by members of the council when the report of Sealer of Weights and Meas ures Carlson was presented, owing to the fact that while he reported that certain dealers had been found selling short weight on butter and sugar no names were given. Councilman Lan- ders said he could see no reason for publishing the names of milk dealers found erring by the milk inspector and covering up dealers who sell short weight on butter and sugar. The report of the test of the scales Of local dealers was given the names of the dealers being used.

That the common council resented the recent action of the school board in seeking to overcome it's school re- pairing problems by utilizing money in it's building fund without recourse pr report to the city's chief leg1sla- live body became apparent at the Oc- tober meeting last night when the hoard of finance and taxation pre- santed its report together with reso- Iutions calling for the appropriation of s185,0OO for new schools.
 Councilman Curtis was first to raise objection, urging that the report Of the board of finance and taxation was ro+ snecific enough. He wanted it clearly understood that the money to he appropriated should go towards The construction of the new Burritt school and the addition to the Os- good Hill school. He objected to The school board seeking money for leeway purposes and then lay1ng It aside to divert to the repair of build tngs. such as the wall of the Prevo- cational Grammar school In this he was backed By Alderman Paonessa, who stated ti-rr2 the school board when it discovered that 1t was 1n trouble should have made some re- nort of the matter to the council 1T if were only out of courtesy But Instead. he said, they went ahead not Knowing really what they were up against or what the job was going to cost.
 Corporation Counsel Cooper in re- nIv to this criticism maintained that

 Der of Commerce Stealing Citys Thunder

the form of the resolution accorded with the wording of the charter say ing that the resolution provides for a bond issue of $185,000 and if all the money is not needed the amount should be cut down. The charter specifies what should be. done with any balance left from @ building ap- propriation and he pleaded that the form of the resolution be adhered to, a otherwise objection might be raised by the bond lawyers who are often unnecessarily particular in their work.
 Councilman Landers inquired if the bond issue provided for repairs to buildings and was informed that this Is not allowable. Councilman Curtis said he understood the lawyers at the finance board meeting contended that the school board had the right to use the money as was done. For his part he was opposed to such methods as it is an encouragement to add as much as they please to any appropriation.
 Mayor a Bit Peppery.
 Mayor Quigley, who presided dur ing the early part of the session also showed a slight exhibition of temper when a petition was presented by the
 
 Commerce seeking a change in the ordinance relating to the parking of automobiles and requesting a recon sideration of the whole question. His Honor took the ground that the Chamber seeks credit for all the big doings in the city and the matter should not be too seriously considered in view of the fact that the board of public safety is already considering changes in the ordinance. Council man Curtis favored a hearing on the question as did Councilman Andrews. The petition was then referred to the l board of public safety.
 Rap at Comptroller.
 Apparently Comptroller H. L. Cur 1 tis went beyond his power when he reported to the council that he had | ordered payment of relief funds to | the families of the soldiers discon- tinued on the ground that they nc longer need it. The comptroller took the ground that the boys are now back and will receive their discharge l money by the end of the week, bu when this report was made Council ran Richards inquired why the mat. 1 ter had been taken out of the hands of the relief committee. On motion l of Councilman Landers the report 1 u-as received as one of progress anG ] was laid over for month.
 Movie Ordinance Goes Over. The "nlovie" ordinance, over whic! 1 there has been so much discussion
New Britain herald., 1916-10-19

was put over for another month at the suggestion of Councilman Curtis, who remarked that there were absent members who no doubt would like to be heard.
 May Has a Grievance.
 Councilman Charles May, who at the last session of the council got after City Engineer Hall over the curbing on Arch street, was again on the trail of the engineer and the board of public works last night. The matter in question was the Shut tie Meadow retaining wall. The board of public works recomme ended that the contract be awarded to the M. O. Baker company. MT. May said he was not as a rule opposed to i'm provements in his ward, but when it came to question of putting in a fve-foot base to the wall he was op- posed. He thought it pure extrav- l agance and wanted to know the rea- son. MT. Hall said the height of 1 the wall determined the thickness of the pase ana III this case five feet ! is necessary. He explained furth CT l that the wall Is needed to s71nport the sidewalk and road on the north side of the avenue from the ice house 1 to the dam. MT. May said an eieht 1 een-inch base was sufficient on the 1 east side of the culvert where if was private job. Councilman Curtis l concluded the argument by statino 1 that it appeared to be a case Of inc l opinion of an expert versus that of I a layman and he was inclined to fa l vor the expert. The report was 1 then accented
 l Another Rap at Public Works. 1 As a finality to the raps that the board of public works received Councilman James Iverson wanted tc l know why and for how long the | board of public works proposed tc | allow Elm street to be blocked witr building material at the Park stree end. Engineer Hall said he supposed l until the building there was com. l pleted. MT. Iverson severely crit cised the condition and urged the need of a board walk. Councilman Andrews said if there was to be { ] board walk he hoped it would be ar 1 improvement over the one on Mail street south of the Savings banl building. He considered this wall worse than none at all.
 Resolutions of Sympathy. ] The council by a rising vote passed resolutions of coincidence and sym pathy at the passing of Councilman l Eliot H. Porter. A letter of appre citation for the councils action at the death of Mr. Porter was received from his parents.
 CounciImen Resign.
 The council lost two members D!
 resignation last evening. One Wa Councilman David A. Wicander of thu
 fourth ward and the other Council man w J. Smith of the sixth. MT Smith sent a letter to the council ex | pressing his extreme regret at leav1ns and thanking the members for con
 sideration given him during his brie
 connection with the council.

