Everything is all set to hold one of the biggest policeman's ball ever held in Bloomington. The entire Bloomington police force and city administration has been preparing for the ball for many days. This is the second one to be held by the Bloomington police force. Tickets for the occasion have been purchased by many citizens of Bloomington. They were placed on sale by members of the police department. The money that will be made on the ball is to be used in purchasing clothes and equipment for the police force. The city hall is all decorated for the festive occasion, which comes on the "Eve of Spring." The Monon Athletic club, with Ernest Nevins as chairman, is responsible for the decorations. More than 15 gallons of punch was purchased by the force so that all might dance without growing thirsty. A seven piece negro orchestra will provide the "jazz" for the dancing. Their services were donated for the occasion. The chaperons for the evening will be the Messrs. and Mesdames Grant Hazel, Milton Williams, Charles Bivins, William E. Brown, Walter Allen, Maurice Demaree, Chester Evans, and Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Harris.

Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 20, 1924, p. 1. Discovers Old Bill Of Account In Trunk at His Home C. E. Mefford, 425 South Walnut street, recently found an old record in some old trunks at his home. Among them was a statement of an account owed by Davis Browning to William Moberly, who died at the home of Meffords father many years ago. The record was made in 1836 in the month of January. Many of the items on the bill are listed at much less than cost today. For instance six barrels and two bushels of corn for $9.57; one bushel of seed corn at 37 ½ cents; pork at $1.87 per ctw; corn at 87 cents per barrel in another item. At the bottom of the bill which comes to $46.61 ½ cents is credit by one side saddle at $18; credit by $5; and another of $1. The statement is very interesting in point of its age, it being 88 years old. Constance T.

Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 20, 1924, p. 1. FIRE DAMAGES THE CHI OMEGA CHAPTER HOUSE Early Morning Blaze Does Damage of $4,000. For the fourth time within two years, the Chi Omega sorority house at 312 north Washington street, caught fire early today, causing a damage of approximately $4,000. The fire caught from the chimney on the downstairs roof, it is thought, at 6:30 o'clock this morning. It was not discovered until it had eaten its way through the outide [sic] wall of the house into the sleeping dormitory on the third floor. All but two of the girls were downstairs and dressed. These two discovered the fire. The alarm was sounded and neighbors and police ran to the rescue of the girls. Almost all of the furniture, clothes and personal belongings of the girls were carried out. The household goods was damaged to an extent of about $500; the damage to the houe [sic] proper was estimated to be near $3,500. The house is owned by Macie Malott of Indianapolis. The last time the house caught fire, it was rented by Phi Mu sorority, but this year the Chi Omega girls secured it. Fire Chief Strain said today that the roof was graduated so that it extended from the first to the third floors. The roof being shingle, it was a hard matter to stop the fire after it had gained headway. The last time the house was afire the entire roof was burned away. Then it was replaced by another shingle roof. The man who fires the furnace for the girls had just been down in the basement and had fired it up. He said he did not notice any fire when he left. While at this fire, another call was received. The smaller truck made a trip to the Bottling Works, but the fire was extinguished before the firemen arrived. Constance T.
