DR.. Hart at Blunt received the sur

when he informed his patient no more
treatments would be required Mr.. Carl

A mystery has developed up at
Watertown as the result of a marriage
license and a wedding that "was-to-be."
II cnnn,c thof Hannah pncnhlyn onI
Dan Smith, both giving their address,
as Butler, resolved to get "spliced" in
face of the protests of relatives. They
first drove to Clark but the clerk of
courts was out hunting and there was
no one to issue the license. Undaunt-
ed the couple went to Watertown and
there secured a license. They then in
quired for a minister and Clerk or
Courts Horswill phoned to one of the
reverend gentlemen in the city to re-
main at home for a few moments as a
young couple would soon call to have
a marriage ceremony performed. The
minister waited-four hours-and moth
in dom. And that is as far as the
clues to their whereabouts go. Before
issuing the license MI. Horswill was
asked by the girls mother who asked
that the license be denied, that she
~strenuously objected, but as the bride
was 10 and the groom q Mr.. Horswill
could see no reason for refusing the ap-
plication.

Pan American Financial Congress
Talks About Shipping and
Railroad Facilities.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-That the
western hemisphere's commercial in.
dependence and the United States.
pre-eminence in Latin-American trade
are impossible until adequate shipping
and railroad facilities are provided
obviously was the uppermost feeling
in the minds of the delegates who took
up consideration today of the trans
portation problems before the Pan
American financial congress.
The special transportation commit
tees preliminary discussion was de-
voted largely to a general survey of
means Of communication not only be-
tween the United States and South
Central America but also between the
southern countries themselves. Con-
crete recommendations are expected
Friday.
No open, general session of the
congress was held today. The COM
mittee meetings were executive.
Some sharp differences of opinion
developed, principally on the ques-
ton of government ownership and
government aid to shipping lines and
railroads. Strong opposition to the
ship-purchase plan developed today.
Commercial and mail ship subsidies
we're proposed.

It's Easy to Peel off
All Your FreckLes

The contrast between the freckles
and the clear skin usually is so great
that no bleach can be more than par
TALLY successful in obliterating the
disfgurements. Ordinary mercolized
wax is far better: it literally peels off
the freckles. Get an ounce of it at
the nearest drugstore and tonig 1t
spread On enough to completely cover
your face; remove in the morning
with warm water. Repeat daily until
every freckle has disappeared.
Rough. blotchy, pimpled skin. also
common at this season, may be en-
tirely gotten rid of by this same
method, without discomfort or incon-
venience. The effort is decidedly
worth while, the new complexion OBJ
tanned being so clear, smooth and
youthful.
If bothered with wrinkles. battle the
face in lotion made by dissoiving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half
pint of witch hazel. This is the most
effective and understanding wrinkle
treatment known.

been said tonight about that truck.
the most important point to my mind
is that we might save on one fire
more than the cost Of the truck. We
have had good luck in some of our
fires recently where, had circum-
stances been slightly altered, the
damage might have been very many
times greater. I believe some of you
here do not realize that there is
never fire occurs where property
is destroyed, put what there is an
absolute loss. If the building is In
sured for all it is worth the proper
ty owner may be reimbursed b.:
the money is lost, and the wealth
has gone out of the community just
the same I think about ninety per
cent of the time here, the roads are
dry. About seventy per cent of our
streets are macadamized During a.
large portion of the time. an automo-
bile truck can go anywhere in the
city. With the truck, the fire can
be reached in much less time. Get
ting to the fire in time is the para
mount question:
NJ. F. Baker stated that he thought
the extra money involved in the pur
chase of the pressure pump was we'll
worth while.
Leaves it to Commissioners
J. B. We'll said he believed the
pump well worth the money. He
said he also believed the streets
should be put in better shape. 81 am
willing to leave the matter in the
hands of Mr.. Collins and Mr.. ,Ander-
son." he said. They have been
away and made an investigation and
know what is best. While this truck
costs more money, believe it will
be saved in future fires. I want to
go on record as favoring it,
NJ. E. Justice said that he believed
with Mr.. Rovane that it was BUSH
ness proposition, but that he favored
the purchase of a truck. The houses
in the outlying districts need protec-
ton they do not now receive. he
said. 81 believe the pump is a good
thing" he said, Il do not want you
to get a machine unless you get one
with pump. I understand the city
does not have to make any addition
al levy to pay for the truck and it
will increase the value Of our prop
erty." .-r.
Several others spoke briefly, all
favoring the purchase OF truck and
urging the very best apparatus only,
be purchased
Mr.. Collins stated at the close Of
the meeting that the contract with
the company selling the machine
would probably be closed up today.
and that it will be brought here as
soon as possible.
