'board. In a short speech before mak

ing the motion. Walterman eulogized J)r. Johnston and his work In the Interests of the schools of the city. Board Is Aroused. The purchase of a new automobile by the city police department without first obtaining an appropriation for Its payment from the council, aroused the wrath of that body. The charge was made that an attempt was being made to "railroad" an ordinance appropriating money for its payment. Councildan Walterman said he voiced the

sentiment of the council when he declared that "this thing of buying things without having the money to pay for them, and then calling on the council for the money has got to stop." The mayor made a statement that the old Ford car, which has been In constant use by the department Bev eral years, was entirely worn out, and the immediate purchase of a new car was necessary. The making of this appropriation was then held over until

the-joext session of the council. A : statement was later made that the Ford was sold for $415. Under a suspension of rules, an ordinance governing the sale or rental of stalls in local markets was passed. Under this ordinance, the stalls at the market house on South A street will be sold at auction, and "backing up" privileges along South Sixth and South A streets will he sold for 75 cents.

The question of Increasing the salary of the city building Inspector was brought up by the council to the city attorney until the next meeting. According to City Attorney Robblns, a state law provides that no salary of a city official can be increased during the term of office of that official, although it was not known whether the building inspector comes within the meaning of this law. The matter was held over until ' the next meeting of the council. Councilman Thatcher registered a complaint with the council concerning the misuse of South Tenth street

park by boys after 10 o'clock at night, declaring that residents near the park have been disturbed by the joy-making youngsters. Several suggestions for correcting the situation were made, Including the adoption of "Ye-Olde-Towne-Crier" method of ringing a bell In the park every evening at 10 o'clock, warning the joy-makers that it was time for slumber and that they should move on. Another councilman suggested that a fence be built around the park. - ; - The matter was dropped when Mayor -Zimmerman asked why "we don't build a fence around the city of

Richmond and make it unlawful to

smile." - Engineer Makes Report' Enforcement of the motor vehicle Saw as regarding parking of cars in

congested places along the streets of

the city was also brought up for discussion, and the question, was raised as to why more attention could not be paid by the police force to the enforcement of this law, now that the force's labors are lightened by the presence of prohibition. The mayor declared that with the present force, it would be Impossible to pay more attention to the motor vehicle law, and that it would not be practicable to increase the personnel of the department. City Engineer Davis read reports on several street improvements throughout the city.

ted Thursday from the Tri-State Nor

mal at Angola, has been elected principal of the High school at Edgerton, Ohio Mrs. Laura Fort of Centerville, was a recent guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Napier.

The splendor and mystery of tho orient are splendidly shown in "The Red Lantern,' which opened at the Washington theatre Monday night with Nazimova in the lead part. The settings for the play are remarkable in costliness and beauty. Nazimova as a half-caste Chinese girl, whose life ends in tragedy because she aspires to be all white, does the best acting of her screen career. In the play she

appears as the Chinese girl and her English half-sister, and each part is so cleverly done that there is almost no resemblance between the two girls. The plot is based on the Boxer rebellion, in which the leading spirit is a half-caste Chinese, who has been educated in America by missionaries, but who hates all foreigners because they refuse to accept him as their social equal. To him comes Nazimova, when she learns that she can never marry the young American whom she loves, and pledges her aid to the Cause. She consents to pose as the goddess of the Red Lantern, and by this means influences the superstitious old empress. When she learns that the Boxer cause has been lost, she takes her own life. The scenes have been laid with attention to beauty and correct detail. The appearance of the Goddess of the Red Lantern with a great cortege down the dimly lighted streets of quaint Pekin is most spectacular. The costuming is beautiful and the characters have been well chosen. Oriental decorations and joss sticks in the theatre add to the effect and give the audience the sensation of witnessing a real bit of life in the Far East.

Why "Gits" Cost More A Word to the Returned Fighter

more today you

Everything costs

know it does! Clothes cost more. They're worth more. Clothes are better styles, better tailored, better finished than they were when you put on the uniform of U. S. A. A decade of development in clothing

manufacture has been packed into a few short months. So when you Returned Fighters are asked to pay a little more for your "cits" remember you're getting a lot more. No use to wait, boy. Not a sign of a drop in sight. Listen to what A. E. Burkjiart, vice-president of the National Association of Retail Clothiers, says:

"Clothing prices will be the same for Fall 1919 as opening prices of Fall 918 possibly slightly higher in better grades. While raw materials will, be a bit lower, manufacturer's costs, overhead and labor have advanced enough to make up the difference."

Here's a man who knows. Take his tip. Better buy now than pay more later. A good appearance is worth all it costs. And the longer service, the

extra comfort, the confidence-breeding satisfaction of good clothes makes them economy even at a higher price. Buy now buy wisely the reliable brand sold by the reliable clothier.
