Women Voters To Support Bills

Merit system in public service ar- pointments, a better food and drug law, and neutrality legislation aimed to keep the United States out of war, will be "the big three" in the 1886 federal legislative program of the National League of Women V0t- CTS.
 The league will seek in the com- ing congressional session, accord~ ing to announcement by Miss Mar guerite M. Wells, president, extel1- sion of the merit system throughout the federal service, to include all poStlnasterS and others in emer~ gency and newly-created agencies under civil service. League nlen1- bers believe, Miss Wells said today, that legislation to establish the merit system and eliminate spells practices must be passed if sta1l- dards of public service are to be raised and waste and inefdciency eradicated.
 "In urging some form of netItral- ity legislation, Miss Wells said, "the league membership will be guided by a study now being made of va rious neutrality proposals. Fore most, it is anxious to support a neutrality measure designed specifi- cally to keep the United States out of war, but which definitely will not obstruct peace efforts of other nations.
 "The league already has started its work for favorable action by the house on the pending Copeland food and drug bill, the passage of which we believe will be concrete bene- fit to the much discussed and neg Iected consumer. We believe the question at issue is whether our laws shall give people the protec- tion they need, or whether legisla- tion shall be prevented by those who are unwilling to sacrifice their own convenience or interests to the well fare of the general public"
 MT. and Mrs. Giacomo Lombardi of Washington, D. C., formerly from this city, entertained at their home on Thanksgiving day. The guests included: Miss Mollie Petrocelli, the Misses Emelia, Concetta and Mary Rosanelli, Attilio Di Nicola, Michael Mandino, all from this city, and Count Antonio Alberti-Poja of Rome, Italy.

FIVE BEEN AROUND"
 COMING TO COLISEUM

There were many embarrassing moments on the set at Universal Studios during the filming of I've Been Around" a picture starring Chester Morris, which opens at the Coliseum Theatre Sunday
 The embarrassment arose from the fact that the "stand-in' for Rochelle Hudson, Morris leading lady, looks so much like Miss Hud- son that you can't tell them apart unless you know them very well. A "stand-in," in case you don't know the term, is a person who stands under the bright lights in front of the camera while the cam era is being focused and the lights set This saves the star from be- coming tired and leaves her fresh for her work.

$594.79, and the disbursements totaled
$589.18, leaving balance in the bands
fund of 1851. The band still owes $25

recently pulled out all of the Spitzen
berg apple trees on the ranch and he
offered to give all that could be used
to the church if the men would come
and get it.
The crew cut and trimmed the trees
in the orchard and then took them to
the A. G. Wade place where Mr.. Wade
sawed it all. 1t was then hauled to
the church, Harold Keen doing the
trucking At noon the men were served
hearty dinner which the women of

resulted in between three and four
cords of apple wood, enough to last
for two years.
