Champion Sleeper
Not Disturbed BY
Fire Fighters Call

Council Bluffs. Sept. 20.--If there
Is ever contest to determine which
man can sleep the soundest, Council
Bluffs can furnish a oluperfect entry.
His name is unknown. but Second
Assistant Fire Chief J. y. Oliver can
vouch for the mans qualifications.
Here's the proof: Saturday morn
Ing about o'clock, an alarm was
turned into tho central fire station
that smoke was belching forth from
second story window at 715 West
Broadway. In due time the fire de-
partment arrived on the scene and
proceeded to duty.
Armed with a string of hose, chem
icnls and pick-axes, dozen firemen
entered the building, while brother
firemen hoisted ladders up to the
window, from whence the smoke was
coming. in hopes that they could res
cue the men. women and children.
Bursting into the room, the fire.
men were greeted with cloud Of
dense smoke. "The fire is all out"
said II wee small voice from the 9TH
err side OF the room.
However. 1t looked different to the
second assistant chief, who entered
the room. Switching on a light, he
was confronted with vision Of two
men lying ON bed. which, tho fire.
fighters later learned. had been set
on fire by q lighted cigaret. One lot
the men WAS awake and the other
was asleep. and Is still as far as the
firemen know.
But the half has not yet been told.
Routing the awakened man from
his fiery couch. Oliver thrust his
hand In the bed. and much to his
surprise discovered that the state
ment that the fire was out was
somewhat erroneous.
But pouncing down on the bed, the
firemen soon quenched the angry
flames and departed.
But the sleeping man was left
snoring on the bed. just as the fire.
fighters had found him.
Whoever he was,' remarked one
OF the firemen. "he must know what
that place they call hell feels like"

Des Moines. Sept. 20.--Even tho
the next session OF the iowa legisla
ture does appropriate the funds suffi-
cient for the erection Of the proposed
temple Of Justice, 1t will be
approximately three years before
the structure Is completed and ready
for occupancy. The building will cost
about $2.000.000. Towards this sum,
more than half million, from the
state war fund. has already been OBJ
tanned. 1t was thought that the
money appropriated for capital ex-
tension would also be available to
meet the cost of the new structure.
but owing to the many improvements
and renovations being made at the
state house this money can not be
obtained.
The temple of Justice. when COM
pleted. will serve a threefold need:
It will group together under one roof
all the state judiciary and kindred
departments: by removing the Judi
ciary department from the capitol It
will make room there for the ex-
pansion OF other offices and, room
also for departments now located In

Washington, Sept. 20.--New high
schools have been added to the
American educational system at the
rate Of at least one a day during the
last twenty eight years.
Statistics compiled by the Federal
Bureau Of Education show that there
are now more than 1900 such
schools, an increase of 452 per cent
over tho number In 1890. Attendance
figures from $4,000 of the schools
give total Of 1.735.6l9 scholars, in
dicating In effect that one tenth of
the population is getting high school
educations, the bureau states.
Only $50 OF the schools reporting
to the bureau enroll 500 students
each and 27s enroll over 1000, while
one-half Of the 1891 schools tabu-
lated have an enrolment OF between
~ and 100 students. City high
| schools constitute less than 10 per
cent OF all students. Almost IS per
cent OF the high schools are rural
with 40 per cent Of the students.
AS IS per cent OF the schools Of
fering q four-year course have terms
Of only 1870 days during the year, q
longer school term is Enthusiastically
foreshndowe according to bureau
officials. The schools cost thousands
OK dollars to erect and to utilize the
property for only $50 days a year Is

The number Of high school gradu-
ates has increased from 1852 in
1880 to 224,as7 In 1918. Considering
the increase in population during
this period. 1t is found that American
