 In came Squire Thompson from Mulga and with him Miss Mae Vines and Dale Shoemaker. all Booking for a quiet corner which might serve as an extemporaneous altar. Why anybody should have picked out Blach's as "the little church around the corner" was a puzzle until the acting parson ex- plained that Blach's had been his city headquarters for more than twenty five years, and he'd always gotten whatever he came in for.
 The only quiet place in the store seemed to be around Luther Doty's desk Che uses it only after business hours), so there on the third floor, with mothers all around buying their boys vacation clothes and little tots riding the ponies while Barber Bill clipped their hair, Miss Vines and MT Shoemaker were made man and wife and left the store before anybody realized what had happened or that congratulations were in order.
 MT. and Mrs. Shoemaker returned last night, to Mulga. where they will make their future home.

JACK ELLIOTT
 GETS THE BEDS

Unheralded and unaided by any cumbersome committee plans, Jack Elliott, thirteen-year-old boy, has solved the housing problem for the Rainbow veterans during their first annual convention in Birmingham, July I2, I3 and IA.
 Jack walked into the headquar- ters of the Rainbow division at the Ledger building yesterday morning. He made it known around the office that he wanted to do something to help make the convention success. Secretary Harry J. Carter and his assistanta were busy and nobody paved much attention to the little fellow.
 Growing tired of standins around, Jack happened to see somA pledge cards on the edge of desk. Unknown to any of the at inches of the office, he slipped out d batch of the cards and left. Nhcn>k he returned to the office in slie afternoon he had the signed promises of sixty beds for the haIzsDosy men.
 That is not all. Youpg Elliott says fie is goin. to work every aay I1stii the convention and that .he expects to increase h.s number Of bcds to leo a day. At that rate, by July i2 he will have provided aLUui I.G1o beds for the comfort of the Rainbow boys during their sOjourn in the Magic City.
 Jack got his enthusiasm for the soldiers during the war. He was the mascot for the 140th field ar- tiiiery and was with that OrEanixn- ti0n at San AntOh:o, Alexandra. Mo-, Little Rock and Cleveland, Ohio. He was preparing to go over with the division when his parents came after him and brought him back home. He is the son of Mir. amt Mrs. J. B. Elliott. 29l2 Avenue G.. He calls himself the "Cherry Chum boy"
 Profiting by the lesson of Jack Elliott. the headquarters has se- cured the services of the Boy Scouts, who will make n hOuse-tO- house canvass for more homes. There are at least 1000 more homes needed and time Is short in which to speak for them.
 Ministers in the downtown churches will make appeals to the congregations Sunday to tnke sol diers during the reunion and cards will he distributed.

WATER INSPECTORS
:. FIND A BIG WASTE
Davis Believes $4,000, 900 Gal
Ions Daily Were Lost Dur
ing Winter
9149 LEAKS ARE 70 U N D

Announcement was made today By
Chief Carleton +. Davis, Of the Water
Bureau, that the inspection of houses
for water pipe leaks has revealed a
total loss of 5000 900 to II, 900. 900 gal
Ions Of the daily supply.
The inspectors have visited Sob
private houses and made particular
listings of 9149 serious neglected leaks
where 1000 gallons a day or more were
being wasted. Small leaks OF 200 or
300 gallons a day were not reported
by the inspectors, but will be checked
by them on reinspection in order to
carry assurance that repairs have been
made.
ION reinspection 5434 of the major
leaks were found repaired" said Chief
Davis. There is Increasing evidence
of co operation on the part of the own
ers and occupants of property to make
repairs, and the ratio OF repairs made is
increasing with time.
In some localities there is even
found evidence of anticipating the visit
of the Water Bureau inspector by self
inspection on the part of the owners
and occupants. This Is exceedingly
gratifying. as it min im!zes the work of
the bureau and results In saving con
siderable water.
THE Bureau of Water believes that
in the past winter not fewer than 80. =
100000 gallons Of water per day were
wasted. Twenty million gallons u day
of this waste can be saved with very
little effort.
Each successive additional 10000. =
600 gallons a day will require more ef-
fort and more work, but without undue
expenditure of time and money the en- :
tire 10000. 200 gallons can be saved,
or rather diverted from waste to useful
work Of being transferred to the con =
sumer who now has an insufficient water
supply or inadequate pressure.
philadelphia is growing at a rate
which demands an additional supply OF
at least $4,000, 900 gallons n day every
ten years.

Sim FEIN WINS
General WaIk-Out Results in
Three Victories.
Sim Fein Hunger Strikers in
Jail Freed.

Dublin. April 15.-The general
strike had won it's third great victory
within month today.
Sixty-six striking S1nn Fem prison
ers in Mount Joy prison were released
Internationally by the British gov
eminent after commerce thruout Ire
land had been tied up for two days
as result of the protest walkout called
by the labor unions.
Decision to grant freedom to the
prisoners who had been on a hunger
strike for more than a week came
after the Sim Feiners had refused a
parole pending further investigation
of their cases. They were held on
suspicion of being implicated in re-
cent outrages.
The nationwide strike was called
off by the labor unions as soon as
news of release was announced out
siGc the prison.
The first prisoners were taken from
the Jail at 1880 p. m. Most of them
were so weakened by the self-ehforCed
fast that they had to be taken in q W
balances to hospitals
