| John L. Saltonstall of Beverly, who 
spoke at the: Brotherhood meeting on 
Monday evening, has received an 
‘amateur lecturer’s license’ from 
Horace H. Atherton, Jr., clerk of the 
Probate Court. This license, which 
‘ as drawn up by Mr. Atherton and 
has been widely circulated, allows the 
holder to. talk “anytime and any- 
where,” providing he does not get 
| paid and remains sitting when a vote 
th thanks is given.

:! Down in New York they have a 
sshghtly new way in numbering the 
automobile. That is to say, the sys- 
tem is the same, but by the addition 
of a hyphen to the number, makes it 
-smuch easier to “catch” the number of 
‘a passing car than heretofore. For 
instance—6349I1 is much less readable 
“at a quick glance than 63-491. Mass- 
achusetts will adopt that system next 
year, no doubt.

Say,” he demanded, “got anything 
Irish?” As he did not say what he

that what he wanted was something 
“sheen of emerald.” As the 
‘greenest thing in the store that day

“ably got that, but nobody knows.

This is a gentle reminder to clergy- 
men that “Humane Sunday” comes

their texts planned so far ahead of

The coming summer should be a 
great one for the tea room. The 
little house “by the side of the road” 
is getting more and more popular with 
auto parties. This year will see the 
auto traffic of the last two summers 
multiply wonderfully and the pros- 
pective proprietor .of the tea room 
should prepare early for the harvest.

One of the far reaching effects of 
the great war is the scarcity of paper. 
Munition makers are grabbing all the 
rags in sight and many paper mills 
have shut down on account of lack of 
raw material. A paper famine is not 
an impossibility in the not far distant 
future unless strenuous measures are 
taken to conserve the present supply. 
The price of paper stock is jumping 
at a rate to instill terror ‘into the 
hearts of publishers. One big item 
in conserving the supply is the saving 
of waste paper. Recently the BREEzE 
sold over five tons of waste paper 
which ordinarily would have found 
its wav into the junk pile to be burn- 
ed. The paper was pressed into bales 
convenient for storing and shipping, 
by machinery. Old hewspapers and 
waste paper will be in great demand 
in the near future and anyone who 
bility for the spread of disease. 
can afford the storage room and take 
proper fire risk would do well to save 
all his old paper.

Over in Marblehead there has been 
some talk of asking the selectmen to 
establish a “fairway” in the harbor 
and not allow any boats to moor or 
anchor in it. This has been done to 
advantage every year when the New 
York Yacht club fleet visits the har- — 
bor. Several years ago the Burgess — 
Co. favored a similar plan, but it did 
not meet with public favor.

Merchants in this vicinity and in 
fact all over the state are acting wise- — 
ly in trying to curtail the great habit 
of many women to have goods “sent 
home on approval,” for the privilege 
is often roundly abused. The stores 
claim and rightly that the retail trade 
is hampered and injured seriously by 
this abuse of the privilege of return- 
ing goods, which, in many cases, | 
were actually bought. The best rule 
for the stores is to limit the time for 
which goods can be kept on approval, 
as many have already done, for this 
will at least prevent them being used 
too extensively. 
According to the Hse of the 
mercantile division of the Salem 
Chamber of Commerce who have | 
been looking into this evil for some- 
time, it is not at all unusual to hear 
of women who have kept goods a 
month and made use of them during 
that time, finally returning them , to 
the stores as “not wanted.” One more 
contributor to the high cost of living, 
and what is more important, the la-
