OVER
 MEETING DATES
Community Club Slated for Second, Fourth Tuesday
 Evenings of Month
Washington Hill

washington Park Community club held meeting last evening at the Community House. For the benefit of the readers of the Democrat who wonder why notice was not in this column about the meetlng,-as the rule is every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, instead of the first and third Tuesday-nat- urally last evening was not the reg ular meeting night for the club and for this reason, notification was not printed for last evening. With out 8 doubt, the president has the right to call meeting when ne sees fit, but it doesn't appear prop CT, that meeting should be called without the officers being notified.
 Plans were made to have mem orials for past members in the form of placque. Discussions about the dinner dance also were brought up and no doubt a special meeting will be called to act on the dance, as of course, the next regular meeting will not be until the second week in November.
 The Frivolity Club held their weekly Tuesday night card game last evening at the home of Mrs Charles Bringman, in the form of an "Old Fashioned Dress Rehears- al." Each member came dressed up in the oldest costumes they could resurrect from old trunks and ate tics. If prizes were awarded 1t would have been a hard task for the judges to decide which one de- served the prize.
 Among those present were Mrs. Leddy, Miss Mae Holleran, Mrs. J. Kane, Mrs. Francis X. Bergin, Mrs. Arthur Kennedy, Miss Rita Ken- nedy, Mrs. M. Commerford and Ag- nes Bringman.
 The Boy Scouts, Troop g, Wash ington Park Community club, will hold their regular weekly meeting tonight at o'clock, at the Com munity House.
 Ladies Guild, St. Francis Xavier, will hold meeting this evening at the parish hall at 8 o'clock.

List Of Moderators
 To Be Submitted d By
 Both Major Parties
Nearly 900 Names Expected to Be On Printed Lists Representing Largest Number of Eligible Voters
 in City's History

ing the age of 2l between the last day of regular sessions for making voters and election day will be sworn in.
 Registrars Derwin and Taller will ask chairmen of the party town committees for lists of moderators and other election workers within the next few days. Under the rule of each party alternating in mod orators, the Democrats this year will have the nloderators in the odd numbered districts and the Repub- licans those in the even-numbered districts. This means that the chief moderator, who is the moderator from District Ia, will be Q Demo- crat.
 The voting list Is expected to con- tain about 47,000 names, the larg- est total ever eligible for a city election, but the exact number will not be known until after the list has been returned from the print CTS.
 The general lack of interest in the election indicates a compara- lively light vote Nov. 4, but devel- opments in the period between now and election might arouse the vot- CTS enough to bring a turnout com- parable to that of recent city elec- tions.
 Registrar Derwin said today that about l,500 names were added to the voting list during the final check-up. About half of these, he said, were voters who appeared at the office to have their addresses corrected, while the other half con- sisted of voters sworn in during the closing days of the last regis- tration period.

builders have been asked not
to deliver their products to any
customer after Feb. %, unless the
customer obtained a priority rating
from the Office OF production man
agement.
The effect of this action, Stettin-
ius explained, will be to give the
defense program first call on the
productive capacity of the machine
tool industry. Lack of machine tools
has been considered a bottleneck
in current defense production.
Stettinius' request, 1T was believed,
was bound to affect production of
new automobile models for 1912.
When the tool rationing system
goes into effect, officials said, ma
chine tools will pe available only
to industries working on defense
contracts, except possibly in cases
where replacement is urgently need
ed for an essential industry produc-
ing for civilian needs.
Customers for machine tools will
have to apply to the priorities divi-
