who quickly responded and came TO
the chapter workrooms to. help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age. each eager to lend
Il hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making OF
The bags counted those completed and
announced that if every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening, Two aestfallen
little girls, the little sisters, were wait.
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.

WATER PRESSURE GOOD IN BUS
 NESS SECTION

A test of the water pressure in the business section was made last Friday afternoon with good results. Three streams were put on from the hydrant near Bonneville's store and three more at the hydrant on Front street. With these six streams in operation a pressure of so pounds was maintain ed. After an hour the pressure was reduced to 50 pounds and the water in the tank was lowered but five feet.
 The test was made under the di- rection of the mayor, water commis- sioners and Chief Boursier. Chief Boursier said that he considered the test most favorable and that at all times there were streams sufficient to throw water over any block in Put nam.
 Alderman Joseph Lapalme and Com- missioner G. Harold Gilpatric were given a try-out as nozzle men, but at last reports they had not been signed up as regular members of the depart ment.
