COUNTY COURT
 HOUSE IS NOW FULLY COMPLETE
Balance of $12,0oo Left of Appropriation to Be Ex-
 pended on Acoustics.

Justice George W. Wheeler, who is at the head of the committee which had the building of the addition to the County Court House in it's charge, met with the other members of the committee and Commissioner John Brophy in the County Commissioners office this morning. The commits sioners authorized the committee to expend the balance of the building in improving the acoustics of the two court rooms in the new part of the building, putting in weather stripping and for painting and decorating.
 The balance that remains amounts to nearly $12,000. The matter of fix ing the acoustics of the rooms where the Common Pleas and the Superior Courts meet is rather a difficult mat ter and those in charge are rather at a loss to account for the trouble. These rooms are built almost exactly like the other court rooms in the other parts of the building, and in fact have a great deal more broken lines which are always supposed to provide nearly perfect acoustics -.-.#
 The Johns Manville Co. of New York has perfected a felt that is used for this purpose and this material, which is about a half an inch thick, is to be placed on the ceiling of one of the rooms to see if it will better conditions. Metal weather strips, which will serve the double purpose of keeping out the cold air and the noises in the streeet, will be placed on the windows. A cement drive has been made around the Court House with wide pace at the back where vehicles can turn around. Workmen were busy this morning erecting signs in front of the Court House which forbid any parking there. All the parking must be confined to the south side of the street.
 The money at the diposal of the committee amounted to about $275,- OOO Those who attended the meeting this morning were Justice Wheeler, Architect Warren R. Briggs, County Commissioner John Brophy, Attorney John c. Chamberlain, Judge John Walsh, and Samuel H. Wheeler.

ANNUAL ELECTION.

The local auxiliary OF the Red
Cross met at their rooms last night
in Schierelin Hall and held their an
lual meeting for the election Of Of
fcers for the ensuing, year The first
officer up for election was that Of
chairman. and in view Of the fact that
Mrs. Douglas Gray. the present chair
nan has made such an excellent Of
foer. was in such high standing with
he organization and lad unstinting-
ly devoted herself to the cause. the
members of the auxiliary desired to
show their appreciation of Mrs
Gray's efforts so that they renamed
her by reclamation. The good work
having been set by the first act OF the
meeting. then followed in a like rlan-
ner the election OF aIrs. Keith Pres
ton as vice chairman. Mrs. Bert Ma
sia. secretary. and X. Coplen, treas
urer. with the officers composing the
new executive committee. There was
large attendance and neither con
fusion nor ballot box stufting occurred
to ruffle the waters. A large attend
ance was out and among the crowd
was noticed several "old time parli-
mentarians" who seemed TO enjoy the
meeting very much. Tombstone has
every right TO feel PROUD of its Red
Cross auxiliary and II will be still
more proud as the war progresses.
The organization Is now comfort
ably situated in its new quarters and
work is progressing satisfactorily.
There will be no more work until
further notice, owing to the fact that
there is again some delay fin getting
supplies.S

New Men Il Years Old
Since June 1917 Register

The local war headquarters were
again crowded yesterday by new men
of Hand county called to register for
wal service, under government orders
calling for boys who had reached the
age of 81 during the past year. Their
names, address, place of birth, occu-
patton, and fathers birthplace were
recorded. They were given numbered
cards and must answer for examina-
ton when ordered. When called in
due time they will go into Upcle Sans
great army and fight for the cause of
liberty for the human race.
The boys were cheerful, orderly,
intelligent Americans, ready-even
eager-to step into mans place OF
duty at their country's call, illustrat-
ing the remarkable change that has
occurred since the first hesitant and
rather regretful young men answer
ed their governments demands.
Up to the time of going to press
some eighty boys had reported for
registry. The number in Hand coun-
ty may reach close to 100.
