GIVES TALK

The difficulties Greece has en-
countered in recovering from ef-
fects of the war, and the almost
universal economic crisis of the
past few years, as well as the as
sistance rendered by Americans in
the public improvements in that
country, were Interestingly de.
Scribed over the radio last night,
station VOL, by Charalambos
SimopouloS, Greek minister to the
United States.
Minister SimopouloS spoke dur
ing the weekly Radio Treat Hour
Of The washington Times. After
the war, he said, Greece had to
care fer more than $500, 900 refu.
gees and "for America this would
mean nearly 10000, 900 souls to
be taken care of from one day to
another"
That little Greece, like larger
America, has its budgetary troubles
was cited by the Minister when he
said: ,
"The most rigid economies
have been made and are still be-
ing made by the Greek govern
ment in order to balance the
great deficit in the budget, and
to promote, as far as possible
under present circumstances, the
exports of our products"

NAVAL RESERVE
PLAN FORCED

Because of a reduced budget,
the Navy Department is to ex-
tend the rotating reserve" plan
for the manning of its ships.
This necessary step was explained
late yesterday by Admiral w. v.
Pratt, the chief Of naval opera
tions, who also said that the
American fighting fleet is "the
only thing putting teeth in the
Kellogg peace pact"
Seven new naval vessels are
due for completion by next July
/. These must be manned at the
cost of reducing the personnel on
other vessels, since there is no al
lowance for additional personnel
and the rotating reserve scheme
is to be extended to both light
and heavy cruisers, said the Ad.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 9.-Ad-
vocating a uniform divorce law,
at q luncheon Of the Lawyers

Joseph N. Ulman proved himself
both idealist and cynic.

have never been revised to meet
modern demands.
Law Century Old
Judge Ulman declared:
"Here I'm Maryland we have
seen o tremendous increase in
the incidence Of divorce, and
this In spite Of the fact that
the strict provisions Of our
century.Old law remain unal-
tered.
"The law of divorce as we
have come to administer it Is
utterly unreal. Worse than
that, it iS full Of Hypocrisy and
cant. We 60 through the form
Of contest when everybody con.
cerned knows there Is no con-

signs the decree.

account Of the wants and the
needs and the aspirations Of

an honest bill, and take 1t to

OAKvILLE

The Oakville Fire District tax for the year 1882 becomes due and payable on August 15. 1892. Taxes unpaid on September 15, 1892. will bear interest at the rate of per cent per annum from August 18th, 1882. The 1882 tax is 1 S-1O mills on the assessed values of October 1, 1881. Collector will be at Byrnes Drug Store on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from zoo o'clock to 800 o'clock. D. $. T.. from August 18th, 1892. to September 14th, 1892, and on Thursday evening, September 18th, 1892, at the same hour.
 It is earnestly hoped that tax payers of the Oakville Fire Dis trict will pay their tax due August 18th, 1892. as promptly as possi- ble.
 It will be noted that in spite of the increased expenses of the dis- trict that the rate of taxation re- mains the same, 1 8-1O mills on the dollar.
 The old appropriation balance of $885. which was set aside Tor curbing has been entirely used on the districts share of the Buck ingham street job which begins at Main street and ends at the inter- section of Hungerford avenue.
 Tn addition to this. $226 was spent for the proposed OakviIle Fire District Charter The ac- ceptance of this charter has not been acted upon, but will be again brought up at an adjourned meet ing of the district which will be held at South school on the eve ming of September 20. 1882. If this charter is acted upon favor ably, 1t may mean it's presentation before the 1898 session of the state legislature. The cost of the progress of a Charter of this type through the state legislature has not been determined.
 In addition to the above men, tioi.ed expenses the cost of light- Ing of streets was considerably in- creased in 1881 due entirely to the increased number of lights in ops eration and to the increased strength of tho lights.
 Formerly all of the lights were of 800 iumens strength and the district operated q total Of 1ey6 lights. During the year 1881 the minimum strength of the ilGhtl were increased Co 1000 iumens ana at important traffic points the dls- trict is now operating same lights Of $500 lumens capacity and few of 5000 iumens strength. The total of the district lights were also increased Co i32.
 In view Of the ezrIanailon givsn pensns and added Co this q depict ed treasury it wIli be readily seen that iAxes must be paid as aiIekly nH possible io Avoid tho necessity ef htaIiinK off creditors until che money comes tns

Philadelphia. Aug 3.-UP)- The fake marriage of a New York night club entertainer to a self styled English lord. landed front page publicity stories with art to- day in most of Philadelphia news- papers.
 The hoax was conceived by a former New York newspaperman, who now acts as publicity agent for the entertainment program of a Philadelphia hotel.
 Loking through a copy of Whitakers Almanac. year book for the British empire, the press agent found the name of the Earl of Guilford, whose family name Is North. The eldest son was mem tioned as Lord North" born in 1902. His full name is Frederic Lionel George Effingham North"
 It was then necessary to find an unemployed British subject tall handsome and "lordly" looking. This was easy on Broadway.

Mayor to Report
 Bridge Status
Board Passes Homestead
 Project Over to Chief

Mayor Frank Hayes will report on the status of the Homestead avenue bridge project, himself, 1t was stated last night at the regu- lar meeting of the board of works. The board entrusted the mayor with the task of reporting on the progress made to date on the proposed bridge. This action was taken in response to a vote passed Monday night by the aldermen asking that the information be procured of the works board.
 The Homestead avenue bridge has been the subject of much ne- gotiating for the past few years. The city is ready to go ahead with the project, 1t is understood, but is being held up by the Mattatuck Manufacturing Company which wons dam in the street over which the bridge must go. Ger tain matters pertaining to rental and liability are yet t obe ironed out, 1t is understood, between the city and the manufacturing con- cern.
 A vote was passed by the works commissioners recommending that sewers be installed in Thomaston avenue. from Homer to Driggs street, in Sheffield street and in 'Driggs street. The matter will now go before the finance board and the aldermen. The three sewers are necessary to better health con- ditions in the district, especially on Driggs street. The Driggs street sewer was originally or dered by Dr E. J. Godfrey, city health officer, but the other sew CTS are necessary in order to pro- vide a connection with the Thom- aston avenue sewer.
 The Blake and Johnson Com pany opposed the sewers while the Scovill Manufacturing Company reported that while its concern will not benefit from the sewers no op- position would be entered because of the recognized need of the im- provement.
 The water committee was in- structed to study the need of a water main in Waverly street while to the sewer committee was re- ferred a petition for a lateral in Templeton street. The street com mittee will study the need of temporary surface relief for Neill street. A delegation from that street was on hand last night to urge the work. Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming and Mayor Hayes were given power to act" on petitions for the oiling of Bradley avenue and Francis street.
 The Park Departments request that the East Mountain road be graded so as to make a better ap- proach to the new municipal golf course was referred to the mayor and street committee with power to act" The street committee was instructed to investigate the need of a storm water sewer in Walnut street extension so as to form a drain for surface water which gathers on the property of the Woodrow Wilson school.
