Testing Fire Alarm System

testing FIRE Alarm System
Something has gone wrong with
Winnemucca's fire alarm siren whis-
tie, and that fact was not learned
until two alarms were turned in
Tuesday, when the number of blasts
sounded, guaranteed to wake every
resident in a standing posture, did
not jibe with the locations in which
the fires occurred. Consequently
the whistle apparatus was overhauled
today, necessitating frequent blow
ing while adjustments were being
made. The frequent sounding of
the blast created considerable won-
derment, one person calling this
office by phone to find out if fires
were again becoming a habit in
this city, while another wanted to
know if the whistle had eaten some
thing which did not agree with it
for instance, the highly nutritious
seed of certain leguminous plant
of the family Fabaceae.
One of the fires Tuesday was al
the power house, where a missing
cylinder sprayed the concrete root
with oil and later set it Attire wher
the cylinder charge again com
menced exploding. This alarm wa.
sounded at 6 o'clock in the morning
while the second alarm was turned
in at z o'clock the same evening
because of brush fire on Railroad
street.

ADVENTUREOF

express.
The Tinker Man opened them and
put the parts all together like the
smart tinker man he was.
Then he called Nick. (which ono
do you wish to fly in?" he asked.
"The one belonging to the wooden
soldiers or the one belonging to the
tin soldiers? Which side are you
on?'' ........
I'D better stick to the wooden
soldiers" answered Nick. 81 cannot
be traitor, sir!'
Good" cried the Tinker Man
"But you arc too big to run this toy

THAT is easily fixed said Nick
"Don't forget that Nancy and l have
Magic Shoes"
So he proceeded to wish himself
quite, small and soon he was in the
airp1anc learning all there was te
know.
Bye and bye he flew away owe,
Bing- Bang Land and all the Bling
Bang Landcrs cried out, ooh, look al
the queer new bird in the sky!"
Nick flew right over the encmy's
country where he could see dowr
into the camps and find out what
everybody was doing.
| But something dreadful happened
A tin soldier lifted his gun ant
shot at Nick's airplanc and hit it

To Use 500 Fund
For Dental Work

The 500 which went to the Wo-
mems Community Council as their
share in the sale of Christmas Seals
will be used to pay for the materials
to be used in repairing the teeth of
children in the public schools who
are unable to have otherwise dental
attention.
The dentists of the city ara donat-
ing their services in doing this work
which began this week and will be
continued until the teeth Of the chill
dren are in good repair.
1t was decided that the 500 would
go further in this line Of work than
in any other. The dentists who are
caring for the childrcn's teeth again
this year report that they find them
in better condition than they were
last year when dental work was first
taken up in connection with the
school children.
