FACE CALAMITY
AS FIRES BURN
Need of Larger Department and
Better Protection for Moline
Shown by Two B,azes.

Moline yesterday afternoon faced
a calamity, one averted only be-
cause of an element of luck.
At Ais telephone calf summon
ed the fire departments of the city
TO the Lutheran hospital. All three
departments made the run for hos
pital fires present grave possibili-
ties. Enter the element of good
luck. The fire was in the nurses
home, and not the hospital building
proper. Sparks from the chimney
had set fire to the roof. After a rath-
er stubborn resistance the blaze
was eXtinguished.
No. 2 department in, returning to
the station passed the rectory of
Rev. John B. Culeman, 1904 Six
teenth avenue, the roof of which
was burning. A faulty chimney was
again responsible for the fire.
Occupants of the rectory had sent
in an alarm from a nearby box, IN
answered because all three fire sta
lions were deserted.
The time was 4 :45, but a half hour
later than the call sent in by the
hospital. The fire departments had
received no word of the fire at the
rectory and it was but a stroke of
god fortune that the No. 3 truck
passed that way on its return to the
station.

ARE PERPLEXED
ON JUDGE CASE
City Commissioners Thought Wom-
en- Gould Serve at Election and
Now They Don't kAow.

viii Moline women be permitted
to serve as election officials at the
primaries on March IL and at the
election of April Is? Yesterday it
was thought they would: today no
one will venture to make a state
ment either to the contrary or to
the same effect as was stated yes
terday,
I don't want to fight in the
courts If | am elected" said a can
didate for nomination at the city
primaries at the city hall today. IF
the presence of women officials will
inyalidatc the election, they should
he replaced by men" And then the
confusion resulted. The city of
ficials refused to comment with ref
erence to the women official matter.
The question has been referred to
City Attorney James Johnston by
Mayor Clarence S. Trevor and if the
attorney decides that it is all right
for the women to serve, the mayor
will be satisfied and the election
work will proceed with the % wOm-
en- appointed performing their
tasks, according to statement
made by the mayor today.
If it is held that women can not
serve. men are to be appointed to
fill the vacancies. But the matter at
present hangs in the balance.

munity service committee of the
Moline Commercial club. which is
sponsoring the Boy Scout drive.
twenty-five thousand dollars is
estimated to be sufficient TO nnance
scout activities for a period of two
years and it is probable that the
campaign workers will be request
ed to go after that amount. Equip

the Boy Scout work. would be pos

on, it is pointed out.
There is every indication in Mo-

have little trouble in securing any
amount wanted because of the past

ment that he would not work at the
