preaching Marriage.

wINsrEp. Conn. Oct. 1i.-President
Wilson was congratulated upon his be-
trothai and was enrolled as an honorary
member at the fourth annual dinner Of
the Bald Headed Club OF America, held
in odd Fellows Hall here tonight. Two
hundred hairless pates from all parts
Of New England. New York and New
Jersey attended the event. The club
elected Congressman p. Davis Oakley Of
Hartford president for the ensuing
year.
The club adopted a resolution con-
graduating President Wilson on his en-
gagemcnt 10 marry and putting him at
the head Of the waiting list for honorary
membership.
Ex-President Taft in a letter to John
Rodemeyer OF Canaan. founder OF the
club, said:
Il am an honorary member OF that
club, | observe, and as | understand IL
an honorary member is one who may be
given the honor OF association with the

you, because | deny that ! could pass
any examination which membership In
your club would necessarily involve.
Il observe that some hair tones are
advertised with the candid statement,
for the purpose OF encouraging belief
in the other claims. that they will not
cure shiny bald heads l should think
that that feature OF shininess was es-
sential to a good and regular standing

The cutting Of city salaries was
stopped abruptly yesterday when the
Armory Boar came under scrutiny OF
the budget subcommittee OF the Board
OF Estimate and President McAnery Of
the Aldermen and Borough Presidents

$4,000 to $3.50. Clerk Joseph +. Nc

The subcommittee has been indorsins
most OF the recommendations O: the
standardizing bureaus. But yesterday
II was overruled by Messrs. McAneny,
Pounds and Mathewson. who are OPP
poeed to any general wage cutting. Thus
the Armory Board salaries stay az the
old figures. except that OF Mr., Teller
and his reduction is 20 S2,s5o.
When Mayor Mitchell was asked YES
,erday how serious was the division Of
the Estimate Board on Standardization
he admitted that the board would re-
