COUNCLLMEN
GET READ Y
FOR PICNIC
Filling Station Bills May Go
Through at Special SeS-
sion Monday Night.

"You know it's customary to give
Christmas presents; we are getting
ready for a nice winter picnic and
will play the game you chase me
and I'll chase you.'
President Boynton J. Moore Of
city council today thus explained the
caucus of six Republican council
men Friday and coincidentally an
nounced a special council meeting
will be held Monday night.
Filling Station Bills
While Moore refused to outline
fully what matters would be consid-
cred there, it is believed majority
faction councilmen will push to pass
age a number of filing station ordi-
nances and the 100000 bond issue
for new police and fire department
motor equipment and possibly may
aid the administration by transfer
ring funds for the street cleaning
and repair departments.
The drive was predicted when ma
jority faction members succeeded in
obtaining presence Of Councilman O..
Ray AIbertson and Claude 70. Neg
ley Republicans. who previously
had been playing with the minority
delegation.
Attack on Collins
One Of the first movements, ac-
cording to persons attending the
caucus. will be an attack upon City
Purchasing agent John ]. Collins,
who, it IS said has been rather loath
to buy in markets Endorsed by coun-
cilmen.
Councilman Willard w. Furgason
started a movement against Collins
during the summer. but It languished
when colleagues proved lukewarm.
With support of Albertson and
Negley. the majority faction may
pass all filing station ordinances
over the opposition Of the board of
coming appeals.
However, Councilman Albertson
contended today the caucus In reality
was a meeting Of all committee
heads. He denied he had switched
to the majority lection.

ting Bootleg Whisky .

Bootleg whisky is running the
complexion of the modern girl, &C
cording to J. M. Price, president of
the Boncilla Laboratories here.
Price addressed the thirty-sixth an
nual convention of the Barber Sup
ply Dealers. in Chicago, recently,
stressing this fact.
Hip liquor improper dieting and
loss of sleep will cause a girl to be-
come prematurely old before she is
thirty" he said.
"a girl who sips highballs regu-
larly, spends her nights dancing
instead Of sleeping. and goes on a
rigid diet to become thin as a match,
will soon lose all her natural
beauty.
External Signs
Her face will be wrinlkled, her
eyes puffy and her nose red. These
will be merely the external signs of
severe internal arrangement and
general poor health.
Although temperate smoking and
drinking are not particularly injuri-
GUS for an adult, no youngster
under the age of twenty-one should
smoke or drink if good health is de
sired in the days of maturity.
Cosmetics OK.
Cosmetics, for all the mean
knocks they receive, will never
ruin the complexion.
Sensible girls will never take the
chance OF indulging in foolish hab-
it's which may not only destroy a
smooth. natural complexion, but will
make their faces look prematurely
old and dissipated."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20
Government clerks probably
will use their pencils until they
are mere stubs hereafter. Pres
ident Coolidge's spokesman says
the Government spends 1925, 900

ways wherein the Government
may economize.

For this is about what it amounts
to. Everybody knows that there are
cases where marriage after both
parties had obtained a divorce has
turned out happily A number OF
boys and girls marry when they are
too young to know THEM own minds
and may settle down contentedly
with a more congenial person,
But consider the vast number Of
second and third marriages that also
end in the divorce court. What does
this mean? Surely not simply that
these persons have particular
genius for making mistakes Or per
haps that they have no minds 70
make up? Anyway. every time these
divorced persons walk to the altar
with another partner. they have n
subconscious feeling that 1t will be
just as easy to trot to the divorce
court again.

American Gesture

This American gesture of grabbing
something for ones self is at the
crux of the whole wretched bust
ness. Getting goodies has always
made the human animal yell Tor
more. Giving up that for which we
long is what mas made our Few
heroes.
1t is no uncommon thing nowadays
for men and women in the public eye
to have four or five divorces. Does
this liberty as to ditching husbands
and wives ever cause them to stay
married? Not at all Once they get
the habit, nothing but old age can
stop them. The much-married tolN
are the greatest argument against
easy divorce.

Getting TO BE Habit

Subconsciously we ere not marry
ing for keeps these days. Divorce IS
getting TO be a habit with us ana not
a condition. And although a large
percentage of the authorities say
that we are getting somewhere with
IT. surely our general restlessness'
our roaming women and our cynical
men. do not prove this contention.
We are continually looking about
for more freedom to bring us fan
cied happiness, and each day sees
us plunging deeper into discomfort.
Giving everybody a divorce who
wants one will never in the worl1
bring happiness to mankind. Giving
us every freedom that our brains
can conceive viii not make US a
nobler people.
