borne out. While there is an un-

There is a firm and well-sus-

show tendencies to stiffen up as
greater activities get under way.
The labor situation, viewed from
the standpoint of the entire coun-
try, is favorable and wages are
holding up well. due to a greater
demand as well as a lessened sup

exodus of workers from some. of
the building trades.
Perhaps the most salutary

HANOVER INVADED BY
AN ARMY OF GYPSlES
TRAVELLING IN BANDS
(By The Associated Press.l

Berlin, Feb. 16.-North and
East Hanover, from Oldenburg to
Brunswick, have been invaded by
an army of gypsies, travelling in
bands comprising sometimes 100
wagons and camping in fields and
woods. They invade the market
places in towns and on market
days crowd out German vendors.
The authorities in the several
communities are taxed beyond
their resources to control these
hordes and prevent them from
beating the Germans in trades. at
which they are adopts. Members
of the .reichstag have asked the
government what steps were to be
taken to drive out or control the
unwelcome guests.
Where they have come from the
authorities do not know, but many
of them are rich, travel in state
in luxurious wagons. equipped with
rich oriental rugs and fine furnish
ings, and ice-boxes in which there
are always supplies of good wines,
liquors, and costly champagnes
Men of the gypsy bands have
adopted modern European appar-
ell. but the women cling to quaint
and picturesque original costumes.
The young girls are beautiful.
Communities through which the
invaders pass usually are cleaned
out through trade. purchase, or
theft, although 1t Is next to impos-
sible to fix crimes upon the gyp-
sizes.

pleted, and the council, together
with many of the other prominent
organizations of the town, have ten
tatively mapped out scheme
which it is hoped, will prove effec-

itor to withdraw the film, and IN
the event that he refuses to do so,
the nature of the film and its faults
will be published in both OF the
daily papers. Motion picture eX-
kibitors will be asked to submit
their advance lists of engagements
to the committee not less than TWO
members of which shall be women,
appointed from the various organl-
cations of the town, for approval or
suggested substitution. The COM
mittee plans to invite any person
finding a picture injurious to public
morals to report the same to a
member of the committee, and the
film win be promptly investigated
In order to procure a committee
made up of representatives of the
leading bodies of the city, the fol-
loving representatives were elected:
Louis McRae, board of education;
Parent Teachers association, Mrs,
yesterday; Central Labor union,
Walter Derrick; Building Trades
council, Thomas Delahoyd; Wo-

CITY BOARD To
RECEIVE BIDS
ON ALL PAVING
Resolution Adopted at Pro-
test Hearings Last Night
to Allow Property Owners
Another Chance.

The city commission last night
ordered paving on ali streets in
Guiding the proposed improvement
projects in both the lowlands and
highlands. A formal resolution to
this effect will be adopted at an adj
journed meeting of the commission
to be held at the city hall Monday
night, at which time the city man
ager will be instructed to advertise
for bids. Commissioner Swope in
troduced a resolution, which was
Unanimously adopted, which in sub
stance provided that the property
owners who filed protests will have
the privilege of appearing at the
meeting at which bids will be sub
mitted and give their views to the
commission as to the prices con-
tanned in the bids. The resolution
provided, however that no legal or
personal notice would be given to
property owners or protestants, but
that they would have only such
notice as would be offered in the
daily papers as to the time and
place of the meeting.
The meeting last night proved to
be a booster meeting. A number Of
the protestants addressed the COM
mission, declaring that their princi-
pal objection to paving was the
probable prices. j. z. Elder, a
South Arno street, property owner,
was the principal spokesman for
property owners on his street. Mr..
Elder said that he had not signed
any protests, although requested to
DO so; that he was a firm believer
in street improvements and was
satisfied that If the prices of the
bids were reasonable, many of those
who had signed protests would
willingly withdraw their names.
Other South ArnO protestants at
the meeting indicated that they
might change their attitude II the
cost OF the paving proved not eN-
oessive when the bids were opened.
Although many property owners on
North walter street had signed pro-
tests, several protestants expressed
O desire to waive their protests if
the cost would not be prohibitive.
The sentiment in favor of paving
which developed at the meeting re-
suited in the adoption of the Swope
resolution providing for the inaug-
uration of the project to the point
of receiving bids.
The following streets are effected
by the order:
South Arno street from Central
avenue to Coal avenue; North
Edith street from Central avenue to
Grand avenue; East Grand avenue
from Edith street to High street.
North High street from Central ave-
nue. to Grand avenue and South
High street from Central avenue
to Coal avenue East Coal from
High street to Broadway; West Coal
avenue from Fourth street to Sec
ond street; South Third street from
Silver avenue to Coal avenue; South
Fourth street from Silver avenue to
Coal avenue and West Gold avenue
from sixth street to Ninth street.
