Before leaving the council table,
Will S, Fawcett made an eXplana-
tion of the councils action last

said had drawn some criticism to-
ward the members of the board.
He explained that purchase of adj
ditional equipment had been under
consideration by the council for
lengthy period and that the decision
to purchase had been made only af
ter strong recommendation to do so
had been received from a represcn-
tativc of the state board of fire
underwriters.
Surplus Turned Over
Aside from the expenditure of
approximately $4,000 for the new
fire equipment, the old council is
turning over to the new admins
tration Approximately $4,000 in
the city treasury. Fawcett said.
"When you gentlemen have been
in office Il short time ! am sure
Won will find that the only criti
cism which should be made relative
to the purchase of the additional
fire equipment is that the board
did not make it sooner he said.

wished the new administration

HlHERE is charming little old
Il lady Of 90. who lives alone,
powders her nose, wears French
heels and takes an active interest
in politics. She is an alert young
person who doesn't look a day
over-well 81.
And this is why: Balance,
sense of proportion and modera-
ton are responsible for a life
that has been as happy as it has
been long. The little old lady
has lived calmly and cheerfully.
Her life has been one OF SYM
metry and beauty.
Many people live to a ripe old
age. But they grow old with
groans and creaking bones. They
complain of the present genera
ton and of draughts. They pat
ronize the drug store for lini-
ments and lozenges. They affront
the world with shawls and capes
and juliettes.
The little old lady in the days
of her youth was frequent orna-
ment to brilliant bathrooms. She
is scarcely less decorative at 81.
And if poWderpuff and ear
rings were effective aids in her
debutante days. they are no lesss
effective aids today.

and the laughter and light died

reached for her vanity case and
began to powder q nose that
needed no powdering.
Look who's here?" she said
under for breath to Margret.
She wished she had stayed at
home tonight. It made her ache

gether, arm in arm like lovers.
