STATION FOR POTWIN
c. P. Bolmar Asks City for Better Fire
Protection.


An appeal to the city to move the
fire station now located at Eighth and
Clay streets to Fifth and West streets
for the protection of Potwin. was
made by c. P. Bolmar, 212 Greenwood
avenue, appearing before the city
commissioners today.
Bolmar said that Potwin, which
contained three of the city's hospitals,
was woefully lacking in fire protec-
ton. He gave the Stormont fire, in
which only the timely action of the
Potwin residents prevented the loss
of many lives as an argument why
Potwin should be provided with ade-
quate fire protection.
Bolmar proposed that the city build
the fire station on the three lots
owned by the city Immediately to the
west of the Potwin Cumberland Pres
byterian church. He said Fire Chief
Hanlon had assured him of his will
ingness to have the Eighth and Clay
station moved to that locality. The
church objects to having a fire station
next TO it. according to Bolmar, but he
added that the safety of Potwin resi-
dents demands it.

BIG SHRINER PLANS
Series of Social Functions To Be Ar
ranged by Committees.

Shrinedom, som etiunes called the
play ground of Masonry, was well
represented at the meeting Of the To-
peka Abdallah Shrine club. at Masonic
Temple last night. One hundred
Mobiles participated. and unanimously
adopted the suggestion that another
party for members land one lady
each be held at an early date. and
that a ceremonial for the initiation of
novices be held in the spring.
A special committee, charged with
the full details of the social function,
was appointed by President o. X.
Horley, Earl Spencer. Theo. Mueller,
Chester Buell. and w. E. Bulls. This
committee will choose a date as soon
as arrangements can be made for a
hall large enough to accommodate the
Nobility and their ladies. The last
party at the Elks club was very sue
cessful as a social event, but too large
for the quarters.
The mother Shrine Temple will be
notified chat a ceremonial will be ar
ranged for Topeka in the spring that
will not conflict with nor detract from
any regular Masonic event. and it is
expected that the caravan from
LeavenWorth of the bashi- bazouks and
their laden camelS will bring the latest
in paraphernalia to make the cere-
monies complete in every detail. The
consensus of opinion last night was
that the Topeka contingent of Abdal-
lah Shrine does not follow the custom
in vogue in other cases of attra citing
to their benefit by detracting from the
work of other bodies.
The president will appoint the cere-
monial committee later. A "sugges-
ton box" will be installed at the Of
flee of Secretary Doncyson. and the
members will fill it up with ideas of
new and novel stunts for the ceremon-
ial- The winner of the best suggestion
will receive a cash prize.
In addition to the parties to be ar
ranged for the members and their
ladies this season, the summer season
will be inaugurated with Shrine bar
becue at one of the parks. and a
committee WILDE named to pull that
off in true southern style.