NORTH DAKOTA REGIMENT
SHORT A THOUSAND MEN

According to Col. Arthur Johnson,
commandment of Fl. Smelling where all
North Dakota recruits will be sent in
the future, the First North Dakota In
fantry is short about 1000 to 1900
men.
The regiment was taken out Of the
state with only 900 men according to
Colonel Johnson and the stAte author
tiles have been urged to recruit the
organization up TO full strength.
There has been some talk in this state
about raising another regiment, but it
is indicated that this cannot be done
until the First North Dakota is
brought up to it's full strength. All
recruits will BE- taken to the regiment
now on tn: Mexican border.
In order that there may be economy
in recruiting, all Uorth Dakota re-
cruits will be sent to Fl. Smelling and
direct from there TO the regiment at
the border.
But North Dakota is not the only
state that i. short of men. Minnesota
still needs about 1900 men to bring
the regiments up to the maximum.
Recruits for these regiments will also
BE- sent to Fl. Smelling.

No Mans Lands.

There are throughout the world sew
eral parcels Of no mans land, delimit-
ed and guaranteed by treaties. One
of these curious strips of neutral terri
tory stretches across the isthmus that
connects the rock of Gibraltar with
Spain. It IS about half a mile wide.
and British sentries and the Spanish
sentries face M another by day and
by night, year in and year out, from
opposite sides. The territory in be
tween these two chains Of sentinels
belongs neither to Britain nor to Spain.
Another similar strip Of no mans
land exists in North America between
the United States and Mexico. Al,
though only sixty feet wide. it is roc
miles in length, extending from FL
Paso, in Texas, westward to the Pa
cific ocean
Altogether there are in the world
about fifty of these neutral zones, vary.
ing in width from a few yards to as
many miles, and the sum total of theil
would make quite Il respectable
minor state. All the rest of the land
surface of the globe is, nominally al
all events, in the possession Of some
power or the other,-Pearson's.

Call Him "Father"

Boys, when you speak of your father
don't call him "the old man." Of
course you are older now than when
you were taught to call him father.
You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much more manly look
ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has a modern shape, and your hair
is combed differently, in short, flyer
than you were then. Your father has
a last years coat, a ~two-year-old hat
and a vest Of still older pattern. He
can't write such an elegant note as you
can, and all that, but don't call him
"the old man." Call him father. For
years he has been rustling around to
get things together. He has been held
to the thorny path Of uphill industry,
and the brightest half Of life has gone
from him forever. But he loves you,
though he goes along without saying
much about it, therefore be not so IN
grateful. - Spokane Spokesman Re-
view.

Unreformed.

I wish more things were like the
English sparrow. How it thrives, al.
though every mans hand is against it!
But we must spray fruit and use q
serum on meat animals and doctor the
soil which produces the cereals. It al
ways pleases me to visit q patch Of
wild plums; they get along without
bothering any one. What a fight man
is compelled to make for the apple,
and what a free gift the wild plum is!
I once rode through the country in a
motorcar, and the road was lined with
wild crab apple trees. The crab apple
trees were in full bloom and very
beautiful, but no one had sprayed them
or trimmed them. They were a free
gift of nature. Are the English spar
rows, the wild plums and the wild
crap apples so healthy because they
have never been reformed?-Ed Howe

NEW RAILWAY SHOPS TO
Be BUILT At MANDAN

Information has leaked out from
seeming reliable sources, that the
Northern Pacific railway will soon
build a series of mammoth machine
shops at Mandan, the total cost Of
which is predicted to reach the huge
figure of $4,000, 900.
The N. p. system is now divided
into three parts, served by the shops
at Tacoma, Livingston and Brainerd.
A new district will now be formed
which will be served by the shops at
Mandan. This district will probably
be composed of the whole Yellow
stone and Dakota divisions. The
Missouri division will be created,
comprising the main line from Man.
dan to Dickinson, and the two branch
lines out of Mandan.
