Two Automobiles Damaged
By Fire in Separate Instanc,

Automobile blazes were the cause
of two fire alarms on Sunday which
were answered by the local depart
ment.
The first alarm came from Ralph
Pritts' garage on Liberty street about
2 o'clock Sunday morning, where an
automobile in storage on the second
floor became ignited in some unknown
manner The fire was discovered by
George Yutzy.
The seat of the coupe was burned
and the ceiling of the garage scorched
before the blaze was extinguished. 1t
was an old model and had been in
storage for some time.

child who finds it hard to concentrate.
Does your child have a bedtime that is
early enough to insure an adequate
amount Of sleep?
Teachers complain that many of
the children find it necessary to eat
part Of their lunch in the middle of
the morning. A hungry child does not
make a good student Does your child
have an adequate breakfast before he
leaves for school?
A hot food in the middle of the day
prevents fatigue and stimulates the
appetite If there are no provisions
for hot food at school, the teacher will
be glad to place a jar of food brought
from home in pan of water to be
heated and served at lunch time. Does
your child have an adequate lunch, one
which includes a hot dish?
A well nourished body must have
certain necessary foods every day,
such as milk, fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, meat and eggs, and cod liver
oil. Does your child have an evening
meal which supplements the other
meals of the day and provides the bal
ance of the food needed during the
day?
1T is very difficult to develop good
nutrition in a growing child when
there are physical conditions in need
of attention, such as enlarged ton
sis, decayed teeth, defects of vision
or hearing. Such handicaps are likely
to affect a child's health very seriously
if they are not attended to promptly"

persons on Tuesday evening at
eight fifteen. After this last ap-
pearance in the west they left for
Pittsburgh and other eastern

The singers, sponsored by the
Women's Auxiliary of the Mime
apolis Urban League, gave varied
program of spirituals and classics
in group selections and in solo
form. Included on the program
were the favorite spirituals-"Steal
Away" "My Soul Would Not Be
Contented," "Hear de Lambs a-Cry-
ing" and "Swing Low" Very
prayerfully sung was Malotte's
Lords Prayer" and for an encore
after Hills" by LaForge the group
sang the we'll known tongue-twister
"Peter Piper Picked Peck of
Picked Peppers" truly proving
their worth as singers in enunciat-
ing every "p" and nary a tongue
got twisted.
Matthew Kennedy, pianist
played a group of three selections
of Chopin, Dett and DeFalla in ex'
cellent style and with such feeling
that he received one of the biggest

I WONDER
By Clara Robinson


AS I sit here alone, I wonder,
About the world of long ago;
Was it like the world today,
The war-torn world we know?
Was there ever a Garden of Eden,
Where joy for awhile did reign?
Where peace was the only law,
And there was no agony or pain!
Then again, wonder,
Can this world be happy and Sc
rene?
When will the great day come,
When peace is the reigning queen :?
Will there ever be a true Utopia,
Where all mankind will find
That they can all be supremely
happy
If they leave greed and gain be-
hind?
Hopeful yet, I offer a prayer,
That people will abide by Gods
will,
And obey that commandment,
That says, "Thou shalt not kill"
Say 1t With Flowers!
Say it tactfully! Say it grace
fully! Say it with our flowers to
convey your message Of remem-
brance, affection, gratefulness and
best regards. We keep fresh cut
flowers and plants on hand at all
times and will send them to any
address with your card.
