Last week was an extremely busy
week at the congregational church /;
and the social rooms of the church
were in almost constant demand.

chapter of the Izaak Walton League

Problems of the Teen Age Boy" A
discussion followed as to the recrea.
tional needs Of boys ana girls, and
other civic problems were discussed.
A substantial lunch was served by a
group of ladies of the church.
Wednesday afternoon the Woman's
Auxiliary of the American Legion en-
tertained for the Earnest Workers in
the church dining room.

who delivered a stirring address up
on the theme, THE Trails End" A
delicious dinner was served by Mr.,
and Mrs. Perreault.
On Friday evening dancing party
was given by the X. r. WIS in the
church dining room. This was the
first dancing party to be given in the
church, and all who were in atten-
dance were enthusiastic because Of
the good time had and the manner
in which the dance was conducted. A
very large number were present, and
all felt that it was very worthy ad-
dition to the social ministries of the
church.

Voice Calls" the text; Eye therefore

FIRE DANGER is
WINTER MENACE
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION GIVES
ADVICE ON PREVENTION OF
WINTER FIRES

With early winter and cold wealth.
er upon us and stoves, furnaces and
boilers going, extra care is necessary
to prevent fires, and so protect prop
erty and human lie.
Wisconsin's fire loss for 1924, as
reported to the state fire marshal.
was $1O,491, $50. OF this great waste,
a loss of $2,4OO,7O1 was due to heat
ing plant defects and mismanage
ment.
Defective chimneys, unclean chin
neys, burning out, sparks from chin
neys on single roofs, defective
stoves furnaces boilers and fire
places, stoves, furnaces and smoke
pipes too near unprotected woodwork
clothing hung too near stoves and
smoke pipes and placing ashes in
wooden receptacles or against com
bustible walls are the causes assigned
Let it be noted that there is moth
ing technical about these fire causes,
nor the remedies necessary to correct
them. The careful man who wants to
protect the lives of those dear to
him, and his property, can easily dis
cover such fire causes and can readily
correct them. Newspaper items such
as "home in ashes, overcome by
smoke, burned while they slept, les
capped in their night clothes,' or les.
cape cut off" all point to some care
less man, some guilty conscience.
Such fires can be- prevented. Answer
NOW conscientiously the following
questions, or the coroner will answer
them for you later:

SOLID TIRE BAN
To RECEIVE
TRYOUT
Results of Experiment Will
determine Fate OF Rule,
Says Colonel Bell !

The possibility of repeating the
recently adopted traffic regulation
barring solid-tired trucks from Six.
teenth street northwest and several
other highways will rest with the
results of the experiment, Lieut..
Col. J. Franklin Bell, Engineer Com.
missioner, said today.
"It would not be possible to
adopt any regulation ofs this kind
without hearing objections" said
Col. Bell, land the only reason 1t
was approved was to give Director
Eldridge an opportunity to prove
that in this way he could make
traffic flow more smoothly"
1t is indicated that the traffic
flow on Fourteenth street will be
relieved under the regulation. John
H. Hanna, vice president Of the
Capital Traction Company, has
voiced his disapproval Of the
amendment. holding that it will
force trucks to use Fourteenth
street, thus impeding the progress
of his street cars.
Col. Bell pointed out that this
regulation probably would cause
great deal of comment, and it un
.doubtedly would be necessary TO
amend it from time to time to
meet requirements.
