CHANGE FAVORED.
 BY FIRE BOARD
Bremen May Report Half an Hour Earlier if COm-
 mittee Recommends

Bremen will go on duty at 7:30 a. m. and 5:30 p. m., rather than the present schedule of a. m. and 6 p. m. if the committee on rules and efficiency of the board of fire commissioners approves their re- quest for such a change. The con- mittee was yesterday authorized by the board to change the roll call time if 1t favors such a move.
 The matter was brought up yes- terday by Commissioner Burton Walker, who said that decision on the firemens request had been pending for two months and that action should be taken.
 The board gave Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh permission to attend the annual convention of the New Eng land Fire Chiefs association at Manchester, N. H., from June 20 to 26.
 Members of the board approved the monthly bills. but declined to sign the sheets accompanying the bills, since the sheets said the com- nissioners ordered" the payments. The sheets were apparently sub mitted by mistake, being meant for the board of finance.
 A check for $25 was received from Dr. Isabelle Cowan in appreciation of work done by firemen in a fire at a garage in the rear of her home, 134 Highland avenue, earlier this month. The money was turned over to the pension fund.
 Edward T. Quill submitted an ap- plication for appointment to the call force.

Another time, wandering around an army camp, Gustaf came upon a group of soldiers playing cards. They leaped to their feet and stood at attention all but one. He re- mained hunched over, studying his cards glumly.
 The soldiers were sure their companion was in for a scathing lecture. But Gustaf just put a pa ternal hand on the soldiers shoul- der and said: My good lad, you will never make it with that rotten hand of clubs"
 Gustaf's kindly, generous nature has made him a most beloved mon- arch. When his people wanted to take up a collection to buy one gi- gantic present for his 10th birthday, Gustaf, deeply touched in turn touched the hearts of his people by announcing that he wanted the gift to take the form of a fund for the foundation of a great cancer hos pital. They responded by raising $1,- 100000.
 Despite his increasing age, Gus tai more and more has had an in- fluence on the policy of his coun- try. His hand can be seen in many of the domestic moves and most of the foreign moves Swe- den has made in recent years.

the king. My Socialist Premier is always saying the same thing"
 Once he was incognito at Swiss mountain hotel when the guests got to discussing republics and king doms. Gustaf remained silent until he was asked which form of gov- ernment he favored.
 For many reasons" Gustaf re- piled, q favor the monarchy and, perhaps, the chief and selfish req son is that under republic l would lose my job."
 "What is your job?"
 q am," said Gustaf, "in the king business myself"
 His early love for the army and navy hasn't diminished. One day in reading his mail he was astounded to see the following:
 Darling: Monday at 6 p. m. I expect you at Odine Place. I shall wait until o'clock. But then you must be sure to come. Your Ester"
 Examining the envelope, the King saw that the letter was in tended for a sailor, whose name was obliterated on the H. M. S.. Gustaf. The HI. M. S." was blot ted. So the King sent the letter at once to the ship with a mes sage to the captain to give Ester's sweetheart a holiday on Monday.

 Are you king?" the Ameri- can girl asked.

ROSES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Roses in garden Geometric and square, Row after row of them Scent up the air. Roses scrambled on wall, Roses growing wild, Roses when they open up Look as if they smiled. Roses hanging over the fence, White roses and yellow, Roses deep red and pink, Roses sweet and mellow. In the rain-drenched air The scent of lovely roses Is waited along on the breeze In most generous doses. Roses of Picardy, Rose of Tralee 50 fair, And lest you might forget There's the rose of Washington Square.
