No immediate prospect of relief was held out although in Great Britain the temperature was cooler than a day or so ago. Accompanying drought gave official concern, not only in England, but in parts of the continent. In Germany temperatures of 95 Fahrenheit were recorded over the week-end with thousands in Berlin fleeing for relief to the lakes and woods the capital. The tush to the water caused many cas- ualties, not only in Berlin but in other parts of Germany, where drownings were frequent. France endured a temperature of around 90 the past few days. weather prophets assured the per- spiring present conditions probably persist. Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg shared the oppressive heat.

Since Judge Fred Janson- ius had no discretion but to follow the jury's direction, there were no and no arguments by counsel and the formality of sentencing Pot- ter was completed in two minutes.

Chief Thompson had a lot of sponding to the alarm from Twenty- first street and Rosser avenue.

What Ordinance Requires The commission decided to have jWholesale arrests made and stiff fines imposed as means of dis- couraging the si -town practice of motoring to fires and hampering the |firemen. This is all the warning that , Will be given. If the practice is kept up, the members said, a trap will be sprung and a lot of car owners will be gnashing their teeth to the amount of $25.

They also are required to remain a block in the rear of any ap- paratus.
