Sail or Motor Boat. Suggestions
To make the sail pleasure add all
the accessories of convenience and
safety to your boat. Substitute brass
or copper fittings for the rusty irons.
A good lantern and signal should al
ways be carried. An electric flash
light is always safe around the
gasoline motor-don't use matches.
The next time you make a trip OUT
to the boat, look her over. If she
needs anything in the way of equip
ment, go to the Lyon & Grammar Co.,

in the way of fittings, priced reason
ably.

PARK THEATRE ATTRACTIONS

Thirty two pounds Of rice Is quite
a quantity-boiled, it would be more
than any Chinaman could dispose OF
at sitting even though he were of
sedentary disposition and remained
a long time at table. But it does
not mean so much to the Excuse
Me- company which will come to the
Park Theatre this week Saturday,
matinee and night, to present Rupert
Hughes episodical farce, because the
members of the company are not
obliged to eat it; they throw it. The
scenes Of Excuse. Me- are laid on
board a transcontinental train en-
route from Chicago to San Francisco,
and as the train is about to leave, its
passengers are increased by inclusion
of a young man and young woman
whom the others believe to be a bridal
couple. Anticipating their company
the passengers have prepared a cor
dial reception for them and as the
train leaves the station the bewildered
youth and maiden are assaulted with
showers Of rice and an old shoe or
two. The amount of rice used each
time is made known by the requisi-
tions of the property man who insists
that it takes that amount to carry off
the incident of the welcome as graph
icaly as the stage manager requires.

Especial from United Press

Portland, Conn, Aug. 16-For the
past three years the same good sized
turtle has "poached" on David Will
liams' musk melon patch. Each year
the turtle has been removed several
miles from the scene of his depreda-

return but the turtle always came
back. In 1909 Williams carved his
initials and a date on the ANIMAL

three miles away in an entirely new
direction. Great interest is manifest

London, Aug. 16-Premier Asquith
early today, called the cabinet into
extraordinary session to discuss the
industrial crisis, at the behest of the
officials of the board of trade who
failed in their efforts to- bring the
railroad managers and their employees
together. 1t was unofficially stated
that if the cabinet finds no plan for
averting a general railroad strike, the
government will summon the royal
engineers and the army service corps
to work the railways. 1t is said that
the war office is already preparing
for such an order.
The discomfort, which has heretofore
been manifested in spasdomic strikes
On the railways in various cities, is
now countrywide and the men are
said to be awaiting the order to join
the other trades on strike.
A final effort was made, early to-
day, before the cabinet meeting to in
stitute negotiations between the rail-
way managers and the federation
leaders but the managers persisted in
refusing to treat with the men except
through the Cancellation board where
the workers are represented only in
a minority. The men allege that pre-
vious decisions of this board were I'M
