FIRE MARSHAL ASKS FOR RIGHT PRESSURE FOR FIGHTING FLAMES

INDIANAPOLIS. March 24. Interest in the office of State Tire Marshal

Newman T. Miller at the present time is "centered in the outcome of Its recent petition to the Indiana Public Service commission asking that body to compel various utilities to give the proper fire pressure for fighting fires. Action by the commission favorable to the fire marshal's office will result in a state-wide campaign to see that the water company in every city and town keeps its water pressure up to a standard which will keep the citizens fully protected all the time, Mr. Miller said. - The petition now before the public service commission pertains to the utility furnishing water to the city of Bloomfleld, it was said. The fire marshal's office acted, Mr. Miller said,, following a general complaint that the water pressure for fire fighting was

not strong enough. It is the first

time to his knowledge, Mr. Miller said, that the fire marshal's office ever had

made such an appeal to the public

service commission.

Favorable action by the commission will result in the fire marshal next turning his attention to Worth ington, it was said. A general investigation

probably would follow in an effort to bring precautionary measures for fire fighting up to a standard all over Indiana.

MADAGASCAI1 AYE-AYE SPECTER-LIKE ANIMAL

None of the curious animals that notnpa Vino e 1 nr la miA cnoftpr-

like than the Madagascan animal called the aye-aye. It is about three ,feet In length, with long, coarse fur of a dark brown or black color. The tail is long and bushy, and the ears are remarkable for their size. The hands and feet are unlike those of any other creature, for the fingers and toes, with the exception of the great toes, are exceedingly long and slender

and furnished with attenuated claws. ,. Those, combined with the peculiar staling eyes, give the creature." a gruesome appearance. These slender fingers play a curious part in the feeding habits of the aye-aye. By their aid the animal can dislodge from their hiding places the grubs and insects that form a part of its diet. When it gets an orange the aye-aye will first bite a circular hole in the fruit and then hold it against the side of its open mouth, while with the long fingers ot its disengaged hand it will scoop out the entire contents of the orange until only the skin is left. The aye-aye is related to the lemurs, although when it was discovered, its chisel-like teeth led the naturalists to believe that it was, a rodent. The natives of Madagascar greatly dread the aye-aye and have a super- . stitious fear that if they should touch ' one they willdie within a year When it is accidentally caught in a' trap set for some other creature the owner of the trap liberates the animal after he has smeared fat over its body as a peace offering,

Dressing a little girl these days la a delightful task, for the shops are showing: more than the usual variety of charming little dresses that combine ill happy fashion the desired elements of style and durability. This is the month to stock

up on washable frocks, because the selection is better now than it will be later on and, too, if one wishes to make the frocks at home the dressmaker is available now and she may not be as the June weddings and commencements ap

proach. , Here are three little - dresses which make a complete outfit for the little jrirl. There is the bloomer play dress, the afternoon frock of gingham and the dress-up frock of pink wash satin and lace.'

.Tomorrow night, Saturday evening, March 25, the new 1922 officers will be installed and President Charles B.

Beck Is expected to outline a vigorous i policy tor the coming year. The elec

tion last Saturday evening resulted in the selection of R. T. Bowman, vice-

president; M. L. Hasty, secretary-

treasurer; H. Shuman Jones, press;

O. F. McKee, railroads; W. A. DeWees,

hotels; Gath P. Freeman, legislative;

A. E. Holmes, employment; H. M. Kramer, good roads r L. E. Browne, memBership; John E. Ulriclt, waterways; L C. Wood, sick sind relief; C. O. Tooker, entertainment; T. H. Hill, reception; John P. Highley, E. W. Coate and Walter H. Bates, directors. Delegates selected for the national convention at Atlantic City, John P. Highley, Elmer E. Lebo and Walter H. Bates. Alternates, C. B. Beck, T. H. Hill and William Kramer. A rising, standing and swallowing vote of thanks was appreciatively tendered C. O. Tooker for the goose liver lunch that he served early and often during the evening. Death invaded the T. P. A. ranks during the month of February taking 53 members of which nine were mem

bers in Indiana. Missouri lost rix, Wisconsin, Virginia and Texas each five. National delegates have plenty of work cut out for them at Atlantic City if they work on the proposed amendments to the constitution only. There are 33 amendments already published to come before the convention. Much study of the present constitution will be in order for delegates to brush up

on present regulations. Why not set

a night apart for considering these amendments and obtaining the opinion of the post which would be a guide

to the delegates as to what action would meet the approval of the post. Ninety-nine delegates out of every hundred at this writing probably could not tell what the purport of any one of -the proposed amendments is or how it might affect his post. Regarding the proposed T. P. A. souvenir book, Brother Andrew Jackson of Marion Post says that this souvenir meets the approval of all ' but the

scribe of Post C. Put on your specs,! Brother Jackson, . and read your exchanges a little more closely and you will note that Pose C scribe is not the only one. Go further than that. Consult any buyer of advertising, and if you can get an expression of his real sentiments, he will classify all souvenirs for lodges, churches, police and firemen's programs, school entertainments, souvenir editions of local papers, etc., as non-productive and without adequate publicity value. Still more you will learn that euch mediums are considered more in the light of genteel hold-ups and are patronized'oh a basis of charity rather than business. It savors of gold brick work and unworthy of consideration by an organization that poses as a business man's

organization. If we are reduced to Rheumatism is no respecter of age.

meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which Is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating

through the system, -eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; pHt a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink

berore breakfast eacn morning jor a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia add is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.

Thoughts of A Lost Handbag "I con't ever remember attracting so much attention. This lady who picked me up downtown has been showing me to every member of her family. I've been the main topic of conversation around here since yesterday. "I can't get used to all these strange people, though. And they make such highly personal remarks about me. They're all excited because I have $10 in my inside pocket. Humph I often have a lot more than that with me. "And they've discussed the vanity eise and the samples for a spring suit that my owner left in me. They've decided that she must have good taste, anyway. I should say she had. Didn't she buy me? " "Something new in the air! They've found something about the in the Palladium. They know my owners' name and everything.
