CLOSE PUBLIC DANCES
AT II O'CLOCK, RULE
OFFERED BY COMMITTEE
Cbaperons Will Also be Required I'm
South Bend Halls if RecOmmen-
datiOns Are Adopted.

The first called meeting of Mayor
Keller's public dance hall committee
was held in the office Of the mayor
Tuesday morning, at which time Mrs.
w. E. Miller, chairman. turned over
to the mayor the first set of rules and
regulations by which South Bend
dance halls may hereafter be gov
erned.
Chief among the new rules offered
by the committee was the order
which demanded that the dance hall
fix the closing hour at IL O'Clock at
night 1t was felt by members of the
committee that that hour was con-
venient TO all and that 1t would meet
with the favor of the various hall
managers.
The committee. according to a
statement given out by Mrs. Miller, is
not going after the dance evir' in
a manner to incur the ill-favor of the
hall managers or their patrons. In
stead, the committee feels that the
managers of their own volitiOn will
come into the affair in a way which
will assure the committee their CO.
operation and aid.
tain number of rules by which the
managers are expected to govern
their establishments, the committee
will suggest their reforms and ask
the managers to adopt them. The
reports handed in Tuesday morning
contained no suggestions concerning
an age limit or regulations for the
sale of Hq, r in connection with
dance halls.
The latter evil" while one that
the committee wished TO fight, will
not be touched upon until the atti-
tude of the various managers is as
certained. 1t is thought that after
having the matter brought to their
attention they Will drop that part of
their trade.
The committee demanded OF the
mayor that no dance at which young
persons are assembled shall be con-
Quoted without the presence of ca
pable chaperOns.
The committee is not yet ready for
action. The meeting Tuesday morn
ing. according TO Mayor Keller and
Mrs. Miller, was merely for the pur-
pose Of establishing a sort Of under
standing between the mayor and the
members of the committee. Atty. Dan
Pyle was present and offered several
valuable suggestions relative to the
preparation of a code OF regulations
containing the committees recon-
mendations.

ment was issued here today:
The situation of the German and
Austrian armies everywhere is most
hopeful.
Great surprise is expressed at the
activity of German cruisers station

by reports in the British and French
press of the damage they are doing to
the enemy's marine.
The Goeben, Breslau, Emden.

whose successes have caused the livli-

SAYS SOUTH BEND
STANDS Up WITH
BEST Of CITIES
Pres. Morris Reports on In
SpeCtiOn Tour Which Re-
veaIS This City Second to
Few in Municipal Facilities.

Pres. L. NJ Morris. of the board
of public works, at the regular
weekly meeting of the board Tues
day morning, reported the results OBJ
tanned from a tour of inspection of
Indiana and Ohio cities which he
completed Monday. He was the
guest of municipal authorities i'm Gin
cinnati, Dayton, Ft. Wayne and In
dianapolis.
The trip was taken for the purpose
of obtaining comparisons between
South Bend and other cities who have
gained national fame through munic-
ipal Improvement. Dayton was the
chief objective point OF the trip. Its
unique form of municipal govern
ment and its wonderful strides I'm both
municipal and civic reform, made it
a special point of interest for Mr..
Morris.
I'm not one of the cities visited
could I see where South Bend was
bested to any great extent" said Mr..
Morris Tuesday morning. I'm Dayton,
the city of civic pride and achieve
ment in civic improvement, the water
supply is so far below the standard
set by this city that there is no real
comparison
Better Pressure Here.
There the normal pressure main
tanned is but 60 pounds, while here
the pressure IS never lower than SO
pounds. There in time Of extreme
power. their system can provide a
pressure Of 20 pounds. Here, when
we have installed the new hydraulic
valve in the north pumping station.
the pressure will mount TO 125 pounds.
That is one Of the highest pressures
in the country"

