A special "get-together" meeting
of the city council was held last
Thursday evening in the office of
Councilman u. G.. Lawler, but all
efforts of the city dads te-settle the
controversy accustomed blythe recent
adoption of a motion to pave DIS

and the meeting adjourned with
nothing accomplished in the way of
a settlement of the difficulties.
Mayor A. f. Shaw, who has re-

paving in the district on the ground
that the council had agreed with the
property owners to improve with ma

LIST YOUR ROOMS

All indications point to big en-
rollment at the college this year.
Every room in the girls dormitory
was engaged several days ago and
there is a big demand for rooms in
private dwellings. Amy persons
who have rooms to rent are request
ed to notify Registrar Barnard at
once. as it is feared that there may
be trouble in securing sufficient ac-
commodations. particularly for the
girl students.

the paving, which left the council di-
vided just as it was before.
Several councilmen. including
both those for and against the pay
ing, expressed their opinion that the
matter would be left to the Warren
Construction company whose bid for
paving was accepted by a four to
three vote of the council, in spite of
the strenuous rem onstrance of
Mayor Shaw.
If the company does not attempt
to force Mayor Shaw to sign the
document, it is the intention of the
council to ask for new bids on both
paving and macadam, and then
thresh the problem out on the mer-
its of the bids.
Attorney Allen has expressed his
intention of doing what he thinks
the people of the city want him to
do in the matter and states that he
desires to be absolutely fair to all
concerned. He will probably tane
no legal action to attempt to force
Mayor Shaw's signature and it is
hoped that with the new call for bids
the trouble will be settled. Local
interest in the controversy is at a
high point and Developments are
awaited with much interest.

and This win BE Considerably
Increased

The public schools opened Tues
day with heavy enrolment, which
showed gain of 60 over last year.
A number of the high school pupils
have not come in as yet and it is ex-
pected that there will be a steady in
crease in the attendance during the
next two weeks. The decrease in
the attendance at the Franklin
school is accounted for by the fact
that some of the classes have been
transferred to the main building.
The enrolment by schools as com

PNEUMONIA PREVENTION

The end of the winter, far from
bringing q termin alton to the danger
from pneumonia, ia reality marks the
beginning OF the season when this
disease becomes IN extremely serious
cause of increase of mortality. In
recent yesrs this increase has become
more and more marked and is all the
more striking because of the decrease
In deaths from other infectious die
eases.
Considering the nature of the dis.
base and the intense str ain which 1t
imposes On the heart, 1t is probable
that the only hopeful outlook for any
considerable reduction In pneumonia
mortality 10 through the prevention Of
the disease. The prospect OF . cure
for it, according to the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. has
grown less since We have learned more
about the disease.
While pneumonia is most frequent
during the colder portion OF the year
II is not dependent entirely on low
temper ature. The disease occurs 1t
all seasons and In oil climates. II
does not work its greatest rsvsges in
the colder climates, but 10 rather are

almost never known to occur within

Pneumonia 10 favored by lack of
