The Democratic club or
ganizations of Licking coun-
ty may have suffered a set
back at the last election,
but one would not have
known it at the regular
meetings of both the Mems
and Women's clubs Friday
night in the party's head
quarters located at the cor
ner of Fourth and West
Main streets.
Enthusiasm was apparent in
the election of officers, plans of
cooperation for solidarity, and
in the mastering of forces for
counter attack.
New president of the Mems
club is Joe Dolan, elected by ac-
clamation. John Penick was
reelected vice president; How
ard Fleming, secretary-treasur-
ing reelected secretary-treasur-
err, and William Loos, sergeant
alarms. Jesse Chappelear was
returned to the office of trustee
for three years. Trustees hold
ing over are John Spillman and
Glen Lawyer.

floor in the interest Of coopera-
ton and pledging harmony were

tor, Joe Dolan, president-elect, P.
w. Faust and Jesse Chappelear.
Mayor Lockwood in his re-
marks stated that the general
fund of the city of Newark
would have a surplus to start
the New Year with, instead of a
deficit as he was faced with at
the time he took office.
"You can depend on it that
the service and safety depart
ments have been operated on
businesslike basis. Furthermore,
that when the service depart
ment pledges to do a job you
can depend upon its being done,'
concluded the mayor.
Women's Club
Mrs. Ivan M. Roberts was
named president of the Women's
organization, succeeding Mrs.
Cyrus Mckinney; Mrs. Iric
Swartz, first vice president;
nellie Gallagher, second vice
president; Mrs. Esther Munich,

wood, treasurer.
Following the meetings the
two clubs enjoyed joint social
session with refreshments being
served.
With the next regular meet
ing night falling on New Years
Day the next sessions of the or
ganizations were deferred until
Friday, Jan. 8, 1912.

During the meeting Solicitor
Holtsberry reminded members
of the litigation and effort
made in 1887 to get a reduc-
ton in the rate saying, 81 will
do everything in my power to
see that the present rate is
maintained in the interest of
the people of Newark"
The solicitor also reminded
council of the efforts of the New
ark Federation of Labor to get
the reduction at that time.
All councilmen voted "yes" on
the Consumers Gas company or
dinance, and all members but
Councilman Payne voted "yes"
on the Ohio Fuel Gas company
rate legislation. Mr.. Payne did
not vote because he felt the

hearing on the legislation before

Present Gas Rates

Rehbeck and Payne increased the
number of clerks in the city wa
terworks office by one, and re-
classified certain other employees.
The legislation merely gave Of
ficial sanction to action taken
previously by the service depart
ment which found it necessary
to add additional help to take
care of increased accounts. A
letter from the state examiner
was read to council, suggesting
the change in the interest of ef-
ficiency and economy. His com.
munication pointed out that the
Newark waterworks office has
the "best record in the state on
the collection of delinquent ac-
counts"

Newark citizens will be inter-

"stop order" of President Roose-

small amount of asphalt yet to

terial was in and granted before
the order was given. The street
cannot be finished, however, un-
til the company releases the

Is 1t Worth 1t?

A prankster removes a
light bulb, perhaps to dark
en- the corner where he and
his girl friend sit in a
crowded and gaily decorated
night club. The merry
makers riding on the crest
of a Saturday night celebra-
tion, are laughing, dancing,
enjoying themselves with
out thought of impending
adoom. A bus boy lights a
match to see to replace the
bulb. A palm tree ignites
and the next moment
screams of terror and agony
bursts from the throats of
a thousand human beings as
scorching, soaring flames
shoot from one end to the
other of the Cocoanut Grove
night club in Boston.
Half the merrymakers die
in their mad scramble for
safety, other hundreds lie
burned and injured in hos
pitals, fighting for their
lives.
The foregoing tragedy is
familiar to every radio list
ener and headline reader in
America. Why did it hap
pen? Because someone un-
thinkingly played a practi-
cal joke-and picture the
consequences.
Is there not a lesson to be
learned by every one of us
from the foregoing tragic
disaster?
We Americans are all too
prone to play pranks which
may afford merriment for
the moment,-but that same
prank might result directly
or Indirectly, to some dire
consequence, not only to the
individual or individuals
concerned, but, perhaps, as
in the case of the Boston
tragedy, the loss of life to
hundreds of fellow human
beings.
We know there are those
who without thinking, play
many tricks in the spirit of
fun, on their closest friends,
~-in factories, offices and
homes, for the purpose of
securing a laugh at the mo-
amentary embarrassment of
THE person at hand. There
are limitations in some Or
ganizations and fraternities,
which may have such an eff
feet on the subjects nervous
temperament, or even his
physical self, that irrepara-
BILE harm is done.
That has happened more
than once.
In the light of the recent
tragedy we should all think
seriously of these things
and ask ourselves:
Is 1T WORTH TT?

BEAUTY
NEA Service Staff Writer

Smartly turned out career women usually allow half an hour for morning beauty and grooming routires-and they'll do that all the more systematically now when the day is more crowded. It's fool proof efficiency measure.
 It isn't possible to take show CT, dress carefully, apply cosmetics as they deserve to be put on, and comb the hair properly, in less time than this. You may be able to dress in five or six minutes. If your cloget and dresser drawers always are in good order, there's no reason why you should not. This leaves fifteen minutes for brushing teeth, shower followed by good brisk rubdoWn, and ten minutes for making up.
 Time spent in making up is the time saved later on. Quickly ap- piled cosmetics won't stay on long at any rate, they won't giorify you for long. If you take time to smooth and blend foundation film into the skin, it will hold powder in place for hours. And if, after blending cream rouge on the cheeks, you press on powder generously, all low it to set for few minutes, and then whisk off surplus with tissue or a brush, both rouge and powder vii stay with you until time for your pre-lunch cleaning But dust a bit of powder on quickly, pass a rouge puff lightly across the cheeks
