ed the matter Of custody Of the
child might have q direct bearing
on the petitioners admittance into

concurrently with the 1912 audit is
reported to be almost completed.
1t Is understood the firm of au-
ditors have requested that bids on
the contract be let earlier in the
fiscal year so that such auditing
might get underway almost stimuli
taneously with the initiation of the
fiscal year. Reasons for the delay in
presenting the finished audit at this
late date for 1912 and 1913 is that
the contract is let out to bidders so
late in the operational year.

One evening l dined with Ar
thur Billings, head of the local
canadian financed) power and
light company. When it came
time for me to return to the no
tel, Mr.. Billings sent word to his
chauffeur to prepare for the
trip.
The chauffeur lighted
torch, with which he ignited the
charcoal. Then we waited about
10 minutes while carbon mon
oxide was being brewed. Driv-
ing downtown, on slight rise
on which the same car using
gasoline could have accelerated
to perhaps 70 miles an hour,
with the gasogenio the chauffeur
had to shift into second.
Mr.. Billings summarized what
seemed to be general sentiment
when he said:
I'm mighty glad TO have the
gasogenio now, but when the
war is over it won't take me long
to rip it off and 60 back to gaso-

Girl Dental Assistants
Eose Pains for Airmen

LINCOLN, Nebr.-U,P)- The
dental clinic at the Lincoln
Army Air Forces Training Com
mand here has the last word in
modern equipment, including
very attractive assistants "who
are here for the protection" of
officer-dentists.
Explained one dentist:
Before we had such pretty
assistants the soldiers would
squirm and moan so much we
had hard time getting through
with our work. Now, with at
tractive girl attendants, the SOL
diers are either too ashamed to
complain of pain, or are so en-
crossed in the girls that they
don't even feel the bite of a
drill"

neIieopiers for Fire
Fiqhiinq is Preditied

MEMPHIS, Tenn. UH - The
time: about 1850. The place: any
American metropolis. AS the
scene opens, flames and smoke
are whipping from the upper
floor of a giant. modernistic
skyscraper.
No bells ring madly. No sirens
scream wildly.
Instead, a vivid red helicopter
hovers outside the building -
almost motionless. The pilot is
done up in the conventional fire
helmet. BY means of a walkie-
talkie strapped to his throat, he
directs other airborne firemen
in fighting the blaze. From all
parts of the building he receives
constant messages from other
radio-equipped firemen. Perhaps
a big Observation-Disclosures helicopter
with a huge chemical tank will
hang over the building while
chemicals are poured on the
flames.
This is the picture of the fire
men of the future as visioned
in the National Fire Department
Instructors Conference here.
Another prediction for fire
department use was the jeep,
which has proven itself so ably
on the battlefront. 1t was point
ed out that fire-jeeps already
in use carry a 350-gallon pump
or on, the front and 900 feet
of l l2Aiach hose. Ideal for fight
ing forest fires, the jeep can
carry its own water or suction
it up from any creek or stream
and it defies all roads, or lack
of roads.

To Be Denoted

Algiers, April 10.-(UP)-General
Henri Giraud, who was removed as
commander-in- of the French
Liberator army by Gen. Charles De-
Gaulle and named inspector-general,
has refused to accept the demotion,
it was learned authoritatively to-
day.
Giraud sent a letter to DeGaulle
last night declining the new ap-
pointment. which he described as
honorary" and insisted that France
may need a commander-in-chief
before the end of the war, reliable
sources said.
De Gaulle quarters took no in
itiative to publish Giraud's letter ap-
parently hoping he will reconsider
his refusal and accept he inspec-
-generalship. 1t was pointed out
however, that if Giraud remains
adamant he will eb without func-
ton in the French army and could
be placed on the retired list as over
age.
Giraud already is two years past
the new French 63-year age limit
for senior officers and it was be-
neved he probably would not be Of
fered another post if he refuses
