PARAGRAPHIC SPASMS. o.
There is one sl,orn every minute.
Ringing speeches were never

This business Of women using
paint aand powder is just a skin
game.
We just cant help smiling when
we see q flapper, with rOll-tops and
powdered knees, grab embarras-
singly at her skirts when stiff
breeze blows.
All that Is now needed TO i'm.
Inortalize the name Of Henry Ford
Is an autobiography.
Because Congress cannot alleyi-
ate all our troubles Is no reason
why 1t should not allow us to griu
and beer those we have.
Button, button, who's got the
buttons" Your laundry, of course.
Booltkeepers should be careful
Of these certified accountants; they
are a calculating sort.
All this foreign matter in the
public eye is liable to blind the
public to the true condition OF

THAT WEIRD STUFF.

= Wilkie Collins, the novelist, once
remarked that he often saw ghosts
Of all shapes and sizes when work

he went to an Oculist and took >
rest.
Now cometh the bold knight, Sir

achieve an Ouija board which will

The refusal of Sibley and Homeo.
pathic hospitals to administer first
aid treatment yesterday to a young
colored boy who had been struck
down by an automobile today ls be.
ing Investigated by George s. VIII.
son, secretary of the Board OF
Charities.
Wilson said that while these hos
pitfalls were not under his supervision,
either directly or indirectly, he felt
IL his duty to find out why they
would not accept this emergency
case.
These hospitals are supported by
private charities and the board has
nothing TO do with them" said VIII
son. But / intend to call this case
to the attention of the heads Of the
institutions. This boy should have
been treated. Even II there, was no
room In the hospital for him he
should have been given first aid and
then sent somewhere else"
Condition Not Serious. -
The boy, Leroy Randolph, colored,
seven years old, is now at his nome
at 1O5 o street northwest. He Is
being attended by DIR. Arthur b.
Mckinney, Of 1916 First street north
west.
'.The boys condition does not ap.
pear to be serious, but he must be
watched for several days" said DIR.
Mckinney. He is suffering from
bruises on the head. In all cases
OF head injuries we must watch the
patient closely to see that concussion
Of the brain does not set In
No doctors at Either.
The boy was struck down about
11I5 o'clock yesterday morning. He
was in the street near First and q
streets northwest when an sutonIe
bile driven by Lorenzo Wilson, CO.
ored. of 111S Eighteenth street north
west, hit him.
f. Burnett Bloom, who was driv
ing in the rear of Wilson, picked the
boy up and took him to a nearby
drugstore. The druggist said the
boys head injuries might be serious
and advised rushing him to tue hos
pital.
Bloom took the boy to Sibley Hos
pital. He was told there, II Is al
legged, that there were no doctors
available and the boy could not be
treated. Bloom then rushed the boy
to Homeopathic Hospital. Here he
was told. he claims. no doctors were
in the institution. 1t vas suggested
at Homeopathic that he take the boy
to the home Of a physician near by.
The boy was removed to the physi-
clans house. The physician vas not
at home and Bloom came back to
Homeopathic. Again the hospital. it
Is claimed, refused 20 give the boy
treatment.
Failing to get aid from these insti.
tutions, Bloom took the boy TO his
home at 105 o street northwest. DR..
Mckinney was called and treated
the boy.

It is reported that several fake so- licitors of funds have been working in this borough within the past few weeks. At meeting of the Stafford Business Mems association on Monday evening, at request of the merchants, a committee, consisting of George Stevens, Fred Lane and T. F. Mullen, was appointed to investigate solicitors of funds for charitable and other ob- jects and donations are to be re- fused solicitors who are not endorsed by this committee.
 The Boys club successfully ended another season last Saturday after noon with a banquet at their rooms. Short speeches were made by 0. F. Beckwith, c. F. Chandler and J. H. Valentine. They were much enjoyed by members present and Mir. Valentine drew special interest when he related some of his experiences in Florida this winter. MT. Beckwith said that in another year 8 new shower bath would be installed and probably a moving picture camera and radio out fit. These would certainly be great educational and interesting additions and Mir. Beckwith and all other di- rectors connected with the Boys club, with Edward Green and Connie Clark, the manager and assistant, should be highly praised in their work to better the conditions and give the Stafford boys 8 chance to keep themselves physically and morally fit.
 The schedule for the local high school base ball team is nearly com plete with only three open dates left. They will open their season April IS, with Enfield as the attraction.

The schedule Is as follows:

 and will probably be awarded the contract. It is expected that work will be started very soon.
 The above picture shows the hand some and commodious building. K. c. & c. c. Gardner of Springfield, Mass, are the architects. The construction Of the building will be hard burned brick with artificial stone trimmings. It will be two stories high, with a three story front, IA feet long and 60 feet wide. It will be located on Haymarket Square on the site of the Baker block, that was destroyed by fire about five years ago, and of the Gary lot in the rear. After paying for the site about $92,OOO is available for the building. The building will be located about twenty feet from the National Bank tuilding. The lease of a strip of land 12 feet wide on the south side of the lot from the street to the river from the Central Vermont Railway, Co.,, will improve the appear ance5 on that side. The interior con struction call for main supporting walls and floor cams of steel with all walls and ceilings plastered on metal lath. The lower floor will contain at the front the offices of the town clerk and judge of prot ate, with suitable vaults followed by rooms for borough and town officials, a borough police room and at the rear county court room with suitable ante rooms There will als0 be room on this floor of atout 23X33. On the second floor there will ke hall capable of seating about 775 people, with ample exits at both ends. There will be a stage about 20X57 with suitable dressing rooms.

 In summing mp the basket ball sea- son which the local "Y' has just completed it would hardly be fair to say that it was not a good one for several reasons, and the first of these is being all through the season we had to compete against more expe- rienced teams in order to arrange our games and our game has been taken from the official guide and rule book without coach. Secondly because we have been handicapped for space and thirdly because we were up against big odds all season We have played sixteen games and won seven, a creditable record for a first year team. We were defeated by Holland three times which should not have been though they have team worthy of consideration and team of much ability. Our first defeat from pick up team was nothing to worry about and the next two games were won hands down. In our fourth game we were defeated by the Monties from Willimantic, which decided our sup pOrters that we had team of much ability with the never do or die spirit in their veins. Talcottville was easy prey. Next the Owls and Young Gel tics of Willimantic were defeated aft CT close games and we decided that we were still in the running with the

THE Bavarian government is in
l. open revolt against the central
German government at Berlin and has
issued a decree that rejects and sup
plants the recent legislation by the
~reichstag for the defense of the re
public. The Bavarian minister at
Berlin was instructed to inform
Chancellor Wirth that any outside po-
lice official attempting to operate in
Bavaria would be promptly arrested.
Wirth has called a conference of all

problem, and if Bavaria does not

it's rights. The old enmity between
Bavaria and Prussia and the strong
monarchist sentiment among the Ba-
varians make the situation difficult
