RESERVES GET REVENGE.
Defeat Colo High in Return Game by
Score of SO to 26.

Score Of SO to 26.
Revenge for the defeat at Colo a
few weeks ago was secured Friday
evening by the Marshalltown high
school reserves, who scored a 3s-to-26
victory over the Colo high school bas-
ketball five, in return game at the
high school gymnasium. The local
team showed a great reversal Of form
and the team was strengthened by the
presence of Shannon, at center. The
team work of the reserves proved too
strong for the visitors, who were han
dicapped by the extent Of the field,
being accustomed to playing on a small
floor. The visitors had the advantage
Of weight the team as a whole being
larger than the reserve five.
Captain Bowman played a stellar
game for the reserves, shooting bas-
kets from all positions. The defensive
work of Mack was good, and Shannon,
Cord and Norton played a steady
game, their team work being excellent
Hand, of Colo, was the mainstay Of
the visiting team, and he counted six
teen Of Colos twenty-six points. At
the end of the first half Marshalltown
evenly contested as Colo became &C
Customed to the depth Of the playing

"a CHARIOT OF FLAME"

Not until it got unc omfortably warm
did Christ Dahl, Wilbur Fletcher and
Frank Foyer who were driving in F. D.
Minium's car last Wednesday morning,
become aware of the fact that the car
was on fire. In spite OF their efforts
to save the machine they were successful
only in saving the front wheels and the
engine. The balance was complete
loss and Mr.. Minium figures that the
damage will amount to between $3.50
and $500 without insurance. Mr.. Minium
says that because it was Tin Lizzie
he did not think it would burn and there
fore failed to take out any insurance
The accident happened about two
miles south of Sleepy Eye while the
party was on their way to do some sur
vey work on County ditch No. SO.
They were driving right into the wind
and for that reason they did not notice
that the car was on fire until the seat
became warm. A part was broken of
some time ago and not repaired and it
is believed that the exhaust from the
rnuf1er set the extra casing on the bacl
of the car on fire and that from there
the fire spread to the top which wa:
down and then to the woodwork.

had TO he SO varied in design as to be attractive
the difficulty of the task will be better understood
and appreciated
To get the needed variety and yet conform to
the general plan the architect hit upon the unique
idea of having small-scale drawings made on pieces
of cardboard for different parts of house-one
for the middle, one for the right corner, one for
the left etc BY combining these slips like chill
dren's picture blocks so to form whole group
house. surprising variety of combinations was
obtained. As soon as particularly attractive COM
binations were made they were photographed, and
it is these selected combinations which will appear
again and again at Yorkshp when the village Is
completed, yet they will be 50 arranged as to
cause no monotony Of effect.
In addition to the varied types of houses there
were also developed about dozen different types
of porches. Then in order to add still further to
the variety, gable roof was designed for one
group of houses fiat roof for another roof like
the ones in the old Colonial houses of Salem Mass,
for still another, and on No less than seven
different kinds Of roofing materials have been en-
ployed, including new one which gives an inter
estng effect as of an old-fashioned ribbed copper
or red tin roof and does 1t successfully that 1t
takes an expert to tell the difference.
Towns such as Yorkship undoubtedly will have
IN excellent effect on our workers. AS antidOte
10 bolsheyism they should prove most efieaciouS.
1t is impossible to imagine any man being discOn-
tented when his government is modifying the best
talent in the country to provide for his comfort.
At the offices of the Emergency Fleet corporation
there are acres of desks at which the best housing
experts in the country are busiy engaged in evolv-
ing the best of housing plans. The architectural
profession is being combed for town planners, and
the government is looking all the time for the
most distinguished engineers and the men most
learned IL public utilities. and employing them at
no more than living wage to give the workers
every comfort and all the beauty of home sur
rorndings that can possibly be obtained. To Illus
trate how this is all being done at low cost un-
known before. 1t may be stated that architects
employed on such work are charging only one
sixth of the fees which they would charge under
ordinary conditions IN times Of peace.

BULGARIA SEEKS
SEPARATE PEACE
APPLICATION TO BRITISH FOR
ARMlsTIcE Is REGARDED Sc.
RloUs EFFORT FOR PEACE.
BULGARIA IS AT THE END
Fall Of Strumnitsa Threatens EnVelop-
ment Of Bulgars-More Prisoners
Are Taken-Aiiies Advance SIS
Miles In Macedonia.

