 The city council and womans club maintained a rest room for several months but for various reasons it was discontinued during the winter. We asked the council for a curfew ordin- ance and it was passed at once and bell purchased but owing to the fact that part Of the fittings to the bell have not yet arrived, the ordinance $ not in force but will be very soon now. l The age, all under Is and the hours s in winter and in summer. were what 1 we asked, and was so decided by the 1 council.
