Drivers and chauffeurs Who Are In
Habit Of Doing This, VIII be
Fined II They Continue
the Practice.
ORDINANCES ARE PLAIN
Assessment Of IS for Each Offense
May be Made and tho Next
Driver to Violate the Law
viii be Arrested.

Running over fire hose Is an act
that is punishable under the laws OF
the city, yet there are some drivers
and chauffeurs in Keokuk who seem
to have forgotten the fact. The fire
department is suffering considerable
damage at every fire on account of
this practice, and the department Off
Gals are going to put an end to It.
they say.
This morning with four lines OF
hose stretched at the two fires. drivers
of horse drawn vehicles and OF auto
mobiles deliberately drove over the
hose. This might have caused the
hose to burst and as 1t was, made
trouble for the fremen handling the
lines.
The ordinance which covers this
phase of the matter very distinctly de-
fines the situation and provides for
penalties Of IS for every offense. 1t
Is section fourteen of chapter nineteen
of the general ordinances, and says:
"If any person shall knowingly or
willfully drive any wagon. cart, stage,
coach, or any other carriage or We
hicle over, upon or across any hose
while in use, such person offending
shall for each and every such offense
forfeit and pay fine of not less than
five nor more than ten dollars unless
permission is granted by the chief or
assistant chief
It would be well for those people
who either for effect or unwittingly,
drive across fire hose in the future, to
desist from such practices.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most. soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1kali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain nul-
siied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt and
dantruff.

Daily Stock Letter.

[ United Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Wall street is rapidly drawing 10
the point where it will welcome any
kind of news that will put a period 10
the uncertainty now prevailing, even
though the whole situation must re-
solve itself into an ultimate state of
war. Affairs at the present time
could scarcely be more disturbing.
Not only are the stock and bond mar
kets the prey of every idle runIor
but those engaged in financial enter
prises do not know which way 10
turn and the result is practical stag

1t is argued, not without some show
of reason that if the kaiser and his
ministers had wanted to force the Is,

matter a week ago to have made a
mistake" that could only lead to
war between the two countries.
It Is surprising. therefore, that

and a brick stable in the rear OF the

fires that started almost simultane-
ously this morning The alarm from
the Moseley home was turned IN
about 1O:30 o'clock and few min
utes later the second alarm came In
and the firemen had their hands full
in taking care of both blazes.
The fire at the Moseley home
started from an overheated flue be-
tween the ceiling of the second story
and the roof, and the blaze was prac-
tically confined to this part OF the
:.ouse. The roof of the dwelling Is
destroyed and the rear Of the house
damaged to some extent. Some OF
the furnishings were damaged by
water but were not burned as the fire
was under control before II got be-
low the roof.
Chemicals were used on the IRE
while the hose was being laid. One
line was run from the truck and the
Tenth street laid another line. Tne
loss has not been estimated but 1t
will be considerable. 1t is covered
The fire in the Ewers stable was
from an unknown cause. Both the
Tenth and Sixth street departments
were at the Moseley fire when the
alarm came in. The Tenth street,
after laying line Of hose at the
latter place, responded to the second
alarm. The first main to which hose
was attached was frozen and 1t was
necessary to go block farther up.
The West Keokuk reel also attached
a line of hose and the fire was soon
under control. The blaze started in
hay in the second story Of the stable,
which is a brick building. The roof
was burned off and stalls and wood
work inside destroyed. The loss Is
covered by insurance.
It was formerly the custom TO
have the West Keokuk reel come to
the Sixth street engine house when
the other two departments were re-
spending to fire alarm on this side
of the city. This practice, however.
was discontinued some time ago. at
the order of the commissioner OF
public safety.
Fire Chief Anderson is Of the opin-
ion that had the West Keokuk reel
been at the central station today
when the second alarm came in, the
confusion that resulted would not
have been present and the depart
ments would have been able to cope
with the double alarm in a mucn
more efficient manner. AS 1t was the
firemen were caught between the two.
