Ordin arily the official car is attached te the end af the train, but this time it was connected forward, the third car from tha engine.

L. Wilkinson on a sadden business call made it un wise to recommend the passage of tha ordinance at last night's ses sion. . In a pre-session caucus a poll of lha alderman left it doubtful whether or not tha necessary eight votes for passage were at hand. "The opponents In this vacation matter are lika tha defendants in a court action; we are never am tous to have a case tried." said John Barns in expressing the sen timent of his clientele. Patton Alone in Becking Showdown Alderman Patton appeared anx ious to ret the Trade street vaca tion oat In tha open and settled. Only Alderman Dancy s fast work in moving' adjournment tha mo ment the routine bills had been at tended to, staved off action by Patton. Had Patton been able to get a motion in ahead of the motion by Dancy, ha might have forced with a majority of councllmea present, the Trade street vacation from tha ordinance committee and had it before the council on final vote. Tha proponents of street va cation felt their causa was weak ened by the absence of Townsend and Wilkinson and were lined np behind Dancy to hold the matter over to the next council meeting. Aside from tha Trade street va cation matter, and the harried council manoueverlng about It, the first September session of tha al derman was as quiet as a summer vacation. O'Hara Refuses To O. K. Bills Routine bills were hurriedly disposed of The only hitch came when Alderman O'Hara refused to approve bills for expenditure in connection with the proposed pur chase of the water company. O'Hara also refused his approval to some incinerator bills and a bill for $209 for water used for fire hydrants during the last 12 months. He likewise objected to bills of the Salem Laundry com pany, claiming laundry work for the city should be let by contract. Alderman Dancy fait O'Hara's failure to approve some of tbo bills uncalled tor and snapped: "I'm not in tha habit of approving bills unless they are correct." O Hara refused to approve the bills and Dancy moved they be referred to the committees through which they first passed. The motion carried.

The play is based on tha World War, a subject which has become very popular for screen subjects of late, bnt It is entirely different from any one of Its predecessors for it Is sheer foolishness with the Inimitable fun ef Moraa and Mack, War sones are shown bat the antics of Moran and Mack make one realise that nothing shown is even trying to ba seri ous, therefore one can laugh and enjoy oneself. Tha children in the audience Wednesday afternoon wer equaling with mirth while their elders chuckled and burst out into big laughs. A bit of lore element ties the plot together in pleasing fashion, and the part that Moran and Mack play in it reminds one of the appealing tenderness there was In certain scenes ia "Two Black Crows." It Is hard to say which is most amusing what these two black comedians say as they go through the play or their mannerisms, and it really is not necessary to de cide, yon will laugh at both. - TELL WHOLE STORY Continued from page 1) of the first expedition ever to attempt to attain the North Pole by the aerial route.
