one of the horses in the fire depart
ment was not in good condition and
that the city would either have to
get a new team or buy motor equip
ment. The mayor instructed Chair
man Hagen to look up the matter of
obtaining prices on horses immedi
ately. It was also decided to take
up the matter of purchasing motor
equipment for the fire department
a little later.
The street lights were ordered to
be turned on immediately due to the
darkness and also due to the bad
condition of the streets and side
walks.

anything serious happens, an ex
football player who happens to be
standing by, downs the bandit with
a flying tackle and the police take
the next step. Collegiate education
continues to come in handy.
Fire record. 55.36 P. M. 415 4th
Street. Junk shop. That sounds in
consequential enough to interest
a few and definite enough to satisfy
all, yet there remains the unanswer
ed qhestion: When was it 11.36 P
M.? The difference between Day
light Saving Time and Standard
Time gives a margin of an hour. If
Standard Time is referred to, the
minute was correct only for a thin
meridian line, and the junk shop
very likely was to the west or to the
east of that line. Make the neces
sary correction for the exact loca
tion of the fire, but that does not
dispose of the matter. Clocks, il
operating accurately, grind out a 2-1
hour day, but the sun does not div
ide the years into days of equal
duration. From month to month,
he varies the length of the day grad
ually, to suit himself, and does not
worry if the day is so much as 1(1
minutes too short or too long. Fur
thermore, astronomers have a time
be discussed. Those who have solv
ed to their satisfaction the problem:
How old is Ann? can move on to
the more difficult question: What
time is it?
