FAVOR BOND ISSUE
FOR BUILDING OF
CONVENTION HALL
ALDERMEN INCLINE TO THIS
PLAN OF FINANCING ENTER.
PRisE-ciTY MUST BUILD, SAYS
MAYOR THOMPSON.

The convention hall idea has taken
hold strongly with city officials since
The Times has been bringing home
the merits OF such proposition. Opin.
ion seems TO favor a bond issue. and
the idea OF Aid. Brozo, of increasing
the bonding limit. takes we'll with al
dermen and others. II will probably
be considered by the board OF COM
merce committee. also. within few
days.
Raising the bonding limit is a SER
ious question and should be voted on
by the people," says Mayor Thomp-
son. The taxpayers must have the
final say. The same idea has come
up before, but has been turned down
because OF its effect upon the credit
Of the city which Is the best in the
country. today.
THE only way TO get a proper CON
vention hall is by having the city
build 1t. Private parties will not
build one that will be all we want,
because they cannot tie up so much
money In deal that is not big mon
ey-maker. The hall can be used for
municipal purposes OF various kinds
after II is built and would add great
ly to the advantages OF the city"
Aid. Gutman favors waiting until
after the new constitution is adopt
ed in the fall, before deciding on the
exact method of building such hall.
Under the new constitution, We
will have the right. by vote OF the
people. to increase the bonding limit
to any extent that Is desirable" says
Gutman. II am in favor Of conven-
ton hall and will do what | can to.
ward getting one for the city"
The people OF Detroit are getting
educated up 10 the point OF realizing
the merits OF such plan" says Prof
A. ii. Griffith, OF the Museum OF Art.
This is a conservative town and II
takes long while for an idea TO take
root some times, but think this will
carry now"
Il favor building a convention hall
end bonding the city for the cost OF
such needed Improvement" says Hen
ry Barneskan, candidate for alder
man In the Fourteenth ward. The
citizens OF Detroit are intelligent
enough TO realize the immense advant-
age that will accrue TO the town
through being able to entertain the
largest conventions. 1t would give
us worldwide name to be able to
have national political convention
here. We have good hotel facilities
now, and yet we have not had real
ly big national convention In eight
or nine years"

 And all the way to the park Bub- bles' heart sang. and she seemed to walk on air. and she was glad that she hadn't bought the nat with the white feather. She was glad she hadn't been extravagant, for Jimmie seemed to like her just as well in the black sailor with the red rose. In the park the beds were full of jonquiis and tulips and hyacinths and crocuses, and under the towering alm- ond tree Jimmie and Bubbles sat down to talk.
 You sec" Jimmie explained, there's Bob Travers. and he's in the navy, and he's away on three years cruise, and he made me promise that I'd look after Alice-they've been in love with tdCH OlutI SllCt lntt OtIt hlus-duu when AlIce's father got sick tried to help, but they wouldn't let me. and it seemed as if getting her the dress would be what Bob would want me to do, and now he's going to get home in time for the wedding. and told Millie she'd have to have him for best man."
 "Oh- cried Bubbles. aglow with happiness
 And then I told her how much thought of you, and she wants us to be in the wedding party. and Oh. we'll. look here. Bubbles" And in the shad- ow of the towering almond he held out his arms.
 And Bubbles. having wept a little weep of joy on his broad shoulder. sat up and wiped her eyes. ''Ain't glad didn't spend all my money for that feather. JimmieT- she said "I'l get the white net skirt and wear the rose but ribbon

