HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN

CIVIC CLUBS BOOM

THRIFT STAMPS Federation Plans to Enter Every Home in City in War Saving Campaign. Representatives of eight of the 16 school centers were present at the meeting ogf the members of the civic center committee in the war

savings campaign which was held in the Jefferson school building on Wednesday night. J. F. Nuner, city chairman of the campaign, gave an extensive outline of the object of the campaign and explained in detail the various methods that might be employed by the workers in their respective communities in the matter of swelling the amount

of Thrift stamps. At present time, the exact manner in which the various workers will go about their soliciting the purchasers of Thrift stamps is rather undecidied. This is largely due to the fact that it has not been possible to map out a particularly definite line of action which could be used universally. There has been much publicity on the matter of Thrift stamps throughout the city and yet all of the field has not yet been covered. One man present at the meeting stated that in his particular community the only real source of information concerning the Thrift stamp proposition was the things that the school children brought home from the school room, while other communities have had the proposition explained to them very thoroughly and completely. This is a difficulty that will be overcome very shortly for the committee on information in the matter has been making every endeavor to reach all people in all communities and give whatever information they might desire. Plan to Reach Homes. The object of the civic center cooperation is to work out some plan whereby the homes can be reached in order that ever memher of a household, whether an infant or the head of the household, be the owner of at least one 25-cent Thrift stamp. The amount of money that is to be raised through the sale of Thrift stamps in the country will amount to $20 per capita, and this

being impossible in the case of all children, larger amounts will have

to be purchased by individuals who are able to buy larger quantities. Every house that has at least one stamp for every member of that household will be given a thrift service flag on which will be marked the credit for being a 100 per cent efficient family. This is to be the case in places of business also, if every employe purchases at bast one stamp. In the case of a community, it will be rather more difficult, for the community centers, or civic clubs, are supposed to be made up of every individual in the community, over the age of 18 years, whether they happen to be of a family that is a patron of the community school or not; so, in this case it will be a little more complex to figure out just when a community is 100 per cent efficient in the matter of Thrift stamps. To Give Special Talks. There will be several special talks given by representative of the local Thrift stamps committee at various community gatherings this week:one to be in River Park and another in some gathering in the fourth ward. There will also be a talk given at the patriotic. meeting that is to be held in the high school auditorium on the night of Feb 22. At this time Cong. John K. Miller. who spoke here a short time ago under the auspices of the Rotary club, will give a talk and a patriotic community "sing" will be held. W. E. Joseph, 315 W.

Lippman against the St. Joseph lodge. No. 51, colored Knights of Pythias, for possession of the building at 208-210 N. Main st.. occupied by that organization, has been taken by the plaintiff to the circuit court. The case was recently heard in the court of Justice Peak, who decided in favor of the defen-dant. The lodge leased their present quarters for five years, begining Aug. 1, 1911, with the priviledge of renewing the lease for an additional five years at the expiration of the first period. During the life of the first lease the property was purchased by Mr. Lippman. who demanded possession of the part of the property occupied by the lodge last Oct-ober, refusing to accept the money tendered him by the lodge officials on the grounds that the lodge had violated its rental agreement by not paying the rent a month in advance the first of each month. It was brought out at the first trial of the case that the lodge had been accustomed to vote the appropriation of the rent money at the nearest meeting night to the first of each month and then would make the payment the following Monday or Tuesday.

FLOOD DANGER

HERE IS SLIGHT

River Falling, While Only Pos-

sible Damage May Come From Ice Floes. Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening the St. Joseph river began falling here and by 8 o'clock had gone down nearly a foot, relieving the rear of an overflow that would do any damage to factory property on the east side for the time being, al-though unless there is a decided fall by a late hour this morning there is still danger... large amount of ice above Twin Branch dam had not broken up be- fore midnight last night. What amount of ice is backed up beyond that point is not known by workmen at the dam. Unless a decidedhere along the river front. Fifteen men from the Oliver plant were kept on duty all of last night at the flood gates watching for any impendinh danger from congestion of ice or an overflow. Very little ice was passing down the river during the early hours of last evening. At 8 o'clock the river was about four feet above normal height. The water was at the base of the wall along Howard park, so it can be seen that an unusual raise would have to occur in order for the water to overflow into the park. Leeper Park Flooded. The island at Leeper park was completely under water yesterday afternoon, large ice blocks floating among the trees and benches. But one pump was in operation

