BY DAN NJ. KIDNEY


When the Bethard Wall Paper
Company burned out recently it
gave some of the firemen a chance
to see some flames. They saw them
through the windows on the fourth
floor of city hall If the windows
had been opened they might have
smelled the smoke. That would have
been a novelty indeed.
It's more than a quarter of CEN
tllry since these firemen have been
to a fire. One Of them never did
attend. He has been with the dc
partment since 1893.
If being a member of the safety
squad is the zenith of fire fighting
attainment, being a member of the
city hall group of firemen must be
the nadir. Their jobs are exactly
opposite. The safety squad attends
all the fires. The city hall group
none.
There is Francis Sloan. He was
a venturesome youth back in the
nineties. When the gong sounded
he was first to slide down the
creased pole. It's thirty years now
since ne has ever seen one. Except
the one he saw the other night
through the window.
Louis Gass is runner-up on the
Sloan record. He quit attending
fires back in 1898.
They retain their fireman rank
but spend their time handling the
Gamewell signal system. This con-

SPEAKER ATTACKS FREE
USE OF CARS BY YOUTH
ShOrtridge Principal Urges Placing
Confidence in Boys.

Free use of motor cars would
tend to give the young more of d
chance to do wrong" declared
George Buck, principal OF Shortridge
high school, in addressing the Bible
Investigation Club, Wednesday
hight. Buck stressed, however, the
need for leniency IN dealing with
youth.
eff you are too strict on a young
man, he may become rebellious,"
he said. 1.-THE young men of today
need to have our confidence placed
in them and if we show the right
disposition toward them, we will
not have so much trouble with
them"
Buck mentioned the recent case
in which a youth, who had taken a
neighsor's automobile, declared in
court that he did it because his
father refused the use of his own
car to the boy.
The Rev. E. L. Cooper, pastor
of Calvary United Brethren church,
delivered the invocation.

PEOPLE
OVER 40

People over 40 have to be careful
OF their blood pressure. It's at this
age, due to our abnormal living
habits, that our blood pressure be-
gins to slip up on us. And high
blood pressure shortens lite-nay
cut it off suddenly.
Modern living puts too great a
pressure upon the vital organs, es-
pecially the liver. The liver becon1~
ing weak and sluggish fails to
cleanse the blood of the poisons
formed in food waste. The whole
system then becomes toxic, with
stomach, kidneys, heart and blood
vessels affected.
The liver occasionally needs a lit
the help, and there's nothing better
for this, as physicians agree, than
OK gall. Ok gall is a remarkable
natural stimulant for the human
liver, promoting its normal active
functioning so essential to real
health. Dioxol tablets are genuine
OK gall in dainty and tasteless form,
each tablet representing 10 drops Of
pure OK gall. To be sure of getting
the genuine OK gall, be sure of get
ting Dioxol. They cost less than &c
each at good druggists, and few
bring delightful change.

RENEW COUNTY
ROAD BATTLE;
HIT AT COFFIN
Approval of Work Turned
Down Before Is Asked
of Council.

Approval Of a part Of the county
road system will be asked of the
county council at a special meet
ing Saturday. This work previous
ly was refused by the body.
Calling of the meeting late
Wednesday occupied the attention
of politicians today. 1t was looked
on by some observers as a move by
the Dodson faction of the Repub-
lican party to embarrass the fac
ton headed by George V. Coffin,
county chairman.
Refused Approval Before
The council is ruled by a majority
favorable to Coffin, while the coun-
ty commissioners court is governed
by Dodson majority.
Before such roads can be con-
structed, the council must 60
through the formality of declaring
them a utility and a public neces-
sity.
Such approval was refused last
fall.
John E. Shearer council member
favorable to the Coffin group, is
seeking a seat on the commission.
while another member, Frank Cones,
q DodSon supporter, is seeking the
nomination for treasurer, in oppo-
sition to the incumbent, Clyde E.
Robinson, a Coffin man. Henry
Campbell, county surveyor, Dodson
supporter, is seeking denomination.
He backs the road program.
Dunn Issues Call
The call for the meeting was is
sued by Harry Dunn, County au-
ditor, a courthouse leader of the
Dodson faction.
The DodSon man opposing Shear
er in the race for the commissioner
nomination is Seth c. Klein. Camp
bell is opposed by Paul Roscoe
Brown, Coffin hacker.
Roads to be passed on are: Col
lege Ave. from Seventy-First st. to
the county line; High School Rd.
from Valley Mills to Rockville Rd.;
E. Tenth st. from Arlington Ave.
to Cumberland, and the Holt Rd.

Trying for a Record

Royal v. Thomas Of Durant,
Okla, has been in the air over
Long Island Flying Fields since
1890 p. m. yesterday in a
single-handed attempt to break
the worlds endurance record.
To do this he must remain in
the air 81 hours, SO minutes and
Al seconds. That is a long time
to fly alone, but with deter
mination he can win.
You can test your own endur-
ance and determination by
building a savings account at
the City Trust Company. If
you save regularly and don't
weaken or quit you will win
the record of endurance and a
good bank balance will be your
reward.

The Two Americas.
Manchester Guardian.


 'The Two Americas is a phrase with a dis tinctly old-fashioned ring about 1t, but there would appear to be urgent need for it's re- vival-not in a geographical but social sense. There must in fact be two Americas, and both of them within that part of the northern half of the continent which is known as U s. A One of these two Americas cancels a lecture engage ment which had been made for Miss Maude Royden, and cancels it on the high moral ground that she has been known to smoke cigarettes. The other-well, the other is the permanent possessor of "crme wave" that would be re- garded anywhere in Europe as disgraceful and of press which exploits every aspect of crime in every much the same way that eighteenth century London turned out to procession to Tyburn. There must be, of course, third America in the United States--an America which is ready to smile at the behavior of the Chicago society which has apparently declined to hear Miss Royden because she smokes cigarettes as it is to be mortified at the idea of a Cali fornian murderer of the> most hdeous kind re- peately hauled out of train by the policemen in charge of him in order that he may pose for the press photographers One can only sym pathize with this shadowy third of America, for its views and opinions get a, remarkably poor show in the which is cabled across the Atlantic. There are, perhaps, too many so- cieties of sort another in the world all ready, but there seems to be real need for one addition to them--a Society for the Protection of Good Americans from the Publicity which is Awarded to the Others.