buried. Here every ounce collected by
the city is taken TO the crematory and
is burned.
Guest of Manager.
Pres. Morris while in Dayton, was
the guest of II. NJ. Waite, city man
'ager. Dayton has no mayor. The
city Is managed as If II were a huge
corporation, governed by a manager,
a board Of directors and other officers.
Waite has introduced street oiling
there. Dirt streets are oiled twice
yearly. IT that respect. said Mr. Nor
ris. Dayton has set itself a notch
ahead Of South Bend. other streets.
according TO Mr.. Morris. are not kept
as clean and sanitary as they are here.
That was noticed also. in other cities
visited. Ft. Wayne, according to Mr..
Morris, had the dirtiest and untidiest
streets.
When, several weeks ago, Dayton
authorities started the practice OF
working city court prisoners in the
streets, IL was felt there that the idea
was an original one. However. South
Bend beat them 10 it by just one

BLAME KAISER FOR

PETROGRAD, oct. 6.-Pressing
upon the army retreating from Su-
walki, the troops of Gen. Rennen-
kampf are attacking the fortified Ger
man positions extending over front
OF GO miles from Wierballen, Rus
sian Poland. to Lyck. East Prussia,
according 10 reports received at the
war office today.
The Germans are in serious straits
in these DOsitiOns as other Russian
forces advancing from the government
of LOmsa are pressing upon the Ger
mans right wing and threatening 70
get to their rear through the Mazur-
ian lake region.
The following official statement was
issued at midnight;
The German retreat continues on
the front of East Prussia. The Ger
mans are endeavOring TO hold their
fortified positions along the East
Prussia frontier from Wierballen to
Lyck.
Capture Many Prisoners.
Russian troops up TO oct. 3. had
captured 1, ,00O German troops and
several pieces of artillery, one OF
which was mounted on an automobile,
and also a number of ammunition
wagons. automobiles and motorcycles.
According TO Col. Shumsky, mill
taTy expert of the BOurse Gazette. the
unsuccessful German invasion OF Su-
1valki was ordered by Emperor Will
liam. He asserts that the kaiser has
interfered continually with the plans
of his general staff and that the lack
OF continuity in the German cam
paign is due holely TO the nervous, ir-
responsible actions of the emperor.
Now that he has suffered defeat
from a force numerically smaller"
says Col. Shumsky. 1--WE may look for
as successful as his recent unfortunate
coup in which he let Gen. Won linden
berg sacrifice his men without any
dehnited purpose in view.
To Follow Up Advantage.
The Russians intend 10 follow uD
their advantage I'm East Prussia. but
they have a difficult task before them.
Ii is needless to say that Gen Rem
nenkampf Will not sacrifice his men
merely TO win a battle that will be OF
no strategic advantage.
In the Mazurian lake region, the
natural formations and fOTtihcatiOns
erected there by the Germans are well
adapted for the protection Of an army
ON the defensive. IL may well be de-
scribed IS = huge camp"
Skirmishes continue along the Wis
tula front but the main force OF the
German and Russian armies have not
Yet come into contact. In Galicia
large forces Of Cossacbs have engaged
German cavalry In the vicinity OF
CracOw. The bOmbaTdment of Pre-
lnysl continues. The garrison is sub
norunly resisting the Russian be-
siegers who have settled down TO take
the fortress without sacrificing vast
numbers of men
The daring raids OF the cossacks
I'm Hungary are spreading terror
among the people there. one com
pany reached point 80 miles from
Budapest. but retired after cutting
telephone and telegraph lines and
tearing up the railroads.

gard of Citizens Without
Regard to Party.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. e. High
praise for the administration of Pres.
Wilson was given by Gov. Martin II.

his leadership of the democratic party
in New York state and announced his
purpose of being a "constitutionalist"
governor. Referring to the national
administration Gov. Glynn said:

