 Paris, including all the dressmakers, seemed to have transferred itself bodily to Deauville for the three days "Fete of the Assumption" and the American buyers flocked there by the hundreds. They returned absolutely astounded and dazed at the extreme elegance and vulgarity of dress and the richness beyond reason of jewels.
 It is too much of contrast to see the people in the devastated districts with outstretched hands begging for sous to tutDie lneIu IO 5LdTl DIe anew ana then at Deauville to see the jeweled arm of French woman outstretched to put 5000 franc note on the gambling table as if it were five sous.

FFIC OFFICERS
 ID HUGE BUSINESS
 DOLLARS ROLL IN

A campaign to rigidly enforce the traffic ordinances in this city is being carried on by the police department, and as result ten defendants were in police court yesterday afternoon on charges of speeding, keeping muffler open and failure to comply with the parking regulations.
 Disregard of signals from the new traffic policemen brought three of these defendants into court. One mo- torist admitted using the city streets as a speedway and the other six were found guilty of parking their cars in such a way as to obstruct traffic. AS the defendants were all first offenders, several of them being strangers in the city and not familiar with the traffic regulations, few of them were given light fines and the rest dismissed with a warning that the court would not be 1enient with second offenders.

The tag tells the motorist the nature of the charge which will be filed against him and when to appear fin police court.
 Acting Judge Trevellian supplied each offender with printed traffic reg ulations when they appeared in court yesterday.
 One defendant, who admitted park tng his car across a walk used by pe- destrians and was fined s appealed his case. He said that although he drove the car which was wrongly parked, he was not its owner, and that the tag left on the car called for the owner to appear. The practicability of the tag system may rest largely upon the ruling of the higher court on this technical point

The communication accompanying the order stated that butter was selling for g per pound on Ophir creek and the thrifty party who sent in the or der figured that he could do much better by securing butter from Nome by parcels post.

Owing to the school period having been greatly shortened as a result of the influenza epidemic, the school board has decided to try and make up for the lost time by keeping the school in session as much as possible during the remainder of the school term. Save on special occasions, there will be no observance of holidays during tn remainder of the school year. Except the usual Saturdays and Sundays. Pursuant to this decision, the school was kept in session today, altho the usual activities were varied in the de- gree that exercises commemorative of the greatness and virtues of the noble Lincoln were held by the various grades. Although there is a certain feeling against the non observance of holidays. the decision of the board seems an excellent one. in view of the great curtailment of the usual school period. The school was closed con- siderably over two months as result of the epidemic.
