PLENTY OF GARAGES.

April appears to be a banner
month for builders of garages and
sellers of motor vehicles in Moline.
Records of C. J. Mattson, building
inspector, show that until this
month only eight permits for con-
struction of garages have been is
sued by this office. The construc-
ton of houses is still moving along
rather slowly. Only four permits
for residences, half the number for
garages were issued during the
first half of this month. There
were a total of 81 building permits
issued during the first 16 days of
April. With exception of those
noted above they were for addi-
tions, repairs or for minor building
operations. Mr.. Mattson issued ope
permit for a chicken house.

and the other was driven down out OF
control.

Then, seeing two big enemy airplanes,
he attacked them until his ammunition

came home. Probably he will be mildly
disciplined for disobeying orders
An American observation machine had
a narrow escape while directing artil-

when one fell on camoufaged ammuni.
