pa most unusual COLLECTION Of war sou
venirs, brought home from the front BY
Louis Aubin, who is passing furlough
in this city, is on exhibition in the win
dow of the Augusta Furniture Co. store.
The article which tells the most thrill
ing story is metal shaving stick case
which was shattered by bullet but
which was perhaps the means of saving
Aubin's life
Several pieces of shrapnel are shown
and among them is that which LODGED
in Aubin's neck. There are samp.es OF
the bullets used by the French Belgian
and English soldiers. and by the Ger
mans. There is fragment from the
fpres cathedral, German machine stn
belt, Hun hand grenade, one of Fritz !
water bottles and a German shell-nose
cap. A souvenir OF Nimy Ridge is !,
piece of German paper money represent
ing value of two marks.
Very interesting is a photo post card
which Aubin took from the pocket of a
dead German. The card is covered with
writing and bears the likeness of a
young man in the German military uni
form and an expression on his face
which would indicate that he for one
was dubious Of Hindenburg's prospects

HIGHER PRICE
ELECTRICITY
IN BAY STATE

Boston. April 1-Consumers of cleo
tricity here may have to pay an in
creased price because of tie institu-
ton Of the daylight saving plan,
President Charles L. Edgar of the
Edison Illuminating Co.. told the
state board Of gas and electric light
commissioners today. His statement
was made at Il hearing relative to
the reduction in the price of electric
ity in this city
In theory" Mr. Edgar said. "the
increase would be put upon the do
nestle user for the rca son that to a
large degree the losses to the com
pany will come from this source
President Edgar expressed the
opinion that a maximum of success
would attend the daylight saving
movement if the present standard
time is kept in effect during the en-
tire l. months, instead Of setting the
clock back again next October.

Not much change was noticed yester-
day along the water front except that
during Sunday night the ice moved some
distance down river from the steam mill
wharf and had lodged about opposite the
Mile Rock, SO called. where it still re-
NAMED Yesterday at nightfall. The wa
ter in the river showed some signs Of }
rise yesterday, and last night was up to
the cap tmbers on some Of the wharves,
the rise being due to the melting snow
OF the past two days. A number Of open
places appeared yesterday afternoon in
the ice below Britt's Gully. and it WIS
the opinion of some OF the rivermen that
with the rise of water and the strong
current that is in evidence day or two
like yesterday would set the Ice moving
'all long the line.

motion to reconsider the vote was
passed by on consent Of the patrons
through courtesy to Senator Holt, who
WAS an director TO tho consideration
Of the bill. Senator Mapp objected. but
later withdrew his objection in the
absence of Senator Holt. when tho bill
passed. After discussion OF the qucs-
ton by Senator's Holt, Early. Cannon,
Gum, Mapp and Walker the patrons.
Senators EARLY and Gum requested Tic
Senate to pass by, It being understood
that at the session the one objector
rule applied
Another interesting question arose
over Senator Strode's motion to change
the rule of order and take up for en-
groSsment to be fought on it's merits
to-day what is known MS the school
textbook bill. proposing In the manner
prescribed to furnish schoolbooks to
pupils. Senator Keith, the objector who
prevented the bill from going TO it's
third reading. opposed the motion to
change the rule. Senator STROBE argued
briefly that ii was a very Important
BILL and last night was the last chance
to save it. while Senator Keith argued
that 1t was unfair to attempt to avoid
the rule and advance the bill over the
head OF the objector. The Senate
changed the rules by 4 close vote, and
Immediately Senator Cannon moved to
adjourn. which the Senate did. leaving
the bill unbalanced and almost certain
to die OH tho calendar.
