BIC SIGN TO BOOM WESTERLY
Electric Signal to Train Passengers that More Industries Wanted-New Waiting Station for Potter Hill Post Office Bowers Coming to Norwich-Earl F. Barber Wins Bride in Wisconsin,

One of the quick results of the re- cent inspection of the trolley road | properties that enter Westerly will be | the erection of a waiting station on the line of the Ashaway and Westerly road near the bridge at Potter Hill. There has been absolute need for such a station since the road has been op- erated at that point. At the Ashaway terminal the store proprietors are sat isfied to have their places utilized as waiting stations for their pecuniary benefit as well of for the accommoda- tion of their patrons, who are also pa- irons of the trolley road.
 Ex- Governor George H. Utter of Westerly will deliver the address at the first meeting since organization of the Mems League of Washington Park, in the Washington Park Methodist Episcopal church, Providence, We'd nesday evening. The object of the league is to promote the public, polit- the residents and taxpayers of the Washington Park district.
 The biq electric advertising sign au- thorized by the Westerly board of trade at the meeting Thursday night will probably be in position on top of the frame work of the gas retort of the Westerly Light and Power com pany before the January meeting of the board of trade is held. James A. Welch, chairman of the committee, awarded the contract to Herbert Rod
 ney Ellis. and the sign is already par tiallyl constructed. The sign will be eighteen by six feet and bear the words Westerly, Industries Wanted. Cheap Power" It will be lighted free by the light and power company for period of five years, with promise of renewal of agreement.
 The sign is placed mainly for the purpose of attracting the attention of train passengers riding through West erly, to the importance of the town as a prospective industrial center, and fin the hope of receiving inquiries that may result in new industries being es- abolished in the town. It will show to the outside world that Westerly is on the map and that it has an active board of trade interested in the general ad- vancement of the town.

world history, and now it makes

The comet will be visible with
good telescopes from all over the
United States for several monthe.
Astronomers present theories
about comets make old beliefs seem
funny. People used to shudder
when they dreamed of the earth
hitting a flying comet.
Halley's comet ought to be more
dangerous than the others, be-
cause it is SO big and goes clear
out of our whole system of planets.
But the comet is as harmless as
an incandescent electric light.
Comets are composed of gas, kind
of gas that shines where there is
no air, just like the electric lights
shining thread does.
The Harvard astronomers not
only will look at the comet with
their telescopes, but clear through
it. They will even see stars on
the other side of the comet.
Halley's comet is so harmless
that if a person could travel in an
airship and go where it is whiz-
zing around he could steer through
it without danger-except, perhaps,
of asphyxiation.
1t sputters and throws off little
comets, just like the X-ray tube
sputters when it's full of X-rays. In
fact, the comet is a kind of giant
X-ray, with the vacuum around the
planets like the vacuum in the
glass tube.
Many times this comet has ap-
peared just before some important
event in the history of the world.
From what all the ancient star
gazers have written scientists be-
lieve that Halleys comet was the
bright light that shone as the star
of Bethlehem.
