Floyd G. Russell, proprietor of the
Red Cross Pharmacy, is preparing the
rear part of his store for two grafanola
test booths, or, more properly, record
test booths. With these additions
three people may be accommodated
with record trials, one in each booth
and another in the store proper, since
the booths will be closed in completely
| to prevent noise from the street, or
elsewhere intermingling with the tones
| of the records. These improvements
are made necessary by the increasing
demand for the records which Mr.. Rus
sell handles, his present aecommpda-
tions proving vi late insufficient to
meet requirements.

The enthusiasm of the Spaulding
supporters was given a decided setback
Saturday night and Sunday when il
was rumored that tho large red and
blue Spaulding banner. which held so
prominent position in the feminine
ranks OF Spsulding rooters at the
Spaulding victory during the after
noon, had been conhscated by a much
smaller but Just as ardent a group OF
feminine rooters in the Montpelier sec
ton. When the truth of the matter
had been delved into. it was discov
cred that two small bows who had been
holding the banner throughout the
game had, after the game, lokingly
run off with the Spaulding colors.
Two Montpelier girls gave chase and
finally captured the prize. They took
il TO Montpelier and left it at a con-
venient place where it might be easily
secured by the owners. Then tbs
rightful owners were notified BY tele-
phone as to where they might secure
their highly -prized possession for the
asking. II is needless to add that the
banner was claimed az once by the
right party.
