LEGION AUXILIARY
STAGES BIG BAZAAR
Good Program Put on for Opening
Night-Sales Tables Well
Patronized.

Over 500 were in Rowland hall last
night for the fair and bazaar Of the
Auxiliary to Barre post, No. 10, Of the
American Legion. And they were 50c
live ones too. They had to be. For the
ladies' behind the treasure heaped ta-
bles didn't let single duh moment
creep into the entire evening.
The hall was decorated with red
white and blue bunting. The entertain
ment program, which proved to be 9
fxm, opened at sharp ans the hall
was well-crowded even that early. Miss
Mary Allen gave piano solo and the
crowd displayed a passion for piano
solos, thereby causing Miss Allen to re-
spond to several .enc0res. Then came
the treat Of the whole night, q farce
comedy called Mrs. Carver's Fancy
Ball. The same old reliable Legion
talent was there and the act was q
real success. The parts we're taken as
follows: Mr.. John Carver Ralph OH
yer; Jack Carver (his nephew, Louis
O'Leary, Mr.. Oliver Brigham, James
Booth: an officer Of the law, Gerald
Ball; Mrs. John Carver, Mildred Land
ef; Beatrice ther daughterl, Lillian
Papin, and Polly the maid, Margaret
Roberts. During the play, Mr.. Booth
balanced the ever-elusive monocle with
amazing proficiency He also wrestled
to triumph with an English dialect.
Miss Lander and Mr. Oliver displayed
temper and nerves. enough to un-
questionably qualify them as ideal
wife and husband. Miss Papin and Mr..
OIeary made pretty love, perfectly,
and Polly, and the cop were great.
The first table inside the door was
the display Of quilts and food. Mrs.
Bemis, Mrs Kate Ball, Mrs. Robert
Knox, sr., and Mrs. Robert Knox. jr.,
presided. Then came the ice cream and
tonic stand. Through deep layer Of
young Barre 1t was necessary TO strug-
gic to learn that Misses Pauline and
Frieda Beck and Mrs. Charles Leith
were the busy ones here. Mrs. Forrest
Chaplcs and Miss Mary 4. MacDon-
aid had charge OF the grab bag and
were kept on the jump every minute.
The fancy work, one Of the finest dis
plays seen in the hall. was in the care
of Mrs. Edward Mackay and Mrs. War
ren Cummings.
The inevitable aprons were there
also and there strong. Mrs. Eta Sib-
ley, Mrs. William johnson, Mrs. Elmer
Hunting and Mrs Robert Patterson,
sr., had charge Of them. The candy "a
BILE, which was the center of consider
able attention was presided over by
Mrs. Martha Fowiie, Miss Emma Fow
lie and Mrs. Anna Pratt. And last but
a long way from least was the doll and
table. George Pratt and
James Stuart managed this booth and
had their hands full all the time.
Even after the entertainment was
over and the dancing had commenced
the crcwd continued to stream into the
hall and not one table had more than
a few occasional minutes Of respite ali
night. CAROLS orchestra played for
dancing until midnight.

EXCEEDINGLY PROFITABLE.
"win Ny chum' Services in Barre Arr
Concluded.

