A large attendance is expected at the Elks Clubhouse Tuesday evening, November 9th, at which time an election Party will be held in connection with a special social program featuring an address by the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, Judge Floyd E.. Thompson of Moline, Illinois.
 Judge Thompson's message es- tablishes a precedent as 1t will be the first time that Grand Exalt- ed Ruler of the order employs the medium of an electrical tran scription to talk to all of the 1,50O Elks clubs throughout the United States at one time. The address will be given precisely at II p. m, which is the hour of special signif- icance for the Elks.
 In addition to @ delightful pro- gram of social activities, the mem- bers will hear a minute-b. minute broadcast of the latest election re- turns and the fine spirit of fair play to which the Order af Elks Is dedicated, being strictly non- political and non-sectarian assures all who attend, a most enjoyable evening. "No matter who twins" says Exalted Ruler R. L. Pala- tine, "it is going to be fine party. The Order of Elks has no political preference, but instead is pledged to, a 100 per cent Americanism which accepts the choice of the people and Loyalty supports that choice"
 It is anticipated that Judge Thompson's address will be both interesting and informative as he is considered to be one of the na- tion's outstanding speakers, a rec ord which he earned in his tenure of many important elective offices of his state, the last of which was

 This year, however, the Seven Service Days" of Girl Scout week begin with Sunday, October 23rd when Girl Scouts win turn out for church parades, attending services of the religions they personally profess. The balance of the week will be devoted to demonstrations varied Girl Scout program and exemplify the Girl Scout promise and laws.

 Demonstrations of Girl Scout handicraft which includes every. thing from puppet-making to bead work will occupy all of Tuesday.

OVER 2,OOO NEW
 VOTERS SWORN
The Registrars Pleased Over Work of the Past
 Week
DEMOCRATS IN LEAD

Registrars of Voters Henry O'Connor and Thomas F. Dillane and the town chairmen of the two local major parties today expressed complete satisfaction with the total number of new electors sworn in during the past week. The period for being sworn in closed last night at 8 o'clock with a total of 2,215 new voters made. This was really beyond all expectations.
 Yesterday was the biggest day with a total of 440 new voters sworn in during the day. Workers of both parties made one last. con- certed effort to bring in as many prospective electors as possible yes- terday and succeeded fairly well, judging from the figure at closing time.
 Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary today made the claim that his party made more of the new voters than did the republican organization. Republican leaders received this claim coo1ly, however, and asserted that they felt they had turned in the greater number of those made" ..
 Registrars O'Connor and Dillane today expressed appreciation for the smooth manner in which the board of registration handled the work of swearing in the new elec- tors. S+ta

Announce New
 Plymouth Six
Expected at Blue Ribbon
 Garage Within Few
 Weeks

Persistent rumors that new Plymouth car shortly to be an- nounced would be six cylinder automobile of lower price than that of current Plymouth models, was confirmed here to-day by The Blue Ribbon Garage, Inc.
 Although no definite announce ment date was named, the new cars will make their appearance here within Q few weeks.
 "The new Plymouth Six," is the product of new era of automobile manufacture. The recent economic stress has stimulated the progress of automotive design far ahead of the amount of advance usually achieved in any three year period. Machine tool manufacturers have volunteered more new designs re- gently than usual. Machine tool design has kept pace with the de- mand for finer but more econom- ical manufacturing methods. In- tricate machines that operate to al- most unbelievable dimensions are now available. Amplifying gauges that literally split hairs not once but many times. are a part of the general production scheme.
 "Thus the engineering laboratory model may be reproduced in the commercial produce with absolute accuracy. The Plymouth Six is a product of these new conditions. Only these recent developments permit the production of a car of so low a price and the quality of past Plymouths with many new features. The mammoth Plymouth plant in Detroit has been com completely re-tooled. Millions of dollars have been spent for new machinery"
 At the request of factory officials. the local dealer is not yet announc- ing the specific features of this new Plymouth. However. he stated the new Plymouth Six is full-size. full-tread car and 1t retains the features which distinguished 1t predecessor - namely. Floating Power. automatic clutch, Free Wheeling, easy-shift silent second transmission. all-steel body. rigid x frame and six cylinder engine of Chrysler Motors exclusive de- sign and build.
 "The new Plymouth Six" is more over, beautiful car, skilfully de- signed to combine the most popular beauty and style elements found ordinarily only in cars of much higher price range.
 "We have not been informed as yet of the exact price of this new motor car. hut we know that it will bear the lowest price ever placed on Chrysler Motors product" says the Blue Ribbon Garage.

Gambling Basic
 Cause of Crime
Howard McLelland Tells Why Boys Wind Up
 as Criminals

Movies, prohibition and the great war are not the causes of the crime waves that have been prevalent in the past 15 years in the country. Howard McLelland, author and lecturer, declared last night in an address delivered at the YMCA. The title of his talk was Boys. Gangs and Crime" Gambling, he said, is the basic cause of crime waves here. In past years. he add ed, jails housed only older men but today boys between 16 and 25 make up the largest percentage of the criminals. They steal and rob money and have no use for 1t ex- cept to pay gambling debts or to continue in that business.
 The speaker mentioned several of the we'll known gamblers and rack cteers and the amounts of money they have withdrawn from circu- lation.
