three of thsm were old enough and large enough to work. Alderman Saul inquired what was the amount of mon ey required for the license. and Presi- dent Gunter said that if they palmed outside the city they would not have to pay anything.

 Signs Suggest Many Thiagn.
 The petition of L. Klein to hang cloth sign across North Court Street led almost as deviously and deeply as the Indian lady that had so many children she didn't know what to do.
 Alderman Parrish said the Klein sign had been there ten days without the granting of the prayer of the peti- tfon. Dr.. Saul suggested that as the petition had been signed February 15 the delay might have been due to- the Council.
 Mir. Johnson objected to the giving of permission to the petitioner. The hanging of the sign, he said would de- tract from the City's appearance. There was law forbidding the hang ing of such signs and it ought to be obeyed. Mir. sullivan said. that similar permissions had been granted before, and he took to task two aldermen who had voted for Cherol<ees and wouldn't vote for their fellow citizens.
 Mir. Kennedy, chairman of the Com mittee ons Streets. which had reported the petition favorably, said that the sign was a small thing and could do no harm.
 Aldermen Toole and Alderman Saul withdrew their motions for reference to committees, and the petitioners prayer was granted.
