In this process economy was
"only an important by product."
' "Our real aim 13 to remove tie
seereey, the riralry,, the mutual

tends the precedent cf competi
tion in armament and to leave
. ach nation free to have an ade
quate national defense which will
jet not be a source of worry and
suspicion to Its neighbors."
The meeting was not without
a. very human incident of inter
ruption. The British dirigible
iR-100, slipping through the haze
lover London, attracted the atten
tion of the delegates with the
steady hum of her motor, and
the statesmen went to have a look
J at her.
j The delegates agreed thai

j be elected chairman of the con
lerence tomorrow. After the in
1 augural session they will adjourn

On no similar important occa

pageantry of a royal trip to West

flowed into the surrounding streets. The heads
of the two reigning houses to be united by the

Crown Prince Humbert of Italy made their joint

less sacrifice.

his troop. Their initial appearance
was the past Saturday night and
they met with an enthusiastic re
ception. Dancing, singing, and
banter proved pleasing diversions,
and has made the offering for
this coming Saturday night, "Oh

troop promises new songs, new
dances and new specialties for this
production.
A musical comedy has not been
listed among Salem's amusements
for a long time and it should
prove a welcome addition to the
list of theatre attractions.

chance to see him again in any

any human to be funnier than he

Today Is th first day for Zieg

man Ziegfield has made the idea
of reviews an old one because he
has been presenting "reviews" In
the extravagant "Follies" for the
past many years, and in them he
has been making stars jnst as
the recent screen "reviews" has
been making stars Winnie Light
ner, Marie Dressier, and many
others were not taking many good
breaks until they appeared at
their best in one or more reviews.
Now they are signing big con
tracts. It will be interesting to see
what Ziegfield, the man of the
stage, does with the screen.
Remember that today is the
last time for Ruth Chatterton ia
the powerful "Madame XM at the
Hollywood. This play ia really too
good to miss not only the play.

"That bridge has more capacity

was chairman ot the bridge com
mittee last year.
"That may be. There Is not
enough clearance under that
bridge either," Mr. Dancy re
sponded. It the water had not
backed up from the Winter street
bridge, it would have been flood
ed back from the Cottage street
bridge, he said. He added that he
had never been in favor of con
structing bridges with concrete
beams.
"Did - you consider jacking the
bridges up to let the water
through?" asked Alderman Henry
Vandevort.
"So, we did not consider that,"
Mr. Dancy replied.
"Will it be necessary to put
pipes around all of those
bridges?" Mayor T. A. Livesley
wanted to know.
Mr. Dancy ventured the opinion
that if the Winter street bridge
could be made adequat to carry
the water now, the next hir.h
water period would reveal what
the other bridges would need.
The bridge committee's investi
gation revealed that the base
ment in the home of Mrs. F.
Ethel Laue was flooded to the
depth of three feet, damaging a
large quantity of fueL The yards
of all tl 3 homes in the vicinity
of Mill creek at Summer -street
were washed away, together with
their improvements in the way of

The damages listed by the com
plainants were: Mrs. Laue, 1 65;
W. F. Poorman, $25; P. A. Eiker,

N. C. Kafoury, 320; H. C. Ep
pley, 325.
When the damage was first re
ported, persons who had consis
tently defended the work of the
bridge enginers, claimed It was
due to the contractor's negli
gence. The report made by the
new. bridge committee Monday
night contradicts this. The dam
age claims were referred to the
committee and the city attorney.
