its streets, which the revised char
ter does not grant. Mr.. Curtis said
the legislature has passed the char
ter and it was now up to the gov
ernor. He asked the mayor if he had
not known about the objectiona BILE
changes and received a negative re-
ply. MIR. Halloran said something
had to be done to set the matter
right, Mr.. Leghorn's motion to ask
the assembly to recall the charter
was finally passed.

NO SMALLPOX SCARE

A case of smallpox within the
city does not mean a smallpox scare.
1t merely requires greater watch
fulness, more care and a more
widespread knowledge OF what to do
to combat the situation.
Because a member OF the head
quarters fire company lived in the
same house with a boy who has a
mild case OF smallpox does not
mean its spread: but 1t does require
that every possible precaution
should be taken. Quarantine of the
fire station OF course would be ri
diculous at this time.
The repercussion is from Bristol,
How easy 1t is to spread smallpox.
A boy from Bristol. having a frac-

BLUE BORDERS

BY Carl A. Grier
Blue borders are becoming in
creasingly popular with garden
lovers, and every effort should be
made to prevent the intrusion of
discordant notes in the color
scheme.
In this connection the aesthetic
gardener is frequently annoyed by
the irritating way in which robins,
for instance, insist on perching on
the plants or sticks and running an
effect for which he has striven
perhaps for years.
The popular remedy with some
robins if they cannot be induced &c
remain in one place; but the birds
appear to have d prejudice agalns'
this. Perhaps it would be quite as
effective and certainly more hui
name to provide them with blue
knitted waistcoats. which are botf
warm and becoming.
1t is most important to. weed tht
borders regularly.
We are well aware that man,
people find it very tedious to benz

F YOU are planning to buy
new General Motors car, why not keep your
present car for the everyday use of the family?
A thousand educational and cultural OppOr-
tunities are freely offered to the modern
family, and the acceptance of them is limited
only by the number of hours in the day.
AS men have learned that minutes lost in
transit are deducted from earning power, SO
the American woman knows that inadequate
transportation exacts heavy toll in time
and time is life.
For this reason General Motors believes it
is contributing to sound national economy in
encouraging the extension of twO-car owner
ship. Enjoy this great advantage by keeping
your present car when you buy new car; or
by adding another General Motors car; or
by purchasing used car from General
Motors dealer.