The "win Ny Chum' week serviceI
were concluded last evening with an
attendance that filled the Methodist
vestry to the limit. But. beyond the
matter of attendance lay the real
crowniag element of success of these
gatherings, the fact that eight young
people made definite decisions for this
Christian life and life service.
Rev. Leon Morse spoke on the text,
"Ye are the light of the world As re-
CARDS religion, we are inclined TO think,
he said. too much of the merely COM
forting side os it, like the sunbeam
that creeps into the darkness with its
cheer and comfort. Religion has that
side. but it also has the more powerful,
effective function-it is an energizer.
When. therefore. Jesus said. "Ne are
the light of the world he meant
Christians should be good for some
definite service in the world. We are
not to put our light under a bushei
but in a capdlestick on some table
where it will give light TO all in the
house. Too often, though. when Chris
tians are called on to teach Sunday
-chool class or to take charge Of the
boy scouts they plead inability or mod
esty. Besides. when young people of a
church hear the call to Christian serv-
ice. parents often block their efforts
or even threaten 20 disown them IL
they carry out their convictions He
cited the instance where three young
persons in his own church had TO con
tend with this very opposition
Rev. Arthur W. Hewitt gave some
concrete suggestions to those who in
this service had made definite decisions
for the Christian life and for special
service. First, h said. read your Bible
every day, especially the Gospels; pray
with all sincerity. expressing your own
desires. talk often with Christian
friends about the life; especially speak
with your pSstor. do not harbor evil
thoughts: strive 70 live mp TO yeur
ideals, indeed. try to live up 70 what
Others think ors want YOU TO be; and
finally. do something definite in Chris-
tian service: for instance, set aside
Dne-tenth Of your income TO Be used in
heipfdl causes.
II was the concensus of opinion of
IA who have attended these meetings
that they have been exceedingly prof
table.

JAPAN'S STAND
NOT REVEALED
AT WASHINGTON
Great Britain Insists That
She Was Foremost in Of
fer to Relinquish Hold
ings in China-Confer-
ence Is to Meet in Plena-
Try Session Monday

Washington, D. G., Nov. Is tBy the
Associated Press) With the arms
conference in adjournment, the various
national groups further developed in
consultations among themselves to-day
the policies they will follow with re-
spect to the far eastern questions and
the limitation of armament.
The British, following the lead OF
French, let it be known that as
cardinal principle OF their attitude to-
ward the far eastern situation they
stood ready to perpetuate the open
door, in China, give up extra terrific
rial rights there AS soon as Chnas
development win warrant, and in gen
eral aid the Chinese people to assume
a place of economic influence IN the
world. 1t was fuzzy expected that Italy
whose interest is more. remote, would
take much the same position.
The Japanese, who, having declared
willingness to accept the Chinese dec
laration of principles 'as basis Of dis
cussion," were at work framing more
detailed statement of their position
after communication with Toxic.
There were indications that the ex-
ira territorial phase Of the situation
would occupy a prominent place III
such statement with Japan taking
the position that the powers cannot
give up extra territorial rights
until the Chinese court system has
been substantially expanded and re-
constructed.
For the United States no one would
speak authoritatively, officials only
referring inquirers to the record OF
this governments past attitude to-
ward China. The particular way in
which these general principles are to
be applied to the present situation
probably will remain unreyealed until
--the negotiations have gone much far
ther, although it is taken for granted
that maintenance of the "open door"
will remain basic consideration in
any American plan of procedure.
In emphasizing their readiness to
work for China's economic emancipa
tion, British spokesmen insisted that
Great Britain had actually been far
in advance of other nations in offer
ing 10 relinquish extra territorial jur-
isdiction in China as soon as that
country was developed TO insure the
safety of foreigners and British ma
tionals. They recalled that the point
was treated in the treaty made Is
years ago by Great Britain with China.
A carefully considered statement of
the British attitude toward China,
made by high authority. said that
generally speaking Great Britain had
come to, the conference TO take part
with the other nations in the prepara-
tion of steps 10 make China a sable
country and real factor in world
trade. In that respect il was declared
Great Britain's interests were identi-
cal with those of other nations; GER
tainly with. those of the United States.

MEDICAL BEER
NOW OUTLAWED
Final Legislative Step Was
Taken To-day by
the Senate.
OF PASSAGE
STOOD 56 TO ~
Twelve Republicans We're
Against Passage
of Bill.

