It was made clear that no school

“civil Arvice” courses.
No school can “guarantee” govern

information regarding examinations,

not available to the general public.
The commission stuled that it does
not recommend ary school, and ex

any one to take a course with a so

FIREMEN FINDS FLOOD
HERO ROLE COSTS HIGH
PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 2 (TP).
Fireman Martin Westman learned
yesterday that being a hero can be
an expensive business.
During the recent flood Westman
spent his time rescuing distressed
homeowners. He won credit for sav
ing several lives. When his month’s
pay check arrived, he discovered that
it was drawn for $25.40 less than he
expected. Westman was told that
the city had docked him four days
for the time he spent rescuing flood
victims.
He protested that he thought fire
men were assigned to flood work
where needed. For that reason, ne
says, he didn’t bother to report to
firehouse No. 53.
DETECTIVES STUDY
BIRTH REGISTRATION
FOR BURGLAR CLUE
BUTTE, Mont., May 2 (TP).—
The two-gun detectives on Butte's
police force are solemnly studying
the birth registrations today.
The sleuths hope that the birth
registrations will furnish a clew to the
identity of a certain burglar.
The burglar in question stole a
baby carriage with a set of blankets
and a complete _Layefette. Since the
articles are not easily saleable the
police believe the thief stole the out
fit either for his own use or for
some needy friend.

dition to Minnesota.
Most of the relatives of gangster

WARNING IN VERSE
Inspired by the muse. Bert Rotu

verses entitled “Be Wise. Be Safe”

ed. Keller F. Melton, national field
safety representative, and said in
part:
"I want to take this opportunity
to compliment you on this timely ad
monition, especially the clever way
in which it was written.”
Here are the verses:
He feared that he might be called
timid.
So he threw all precautions down flat
And cleaned his machine while ’twas
running:
He could use but one hand after that.
He feared that the wearing cf gog
gles
While grinding would make him look
queer;
The emery dust flew and as a result
He won’t look at all for a year.
He feared that some one might guy
him
If he had a cut dressed by a nurse
After six weeks of blood poisoning
He went for a ride—in a hearse.
