this statement on the city's expert
ence In the Woodward-ave. sewer
agreement.
He suggested that the council adj
mere strictly to it's original offer of a
right-of.way to the Detroit river
through Livernois-ave. and allow the
village of Highland Park to build it's
own sewer clear through to the river.
Highland Park has absolutely no
riparian rights In the Detroit river,
he said and even this concession
could not be forced upon the city II 1t
did not wish to grant Il. He pointed
out that the only reason that High
land Park was anxious to obtain con-
nection with the Morrell-st sewer
was to avoid the heavy expense of
building It's own system and to saddle
II onto the taxpayers OF Detroit, who
would be compelled to build new
sewer sin another year IL the connec-
ton was made.
City Engineer Mccormick declared
that. when the territory within the
city OF Detroit was connected up with
the Morrellst. sewer, 1t would be
taxed to its capacity and insisted
that. II Highland Park were allowed
to make the connection. parallel
sewer would have TO be built within
a year to take care of the territory
which the Morrell-st. sewer was de-
signed to serve.
II is believed that the committee
will deny the petition, reiterating its
offer Of right-of-way through Liver
nois-ave.. in case the International
commission does not forbid the dump
ing Of more sewage into the Detroit
river.

THE OLD WORLD WAR
FROM DAY TO DAY

The chief strategic position of
the two German battle fronts Is
their point OF contact, where the
southern side OF the German
square meets the western. This
Is In the angle formed by the
Disc and Aisne rivers II is here
that the allies report they are
meeting with the most determin-
ed resistance and cannot make
Roadway. Such naturally follows
from the new German alignment.
II the German square is pierced
at the angle of the two battle
fronts, both lines would be brok-
en-. The army whose front extends
northward would be separated
from the battle front running to
the east and both might be
thrown back In rout. II Is prob
able that Won Kluck's present
duty is chiefly to hold hts angle
at all costs, leaving the direction
OF the new northern battle line
to Won Boehm.
The problem now before the
allies Is more difficult than 1t was
when the battle o. the Aisne be-
gan. To pierce battle front as
skilfully entrenched as the Ger
mans are, requires far greater
power than to turn a flank. II the
German right wing has been
merged into an extended line run
ming to Belgium. direct assault
must be made by the allies I'M
less their artillery proves more
effective than II has hitherto
been. This will cause enormous
losses. but the Germans probably
cannot he driven out OF France by
any other means.

about the new firm.
Mrs. Emma Hill Perkins and Val. B.

the monument business for themselves,
having opened offices in the Commerce

Mrs. Perkins was employed for eight
years at Barre, VT, the largest manu-

six years has been with the Peterson

This is one of the troubles with some
advertisers. They think that once they
have bought their space that is all there
is to it, But space in newspaper
amounts to no more than an automo-
bile that is not used. One might as
well have wagon hitched to the farth-
est star so far as terrestrial locomotion
ia concerned A man does not adver-
tise unless he makes constant use of
his space and it is those who buy but
do not use who have the hammer out
for advertising. They complain that it
brings them no results and naturally so,
for to tell the people in January that
You are selling summer goods, is not
only waste of effort but it also opens
the merchant who follows such SLOW
emily course to the charge that he is
about six months behind the times. But

chants who make test of their adver-
Using and those who have here in st.
Adams have found that The Messenger
brings results if it is given the oppor-

possible to expect paper to sell fur
hats in August. The value of adver-
Using depends in a great measure on
the way the advertiser goes about it,
