FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

This year. Fire Prevention
Week" will cover the period from
October to the 18th. inclusive.
1t was on October 9. just fifty
three years ago that the Chicago
fire. one Of the greatest confla-
grations in the history of the
world occurred and Fire Proven
ton Week" is in memory of that
disaster.
In a proclamation issued this
week and requesting observance
of the period named, Governor
j. A. o. Preus calls attention TO
the fact that in the year 1923, in
the United States. 1900 persons
lost their lives by fire and that
there was a property loss Of
$3.50. 100000. On the basis of
the last federal census this was a
per capita loss of $500.
While the loss Of lives and
property is slightly under that
Of the year previous still the toll
is appalling and calls for the
serious consideration of every
property owner in the state. As
his excellency points out fire In
surance by no means covers the
loss: it merely distributes the
burden Of paying for the proper
ty destroyed. AT a time when
timber is growing scarcer and
higher in prices" says the chief
executive. We can i'll afford 10
permit this huge waste of ma
terial."
The word stupendous best de-
scribes the property loss as re-
ported but it is the great loss Of
life that appeals. That 1900
lives should have been snuffed
out by the fire fend is unthink-
able. yet such is a fact and the

 Driving With Broken MuTlcr
 John Lindquist of 12 Wakefield court fell the first victim of the drive by the police on motorists who oper- ate their machines with cutouts open and broken mufflers. He was arrest ed this morning by Patrolman Doher- ty on West Main street after a com plaint had been sent into the police station by Dwight A. Warren of 6G2 West Main street that an automobile was being driven about that section of the city every morning with the cut out open and making so much noise that people in the neighborhood were awakened by it.
 Doherty told the court that he was driving out West Main street when he heard the thunderous roar of ma chine approaching from the rear, and thinking that it was fire apparatus, he drew into the side of the street to allow it to pass, only to see Lindquist drive by. Eb placed him under ar rest.
 |. Lindquist told the court that the muffler on the machine was broken last week and that he has not had time to have it fixed. Judgment was suspended and the court warned the defendant not to drive the machine again until the muffler was repaired.
 Lights Not In Condition
 Judgment was suspended in the case of Vincent Smith, charged with not having proper lights on his ma chine. He was arrested near the South church last night by Patrolman Doherty, who told the court that he had his lights on dim, and one of the headlights were out and the taillight was also out.
 Smith told the court that his head lights were in good condition, but when he drove into the center of the city, he had turned off the bright lights and turned on the dinners, not knowing that one of the dim lights was broken. He said that he had fixed his lights last night and evident " forgot to connect up the tail light.

MAY CLOSE STORES'
 SATURDAYS AT NOON
Several Merchants Already Adopt Schedule for Summer Months

That the proposed Saturday half holiday closing which was voted down
 on a divided vote at meeting of the local merchants Is not dead, is indi-
 cated by the fact that there seems to
 be decided movement on in the city
 at this time to close up the stores Sat
 urday afternoon instead of Wednesday
 afternoon. It. is understood that
 canvass will be made in the near fu-
 ture of the business places along Main
 street to get the sentiment, but in the
 meantime several of the leading mer- cantile firms have definitely decided to close.
 It is argued by the opponents of Saturday closing that this will give the employees a weekend holiday rather than a half day at one time and a full day on Sunday. The plan is to keep open Friday evenings for shoppers, and close at noon Saturday, giving the same number of shopping hours and the same number of work ing hours.
 Heads of firms which employ two organizations, sales organization and a trade organization, find themselves in an inconvenient position, it is ar gued, by giving the sales department a half holiday Wednesday, as has been | the usual custom, and the mechanical ! or trades department a half holiday i Saturday. This requires that some | one in the accounting and bookkeep- | ing departments must work both | times, telephone operators are needed | upon both occasions it is argued, the | overhead expenses are increased ! thereby.
 With the Saturday closing those in favor of it, say they can give all their employees the same half holiday off and the firm will not be inconven- fenced. On the other hand, firms which do an installment business ar que that people are in the habit of paying their weekly installments on and change in the busi- ness program would seriously cripple 
 The canvass of the merchants in general may not be done for several V "sHa : 'h bhb ih iS btiib 'iloibuSllis hrashed out on the street in the meantime. It was announced this morning that of the firms which had definitely decided to close their doors rom noon Saturday until Monday morning were Rackliffe Brothers Co.,, he B. C. Porter Co.,, and the Adkins Printing Co.
 The half holiday closing on We'd lesdays will start the last Wednesday If this month. Those who have de- 'ided to close Saturdays will start ither the last Saturday Of this month 'r the first Saturday after July 4th.

Plaintiff and Respondent.

Donald Southall,
Defendant and Appellant.
SYLLABUS:
I. In bastardy proceedings, the
rules governing trials in civil. cases
apply: the state has the burden of
proving the material facts by pre-
ponderance d evidence.
2. Where the testimony tends to
show that the defendant and another
man carnally knew the complaining
witness during the period. of gesta
ton, and where the complaining wit
ness positively denies connection with
a man other than the defendant, and
testifies that the defendant is the on
ly man who ever had carnal connec-
ton with her, it is held, for reasons
stated in the opinion, that the find
ings Of the trial court against the
defendant on the issue of paternity