 But Bubbles was looking at her curi- ously.
 Don't you mind" she asked-"I mean not being bridesmaid?"
 "Yes, I do." Al.ce said, and Bubbles saw that her eyes were full of tears. But I have to give all of my money to mother now that father is sick and can't work"
 Well. it's a hard old world" Bub- bles remarked as they reached the cor her where they separated. If 1 decide to take the ribbon, Alice, I'll let you know in the morning"
 At the next corner Bubbles met Jim mic Bryan.
 Jimmie" she said, with her gray eyes challenging him-"Jimmie. are you going to be best man at Millie's wedding?"
 Sure" answered Jimmie-"cutaway. white flower in my coat and all the rest of the agony"
 And me to walk up the aisle with you?" said Bubbles.
 Jimmie looked at her in surprise.
 'I thought Alice was going-was go- ing to do it." he said.
 .Na rD,,A bles informed him. and if I wasn't selfish pig I'd get them for her, but want a white feather in my summer hat"
 Jimmie hesitated. Look here. Bub- bAss," he said a little awkwardly, ''sin't there some way you could make Alice think you were getting her dress and let me pay for it? I'd like to do It.
 Bubbles caught her breath quickly.

 Jimmie flushed. she has an awful hard time" he said
 "Yes. she does" Bubbles agreed ab- stractedly. She was a little white, but she still smiled at Jimmie.

 "Aw. Bubbles" he stammered. you know I think you're about the incest thing ever
 "But you'd rather have Alice walk up the aisle with you" was her quiet reminder
 'I wouldn't" he declared stoutly. but I'm sorry for Alice"

 Till recently the proprietor of an old time hotel in Warwickshire used to invite all his customers to accom- pany him and his wife to the service at the parish church on Sunday mornings, which was situated on the opposite side Of the road. the house being closed while they were away. On returning each customer was in- vited to partake of refreshments of- fered by the hospitable landlord free of charge.

Bubbles sighed.

Bubbles sighed. "u- I.e." she said as she came tU the tenement where she lived on the third floor. He looked st her anxiously. You're not cut up about not being bridesmaid, are you?" he asked
 She shook her head. "No," she an. swered bravely.
 'Wall. you're pretty nice, Bubbles '' he said heartily. and then he went on his way.
 When Bubbles cached home she took out her hoarded store of money. With what she would add on her next pay day she would have S1O. and she could buy the hat with the white feather
 She fingered the money for a mo ment. and then she dropped her head on her arm with a sob, for Bubbles had wanted that hat to wear to church on Sunday morning when she sang in the choir with Jimmie Bryan. It had been for Jimmie's admiration that she had craved the pretty hat And. after all. it was Alice that Jimmie cared for.
 Two days later Alice came to her counter breathIessly.
 '0h. Bubbles" she said, such a wonderful thing has happened."
 What" asked Bubbles innocently.
 And then Alice told her of the won derful gown and the dainty accessories that had come the night before in big box.
 Il can't imagine who sent them."
 "It must have been fairy god mother" said Bubbles demurely.
 And now I can be Millie's brides maid" caroled Alice when she had exhausted all her eonjectures as to the giver. You won't mind, will you. Bubbles?"
 ''No." said Bubbles steadily.
 And ss'she sold needles and pins and hooks and eyes and whalebones and hundred and one other things that day she told herself that she did not care. Why should she want to walk beside Jimmie Bryan when he preferred to have Alice?
 She passed the window with the hat with the white feather that night with out a glance and on Sunday she wore a plain littie black sailor with a cheap red rose. and she looked prettier than ever in Jt

CURIOUS HOTEL CUSTOMS.
Every Cuss Word Costs Penny
 Drink for Church Attendants.

A curious custom prevails at an Edinburgh hotel. Whenever a GUS toner is heard to swear he is required to place penny in box on the bar counter. It is not a matter for sur prise that the landlord hears much less bad language than some of his fellow publicans in the capital of Scotland.
 The following is a quaint idea for providing funds for picnics and social evenings. It is carried on with much success at an Ashton-on-Mersey inn. A knocking club" is connected with the inn, and when customer calls for refreshment he is expected to knock on the table or counter before drinking. If he fails to do so he is fined one penny. Any one who wrongfully accuses another of break ing this unique rule Is also fined. The money thus obtained provides funds for many enjoyable outings and pleas ant evenings during the course of the year.
