AN AWFUL SITUATION

Yes, if q great fire snousd break out
In Wheeling; Of the present reservoir
should collapse, and if the twenty-nnl-
lton-gallon pump should go to pieces
and the DISQUALIFICATION pump
should also go to pieces, and then the
first sexen-miH4on- gallon pump should
strike, and, finally, the last sepen-rniI-
lion-ballon pump should kick over the
traces, and all of these things should
happen at once, Wheeling would GER
"a tnly, be In a bad way. Wheeling would
be in a bad way also if Wheeling Hill
should start to beiching smoke and
fame and lava. but just at present VIC
need not get excited over any OF these
horrible possibilities happening. Ger
tadnfy we don't need to spend million
or more dollars ITO provide against them.

gers who vend a fendish substance
which they describe enormously as
vodka. The real vodka, with the i'm
perial seal, is found in some private
cellars, and is more or less like Cana
dian white wheat whisky. The boot
leggers' brand is methylated spirits
and water, and kills every week a few
of the brave souls who are willing to
tackle it. ...
The Aquarium is a typically Rus
sian institution, combination of the
alter and restaurant, where the show
begins at II o'clock at night and ends
at 3 or o'clock in the morning. The
Russian is a notorious night hawk.
The program is like that of the ordi-
nary variety show-dancing, singing,
and the like-while the audience sit
about at little tables and eat and
drink. Eating and drinking always
are in order When off duty the &C.
tresses circulate among the tables and
fraternize with the spectators.
The Russian dances attract large
numbers of Canadian and American
officers, although dancing after the
Russian style is science that must
be acquired slowly and prayerfully.
The waltz is very fast, and there is
no reverse. The ball begins with
concert, usually excellent, which lasts
until midnight, with one or two inter-
missions during which the guests go
out to the refreshment rooms and eat.
Then the dancing follows, lasting I'M
til or in the morning. The one
step is being acquired since the ad-
vent of the allies from America, and
the repertoire Spanish dances, a spe-
cies of two-step, and many curious
and pretty Russian figures. Every
Russian is born dancer and the Or
binary concert program includes one
or more accomplished danseuses.
