BEVERLY FARMS 
Miss Wilhelmina Patterson is re- 
ported to be improving from an ill- 
ness with which she has been suf- 
fering the past week. 
Mayor MacDonald re-appointed 
Chief of» Police S. Walter Wood- 
berry as head of the department for 
his fourth year. 
The Farms firemen will hold their 
regular monthly business meeting 
at the West St. engine house next 
Monday evening. 
The Green Box library in Neigh- 
bor’s hall, managed by Miss Frances 
Connolly, is a popular place these 
days; nearly every day new books 
are added. Here, too, an excellent 
line of candies is for sale. 
James W. Blackmar has been 
named by Mayor MacDonald for 
the position of Dept. Commissioner 
of Public Works, a new berth caus- 
ed by the recent consolidation of 
several of the city departments. 
Mr. Blackmar is a civil engineer 
and has been superintendent of the 
water department for 17 years. 
SPURIOUS OPERA COMPANIES. 
Considerable annoyance is being 
caused by persons who are presenting 
throughout the country concerts and 
excerpts from opera with small and 
inferior companies under the guise 
that such enterprises are a part of, or, 
at least, under the auspices of the 
Boston Opera Company. 
It is usually done by engaging an 
understudy or one or two very minor 
artists, who may at some time have 
been with the Boston Opera Com- 
pany, and then wording the printing 
and advertisements in such a manner 
as to create the impression with local 
theatrical and concert managers, 
newspapermen, and the public gener- 
ally, that such troupes are under the 
sponsorship of the Boston Opera 
Company. 
Somehow the man who bosses his 
wife never seems to enjoy the priv- 
iledge.

Foreign Policy is Not Known. 
Dismissing the proposed inquiry 
into the indiscreet speech of Amer- 
ican Ambassador Page in London, 
Speaker Clark told ‘‘his boys’’ in 
Congress that their resolution to 
ask the State Department to define 
its foreign policy was not privileg- 
ed, inasmuch as it called for ‘‘opin- 
ions and conclusions.’’ That there 
are no absolutely settled policies in 
reference to foreign matters is 
clearly stated by Mr. Clark. 
‘‘T don’t know,’’ said the Speaker, 
‘‘whether the State Department 
knows what its policy is or not, or 
whether it knows what its policy 
will be tomorrow or next year or 
fifty years from now. Certainly a 
statement on this point could be no 
more than an opinion.’’ 
Bostonians in Good Standing. 
‘‘Yes, I had a brother in Boston 
once,’’ said a Chicago lady to a 
Bostonian. ‘‘He was in some great 
musical society there, but x forgot 
its name. 
‘‘Handel and Haydn Society, per- 
haps,’’ suggested the visitor. 
‘“Well, I guess so. Handel and 
Haydn were Boston men, wern’t 
they ?’’—Christian Register. 
Manufacturers of greenhouses 
and makers of boxes are getting in 
touch so that the latter may use for 
box cleats the cypress waste from 
the greenhouses.

DELUSION. 
[From the Boston Transcript. ] 
Visitor—What is the matter with 
that wildly raging man in a straight- 
jacket over there? 
Keeper—He got that way trying to 
understand the income-tax law. 
Vistor—And what delusion can 
the man have who seems to be al- 
ways smiling? 
Keeper—He imagines he does un- 
derstand it. 
. Tippler—I sometimes wonder why 
I never reached success in life. 
Candid Friend—There have been 
too many bars in your way, my boy.
