For an Auto Ambulance-Patrol Two branches of the city government are asking for special automobiles. The police department wants an auto ambulance-patrol and the fire department desires an auto ladder truck. The Palladium agrees that both are necessary. The finances of the city are in such bad shape, however, that it is doubtful whether even one of the proposed improvements can be purchased at this time. Of the two, the Palladium believes the auto ambulance-patrol is the more necessary. The efficiency of the fire department has been immeasurably increased by the auto chemical truck that was purchased a year ago. The addition now of an auto ladder truck will not materially increase the present efficiency. An auto ambulance-patrol, however, will place the police department on a more modern and efficient footing than it is at present. This proposed vehicle will take the place of the two horse-drawn the patrol and the ambulance that are now in use. And it will probably be equal to twice as many on account of its far greater speed. The idea of combining in one the patrol and ambulance is excellent. Richmond has far more use for an ambulance than for a patrol. Consequently an automobile that can combine the two functions is an economy. The justification for the city's purchasing an auto ambulance lies in the greater speed. This gives both a wider range of effective action and far quicker time in life and death calls. Inasmuch as the ambulance is for saving life and the ladder truck for saving property, and the city can not afford to purchase both at one time, the Palladium favors buying the auto patrol-ambulance first. Property is of secondary importance compared to life. Property can never create life. Ailong as there is life, however, the creation oi property will never stop.

Underpaying Public Servants During the course of a lecture for which he was paid at the Henderson ville, North Carolina chautauqua, Secretary of State William J. Bryar declared that his salary of $12,000 a year as r cabinet officer was not sufficient to meet the ex pense the office entails and, therefore, he wai forced to earn what additional sums he could b? delivering paid lectures. The secretary of state uttered an obviou? truth. Next to the president his is the most im portant office in our government. Our relation with all the governments of the earth are en trusted to the care of the secretary of state. Hi.handling of grave international questions may mean the continuance of peace or plunging tht country into bloody war. A host of counties? representatives of all the nations is at Washington. The secretary of state must maintain social relations with all of these. He is entertained by them, and in turn must reciprocate by entertaining them. Anyone acquainted with the expense of living at Washington on the plane that must dignify the officer who is practically second to the president in the United States, will realize the inadequacy of $12,000 a year for maintaining the position of secretary of state. Mr. Bryan in his statement impresses one with a feeling that the country is served by a sincere secretary of state. He openly declares that his salary is inadequate and then he does the typical American thing goes to work at that in which he excels to earn additional money so that the office he fills may be maintained in proper dignity. Only, Mr. Bryan's plight is an indictment of the slipshod methods of the American people ir remunerating their public servants. He is being forced to work "overtime" to earn the money you owe, but do not pay him for the work he already is doing as secretary of state. History in tlMaking History in the making is interesting to watch. And just now the history making Balkan nations hold the center of the stage. Less than ten days ago the Palladium called your attention to the latest Balkan war and the underlying causes. The Greek king, Constantine, and the Bulgarian czar, Ferdinand, both ambitious for imperial honors and backed by nations respectively desirous of being the Prussia of a Balkan peninsula empire. Czar Ferdinand thought he held the trump card. If he could crush Servia before a Greekarmy could come to her rescue, he felt certain of then being able to vanquish Greece. Attempting to hold the Greek army in check around Salonika with a comparatively small Bulgarian force, he hurled his main army against the Servians in the north. First successes in the north for Bulgarian arms were very shortly turned into disastrous

defeats. In the south so quickly did the Greeks commence their campaign and so successfully did they conduct it under King Constantine, that the southern Bulgarian army has been on the run since practically the first shot was fired. Roumania, scenting aggrandizement out of her neighbor's sorry plight, has entered the lists and invaded Bulgaria itself from the north. Czar Ferdinand through Russia is suing for peace. His dream of empire is shattered and on its wreck is rising the foundation for an empire of the Greeks.

