The costs of some of tho materials

ON BERMUDA ISLANDS
BKBMl'DA, April 27. (A. P.)
Renewed efforts to enact a law per
mitting the use of automobiles In Ber
muda have been made this spring by
members of the Bermuda assembly.
I hese Islands have held out thus
far against what Is considered a "dan
gerous Innovation," but there is
strong party for rapid transit.
The chief opponents of automobiles
are American winter, residents and
tourists. Mrs. Vincent Astor, of New
York, who bits been occupying a resi
dence on Hamilton harbor for the
past two seasons, sent a letter to the
local newspaper objecting to their in
troduction on the island.
As this colony has only a little

as a neeesMty. 8lnce the Island of
Nantucket admitted automobiles, this
is about tbe only civilised place from!
which they are barred.

REVIEW FOR GRAND ARMY
VETERANS IN PENDLETON
A dramatic feature of the G.
A. B. convention to be held here
in June is that it will be the last
time the Grand Army men will
eer assemble In Pendleton and
quite likely they will never meet
agaJn In Kastern Oregon. Tho
ranks of the O. A. K grow thin
ner each year and as even the
youngest of the veterans are In
the seventies the hand of time
will fail heavily upon them dur
ing the next decade.
The G. A. B. last met here 27
years ago and at that time the
organization was In Its prime.
This lime they request that their
parade be short and that pro
grams in their honor be closed
at 9 p. m. or thereabouts.
Ow.'ng to the fact the coming
convention will doubtless repre
sent the last review of the veter
ans in Pendleton it is desired by
Ihe local committee that all pos
sible cordiality be manifested by
the local committee that all pos

OVER HANDLEBARS OF
BUCKING MOTORCYCLE
Diving in water is very satis-
factory and a source of pleas-

dry land ever the handle-bars of
a buck'ng motorcycle is quite
aiiher-Trhtttvr.-- Indulgence-in
this stunt is likely to lead to
siime discomfort and even worse 4
things.
This observation has been reg-

him a new "gas bicycle' 'and last
night when he slowed down at a
corner and swerved to one side
to avoid a rapidly approaching
car. he took a plunge over the
handle bars. The motorcycle
wan temporarily placed on the
casualty list and Frank received
a neat hook to the point of the
jaw and made him wonder if
Jack Dempsey had touched him.
Aside from a slight soreness in
bruised muscles this morning
he is as enthusiastic about mo

work on "Betsy" will see him
back in the acrobatic field with
in a day or two.
