Duck Hunters
Ducked in Lake

Two young men from the Twin
Cities brought a duck boat and
while hunting ducks at Pine lake Sun
day got not only ducks but a ducking.
One of them was shooting over his
head as the ducks flew over and the
boat upset, throwing the occupants
into the cold water. Walter Makela
rowed out to them, where the older
one was clinging to the boat and hold
ing up the younger man who was
nearly exhausted from cold and ex-
posture. Although they lost their guns
it is fortunate that no more serious
result occurred. The young men work
in a gun shop in the Cities and the
younger one, Mr.. Samuels, has visited
near here occasionally.

PIONEER WOMAN
PASSES AWAY
Mrs. William GlaSOw of Pine City,
Stricken and Dies Suddenly With
Heart Trouble.

Mrs William F. Glasow. "A, Of Pine
City died suddenly at the family resi-
dence in that village last Thursday,
October 80. Apparently in good health
for a person of advanced years, Mrs.
Glasow was stricken suddenly with
heart trouble and passed away after
being i'll but few minutes.
Mrs. Glasow, whose maiden name
was Ernstina Guetskow, was born in
Germany on November "a, 1856 and
immigrated to America when young
girl Of sixteen years. She came to
Rush City, Minnesota, with her par
ents who settled at that place and
lived there for many years. On No
vember II, 1874, she was united in
marriage to William F. GLASGOW, then
a young business man of Pine City.
The young couple established their
home in Pine City and to their union
thirteen children were born, eleven
of whom are living.
The names of the children, six of
whom are boys, and five girls, are
Albert, Henry, Arthur, George, Will
liam and Richard, Mrs. Thomas Cos
grove, Mrs. Marion Lones, Mrs. Arthur
Friend, Mrs. William Tunell, and Mrs.
Edward Chamney. One girl and one
boy preceded their mother in death,
they being Anna and Frederick. Mrs.
GLASGOW will ever be remembered as
a faithful and loving mother to her
large family of children, for besides
her own children, she adopted one
girl who had unfortunately been left
homeless. Besides Mrs. GLASGOW was
loved and respected by her neighbors
and friends and known to be faith
full church worker in the Zion Evan
gelical Lutheran church of Pine City,
to which she belonged. Funeral serv-
ices were held at the family residence
on Monday at o'clock and at the
church at 2:30 with the Rev. Carl NJ.
Steging, pastor, conducting the serv-
ices. The pallbearers were the six
SONS and interment was made in the
Brentwood cemetery.

BLAZE SWEEPS
DENHAM BLOCK
Seven Buildings are Con-
sumed in Last Thursdays
Conflagration.
Total Loss is Estimated at
From $4,000 to $4,000;
Partly Insured.

At about midnight on Thursday oil
last week fire of unknown origin was
discovered in the Fraternity hall
building at Denham. The blaze had
already gained such Roadway that
without adequate fire-fighting appa-
ratus nothing could be done to check
it. The flames, famed by northwest
wind, spread rapidly from building to
building, reducing those in the entire
block to ashes. Fortunately, the wind
shifted slightly, and this was OF
great help to the volunteer freight
ers, who succeeded in saving the
buildings on the east side of Main
street.
The bulldogs which burned were,
operative store, the Zezulka black
smith building, Hennessy lumber yard
and hardware store, the Danelski-
Hyska store building, the Agnes Mar
tichuski building, and the Jos. Suk
Mercantile store building.
The Fraternity hall was built in
1920-21 by the local camp of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, and housed
the vitaphone and moving picture ma
chine belonging to Tony Suk.
The apartment over the Suk store
had been remodeled recently and was
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Tony Suk.
The Farmers Cooperative company
have leased the restaurant building
and will soon be prepared to serve
their patrons as formerly. Hennessy
Lumber Co. are using the west side
section house as temporary quarters,
while Suks will re-condition their
warehouse and use that as store
building for the present. The Hen
messy Hardware is operating in the
house owned by Carl Peterson.
The total loss is probably between
$4,000 and $4,000, which is partly
covered by insurance.

An Acute Crisis in Chicago.

