SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
RpjuyPnatiOn

All in the gentle Month of May
Our hearts grow confidently gay.
The future will fulfill each wish.
We're going to catch enormous fish.
In golf we're going to make a score
Which never was attained before.
In spite of efforts which have failed.
Each ball club has the Pennant nailed.
The little Gardens going to bring
Corn, beans and peas and everything.
And every hope seems simple truth.
Though disappointment often rise
To hurt the heart and cloud the skies.
We wait in patience day by day
For the exultant Month of May.

Chief NOBLE TO issue
PERMITS TO BURN LEAVES
Hcnd OF Fire Department to Take
Charge With Acquiescence OF
Chief Hnrt.

Permits for burning leaves and
rubbish viii be issued by Chief
William j. Noble Of the fire depart
mcnt in the future instead of by the
police, as has been the custom for
some time. The question of these
permits was considered by the two
chiefs recently and 1t was decided
that the fire department was vitally
interested In the matter OF fires,
while they were really outside the
province Of the police department.
Chief Noble said that he felt the
purpose of the ordinance requiring
persons 10 have permits to build
rubbish fires was primarily to en-
able the fire officials TO know where
these fires wcrc, who was tending
them and to make certain that
there was no great fire hazard in
them. In the past. the permits
were issued by the chief Of police.
AMI the fire officials had no way OF
checking up or controlling them.
, Granting Of permits to parties for
a long period of time will be done
away with In the future. so that
people desiring to burn up rubbish
and leaves will have to do 1t at the
time specified on the permit they
receive. Chief Noble said that
under the old system, people with
permits extending over long period
could build bonflres on windy days,
during exceptionally dry periods and
times when the authorities would
not consider permitting the building
Of them. No permits will be Issued
on windy days or during extended
dry spells. 1t Is believed that fire
risks from bonfres will be greatly
reduced by the new system.
