 Begin Boosting Tax Rate.
 Councilman May introduced a resolution calling for an extra one quarter mill tax on the second zone to provide for the new south end nre station. He recommended that the money derived from the extra taxa ton be added to the $79,sS5 for the fire department.
 Councilman Curtis thought the resolution was irregular. but he said he did not believe that the safety board knows what an engine house and equipment would cost. He said he thought $15.000 would be near the figure. The third warden said tho proper procedure would be to amend the estimates and then introduce the taxation phase. A quarter mill tax would bring in between $11.500 and $12.0OO. City Treasurer Chamberlain said. Councilman May thought 4buildinx lot would cost $1,5o0 and the building would cost $S.000. He sug- rested placing the new flying squadron at the center and moving one or the other pieces of apparatus to the new station.
 Paonessa . 'sStand batter"
 Alderman Paonessa opposed the in- creasing Of the tax rate and said nc would TO on record as standing pat on the estimates as handed down by the board of finance. This was after Councilman May had moved for an appropriation of $11,500 to be added to the safety board estimates to pro- vide for the southend station. The motion was amended to include $16.- 900 for the. new station and on . yea and nay vote it was lost by 2 vote of P to 3. On vote for tke original $11, 500 appropriation for this fire sta ton 1t was passed by a vote of eight teen to 2. Safety Commissioner Bab- cock said he has figures of about $S.- 900 for the building and lot.
 The charity department estimates were passed as presented as were the health department estimates.
 1EcCabe Against New Park. Alderman McCabe moved to strike out an appropriation of $16,000 fol , the south end park in the special ap- propriations estimates. Councilman

moved that the petitioner be given leave to withdraw. Councilman Cur tis thought such a procedure would establish a precedent and tend to injure the discipline of the depart ment. ''If you start in to make ex- captions now we'll have to continue to do so," he said. Councilman An drews also objected to such a suspen- sion of the rules as the safety board asked, on the ground that 1t would jeopardize the discipline of the de- partment. Believing that the city may possibly be facing crisis, Coun- cilman McDonough said he would favor the suspension on this special occasion. Councilman Richards had the same opinion. Councilman Curtis withdrew his original motion and offered an amendment providing that the rules be suspended and any man who has served six months as a SUI pernumerary be eligible for appoint sment. Alderman Chamberlain said he was in favor of the suspension of the rules for the time being. Tho council finally voted the request As it was made by the safety board.
 The safety board also asked pern1is- sion to change the rule which pro- yides for only 100 supernumeraries so that an "anlimited number may be appointed. It was passed. 'I.et's give them the key to the city, Councilman Curtis said, with a touch of humorous sarcasm.
 McChbe Objects to Pavement.
 The estimates were then taken up. The school board estimate of $344.740 was accepted. Regarding the board of public works estimates, Anderman McCabe objected to the permanent pavement on Park street. He moved that the $24.0O0 be stricken out. AL derman Staddler insisted that the pavement is a necessity, as did Coun- cilman Spencer, who said Park street Is in rotten condition" Councilman Curtis rallied to the defense of the administration scheme, the finance board and the board of public works and agreed that Park street should be paved. Councilman May asked if any plans had been made to purchase an extension on Lake street and wna told that the improvement fund would care for 1t if 1t was decided to xtraiRhten the street. AndermAn McCabe's motion was lost and the council passed the appropriation of

EDITORIAL NOTE. - william Le-

the latter's revelations of the inner
life OF the imperial German court, has

After the supper party the host

Huntino at the Front.

AL game laws are in allegiance In
France, and, with that strange disre-
gard Of shell fire observable among
the wild life to be found on the west
ern front, pheasants, partridges, rab-
bits and hares have increased to an
extraordinary extent. No mans land
teens with game, while the marshes
beside a certain river (Which must be
nameless) are full Of wild duck and
snipe. There are no shotguns, and
service revolvers do not make good
shooting when fired at the flying birds,
so the snipe and wild ducks are stalked
in wary style and shot Sitting" The
sport OF sniping snipe in the marshes
is fraught with many dangers, and it
requires very ardent sportsman to
crawl through the reeds, amid the ever
lasting mud, in the hopes of pottins

tuberculosis is being vigorously
fought in Australia, for though the
percentage Of deaths from tuberculosis
in Australia is less than in most other
countries, the federal government ia

persons who are rendered physical
wrecks through the undermining infiu.
ences of diseases Of the respiratory
organs. A federal committee on the
causes Of death and invalidity In the
commonwealth is conducting an inves-
tigation Of tuberculosis and means of
combating it. The figures for 1914,
when there were 1874 deaths from tu-
berculosis, indicate that the disease is
most destructive in its effect between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty-f1ve
years, as far as both sexes are con-
cerned, but after this life period
deaths in male cases predominate.

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes
for Those Now Used, Because of
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
of tie more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption Of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought in this con-
nection. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others.
and a slight difference in price would
warrant a substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest sub
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. There is," says the
bureau, "a very wide field of research
here, which would undoubtedly repay

Key of Heaven in Our Hands.

If we dare to link our will with the
will of God however feebly, however
complainIngly, if we desire and en-
deavor not to sin against love, not to
nourish hate or strife, to hold out the
hand again and again to any message
of sympathy or trust, not to struggle
for our own profit, not to reject tender
ness, to believe in the good faith and
the good will of men, we are then in
the way. We may make mistakes, we
may fail thousand times, the key of
heaven is in our hands.-A. c. Benson.

They show this to be due to the

layers compared to those above them.
In other words, the water is found

this prevents an up-and-down circula-

agencies there is sometimes found to
