The proposed highway would open

dressed an open letter to me, in which
you complained at my attitude rela-
tive to the League of Nations. The
original letter has not been received

1t appears from your letter that
the burden of your criticism is based
upon who voted for or against certain
reservations, and who voted for or
against the different resolutions OF
ratification that were before the Sen
ate for consideration. | judge that
if you had been a member of the Uni
ted States Senate this would have
been the standard by which you would
have been governed. AS for myself
however, desire for you to know that

or motive. My action in voting for OF

BARRELS WERE BURNED THOUGH AUTHoRlTlES FRoWNED

The traditional barrel burning took place at the Falls Thanksgiving night about 6:30 o'clock when two strings of barrels gathered from backwards and sheds in that section of the town, were touched off. Barrel burning is not quite as popular now as it was some ten years ago. Less than seven ty-fiye barrels were gathered together this year by the Falls gang" Time
 was when several hundred were strung on high poles on the sand
 bank" on Sherman street and the
 burning generally lasted well into the evening, but this year city au- thorities proclaimed that boys steal ing barrels would be severely punish ed if caught, so that the ancient Thanksgiving pastime has languished About 8 o'clock Thursday evening the Jail Hill gang touched off their several strings of barrels. and the glare could be seen from many parts of the city. On the West Side at about the same time several strings of bar rels hared up. and the reflection as seen from Laurel Hill gave the indica- tiotis that large sized fire was raging in that section of the town.
 There was also small string of
 barrels burned on 8 lot near the old City cemetery.
