One of the most important matters

of houses for rental 1t was brought
out that the Paulsen & lwen Manu-
featuring company lost four men last

matter of providing tenement or
apartment house for Denison and see
if it would not be possible to have
building and loan association here.

Two highwaymen held up and rob-
bed Hans Brodersen Tuesday morn
ing about 1 80 o'clock at the McHenry
crossing west of the city, and relieved
him Of his bill book containing sos
in currency. Temple III. Cowan, age
%, and Frank L. Cowan, age 10, CIV
ing their residence as West Plains, Mo.
have been apprehended by the Off
GERS and are now in the county jail
charged with the crime.
Hans had been in Denison Monday
evening and it was not until after
o'clock that he started for Oakwood
farm, some four miles west of Deni-
son, in his car At the railroad cross
ing near the sand pit man stepped
out in the road and Hans, thinking
1t was some farmer wanting a ride,
stopped the machine. The fellow ask
ed If he was going west and Hans in
vited him to ride.a The fellow got in
to the front seat, but instead of sit
ting down grabbed Hans around the
neck, forcing him over the back of
the seat. At this time the second
,highwayman made his appearance and
went through Hans pockets, relieving
him of his bill book. The two fell
lows jumped out of the machine, start
ing up the road east and Hans drove
back to Denison to notify the, officers.
Marshal Weeks accompanied Hans
down to the North Western station
and there found two men in the wait
ing room. Hans was able to identify
one 'of the men, and Marshal Weeks
placed them under arrest, taking them
out to the machine. For some rea-
son, the marshal turned the two men
over to Hans while he went back to
the station to see the operator, Civ
ing Hans a revolver to cover the men
in his absence, admonishing him not
to shoot unless 1t was necessary. The
marshal had no sooner left than one
Of the fellows bOlted and Hans pulled
the gun on him, telling him he would
shoot unless he stopped. The fellow
did not pay any attention, however,
and Hans pulled the trigger twice but
the gun refused to work. Later it
was discovered that the gun was not
loaded at all. ~
The one man was taken up town
and safely locked in the county Jail,
and Sheriff Green notified Of the es-
cape of the other. It was learned
that man answering to the dessrip-

ton of the escaped highwayman had
visited the Milhek and later had hir-
ed a machine at the Denison Tire
Sales company to take him to Arion.
He was apprehended at the North
Western station at Arion by Sheriff
Green about noon and brought back
to Denison, and is now lodged in jail.
Both men carried considerable mon
ey on them. The fellow taken at Ar
ion had about $4,000, mostly bills, in
his possession, the younger one about
$4,000 They were questioned by the
county attorney yesterday afternoon
and both disclaimed any knowledge
of the hold up. They stated they ar
rived in Denison Sunday from Omaha
and intended to get work on the farm.
Hans is able to identify the man cap
tured at Arion as the fellow who stop
ped him at the McHenry crossing.

The program and auction sale by
the Boys Home Guards on Tuesday
evening was a decided success. The
home mission study book Jack of All
Trades" was reviewed by six of the
boys, each giving in very graphic
way the contents of one chapter. The
program was interspersed with scrip
tural reading and songs similar to
their regular meetings. An auction
sale of food followed and the boys did
their own auctioneering. This created
great deal of fun and rivalry among
the bidders and netted the Home
Guards treasury about $22. Mrs. j.

of the highest praise for the way she

Outlying District May Receive Mail
But Once a Day and Must Pro-
vide Suitable Boxes

There seems prospect that there
will be a number of changes in the
city carrier routes OF Denison. These
were laid out eleven to twelve years
ago, when the city was sparsely set
tied and now that it has increased
some nearly two thousand population,
the carriers have become overloaded
with work. 1t is reported that t 70
special agents of the government were
here in the last week and this may
mean a curtailing of the service by
city carrier in the outlying districts.
1t is the custom of the post office de-
partment to serve parts of the city by
rural carriers. This gives service
once a day and neces states that pat
rons put up an approved box. set in
such way that the rural carrier can
place the mail in it without getting
out of his carriage or auto. In the
case of decision for the city carrier
not to go to a home the patron can
then put up any kind a a box which
he desires on the established route and
receive his mail There may be also
a readius tment of the city boxes where
mail can be deposited 1t is t.be pol

day work any more than 20 ,sible. and
we would not be surprised II the order
came to have no collection of mail on
Sunday afternoon. These changes, if
they come at all, viii take place in
the next four weeks.

he Way the BorIand Street Paving Law Operatea.

