Hester Prynne passed with almost a

A small, intelligent appearing man

her, he advised hat she name her fell

a high position to stand beside her,
for it was better so than to hide a
guilty heart through life.
Hester shook her head, keeping her
place upon the pedestal of shame with

| The "unanimity of action" of the
convention on all outstanding matters
was praised by DR.. F. H. Knubel, the
president at the closing session. He
! said that on every matter where diff
ference of opinion arose unanimous
decision finally had been reached.
| The request of the Women's Mis-
sionary Society for full voting rights

CAR TRACK EXTENSIONS
SEPARATE FROM FARES

Col. Charles W. Kutz, chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission, does
not believe that the question of need
ed street car track extensions should
be considered in connection with the
hearing which probably will be held
in December to fix the rate of fare
for the new year.
The Engineer Commissioner express
ed the belief that the subject OF
track extensions bears no relation to
fare and might only confuse the fare
question if the two were considered
jointly.
William NICK. Clayton, chairman of
the utilities committee Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, also
believes it would be unwise to con-
slider track extensions in connection
with the rate of fare.
Leaders in the citizens movement
voiced the opinion that no extensions
that are not absolutely necessary should
be ordered at this time, because of the
abnormal cost of cement and other ma
terials entering into track work
The building of long track exten.
sions under present conditions might
make still higher rate Of fare nee.
