Fire Department Still Busy
The Fire Department had it.s fourth cali within ten days, Saturday night, followed by the fifth one Sunday morning. The fire Saturday night was another car in Sloat's garage. This accident, which had never hap¬ pened before, happened the second time within a week. This time it was n small car owned by Douglas Kirby, one of the employees of the garage. He was getting gas from the tank in the garage when his tank overflowed and was ignited from his kerosene lamp. The car was pushed outside before the building caught fire, and the fire department answered quick- ^ly and put the blaze out with their tihemical   extingiiisher.
Sunday morning the blaze >jja8 in the brush back of the house of Aug¬ ust Preiss, Milton and Jay Streets. The flames traveled rapidly with a heavy wind blowing, and set the back end of the chicken house afire, but it was put out with chemical extinguish¬ ers and a small garden hose before the department arrived.

Roosevelt Sc'nOol closed at noon on Wednesday for the Thanksgiving va¬ cation. The faculty left for their re¬ spective homes in the aftemoon.
The school work for the month of October has been greatly handicapped by the constant finding of carriers in different grades of the school. After each carrier is found, the room is closed and fumigated which necessi¬ tates a constant changing of the regu¬ larly planned work. Drs. Rhame, Phipps and Bergen are still busy cul- turing all children as fast as the tubes arrive to do so.
