His name has always been on the official roster of the Decatur Volunteer Fire i department. Mr. Jackson served under the ; first fire chief, James Hurst, who was appointed in 1885. Other Decatur men who belonged to the organization ulxiut that time and an- living include, Charles Lang, 1.. Helm. John Yager. Adolph Hart and a few others.

NEW FIRE CODE I RULES ISSUED Fire Marshal Takes Steps In Gasoline Price War Indiana polls, Muy 21.—4U.R) Indiana's gasoline war resulted today In an amendment to rules and reg ulations of the state tire marshal's office. Dealers who have established aelf-srrve stations to cut down expenses of operations and enable them to sell gasoline at cut-rate nrices were scored by Alfred M. Hogston, file marshal. A regulation intended to stop this practlc was issued us follows: "No gasoline shall be run into a container at public service stations ■>r other place where the gasoline is dispensed, except by the owner or regular employe of the place; and no hose, pipe, or other contrivance for pumping or measuring tlie liquid shall be used or handled by any person except the >wner or regular employe.” Thi regulation also states that gasoline shall not be transferred to a vehicle while the motor is ruling; the lights are burning, or while any person in the vehicle is nioking, or a match or lighter is being used within 50 feet of the tank being tilled. The order becomes effective JunI, Hogston said. o a GOLD STAR MOTHERS VISIT SONS’ GRAVES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Thiancourt which are back of the cemeteries, last night by autobus from Paris. They were escorted to the hostess houses arranged for 'them and this morning walked to the graves, carrying flowers. The group at Verdun included more than 100 mothers whose sons died in the Argonne or Meuse. They walked from the town over tlie shell-torn hills to the great Ilomagne cemetery, many of them carrying prayer books. When the guides first pointed out the graves, many of the mothers fell on their knees and sobbed Others knelt quietly and placed Powers by the white cross or stood silent before the grave. Only a few broke down or sobbed violently but some kissed the itoss above their son’s grave and remained in prayerful attitude de spite the light rain that started falling. The guides and escorts endeavored to prevent them from getting wet and urged them back to the hostess houses.

They will have four days to spend near the cemetery. Most of them were impressed by the adornment and careful attention given the graves and expressed content that their sons should lie in France. The more touching scenes were enacted at Rel’anwood cemetery near Chateau Thierry, where Mrs. Lydia Lindsay of Cincinnati, was the first to find the grave of her son. She fell on her knees before the cross and cried: “My little boy!” Taking a tiny bouquet of Ohio flowers from her purse she put it on the grave. Mrs. Mary Pennington of Cincinnati, fainted on her son’s grave and was carried to the hostess house. The officers escorting the party comforted her. o MUSIC CONTEST DRAWS CROWD '■<>NTINGED FROM PAGE ONE' (IB: -Girts' Solo, “White Butterflies,” Cole, Alice Kathryn Baker, first; Catherine Murphy, second.
