The THIRD HEAVY HOLDS
GALA MESS HALL
AFFAIR
Liberty Theater Stars Present
AS Guests Add to Occasion.
Captain Concludes Dinner
With Neat Speech.


At noon of Sunday June sOth. the 3
Fl. NJ, 0, R. S. had blowout-pot a
blow up-at mess. The Sunday mess was
made gala occasion and many and
varied were the attractions presented for
the joy and edification of the boys. Some
one said 1 think it was Top Sergeant
Crory, that the dinner was given in honor
of the first Sunday off guard, the winning
of two ball games, and of the fact that
the Third Heavy is now the (Home
Guard) For what ever reasons may
have prompted the affair, needless to say
1t was a swell-elegant one.
Right off the bat we will state that
the Cooks did themselves proud The
service and style was par-excelIent
and / might as well state that it must
be some occasion when those two worth
les extend theselves.
The meal was jim dandy. Chicken
and all the fixins Apple pie and ice
cream--also lemonade wherein the taste
of lemon was quite prominent The
helpings were generous and not one could
truthfully say that he lacked big meal
During the meal sweet strains of music
was dispensed by the Thirds Own Jazz
Band. And say, boy, that's some Band.
Crory offciated at the piano and under
his swirling leadership the boys played
until perspiration dimmed their eyes. Now
and anon the diners burst into loud and
ciamorous applause as the Rand would
swell forth into riotous music.
Granger recited several pieces. The
one entitled "The Boy from Flint max

Gibson sang. several baritone solos.
They were well received
And then, friends, in walked Brothers
Barnhard with several of the Artists from
the Liberty Theatre. Brothers BARNARD
tripped into the Mess Hal beaming-enuf

the funny part of 1t is Brother Supply
Sergeant BARNARD beat Brother Chief
Musician BARNARD to 1t. The former

remembered as singing 4 wont play II

BARNARD had to be content with the
rest of the outfit Needless to say. dear

gave Brother Bugler a look in. No not

sage to the Committee on Public

from the Frankfurter Zeitung of
December 8. The Frankfurter

saying:
"The German people desire in
no sense whatever that the oppor-
tunity presented by the favorable
situation on the east front should
be used for realizing on the west
front the vain dreams of the an.
nexationist fanatics of Pan-Ger-

soon as the ladies can obtain this
accommodation.
The plan is to set aside one
afternoon a week during which
time the hairdrcssing parlor is
closed to men. Here the ladies
can get their hair shampoed and
thoroughly dried. Then all kinds
Of tonics and perfumes propara-
tions. so dear to the heart of the

All commissioners were present

Some citizens have felt it would
be well to allow the townspeople
to keep hogs in the back lots dur
ing this winter. This matter had
bee presented to the con,mis-
slOnerS on two other occasions,
and again last night in concrete
form. After duly considering ng
the matter a resolution was passed
that in the opinion Of the com
| mlssloners the keeping Of hogs
within the town limits would be
detrimental to health and would
set back the plans for better san
! itation to which the commission
ers are pledged. =
The keeping Of chickens in the
town limits was brought up by
request in view of the large mum

was determined to place. Chick

Washington, Jan. 11.-Govern-

senate are determined to reduce
the income guarantees provided
for railroads under the federal
control legislation, with Director
General McAdoo in control.
The proposal is to pay lines
compensation based on the full
net railway operating income Of
the past three years would mean
about nine hundred and fifty mil
lion Of dollars annually.
Senator Cumins, ranking repub-
lican in the senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, believes
this too much by two hundred mil
lion dollars, and proposes a guar
antee to the railroads of the inter
est on their bonded debt nd di-
vided to their yearly average.
There appears an unwillingness
for the rate fixing power to be in
the hands Of the directorgeneral
and a proposal to insert a provi-
sion to leave the rate fixing power
in the hands Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission seems to
emanate from the same source.

REMINDS SOLDIERS OF HOME
tracks Americans to Bridge Where
 She Stands.

There Is little old bridge in Paris, in an Out-Of-the-way part of the city, that is being trOd by many Yankee feet these days.
 The Eiffel tower is about three fOurths of mile away, and the dis tance between the tower and the little bridge Is about as unattractive as you could find in Paris. Nor does the bridge-called the pOnt de G"enelle- seeing place.
 But that bridge supports in It's center a statue of the Goddess of Liberty, the same glorious lady who holds alOft her flame of righteousness in New York harbor. A great many Americans have learned on this bridge that the Goddess of Liberty was & gift from France to America. The description on the ped estal records this fact, and there fol- lows in French an exerpt from the let ter of acceptance of Vice President Morton.
 The figure is only about 15 feet tall, but the disparity in size as compared with the original permitted one imag- inative Tank to close his eyes half shut today and declare that the effect was of Steaming into New York har- Dor with the gigantic goddess looming up in the distance. And while he was looking up, enjoying this odd effect, several large gulps could be distin- guished as they passed down his throat.
