Matches as a household and vest

old. John Walker of London made
the first box of matches early in 1925,
placing 81 matches to box, for which

The price was comparatively high,

prospered quickly.
The safety match was developed in
1855, although it was not introduced

RUBBISH STARTS
FIRE IN HOME
Firemen Work an Hour
Subduing Flames at 327
Wescott Street.
OTHER CHIMNEY FIRES

A small pile of rubbish ignited by a
spark started considerable fire in the
home of w. r.. Roberts, 327 Wescott
street, Friday at $3.50 a. m, according
to Fire Chief Schwartz, following an
investigation of the origin which he
completed this morning.
Mrs. Roberts had tended the furn-
ace at six o'clock and used no matches,
she said. Everything was all right in
the basement then. The fire chief de-
cided that a spark must have escaped
from the furnace while the doors were
open, and fallen into the rubbish pile
which contained paper also. The
flames went to the ceiling and had
started burning through two partitions
before it was discovered.
Causes $500 Loss.
The fremen were at work about an
hour and ten minutes conquefing the
blaze. Loss resulted at about 5000 all
told, including $500 on the building
and $500 on the furniture.
There were several other fires Fri
day, all small. At 12:40 p. M, the
fremen answered call to 826 Ed
ward street, and at $500 p. M, call
to 729 Racine avenue. In each case
the loss was negligible.

FIND RUSE Is
STILL WORKING
State Dry Raiders Nab
Another Bartender for
! Hip-LiquOr.
HANDS OVER BOTTLE

State dry raiders who were in Ke-
nosha on Thursday to testify regard
ing several cases pending in the local
courts, made the trip serve double
purpose.
After completing their work in
court Thursday afternoon, they start
ed back to Milwaukee by motor but
on the way halted at the Haywood
"Gus" Palmer tavern on the Burling-
ton road at it's intersection with
Highway 81.
The state raiders-Carl Henning and
Harry Hewitt--had testified in court
here in two cases how they had "fol-
lowed hunch" and ordered bartenders
to hand over bottles from their hip
pockets. They decided to try it out
again before leaving the county.
Ruse Works Again.
The ruse worked again, according
to the report of the raid made by
the state officers to District Attorney
Lewis Powell.
The officers found man named
Hancy behind the bar waiting on
customers.
Give me that bottle you've got in
your hip, pocket" officer Henning said
to him.
Without a word the bartender hand
ed over the bottle. 1t contained, ac-
cording to the officers, pint of moon
shine. Palmer, the owner of the
tavern, was not there at the time. He
is not unknown in court circles here,
having formerly operated a place in
Kenosha and after that time in Racine.
Was the Same Ruse.
This was the same ruse which was
used by the raiders when they found
liquor at the Barney Google Inn on
Sheridan road and at the Grandview
Inn on the Geneva road several weeks
ago, the preliminary hearings in which
cases were held on Thursday.
John Ferkin, the bartender at the
Barney Google Inn, was bound over
for trial on a charge of having liquor
in his possession. The attempt to
hold George Wavro, owner of the
Grandview Inn for the charge was
blocked by a technicality when it APP
pea1ed that he did not have a permit
and the case against him was dis
missed. warrant was Immediately
sworn out and served on Tom Elem
ing, the bartender at the Grandview
Inn, charging him with possession of
liquor.
District Attorney Powell stated this
morning that a check-up revealed that
there had been 2O3 liquor arrests dur
ing the first two months of his admin
istration. This, he said, was a new
record for law enforcement far the
county.
