“If I wear my hat well over my

DOG WEARS RED LIGHT
TO AVOID GETTING HIT
BY AUTOMOB1L1STS
Cedar Grove, Nov. 8.—A
visiting through motorist, passing
here the other night
rubbed his eyes as he saw a
dancing red light in the
street ahead of his car, made
some remarks about post-war
liquor and stopped to inves
tigate.
Closer inspection revealed a
small dog, surmounted by a
red electric light, and with a
dry cell battery fastened
about his mid-section.
A local woman explained .
that her pet wouldn’t stay off
the streets at night, so she
rigged up the signal to keep
him from getting run over by
an automobile.
KICK LA FOLLETTE
FROM THE PARTY
Expect Few Changes in Chair
manships Will Be
Necessary,
Washington, Nov. 8.—(By the
Associated Press.)—Whil<=r there
will be a general shake-up in the
personnel of house and senate
committees as a result of Tues
day’s election, fewfer than a dozen
changes of importance in chair
men will be necessary.
At least three vacancies by
death, however, will have to be
filled before the expiration of the
present congress.
May Oust Bob.
There is considerable specula
tion as to whether an effort will
be pinde by the republicans to
read Senator LaFollette and his
followers in the senate and house
out of the party, depriving
of their committee assignments
and of the privilege of party con
ferences.
LaFollette is chairman of the
senate’s manufacturers’ committee
and is listed as the ranking re
publican on the finance and inter
state committees.
Other senators usually lined up
with ‘ him hold memberships on
committees, while in the house La

were re-elected, have committee
assignments as republicans, some
of them serving as chairmen.
the locals’ attack was too strong
for the visitors.
Although outplayed, the Griffin
team put up a hard fight until the
finish and several times made neat
gains.
The locals used every substi
tute available.
Pittman and Key carried the
honors for Griffin, both featuring
in an aerial attack. The latter
kicked a field goal from the 40
yard line, which accounts for the
visitor’s three points.

“I always examine my custo

they have given their order I have
formed my conclusions with re

it A man with a fashionably
shaped bowler tilted foward over

the price.

this last type, they may merely

MANY VETERANS
Twenty-five Have Been Aided
Here During the
Past Year.
(
Twenty-five ax-service men have
received assistancesfrom the local
Red Cross chapter during the last
year in straightening out their
government cla.ms, procuring hos
pital treatment and adjusting their
insurance, according to figures re
cently compiled by the executive
secretary of the chapter.
Besides the direct help to ser
vice men, the local chapter is do
ing extensive work in looking af
ter the families of ex-soldiers who
are in the hospitals.
Solve Problems.
Many perplexing problems con
fronting them have been solved
with the assistance of the local
Red Cross secretary, the report
shows.
Often compensation for the sol-
dier is necessarily held up pend
ing examinations and the filing of
affidavits: Tn the meantime, the
Red Cross chapter sees that the
family does not suffer, and acts as
a constant friend and advisor un
til the claim is finally adjusted
and the compensation starts.
Many ex-service men, the secre
tary stated, do not understand the
proper procedure in filing claims,
and the Red Cross chapter as
sists them in procuring the neces
sary affidavits and examinations,
and in many ways acts as their
personal representative in getting
their claim before the proper au
thorities.
/ Assists Bureau.
--“While the veterans’ bureau is
doing a commendable piece of
work, and is handling a difficult
task with ability and speed, some
times a claim is unavoidably de
layed.
“There are certain limitations
beyond which the bureau cannot
go m helping a man. It is then
that the Red Cross is of inesti
mable value to our great army of
disabled soldiers.

reau, stated once in an address
that ‘the problems confronting the
