Mrs. Thomas E. Bowker, Miller street.

rent report that the Colonial Theatre will

Their two tenants, the office of the Bel
fast Water Company and the dental par

Belfast bay was obliged to cut her way to
the wharf, destroying about 1500 worth of
copper plate on the job. But for this tug
Belfast would have found the ice condi
tions a very serious question.

A Caution Needed Everywhere.
An Associated Press despatch from Bos
ton is applicable in Belfast:
Women are asked not to talk about the
war in public, in a statement issued by
the Massachusetts woman’s commitee of
the Council of National Defense Jan. 4th.
It is natural, the statement says, for a
woman to tell a friend of news her son or
brother has written back from the front
or from camp. Strangers, both men and
women, have been observed making notes
of these conversations, it is said, and in
this way often learn the date of the sail
ing of some transport or some prospective
troop movement. The committee recom
mends these three rules for women to
follow:
“Never indulge in war talk of any kind
outside your own home.
“Never leave about carelessly letters
from men in service, which tell of possi
ble movements or camp conditions. Read
and destroy.
“Never indulge in telephone conversa
tions upon these subjects; even wires
sometimes leak.”

peared in the Saturday Evening Post and
which was written by Mary Roberts
Rinehart. Younger sister of an attract
ive girl of twenty-four, and even more
romantic than the average boarding
school girl, Bab’s efforts to marry off her
older sister are screamingly funny and
her experiences with her thousand dollar
allowance which she spends in two weeks,
still funnier. Plan to attend one of the
three shows, Friday, 2.30, |7 and 8.30.

ing will be shown, Dorothy Dalton in a
Triangle Play, “The Ten of Diamonds,”

Huff and Jack Pickford will be shown in

The relatives and friends here of Mr
and Mrs. Sumner C. Fisher, who are in
Jerome, Arizona, were pained to hear of ,
the death of their oldest daughter, Eunice, j
which occurred Friday of last week from
pneumonia, following an attack of meas
les. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher left their home
here in November, hoping that the cli
matic conditions in Arizona would be
beneficial .to the health of Mrs. Fisher,
and (it ;is ^sadjjndeed for this ^trouble to
overtake them, located so ,far]from rela
tives and friends. Eunice was born July
28, 1907, and was an especially lovable
child, with a sweet disposition, and was
apt in her studies, being a child of rare
promise. Like some beautiful rosebud,
which blossoms unseen, so will the
beautiful spirit of Eunice Fisher blossom
with the angels, unseen by mortal eyes,
until the glad day of reunion beyond the
skies. Besides her parents she left a
young sister, Barbara, her grandmother,
Mrs. Eunic 6 Campbell, and several uncles
and aunts.

the Senate by what “warrants of law or
authority” the present cabinet officers
held oflice.
