Takes Place in World


 Dublin, Dec. 6. (By Associated Press) Ireland took her place today among the worlds commonwealths.
 The provisional government and parliament ceased to function, their place being taken by the permanent parliament and cabinet of the Irish Free State, the new commonwealth being formally proclaimed as an es- tablished government
 The provisional regime which ceas- ed to exist today had such full pow CTS that the new one now inaugurated marks but little change except in name. The program of the day pro vides that the parliament meet at 5 o'clock without ceremony. After its members had taken the oath, elected a speaker and nominated president, the order of the day called for the naming of the executive council by the president with committee of the parliament nominating the other min isters. The arrangements amounted simply to the confirming in office of the men already there.
 The presidents nomination of 30 senators was part of the days busi- ness. The lower house elects the re- maining 30. For these senatorships there were more than so candidates When the senate is constituted later in the week both houses will be ad- dressed by Governor-general Healy.
 Union Jack FurIed
 The Union Jack of Britain has been furled practically throughout the Free State, giving place to the green, orange and white tricolor. The Irish banner will be raised today over the vice regal lodge in Phoenix park

 Great Success For Coughs and Colds

At the Children's Home In New buryport, Mass, there are an average of sixty children under the loving care of the Sisters of Charity.
 In recent signed statement the Sister, in charge said: "We' cheer fully endorse Father Johns Medicine because in our Home it has become indispensable.

6eSJeu. f1e dSSuTeu lle gathering IHd' it is easy enough to get rid of those not wanted. He told of the election 1 in the fifth ward of a councilman who had a good job in the factories The councilman was democrat, but at City Hall continually supported the republicans. At the end of his term he was told he was no longer want ed and despite his efforts to secure reelection, he was dumped, the speaker asserted.
 George Cans, who was one of the party's nominees for representative this fall, felt that organization should be effected at once and a positive stand should be taken on the town committee, realizing, he said, that this is touchy proposition. He felt that those present should be named committee for the organization of a club and should begin work at once.
 Mayor Attacks Legislature
 Mayor Paonessa expressed himself as pleased with the type of men at the gathering and felt it augured well for future successes of the party. He as- serted that the defeat of the demo- crats in the fall was a defeat of the people. He attacked the legislature for it's failure to look after the con- mon people and devotion to the cor porate interests.
 Dr. Henry R. Lasch felt that regu- lar meetings would be beneficial since the ordinary man is not well versed in political matters. He asserted that like himself, there are many men who would be interested in good, whole some political talks.
 Coyle Charges Treachery
 Interest was again centered on the town committee when James J. Coyle, member of that group, stated that he would like very much to be the lever by which some of the commit teemen might be lifted out. He was applauded when he attacked other men in the party with the statement:
 No one man is big enough to dis rupt the party. Let's get rid of the treacherous democrats and re-elect Mayor Paonessa."
 Eugene Sheehan counselled the party leaders against distinctions in extending invitations to meetings such as the one being held. He felt that all democrats should be invited. He urged that proper primary rooms and checking rooms be provided as an in- centive to women to vote.
 Chairman John E. R. Keevers of the board of fire commissioners sug- gested that every man present con stitute committee of one to bring in another man to the next meeting. He felt the prospects for a big, per manent organization were good.
 Answering a point raised by a previous speaker, Dr. A. l.. Avitable asserted that no invitations need be extended as all democrats are welcome at democratic gatherings.

cratic ticket although he didn't wan to cast vote for Gabb whose policy he does not approve, he told the gath ering. He regretted the fact that the town committee was not fully repre-. sented at the meeting.
 Says Committee Lacked Energy
 Chairman Mccarthy charged that the town committee in the last two elections did not work hard; that they made no effort to get out the vote and that the election of the party's nom inees seemed to be the thing farthes1 from their minds. Continuing, he said:-
 'The Hardware City club had to dc most or the work. I had to hire places for the spring primaries, which I had no more right to do than Klett has for the democrats. If the club had left this to the town committee, Quigley would be mayor today.
 ."On election day last Aprilswe had 12 cars promised and during the day we had the use of 65. Where they came from I don't know. We didn't have to pay for single machine. The
 
 Tn the fall we thought we had a more lively committee and the club didn't do anything. You know what happened. In the sixth ward gent walked home the night before with all the dope in his pocket-and he stayed there. At 1880 o'clock Kiniry had to go up and get out the first votes, leaving me alone in the third ward.
 Deplorcs Committee Feuds
 We can accomplish nothing with out hard work. We must get the women working, get their vote in by noon and then concentrate on the men who have not voted. I don't want to take the work out of the town com mittee's hands, but they must be punched up.' They must stop fight ing and squabbling among themselves, learn to help themselves and then we can help them"
 Smith Defends Town Committee.
 Registrar of Voters Thomas J.. Smith felt the time is opportune for a permanent organization movement. He is member of the town com mittee and felt that sometimes that committee is abused wrongfully. At tacks have been common as long as he can remember, but it should be considered that committees are often- times handicapped in the work they wish to do, he said,
 If you have members on the town committee that are no good-demo- crats in name only-elect new men next spring" P. c. Mcintyre, a mem Der of the board of public works sug-

