That no more permits be issued for the erection of gasoline pumps on the streets, and that an annual fee of $20 per year be charged for each pamp now in service, is the recommenda- tion that the Board of Works will make to the city council. This was decided upon at a meeting of the board held on Wednesday af- ternoon. The board has been flooded with applications for permission to | place pumps on the street, and it will be remembered that the matter was up for discussion at a recent meeting of the Board when the members ex- pressed the opinion that there were too many "monuments" on the street, lf| and that it was time to take action in | | order to protect the city. Following the instructions given by the board, the city clerk, Dr. W. W. Sands, wrote to several cities to ascer- tain how applications for the installa- tion of pumps were dealt with, and the board received ifformation from sev- eral places. Hamilton charges a fee of || $45 per year for each pump, and Tor- onto $25. In Ottawa no tax is impos- ed, but no pumps are allowed to be erected on the street. Kitchener charges $10 per year for each pump, while in St. Catherines, steps are be- ing taken to have the pumps removed from the street. In Brantford a tax of $5 per pump, is imposed, and the council has under consideration a plan to have the pumps placed on private property. The members of the board are unani- mous in the opinion that action must be taken to charge a fee for the pumps. At nearly every meeting of the board, applications for pumps are received and the members feel that the time has arrived when steps must be taken to cut down the number of pumps, as they are regarded as an obstruction on the street. The board received a letter from the public library board, asking for per- mission to erect a portico on their new building, which, would encroach about two feet ofr the street line. On motion of Ald. Wood, it was decided to grant the request, the work to be under the supervision of the city engineer. To Regulate Traffic. A letter was received from Chief of Police Robinson, asking the board to purchase three "Go" and "Stop" signs for use in the regulation of traf- fic on Princess street. These signs are used in all big cities, and it is felt that they can be used to good advantage in Kingston. At the present time, the policemen regulate the traffic on the street corners with their hands and it is not at all satisfactory. The mem- bers of the committee are of the op- inion that the suggestion is a good one, and on motion of Ald John Fife that the three signs be purchased, and this system of regulating traffic be given a trial in Kingston. At a recent meeting of the board a complaint was received regarding the blocking of the foot of Gore street, by the locomotive works with debris from the works, and it was decided to have the police notify the company that the || debris must be removed. A letter was fl] reeived from Chief of police Robin: son, to the effect that the company had ll been notified by Detective Mullinger |] to remove the debris. The board decided that the com- pany be notified in writing of the wish of the board. Cooke's Auto service was granted permission to transfer an electric sign il] and a gasoline pump. At a recent meeting of the board, a complaint was received from T. R. Carnovsky, upper Princess street re. garding the flooding of his property as a result of an overflow from the sewer. The board sent the letter to pthe utilities commission, believing that body to be responsible, but the com. mission, at their meeting last Monday, sent the complaint back to the board of works. The board is of the opinion that it is a matter for the utilities com- mission to deal with, so filed the letter of complaint, Ald. Reid drew the attention of the board to a request for the construction of about 200 feet of cement walk on the south side of Bartlett street, and the matter will be reported on by the city engineer. The city engineer was instructed to call for tenders for the necessary car- tage of materials required by the works department. The chairman, Ald. Price presided at the meeting, and the other members present were Alds. Holder, Reid, John Fife Johnston and Wood. Bt. George's AY.P.A. The