VOL. XXXIV. SIREN TO REPLACE ANTIQUATED FIRE BELL City Council Asks Bids for New Fire Alarm Survey Completed Permit Revoked The city council, In session Tuesday evening, voted to purchase an adequate fire siren to replace the antiquated fire bell and authorized the city clerk to call for bids for both 'double and single head sirens, of three phase, 60 cycle type, with automatic control and flasher and remote control. The siren selected by the council will be given a 30-day trial on the roof of the city hall before being finally accepted. The council received a communication from the Ingleside club, asking why no reports of milk testing have been published in the official city paper, as required by the milk ordinance recently passed.

The ordinance calls for bacteriological tests of all milk offered for sale, but the councilmen claim that no funds are now available for that purpose. Provision for carrying on the testing work, which will cost approximately $25 per month, will be made at the beginning of next year. A petition, from property owners on Cleveland street requested the placing of a street lamp on that street between State and Bryant streets. The request was referred to the committee on lights, with power to act. Permission was granted to E.

J. Willie to remodel his garage build- ing on Grand street. The city engineer reported that the placing of survey monuments throughout the city has been completed and blueprints made of all the various districts. The new survey changed property lines as much as five feet in some instances and in one case disclosed the fact that a cemetery encroaches upon a public road by several feet. The bond of G.

L. Chamberlin for hauling garbage to the city garbage grounds was cancelled, Tuesday evening by the city council, it being alleged that Chamberlain was guilty of infractions against the city garbage ordinance. His permit will he withdrawn December 15. The council voted to keep the garbage yard open only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and between the hours of 10:00 a. m.

and 12 noon. The yard will be in charge of XV. T. Brock. SUFFERS BROKEN ARM Louis H.

CITIZENS, STUDENTS i WANT COACH WELCH 1 Insistent Demand for Long-Term Contract Team Returned Wednesday With Many Cripples I "We want Welch" is the popular slogan on the streets of Pullman as well as on the campus of the State College and a concerted campaign to induce the popular football coach to return to the State College next year and for several years after has been launched. Sentiment is solidly be- hind the Indian mentor and public feeling is strong for a three or fve year contract. Wednesday morning the entire freshman class of the college appeared with green tags on the lapels of their coats bearing the inscription: "The Frosh Are Behind the Team. We Want Welch Next Year." The citizens of the community and the students of the college voice their disapproval of one-year coaching contracts, which result in annual speculation as to who will be coach the following year.

In its leading editorial Tuesday The Evergreen, the student twice-a-week, decried the an-1 nual "a la coach speculation," and said, in part: "The topic of the day is, Will Coach Welch be back next i This popular pastime is exceedingly 1 non-productive. We can not too strongly urge the athletic council to adopt the policy of signing up the I coach for a three or five-year period. i We want Coach Welch here next year the following year, and the year after that, at least. The policy of signing up a coach from year to year is wrong in practice." The editorial goes into the details of the advantages which would ac- crue through long-time coaching contracts and cites the remarkable record of Coach Gilmore Dobie at the University of Washington as proof thai continuity of coaching admin istrations and coaching systems con! tribute to the best Interests of the i institution and the team. "Let's sign Coach Welch for at least three years and spread the Con gar fame," is the closing appeal.

With the biggest squad of cripples of the past few seasons, the Cougar football team returned Wednesday i morning from California, when last Saturday they met defeat at the hands of the team representing the I University of Southern California.

PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1021 PULLMAN ENDORSES i LONG AND SHORT HAUL Would lie Remedial Measure in Case! Application of Railways for Freight Differentiation Is Grunted The Pullman chamber of commerce Tuesday endorsed the long and short haul bill now pending in congress and Instructed its secretary to make known the endorsement to the congressmen and senators from the state of Washington. The action followed the report of Professor 11. 11.

