Slim looked up from the ground
and said, why not stay here a
while, instead? While you tots keep
me company, III think Of some good
plan.
"In fact, right now I have a
bunch that I am sure will please
this bunch. I'll have to think it
over. Be real patient, if you can"
The beasts had drifted out of
sight and every single Tinymite sat
down to wait till OF Slim told them
just what they should do.

dropping tulip have spied. If some
one here will water it, twill be as
good as new.
Then, when it's fresh as it can
be. very startling trick you'll see. .
I'll gladly do the watering" cried

it, from a pan.

Gee. how it's made me pant and

Well, sit right there and rest a

GIVE CREDIT WHEN DUE

If the following isn't a national
record, it IS at least a remarkable
achievement;
Drivers Of vehicles Of the Okla
hona Gas and Electric company
have, in the last ten years. driven
600, 900 miles without a fatal
accident. This is''equal to driving
around the earth at the equator
1870 times, or making the round
trip from New York to Los An
gaIes $500 times, or 70 years Of
continuous driving at 400 miles
day. q
If anything were needed to
prove, hat the terrific death rate
chargeds up against automobiles
is unnecessary. these facts are the
required.
The rules and regulations Of
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric
company which govern its drivers
the standpoint of inspection
Of equipment, training of person
mel, examination Of eyesight, etc.
could be followed by every single
driver in the land. If they were
followed, the death rate from
automobiles would be practically
eliminated.

ties expanded steadily. Soon he
was directing a ring which at one
time or another. numbered so
men and women. Later, when
they added up the money which
the doctor and his accomplices
h a d succeeded in extorting
through fake claims from honest
victims, ii totaled nearly $50, 600,
Unfortunately for the doctor,
fake claim practices are becoming
harder and harder to ger away
with. Inevitably the time came
when those who paid the dam
ageJ found the chance to fight
back. Aided by the vigiIant work
of the index bureau system main
tanned by the National Bureau Of
Casualty and Surety Underwrit-
ers. they closed in. An investi-
gator showed them how the doc
tor had kept from his associates
all but a fraction of the damages
collected. They became so angry
upon learning of the doctor 5 du-
that they told everything.
The doctor, faced with an ar
ray of incontfovertible evidence,
pleaded guilty, and went to the
penatantiary along with dozens of.
nie dupea actumplices.

FOR TIE FIRE DE


An Qp-to-date fire department.
g Is three duties,
FIRST, it should strive to pre-
ven fire, through property in
spections and by publioizing ways
and means of removing the un-
necessary and dangerously com
mon hazards that are responsible
for the great majority Of blazes.
Second, it must fight fire once
it has broken out-and 10 do this
successfully it must be equipped
with the best of apparatus, backed
up by adequate water and, alarm
facilities. and it must have a
trained and efficient personnel.
Third, it should carry on sal
wage work as a matter of regular
routine, in order to save as much
property as possible after fire has
struck.
This last duty Is the least
known Of the three. According
to a survey made by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters in
May. 1885. effective and regular
salvage work was being done BY
municipal fire departments in III
cities. Of which II maintained
separate pieces Of apparatus for
salvage work. In addition, lZ6
cities had salvage appliances
which were used to a more linn
tied extent. These cities were
in the MISREPRESENTATION
brackets-but even small towns
can, at little expense, bring saIv-
age within the scope Of fire de-
partTnent operations.
The consequences of fire are
always bad--but salvage can nit
gate them. Irreplaceable property
can be at least partially saved and
greatly reduced.
The three duties Of fire depart
ments are al essential-each full
fills a need vital to any comnun-

The Greedy Doctor

DR.. Samuel Harmon was not
the only Aeader Of a fake accident
ring whose greed led to his down
fall because ne appropriated too
much Of the take himself. But
DR.. Harnon's case sheds interest
ing light upon the lack Of honor
among thieves.
DR.. Harmon first got into the
business Of taking accidents when
he sprained his ankle while play
ing golf. He made it appear that
the ankle had. been injured when
he was struck by an auto and
through collision collected dam
ages. 4:
This. was only a small begin
ming for one as ambitious as Dr..
H4rmon. He didn' need to have
hi1nself hurt again. AS a doc
torshe was in a position 10 suggest
to poor patients who had received
m aajes in their homes or else
where, that they could translate
those Injuries into cash. For in
stanee,' one lady fell on a rug in
her house; tearing the ligaments
in, her, shoulder. When DR.. Har-
mon treated her, he told her she
could have. the shoulder fixed,
without its costing a cent. in fact,
he said, she could make some
money.
That night, according to ar
rangement. the woman fell beside
d car as it backed out of a drive
way. Under the doctors guild
ance and with the help of a shy
ster lawyer, she sued for damages.
Three months later, DR.. Harmon
brought her Some papers to sign
and gave her a few dollars. He
tell her about the much
sum which he had kept.

 Rain, snow, gales, fog and cold already had added to the horrors of the catastrophe or were pre- dicted for the weekend.

 The Connecticut river, which had struck savagely at the western Mas sachusetts cities of Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee and Northamp- ton, and at Connecticut's capital, Hartford, was rising slowly but steadily at mid-morning. At Spring field this largest of New England rivers dropped from 28.6 to 26.9 feet but then began swelling at the rate of an inch an hour as heavy rains set in at midnight and continued unabated.
 Meanwhile the Merrimack, though it had subsided slightly in New Hampshire, rose gradually in the eastern Massachusetts industrial

 Boston, Mass, March 2l--(UP)- Northeast Massachusetts and Maine experienced catastrophe new floods today. Heavy rains fell over wide area adding volume to rivers already over their banks and flooding or threatening 15 cities and towns. Famine and disease were grave men, ace. The Merrimack river rose higher over parts of Lowell and Haverhill, Mass. At Nashua, N. H. it drove refugees from homes to relief camps. In Maine the Andres coggin, Kennebec, Saco and Penob- scot rivers sitll were rising. All other New England rivers were sta- tionery at a high flood level or be- ginning to recede. The heavy rains that had swept the southern half of New England during the night ceased in most places early today, but more rains was predicted in flooded sections for today.
 The New England death toll stood at 38 known dead and seven more missing and feared dead.
 After an all night emergency ses- sion, the Massachusetts legislature appropriated 9750.0OO for immediate flood relief.

POLICE CHIEF
 WAS BIT ANGRY

Madison, Wis, March 2l-(UP)- Police Chief William H. McCor- mick, Irish and proud of it, has lost part of his enthusiasm for the teach ings of Prof. John L. Gillin, Uni versity of Wisconsin criminologist who instructs budding detectives for the Madison force. Gillin told the proteges persons of Irish descent broke the law more frequently than others. Mccormick, indignant, de- manded details, was relieved to learn that Irishmen's offenses were mostly misdemeanors, and Mexicans lead in violence.
