Mayor Weeks presented the follow,
ing report OF Citizens Committee on
the purchase of fire equipment:
Whereas, Your advisory committee
appointed for the purpose OF inyesti.
eating the relative merits OF fire
| pumper and the purchase Of one. after
a careful investigation and from in.
| formation received by some of the
members OF the committee (by per.
sonal visits to other cities and by
correspondence with reliable parties)
are of the opinion that tho City of
Ottawa would mako no mistake in
purchasing any of the following ma.
chimes.
American La France,
Seegrave3,
Ahrens-Fox,
as they are standard, time tested and
where In use have each given entire
satisfaction.
However, your committee would
strongly recommend that the pumper
have chain drive and solid rubber
tires on cushion wheels, but they are
also firmly of the opinion that the
bids presented to your honorable
commission. each of them being for
the sum of Twelve Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ts1250O) 00), and no
two engines being alike in length,
weight, size, construction or finish,
taking into consideration what other
cities have paid for similar bumpers
within the past few months, are too
high.
Therefore, we recommend to your
honorable mayor and commissioners
that all the bids be rejected and that
the city readvertise for new bids, or
If 1t is possible to authorize a special
committee to make a purshGse. We
further recommend to your honorable
body that in the advertising for new |
bids, each bidder be requested to
make two bids; one bid for cash, one |
bid making an allowance for the pres. |
ent fire truck.

CAN CATS SEE IN THE DARk7

TRICTLY speaking, cats cannot
see In complete darkness any
more than human beings can.
But, owing to peculiar construction
of their eyes. they can make much bet.
ter use OF whatever light there Is and.
MS q result. they can find a way
through room which appears to be
very dark.
The pupils OF n eats eyes are cnpa.
bic of being enlarged or dlstcndcd to
great extent, thus letting In every
particle OF light. Moreover. this en-
largement Of the pupil takes place nl-
most instantly and there Is therefore
little apparent hesltancy on the part
of cut which enters dark room
after being In the bright light. The
same principle holds good. In lesser
extent, In the human eve, for after we
become accustomed to the dark"--or
utter tho pupils OF our eyes become
sufficiently disiended to allow the rays
to enter--we are able to see much
more clearly and distinctly than for-
merly. This. however, takes an ap-
preelable time. while II occurs auto
matlcally In the eye of the cut. -

Good breeding is the result of much good
sense.-Chesterield.
TT is SO many months since Ameri-
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up little on
the question of the etiquette of ocean
travel. War workers and the men in
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
cumstances from those of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
of manners go it was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean voyager has good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because it is
considered only courteous for her to
send off little notes Of thanks to those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that is taken
off with the ships pilot. However,
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure of being on deck
during the first of your voyage in
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation of their
generosity.
The question is sometimes asked
whether 1t is In good form TO use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines. or whether 1t Is not better
to use ones own stationery. Good

suggestion of the chief of that bu-
reau Secretary Wallace named the
breed Lamona, for the originator.

size to fit the demands Of the great
number Of consumers who want bird

sirable breast meat, and at the same
time large capacity for the reproduc-
tive organs.
The Lamona fowl Is larger than the

form seems to sanction the use of the
ships stationery, and it is surely more
interesting to those who received let
tiers to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board. Must you therefore keep to
yourself because there is no way for
you to have introductions to the
other passengers? Certainly not. 1t
is quite good form for you to begin
with courteous good morning adj
dressed to those whom you meet at
table or whom you pass every day
on deck. At least by the second or
third day out YOU would naturally
start conversation with the person
seated next to you on deck and TO
resent any such friendliness on the
part of others would indeed be UNI
kind. If for any reason you wish to
be left entirely to yourself you should
make a special request that your
steamer chair be placed in an isolated
part of the deck.
1t will then become apparent that
you do not wish to mingle with the
others and you will have no trouble
in keeping by yourself. But by far the
most agreeable thing is to accept the
friendly advances of persons whom YOU
meet and If they appear congenia!
there Is no reason why you should
not let the friendship progress quite
as II you had had n formal introduc-
ton. tCopyrghO
