FIRE CO. AGAIN
ASKS FOR BIDS.
New Plans for tbe Wissahickon Fire
Co.
Members   Inspect   the   Revised   Drawing—-Donations    Coming     in    Slowly
for Motor Apparatus.
A dozen members of the Wissahickon Fire company, Ambler, met in  the
fire hall on  Friday evening, at  which
time Architect  Phillips   presented  the
revised plans    for  the proposed    new
lire house which it is believed can be
erected for about $12,000.
The new drawings retain the artistic effect of the front of the structure
and the practical features of the interior. ' The basement will be changed but little. All the present windows
are retained, one on the east side being made into a door, which will open
into the corridor between the two
rows of cells. The .present heater
will be utilized, and only a portion ot
new concrete floor will be put down.
On the first floor, several of the girders will be lowered to bring the floor
to the street level, and a concrete floor
will be laid on that section occupied
by the apparatus. A walsh with a
drain will be provided in the middle
thereof. In the "rear will be the general assembly room and at the back
will be the sleeping quarters of the
house man. On the second floor front
will be a room, for council and a committee room in the rear, with the rest
of the structure roofed over the first
story. A hose tower is provided. The
frontal design substitutes a plain but
ornate and practical design for ths
loggia -plan of the flrst drawings. Ths
brick work will be of substantial effect and the terra cotta work ot plain
design, which win add to the practical
simplicity of the structure.
Contractor Kemmerer, of Ambler,
who was ths lowest bidder on tho original plans, inspected the new draw-
ihgs and expressed the belief that the
building can be erected within the
amount above stated. Architect
Phillips has the specifications completed and hopes to have the new
bids ready by Nov. 17 for submission
to the next regular meeting of tbo
company.
The method of financing the structure has already been outlined in tht.
"Gazette." The plan provides for aj
blanket mortgage to secure the issuance of five per cent, bonds in denominations $ioo each. These will he
issued for a short term of years and
sold at par should make a very attrac-
tive local investment with ample se- I

The Republican party is swept back
into power again as a result of Tuesday's election, with Hughes and Fairbanks heading the ticket. The house
of representatives is won by the same
party, but the present indications are
that the United States senate will be
Democratic by a reduced majority.
Locally Congressman Watson is reelected and the local representatives
in the general assembly will be Republicans.
Returns from Philadelphia up to
noon this Wednesday indicate that the
Democrats have gained many votes
over the early reports issued. An inquiry ta the Philadelphia North American at noon was replied to that nothing definite can be determined until 2

EJlen, widow of the late Charles

by the    committee having in    sharge
I the raising of funds, and sufficient encouragement has been  forthcoming to
convince  the  active workers that  the
public will second the appeal and send
I in their contributions so that the machine may be fully paid for promptly.
A   second   machine     has   been  pur-
■ chased and on the chassis thereof the
I chemical  apparatus    will  be  mounted,
which  will motorize the  whole equipment  of  the   company.
This means that the company will
shortly be thoroughly equipped to
promptly respond to all calls from
within a district, comprised within a
five-mile radius from the borough
limits. The chemical motor apparatus, which is strong, durable and of
90 horsepower, wili respond to all
such calls and should be able to ran*
der valuable service in all cases. This
means that the district outside of
Ambler, wherein there are many extensive homes and valuable property,
will be protected as never before, and
it is hoped that the efforts of tho
company to extend its activities will
be appreciated by those property
owners and residents within this district.
Let everyone give what he or she
can. A check mailed now to H. G.
Knight, president, or Wm. J. Brown,
secretary, will be appreciated and will
be immediately applied to the funds

The car for the chemical apparatus is now in the machine shop of D.

being overhauled. The body has already been stripped and the motor
taken down. It will be ' thoroughly
renovated.
White   Secures   His  Children.
W. Littell, White "scored first
blood" Saturday, as it were,. in the
litigation over the domestic unheaval
in his family. The court at Norristown decided that it is without jurisdiction in the habeas corpus action
brought by Mr. White's wife, Mrs.
Adele Cantrell White, against him, to
get possession of their two sons, whom
he placed in a school at Haokensack.
N. J.
The court's opinion is on a motion
to quash the writ of habeas corpus.
The writ was filed three weeks ago,
and tho motion to quash was presented last Monday by counsel for Mr.
White. This step was vigorously contested by counsel for Mrs. White.
To prove that he is not a resident
of Montgomery county, having removed to Philadelphia previous to this
action, Mr. White was called to the
witness stand. He declared he had
removed to' 5528 Wayne avenue, Germantown, on October 17. The writ
was not served on him until four days
later.
At the end of the session the court
announced that several days would be
required to arrive at a decision, and
it was tactitly agreed that tho case
would be continued. The decision
Saturday,  therefore,  was a surprise.

the house and the animals. During
the winter four brood sows may be

separate  quarters.
The cost of constructing a house of
this size need not exceed $15.00, not
including the labor of building. In

Students  of the  Farm  School  Start  a
Riot.
Students of the National Farm
school, near Doylestown, started a
riot Friday when one of their classmates was expelled for alleged improper conduct which was followed up
by an assault on a professor, and Dr.
John H. Washburn, dean of the institution, was obliged to call Officer
Joseph A. Wodock, of Doylestown, to
quell' the  disturbance.
Alexander Arloff, of New York, was
the student about whom the disturbance centred. When remonstrated
with by a professor for improper actions, it is said, he assaulted the instructor, and was expelled. As be
reached the railroad station to leave,
the story goes, his classmates collected and prevented him from leaving,
taking him back to Segal hall and declaring that they would run the place.
They continued their belligerent attitude after Officer Wodock arrived,
but he insisted that Arloff must leave
the premises and in the end he did.      i
Some time ago another Instance of

Shelter Houses For Swine.
The construction of expensive hog
houses Is not always warranted. If
it is [possible to provide the necessary
protection by means of cheap shelter
it should be done. Many farmers
make a practice of keeping hogs in
small colony houses, which are found
satisfactory. Such houses may be
moved from place to place and may
be used winter and summer. During
the winter hogs should be kept in a
protected place if possible.
There are two types of hog colony
houses, namely the "A" shaped and
the "Shed-Roof" house. The latter ta
more desirable as it allows a greater amount of room kind is cooler in
the summer because the roof does not
come so close to the ground. The
use of movable colony houses also
makes  it  possible  to    keep  the  hog*.

Care of Tires in Winter.
"The winter season seems to
strengthen the properly inflated tire,"
says an official of tho Fisk Rubbet
company,
"Under-infllation is responsible for
a large percentage of tiro expense."
"Most motorists think that during
the summer months thoy should ride
their tires at low pressors to prevent
blowouts. The decreasing of the pressure does not decrease the heating of
the tire, but rather increases it, as
the side walls are subjected to a greater bending strain and friction between the layers of fabric generates
neat. Due to this . excessive flexing
the the fabric cracks and loosens up
to such an extent that the tiro becomes weakened. Tho cracked and
chafed fabric ruins the inner tube."
"During the winter season, the motorist does not let the air out of his
tires as he does ln the summer, but
alows his tires to have a greater and
more constant air pressure; hence,
the percentage of tires consigned to
the scrap heap is much less in winter than in summer."
"It has been definitely determined
by test, with a tire at proper pressure, that lt is impossible to effect an
increase in air pressure because of
the heating of the tire when in use,
to such an extent that it will injure
it in any way. To prevent your tirss
from painting, give them the proper
amount of air."