Maynard on the recent rate hear-j ing in Spokane. Professor Maynard represented the local chamber at the hearing and brought back a detailed report of the possibilities of the case in the event the petiton of the rail- way companies is granted. He was followed by J. N. Emerson, retiring president of the chamber, who dealt with the case from the standpoint of the possible effect of the granting of the request of the railways upon inland merchants who patronize Spokane wholesalers.

It was pointed out thai in case the railway petition is granted the long and short haul would prove remedial for inland merchants and their customers and the chamber voted to get behind the clause at once. N. F. Sturges of Spokane, who is in charge of the Near East Relief campaign in this district, reported that Pullman farmers have donated half a car of wheat for the relief of sufferers and asked the citizens to subscribe the other half. A committee including W.

L. Greenawalt, .1. N. Scott, W. A.

CITIZENS WILL BANQUET HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPS Undefeated Pullman High School Will lie Special Guests of the lumber of Commerce Pullman will honor the high school football champions next Tuesday when Coach I' P. Gaiser and his squad of huskies will be special guests of the chamber of commerce at the weekly luncheon. Each member of the squad will be "fathered' during the session by some member of the chamber to be selected for that pleasant, duty and in this manner the men will be distrbnted at the various tallies and not seated in a group as heretofore, The high school team won a tricounty championship this year, de(eating the best high school teams of Whitman and Asotin counties in Washington and Latah county In Idaho. This record is a remarkable one and the citizens voiced their appreciation and approval when they extended the Unanimous invitation to the players to appear as guests of the chamber. Starting with a squad of willing but inexperienced men, prospects for a successful season were not bright and neither the coach nor his men ventured a prediction of even a onecounty champion team.

The boys set to work with the spirit that accomplishes results, however, and under the tutelage of Coach Qaiser soon presented a lineup that won game after game and finally brought the championship of three counties to the school. True sportsmanship and close adherance to the rules of the state high school association marked the play of the team throughout the season, and every win was a deserved one. MANY ATTEND RATE HEARINGS Inland Empire communities were admirably represented at the long and short haul rate hearings at Spokane last week. Overwhelming evidence was submitted as to the destruction of business to follow any alternation in the present method of fixing railway freight rates. Special stress was on the hardships that would be inflicted upon producers of agricultural products.

that he went again several times to see them. Mr. Havilcek has seen puppet shows in Europe but he considers Sarg's Marionettes by far the most finished product. The thing that struck him in particular was the wonderful technique and the expression of emotions and actions of human beings as portrayed by these puppets. Professor Maynard had a letter from his brother In Hayes.

Kansas, stating that Marionettes had very recently been there at the State Normal School. He regarded them as one of the biggest hits ever made there DUNTON, TACKLE, TO CAPTAIN 1022 COK.ARSJ Ford Dunton. tackle on the State College football team, was unanl-1 mously elected captain of 1 he team! next year by his team mates Tuesday afternoon as the quad was I on its way hack to Pullman from Its Invasion of California.

"Three-fourth of the girls In our maternity hospitals come from the country districts. 1 used to think they came to the big cities pure and Innocent and trusting and that they were less suspecting than the city girls, but 1 have changed my mind. I believe there are a few like that, but 1 believe most of them fall in the rural districts and then rush to the big cities to cover their shame.

"I hope the time will come when the Army will have workers to go into all towns and tell why girls go wrong. Wo have learned something of the reason from the lips of lens of thousands of American small-town girls who have come to us in their shame. The instruction that will save them must he given by their parents in the home and by tho teachers in the schools." The extension i.i lie- Salvation! Army's homo service program has brought the work of these homes before the public in a particularly vivid manner. Com advisory boards have been quick to realize the efficient manner in which the Salvation Army handles this problem and already many girls have been sent from tho country districts and placed In the homes through the agency of the county advisory boards. In the course of a few months these iririi will leave the homes, Eelf-rei speeting mothers, determined to folj low their hlsh ideals of true womani direct result of their asjsoclatlon in the home.
