SAVIN ROCK CAFES MUST CLOSE AT 11 'Selectmen Act Following Receipt { ol Petition From 150 Citizens New Haven, Feb. 20.—Savin Rock, so far as the cafes and saloons are concerned, will be closed at 11 p. m. every night during the coming sea- son. Not only will the Rock be closed, but every saloon in the center f the town must also close at the same hour as there can be no dis- tinction between the town and ‘the Rock taverns. The closing order was made at a meeting of the Board of Selectmen held Friday afternoon and was trans- mitted to the saloonkeepers, the po+ lice and others interested, yesterday afternoon. It immediately created a furore among those who hold licenses at the shore. The last hour at night is usually the heaviest hour of trade in the liquor business at the shore. Before 11 o'clock visitors at the shore are either doing «the various ‘‘stunts” or at the theaters, and the liquor men have had to depend greatly on the time between the c¢losing of the shows and the attractions for their income. As it is costing them about $815 a vear to hold their licenses they feel that an injustice has been done them and as soon as the rotice, informally though effectively, was given them they started a move for a town meet- ing to discuss the matter. A town meeting has the power to override the action of the selectmen, if it sees fit to do so. Petition Signed by 150.. Selectman John Wilkinson, who is chairman of the board that passed the order, was called by ’phone by, one of the saloonmen and askéd about the order. He said it was passed follow- ing a petition signed by 150 residents of the town. When asked why the sa- loonmen interested had not been noti- fled of such a petition. and been given a chance to be heard, he stated that the state law gave the officers of any town the_power to order the closing of saloons at any time between 10 o’clock and midnight, and that the board had simply acted under its rights, following the petition. The curtailment of the <«our on -the cafes also hits many of the con- cessionists at the Rock, and although few of jhem are hereabouts now, those who have all-the-year-round residences there, were loud in their denunciation of the selectmen’s ruling | “without their being given a chance to /be heard. The cutting down of an hour of the night by closing the cafes, they feel, will also . result in cutting off their revenues, and as they have to pay a license to the town they are much incensed at what they call the high handed action of the select- men. The order, it was said last night, will mean the loss of thousands of dollars worth of business to the cafe men at the shore during the sum- mer. Chief Loomis received notifi- cation of the order yesterday, and was ordered to enforce the new rule after March 1. SILVER MACE FOR CANADA.

London, Feb. 20.—Women bargain hunters who have been going over the offerings in the new year bargain sales find this year an average in- crease of thirty per cent. in woolens, silks and shoes, as compared with the bargain Prices of a year ago. One of the big department stores has its counters decorated with notices informing shoppers that ewing to the shortage of dress material, this month is probably the last time that it will be possible to offer any materials' on the bargain counters. Women Too Ambitious, Excessive ambition leads all sorts of women to exert themselves bevond their strength. The girl striving for honors in school, the busy housewife, the shop-girl, the society climber or leader, all avertax their natural powers of endurance. Then come nervous troubles, backaches, head- aches, frequently organic troubles, which reduce them almost to despair Women suffering thus should fi recognize the necessity of putting on the brakes and slowing down.

Washington, Feb. 2Q-—Secretary Baker sent a letter of Yhanks yes- terday to the commanders of all Na- tional Guard units which saw service on the Mexican border. “I wish to thank you and the officers and men of your organization,” wrote the secretary, ‘for the valuable service which you have rendered to the coun- try. “When the National Guard was called into the service of the Federal government the lives of men, women and children along the frontier were in grave danger owing to the formid- able bandit raids from the Mexican side of the border. It is not too much to say that had these raids continued there was danger of international war. “From .the time of the arrival of the units of the National Guard on the border the raids ceased, and the tension between the two countries be- ban to relax. “It is the hope and belief of the government that the presence of :the unies of the National Guard, together with the units of the regular army, on the border and in Mexico, and the presence in mobilization camps. of the units of the National Guard, in readiness for such service, has made possible a peaceful solution of a dif- ficult *and threatening problem.” PARIS DOCTORS INCREASE FEES.

JUSTICE ASSURED T0 ALL PENSIONERS, L¢ague Formed to Push Claims of Warriors or Dependants 90! 101 104 | London, Feb. 20.—What is practi- cally a trade union of soldiers and | sailors and their dependents entitled to pension or separation allowance has | just been organized. It is called the Naval and Military War Pensions and ‘Welfare league. Its objects are to prevent carruption in the administra- tion of pensions and to see that jus- tice is done to pensioners in “this and other wars.” Some idea of the power that the new organization may wield in the affairs of the nation may be gained from the fact that there will be 5, 000,000 discharged soldiers and sailors who form at least half the electorate of the country, The league was launched by J. M. Hogge, the chairman of the pensions committee of the house of commons, who was entrusted by the government with the task of finding a solution of some of the difficulties already con- fronting the dependents of men who had given their lives in. the war. Thousands of people complained that they had been overlooked by the pen- sions department and returned sol- diers, incapacitated by injury, were not getting allowances. * The league is the modst comprehen- slve scheme yet suggested for dealing with the pensions problem. It is pro- posed that membership shall, for sums varying from six pence (12 cents) to one, pound, be open to all directly as- sociated with the issue of pensions— that is potentially the whole of the army and navy—to their wives and de- pendents, and to anyone else who is interested in the welfare of the sol- diers and sailors. The objects of the league include those of ‘representing the returned soldier in parliament,” “ watching the administration of pen- sions,” protecting the future interests Ir)'f pensioners,” and 605 | pensions for this and other wars. may be gained from { recommendations: scale of pensions “organizing Some idea of the scape of the leag] the follow! That ' there should be a minim from which one should fall. A That the scale should be elastic that the pension should fit the and not the man the pension.

That a mother should be entitled | receife from the state the support t she Avould have recelved from her s if she had not lost him in the war.