members of St. George's A.Y. P.A., No. 54 had a delightful time at the close of the business meeting on Tuesday. The gentlemen's sur- prise was the feature. magic mystery, brought forth peats of laughter as also did Messrs. L, Dinmock and C. Finegan in their CMeon™ dialogue. A sivg-sons was NAVY LEAGUE EVENT | A BRILLIANT SUCCESS Big Audience Enjoys Theatri- cals, Music and Living Pic- tures In Grant Hall. To an audience that filled Grant Hall and under the patronage of some | of Kingston's most prominent citi- ens an entirely successful entertain- ment was given in aid of the Kingston branch of the Navy League of Canada on Wedpesday evening. There was not a dull moment from start to finish of the programme that was 'not too long and just long enough" and the hearty applause and the exclamations of plea- sure heard on all sides at the close of the performance spoke of the appreci- ation of the hundreds of citizens pres- ent. The Sea Cadet Corps, organized un- der the Navy League, opengd the pro- gramme by marching smartly to the { platform where with bugle and drums {they made a fine showing. Two most amusing and well staged plays were | put on, The first "The Pros and Cons" | by Gertrude Jennings, told the story {of a "near divorce" the cause of the | quarrel between "Brenda" (Mrs. James Miller) and "Freddie," her hus- band (P. G.'C. Campbell), being the telephone. Mrs. J. S. Skinner as Mrs. Christie, Brenda's mother, was excel- lent in her part, and Mrs. J. L. Jerome took the part of "Evangeline" a cousin, who complicates matters still further, with the ease and the beautifully clear enunciation which makes her such a favorite. Mrs. Miller's acting is almost professional and she not only played to perfection the part of the young wife, who wanted to "make up" after all the quarrellings but was responsible for the arranging of the play Dr. Campbell as "Freddie," was a strong support. Shouts of laughter "The Workhouse Ward" by Lady Gregory, with L. J. Austin, R. K. Hicks and J. L. McKee as the actors, was a laugh-provoking farce concern- ing three Irishmen or rather two Irish- men and a Irishwoman, for Mr. Mc- the sister of Mike McInerney. Prof. Hicks undertook to produce this farce which was a marked success. The mu- sic between the acts was arranged by Dr. Gibson and was very delightful. Miss Anna Mitchell sang "A Japanese Love Song" (Brahe) and "A Birth- day," (Woodman) and later in the evening "Down in the Forest" with such delicacy and sweetness that she was recalled and sang "The False Pgophet" a gay little song, Capt. Lee sang "The Crown of the Year," and "You Are All that is Lovely and Light." Capt. Lee has a fine rich bari- tone and it is with regret that King- ston music lovers hear they will lose him from the concert stage. A treat not anticipated by the audi- ence was given them when Miss Kath- arine Hart, who is staying in town, appeared and sang several lovely songs in her clear beautifully modulated so- prano. Her first number was "By The Land of the Sky Blue Water" (Cad- man) and in response to the vigorous applause she sang "Rose of My Heart" and later she was heard in two other numbers. Dr. Thomas Gibson who accompan- ied the singers skilfully, played two piano numbers with exquisite taste, sympathy and a beautiful technique. His first number was an Edude by Chopin and the second "Aspiration" (Schumann). For the first time in some years a Kingston audience had the pleasure of seeing a series of Tableaux Vivants. showed the enjoyment of the audience.

In giving the home a real cozy appearance, one must not neglect the necessity of having fresh, new Rugs. They contri- bute largely to the beauty and comfort of the home. In fact, it might be said that they form an item of necessity. The cost of having new Rugs in your home is quite insignificant. For $50 you can buy a beautiful, handsomely patterned room size Rug. Another, a Brussels Rug for $35, is an outstanding example of luxury in your home at an economy price. One simply cannot get along with worn, thread-bare, shabby Rugs--they are out of place in the well regulated home. We could go on enumerat- ing, but it is to your advantage to see them, in person, without biased opinion influencing you.

