GIRL PLAYING With COML CLUB Will
MATCHES, BURNED PROMOTE SWIM POOL
Plan Endorsed Unabim. usIy at
Informal Meeting Following
Banquet Last Night.

The swimming pool was unanimous
ly indorsed at an informal meeting
held last night by the members of the
Commercial Club, following the BAN
quet. The matter was put before the
club by President Leming after E. ].
Deal, who, with Mr.. Leming, has re-
vived the matter since the ladies of
the Civic Improvement Association an
nounced they had dropped the project.
In a short address to the members
of the club, Mr.. Deal pointed out the
necessity of swimming pool and ex-
pressed regret at the fact that the
Civic Improvement Association had
met with such obstacles as to force
them to abandon the proposition. Mr..
Deal said he and the president Of the
club had outlined plans for the es-
tablishment of a pool which would be
constructed in the Fairgrounds Park.
Following the address of Mr.. Deal,
the president made motion that the
club indorse the swimming pool. Not
a dissenting vote was given The ac-
tion of the Commercial Club was
greeted by the ladies of the Civic I'M
provement Association who were
present with loud handclapping.
After the motion had been passed
Arthur c. Bowman, one Of the bitter
est opponents of the plans of the Civic
Improvement Association, explained
why he had opposed the swimming
pool, He said he was heartily in IA
vor Of the pool, but had opposed the
plans of the ladies because of the To-
cation selected by them for the pool.
He believed that the Fairgrounds was
the most suitable place for it.
Two months ago the Civic Improve
ment Association received an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the construction
of the swimming pool on a vacant lot
at the corner Of Lorimier and William
streets. Bowman opposed the plan
as the representative of several ladies
who own several lots near this corner
and who contended that the sv-immir~
pool would depreciate the value Of
their property. The Civic Improve
ment Association dropped the plan aft
er the members had been threatened
with an Injunction suit by Bowman.
President Leming announced last
night that the swimming pool would
be one of the first enterprises the
Commercial Club would give it's at
tention to after the membership cam
paign had been completed. An archi-
tect will be consulted to draw the
plans for the pools and give an esti-
mate of the cost before the matter is
definitely passed on by the CONNER
cial Club.

With Clothes AblaZe Runs Out
in Street-Burned from
Head to Foot

A tragic spectacle was presented to
the residents of Haarig yesterday aft
.ernoon when Bern;ce Eaves, the 6-year
old daughter of Wilson Eaves, was
seen running down the street with her
clothes ablaze and screaming for help.
The child was burned from her feet
to her head, and only through the
presence of mind of several men VINO
were near the house, the child was
saved from death. According to the
attending physician, the condition of
the child is serious, but not fatal.
Little Bernice, her younger sister,
Emile, and her brother, Paul, were
playing in the back yard of their home
yesterday afternoon while the mother
was in Haarig grocery store pur-
chasing food for supper. According to
the story told by the children, they
found box of matches under the rear
porch, and began to light them, when
the little girls clothing were ignited.
The child ran out into the street
and started north on Frederick street,
but was overtaken about $50 feet from
the home of the parents who live at
Frederick. between William and Good
Hope street. Councilman Medley,
James Gill of Fornfelt and James
Clark, switchman, ran to the girls
assistance and threw blankets, which
Mr.. Medley had in his bus, around
the child, smothering the flames.
Practically ell of the clothing was
burned from her body.
The little girl was carried to the
Wasem drug store. where she was
treated. The physician found that she
had been seriously burned. Her hair
was burned off and parts of her body
was almost cooked. After applying
soothing remedies, the physician re-
moved the child to her parents home
Mrs. Eaves was still in the grocery
store when she heard of the accident
and ran to her home. When she reach
ed the house. the men had ex-;neuisli-
ed the flames and removed tho burn
ing clothing from the child's body.
Mrs. Eaves said she could not OK
plain how the matches happened to be
under the porch. She believes thev
were either put there to poison mice
or had been left there by the painters
who worked on the house week ago.
The father of the child is employed
at the shoe factory.

 According to the publishers state
 ment, 3,SO0,0O0 copies of Ramona" have been sold since the printing of the first edition of 1884. As the sec
 ond and third generations are now
 reading the copies purchased during the first decade, it is a conservative estimate that each of the 3,S00,000 volumes has been perused by six per sons. This brings the total number of readers we'll past the twenty mil lion mark. Public library statistics further attest the remarkable hold the novel has on Americans. In Los An geles, 330 copies have been in constant Tn the main and branch libraries-eleven times as many as any other book at any time, including even best sellers" at height of their vogue Cleveland has purchased 222 copies altogether. Of these, 126 have been worn so threadbare that they have been withdrawn from circulation leaving 96 copies in constant use. Similar reports come from other libraries As for Clune's cinema pro- duction, 10000 people saw it during the first ten weeks of its run in LOS Angeles. These figures have been duplicated in San Francisco. New York, Chicago, Denver and other cities where is has been exhibited dur ing the half year of its existence, and it is estimated that the total attend ance has passed the 2,0O0,OOO mark.

 ARMY OF 100000
Continued From Page One)

(Continued From Page One) ing 500 900 men would be roughly $156, 1000.
 As to the measures necessary for increasing the army in an emergency Senator Chamberlain said that under existing law the Presidet is author ized to increase the standing army to it's war strength of 27O.OOO, or with auxiliaries aggregating a regular force of about 30O,O00. The war strength of the national guard was estimated at about 44O,OOO with all forces fully enlisted. Thus combine the senator said, trained army of nearly three quarters of a million men could be provided without action by congress.
 Want Supplies for Million
 When the regular army appropria- tion bill reaches the senate, Senator Chamberlain said he thought it would be increased without specific request from the war department, at least sufficiently to provide material necessary for an army of 100000 men.
 A change planned by the war de partment in the supply bill is to short .en the tim efor accumulation of re- serve materials for the army The present bill provides for their pur- chase over a period of from four to five years, and the department is planning to ask funds for this pur- pose be made immediately available.