at the central pumping station because of the high water lowered the

pressure on the wheels and there was not enough power to operate both pumps. No trouble had been experienced at the north pumping station, but the old pumps, which are situated about 20 feet higher than the new ones, were being overhauled yesterday in case they would be needed on account of the other ones being put out of commission. North Station Safe. "I don't think the flood will stop us from operating here, though." declared the engineer at the north station Wednesday. It will have to go up about seven feet yet before it reaches the doors, and we can put sand bags around them. The walls are tight, they'll hold the water out." It is estimated that a rise of less thai two and one-half feet will be sufficient to put most of the west portion of Leeper park under water. Last Flood in 1908. Memories of the flood in the spring of 1908 are brought up by the present high water. At that time the water was high enough to throw both pumping stations out of use, and the city pressure was maintained by the private pumps of the Studebaker and Oliver factories. The flood in 1908 began on March 7, Saturday, about four weeks after a blizzard and heavy snow fall had swept northern Indiana and southern Michigan. The water rose so that it stood 14 inches deep across Michigan st., near the bridge. and was 21 inches deep on W. Foote st. Part of the Colfax av. bridge was washed away by the flood, and long walls of sand bags were constructed to save factories along the river from danger. The flood of 1908 marked the highest water mark reached by the river since 1886. WYZPISZYNSKI'S COURT. The Morris plan c-ompany s. Peter O. Rightley, George P. Rightley and W. C. Klingerman, note.

SEVERAL HOMES

ARE WATERBOUND

Merry Av. Residents Use Hip Boots in Getting to Their Homes Some of the homes in the vicinity of Merry av. and the New York Central tracks are practicably surrounded by water, and it is only by the use of hip-boots that the dwellers are able to go to and from their homes. More than an acre of ground which is naturally depressed, has become flooded with water from melted snow and ice which completely surrounds at least a dozen houses. According to city officials, there is no way in which these water-bound residents can be given relief. The submerged land is so situated, they say, that it is practically impossible to drain the land, and the only thing that can be done is to wait until all the water, which in many places is three and four feet deep, dries up. An inspection of the submerged land with the view of affording relief to the water surrounded residents was made Wednesday morning by Mayor Carson and Street Commissioner Layton, but it was found that in order to drain off the water a ditch three blocks long in one direction and another nearly as long would have to be dug in another direction and it is feared that even this would not afford relief for it would be several weeks before the ditches could be completed. HARDY RESCINDS COAL ORDERS AS SITUATION SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Further improvement in the coal situation in South Bend was marked Wednesday by the cancellation of the local order which prohibited sales of more than one-half ton of fuel to a consumer. Dealers are now permitted to deliver a full ton to a single purchaser. The order forbidding sale of coal to saloons has also been withdrawn, and night school may resume. Ten cars of soft coal and two cars of hard coal came into South Bend Wednesday morning. Reports were current that an embargo on coaI consigned to Indiana dealers had been declared somewhere in Illinois, owing to rail congestion, but. confirmation was lacking. The demand for coal has fallen off considerably, although the fuel administration office is still busy answering telephone calls from persons who want to know where coal is to be had. TWO FINED IN CITY COURT Mike Kazmier and John Cardez, two farmers from Terre Coupee. who came to South Bend last Friday, and ran into Officers Lee and Kish while the two out-of-town men were in an alleged intoxicated condition, were fined in city court Wed- nesday morning on a charge of intoxication. The two defendants attempted to BEST WAY TO WASH THE HAIR. We find you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with Canthrox. It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, whole-some feeling. after its use you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of Canthrox, hich you can get from any good druggists, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair, instead of just the top of the head.
