FIREMEN ARE ASKING
 FOR PAY INCREASE
Will Call For Increase in Appropria
 tion if Granted.

In their annual report to the com mon council on Monday evening, the board of fire commissioners, G. B. Dol beare. Edward Crooks, and Earl Ma thewson reported in part as follows:
 Owing to the high cost of everything needed for the maintenance of the de- partment your committee are of the opinion that the same appropriation as last year should be requested provided the salaries remain as at present. If an increase in the salaries and pay rolls is made as per petition received from the members of the department an ad- ditional appropriation will have to be made to meet the additional increase.
 The city has been free from large and serious fires which shows that the city has a, very efficient fire departA ment. The number of fires, losses, etc; and a report on the general condition of the department is made annually in the month of July, by the chief of the department.
 Your committee recommends that an additional appropriation be placed in the estimates by the finance com | mittee to purchase suitable apparatus for the Greeneville and Thamesville districts as these manufacturing sec tions of the city are not adequately | protected.
 l We also recommend that as soon As possible all horse drawn apparatus be
 displaced by motor apparatus. The pc. | tition of the members of the depart
 ment for an increase of pay should re- 1 ceive attention as salaries in fire de- | partmentS throughout the country have 1 been very materially increased to rneet
 the increasing cost of living.

DAVIS THEATRE
Feature Motion Pictures.

The first of the new Olga Petrova pictures, as seen at the Davis Theatre this week, introduces the star in a war role. Playing the part of an American diplomats daughter, she frees herself of a German husband, and the way is paved for her wedding to the Prince of a mythical kingdom.
 The other feature was an Ince pro- duction, featuring Charles Ray.
 They say that esery family has it's hidden skeleton-its something that is never spoken of save with bated breath "a sort of bete noir-but in Charles Rays family-that is, in his picture '"The Family Skeleton"-this Bete noir is only imaginary. The queer part of it all is that the hero-whose particu- lar skeleton is that he fancies himself an incurable drunkard-suffers far more than if his trouble had been real How he is cured by his sweetheart played by Sylvia Bremen, is interest ingly shown. Other players on the cast are Andrew Arbuckle Billy FL mer, Otto Hoffman and Jack Dyer.

INTERPRETIVE DANCES
 ON MUSICAL PROGRAMME
Norwich Musical Association Ends Season-Big Audience at Slater Hall

The Norwich Musical Association held it's last meeting for the season at Slater Hall on Monday evening. A large and appreciative audience thor oughly enjoyed the interesting pro- gramme which consisted of singing by the Woman's Chorus and interpretive dances given by Miss Suzanne Gallau- det. formerly of Norwich.
 Following the sHymn to Music, which, as usual. opened the evenings programme, the Womans Chorus gave The Sirens, song of the sea, with much expression and sweetness. The accompaniment, particularly har- monious and rippling, with an insis- tent reiterating union melody. was sympathetically played by Miss H Louise Fuller at the piano, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Lane, violin. Wil- liam A. Kicker, violincello. and Ben jamin H. Palmer, IT,, flute.
 Miss Gallaudet then delighted the audience with trio of dances, Moods, Whims- Schuman, Aurore Rondnio -Kreisler, and Zephyr, Lieb- esfrena -Kreisler, endowing all three with sprightly charm and individual ity.
 After witnessing with a finished performance as hers. one realizes the kinship between the twin arts of mu' sic and dancing. Miss Gallaudet if the very embodiment of youth and ex- treme gracefulness. and her grand tai | ent as an interpretive dancer is very marked. She is a pupil of Florence | Fleming Moves, of New York, who i: l considered one of the foremost teach

 In making this increase, your Com missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that, because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of | gas, it is impossible to sell the prod uct at the present price.
 It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant, the price will be reduced.

Dying CorpSes. Everything here is done an the double. The R. F. c. is supposed to be the elite of the English army service and consequently all of ficers and non-coms are from, across the pond. You might tell Jim Bolton that the only Irishman we have is a corporal who has no bad habits out side of being the worst blasphemer, the worst man-killer, and next to the worst crap-shooter in the camp. You might ask Jim how he would like to march 160 steps to the minute. That Is our regular step and believe me after my first five hours of drill l didn't know whether I had pair of legs or a couple of tree trunks with a pair of mud scows fastened to the end. The> cadets have to take turns in doing all the work around this 19,- 900 acre camp. and have become fairly proficient in carrying tons of l ashes, shoVeling more tons of coal, spearirg scrap papers, shovei%lg snow, | washing few thousand dishes, scrubbing floors, cleaning stables and a few minor duties such as guard duty, police, fire picket duty. But taking everything into consideration this life certainly builds a fellow up. I have 1 gained quite few pounds in weight | | we run around out of doors here bare headee' and in, our shirt and it is five below zero today.
 1 l am studying now, wireless teleg-
 raphy, map reading, stationary and
 rotary engines, aerial gunnery and the 1 scientific way to get a Boche air
 man before he gets you. From what l
 can figure out from the work and lec- lures we receive, by the end of next 1 fall practically. two thirds of us are
 expected to have an R. I. P. sign over l them in France, but a more happy l olucky bunch never existed. Most of my bunch are fellows who have left homes of leisure in Canada or the
 states or left good business to come up here for a dollar per. But we have a dandy bunch of musicians, a dandy quartette (singers), a few monolog. ists. and comedians, and other freal entertainers besides the champion mid dleweight and light weight boxers il
 camp. So all told it would take mort
 than a few English non-c corns to breal
 our spirits.
 We are called squad commander
 and have one stripe. This is th'
 highest we can get before we get ou
 commissions. We are not only taugh flying corps work but have to knov
 about every branch of the service. Il fact our c. o. states that a secon,
