Proposed Increase
In Freight Rates
On n. E. Railroads

A bulletin recently issued by the
New England Freight Association
which is the central organization OF
New England railroads, announces
that a proposal has been made to in
crease to some extent rates on GER
tain commodities such as boots
shoes, and textiles. shipped from
Maine manufacturing places to Bos-
ton and other points in Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire.
The changes contemplated in rates
vary from three cents to 16 cents per
100 pounds over the present rates.
1t is understood that the proposal
in so far as it concerns rates on boots
and shoes from Augusta means an
increase from 80 to 40 cents per 100
pounds. Similar changes are CEN
templated on boots and shoes from
other Maine manufac turing points.
1t is understood that the proposal
is to increase the present rates on
cotton goods TO the extent Of about
10 cents per 100 pounds or Slightly
higher.
The proposed changes in the rates
on wooden goods will produce an in
crease over the present rates Of about
Is cents per 100 pounds.
1t is the practice Of the New Eng
land Freight Association to accord
interested parties the opportunity Of
being heard in any discussion that
may arise as to the necessity or ad-
visibility Of establishing any rate
changes before they are finally put
into effect. The office of the New
England Freight Association is In the
South station at Boston, and 1t is
understood that general meetings are
held at stated times.

TAX ASSESSORS GIVEN
$50 EACH FOR WORK

City council at its session last
night formally agreed to allow P. B.
Williford, Bradley Hogg and Charles
Lingo $3.50 each for their services
as members of the Board of CITY
Tax Assessors. The payment was or
dered after some discussion in which
Alderman Allison expressed the be-
lief that 500 would have been suf-
ficient for this service, and that
$3.50 had been paid city assessors
only since the beginning of the war
when we got in high" as one mem
Der of council expressed himself. It
was finally decided, however, that
inasmuch as the assessors went into
the employment expecting to receive
$3.50 each that amount should be
paid them. City Clerk Dudley Gate
wood was accordingly instructed to
issue each of them voucher for
$3.50 in payment for their services.

VANITY

American women and girls
spend more on rouge, face pow
der and lipsticks than the entire
country spends on bathroom equip
ment. So claims Colonel w. G.
Archer, plumbing engineer.
Nevertheless, it is money we'll
spent. Cosmetics are used more
as Northumberland than to
crafty the vanity. Civilization is
theatrical performance-farce
comedy disguised as tragedy-and
no actor ever is at his best with
out makeup. Everything natural
is good, and it's as natural for wo-
men to beautify as for mating
birds to MARBLE sweet songs and
grow glourious plumage.

HOUSES

This year enough lumber will be
used in United States to build and
furnish a row Of five-room houses
which, placed every so feet apart,
would reach from New York to
Seattle, down to San Francisco,
east to New Orleans and back to
New York.
With a lumber demand like that,
and with more trees being chopped
down than planted, it's easy to UNI
derstand why we are rapidly head
ing toward Treeless America.
