Town OF JOLIET
THREATENED BY FIRE
Firemen At Disadvantage When Fall
Ing Beam Breaks Off Hydrant
and Cuts Pressure

Joliet. Mont.-With a strong wind
blowing and its water system badly
crippled by n broken hydrant, the en-
tire town of Joliet was threatened with
destruction when the Meyer building
and a small structure adjoining it were
gutted by fire. The blaze had gained
such Roadway before 1t was discovered
that heroic efforts by the fire depart
men to save the building We're I'M
avaiiing.
The Meyer block and the adjoining
building destroyed with it We're owned
by Ether Meyer. and housed the Joliet
postofflce. the Kosy Korner pharmacy,
n pool hall, restaurant. dance hall and
rooming house. The fire is believed
to have started in the rear of the dance
hall on the second floor of the building,
from an unknown cause.
Shortly after the blaze was discov-
cred and the fire department started
the battle against II. part of the front
of the Meyer block collapsed, and a big
iron pillar fell across the sidewalk,
striking n fire hydrant and breaking
1t off. With water gushing into the
street from the broken hydr; ut, the
pressure in the mains was materially
reduced, adding greatly to the diff
Guilty of the flremen in their task of
checking the flames.
In spite of the handicap of a strong
wind and reduced water pressure, the
volunteer fire fighters succeeded in
keeping the flames from spreading to
other business buildings.
Preliminary estimates of the loss
place the figure at about $1,000, which
was partially covered by insurance.

Dumb Animals and Color.

Scientists differ in their opinions as
to whether dumb animals see color.
Experiments have been performed
with monkeys, chickens. rabbits and
rats. In some instances, where the an
imals apparently responded more
readily to one color than to another,
1t was thought possible that they were
affected more by the differences In
the intensity of the colors than by the
different colors. Latest results indl-
cate that animals do not readily de.
tect color differences.