With heavy fall Of snow in This city
the people Of Washington are able to
sympathize keenly with the unhappy
victims Of Chicago's oficial incompe-
tence that has led to the complete
failure Of payments to municipal and
county employees. Thousands Of people
are today penniless because Of the lack
Of pay rolls for several weeks. Num-
bers Of them are being evicted from
their homes for failure 10 pay rent.
Landlords are daily taking more and
more cases to court on this score, and
families are being put into the street,
to be cared for by the charities. This,
in Midwinter, is desperately close to
tragedy.

to clear up for the better, despite the
efforts Of citizens Of influence to secure

Perilous Panther Hunting.

Panther hunting around Washington
has become perilouS. The panther It
self-if there be one, which Is not as
sured-is not the element of danger.
It. whatever it may be, has supposedly
destroyed some live stock, particularly
pigs. 1t has not attacked humans. II
has most particularly avoided encoun-
tering humans. It is a most elusive
beast.
But the panther hunters are them
selves the source Of danger. They are
shooting promiscuously and rather
Wildly. Already two casualties are at
trinuted to panther hunters, fortunate
" neither very grave. though one might
have been fatality but for the slender
est margin Of space in the direction Of
the shot.
Inexperienced gunner are out on the
panther trail, with pistols and larger
weapons, some old guns, some new.
1nasmuch as the panther is, in its real
character, rather awesome beast. the
hunting of this particular "critter'' is
calculated to try the nerves of those
who go forth on the trail, especially
as most Of them have never had any
experience whatever In the pursuit Of
feline game. In such conditions gums
are likely to be prematurely fred. or
reckleSSly aimed. With a "iunnpv"
gunner anything may happen, in the
dark.
1t is really about time to call of
the hunt. 1t has been a provokinSly
unproductive one. 1t has yielded moth
ing In results, save disappointments.
It has come close to taking two human
lives. Let those who have poultry and
stock to lose to the night prowler safe
guard their property. Panthers can
not perform miracles Of breaking and
entering, as the indictments say. But
even 10 1t Is far better to lose a few
chickens or even pigs than to have to
hold inquests over dead people, slain

tain an order requiring taxes 70 be
levied on the basis Of the 1927 valua-
tons. Thus no tax bills can be mailed
out for revenues two years due, until
the present reaSsessment is completed.
Not only are the salary pay rolls In
arrears, but there Is no cash In hand
to meet the requirements of the pension
list. These disbursements are due Feb
'rusry 6, to the amount of $4,000, to
meet which the county board has only
$4,000 In hand. This means that the
pensioners viii get only about sixty
cents on the dollar on that date. They
are lucky to get as much as that, being
sixty per cent better on than the peo-
pie on the active lists, who are getting
nothing.
An effort is to be made to get money
from New York, and yet there is no
reason for hope that the bankers there
viii take risk that the Chicago bankers
refuse. This is decidedly a case where
charity must begin at home.

fciency that has brought the city to its

Relieving Congestion.

The main point Of interest for the
city as whole in the controversy over
transfer Of seventh and eighth grade
pupils from the Burroughs School.
north Of Rhode Island avenue, to the
Langdon School, south of Rhode Island
avenue, Is that the case becomes typical
Of the problem facing school authori-
ties when they go about relieving con-
gestion.
One OF the striking points brought
out In the series Of articles on the
schools now running In The Star is the
contrast between crowded schools In
one neighborhood and schools with
many more seats than pupils In another
neighborhood. The natural way to 60
about relieving such congestion is by
transferring pupils from the crowded
to the uncrowded school buildings. But
here, as In the case Of the Burroughs
School, the school authorities imme-
ditely become faced with the wrath Of
indignant parents who refuse to agree
that their children should be the ones
transferred.
There Is more than this, Of course, In
volved In the transfer Of Burroughs
School pupils to the new Langdon. The
Burroughs parents believe that relief in
that school could be effected otherwise
than by transferring seventh and
eighth grade students to q building
that seems to need filling UP" and they
do not take kindly to the school boards
policy Of forming the nucleus for a new
junior high at Langdon. But the
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens Associa-
ton approves the boards policy and is
prepared to back it to the limit.
The board, in the meantime, has al
ready considered the merits Of the case,
according to its own point Of view, de-
spite the complaints Of the Burroughs
parents that they have been denied q
fair hearing. What the merits are must
be decided by the constituted authori-
ties. In the meantime they win do well
to remove any doubts in the minds of
the Burroughs citizens that their COM
plants have fallen on deaf ears. Citi-
zens with complaint have every right
TO full hearing and it should be ac-
corded them, whatever the final decision
In the case is to be.
It Is pleasing to note that officials of
the Burroughs Citizens Association re-
fuse to substantiate rumcrs that a par
erts' strike" would follow failure to win
their case. Such Strikes" in addition
to being rather poor examples TO the
children themselves. accomplish no good
In the end and are more colorful than