ICE WATER DOES NOT I INJURE THE DIGESTION i

From the New York Independent. A change has come over the attitude of health experts with regard to the ways and means of preserving health n hot weather in recent years. Almost any one of middle age will rt member very well when it was the custom to de:ry the use of ice water as particularly deleterious and most of the preceding generation were quite sure that this habit of drinking ice water in large quantities which bad developed among Americans in the latter part of the Nineteenth Century would surely bring about serious disturbances of digestion and perhaps lead to such degeneration of digestive powers as would leave men in their later middle ages the victims of incurable dyspepsia, or at least seriously impaired digestion. These prophecies of evil have not been fulfilled. The craving for cold drinks in hot weather has proved not only to be entirely natural, but also quite wholesome. Physicians have come around, and at the beginning of the hot weather the New York City Department of Health through the commissioner announced that cold drinks and especially iced drinks were not harmful in themselves but, on the contrary, wholesome, and that anything that cools the system during hot temperatures is likely to do good rather than harm. It is another case of instinct and the taste for things proving to be correct in spite of prejudice and the declaration of those who thought they knew better from reasoning to the contrary. Even the use of ice cream at the end of a meal is now recognized to be a help rather than a hindrance to digestion. It cools off the stomach for a moment, but the reaction that follows immediately actually brings more blood to that organ than a nervous tone to the mucous membrane and its glands that causes them to digest better. During very hot weather there is a relaxation of the circulation affecting the stomach as well as the exterior of the body and just the same healthy reaction caused by cold water on the outside takes place on the mucous membranes on the inside when they are bathed with cold water. In very delicate individuals the reaction may not take pace, but the effect Is usually beneficial in all those who care for cold things.

f NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP I ,

The fire upon the hearth is low, And there is stillness everywhere;' Like troubled spirits here and there The firelight shadows round me creep. A childish treble breaks the gloom, And softly from a farther room Comes: Now I lay me down to sleep." And, somehow, with that little prayer, And that sweet treble in my ears My thoughts go back to distant years, And linger with a dear one there; And as I hear the child's "amen," Crouched at her side I seem to be, My mother's faith comes hack to me, A mother holds my hands again. Oh, for an hour in that dear place! Oh, for the peace of that dear time! Oh, for that childish trust sublime! Oh, for a glimpse of mother's face! Yet, as the shadows round me creep, I do not seem to be alone Sweet magic of that treble tone And "Now I lay me down to sleep." Eugene Field.

Our venerable uncle had a funny streak Sunday and nearly shocked Mrs. Stiff by wiping his nose on a napkin which he slipped from his pocket tor that purpose.

Given an Ovation. Sam B. Wilson, who has been filling an engagement here with the Francis Sayles company, 'was given an ovation Saturday evening when he

TO ATTEND MEETING

Prominent men in horticultural corcles will be present at the convention of the Indiana Horticultural society in session next month at Centerville. The convention will be attended by many of the most prominent and progressive farmers in the state. The plans were made for the convention at the meeting of the Wayne County society this afternoon.

The Westcott Motor C company of this city will file a suit in the federal court of Cincinnati against th IMco Klt-ctric company of Dayton. as a rvult of th failure on the part of the defendant to fulfill a contract made between the two companies Involved in the suit, t let worn $15,000

land $25.vOO will be demanded bv the

Kuhsnond company, it is understood. The contract between te two parties was made last year, when the specifications of the 1913 Westcott car were being drawn. The Delco Electric company manufactures a selfstarter. lishtinK and ignition system, which the officials of the company agreed to furnish the Westcott company. The company was then supplying the commodity for the Cadillao Motor Car company, which company used the system to such good adtantaso the previous year that several other companies made application for a similar system to be furnished by the company. The Hudson Motor Car company. Cole Motor Car company and others made contracts with th JXayton firm almost simultaneously w ith the Westcott company. After the contract had been signed by officials of the Westcott Motor Car company and Hie Delco firm, a Westcott car was sent to Dayton to be

equipped with the machine. The sys

tem was installed, and the local firm supposed It could be furnished with the equipment. Patterns and models were designed for the Installation of the system in the Westcott machines. The company soon had contracted for more self-starters than It could manufacture, and informed the local firm that it would not be able to furnish it with the material which it bad contracted for. An attempt to compromise the case Is now being made, though it has not been successful as yet. The sutt will be filed In the federal court, as the defendant and tha plaintiff are in different states.
