TALK OF THE TOWN

Last evening in the Worthen hall a
number of young people of this city met
for a social gathering, after which they
jokingly named their members the Piano
Movers. so-called, because OF an Incl.
dent which happened during the evening
in which James Peanut" Carroll was a
very conspicuous figure. The evening
was taken up with jolhty and merriment
together with a supper served by the
Young ladies present. James Carroll was
the master of ceremonies and there were
two mock marriages for the benefit Of
two couples present. Dancing to the
music of yictrola was enjoyed by all
after the various games and supper
were over. The affair proved so success
fui and everyone had such an enjoyable
evening that the committee in charge,
which consisted Of James Carroll, Hen
nv Drumgold and Charles Littel, are con-
templating another such affair.
Claude Druge, who enjoys the distinc-
tion OF being the first Barre man TO vol
unteer his services in the great war, Is
back in the city after an absence of
nearly five years. Twice reported dead,
Mr.. Druge, very much TO the contrary,
Il conspicuously alive. In fact he es
caped unscathed, although he saw four
wears of hard fighting in the French
army. II was back in the summer of
1914 that Mr.. Druge, then tailor with
a shop in the L. NJ. Ayerill building,
over The Times office, read the story of
German aggression. He heard the call
to arms and. fired with desire to have
a share in the salvation of France, the
land of his birth, he made up his mind
TO hurry back to the land of the tri-
color. As the papers said, he exchanged
his tailer's iron for a rifle, and he didn't
wait long at that Before the iirst of
September, following the invasion of
Belgium and northern France, he was on
his way overseas. Thereafter only
meagre reports of his whereabouts and
dongs were received. Once in the sec
ond year of the war and again in the
year before the struggle terminated re-
ports, always mconfirmed, had it that
he had made the final sacrifice. Mr..
Druge was with the colors constantly
and as one of the mconquerabe ''poilus"
he figured in some of the hardest fight
ing. As yet his plans are llncompleted,
but there is a possibility that he may
hang out his sign in Barre once more.

ALL GERMANS IN
STRIKE FERlHEN1
Movement Is Said to Be Political, the
Purpose Being to Overthrow the
Present Government.

Berlin, Tuesday, April Via Copen-
hagen) Almost all the labor forces of
Germany are either striking or threat
ening TO strike as a result of agitation
carried on by independent socialists and
Spartacides, who are succeeding in their
efforts to induce workers to make in
creasingly impossible demands They
have even partly persuaded mine guards,
on duty in the Rnhr district, to protect
the pits against the Spartacides, to pre-.
vent miners from descending.
The situation everywhere is considered
serious and it is said that the aim of the
Spartacides is purely political, having
as its object the overturning of the pres
ent government and the establishment
of bolshevism. Sanguinary engagements
have occurred at Kastrop in Westphalia,
according to the Tageblatt. A delegation
of miners, which was on its way TO the
office of the Kaistrop Anzeiger, clashed
with public security guards and several
were killed and wounded on both sides,
ii is said.

THOMPSON AGAIN
MAYOR OF CHICAGO
Elected by Plurality of 1850 Over Rob
ert M. Sweitzer. City Voted
''Wet" by Majority of
247,22s.

Chicago, April complete returns
to-day from yesterdays municipal cleo
tion showed that William Hale Thomp-
son Republican, was re elected mayor
for term of four years by plurality Of
l7600 over Robert NJ. Sweitzer, Demo
erat), his nearest competitor, and that
the city voted wet" by majority Of
247 .22S.
-Four other mayoralty candidates were
in the field Maclay Hoyne, tInde-
pendent Democrat); John Fitzpatrick,
(labor); John NJ Collins, tSocialistl /;
and Adolph s. Carm, Socialist labor,
The total vote for mayor was 6ss, ,36l out
of registration of 10000. At the
mayoralty election four years ago
Thompson defeated Sweitzer by more
than LAT 900 votes.
An analysis of the vote for mayor in
dicated that Hoyne, present states at
toney, drew heavily from the normal
Republican vote, which Fitzpatrick cut
into the Democratic vote. Following are
the figures for the six mayoralty can
didates
Thompson, PSI ,sss; Sweitzer, 240,2ss; /;
Hoyne, ll0,sos; Fitzpatrick 54,467 !,

for police interference

lower pan. Four double strips. which
taper to or 10 inches in width. are
sewed to the upper part of the cover.
These strips form wicks that dip over
into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make a re-
frigerator of convenient size for
household use and one with efficient
evaporating surface, but it is not nee
essary TO follow strictly these dimen-
sions. If larger capacity is desired
the height Of the refrigerator can be
increased
How 1t Operates.
Operation of the refrigerator shown
in the illustrations is as simple as it's
construction. The lowering of tenn
perature inside the refrigerator de.
pends upon the evaporation of water.
To change water from a liquid to a
vapor. or to bring about evaporation
requires heat. AS evaporation takes
place heat is taken from the inside of
the refrigerator, thereby lowering the
temperature of the inside and the con-
tents.
Keep the upper pan filed with
water. The water is drawn by capil-
larry attraction through the wicl1s and
saturates the cover. Capillary action
starts more readily if the cover is
first dampened by dipping it into wa
ter or throwing water upon it with
the hand. The greater the rate of
evaporation the lower the temperature
which can be secured; therefore the
refrigerator works best when rapid
evaporation takes place. When the
refrigerator is placed in a shady place
in strong breeze and the air is warm
and dry, evaporation goes on con-
tinuously and rapidly and the temper
ature inside the refrigerator is re-
duced. Under ideal conditions the
temperature has been known to be re-
duced to so degrees f. When the
air is damp the refrigerator will not
work as well, since there is not
enough evaporation. More water vii,
| find its way to the lower pan, but ii
will be drawn up into the covering by
capillary attraction when the air be-
comes drier.
