Considering tho determined flKht the fit e

Chemicals which mocked the nppenrarro of
the fearful "flammenwerfer" of the tier

firemen were not hurt. Only one was seri

hurt, but were soon back at their posts

routed the entire neighborhood. Pcoplo
swarmed out of the Utile houses In famous
old Appletree street and night watchmen
scouted their respective buildings hurriedly.
Then tho glare of the flames showed. It Is
thought the explosions started from sponta
neous combustion In the alcohol room, but
some witnesses suspected a plot.
The gutters ran with valuable coloring
for red paint and other paint. Here and
there were slight mixtures of many colors',
howlng the loss of other aluable dyes.
Thousands of valuable tin cans were lost.

BEE FOR RECRUITS
War Is War, But Osculation
Adds to Terrors and
Romance
ROSY BUSSES THAT TOOK
Gee whiz! War Is war and I'm willing
to tight, but "
It was Hecrult No. J coming up for air
after the fourth decoration. The First Uegl
ment Armory kissing beo was on In full
swing, nnd It didn't help to calm the feelings
of Ilecrult No. 3 to know that some 3000
men had stopped In front if the City Hall
Plazn to stop, look and listen to the oscula
tions. Steady now. boys, about the llstoning
part, but honest to goodness, you could.
Hecrult No. 3 had been kissed four times.
He showed It. from the tip ' hi straw
hat, which was knocked tenl -three de
grees off to admit the llrst pair of lips, In
the left linnil corner of his face lhat car
ried a rucly replica of nn osculation that
took.
If things had gone as planned there would
have beerj twenty marks on No. 3 and the
other reel nils who went to the front for n
kiss Instead of just the four. The Idea Has to
hae twenty girls from the Pride Shop al
Keiths come down to City Hall plara and
give, by means of Inducements. boom to
r-icrultlng. Only four gins iiraveu me
stcrm
And they didn't have a very rn.v lime!
Just think of II , they were all dressed up
In their floral "beslest," and still those, mean
men wouldn't go to war. The Inducements
were announced bj Sergeant Sproul at the
beginning of the party. Theic whs absolutely
no excuse !
C.IItl.S AS RHCIU'ITKIIS
The girls went down Into the thick of
things and personally asked the boys to g"
to war.
The excuses were various
Tolo Ottlneo. who has never failed to get
what she wants over the footlights, came
back from her tour with the fol owing re
port "Thej're all mauled or they're not eight
een. "They've got sore ryes or they'll hae to
go home ami nsk mother first!"
And after all the troublo and tin black
clct lama and the sports shoes. Just ulna
men of the 7lio needed to bring the First
Iteglmcnt Armory up to full war s'.reiiKtli
answered the call.
"Oh, well, we don't care." was the chorus
as the girls got III machines to go back to
the make-up rooms In Keith'. "We had
a perfectly grand time at the rehearsal."
Sh-h ! That's ii secret what happened at
the armory at Uroad and I'allowhlll slterts
before thu machine gun flivvers stnrted on
their parade down Hrnad street with Inch
cargo of prospective Mr.sers.
Sergeant Sirroul real y fell II his duly
to get those girls used to the parl. The
sergeant is iiuitu n looker, and lie taught
the girls Just an carefully and even as
tenderly ns he could Not a ulrl did he
leae out. He tried them on tin- straight
ahead, on the fatherly brow kind and he
showed them how to pick u pucker.
And so Myrtle and Gladys, Iteatrlce and
Toto are strong for tin- men who are In the

who stood out In the Cliy Hall plaza are
just too too mean for anything, and they're
never, never going to kiss again until

Carelessness Is the Thing
That Costs
Economy does not mean parsimony and stinginess.
Sensible economy means the cutting out of careless
waste.
Sometimes that careless waste appears in the burning
of electric lamps in the presence of daylight.
Often it is seen in the reckless use, as scratch pads, of
expensive office stationery.
Sometimes it shows itself in the negligent counting of
goods shipped.
Many, many times it is in evidence in the use of meas
ured service telephones when the Keystone unlimited '
telephone is available.
All those things cost money unnecessarily and point
to weakness in management.
Ask for our Mr. Blake and he will tell you just how -to
cut telephone expense.
