ASKS THAT LICENSE
.CHARGE Be CHANGED

Application was made to the board
Of CITY commissioners at the regular
meeting yesterday by what is known
as the Big Four Shows asking for a
"blanket license" which would per-
NIT this aggregation to show for an
indefinite period here. In other
words, the show management wants
the privilege of remaining here with
out having to pay the usual $75 a
week license, as is now required I'M
der the ordinances.
As such license charges are fixed
by ordinance, the commissioners did
not yesterday feel disposed to alter
the present arrangement, but will to-
day submit the matter to the city
attorney.

TOBACCO FUND

From the general talk, everybody
will attend the grand mask ball on
Wednesday night, Nov. 21st, at the
Armory Hall, for the benefit of the

lady wearing the prettiest costume
and a prize also for the novelty prize
dance.

a pretty box of stationery for the
novelty dance.
The dance has been advertised in

ton, and one day before the dance

s. Navy band.
A late car will be run over the Bay
Shore, leaving the city at 1915.

HARDENED ROAD
IS BEING SOUGHT

| Citizens residing in the eastern
part of the city yesterday filed with
the mayor a petition to have hard
ened that part of Eighteenth avenue
from Jackson to Gadsden streets.
This would benefit large number of
people residing near the west shore
of the bayou, and the commissioner
of streets is anxious to heed the re-
quest, but at present no available
funds for street work are to be had,
and the petition was filed. The re-
quest will be complied with, it is an
nounced, at the earliest practical
date.

Beauty.

There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far from
the truth. Beauty is founded on good
health without that there is no real
beauty. You can cover up a muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it woll not be beautiful. A
homely woman in good health is usu-
ally more interesting and more charm
ing than bilious dyspeptic beauty.
Constipation and a sluggish liver inn
pair good looks. If you are troubled
in this way take Chamberlain's Tab
lets and you will soon be looking bet
ter and feeling better.-Adv.

wanted-A candidate who will ac-
cept the nomination for first select
man on the democratic ticket. This
Is the perplexing situation that Is
confronting the local democrats. At
the democratic caucus held Friday
evening, Lewis A. Westcott OF East
Berlin was unanimously nominated
for the office. AS Mr.. Westcott was
not present at the caucus and his
name was placed on the ticket with
out his consent 1t was not known at
the time whether he would accept
the honor. This morning Mr.. West
colt, when asked If he would oppose
Judge Willard I. Alling. the repub-
lean choice, at the polls, replied that
he would not allow his name to head
the ticket. He stated that because
. Of the stress Of business he could not
i devote the necessary time that the
4 office would require.
It was suggested that, should Mr..
westcott refuse to run for first select
man, the next position Of second Sc
ectman would be offered to him, and
Instead place John T. Molumphy' s
name on the ballots for first honors.
It was believed that this would make
an attractive ticket for the voters.

said that under no circumstances
would he be candidate for any Of

closing tho discussion.
It Is the belief of local democrats
that Mr.. westcott could give Judge
Alling a close race If he accepted the
nomination. He Is one Of Berlin's
most successful farmers and has
gained a reputation, not only in this
town but in surrounding cities. OF be-
Ing a good businessman. 1t was re-
ported in democratic circles this
morning that Mr.. Westcott's refusal
10 run will not be taken as final. II
Is said that a committee of prominent
democrats, headed by the chairman
of the democratic town committee
John A. Moore, will call upon Mr.

comprising ten battalions and COM

! who will go to France and get out OF
| the forests materials for the use OF
the American, French, and British
armies, has been authorized by the
war department, it was announced to-

at once with the active aid of the Forest
Service, of the department of agricul-
ture. 1t is expected that the remain
|, Ing eight battalions will be called for
in short time. Nine Service" bat
tal1ons made up of laborers who will
be used in connection with the Forest
regiment, have also been authorized
and two battalions have been ordered
raised at once
In order to provide for future con-
tingencies it has been decided to COM
mission at the present time enough
officers for other battalions yet to be
raised. Those men not needed now
will be placed on the reserve, and
will be called as the other units are
formed. According to the present
plan, fifty per cent. of the officers will
be sawmill and logging operators
twenty-five per cent. will be technical
foresters, and twenty-five per cent
will be men with military training. A

gineer camps have been selected for

First Regiment Being Trained.
A first regiment of woodsmen num-
bering about 1900 men and desig-
mated as the Tenth Engineers (For-
est) has already been recruited and
assembled and is now being trained
at the American University, D. C.
This regiment was raised at the re-
quest of the British government to
undertake the production in France
of crossties, bridge, trench and con-
struction timbers, mine props, lumber
and other forms of wood required in
connection with it's military opera
tions. The landing Of the American
expeditionary forces has made neces-
sary similar provision for their needs,
while the French military authorities
have Indicated that some of the work
incidental to their operations might
be taken over by woodsmen from this
country. Decision to raise the new
and much larger force has followed
a study of the field of possible USE
fulness to the Allied cause, made by
American foresters attached to Gen
eral Pershing's staff
Each of the ten battalions of the
second regiment will comprise three |
companies of $50 men each and will
be under the command of its own ma
jor.
The regiment will be made up of
volunteers. Applicants must be white
and between the ages of IS and 40.
Skilled lum berjacks, portable mill |
operators, tie cutters, logging team i
sters, camp cooks, millwrights and
charcoal burners are among the !
classes of men desired.
