TOWN CHARACTERS ON SCREEN,

Managers of the movie shows have
some new scheme continually to keep

photographer who strolls about the ci-
ty swapping views OF people which pic

that many have been photographed un-

most authentic war news. six months

ments with the Boston Record we are

daily paper ever offered. The Record

night in the heart of the war district.
Wherefore, the news of daylight-the

morning papers. So the lead of the
evening paper is very marked in this
war-probably the greatest the world
has ever seen. You ought to keep

uncommon practice in the Church Of

Westmorland include elaborate direc-
lions for the division Of the sexes at

be placed first before any Of the young

connection with the fact that so many

named after Elijah-or, at any rate,
after st. Elias-for some will have it
that the particular saint thus common.
grated is not the Old Testament
prophet, but a hermit Of the fourth
Christian century. It seems pretty
