SHOOTING STARS.

The Invention Man.

The Invention Man.
Invention Mamie comes along
To keep the f1ivver go!n' strong.
He fills the air with music gay
An makes the night as bright as day.
His moving pictures charm the eye.
He sends your letters through the sky.
We're started on a pleasant plan,
Thanks to your help, Invention Man!
Invention Mamie turns away
From thoughts Of usefulness or play
And makes gas to kill us all
And shooting irons, big and small.
Just when he shows us happiness,
He brings the means of new distress.
Let's find some method, if we can,
To limit this Invention Man!

 Want Better Lighting,
 Better lighting about the city and especially on the Memorial Boule- yard will be advocated al the next meeting of the city council by sry- eral members Of that city board be- cause of the imperative need for m Improvement in the municipal ity's illumination. The boulevard lights were declared inadequate to- day by one councilman, who sald that change should be made to make the city's splendid entrance brighter at night The present sys- tenn is considered by many to be of practically no use and some citizens think that no lights would be better than the present arrangement. The boulevard contains a straightWay on which the globes shine dimly in direct contrast 10 the arc lights of the state highway on Riverside ave- nue, which runs almost parallel.
 That greater care should be given 10 the city's lighting in general is the opinion of at least two city councilmen. who announced today that some action toward this end would be taken up in the ilnme- diate future.
 The city has taken steps 10 i'm prove the lighting arrangements to : some extent by the replacing Of many of the arc lights with a greater number Of incandcscent lamps, which have given more lighted space on many Of the streets. Nevertheless many citizens feel that there is plenty of room for improvement and for that reason. the matter will be brought 10 the attention Of the city officials for action.
