FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT
TWICE.

Our fire department was kept busy
Tuesday afternoon in answering two
alarms. One was sent from the H. +.
Rubel residence on Wauwatosa avenue,
where a guest of the family left his
Ford standing out in the rain, the said
rain causing a short circuit, the short
circuit caused a spark, the spark
caused fire, the fire caused the fire
department to be called, but owing to
the hardness of a garden hose, the
said fire was extinguished by Harry
Rubel before the department arrived.
A brand new set of wires and the
Ford will be in running condition.
The second call came from North
avenue near Wauwatosa avenue, where
a high voltage wire was broken by the
storm and caused a wonderful display
of fireworks. The fire department has
the manager Of the local electric COM
pany's office on its force who handled
this case with mastery skill.

FRIDAY NIGHTS STORM PROVES
BAD ONE.

One of the worst storm of the year
visited our city last Friday night and
brought with it a plentiful supply of
rain, wind, lightning and thunder
which did considerable damage to our
streets and trees. Lightning struck
the grade school belfry, but did little
damage. The fire department was
called out and while our boys were
busy putting out the fire another bolt
hit in the center of the school grounds,
causing the few spectators to scatter
for home. One man was knocked
down but was revived in a few min
utes.

WE PRESENT OUR GENIAL CITY
CLERK.
Labor with what zeal we will,
Something still is lett undone."

Labor with what zeal we will,
Something still is lett undone."
Longfeflow must have had some
knowledge of the work required to be
done in the City Clerks office when
he wrote those lines, and they may
explain the reason for the hurried,
worried look which our City Clerk
wears, especially of late, for the
amount of business transacted in his
office has increased and is increasing
as the city grows
Mr.. A. V. Brigham has been City
Clerk for something over seven years,
and though he was, at the time of his
election in April, 1914, comparative
newcomer in the City, having lived in
Wauwatosa only about four years, he
has, by his unfailing courtesy and
good humor, ami because of his gen
eral ability and skill in public affairs,
become one of our leading citizens,
liked and respected by all.
Whatever the information one de-
sires, whether it is a house number,
when the ash man is expected to make
his next call, or what the special as
sessments for street improvement may
be, Mr.. Brigham is always ready to
serve, either in his official capacity or
merely in spirit of helpfulness, and
by his untiring efforts and acute I'M
derstanding of municipal matters, has
proven himself an efficient successor
to Mr.. Coulthard.

MANY GERMANS QUIT BATHING
Find Hot Water a Luxury Because
of the Shortage in Supply
of Coal.

Berlin.-The hot bath has become
such luxury in Germany, owing to
the shortage of coal and the manner
in which the government regulates
the distribution OF fuel, that many
persons have ceased bathing. Others
have gathered courage for an Icy
sponge daily, but this is not popular,
for the houses are generally cold, and
exposure in cold rooms after a chilly
tub paves the way for colds and
pneumonia.
Ordinarily family can afford hot
water once every two weeks. Hdblic
baths. where once a plunge or tub
was available for few pfennigs.
have been forced to close or raise
prices beyond the reach of workmen
and saaried workers.

Cleveland. O.-An eggs age is
usually carefully concealed.
Many Of ancient vintage emerge
from cold storage and masquerade
as freshly laid hen fruit. but. as a
general thing their advancing years
are no more to be boosted of than
those of woman.
Not so with an egg in the posses
sion of Fred r. Gerst, 2054 Evelyn
avenue, Lakewood. It's sixty-One
years old and perfectly respectable.
It's hand-decOrated Easter egg
with the date "April s, $780," in
scribed in white on a reddish-brown
background. 1t is hard boiled and is
kept by Mr.. Gerst carefully wrapped
In cotton to protect it from break

Young Lady Entertains Friends ~
Poison She Had Taken
Ends Her Life.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-While the poison
she had swallowed slowly drove life
from her body. Mrs. Neva Fraser,
eighteen, bride of few weeks, per-
formed veritable dance Of death in

Her friends were ignorant Of the
tragedy taking place when she began
dancing, but before the last strains
died away they saw her fall in

TEACH KIDS HOW

1000 Centers Keep Boys Out of
Mischief and Help Them to
keep Fit"
WONDERFUL RESULTS SEEN
Summer Activities on Playground
Eliminate Swearing, Cheating and
Stealing Among Children
Fair Play Prevails.

New York.-More than 1000 play
grounds and recreational centers in
the United States are helping to keep
boys out of mischief, teaching girls
swimming and other athletics and
showing adults how to benefit them
selves physically and mentally by
play.
The effect they have in keeping
boys out Of trouble with the police is
emphasized in reports which have
come to the Playground and Recrea-
ton association from all over the
country as one Of the most important
results of the establishment of play
given in the year book of the associa-
ton just made public.
The chief of police of San Fran
cisco believes the establishment of
neighborhood recreation centers is
constructive measure toward sup
pressing the crime wave. He asked
the community service to extend it's
recreation work because he believed
that the wrong use of leisure time had
much to do with the increase in crime.

There was great rivalry between boat
owners and crews, and usually from
one to dozen boat races were pulled
on as the vessels chugged up the
river. 1t was then that boilers blew
up with marked frequency.
The most famous Of these races was
run by the Natchez and the Robert
Il. Lee, two of the largest of the river
packets. SO keen was the rivalry that
early in the seventies it was planned
to have them race from New Or
leans to st. Louis. No passengers or |
freight were carried and for weeks |
the coming race was the chief topic of |
conversation along the river.
The Robert e. Lee was in command
OF Captain Cannon, while Captain
Leathers was masTer of the Natchez.
No stops were made except for fuel.
The trip to st. Louis was made in
Just a few hours over three days, an
unheard of record then, with the Rob

margin.
