On Duty All Day—First Aid, Police Duty, Errands, Watching For Fires, Etc.
That the Boy 'Scouts is a helpful organization, and that the boys live up to the teachings of their Scout law, was ably demonstrated Friday. From early morn until late at night the little brown uniforms could be seen everywhere, busily engaged, in doing something useful. The eatly morning was spent in running errands for the Red Men's committee, all of which was willingly done.
First Aid headquarters were established in Dr. J. L. Allen's office, and each boy was prepared with bandages, etc., to take care of any burnt fingers, hands, or anything of the kind. Stretchers were put in handy places, and boys detailed so that,in case of need no time would be lost.
When Myers leaped the gap the boys with lowered staves held the crowd back from danger. During the afternoon exercises the boys did police duty in keeping the parade ground free of people, and in holding back the crowd when the stand fell.
In the evening, after it was shown that there were some people present who cared nothing for endangering the lives of others by throwing lighted firecrackers toward the pile of fireworks on the firing stand, they were again called to duty to hold back the crowd.
Many complimentary remarks in reference to the Scouts were heard in regard to the manner in which they marched in the parade, everyone in line and in step. As one man said afterward, "We only wish there were a thousand boys like that in town.
NO ONE HURT WHEN BAND STAND COLLAPSED
What might have been a serious accident happened Friday. The band-stand in front of the jail broke down while holding between sixty and seventy people. While all were interested in the drill work of Newasa Tribe, No. 190, of Indianapolis, the platform gave way on the northwest corner, "scooting" the whole crowd towards that corner. Everybody was frightened and several scratched and bruised, but the fact that the stand was low, together with the fact that there was a covering on the floor, saved numerous injuries. If there had been no floor covering in all probability many would have gone between the boards and been badly hurt.

EAST 6REENFIEL0 WANTS DISANNEXED
City Council Asked To Sever Corporation Ties City Improvement Bone of Contention
The City Council will have the question of disannexir j:
East Green
field or "Garden City," from the city corporation soon. This action was started by citizens of that portion of the city who are not satisfied with the city advantages which they have. This question has been under consideration for some time. The East Greenfield people want improved streets, sidewalks and electric lights and city water. They point out that they are taxed for all such things, and also for sewers, but do not enjoy them. If they can not get them, they say they do not want to help pay for them.
On the other hand, the Councilmen of the city at different times have considered giving better street improvements in that part of the city, but found that contractors were not willing to bid on streets and sidewalks in that section of the city for the reason that many vacant lots on the streets were not worth as much as the improve-? ments would cost. So it has not been quite so much a case of what the Council would like to do, as it has been a case of what it could do.
The Council feels like it has done as much for that part of the city as it has for other extreme outside parts of the city. No city can or does give as much improvement to the outside parts as it does to the central parts. This is natural. The property on the outside parts of the city has not sufficient value to pay for such improvements, and such improvements would be more expensive in the extreme parts than in the central part of the city.
While many lots on the border of the city can be bought for $100 per lot, in the central part lots are worth from $50 to $200 per front foot. These differences are natural and the Council can not change them, no matter how much it might try.

GREATEST PROBLEM REFORE RAILROADS
Is to Find Ways to Protect Those Who Will Not Take Precaution To Protect Themselves.
"The greatest problem the railroad has to solve in its efforts to conserve human life is to find ways to protect those who won't protect themselves," says a report sent out from the office of the superintendent of tfhe Pennsylvania Lines. To offset the chances which passengers, trespassers and employes take with death, the railroad is throwing as many barriers as possible in the way of persons who risk their own lives as well as endangering those of others. Among the employes disciplinary "tests" of obedience to rules are conducted at regular intervals, and at unexpected times and conditions. The report says that out of 61,448 men employed in train service on the Pennsylvania railroad, 119 were killed in 1912. Of this number only 17 were killed in accidents to trains, passengers and freight. The records show, the report says, that only a small proportion of accidents to employes occur on passenger trains. There were some 68,000 men employed in shops and on the tracks in 1912 of this number 166 were killed as a result of accidents none of which was on a train. The deaths, the report says, were due to carelessness, trespassing and in some instances to defects of shop machinery and other avoidable causes.

It happened at the Grand Central terminal on the hottest day of the heated term at about 5 p. m., when the outbound suburban rush was at its height. A heavy man, car rying a heavy bag, rushed up to the telephone office. "Give me umpty—ump—blank Rector in a hurry. I've got to catch a train— which booth?" After a minute: "Haven't you got that number yet?' and a moment later with more emphasis: "What about that number," "Am I sure I asked for the right number?" "Think I should knowit's my own house." "Mostly offices at Rector." "What number did I ask for?" The girl told him, and then came some unparliamentary ianguagfe—"Why that's my office— not my house—I wanted River— and he was soon adding to his discomfort in a closed booth from which people outside could hear uncomplimentary things about the "stupid telephone girls" and missed trains.
