FOURTH TEACHER BE EMPLOYED
 BY BOARD

Because of the increase in the number of pupils at the school and the fact that three teachers are not to handle so large an enroll iment and do justice to all the grades the school board has decided to em- ploy another teacher. This will enable the various classes to have recita- tion periods long enough to meet the requirements of standard schools.
 It has also been found necessary to insist that all children of school age (six years), or who will be of schol age by January l, must enter school 1t once; otherwise, they will not be re- ceived later in the ysar. This applies only to children who are entering school for the first time; children who have attended school heretofore. either here or elsewhere. will be wei come at any time.
 The board also wishes to call the attention of school patrons to the de. cision to regulate school clocks by railroad time, beginning Monday. the l7th inst. thus avoiding confusion that has previously existed

COl lORADO HAS FEMALE FIRE
 DEPARTMENT
(By Associated Pressl

EDGEWATER, Colo. Sept 15. - When the fire bell rings in Edgewater these days the baby is turned over to a neighbor for safe keeping, the bread is snatched from the oven, sewing is left where it falls, and the fire-women run for their apparatus. In Edge water the women man" the hose reels and climb the ladders.
 The reason is that many of the re- gular firemen, all of whom are volun- teers. are in training at national army encampments, national guard training camps, or elsewhere in the service of the government. The women decided that it was their duty to SC that insur- ance rates did not increase. They drafted all female relatives of the firemen into their general department to answer alarms when needed and the wives of the firemen formed a spe- cial particular band of fire ladies" to do the work their husbands were not there to do.
 So far they have answered four alarms, and have made quick time reaching the scene of the fire in each case. Observers say they have proved that the female of the fire fighting species is just as deadly and much more graceful than the male.

FASHION CUES.
Points About the Very Lat
est Spring Toys Are Here.

Despite all the rumors to the oppo-
site effect, there is a strong directoire
influence in some of the spring suits
and frocks. Especially is this true of
the Paris collection. In the suits this
effect is obtained in the placing Of the
belt and in the size Of the revers. AS
for the materials used, there is a guam
tity of satin and charmeuse besides fig
ured and striped foulard and striped
mousseline. Embroidered chiffon is
used to drape over satin or charmeuse.
There are seen both the barrel and the
draped skirts, while the skirt for the
suit Is narrower and occasionally
plated. Jackets for the two pieced
suits are short, for they reach to the
waist, not even the conservative finger
tip length that had been predicted for
the early spring. These short jackets
frequently show panels Of accordion
plaits and combination of materials,
but in different order from that which
We have been accustomed to-for in
stance, the skirts will be checked ma
terial and the jackets Of plain.
At the southern resorts, for cycling,
which is eminently southern sport, the
suits are most attractive, the skirts
short and the boomers Of the fitted
riding type, and these Of a striped,
checked or blocked material, and the
jacket Of the predominating tone Of
the figured material. The material
used for these sports clothes is home
spun, and this, by the way Of change,
Is quite acceptable and very attrac-
tive. The skirts as often as not are d.
vided, and the knickers are, Of course,
Of the same material.
On all sides we hear of the slip-over
effect of suits and blouses and even
wraps. Organdie and linen make a
southern wear frock on this order.
Top coats come in all the bright new
colors and are most attractive in de-
sign. Some have quite a directoire
effect, while others show belts at the
natural waist line. Velvet ribbon en-
tiers into the trimming of these as well
as the dressier suit a.

STORY OF NARcISSUS.

The daffodils and the jonquils all be-
long to the narcissus family and are
among the first flowers to bloom in our
gardens in the springtime.
These, of course, bought Of man
who sells flowers. They were raised in
a dollhouse.
Daffodils do not grow wild in this
country, though in some parts of south
ern Europe they do.
The name narcissus was given to the
flowers by the Greeks.
They had story about them which
you may like to hear.
Long ago, the Greeks story ran,
there was a handsome lad named Mar
cissus. So beautiful was he that every
one who saw admired him.
Most of his time was spent in wan
dering about the woods and fields
alone. One day he went to the woods
to hunt Tired and thirsty near the
middle Of the day, he looked about for
a place to get drink.
Deep in the forest he found beau
tiful clear, deep pool 1t was shaded
by tall green trees. and the violets that
grew by the water were the most love-
ly and fragrant of their kind.
Narcissus knelt to drink from the
pool, and 10, just beneath his own face
looked up another, a face which he
thought the most attractive he had
ever seen.
There were no mirrors in those days
save the polished silver ones that be-
longed to kings or the rich. The SIM
pie country youth did not know that it
was his own face that he saw looking
up at him out of the water.
Narcissus leaned down and the face
in the water seemed to come closer, but
though he dipped his in the pool he
could not touch the other.
The foolish boy was happy, for he
thought that what he saw in the water
was the nymph or the fairy guardian
of the pool.
But, though he begged the image to
come out of the water and talk to him,
of course it could make no reply. Day
after day Narcissus came to the pool
to gaze at himself in the water. He
forgot to eat, to drink, to sleep and at
last he faded away and died. But he
did not really die, for from his body
sprang a wonderful flower whose gold
en- head hung over the pool as his head
so often had done. The flower was
called narcissus. and, though 1 would
not have you believe this story true,
yet it may help you to remember the
name
