COURT OF HONOR
 REQUEST SIGNED
(Continued from First Page)

but that the contract for the monu- ment itself, I am told, has not yet been awarded.
 T have been deeply impressed by our court of honor since l saw it for the first time. and I have written and spoken of 1t many times. It has been my privilege to discuss this problem with between three hun dred and five hundred persons, it may be moro, In varied walks of life. Many of those persons, knowing my sentiments accorded so perfectly with their own, have urged me to seek means of popular expression by vote. Most everyone with whom I talk of this seems to think public sentiment in favor of retaining the court of honor. In any event. the peo- pie feel this matter is especially near and dear to them, for many reasons.
 "A comparison of the two styles of memorial. the one proposed, and the court of honor. will soon reveal that the posts in the court of honor tell the thoughtful, as they bow in silent tribute. before each one of them counting as they advance. of the horrible and wthering effects of war. The single shaft, towering heavenward, in an artificial grandeur Intentionally given if. to the end that it may glorify war, rtaher than serve as a warning, is yet another appeal. The posts beau tifully portray the hellish harvest resulting from dispute between highly civilized nations.
 The purpose of addressing this letter to you is to solicit your aid in finding the true wishes of your people, if such action does not conflict with your duty as you see it.
 Tt may be that the voters will sustain the committee, and it is con- ceivable that it may be considered wise, to spend larger sum of money, to perpetuate the court of honor.
 "In any event it will be pleasing to know that the result will meet the approval of the greatest num- ber."

but l believe there should be po- lice guard accompanying them. The trips as a rule require half an hour or a little longer, so I feel that the police department could let us have guard without interfering to any great extent with the work of the police elsewhere It would amount to putting a policeman at the dis posal of the post office department when valuable mail was being sent back and forth. The policeman would be released for his routine duty immediately on completion of this assignment"
 Chief Hart advised the postmas- ter to communicate with the police board and the request would be given consideration. Chairman Pajewski also favors this course and indicated that an arrangement might be made 10 cooperate as sug- gested by the postmaster.
 Postmaster Erwin said the ques- ton might be asked as 10 why the United States marines are not sta toned here to afford protection to the mails, as they have been as- signed 10 such duty elsewhere. He pointed out that the time the pro- lection is required is so short that if would be unwise to detail q marine. He would be needed not more than an hour a day. "Then, too." he said, from the standpoint of civic pride, I believe we should do all we can ourselves, by look ing after onr own service. The po- lice are public servants, just as the postal employees are, and there should be cooperation. After all, this is simply matter of cooper ation for the common good.'

 The La Rocca apartment house on Sherman court which owners of adjoining properties believed was erected under a permit for five apartments. and which is now oc- cupied by six tenants, was built under permit making such occu- pancy legal, perusal of the records in city hall show.
 This information has been con- veyed to the remonstrants. The permit was issIed under previous board and inspector. and the pres ent staff has adopted policy of mediating only in disputes arising under its tenure of office. This de- cision was necessitated by the rapidly increasing number of com- plaints and reports being received at the office which. if followed up in every instance, would require the entire time of the inspectors, it is claimed. Disputes between property owners must be settled by them selves or in the courts, according to the new policy announced to- day at the inspectors office.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
PRUNES

PRUNES
Something has. got to be done about
Bill;
And he looks like a child who's about
to be i'll
Because there are prunes for des-
sert
He knows he must eat them at least
once a week
If he wants to be manly and tall,
Instead of sissy boy, puny and
weak,
But he says that he hates them,
that's all.
We tell him of children in alien lands
Who would cry with surprise and
delight
And eagerly stretch out their thin
little hands
If prunes were their portion to-
night.
But the spoon by his plate he refuses
to touch,
And he says in sour little whine
IF there are any children that like
EN- so much,
Then why don't you let them have
mine?"
We try to explain that rich puddings
and pie
Make little boys ailing and pale
So they cannot play football or skate
by and by
But it never is any avail. ~
He sits there a horrible picture OF
gloom
Then his knife on the table he
filings,
And says, as he angrily stamps from
the room:
well, I amt going to eat the
darn things.''
Something has got to be done about
Bill,
He ought to eat prunes, we arc
sure
A youngster with such an unbreak-
able will
Is terribly hard to endure.
"a child is a problem" we frequently
say
With troubled and sorrowing sigh,
But since he insists upon having his
way,
Perhaps he had better have pie" :
