to the capital this afternoon and par

Dr. Sawyer, after he had issued his
formal statement, told newspaper
men that he and his colleagues were
awaiting the return of Dr. Finney
and the results of several laboratory
tests before deciding on a course of
action. It was said at the time that
an operation might be deemed ad
visable, although no decision had
been reached in this respect and fur
ther consultation might convince the
medical staff that none ought to be
performed.
Air of Suspense.
Throughout the day an air of sus
pense pervaded the White House.
Mrs. Harding appeared to be hold
ing her own, and in some respects
her condition seemed more favorable,
but the ndings of the physicians in
attendance were awaited by the presi
dent and others with considerable
anxiety.
At no time was the president far
from the bedside of Irs wife. Worn
by his vigil of the past 48 hours, he
spent much of his time in the sick
room, occasionally retiring to his
study nearby for a conference with
the physicians.
Clifford Kling of Marion, O., a
brother of Mr. Harding, arrived at
the White House shortly after 8 thi
morning. Two hours later Dr. Mayo,
accompanied by his wife, reached
the capital, Dr, Carl Sawyer meeting
their train and taking them imme

Ogallal Renews
Oldtime Scenes
Annual Roundup Will Be
Held Next Week Early
Days Are Recalled.
Ogallala, Neb., Sept. 10.-(Spe-cial.)-About
60 Sioux Indian, un
der the leader.hip of Chief Waving
Gra. are encamped at the ar
groundt to take part in the Ogallala
Kventh annual roundup and the
Kieth county 15th annual fair.
Just a short distance from where
the Indiana are camped i located
the famous Kossler hill from which
the Texas cattle were loaded on
board car in the early eventie.
Ogallala, beingfi the end of the
Old Texas Trail, wa a lively cattle
town and hundred of thousand ot
cattle were driven up from the putn
and shipped to point east, or loM to
the government and taken to the 1 dif
ferent Indian reservation, between
the year. 1870 and 1885,
Not far to the north of this spot
is located the Old Boot Hill ceme
tery, having been so named because
of the many cowboys who died with
their boot on, and who were buried
in thi cemetery, located on a small
knoll. There were no stone to
mark the resting place of these bay,
but a simple cedar stake or a mounc?.
There was no caretaker to allot the
space and the ones who were par
ticularly interested in the bunal
simply picked out the place they
thought would be easiest digging and
a rough grave was made. Some time
the sun slowly coming up over the
hills to eastward would reveal a new
grave which had been made during
the night. Few cared to Investigate
the why and where-fores of this new
grave, and it was just another ould
passed on to meet the great beyond.
The Ogallala Round Up which will
be held next week, i one of the
events which link up the past with
the present. There will be all the
usual cowboy stunts, bucking horses,
wild steers, horse races, trick riding
and all.
The agriculture exhibit will be
larger than ever before, and the fair

Omaha's Loss From Fires

Fire Department Undermanned, However, National

Water Supply Change Suggested.
Much pngrei i thown In the
report on the city of Omaha by the
National Board of Fire Underwriter,
in the opinion of City Councilman
Ziinnian. The report, just received
here, supersede one made in 191 J.
Intummingup fire department effi
ciency of the city the report ay
the department ii under good tupcr
vision and commanded by competent
officer, but that requirement for
appointment to the department are
not exacting,
"During the even month' vaca
tion period an average of 20 men on
vacation and (ix on sick leave are
absent at all times, And trained sub
stitutes are not provided to offset
thi deficiency of men," continue the
report. "Many companie are light
ly undrmanned, more particularly at
night. Discipline apparently it well
maintained. No regular drills are
held, and the men are not given
proper training. , . . The re
sponse to alarmt i usually prompt
find ample, but at time Is affected
by the detailing of companies to fill
private water cistern."
13,451,688 Firs Lo.
The report tatet the "gro fire
lo for the past five year, a given
by fire department record, wa
$.M5l.6n8. not including the loss of
$539,000 in the court house fire Sep
tember 29, 1919, the annual lose
varying from 293,44vS in 1919 to $1,
191.147 in 1917.
"The average annual number of
fire wa 1,674. with an average los
per fire of $412, a low figure. The
average annual number of fire per
1,000 population, based on an average
population of 190,000, wa 7,6, a very
high number; and the average an
nual tos per capita wa $3.63, a mod
erate figure."
Further on the report tate that
fire flow test indicate sufficient
quantities of water in manufacturing
and minor mercantile district, but
that in the manufacturing section
east of the congested value district,
and in the mercantile district in the
recently annexed addition of Benton,
the tupply wai teriously inadequate.
Improvements Neceuary.
"Improvement made ince the la,
previou inspection have added ma
terially to the adequacy and reliabil
ity of the water upply ytem, but
to maintain satisfactory fire protec
tion with increasing population and
consumption the improvement con
templated, including additional pump
ing capacity and strengthening of the
distribution iytem, should be darted
a toon a practicable," the report
read.
Commenting on recent improve
ment of the fire alarm ytem, the
report call attention to the installa
tion of 12 additional alarm boxes and
the substitution of 12 other boxes.
It concludes, however, that, although
equipment at the fireproof telephone
building is new, there is no provision
for the manual transmission of sig
nals; that many of the boxes are ob
solete in type, about two-third hav
ing the "unreliable brush"; that boxes
usually are located on polet near
street intersection, but need red
bands on poles and red lights indi
cating locations, and that distribution
is only fair in the congeted value
dittrict and it unsatisfactory else
where. The general maintenance i
good, however, the report add.
Building Laws Deficient.
Touching on the city building de
partment, the report ay that "the
building laws contain a number of
good features, but are deficient in sev
eral which apply to fire protection,
particularly with respect to limita
tions of areas, wall thicknesses and
the protection of exposed window
and floor openings. , . . Struc
tural conditions are still weak, as
buildings of the predominating type
are mainly lacking in fire-resisting
features."
"Severe individual and group fires
are probable in the minor mercantile,

V
have for years used AC FJ Jgs as atandard factory
equipment. Among these:
Dodgt Brothers tars have been AC-equipped since
uie company was rounded. .
Buich has been AC-equipped for fourteen years.
Nash cars, both Sixes and Fours, have always been
csjujjyci ""-ii w a.
Oakland for the past fourteen years.
Chevrolet has always used AC Plugs.
Cadillac, Chandler. Cleveland, Dort, Durant, Esses,
Hudson, Hutmtobile, Lafayette, Maxwell, Olds

blame the carburetor or piston rings.

Ford Owners:'-The AC 1075 for Ford engines is the
plug you should use. It has our patented wire clip