 Original Signers Gone
 This is the anniversary of the sign ing of the Anglo Irish treaty, and it is recalled that not a single signatory remains a member of the Saorrstat government. Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins are dead; Robert Barton has joined De Valera; George Cavan Duffy and Eamon J. Duggan have retired: Erskine Childers has been executed. The only man whose name was affixed to the articles oi agreement and who still holds an off cial post is John Chartries, the Free State representative in Berlin.
 Press Is Hopeful.
 The newspapers editorially refer to the birth of the Free State in a hope full spirit. The Freeman's Journal, remarking that the Irish Free State begins life today under constitution of Irish manufacture, adds:
 All intrigues to make trouble over the new instrument of the Irish gov ernment fell to the ground on the realization that the British parlia- ment, despite all the supremacy claimed for it, could not change a word or phrase in an Irish made constitution without Ireland's con- sent. The much abused treaty has that domination and made Ireland supreme in administra- tion of their own affairs"
 The Irish Independent says that the old and Bad order completely dis appears with the inauguration of the new government.
 The vice royalty and the lord chancellorship are abolished" it says, "and the entire machinery of the administration as well as the sole law making power within the free state is in the hands of Irishmen themselves"
 Praise For Workers.
 The newspaper considers that the men who were in charge of the af- fairs during the transitional period, although comparatively young, have shown wonderful constructive ability.
 The Irish Times says that the Irish people by their own deliberate choice are left to their own resources to make their own laws and shape their program.
 Their future will be what they choose to make it." this journal de- clares, land the honor of success or the shame of failure will fall upon themselves. Within the next couple of years--for those must be critical vii confound or justiay the prophets of evil"
 Has Worlds Confidence.
 The Irish Times continues with the assertion that the infant state enjoys the confidence of Great Britain, the British empire and the whole world.
 "Mr. Harvey, the United States says that America stands ready to help in every possible way" the newspaper says and asks whether Irishmen will be able to apply to their own needs the purpose, vision and force of character which the demands

| With Christmas but 19 days away the merchants of New Britain are gayly decorating their windows in keeping with the spirit of the holi- day. many housewives are planning for real old fashioned family reunions to be held over that weekend, the restaurants are already beginning to ;! plan attractive menus for the day and the theaters attractive holiday pro- grams.
 The Christmas rush has already started at the local post office and Postmaster w. r. Delaney has called the attention of the general public to list of suggestions which he of sfers concerning the holiday mail, in cluding parcel post At this season of the year the regular mails are heavy and in addition the holiday mail must be handled.
 A number of extra clerks and car riers will be taken from the eligible list of those who have passed the civil service examinations, to assist during the rush. The people of New Britain are asked to mail as early as possible so that post office men will not be obliged to work all day Sum day, December "A or on Christmas Day.
 If the 60 or more men are obliged to work on Sunday the work at the local office will be somewhat delayed the following week inasmuch as each man will be allowed to take one day off during Christmas week. If man works on Christmas Day he will have an opportunity to take day off sometime during the month of Janu- ary.
 Postmaster w. r. Delaney has is- sued the following list of suggestions and asks the New Britain people to adhere to them as much as is pos sible:
 Mail early.
 Wrap securely, using heavy paper and strong twine. Ordinary store paper is not sufficient to protect par cells, and all stamp clerks have been ordered to refuse all parcels which are not properly packed. Place the address of sender in the upper left hand corner of the parcel.
 Address should always be placed in the lower right hand corner, and should be more prominent than the return address.
 Parcels require longer time be- tween offices than letter mail, as all trains do not handle parcel post mat ter.
 Do not seal your parcels or place Red Cross or Christmas seals over the ends of the parcel or over the laps of the paper.
 All stickers should be placed on the back of the parcel, and Red Cross Seals are not good for postage for any mail matter.
 If the stamp clerks asks the con- tents of parcel give a definite state properly rate the postage and to know whether it is properly packed for mailing.
 Write the address plainly (with pen and ink), give the street and number. as substitute carriers are employed to assist in the delivery of holiday mail and they are not familiar with the street addresses.
 The spirit of the holidays is one of Be generous to your friends by not using tiny or "cute" which cause additional labor in handling and delay in their delivery. All envelopes should be not less than three inches wide by five inches long.
 Mailing Schedule
 If you will mail your parcels on the dates given in the following sched- ule, they should be delivered by
