Bangor streets presented lively ap-
-pesrance, though the many people who had
spent the night on cots, chairs or in walk

| The photographers have been doing a
rushing business. In some cases the like
ne.ses are good AMI in some eases no bet
ter than the subjects. 1t Is amusing to
watch the we-wsnt-our -pictures-taken frl-
low and girl face the camera in their
places. They oftimes make the event
more of handicap than facing the enemy's
guns would be.
The gambling stands were very conspic-
nous by their absence. Chief of Police
Gilman did good job when he cleaned

better for the smaller concerns who only
take nit kle or dime from your pOck-
