Fitzpatrick was sentenced January 8, 1915, to twenty years from Cerro Gordo county on the charge of rob bery. Frank Russell was serving a ten year sentence for breaking and en tering. He was a contribution from Carrol! county. It was evident the men had plan ned their escape. Russell waa locked In with the seven o'clock count. Fitz patrick was on night duty, in the pow er house. At about 9 p. m. the yard officer noticed one of the lights that should be burning was dark. Russell who was the state electrician's assist lint, was unlocked to fix the light.

"Something Good to Eat" And if you haven't had some already, you have missed a treat. Holland Rusk is an imported idea. It comes from Holland, brought here by the same Dutch family— the Arendshorsts—who made it for three centuries in Vriezenveen, Holland. There is nothing in the coun try just like it. Nothing so appetizing and tasty—so adaptable. It is the lightest, most nourishing and satisfactory thing for breakfast or lunch. Lmok for th« Windmttt on the Package 18:%^ 4' Suggestion Is Made That Keokuk Public 8afety Department Fol low Idea In Use In Other Cities. PAINT TWO WHITE LINES '"k This Has Tendency to Cut" Out "Jay Walking," and Gives Auto Culv er Feeling of Secur Ity, Too. The parallel lines are painted across a busy street. Auto drivers are re quired by unwritten law to stop at these lines. If there is no one in front of them they may proceed. But so long as people are passing, ma chines must wait. While the parallel line safety zone is used In connection with traffic cops, it could still be used to advantage in Keokuk. Cut Out Jay Walking. For instance, if pedestrians knew they were safe inside of the parallel lines, they wouldp't take a chance in "jay walking" or taking short cut as they do now. For with these lines the "hoofer" who takes the short cut is meat for the auto driver. The automobile driver would have little to kick about even if 'he did have to stop at every crossing. He would have the knowledge that he had obeyed the law, and finding the paral lel lines empty he could proceed. Pedestrian cross walkB is the offi cial title of these walks as they are designated in St. Louis, where they have proved a success. In Chicago where the lines are used there Is a warning painted in white along the street surface telling, pedestrians to keep within the whitd lines and they will be safe. These pedestrian cross walks could very handily be used at all of the Main street intersections, especially Fifth, Fourth and Sixth. They might be used at several places across the avenue and in other streets where there is any amount of traffic, both vehicle and pedestrians.'

J. o. f*s Vijg Why not create safety zones for pedestrians in Keokuk streets? Public safety departments of other cities are painting parallel white lines across the crossings and pedes trians walking between these lines are in zones of refuge, where auto drivers dare not cross so long as there are "hoofers" between the lines.

Chicago is using this plan in Jackson park at all of the crossings and is having unusually good success with this safety measure.