it must be to you, to confer at a time
when our party is not only united as
a party, but commands the confidence
and high regards of citizens of the
whole country without regard to fac
ton class or past party affiliations.
This condition is due chiefly to
the clear sighted and stateSmanly ad-
ministration of the national govern
ment under the guidance of Woodrow
Wilson.
Adds Glory to Name.
"In its conduct of national affairs
the democratic party has a leader who
assumed his leadership at the request
of the American people, who main
tained that leadership through sheer
force of mind and character, and who
is discharging the duties Of leadership
in a manner that has added new glory
to the American name throughout the
civilized world.
There is need for leadership in the
affairs Of the democratic party in New
York state. There is need for a party
who can direct all the affairs Of this
state.
Is Ready TO Lead.
Gov. Glynn then announced his own
leadership by saying:
When the democrats Of New York
at the recent primary commissioned
me to represent them in the cam
paign for the continuation Of the dem
ocratic policies in the state they i'm
posed upon their candidate the re-
SpOnsibility of state leadership. By
their votes at the primary the indi-
vidual democrats of New York have
signified their willingness TO follow
me. 1 want to say that L take these
dem mocrats at their word. If the lead
ership is to come TO me, then, ii must
come without any reservation. l take
the leadership of the state with the
knowledge and l trust with the ap-
proval of every democrat. When L
am ready to abdicate 1 promise that
every democrat in the state shall pub
licly know the fact

HOMEMADE TRIMMINGS FOR THE
CHRISTMAS TREE. &

It is lots Of fun trimming the Christ
mas tree with homemade ornaments,
much more fun than with the kind you
buy in stores, and planning and max
ing tree ornaments that will be both
novel and attractive provides interest
ing work for several days.
In the illustrations below are shown
several clever forms of ornaments
that are easily made. The tip Of the
tree, should be crowned with a single
ornament, and a double fve-pointed
star made after the fashion of that
shown in Fig. l is most appropriate
The double star is prepared in two
pieces cut from a cardboard box Gigs.
2 and 81. Mark them out alike with
ruler and pencil, making the distance
between opposite points 5 inches. Cut
them with a knife or scissors.
Each star must be slashed so one
will fit over the other. Slash one as
shown in Fig. 2, from point A down to
B, which Is one-half Of the distance
from A to C; and slash the other as
shown in Fig. 8, from c up to B. You
will see that by now crossing the pail
of stars, and slipping the slash made
in each over the uncut portion of the
other, the star ornament will be put
together to look like the n in Fig. 1
The cardboard must be covered witt
tinfoil to make it nice and shiny, but
before putting this covering on, cut
two slender sticks for a support, faster

MistJetoe Hunters,

Gerry, in Brittany, annually becomes
a center of attraction for mistletoe
pickers, and the poplars that line the
hillsides around about the village
show an abundance of the precious
evergreen, the sight of which would
fill the heart Of many a Norman mis-
tlet~e gatherer with envy.
Here, however, the trees are lofty
and by no means so easy to despoil of
their white berried parasite as the
apple trees in northern France, which
yield most of the harvest destined to
find its way to the British market.
Nevertheless ~clambering up into the
tree tops sixty or seventy feet from
the ground is not so difficult a task as
it may appear to those who are un,
initiated into the modus operandi of
the mistletoe hunters.
With. the aid Of peculiarly shaped
iron critics attached to their feet, en-.
abIing them to get a firm grip Of the
trunk or stem which they wish to as.
cend, the skilled climbers make their
way from branch to branch with mon.
keylike agility, and in a few minutes
the tree is stripped OF it's mistletoe
crop,

COMING Into Line.

Two smartly dressed young men
we're discussing the present economic
situation when a third whose holiday
suit, struggling hair and grimy hands
betokened a holiday at some distance
from a hairdresser's and a hasty jour
ney home. g.
WELL" observed number one, "the
pater says it's not only sensible but
it's patriotic to economic just now,
so he and 1 have given up the two BIS
and the mater the two IT'S" ST. .

explained that the initial letters indi-
Gated respectively beer and baccy"
and "tea and toast"
Since you put it in that way" said
number two, I've dropped the two
'C's'-coffee and cigarettes"
The third man, evidently feeling out
of it, began to explain that he had only
just got back from the North Of Scot
land and hadn't really had time, you
know, to think 1t out, but of course
he'd have to- come into line, etc.
Don't worry, old chap" i~nterposed
number one. "You go on just as you
are and everybodyu know that you're
economizing on the two 'S's.'-scissors
