Kdyz oba muzov6 opet V Sc

"Smutne, presmutne divadlo

"Zasnu, pane Cravene. Jak

"Z vas Sc stane naposled hor

"Ja jiz nyni jsem horlitel a

"Proc neplati najemne? Pan

pravil Craven.

Spedwell.
"NaSe nahledy sc prilis rOz-

Board for Consideration Of
$11,OOO.

E. c. Fisher, superintendent or
schools, announced today the par-
chase Of a tract of land in Rock

Ninth street at Forty-second ave
nue.. 1t is 271z feet by 525 feet.
The tract contains 6a5 acres, and
is practically level, affording al
ideal site for new grade school.

Original plans of the school board
were to purchase a tract of lana
east of Twelfth street in the same
district, but efforts were unsuccess-
full.
Mr.. Fisher said that the property
win be used as site for a new
grade school to be established in

BABY BOOKKEEPING
BEHIND IN NATION

Human bookkeeping" is not as
strictly attended to in this country
as it should be, according to the
department of labor, which says
that it is of the highest Importance
that all childbirths be registered.
But that many parents do not seem
20 recognize this is shown by the
fact in 1918 only 20 states and the
District of Columbia had met the
"over 80 per cent" birth registra-
ton test established by the census
bureau.
Women who have been weighing
and measuring children during the
years campaign conducted by the
children's bureau of the labor de-
partment have frequently found
that the question en- the registra-
ton card as the birth register ed ?"
is answered in the negative In
many cases the parents did not
even know whether the birth was
registered or not.
1t is declared that registration of
births promptly aids public health
nurses in attending where other
wise it would be impossible to give
the attendance required. This has
been shown conclusiveIy in Eng
land by child welfare specialists.

NATION GETTING
BACK FOR PEACE
FOOTING QUICKLY

Reconstruction movements, now
in full swing in every state, cover
every conceivable angle of the
problem of getting the nation back
into peace time form, according To
a survey begun soon after the ar
mistice by the national council for
defense.
Governors, mayors, state legisla-
lures, churches, Boy Scouts, cham
bers of commerce, volunteer work
ers and civic bodies are cooperat-
ing in plans to insure a square
deal for demobiIized soldiers and
get the factories humming again.
No state failed to figure IN the
survey.
Alaska, too. is helping by offer
ing to place 5000 demobilized SOL
diers in jobs as teachers, clerks
and watchmen.
Most projects aim at getting sol
diers on the land as farmers and
helpers. For this work the Col
orado Legislature appropriated
S725, goo, to be spread over a per-
iod of 20 years.
Denver is one of several cities
now in the midst of campaigns to
"own-your-own-home" and help re-
opening Of shipbuilding activities.
The form of reconstruction work
connected with Americanization
projects is exemplifed at New
Bedford, where cotton millers or
ganized to teach English to all
foreign students. Boy Scouts are
planning to help.
Michigan and Ohio were among
the first Of the many states that
called reconstruction congresses.
Women are represented equally
with men on reconstruction
board appointed by the governor
of Michigan.
Job canvassing for returning
doughboys was begun early IL New
York City, where merchants asso-
Citations combined to canvass al
manufacturers and lis openings.

FURNACE SMOKE
CREATES ALARM
AMONG EMPLOYEES

The fire department responded to
an alarm of a fake fire this after
noon at 1870, when an employe of
the Peterson Piano and Fixture
company, Twenty-f1fth street and
Fourth avenue, reported that the
establishment was ablaze. After
making a hurried run the flremen
arrived to find that an immense
volume of smoke from the furnace
was all that had frightened the en-
ployes. No blaze at all was de-
tected.
This is the second fire reported
in this establishment in the last
week. The first one caused slight
damage.
