BOARD MEMBERS RATIFIED
Republicans to Meet In Caucus To

In a meeting that was devoid o
any extended arguments or ques
tions, the annual report of the tow
officers of Berlin and the budget o
the finance board for the coming
year was accepted by the voters O
the town last evening at the annua
town meeting. The attendance wal
small but the gathering was rep
resentative one. About SO resident:
were In attendance. Lester Demins
moderator. acted as chairman anu
Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff a.
clerk.
The report Of each town officer
was acted upon individually and III
question. The usual long discussion
concerning certain items was miss
ing. A short debate WIS held con-
corning the statement OF the audi
tors. George w. Sullivan, one OF the
auditors, called the attention of the
gathering TO the statement in the
report that read mo attachments be-
ing taken into account" He said that
the auditors disregarded any abate-
ments marked on the tax collectors
books and said that the auditors
still considered the taxes collect
able. He claims that the PROPOSE
ton was unfair to the auditors and
some certain body should have the
power to act In the cases of abate-
ment.
c. F. Lewis, tax collector, in
speaking about the uncollected
taxes said that a great part OF this
amount was due to the strike In the
brick yard. Many people moved
into town during the strike and
brought automobiles. BY the time
he came to collect the taxes these
people. on the most part, had left
town.
1t was voted that the report of
the auditors be accepted and reso-
iution was passed stating that the
matter OF back taxes should be re-
ferred to the board of selectmen
with Instructions to see that the
matters be Strengthened out by the
proper persons.
Chairman c. w. Stevens of the
finance board read the proposed
budget for next year. The total
WAS less than that of last year and
the voters accepted it without ques-
ton.
1t was voted to purchase a gravel
bank in the Blue Hills. The reso-
luton read as follows: That the
selectmen purchased an irregular
piece Of land on the Samuel A. Hart
estate which extends $50 feet on the
8outhington road, has 1 depth of
90 feet on the west side and is los
feet on the east side to driveway
that II 20 feet wide. The cost was
not to exceed 500.
The matter was first tabled when
1t was discovered that the cost did
not include the fencing Of the bank.
On . new motion the question was
opened again and accepted because
1t was brought out that the bank
would furnish gravel for over so
years.
The gathering ratified the an
pointment Of Claude w. Stevens and
James J. Fitzsimmons to the finance

BEAUTY How and Why
By Ann Alysis

The most expressive eye. the best modelled features. the finest shaped face may be marred by eyebrows that are too thick. too scant, or that insist upon meeting each other above the nose. Those that are so light in color as to be scarcely visible are not good, either.
 Dark. bushy brows may be thin ned to a becoming degree by pluck ing. This you do yourself, and all the equipment needed are tweezera and & mirror. plus. of course. an eye for line.
 When the surplus hair has been removed by the tweezers, the eye brows should resemble pencilled lines. beautifully arched.
 The only way to remedy objec- tionable hair bridging the nose is to remove it. There is choice of methods: by use of tweezers. shay ing or by electrolysis. The last method affords permanent results. 4 great many women achieve the fine ly arched brow by shaving it off to the desired shape.

 Dicky's room is next 10 my fathers and is in a wing of the farmhouse which, when we first bought the big, rambling old place, appeared particularly suited for the purpose of housing the men of the family and our occasional masculine guests. The rooms were according ly fitted up as bachelor quarters, But with my father absent and no guests in the house.
