Without Water Supply.

February for eight hours the entire
suburb was without the District water
supply. E. ]. Newcomb stated that this

TO any one, and resulted in damage to
many heating plants Upon his sug-
gestion the association voted to ask
the Commissioners to see that such a
condition was not permitted to exist
again without due warning
1t was also brought out that the sup
ply was cut off because of needed re-
pairs. and that notice could have been
given. To even prevent the necessity
OF shutting off the entire supply, a re-
quest Will also be made that the two
large tanks, one at Congress Heights

while repairs are being made.

Street Car Service Criticised.

A. E. Mckay criticised street car
service.
TT is a crying shame and disgrace
for any community to have such condi-
tions as we people Of Congress Heights
have" he said. These cars that oper-
ate to the steel plant are not fit for
woman to get in.
Where is the health department.
where are the Commissioners and
where is the police department to per-
init such conditions to exist? They have
stopped running through cars at time
when the residents of this suburb need
them most, thus requiring most of our
people to take the steel plant cars if
they want to get to the city.
Il tell you it is high time that we de-
mand that this filthy. insanitary, vul-
gar condition be stopped. If the au-
thorities are powerless to act, then we
citizens will have to take the matter
in our own hands, but the thing must
be wiped out"
THE conductor has absolutely no con-
troll over these men who work at the
steel plant" complained Mr.. Bender
The men smoke and chew tobacco as
they please inside the cars. When you
appeal to the conductor to put a stop
to it he is afraid and will do nothing"
The secretary was directed to wrioe
letters to every one concerned.
Mr.. Mckay called attention to the
request of the government to provide
housing facilities for government
clerks He said that with such car serv-

Youth" is a story of the love of youth
for youth-that law which has con-

other is sorrowful. Orlando Guise and
his mother, a frivolous old lady, are
the joint owners of large ranch near
that of the Mazarines. When Louise
looks into Orlando's laughing eyes one
day for the first time, her spirit is
wholly alive for she feels that the
eternal call of youth to youth. Joel
Mazarine shortly after is attacked near
his ranch with robbery as motive
and through the intervention of Or

The Chinese servant of Mazarine, old

his master of being in league with the
lovers, and it is he who receives the
cruel blows of the whip when Joel
