The old sand and gravel in the

News Of the Day in Moline and East Moline
REMOVE HATS AS
FLAG PASSES BY
ASKS EXECUTIVE

In years past Americans have
been rather lax in showing respect
for the flag as It passes on parade
and only g scattering of dotted hats
has been observed among crowds
which line the streets to witness a
procession. This year, however,
brings a change and agitations
throughout tho nation have been
started for proper respect at all
times for the national emblem. The
man this year who fails to remove
his hat when the COloTs go by will
find himself quite alone ald the OBJ
tect of many a scornfuI glance.
In Mayor Carlson's Independ-
ence day proclamation, made pub
lie today, he calls especial attention
to this. The proclamation follows:
Next iFhuTsday is July 4, when
we again celebrate the signing of
the declaration Of independence of
America. This independence gave
tuAUs q new spirit in government
Through all these years this spirit
of equality, liberty are# freedom has
been fostered in these United States
and we are today fighting for the
same ideals and with the same
spirit manifested by our :forefathers
of rs. This spirit and ideals are
symbohBed by our national emblem
the Stars and Stripes We must
all appreciate It's full significance
and meaning to the peoples Of the
world today. Let US show our deep
respect and gratitude for this glor-
ious flag by properly aluting it as
| it passes by during the parade or
at the time Of various exercises
planned for the day, with heads IN
covered, offering a silent prayer
that It may be carried to victory in
this great world war.
(Signed) MARTIN r. CARLSON,
Mayor"

capacity Of car repair man for tire

TWO SPEED COPS
STAGE RACE, SAY
IRATE CITIZENS

Twice last evening DRAG. F.
Johnson, mayor of East Moline,
was called to the telephone and
greeted with complaints which ran
something like this:
Say DIR. Johnson, there's been
two motorcycle cops, one from East
Moline and one from Moline,
tearin' past my house up here on
Seventeenth avenue goin' like mad.
/ can't see how they have any more
right to endanger pedestrians any
more than anybody else. They go
and arrest folks themselves for
speedin'."
The mayor had not had the pleas
ure of Witnessing the Seventeenth
avenue derby and as yet no one has
reported who took the winners cup
but it is safe TO say the same men
who complained would have placed
his bets on the East Moline con-
tender. Someone at the city hall
suggested that the Moline police
man had probably come across the
border to talk motors and that they
both had agreed to test 'em out
Maybe that was the cause of the
race-but evidently some didn't
appreciate the necessity Of test.

Predictions OF a stormy session

was the regular meeting night no
meeting took PLACE.
1t came about this way: Alder

were observed in conference in
front of the Manufacturers State
bank shortly before S o'clock and
later they disappeared inside the
building. Down in the city hall the
clock struck and a few filed in
and took their seats in the council
chamber. After waiting until S:l2

COX faction strolled around, one at
a time. Meetings adjourned"
greeted them at the door, and some
what surprised they gathered out
side and talked 1t over. Alderman
Smith arrived breathlessly. His
flivver had suffered a puncture.
City Attorney G. D. Long was on
hand with a big book that looked as

THUMB TORN Off
"liilam Hare, Moline Lad, Has
Right Hand Painfully Manned
When Cannon Explodes.

A thumb blown off and q hand
torn to shredS were the serious
results of a toy cannon explosion
yesterday afternoon in Moline.
William Hare, aged II, was the vic
TIM OF the accident, the first pre-
Fourth of July mtshap = to be re
ported in Moline this year.
The lad was experimenting with
the toy about Gas yesterday after
noon and told the police that he
transferred powder from a fire
cracker to the cannon and was in
the act of ranming it in when the
explosion occurred A fuse was
not yet attached His right thumb
was torn away and the hand was
literally blown to ribbons. Consid-
cradle loss of blood resulted and
muscles and tendons were painfully
torn He IS now under the care Of
DR.. p. H Vessel, Jr., in the Moline
city hospital, The boy lives with
his aunt, Mrs. Bertha NJ. Sills, 723
Fourteenth avenue.
1t is to be hoped that this unfor-
tunate experience will serve as a
warning to other lads in the city,
who in direct' violation Of the city
ordinance are continuing to use eX-
plosiyes. Much has been said this
year in favor o ia Fourth minus
explosives and the commissions of
the twin-cities have ruled against
them. Lack of enforcement of the
rule. however, is distinctly audible
during the entire day. The MAIN
ing Of a youths hand by explosives
this year is even more to be de-
plored than ordinarily and should
have an effect upon curbing ttHs in
sane form of celebration.

MOLINE HAS ONLY
TWO FIRE HOUSES

True to their word, members OF
the Moline city commission yester-
day ordered the closing Of two fire
stations. But No. station at Third
avenue and Fifth street did not
close. No. on the Fifteenth street
bluff and No. in the east end were
the ones which went out of bust
ness. Third avenue manufacturers
created so much disturbance when
the city announced the closing o.
the downtown station that the
commissioners evidently thought
better Of it and closed the resi-
Dental district station instead.
Three men OF the department have
been retired and eight have been
dismissed. Only Is men remain.
The Central station and the Third
avenue station are the only ones
now open in the entire city. There
were never more than four stgtOns.
