said the hose Is not drawn over the floor.
 It was suggested that someone ought to be at fire headquarters all of she time. That some one person be made responsible for the hose And there was more general discus sion.
 Chief Thurston said that volun- teer fire department "is the most ex- pensive proposition in the world. He spoke of automobiles being driven over hose al fires. Some one asked why the police don't stop it Mir. Thurston said he didn't know why, but they didn't. Then someone ask. ed what was the good of having fire police if they don't do anything. And there was more discussion.
 Police Wake Up
 Alderman Chadwick said Tt Is time for the police to wake up and en' force some of these ordinances or we might just as we'll have no police force here at all. ]"
 IL was unanimously admitted that hose for the department must be pro NlAtu anu hfAtA AfAfff RNNAN " F~ Nf+ftN way to keep 1t free from acid.
 It was then that the mayor and the chief supported Alderman Ryan's view that someone is pouring acid on the hose.
 Mayor Richards. "Candidly l think it is up to the chief.
 Chief "I would have to live there
 The matter was finally referred to the fire committee.
 Useless Lock
 Then the chief spoke of the lock placed on the door at fire head quarters, a lock that lasted no time at all. and brought up the matter of the good fellows" as associate mem bcrs hanging around headquarters, and followed the mayors assurance of support by replying that there will be some drastic action"
 The mayor said the city has some valuable equipment, equipment at least necessary, and that some way ought to be found to protect it Re ferred Co the fire committee tO in vestigate.
 Alderman Chadwick said that there is a dangerous situation through con gestion on School street when high school games are in progress. Again it was asked why the police didn't act. The matter was finally referred to the highway and police depart ments
 About Compensation
 Then Mr. Thurston said that C. D. Sharpe should be compensated for the use of his private automobile on city department business. He said Mir. Sharpe had not asked for com pensation and knew nothing about the matter being brought up, but he thought it was only fair to Mir. Sharpe. He said the water commis- siOners were Investigating matters concerning the department and try ing to put it on a business basis.
 The mayor asked fl the same rule wouldn't apply Co other departments.
 Alderman Dean said the police hire taxis.
 The commissioner said that Ar. sharpe's position is different That he has to go to the pumping station and to all parts of the city. You don't do business right here in busi- ness like way" charged the water commissioner.

Wants More Hose

Then Chief Ihurston arose and asked for ,O00 feet of hose. Several times the mayor said "I can't under stand 1t. There must be something radically wrong in the department. !" It was then that the chief said he had been three years trying to have the floor fixed and if it is not fixed the city would lose all of it's hose. He said that the men were careless when filling the extinguishers and got acid all over themselves and the floor.
 What good is 1t going 10 do to have a new floor under such circum- stances?" asked the mayor. He said the only solution was Co have "a re- movable floor that could be taken out when the extinguishers are fill- ed"
 The mayor asao stated that the city has got to keep within it's appropria- tions and that Commissioner Blodgett is getting after municipalities that do not do this. "We nave got to make appropriations sufficiently large and keep within them," he said.

Bawling Out Men
Phone Main 2s43

We heard conversation the other
day between some men about the
ways of our women. We stopped to
listen. One of the men was uphold
ing the colored woman and the
others were giving her down the
country The gist of the opinion
was that other women get their way
with the men by flattering, cajoling
and coaxing, but that our women be-
gin their courtship by "bulling" and
bawling out their chosen male friend
and continue until divorce or death
or the Chosen" runs off with an
other woman. Not having been the
chosen of any Of our women we
are unable to say editorially what
success our women have by "bulling
and bawling out" their swcethearts,
but we certainly. get our share of it
in business matters, We know other
business men do likewise. Feminine
sweetness is a characteristic fast dis
appearing among all American wo-
men, white and black. They are get
ting coarse and ugly in their deal
ings with their males, and losing
their personal charm. which rs al
ways an accompaniment of good
manners. That a man resents being
"bullied" is something they find. hard
to understand, and when he. turns
and strikes back they are the first
to cry out SHANE, shame, he is fuss
ing with a woman More flies are
caught with sugar than With vine
gar" is an adsge that well might be
remembered by some of our women
in particular.