London. - The British government
received from an official authorized
source an application from Bulgaria
for an armistice.
The application is regarded as q
serious movement and contrary to the
report from German sources of the
armistice move there is no suggestion
that it is the action of Premier Mali
noff on his own initiative. The re-
quest, which is addressed to the al
lies, is for an armistice for the discus
sion Of peace.
In these circumstances any official
view of the matter is not forthcoming,
but the view was expressed in well ia
formed quarters that any peace With
Bulgaria would have prodigious ef
feet and in connection with what Is
happening In Palestine would have
profound effect on Turkey.
1t would free the entire Salonil@
army and in certain eventualities
which concern Turkey would free Mes
opotamia and Palestine forces. 1t al
so would leave the way open to the
Black Sea, for it is regarded that the
opening of such way would be an
essential condition for peace with Bui-
garia. Moreover, it would block the
chief German route to the east.
From the purely military viewpoint
the granting Of an armistice to Bulga-
ria it is considered would be such a
great advantage to her that it could
not be granted without severe condi-
lions, such as possibly the evacuation
of Servia.
| The British forces on the Macedo-
MAN front have captured the Bulga-
rian city of Strumnitsa.
This is taken to show the rapid de-
velopment Of the allied development
movement by which it is hoped the
Serbs by a quick thrust to the north
east will cut off the Eulgarians who
are being hard pressed by the British
On the Bulgarian front.
Servian troops were reported to
have captured Kochana, about Il
miles from the Bulgarian border op-
| posite kuStendll.
| In the successful continuance of
their drive northward the Servians
have entered Ishtib and captured 9TH
er important points, says the Serviaa
official statement.
A great number of additional Bull
garians and Germans nave been cap
tured by the Servians, who also have
taken enormous quantities of war ma
terials.
The Servians now are west OF the
Ishtib-Veles road and have captured
the height of Bogoslovets, south of the
road. North of Deinirkapu in the d.
rection OF the Bulgarian border the
Serbs have captured the ridge of Bell
Kamen.
| The Servian official statement an
nounces that Servian cavalry have
reached a point IS miles, as a crow
flies, north of the line from which the
| offensive was started.
The Indications in the news from
Bulgaria recently have been that the
I. country was in a somewhat disorgan-
ICED state with widespread discomfort
manifest over the prolongation OF the
| war, in the further prosecution OF
which the Bulgarian people We're able
/: to see little advantage to them. There
! can be no doubt that the successful
offensive OF the allies now in progress
in Macedonia has accentuated this
tendency.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Philadelphia Board Of Trade Asks Sec
rotary Baker to Cooperate In
Construction.

The Philadelphia Board of Trade
has asked the cooperation of Secre-
tary of War Baker In obtaining a ma
tional system of highways to accommo-
date the large and growing motortruck
traffic. This method Of transportation
has done much to solve the congestion
on the railroads, but men all over the
country agree that our craZy-Quilt road
system has impaired the efficiency of
the motortrucks at least 40 per cent.
It Is estimated that the 100000 motor
trucks In the country are used to only
60 per cent of their capacity; or, in
other words, If $4,000 motortrucks
were used to their full capacity we
would be obtaining as much service as
we are now getting out of 100000.
At the last meeting Of the Philadel-
phia Board Of Trade, Miers Busch,
chairman Of the municipal affairs COM
mittee, advocated q national system OF
motor roads extending from Boston to
Washington, made Of concrete and
wide enough to accommodate four or
five lines of vehicles. This report was
sent to all of the councils Of defense
In the different states along the Allan
tic coast, to the governor of each state,
to the United States Chamber Of Com
merce, to the war industries board and
to b. nj. Baruch, chairman of the war
industries board; and they were asked
to cooperate with this body in having
congress adopt such a system as war
measure, and to have this system put
into immediate operation.

Because Of the advances In wages and

Therefore, there Is urgent need that

May Festivities

The May OF merrie England before the Puritan
blight fell upon the land is thing Of joyous mem
CRY. 1t recalls the maypole with its attendant
maidens dancing about 1t. doing homage to their
queen OF the May. Even Puritanism did not en-
trely put end to these celebrations for the May
festival survived here and there, and was even
transplanted to New England by certain recall
citranfs, as the chronicles Of Morton at Merry
mount testify.
May festivals have been held In many New Eng
land towns all the way down toward the present
time and the custom has not yet wholly died out.
