COMMISSIONERS ARE PREPARING
 POLICE BUDGET
Expected to Be Ready for Meeting Monday Stanley and Calhoun to. Be Reappointed, Re- port.

The last meeting of the present members of the Board of Police Com missioners for the year of 1922 will be held in the Commissioners room at Police Headquarters next Monday evening. The present members may get together again before the year ex- pires only for approval of the budget which may not be ready of official sanction on Monday. At the present writing, however, the commissioners are faithfully at work preparing this detailed chart and indications are that it will be ready for presentation Monday evening.
 This and the approval of the recent Inauguration by Superintendent Elan agan of an emergency squadron in each precinct will probably be the only business other than routine mat ters which will be brought before the meeting for disposal.
 Although rumors are flying thick composed of the same members next year, present indications point to the reappointment by Mayor Atwater of the two retiring commissioners, Messrs. Stanley and Calhoun. Silent commendation and his refusal at any time to go over the heads of the com miSsiOners in matters brought to their attention are taken by local politi- clans as criterions that the mayor is perfectly satisfied with the work of the present board and that he will refuse to make any changes

DENY THAT SIX POLICEMAN ARE
 TO BE RETIRED

Rumors linking the meeting of the new Board of Police Commissioners with the retirema aRt of six members of the Bridgeport Police Department and the printed stories to that effect, proved absolutely without foundation after the Board had met today and announced some of their recommend ations.
 Only three men who have been off duty because of illness were examined by the Board, instead of six and in all three cases the matter of retire. rnent for the officers was not even broached-
 Lieutenant William O'Leary, of the Second Precinct who has been off du- ty since inspection day. when he fell on the concrete floor in the precinct and broke his wrist, was one of the officers examined. The Board f1nd- ing as announced by the chairman, pr. Trecartin, was that Lieutenant O'Leary's wrist had sufficiently heal ed to allow him to do light duty.ThiS re recommendation VIII be brought be-, fore the Board of Police Com s. sioners at their next meeting y@on Monday evening and will probably be adopted
 Patro1man James Renehan of the following an operation for appendi- citis. and Patrolman Chauncey Tay- Tor, who is suffering from a broken foot, were also examined by the Board. Both cases were continued. no recomm endations being made and the men will be examined again in ths near f1Jture

But JacISy was systematic about the care of himself. He devoted himself to the idea of getting well so that he could help his team win a championship the next year.
 With the best of medical and home care he was in shape this Fall Physicians and his friends assured him he was taking a big chance. but Jack said: Tt is my last year in high school and want to play on that team, for it's going to be a winner" He was right; it was. Scores of 45 to ' against Boise, Idaho, High School; 14 to against the celebrated Everett. Wash, eleven, and of Is to 0 against North Central High School of Spokane, winners over Lewis and Clark High School of that city, attest to this fact.
 Jacky says his spinal column is now as strong as il ever was and that he intends to play football when he goes to College. Several college coach es who have been watching his line plunging have said they hope so.

RISKS BROKEN BACK TO BE
 ON WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM

Walla Walla, Wash, Dec. 15.- Taking a chance with ones spinal col u1nn is risky business just for the sake of playing football But this is just what Lawrence Jacky, funback and Captain of the Walla Walla High School eleven, did this season-and
 'he got away with it"
 The local high school finished the season Thanksgiving Day by defeating the Gonzaga high school team, of Spokane. 39 to 0 and thereby earning the right to clash with Waite High School. of Toledo, O., for an inter- sectional contest here on Christmas Day, if that eleven decides to come West. Jacky- finished the game ot his position and thereby completed record of nine games without ever having been taken out. This in spite of the fact that last year he was forced to retire from the game early in the season with two of his verte- brae out of place and one split length wise.

 An automobile was dispatched to g town 8 miles away for duplicate key.
 In the meantime men got to worK and smashed in a, small part of the safe. Bellows were used to pump Tn air.
 Owing to broken communications r. took the automobile 20 hours to make the journey to and fro and the pris- oners were fed through tubes.
 Had it not been for the action of the manager upwards of $150,000 would have been taken from an inner room.

The gymnasium was attractive1y decorated with red ana green streamers, which gave the gym a Christmasy appearance. A large 'fWeIcome E. H. S." sign greeted the dancers as they came in.

MANNERS IN SECOND PLACE
Mrs. cIarVer Put Necessity for Eating
Far Above the Importance of
Table Niceties

When Miss Violet Robinson, a col
ored teacher in Mobile, was invited by
Mrs. Clarver, the mother of two of her
pupils, to stay and have dinner with
the family, she accepted with no an
ticipatiOn of what was before her. Mr..
Clarver hung far over his plate, and
seemed engaged in a race against time
and labor as he lifted knifeloads Of
viands TO his mouth. His wife and
children were not much OutdOne.
The teacher was not one TO keep her
thoughts from her face, and Mrs. Clar-
yer looked at her first with distress
and then with growing wrath as she
felt the need of coming to her mans
defense.
Finally she leaned across the table
toward her guest, and pounded heavily
with the handle of a fork.
I'm tellin' yo' what 1t is" she said.
emphatically. Manners amt nothin'.

LIGHTED CIGARS DANGEROUS
Discarded Butt or Cigarette Thrown
on Wooden Floor of Steel Bridge
May Cause Fire.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AgrtcultureD
Don't throw away your cigar or
cigarette when crossing a bridge with
wooden floor, advises the bureau Of
public roads of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. 1t may start
fire that will destroy the bridge.
Many such fires are started. Most
Of them are put out with small dam
age but occasionally a large structure
is destroyed. 1t seems strange that a
steel bridge should be destroyed by
fire, but heat from a burning floor
may cause the destruction Of the
whole bridge by softening; the break
ing Of one weakened member will
cause the whole span to drop into
the river. On some large bridges a
Waterman is kept to guard against
this danger, and in a dry season fires
have been known 20 occur daily.
