Rest Room when it becomes installed
in the corner room downstairs now
occupied by the Red Cross would
have to give way to demands for more
space for county court work. II was
thought probable that in time an ele-
vator would be sunk from the file in
the County clerks room down to this
room which is Just beneath and it
would be used for keeping reports
and files. The present record room
is inadequate.
County clerk Arthur Martin when
asked about the decisions Of the coun-
ty court as 10 she room this morning
said he knew nothing except that
he heard the county court call Mrs.
Barns of the Civic department and
tell her that 'if arrangements can be
made with the Red Cross" the women
of Marion county can have the room.
He said the Red Cross knew 1t was
only granted the room temporarily.
Several occupants of offices in the
courthouse say they have always want
ed the use of the room now in ques-
ton but could not persuade anyone
10 let them have 1t. The room in argu-
ment is>the very incest IN the build
ing occupying corner space of sun
ny light capaciousness. 1t has doors
leading out-of-doors so that persons
need not come inside the courthouse
at all to enter If they do not care TO.
The fact that barber shop recently
had the room makes 1t sure that water
piping is handy TO connect for a Law
oratory.

Heintzelman Post
Helps Salvation Army

A fitting climax to tho meeting Of
the Heintzelman Post of the Amer!-
can Legion last night was collection
taken up for the Salvation Army.
Only small number Of the Veterans
were present, but 1t seemed as though
no one had anything but bank notes
on his person. A nice sum was real
lied, the exact amount of which could
not be learned.
Business of routine nature was
transacted and several amendments
to the constitution proposed at for
mer meeting were not acted ON on ac-
count of the small attendance, due
mostly to the amount OF sickness
among the members and their fam
lilies.
All members are urged to meet
Sunday Afternoon nj the Court house
and march to the First Methodist
church to attend the memorial exer-
cises.