There is a law which makes property pay for
half the street paving in front of their properto width
of forty feet
This is the famous Borand law-now marked for
slaughter by the Federation of Citizens Associations
It is another specific example of what taxation without
representation in VOTELESS Washington has done for the
residents of the National Capital.
We pay heavy tax sufficient to all needs.
Then Congress cuts down requests and turns back
millions of dollars Of OUR money to the United States
Treasury.
After we have paid tax and the United States has
taken large part of it. along paving
and indicates he intends to pave street. and
assessed large extra tax for that.
Why not use some of our tax money that we paid to
the city and not suffer this imposition of special taxi
You are taxed once, blanket tax for EVERYTHING.
Then Congress refuses to let you spend it as you
want The Treasury takes from you part of the money you
raised and, in addition, Congress sticks you with SPE
CIAL TAX.
You had nothing to say about that special tax.
1t imposed you for political purposes to benefit
someone in PARKWAY State.
You can't do anything about it even now
But you COULD do something about it if we had
vote here and we WOULD do something about it.
There would have been any such political rckery
played if we had a VOTE.

To The Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t has always been difficult for me
to realize that the Washington Mon
ument is shaft dedicated 20
the memory OF George Washington.
Rather it seems a spectacular feat in
engineering. I am convinced the av-
erage person is impressed more by its
height than he is awed by the SOL
emnity OF its intended symbolism.
I might say nearly the same in re-
gard to the Lincoln Memorial. We
admire its beauty. its architectural
perfection, but we do not associate
Ii with a tall gaunt figure. clad in
ill-fitting garments. Lincoln was a
man of great heart and simple
tastes; his words. his deeds, reach the
depths OF our souls. The memorial is
mere appeal to our senses.
Words, self-sacrifice. great deeds,
acts OF heroism, need no memorial !;
THEY ARE THAT IN THEMSELVES.
and the mere attempt to perpetuats
or symbolic them in artistic or ar
chitectural endeavor seems a sacri-
lege.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlREAA:
Being a war worker in Washing
ton am not very well acquainted
with city ways, so I wish to ask
your advice on a matter Of much
Importance to me.
A few days ago 1 was introduced
to a young lady, and a day or so
later I went to call on her. She re-
ceived me nicely and we decided to
go riding in my machine. We were
riding along the Speedway when all
Of a sudden she said she wanted to
jump into the river. and. in fact,
she started to jump from the car.
We were going about forty miles
an hour, so / caught hold Of her
and stopped the car. She started
laughing and continued to do SO for
some time, all at once she stopped
and seemed to faint, when she came
to she seemed all right, and told me
she had been in France and had
now and then 1t all came back.
took her home and she asked
me to call again. 1 would like to
go again, but 1 really do not know
what to do. What was the meaning
of it all, and what would you advise.
w. D.
P. 81 have heard since that
she has not been to France.
I think I'd be a little careful Of
this young lady, in your place. She
is either subject to some sort Of
epileptic seizure, and it might be
rather dangerous for you to be
alone with her, or else she was
shamming the attack to try its eff
feet on you. / believe I'd try and
find a more normal companion for
my drives.
Loves One, Engaged To the Other.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About a year ago I met a young
man who expected to go to France
Immediately. Before sailing he
asked if would wait for him until
ne came home and I promised
would. In the meantime 1 have
met a soldier now stationed near
Washington, but who expects to be
transferred 10 a oIslAnl pOst sOOA'
Now do you think 1 should marry
and go with him, as we love each
other dearly, or should / keep the
first promise and wait until the
one in France returns and explain
things to him, although it means
that I will have to stay here? This
has troubled me very much, so
please advise. JACQOE.
l can never advise a girl to
marry a man for whom she has
ceased to care, though the young
man who sailed away assured OF
your affection has my deepest
sympathy. 1t would be better to
write him and tell him that you
have been mistaken in your feel
ings, and should like to withdraw
your promise. This will leave you
free to become engaged to the sec
ond soldier. l should certainly not
follow him to his new post, unless
you go as his wife.
