BANKS OF FLOWERS
WILL ENCOMPASS
ALDERMEN TONIGHT
Three Democrats Will Be
Given Scant Considera-
ton This Year

Tonight begins the alderman:c year.
There are only three Democrats to be
seated as aldermen when the COM
mon council organizes at city hall.
The Democratic aldermen are not
slated for places on any of the i'm
portant committees.
The Democratic ALDERMEN are all
young men and their races are new in
the council. They are: John J. Ford,
Second district; Joseph P. Onkey,
Fourth district; and John J. Clancy,
Sixth district. They will have seats
together in the rear row on the left
hand side of the president. They
plan to scrutinize carefully all meas
ures introduced by the Republicans,
especially those which have to do
with paving, lights, sewers, etc. All
three have gained more or less knowl-
edge of parliamentary law in the
lodges and clubs in which they hold
membership and they already have
made themselves familiar with the
rules governing common council pro-.
cedure. J.
Two Republicans who will sit in the
council for the first time this even
ing will be Edward T. Hamilton, re-
presenting the Seventh district and
Henry J. Kampf, the Twelfth district.
William J. Moran, dean of the
Democrats who represented the Sixth
district for eight years in the council
has retired. He would not seek an
other nomination this fall. His face
and voice, as we'll as his counsel will
be missed by the Democrats who are
accustomed to attend the meetings as
spectators.
The other Democrats who retired
are: William P. Corr, who represented
the Second district one term; Frank
J. Clancy, Fourth district, two terms;
John F. Toole, Seventh district, one
term; Daniel P. Harrigan, Eighth dis
trict, one term. They declined re-
nomination.
OF the Republicans Malcolm Mac
Fayden, of, the First district will be-
gin his fourth term; William E. Prim-
rose, Of the Ninth district who has
served three terms, was elected to fill
the unexpired term of Andrew r.
Roswell, who resigned to become SUI
perintendent Of Hillside home, and is
council; Henry A. Lewis IF the Third
district, begins his second term;
Mauritz Olson Of the Fifth district
begins his third term; William R.
Kearns, Tenth district begins his third
term, and Hiram S. Winterburn of the
Eleventh district begins his second
term.
Mayor Wilson will present mes
sage to the council this evening and
will also announce the standing COM
mittees for the coming year. It Is ex-
pected the session will be brief one,
except for the presentation Of flowers
and gifts and speeches of thanks and
acknowledgment as per custom.
Seats for the families of the alder
men will be provided inside the rail-
ing. Aldermen Blakes!ee, Lewis and
Cole will be the ushers.

WHOLE TON OF MEAT
FALLS INTO STREET.
MANY ARE TEMPTED

A ton of meat, which included salt
pork, whole lambs, side Of beef, eggs
and other products, aboard one of the
Cudahy Packing Co.'s teams. was
strewn about East Main street, near
Stratford avenue, the distance of a
block this morning, as result of one
of the rear wheels collapsing.
The horses frightened by the crash
ran a block before they could be
brought to a standstill, the meat con-
tinuously falling into the street dur
ing their progress. AS far as could
be learned no one appropriated any
Of the CHOICE cuts although many were
tempted, in view of prevailing high
prices Of foodstuffs.

horns are being put to this unique use.
 '"The listening posts" says MT. Fay, "are located in front of the French lines, some times within a few feet of the lines of the enemy. The men who volunteer for service at these posts are among the bravest in the French army, for it means almost cer- tain death. They must also have ex- tremely acute hearing, in order to detect indications of a gas attack.
 When these indications are heard a button is pressed, which sounds the Klaxon horns and thus gives warning of the attack to the trenches behind. enabling them to put on their gas masks and prepare"
 In many other interesting ways are KlaXon horns contributing to the great conflict. On the ships of the French navy they are used to signal gunners.
 Vehicles of the American Am balances are equipped with them, and they are used in large numbers on mo- tor cycles of dispatch riders.
 They are the same KlaXons which in Canada and the United States are used so extensively on automobiles, and whose warning note is so familiar to every motorist and pedestrian.
