ALEXANDRIA, Sept. by a
vote Of three to two city council
yesterday refused to pass the
resolution offered by Councilman
Thomas j. Fannon and seconded
by Councilman Ticer to fight pro-
posed increases in the water rates
in the city. Councilman Lamond

thur Herbert. opposed the resolu-
ton, we're both directors of the
water company UP to the time it
was sold last year.
Representatives of the water
company admitted before council
that they had purchased the COM
pany knowing that it would not
return a fair rate on their invest
ment, and within six months
have notified council that they
intend to demand an advance
from the State corporation COM
mission, which will net them
slightly over 100000 year, or
an increase of approximately So
a year on each patron of the

Fannon, in defending his reso-

Shamrock Handicapped
On the beat to windward over
the first 10 miles of the triangu-

than nine minutes behind Enter
prise. On the second 10 miles, a
so-called CLOSE reach" it had
picked UP almost two minutes. On
the third leg, a broad reach, 1t
had picked up more than two min

The answer, according to experts
was found in the fact that Sham
rock, with a mast weighing over
ton more than Enterprises
couldn't point high enough going
into the wind and, therefore, had
to tack on such broad basis that
the race ceased to be race after
the first five minutes.

The commission of experts as

the three men have been def

death, however.
That Strinberg succumbed to

by his two companions seemed
fairly certain, it was pointed out,
by discovery of his skeleton under
a heap of stones built by human
hands, obviously a grave painfully
prepared in the icy vicinity by

 All this" Jacqueline told her self, "is very wrong and silly, and I have no business to do such a thing. I am only wretched little imposter, and he loves me because he doesn't know what I am"
 She had not meant this to hap pen. This indeed, was the very thing which she had intended should never happen. She had never be- lieved, until this moment that he did love her.
 But she was glad he did.
 For quite considerable time after she had come to her senses and realized quite plainly what she was doing, she remained in Teddys arms. It seemed the safest place she had been in for years.
 Hearing him murmuring some thing, she looked up into his face. There was just sufficient sugges- tion of moisture in her brown eyes l to make Teddy's brain swim more than it was swimming already.
 "What are you saying, Teddy?' she asked.
 T was saying" Teddy replied solemnly, that the world is full cf a number of things"
 Gracious, goodness, boy, can't you think of something more orig inal than that for once?"
 That is original" replied Teddy with satisfaction. Nobody says it but I; and the world is more full of things today than it has ever been"

 "No,' replied Teddy, with con viction. s4af
