RED AND GREEN
 SIGNALS ON ELECTRICS
Displayed From Rear and Front of Cars, the Latter Denotins That Other Cars Follow.

All the cars of the Connecticut com pany on the local lines Tuesday eve ming had red lights prominently dis played on their rear ends, and all that had cars following them had green lights in front The change to the green signal lamps went into effect February 1, superseding the old sys- tenn of putting out a car-foHowing g board on the front end when more than one car passes another at a switch. The green light, displayed at the left hand side of the car front, near the top, is much more easily seen signal that a car is following than the old fboard. and will cut down the danger of running by switches, and thereby risl1ing a. collision and the lives of passengers to a minimum. The rear-end red lights, which have three faces are larger than the old lamps. and can be seen for a greater distance, thus reducing the chances of a rear end collision. The rear lights are hung on the right side. near the top. By day, a green flag takes the place of the green light. The company's local lines require 56 lamps of each color and the same number of flags

Replaces Lighter Structure Which Was
 Heavy Enough for Big Freight

 The new bridge, which was started about six weeks ago, is of a much simpler style than the old one. being of through span construction. There is no overhead work, as in the old bridge which was replaced because it was too light for the heavy freight trains passing over the road Tho bridge is something over a hundred feet in length and there are two steel spans resting on stone piers, one in the middle and one on each end. It was not necessary to make any chang es in the stone foundations, as they were found strong enough.

DIR. SHAHAN TALKED
 UPON THE WHITE PLAGUE
Before St. Mary's T. A. and B. Soci. ety and Members of Father Mathew Society.

St. Mary's T. A. and B. society held short business meeting Tuesday eve ming in their rooms in the T. A. B. building and then listened to talk by Dr. D. J. Shahan upon Pulmonary Tuberculosis or Consumption of the Lungs: Its Causes, Symptoms and Prevention. Members of St. Annes society and a good sized delegation from the Father Mathew society were present by invitation. A rising vote of thanks to the speaker indicated their. pleasure at the highly inform ing and valued exposition of his topic which the doctor gave.
 President Lewis A. Andrews intro duced Dr. Shahan. who spoke first Of the general history of the disease bringing it up to the discovery of the tubercule bacillus and the finding of modern scientists as to the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.
 He told of the detection of the di.'- ease through the skin and eye in chii- dren and adults who present no out ward symptoms Of it. The many ways of infection were explained, and it was stated that tuberculosis was not hereditary, contrary to the general rules can be observed against the spread of the disease, and 1t can be cured easily in it's early stages in Con- necticut. No special climate is nec- statistics, he said, he believed to be unreliable on this point. as they show ed that there was about one-half tho tuberculosis in the state now that there was in 1S49 whereas it is generally known that this is not true. but con- sumption has increased much since then. First it was the Indians, ther. the colonial stock. and now it Is the Irish Americans who are the chief victims for the disease. Dr. Shahan dwelt upon means of prevention, and closed with an appeal that the peopls should see to it that the state pro vided hospitals for the poor who were sufferers from the white plague.
