included pay for more than day
less than the time put in by her. Mr..
Mathews said he did not doubt that
the commissioners were acting in
good faith, but declined to agree
with them that an equitable stand
ard could be set as a basis for deter
mining the amounts due each elec-
ton board according to the number
of votes counted. Il do not say this
as a threat or bluff" stated Mr..
Mathews, but unless the board sees
fit to allow the full amount of this
claim am prepared to take steps
looking toward a collection of the
full amount. 1t is not the amount of
money involved but simply a matter
Of principle My wife resents the
implication that she 'loafed on the
job, and asked for more than she
earned"
A large number OF similar claims
hings upon the result of the Math-
ews claim, and the case is being
watched with interest

Scientists call the "wishbone" the

are In man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt Of the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature In Its
flight
Few Of us appreciate the strength
of the stroke OF the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break q
mans leg by blow Of Its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings Of
the larger birds are dangerous II they
strike the human head or face. II,
therefore, a large bird is In the habit
of making sudden turns to right or left
In its flight It must be fitted with a
"wishbone" capable Of withstanding
the great strain Of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason we find In the eagle
and birds of Its class that turn quickly
furcula that Is perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the Goth.

"wlshbone" of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula Is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points Of weak.

FIorlda's Curious Sprlna.

Within few miles OF salt water, at
a point not far from Tampa bay. Flori-
da, there Is an immense spring, which
has formed a pool perhaps 100 yards
wide and OF great depth. At times the
waters Of this pool lie clear as the
summer air. gradually deepening into
the green shadows OF Its mysterious
depths. Schools Of great silver tarpon
may then be seen. and they give the
spring Its name Al other seasons Its
waters rise bubbling and gurgling. not
with heat, but from some sudden sub.
terranean pressure. Al such times the
waters OF Lake Butler. a mile away,
are seen TO fall. II Is believed that
there Is some connection between the

Bullock's OrioIe.

Like his eastern relative, the Baltl-
more orlole, this birds chief claim to
fame is his ability as an architect and
builder. They called him Bullock's
oriole, and he is distinguished from
our other orioles by his black throat
and orange cheeks. He Is found from
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas
to the Pacific ocean and from southern
Canada to northern Mexico-that is. he
can be found there five or six months
Fall and winter find him somewhere
In Mexico"
The Bullock's oriole takes kindly to
orchards and is an excellent guardian
for the fruit trees during the blossom
ing season. His favorite morsel Is the
black olive scale, topped OF with a
nice fat caterpillar or two.
Emulating the American Indian, the
male bird refuses to work, and the
tedious task OF weaving and suspend.
ing the nest Is shifted to the female
