THE compliments of the season to our 
readers one and all! 
Tue Gravel Pond water in Manches- 
ter wasturned on Tuesday. If you have 
any ills or pains, or if there isa lack of 
ills or pains, blame the change of brand. 
Sucu delightful weather we have rare- 
ly experienced on the North Shore! 
Thus far we have had no extremely cold 
weather and only one or two snow flur- 
ries. The ground has not yet been cov- 
ered with snow. Our North Shore 
friends who seek warmer climes at this 
season of year, would have no cause to 
find fault were they with us_ the last two 
months. 
THE suggestion in the BREEZE of two 
weeks ago that a new street be construct- 
ed leading from Beach street to Sea street, 
leaving Beach street near the Masconomo 
stables and coming out on Sea street at its 
junction with Masconomo, has met with

much favorable comment. One of the 
heaviest tax-payers in that section of the - 
town has endorsed the plan ina com- 
munication printed this week. The one 
great point in favor of the new street is 
the fact that the hills now encountered 
in getting to that section of the town 
would be overcome; the new street 
would be over level land, through a_nat- 
ural roadway. 
UNIFORMITY in automobile laws is at 
last beginning to attract the attention it 
deserves throughout the country. ‘The 
legislative board of the American Auto- 
mobile association, which first advocated 
this policy of uniformity in automobile 
laws, is about to bring the matter more 
prominently before the country at large, 
by the first national legislative conven- 
tion, which will be held in Washington, 
D.cC.,heb15: 16and- 17: 
At this February conyention delegates 
from all the clubs in the national organ- 
ization have been requested to attend, 
and invitations have been extended to 
the governors of all the states. The 
purpose of the convention is twofold— 
first, to secure the passage in congress of 
the federal motor vehicle registration bill, 
and second, to bring before the official 
delegates of the various states the nec- 
essity of enacting a uniform state motor 
vehicle law. 
The federal registration bill, which 
has been advocated persistently by the 
legislative board of the American Auto- 
mobile association for more than two 
years, seeks to permit inter-state travel 
of motor cars by a simple method of one 
registration through a national registra- 
tion bureau. The national registration 
bill was introduced into congress last 
year, but, owing to the tariff agitation, 
it failed to obtain a hearing before the 
judiciary committee, to which it was re- 
ferred. 
THE Providence Journal seeks to joke a 
little at the expense of one of the hunt- 
ing clubs down in that section and refers 
to the fact that a recent shoot was en- 
joyed with this result: 
The hunters had $50,000 worth of 
automobiles, $3000 worth of guns, $900 
worth of fancy hunting dogs; they 
tramped over $80,000 worth of land, and 
at the finish landed one rabbit worth 25 
cents. 
Well, they had a good time, didn’t 
they? 
Another factor in the discussion is that 
indulged by some papers which like to 
total up the amount paid the state for 
hunting licenses, and then claim that it 
is impossible to shoot that much game. 
What of it? Who wants to measure 
the pleasures of bunting by dollars and 
cents? Does aman, when he goes fish- 
ing for pleasure, decide that he has made 
a failure of it because he has not enough 
trout at so much a pound to offset the 
expense of the trip? He goes for the 
sake of getting to the field, to the wood, 
to the water, and no money compensa- 
tion is to be placed by the side of his sat- 
isfaction from the outing. 
The men who measure results in hunt 
ing or fishing from the purely monetary 
standpoint are very poor sports. They 
do not realize the pleasures of the ex 
cursion, and if they are keen upon the 
financial end as they seem to be, we fear 
they do not comprehend the reason why 
so manymen betake themselves to the 
field and the forest for their pleasure. 
It’s the life that is desired and the game 
results are merely secondary. And _ this 
is as it should be.—Gdoucester Times. 
No More Advertising in Programs. 
The Salem. merchants are falling in 
line with those of Beverly and the North 
Shore towns in that the Merchants’ as- 
sociation has declared against advertising 
in programs, dance orders and the like. 
The following resolutions have been 
adopted: 
Resolved, That the members of the 
Merchants’ association, either as firms 
or as individuals, do hereby agree to de- 
cline from advertising in any program, 
church, social or fraternal paper or organ 
whatever, except those published by the 
Grand Army of the Republic, Salem 
Firemen’s Relief association, Salem Po- 
lice Relief association and the Empire 
and Salem theatres. 
It is further agreed that no member or 
firm shall in substitution for an advertise- 
ment, purchase tickets or contribute any 
sum of money. 
I have just put in a stock of mail boxes 
and letter plates. D.T. Beaton. adv.
