Easy Roberts finally got rid of
the noisy pigeons that used to
whoop it up under his caves.
He must have tried a dozen
ways to scare them off. But no
matter what he did, they would be
right back cooling by his window
the next morning.
Then Easy thought of an old
stuffed owl he had in his attic. He
propped it on the roof SOS all
the pigeons could see it. They left
and three boot owls have taken
their place. Easy swears the boot
ing is even worse than the cooling
of the pigeons.

The Ohio Fuel Gas Company
said today that a $S6.0O0 project
to step-up the company's ability to
deliver natural gas to London Will
start Saturday. June %.
A major feature of the improve

dividual gas pressure regulators in
1,727 homes and business buildings
at no cost to the customers.
F. E. Kidwell, London gas COM
pany manager, said the regulators
will be needed in connection with
a change in gas pressures neces-
STATED by the communitys contin-

The changeover from what the
company terms a low" to an "in-

Current Water
Demand Highest
OF Entire Year

The increased use Of water dur
ing the current heat wave has
caused water consumption in the
city to reach the highest level in
more tran year. according TO
Eitel Friedrich, Water SupUin-
tendent.
This large demand, together
with the declining output of the
municipal wells, is straining the
facilities at the water plant, and
has made It necessary at times to
mix raw water with the softened
water In order to maintain pres
sure.
To compensate In part for the
current difficulty in supplying
water as soft as desired, the Board
of Public Utilities has authorized
the application OF soda ash in adj
dition to the lime which has been
used since the softening treatment
was started last fall. This supple
r1entary use of soda ash will make
it possible to provide water which
will be softer than can be pro-
duced by the lime treatment alone
On Saturday, June %, bids Will
be opened on two improvement
projects for the water works plant.
One of these projects is a new well
which should relieve the present
water shortage at the plant. The
other project includes a standby
high service pump which, together
with the new well, should elimi-
nate the current operating diff
culties. and improve the quality.
uniformity, and reliability of the
water supply. Friedrich explained

Yanls Leading
Little League,
Beat Cubs 1873

The Yanks are champions for
the first half of the Little League
season by virtue of their win over
the Cubs on Wednesday evening
by a score of 1873. The undisputed
first half champs were defeated,
however, on Monday evening by
the Phils with a score of 81.
Monday nights game was
championship caliber all the way
and neither Manager Morrison OF
the Yanks nor Sanders of the
Phils pulled any punches in their
desire to win this crucial game
Starter Tumblison of the Yanks
was relieved at the end of the
first inning with a sore arm in
favor of Arrick, who pitched a
magnificent game in relief. But
Arrick tired in the final inning and
the Phils pushed over five runs to
ice the game.
Another defensive game was
turned in by Larry Thibaut, who
is rapidly turning into a "Phii
Rezzuto", when he back pedaIec
furiously and then speared a line
drive off his shoe tops.
Winning pitcher in this game
was Steve Garrard who also had
to relieve starter Paul McClaskie.
Garrard has now won his last
three games and is rapidly devel-
oping into sharp south paw.
On Tuesday night the Cubs de-
feated the Reds 1910. This was a
nip and tuck affair until the final
inning when the hard hitting Cub
team got to the Red hurler for
five runs to decide the ball game.
Dick Payne was the winning pitch
er in this contest.
In Wednesday nights first half

Drama On The Highuay-Euen
Arrests Can Be Amusing?

: Life can be amusing even to a
highway patrolman.
A double arrest has appealed to
the sense of humor of Patrolman
r. E. Brandon, Mound Street, he
reported Thursday.
The patroiman was cruising
west on u. S. Route 40 Wednesday
evening ito see what he could see"
A Chevrolet doing 20 to rs going
in the opposite direction caught
his attention in the vicinity of
Lafayette.
Turning about he gave chase. He
stepped his speedometer up to 95
and discovered in the rear view
mirror, black Oldsmobile on his
tail, keeping behind him about two
to three hundred yards. with no
disposition to pass him.
II just kept going until I finally
caught up with the Chevrolet and
stopped it at the edge of New
Rome, at the same time tagging
down the pursuing Olds when he
came alongside as I halted" the
patrolman said.
Where do you think you're 60
ing?" Brandon asked.
That's why I've been trailing
you. to see where you were going
in such hurry" was the reply.
He found out soon enough" the
patrolman stated. You're going
with me in court on a speeding
charge" was Brandon's answer.
For his interest in the patrol
mans activities, Leon S. Mcdaniel,
80. of 1873 Skyway Lodge, Fair
born, driver of the Olds, paid a
fine of SIS and costs, in the court
of Justice c. E. Wyker, New
Rome.
Richard v. PacnarJ, Is, attcr-
ney. 3433 Clifton Avenue, Cincin-
natl, driver of the Chevrolet,
whose flight" east brought the
whole story about, was also as
sessed SIS and costs on the same
charge in Justice Wyker's court.
And thereby hangs another tale,
the patrolman stated. In the car
with Packard was another Cincin-
natl attorney whose name was not
learned and when the arrest was
made, this passenger and Packard
began bantering each other about
who would try whose case. After
a few minutes parley they decided
to call the whole thing off and
Packard paid the fine.
