And there Is one reason
back of the flood of outgoing
mail that pours into the post
office every day-they write
letters because they want to
get letters.
Mail-time is the tense mo-
ment of the day. so tense that
the men are willing to admit
their eagerness.
They joke and sing to COW
er their nervousness as they
wait in line outside the vac
cination tent. They pretend
to be grouchy when they are
homesick.
But camouflage is thrown
aside at mail-time. They
want mail and they don't care
who knows 1t.

GENERAL ALARM OF
FIRE IN KEYP0RT
Entire Borough Apparatus
Called to Meadow Fire That
Threatens Houses in West
Keyport.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Feb. 14.-On Monday af-
ternoon general fire alarm was sent
out, the entire borough apparatus re-
spending, when the meadows in the
rear of the Washington street residen-
ces at West Keyport, became on fire.
The flames started in the underbrush
and spread quickly, threatening the
houses of Myhil Bacon, the Hellinger
house, the Percy Heyer cottage and
the Picketts house.
The blaze was attributed to the fact
that some wor<men in the meadows
had carelessly thrown a lighted match,
thus setting the dry brush on fire.
When the fire engines arrived, the
flames were under control and were
extinguished by the residents without
the help of the fire department.
This was the first fire at which the
new auto truck owned by the Lincoln
Engine company responded. The COM
pany made excellent time, going from
their engine house at East Keypor
to the scene of the fire in a remark
ably short time.
The truck recently purchased by the
Eagle Hose company is fast nearing
completion at the shop of Clarence
Dufour and will be ready for service
in short time. When this is done,
the borough will have three auto
trucks of the latest approved design,
namely Liberty, Lincoln and Eagle
hose companies. It. is quite possible
that within a short time other COM
panies of the borough will purchase
auto trucks.
