GIANT GROWS FAT
ON PAYING BLOCKS
He Chews Them Up Just as
Though They Were Deli
cious Mushrooms.
LAD LAYS THE BRICK FAST
By A. R. GRoH.

A giant has been sitting at Fifteenth
and Jones streets for several weeks,
eating Belgian blocks" those big
Sioux Falls granite paving stones.
He just loved paving stones. He
would eat 'em all day long, crunching
them like boy eating lemon drops.
Now he has eaten them all up and
has gone somewhere else to find some
more to eat.
The giant was giant stone crusher.
HIS presence there was part OF a plan
for city effi-(no, no, let's not use that
threadbare, hackneyed word. hate
the sound and sight Of it, don't YOU'D
His presence there was part OF plan
of city good management.
The Belgian blocks, you must know,
had served for many years as the paw
ing of Jones street from Fourteenth
10 Sixteenth street. They were taken
up and piled at Fifteenth and Jones
streets.
Two big items in the new paving
were, first to haul these old paving
stones away and, second, to buy and
deliver on the ground several hundred
tons OF crushed stone to make the con-
crete base for the new paving.
Hard to Crush.
If they could only break up those
paving blocks into crushed stone! But
paving blocks are very, very, oh, very,
very. very hard. They aren't very
crushable. :,
The worn-out paving blocks weren't
afraid of being crushed. They sat
there in their piles in the vacant lots
and seemed to laugh at the city oi
Omaha. at would take thousand
men a thousand years to crush US,
they said. -.
And then along came the big, stolid-
looking contraption and was set up
in the street. Then the gasoline en-
gine was geared on to it. Then a
dozen men with wheelbarrows began
hauling the paving blocks up and
dumping them into the giant.
"Ker-bump- -bump-kr-r-r-ash, ker-
ash, ker-ash."
Has Powerful Jaws.
The giant began crunching with his
powerful jaws. Each poor paving
block was cracked into thousand
little pieces. The endless belt car.
ried the pieces rapidly away and
dumped them into a fve-ton truck
which hauled them off and dumped
them in the street, where later they
were mixed with cement and made
the concrete foundation for the new
brick paving.
Those hundreds Of tons Of crushed
Belgian blocks are now part OF the
concrete foundation Of the new paw
ing and a gang of men is laying the
vitrifed brick on top.
That young colored man certainly
can lay brick. He. e.places seventy a
minute. as timed by my trusty Inger-
soil. 1t takes dozen men to keep
him supplied with bricks.
And who is this man bossing the
paving job? Why, it's Charlie Fam
ming, our postmaster, who thus util-
ICES his golden spare moments.

Savannah Robinson, or Mrs. Me Dowell," as she doesn't like to he called, is again sojourning in the city jail. Savannah has made many visits to that institution, bat this is the first time on record that she came voluntarily. At that, she didn't come to stay; she just came in to see if "Mistah Cah would go down and rest that wuthless nig- ger. Frank Mcdowell, for beatin' me up.'
 "Mistah Cah.' which translated means Mir. Griggs Carr. night captain of police, wanted to know more about the ffacas in which Savannah was beaten up.

 At this juncture in came Frank him self Did you beat up Savannah, here?" asked Captain Carr
 "Yessir,' came the reply, "l did. l have been doing everything l can think of to keep her out of trouble, but she goes down to Adeline's and I can't spend all my time keeping her out of jail 1 told her that she would get put in jail if she hung around there, and she started to cuss me out I was at Adelne's fixing a door for her when along comes Savannah. 1 told her to go up town and get her something to eat and she said she wouldn't: that she wanted her clothes and then she would go home I told her to come on and would take her home. but she wouldn't, so I took off my belt and started to lick her.

PROSECUTIONS

More prosecutions for violation of game laws took place in Arizona last year than ever before. according to Mrs. Maybelle Craig acting game warden. The increase was due. she stated, to added protection to various game ani- mals and birds. as well as the fact that the game WaTdens department was more active than in any previous year.
 ''Intr0ducing the various game laws in the state has been largely a matter Of education" declared Mrs Craig. "AriZonians until the last two or three years. have always been free to lill as much game as they desired at any time they desired. As a result. game legis- lation has been q hard matter in the state and it has only been within the past year or 90 that results have been real noticeable
