The council ha .decided that no ad
Cltional fir imcke shall be purcbeaed
in 1917 and this means that no truck
will be installed in the Sunnyalde dis
trict. An item for the purchas of a
book and ladder truck was originally
in the budget-estimates. It waa among
the first Items to be eliminated. Later
a delegation of east aiders sought
to have the item for a truck replaced
fin the estimates.

Franklin T. Griffith ran away front

strong; enougb to brave the rigors of a
mild November day, despite bis 1st at
tack of pneumonia.
Bulletins from bis bome earlier in
the day had said bo would not be back
at bis office for at least 10 days. Bu(
tbe president ot the Portland Railway,
Light A Power company, fooled every
bodyeven the trained nurse who has
been attending him..
When Mr. Griffith bad" greeted bis
official family at the office after bis
clandestine arrival from home, a
smartly-gowned young woman rushed
into the outer office.
"Where is Mr. Oriffithr she de
manded. "Mr. Griffith is in,- she was told.
"He is not attending to business Just
now." f
"I should say he Isn't," replied the
young woman. "I'm his nurse and if
he tries to attend to business I cant
be responsible for what happen."
Then ahe.acalmly walked Into the '

said: I
"It's time you went home." f
He went.
Americans in British
Service Expatriated
Oath of Allegiance to Crown Wipe
Ont T7. 8. OltUenahip; Tho With

Washington. Nov. 2. (U. P.) Any
American who fights for England In j
the present war expatriates himself, j
The state department made this clear .
in connection with its action in ref us- 1
lng' a passport to Theodore Marburg
Jr. of Baltimore, who Is returning to
England to rejoin the royal aviation
corpa. Marburg Is the son of the
former United States minister to Bel
glum. ExD&triation results from the fact
that all British, soldier must take tbe
oath of allgelance to the British
crown which, in th case of Ameri
cans, wipes out their allegiance to this
country.
As for Americans fighting with the
foreign legions of the French army,
the department made known that the
burden will rest upon them to prove
the oath thejt have taken has not
expatriated them.
Even after peace Is declared, those
who return to this country in desti
tute 'circumstance will be treated a
ordinary alien Immigrants.
It was learned today also that the
state department has suggested to th
French government that it disoontlnue
referring to the American aviator
with the French army as members of
tbe American corps owing to the false
light in which- such references place
the United States as a neutral nation.

POSSIBLY you never astonished your
elders in quite the way Handel did, but
after all there is not much difference be
tween the greatest musicians and the average
man. You, like they, have musical feeling
which seeks expression. To satisfy your mus
ical desires, you need an instrument that re
sponds directly to your musical feeling.