Washington, d. G., Nov. s.Ths
final legislative step for the outlawine
of beer and Of malt liquors for medical
purposes was taken to-day by the
Senate.
BY a vote of 56 to 20, the Senate
adopted the conference report on the
SO o-called anti beer bill and the measure
now goes to the president, the House
having acted some time ago.
Twelve Republicans and ten Demo-
Gratis voted against the conference re-
port.
The Republican opponents were
Senator's Brandagee, Dupont, Edge,
johnson, LaFollette, Lodge, Mclean,
Penrose, Phipps, Shortridge, Wads-
worth and Weller. The Democrats
were Senators Broussard. Gerry, King,
Pomerene, Ransdell, Shields, Stanley,
Underwood, Walsh lMassachusetts)
and Watson (Georgial.
Two others, Senator Reed, Demo
crat, Missouri, and Moses, Republican,
New Hampshire, were paired against
the bill.
Thirty-three Republicans and %
Democrats supported the measure
while it was announced that Sepators
Harreld, Republican, Oklahoma; kel-
logg, Republican. Minnesota; Lenroot,
Republican, Wisconsin; Mccormick,
Republican. Illinois; Sutherland, RE-
publican, West Virginia, and Fletcher,
Democrat, Florida, who were absent
and paired, favored the bill.
Beer Prescriptions Go Out.
The bill win set aside the ruling by
former Attorney General Palmer. who,
two DAYS before he retired, advised
the prohibition enforcement officials
that there was nothing in the Volstead
act to prohibit the prescription OF beer
and light wines for medical purposes.
The legislation has been before Con-
gress since last June. The House ac-
cepted the compromise reached by the
conferecs in August, but there followed
a bitter controversy in the Senate
waged by a small but determined
group who contended that the bill
struck fatal blow at personal rights
because it permitted search and seiz-
nre without warrants. The fisst draft
OF the measure authorized the search
of private homes without warrants,
but this feature was eliminated in
conference. .
The bill limits physicians to 100 pre-
scriptions for liquor each three months
and specifies that not more than
quart Of spiritnous or vinous liquor
containing in the aggregate not more
than one half pint of alcohol may be
prescribed for one person in ten days.
Importation Of liquors is barred by
the bill until the supply on hand in
the United States shall no longer be
sufficient to meet the current need for
non-beverage uses.

BRITISH HALT
BIG SHIP WORK
-Four Of Super-Hood Type
are Ordered to Be
Held Up.
1T MAY MEAN TOTAL
SUSPENSION OF WORK
-
Pending the Outcome Of the
Conference in Wash
ington.

London, Nov. Is tBy the Associated
Press The admiralty announced to-
day that it had ordered the cessation
of all work on the four warships Of
the super Hood type. The shipbuilding
firms were notified yesterday not TO
incur any further liabilities on new nas
val construction until further notice
from the admiralty.
These contracts were awarded only
two weeks ago.
Officials explained that the practical
effect of the admiralty's order would
be the absolute cessation of all war
ship work pending the outcome of the
Washington conference.
There were originally four ships of
the Hood type, only one of which, the
Hood herself, was completed. Begun
in 1916, she was launched late in 1918
and completed in 1920. The other three
ships, all Of highly powerful battle
cruiser type, were re-designed to meet
the lessons of the battle of Jutland,
work on them having been stopped in
March, 1917.
1t appeared from London dispatches
in August last that four new battle
cruisers we're to be turned out as inn
provements over the Hood type. Their
completion by 1925 was expected.
These ships were to have been prob
ably the most heavily armed in the
world, carrying ten TO twelve l6-inch
guns each in their main batteries. The
Hood had a main Battery of eight
l5-inch guns and her normal displace-
ment is Al 200 tons.

Tuesday night, and but a few items
were saved from either building.
Mr.. Began who is member OF the
Police Jury was in Arcadia attending
a regular meeting Of that body and re-
ceived the message informing him OF
his loss about $50 Tuesday night. In
asmuch as some were Of the opinion
that the fire originated from an in
cendiary cause, Sheriff Currie was
notified and he and Mr.. Began left on
train No. II, for Castor that nights
When asked what he estimated the
amount Of his loss to be, Mr.. Began
stated that he was unable to make an
estimate before returning to his home,
but that his stock Of merchandise and
building were only partially insured,
and that his loss would be seriously
felt just at this time especially.
Only a short time ago Mr.. Bogan's
warehouse was destroyed by fire and
at that time blood hounds were secur.
ed from Mississippi and one Or two
arrests were made, but at this time
several people had been around thu
buildings that burned, and Sheriff
