BEATS INTENDED LAW;; GETS PERMITS FUR
 CHEAP STRUCTURES

There will be at least twelve struc- lures on North Central avenue of the class objected to by /ari0us property owners and citizens who are anxious that that section of the city shall be De2utlfled rather than made common place. Mrs. Hattie Mosher, who al- ready has erected five so- called sheds, has three under construction and holds permits for two others, yesterday al- tered the plans for an additional two so that they now comply with the pres ent building ordinances and secured permits for their erection from City Building Inspector Herbert J. Mann.
 When Mrs. Mosher appeared at the office of Inspector Mann yesterday and announced that she had decided to comply with the building ordinance and construct -inflammable roof over the proposed structures. there was nothing left for that official to do but to issue the permits for which she formally applied Another week and the district would probably have been included in the special fire limits where such class of construction is not per mitted.
 The city commission at its regular meeting on Wednesday listened to the reading of a proposed ordinance amending the present special fire limits ordinance and then discovered that the measure carried an emergency clause. As there were but three members of the commission present and as emer- gency measures require a four-fift vote, action was deferred to the next meeting n the hope that four members could be rallied for the adoption of the measure.
 The sentiment expressed at the com mission was such as would lead any person to believe that the adoption of the measure was foregone conclusion. It was not surprising, therefore, to h. spector Mann that Mrs. Mosher. who must have known that in order to see her plan carried out she would have to hurry, took the first opportunity to present formal application for per- mits which she knew would not be denied.
 Even though the commission does adopt the measure now before wthat body, it is the opil,fon of Inspector Mann that Mrs. Mosher has thwartet the city fathers in their efforts to keep such structures from Central avenue.

TEMPERANCE NOTES
GETS HER FIRST PAIR OF NEW

tan Temperance Union.)

GETS HER FIRST PAIR OF NEW
SHOES.
"Gee, but I'm glad the town went
dry! / hope it will never be wet
again."
Thus spoke a little girl, thirteen
years old, TO the superintendent OF
settlement work in Waukegan, Ill.
This girl is wearing her first pair of
new shoes purchased by her father.
During all her life she had worn the
cast-of shoes of others.
The superintendent stated that a
domestic tranquility had settled down
upon the foreign quarter that was
truly delightful When the town was
under the old saloon order of things
there was scarcely a night that the
settlement workers were not called
upon to settle some family row caused
by drink. Now the men stay at home
and romp with their children or play
the concertina. On half-holidays you
see them improving their property,
painting the house, repairing the
fence, or working in the garden.
many boy was sent away to the re-
form school, but not one boy has gone
down the line since the saloon has
been dethroned.
The people are buying more and bet
ter food and clothing. The groceries
and furniture stores report an increase
of so per cent more trade since booze
was eliminated. The factories report
very few men not able to be on the
job on Monday. The men are more
efficient and turn out more products.
The wire mill has raised the wages of
it's employees twice since the saloons
went on the junk pile.
The president of one bank states
that bank deposits have increased over
million dollars since the city
climbed on the water chariot.-The
