ets,” by Mrs. Eliza Crombie. Mrs.

lem, read a selection, “‘ To the Grand

ident of the Corps, read a selection 
entitled “The National Flag,’ and 
Mrs. Mary Lane, the senior vice-pres- 
ident read a poem on “The Home of

To Enforce the Auto Laws. 
At their meeting Wednesday eve-

action on the communication from a 
number of the summer colony, to the 
effect that a subscription paper had 
been circulated amongst the summer 
colony and upward of $4,000 had been 
raised for the purpose of supplying 
men to enforce the automobile laws.

matter, and arrangements have been 
made whereby 10 or 12 men will be 
furnished. It is the intention to post
