There Is only one public hali avail- able for the custoenary fafrs that are given almost annually by local organ- izations, and In consequence a sort of hold-up is said to be, the result. This hell is not a large " on€, not large enough for any of the old-time fairs that depended upgn profits from the mmitt ted to where the articles were dislayed in finely arranged and attractive booths. By the way, fairs of that description are not held nowadays. Tq get into gavé them to understand The mayor O R eTab ag| this hall the people must climb stairs t 1 a pretty 800 b 'um? to the tiird story of the building. The 1 the presen i regular lesse of this hall has fall steady work and good. year in and year knowledge that he has, so to speak, the goose that lays the golden egg for the socloties that. want to pull off a fair in the present way. The rent of this hall is $50-a night for fairs, a rental much higher than was ever charged for much Jarger and better equipped halls in .the times when the Lawrence and other public halls were available. But one remedy is for the soolety to make a deal with a professional prometer of fairs, per- haps a silent partner or something of that sort with some one conected with the ownership or leasing of the ham, This promoter will pull off the fair on a fifty-fitty basis. That is he will furnish the hall and all the accessories at cost, and with the'aid and support of the committee and members of the society promote the fair and share tne profits. The fair must be given under the auspices of the seciety, and so far shine Whe your mouth tastes like all the mean g thm::ynu ever d:; mixed together, b3 you need Beecham's Vour mouth is a good indication 2 condjtion of stomach and bowels.

Another remedy sight, and_the management of the monopoly hall is ng. the sun shines, which is perfecti legitimate, provided the other fellows do not object. The Lawrence and the Miller halls are now in course of construction. and .hen these are completed the fairs are lifble to trend towards these halls, and that's the real remedy. The police fioodlight is on again, for soon after the city government men turncd down the request. for 1ncre$= in pay and-working conditions of the. menmbers of the police department out comés a published statement to the effect that the request was made by a couple of cops on their own, volition and {hat they did not represent the other members of the department. Now what do you know about that? There ‘was not a peep from any cop against the proposition, and every one of them would have gladly welcomed a raise in pay; but just as soon as the project failed, out comes the clubmen and de- clare the committee of policemen were self-appointed and “only : represen themselves! -According to the Sstate- ment made in public print, these same slacking cops, jarrot-like, use the words of Mayor Morgan and state that if cops who asked for the increase were not satisfied it would be well for them to lay down their badges and clubs and seek other.employment. And{ that is what is termed gratitude. | Civil engineer etiquette | aside, and after many w. committee of the co il civil engineer from Water] by name, with the expectation of prov- ing that the council was right in dis. craditing the board of water and se er commissioners and the civil engi- neer and superintendent of water works, in_the matter of securing & needed additional water supply.

Tt hag Don’t forget this. Endurance must always be the most im- periant automobile quality. It is not appearance, speed, hill-climbing or acceleration, though the Super-Six leads in all these. Lock at the records. that are worth while. proof ? But speed records are not nearly as im- poriant as are those which prove endurance. Many tests are required, to be considered final proef. Look at these. * A Hudson stock chassis was drivén 1819 miles in 24 hours. The b;:t previous record fell 347 miles short of that. The greatest endurance test ever made was that of the Hudson double trans-conti- nental run. The 7000 miles was covered in 10 days and 21 hours. It was the only round fi test ever completed and the dis- tance way between San Francisco and New York was made in less time than any other car has ever done.