''Sane Crossing Laws"
To Curb Crashes Urged
40 the Editor Of The star:

To tho Editor Of The Star:
Many Of our great statesmen are over
come with grief because a few smugglers
have lost their lives in the defiance of
Government officers and demand an
amendment to the Constitution making
1t conform to the wishes Of such men.
These same men are utterly uncon-
cerned about the many thousands Of
law-abiding citizens killed every year
and the greater number injured in auto
mobile accidents, most Of which could
be avoided by framing and enforcing a
few sane laws.
The accident at Berea, Ohio, recently,
like thousands similar would have been
avoided by the simple means Of requir-
ing the locomotive engineer to sound
his whistle three or four times at in
tervals all within hearing from the
crossing, instead of sounding it four
short blasts a quarter of q mile away.
where it Is not likely to be heard or, II
heard, is known to be false alarm.
A car at or very near a crossing when
train Is a quarter Of q mile away may
cross in perfect safety and be nearly q
quarter mile away before the train ar
rives,. while a car arriving at the
crossing after the distant whistle was
sounded has no warning. At 20 miles
per hour car runs 20 feet per second,
enough to clear the tracks. A train 1t
go miles per hour ruYS SO feet per Sec
ond. So that, to hit .khe car, it must be
not over SO feet Sway when the car
starts across the track If the whistle
were sounded about 500, 400, 500 and
200 feet respectively before the crossing,
one or more would certainly be heard,
and any one would be In plenty of time
to stop. It would be heard by any one
with hearing whether absent-minded,
asleep or drunk, unless he had too much
personal liberty.
The stop, look and listen" slogan
has been tried since railroads first be-
gan. The rapidly increasing number of
accidents should convince the most
conservative" that 1t is not a success.
Upon the other hand, to stop where q
train could not be seen or heard by
stopping would increase the risk of
being hit. 1t takes about 10 seconds
to shift gears, start and crawl over the
track. A train anywhere within $50
feet would hit you. There are many
places where train could not be seen
or heard anywhere near that distance.
The law requiring q car to stop at
crossings where a train could readily
be seen a mile away in either direction
without stopping is in the same class
as the distant whistle law.
Crossing signals which begin to op-
crate long before train Is near are
false alarms and are ignored. If they
did not operate until 1t was actually
unsafe to cross they would be regarded
as honest warnings and be needed.
There are thousands of common
causes OF accidents which could be
eliminated by the enforcement of sane
laws. G. M. BURBOWER.

Opponent of Market
Denies Advantages
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
My letter In The Star venturing t.
question the necessity of a new down
town central CD market was answered
recently by H. L. Walker, who statek
the people prefer the central CD mar
ket. No doubt H. l.. W. Is one of our
old inhabitants, welded to old institu-
tons. A pretty sentiment, I admit, but
in this instance woefully lacking in
logic.
Since the present old central (?)
market was established, many years
ago, Washington has grown so that it
is no longer central, but as much out
OF the way as possible, If you Judge by
the difficulty In getting there, now that
the residential sections are so far away
and street congestion so potent factor.
And, as said in my previous letter, we
have many good markets and chain
stores in more convenient locations. So
why should the housewife have to travel
by auto or street car when her objective
can be conveniently found near her
home? To the question Of new down.

Now Is the time for al good unen To

Inc District government, barely able, at

There is law to that effect, but it Is

resident who failed to do this or to have
it done felt DECEASED.
Those were other days. Now there is
much less individualism about the sit-
uation. There are more apartment
houses and many more apartment
jewellers, who have no responsibility
whatever for the state Of the sidewalks
after storm in Winter. The community
spirit has tagged, In this respect. Side
walks are neglected without shame and
without peril Of the law. The snow

There is decided sense Of well-doine
