Washington was preparing
to entertain some visiting
firemen 100 years ago. On
February 81, 1859, The Star
said: THE Franklin Fire
Co. Of Washington, D. c.,

dent, William j. Gary Esq,
extended to the American Fire
Engine Co. of Philadelphia
an invitation to visit this
city early in the coming
spring. Great preparations
are being made to render
the visit unusually interest

100 Years Ago

A free for = all between
members of a private fire.
fighting company and police
took place in downtown
Washington 100 years ago.
On February %, 1859, The
Star reported: Last night
about 9 O'Clock a false
alarm brought out the Union
Fire Company, who ran their
engine down the avenue to
the corner of Twelfth street,
when a man named Kelley
let go his hold upon the rope,
and pulling a large black
bottle from his pocket threw
it with great force at Watch
man Donnelly, who had I'M
dertaken to stop the appa-
ratus, telling them it was a
false alarm. :" When the
policeman tried to arrest
Kelley, a melee developed,
more police were called, shots
were fired, and nine flremen
arrested.

Naturally, the opponents Of
the prayer do not admit that
this is their purpose. They
base their opposition on the
traditional American concept
of the separation of church and
state. And knowing our present
Supreme Court for what il is,
it is not inconceivahle that the
learned justices could stretch
their adjudication to embrace
this specious reasoning. 1t is

|. Ohio's election laws permit
civilians outside the continental
United States to apply for absent
voters ballot sixty days before
an election rather than thirty
days. Under this such electors
who reside in territory where
there will be a primary this year
may make their application for
their ballots anytime between
March 6 and 400 p m. of April
80.
These civilians write to the
clerk of the board of elections in
their home county requesting ap-
plication forms. The clerk will
then mail the application which
should be completed by the voter
and returned to the board of
elections. If the application is in
order the Clerk sends the ballots
to the elector who marks them,
subscribes to an oath on the iden-
tification envelope, and mails
the ballots back to the board. In
order to be counted, such ballots
must be received at the board by
1900 noon of May l.
Members of the armed forces,
on active duty, may make their
application anytime e between
January and II noon of May
2. They may obtain an applica-
ton from their county board Of
elections; they may use the
Standard Form rs distributed by
the armed services; near rel
atives may make application for
them at the board of elections;
or the serviceman may simply
write to. the clerk of his board
of elections requesting ballots,
stating the election for which
he desires them, his party
affiliation in the case of a prim-
ary, that he is serving in the
armed forces of the United
States, and that he has resi-
dence in the state and sufficient
information to enable the clerk
to determine the precinct In
which it is located.
If the application is presented
in person the serviceman will be
supplied with a ballot and may
mark it and return it at that
time. If the application is made
by mail or by near relative the
clerk sends the ballots to the
elector who marks them, sub
scribes to the oath on the iden-
tification envelope, and mails
them back to the board. In order
to be counted, these serviceman's
ballots must be received at the
board by 1900 noon, May S, cleo

United States opens with a
prayer. There are four specific
references in the Declaration

prese adopted that phrase as
the national motto Of the Unit

well as those of manv other

AS I said. this PRAYER is non-

not compulsory in the New

behind this drive to expunge
the idea of God and respect for
a Supreme Being from the
schools of the United States?
Well. who are the most
dedicated and imolacahle en-
emies of God and religion in
our modern world? The COM

here is the strange part of the

One Of the main recent activi-

Not at all. It was Mortified be-

The drainboard that carries rinse water

a watershed.
On the land, water that does not evapo-

bitches, streams marshes or lakes The land
area from which the water drains to given
point is "watershed".
When you were small child you prob
ably had favorite mud puddle in which you
liked to play. The part of the yard from
which the water drained into the puddle
was its watershed.
Possibly small stream ran by your
house 1t may have been dry most of the year
or it may have flowed continuously. Water
from few acres drained into that little
stream. Those few acres were the watershed.
This small stream and others like it ran into
larger one. The small streams and the land
they drained were the watershed of the larg-
er stream into which they flowed.
Small and medium-sized watersheds
make up the larger ones. The Mississippi
River, for example, drains watershed Of
