N ell Be Over!

The Hartford Courant yesterday morning under a big display head ad- vertised "A Tame Fourth in Bristol. :" The inference was that anything short of 8 riot is tame in the Hartford point of view In that case the Capitol City people should attend a dem onstraton of a sane, sensible and lively celebra ton of our National natal day, and we hereby cordially invite them to come to Bristol on the Fourth. We will give them 8 hearty welcome and d; good time. and we do not believe they will care to call it tame"
 Truth is Bristol is making great preparations to give this city tho most unique, lively and enioya,ble celebration of the day that it ever had The program is not complete but enough has been done to assure 8 day of entertainment that will make it worth while to come here in pref erence to staying in Harford. Many people are at work on the prelimi- naries. The celebration will be varied enough to suit everybody-and it will be distinctly different from the cus toms of the past.
 Come and spend the Fourth with us!-Bristol Press.

WOMAN'S CLUE TO SELL.
Vote Being Taken But Is Expected
 to Favor Deal.

The Wonlans club, through q pos tai card vote, is obtaining the opin- ion of it's members on the adNisability of selling ita building lot on Russell street. purchased in 1916. As soon d the returns are received the club will announce the decision of it's mem bers, but it is expected that there will be little opposition to selling the prop erty.
 Originally the club adopted an ex- tensive program, which called for the ultimate erection of a Womans club building on Russell street Subse- Quent events, including the war and it's numerous calls, have made it ap- pear necessary to some to curtail all unnecessary expenses at this time and in view of these facts some members of the club think it best to treat their original purchase a S an invest ment and dispose of the property when 9 suitable price can be ob- tained.

THE DRAFT AGE.
now on.

Congress is considering proposal to extend the draft age to provide ample man power so that the Presi- dents program of an army unlimited in size may be carried out at once. Heretofore, Secretary Baker has opposed the idea, his contention being that sufficient men for present needs can be raised under the existing reg ulations. The reason for Mir. Baker s objection to a change in the draft age might prove injurious to vital in dustries. It is just as necessary, he declares, to keep such industries as the railroads and the steel industry at their highest efficiency as it is to mo- bilize an adequate army. Secretary Baker thinks the minimum age should be nineteen years. The maxi mum may be placed as high as 45.
 If the proposal meets with favor in Congress, and is made a law it will furnish us with the unlimited army which President Wilson favored. The fact that men who have opposed any proposal to extend the draft age are now advocating such a move, is proof that the lawmakers and officials of the nation are rapidly awakening to the neds of the hour. It is also fair ly good evidence that they intend to do as President Wilson suggests
 If as Provost Marshal General Crovder has indicated, it is not the idea, of army officials to call on men in classes other than one this year. unless it appears that they have been granted deferred classification erron- extend the draft age very soon. At the rate we are now sending troops to France Class i will not be able to supply the demand for men much million will be added to it's number through reclassificationa and the work or fight order.
 There is no reason why the age should not be extended, if it is gone about as judiciously as was the case with the original registra ton. There are any number of men over the pres ent draft age in this country today who are able and willing to fight They will respond readily if called. But we think the draft age should be from 19 to 35

PATRIOTIC PARADE
 CLOSES RED CROSS
 DRIVE AT GLENDALE

GLENDALE. May 2S.-The parade
 for the Red Cross drive. It was one big patriotic expression carried out in different artistic effective ways, the Red Cross being the inspiration. There were floats representing the Allies, the Japanese being especially beautiful, while the Belgium float was a picture of desolation. The French float rep resented Lafayette and Uncle sam standing together with the French and American flags. The English float was large tank" with cannon and all rigged up like the real thing. There was several Mexican floats, on one of them was the Mexican orchestra which played during the parade. The Ameri- can float was good while Over the Top was another good one. All of 25 floats and decorated carriages as well as the horseback division and those on foot, including the children, carried out the spirit of the occasion and very little money was spent in the prepara- tion. The town was ranSacked for long packed away things and they were cleverly worked in to duty. Mrs. Pear son requests every one to save all their decorations that they may be used again. Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Cox arranged the parade and wish to thank everyone who assis1sd sSen, reAiizing that without the cooperation of everyone 1t would nave been inpos- sible to achieve the splendid result. After the parade the floats were sta- toned about town. The American float which was filled with singers and musicians was stationed on the most farnroinenf nd Sr1nnioI n and songs delighted the crowd. From an auto beside this float Art Rick and Mir. Stone addressed the crowd and were deservingly cheered. Afterwards from the same car. Auctioneer McMur- try, who was at his best, auctioned the goods that had been donated to the Red Cross. The pig brought $500 by a clever arrangement of each man paying in what he bid. The other goods were sold to the highest bidder al good prices, one man bought foul thoroughbred collie pups at 50 cents each and donated them back. They were sold again and added more to the fund.