Next was Miss Mary Hora as "The Blue Boy" (Gainsborough) and most effective it was and the fig- ure was so still that it was a real pic- ture. Another Gainsborough was "The Duchess of Devonshire," Mrs. Halla- way Waddell, in a flowing white wig and a gown Si yellow with artistic tou- ches of vivid Hue, a delightful picture. "The Broken Pitcher" (Greuze) Miss Alison Maedonell was an exquisite bit of coloring, truly Greuze, the soft tint. ing of the skin, the wonderful blue of the gown and the dainty pink of the roses at the waist, enhanced by the perfect pose made this one of the gems of the collection. Miss Aline Ruther- ford made a real and delightful "In- fanta of Spain' (Velasquez). The ce- lebrated painting was copied exactly, and rounds of applause greeted its ap- pearance "A Dresden Figure" Mrs. Frederick Alderson, was another gem and as "Carmencita" (Sargent) Miss Nevada Best in gold frock and a rose in her hair made an attractive picture. To something very modern we turned when we were shown Mrs. S. A.

F. Goodwin, who an artist herself, reproduced with living figures the picture of some great masters. She was most efficiently assisted by Miss Katie Bermingham. The curtain first rose on a most charming Wedge- wood group - white, against a back- ground of living blue. The posing and the statuesque bearing of the girls, Miss Isabel Minnes, Miss. Doris Mc- Kay and Miss Edith Carruthers, was "King Alfred, The Founder of the Fleet," surrounded by the Sea Cadet Corps was the last number on the pro- gramme. Major Cartmar was a splen- did King Alfred with helmet and shield. The background giving a hint of sea and sky made the picture most realistic. "Rule Britannia" and "God Save The King" brought this fine en- tertainment to a close. , Col. J. N. S. Leslie, president of the Kingston branch of the Navy League, thanked the performers and those who had assisted in the programme in any way and the audience in showing their interest in the work of the Navy Lea- gue. To the ladies who so kindly assist- ed in arranging the evening's pro- gramme the thanks of the Navy Lea- gue is extended, and also to the Uglow Book Store for allowing the plan of the seats to be placed there, to the Me- Gall store for the loan of "The French Doll" and to John Laidlaw & Son. for the silk velvet draping the "Vogue" figure. - THE AMHERST ISLAND CHURCH SITUATION Rev. R. G. Fry Is Acceptable to Bath Unionists and Anti-Unionists. The situation arising out of the vote on church union at Amherst Island is beginning to clear up. It will be recalled that for a number of years the congregations of St. Paul's Presbyterian and the Metho- dist church have been co-operating under one minister. undertaken to remain with the unionist minority and hold services in the village church for at least a, year. The United church officials have given him permission to minis- in St. Paul's church if they wish it. The plan would be to continue as be- fore holding the morning service on the hill with the non-concurring Presbyterians and the evening ser- vice in the village with the union- ists. Mr. Fry is understood to be sug- gesting two proposals to the congre- gations. Either that they remain separate as above, being served by one minister, or that they Jietermine to go into union at the end of six years, remaining as co-operating congregations meanwhile. Mr. Fry has been offered a con- gregation in Northern Ontario but is remaining at Stella for the present. BIG CITIES LINKED BY TWIN RIBBONS OF STEEL. There are two outstanding factors in railroad service that seem to be chiefly responsible for influencing travel to a particular route. factors are equipment and conveni- énce of schedule. Those whose business takes them frequently on trips between the lead- ing cities of central Canada and cen- tral United States points are highly appreciative of the service rendered regards both these tures. The number who constantly travel Canadian National on their trips to Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago, furnishes striking testi- mony as to the excellence of the ser- vice established on the great double- track route that connects these im- portant cities. Lepaving at convenient times and arriving at hours that suit the busi- ness requirements of the average traveller, the Canadian National trains that so efliciently link these business centres have all-steel equip- ment, consisting of compartment sleeping cars, standard sleepers, ob- servation library cars, and modern day-coaches--and in addition, splen- didly appointed dining cars on which are served meals actually superior to those one expects in the avemage first-class hotel. Becoming increasingly popular with the travelling public as the quick, comfortable and dependable route, the Canadian Nal®onal is the logical choice of those whose busi- ness requirements call for the high- est type of travel efficiency and whose standards of convenience and comfort are such as to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection in railroad service. ---------- A LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
