Okla. Mother Still
Awaits Return Of Son
Reported Killed
The United Press;

The United Press:
Muskogce. Okla. Oct 26.-"Pm
sure he isn't dead" Thus speaks
Mrs. NJ. +. Rigsby. as she confident
~ waits, in her home here, for the
home coming Of her son who was re-
ported killed in action in France,
the day before the Armistice.
The American Legion post at Fort
Gibson has been named in honor OF
her son. Frank n. Glad.
The reason for the little mothers
belief that her son is alive is let
ter from Bobby Burns, Springfield,
Mass, who says he was in base hos
pital No. 20, al Havre, with Glad
in February, 1919. more than three
months after he was reported dead.
Glad was suffering from shell
shock and bullet wound through
the lungs. urns was the first dis
charged from the hispital. A few
days before he left France. Burns
said y surgeon at the base hospital
wrote him that Glad had recovered
from his wound, and would be dis
charged in a few days.
This was the last heard from
Glad.
A letter from Burns, addressed
to Glad here and received by his
mother was the first intimation re-
ceived that her son was still alive.
She then started search for the
boy, who she believes TO be wander
ing aimlessly about the country de-
prived Of his memory by shell shock.
A search through the War De-
partment's records failed 10 show
any trace Of Glad, after he was re-
ported dead
A picture Of the grave IN which
Glad was supposed 20 have been
buried, failed 20 down the hopes Of
the little mother.
Burns story was c0rroborated by
Alfred Templer, Pittsburgh. Kansas,
who was also in the hospital with
Glad and Burns
Glad. who would be 80 years old
now. according TO his mother might
be living with his fathers people in
Alsace Lorraine.
"This doesn't seem possible
though or he would have written
me, Mrs Rigsby said.
The mother is so confident her
boy will return, that she Is saving
for him Christmas presents she sent
him in France. but which were re-
turned.

Firemcn's Pension Fund Discussed At
 Special Meeting.

The board of fire commissioners held a special meeting last Saturday afternoon and which was attended by Chief William J, Noble and Captain Michael J. Souney. of Engine Co. No. E. The matter of revision of the flrcmens pension was discussed, but no action was taken. At present there is about s1,5oo in the fund and 12 men arc drawing from it. There arc secvral other members of the department who arc eligible to be placed on the retired list. Under tha present system. tho fund gets a small appropriation from the city and the remainder comes from assessments from the firemen and the proceeds of the annual concert and ball. There is sentiment that in view of the establishment of the two platoon sys- tenn, nothing should be done at this time to interfere with the platoon plan.
 George Cooley. electrical superin- tcndent urged that q charter revision be submitted to make him an officer in the fire department, instead of an official of the building commission. The fire board looks with favor on this recommendation The board all so favors that ail monies derived from fines imposed on members of the department and from the sale Of junk. etc. be turned into the pension fund.

shelters All Families Barred bl Other Owners Because of
 Too Many Children.

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 2o.-If there is a saints halo for landlords willing to admits large families into their tene- ments, J. Q. Poliquin, fifty-two and father of eleven children, deserves one.
 "Young people just starting out in married life should be encouraged Tn every way" he declares. T had my experience a quarter of century ago, being turned out of home because there were three small children, and l know how te sympathize with these couples with little folks.
 You see, if you want your city to grow up you must encourage large families, for the more of these there are the more people, the more pa tronage for the stores the more busi' ness of all kinds. But you can't en- courage this as long as every land- lord shuts up his heart and waves away the fathers and mothers with little ones and lets house stay Va cant rather than let in children.
 T have one house for newlyweds, exclusively: four rooms curtains and gas stove. They swamped me with applications and only sixteen couples could get under the roof. Later these graduate into large apartments where more children can be accommodated. Let the kiddies come and be wei comed, as long as there is room enough for them. There's no limit but that"
 Mr. Pohquin is native of Quebec. but has been in Lewiston since 1887. He conducted tea store here for twenty-two years and became head of the Maine Indemnity Company His property is scattered all over the city and he claims forty-one families res cued from lack of shelter, who were not wanted anywhere because of too many children"
