be likely to occur for a long time, IL
ever. There are still some very desir-
able bargains left and money can be
saved and it will pay anyone to buy
for future use.-Adv.

WOMAN DEFENDS
PATRIOT SOCIETY
Daughters of Revolution Are
Neither Reds Nor Pacifists,
President General Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Md, Nav 19.-The
General Society of the Daughters Of
the Revolution was defended against
charges of ''redness'' and "pacifism'
by Mrs. Minnie Strong Latham of Ar
lington, y. J., president general, at
the opening session of the annual
convention here Yesterday
This seems to he "A day of eX-
tremeS," Mrs. Latham said 'EX-
tremes in dress are very much criti-
Cized. but TO my mind extremes in
speech are quite as prevalent.
1T is charged that the woman
leaders of these patriotic organiza-
tions are reds and pacifists. l believe
there are no more patriotic women in
the country than those in this or
ganiZation."
When Defense day was mentioned, :"
Mrs. Latham continued. many saw
nothing but militarism. They tell us
we foster the war spirit. Is that com.
mon sense? We need an Army and
Navy. Until there is a substi.
tute for war we believe in a National
Defense day. We object to
the statement that because we al
ways have had war we always will
have war. because il is exactly CON
trary to the principles OF evolution" :"
Reports by officers and committee
chairmen occupied most OF the day
More than 800 women from all parts
of the country are attending the
convention.

for the twelve months beginning July
j. One of the most important in
creases being considered by the coun
Gil Is in the specific item for repairs to
worn-out asphalt streets. The last
appropriation for that purpose was
$500, 900, and the engineer department
believes it could use 81 900 900 to ad-
vantage on that work in 1927.
Another notable proposed increa Sc
is in paving out of the gasoline tax.
The estimated amount of work to be
done under that heading in the next
fiscal year is SS12 900. The engineer
department figures on gasoline paving
amounting to $1,200000 in 1927, due
to the fact that assessments levied
against abutting property owners for
paving under the gasoline tax fund
revert back to that fund.
The council also will consider pro-
posed increase of approximately $780,
600 in the annual allotment for repairs
to suburban roads. for which purpose
the last appropriation was $297 900.
Most of the discussion of street
cleaning needs dealt with the question
of how much should be sought for
snow removal. While this question
was being debated Engineer Commits
sioner Bell said:
I'VE can't just throw money away
removing snow. New York spends
S6.OOO,0OO year doing it. l dom
want to spend $500,00O for that pur.
pose. think we ought to have twice
as much as we spent last year, but
that Is as far as / want to 60"
1t was explained that last Winter
the amount spent on snow removal
was $4,000.
