CAMPAIGN TO GET MORE MEMBERS
 FOR AUTO CLUB

The Automobile Club of Bridgeport today begins an aggressive campaign for new members. William c. Oohl, an experienced representative Of the Connecticut Automobile Association, with which the Bridgeport club is af- filiated, will call on owners of auto- mobiles who have not yet joined the Bridgeport club. October "A, a year ago, the State association had about 900 members, and today it numbers 3,20O this increase being due in a large measure to the indefatigable eff forts Of MT. Dohl who has visited the small towns and secured individual memberships.
 The Bridgeport club is one of the very first to be organized in the coun- try and numbers now about $50 mem- bers. As there are probably thou sand automobilists in Bridgeport and vicinity it can be seen that there is still room for increased membership. The Automobile Club of Bridgeport does not aim to be a social organiza- tion, but in legislative work, advocat- ing good roads and placing signs at proper locations seeks to benefit the cause of the automobilist. The value of organization was seen during the recent session of the Legislature when efforts were made to hamper the free use of automobiles with more strin-
 
 firmly against reckless driving and does everything in it's power to dis courage the unlawful use of the roads. It has been quietly active at various times in having the license of reckless chauffeurs taken away or suspended. The membership at the present time includes some of the most prominent people in the, city and the club vel comes every automobile owner of good repute.
 The yearly dues are five dollars, and it includes membership in the Con- necticut Automobile Association and also the American Automobile Asso- citation, so that one membership fee includes city, State and national bod ies. The local club provides a State radiator emblem and a club dash board emblem free. Frank T. Staples, the well known banker, is president of both the Bridgeport club and the State organization.

Wnrders of 2 Rosn

There is perhaps no greater wonder than a book. By the help of little figures. upon spins or paper men have been able to transmit their thoughts through thousands of years. The names and shapes of things, the deeds and sorrows that have occurred as far back as Adam, have been made known to us.s Even those invisible and ab- stract thoughts which have no shape or substance. but. which inspired the writer and have since inspired others, are all put down in the little letters and made eternal The songs of David the .speculations of Plato, the visions of Homer, have by these means been handed down faithfully for many cen turies and distributed among man kind. If there were no books our knowledge would almost be confined to the limit of sight and hearing. All that we could not see or hear would be to us like the inhabitants of the planet Saturn-a mere matter of idle ronjecture.-Barry Cornwall

Probing Plot To Dynamite Taft's
 Special Train
Special from United Press. )

Santa Barbara, Cal, Oct. 17.-Sec< ret service men from San Francisco special detectives engaged by ths Southern Pacific Railroad and Sheriff Stewart of Santa Barbara County, are engaged, today, in an investigation of a plot reported by Stewart to dyna- mite President Taft's special train, a miles north of here. The secret ser- vice operatives are said to have ev1- dence that the responsible person has fled to the mountains where he fs hiding. Both Sheriff Stewart and Special Agent s. W. F. Hines of tho Southern Pacific assert that there 1s complete evidence of the plot They were busy on the case, today, after having spent 24 hours at the scene of the alleged attempt.
 They declare the plan was to blow up long bridge over which the Pres ident's special passed early Monday. At midnight, Sunday, a Mexican watchman saw a man running in the gulley below the bridge. He called to the man, who increased his pace and disappeared after the watchmaD had fired several shots at him.
 The watchmah investigated further and found twenty-one sticks of dyna- mite hidden in a section of one of bridge. A long fuse hung from the side of the pier. He also found IS sticks of dynamite in the next pier, similarly arranged.
 The watchman notified Sheriff Stewart and Special Agent Hines, the latter of whom was on the Presidenrs train. They removed the dynamite and started an investigation.
 The officers declare that the ex- plosion was so planned that the dyna- miters could have started the fuse after seeing the Presidents train ap- proach and had time to escape him. self.
 There was sufficient dynamite to have blown the bridge and train to bits.
 A reward of S5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the man who attempted to dynamic the bridge was offered, today, Ls E.. E. Cal7Er. and general maF-so<r of the Southern Pacific.

Mother at Praver.

Once, says a writer, suddenly open Cd the door of my mothers room and saw her on her knees beside her chair and heard her speak my name in pray CT. I quickly and quietly withdrew with feeling of awe and reverence in my heart Soon went away from home to school, then to college, then Into life's sterner duties. But I nev- er forgot that one glimpse of my moth er at prayer nor the one word-my own name-which heard her utter. We'll did I know that what I had seen that day was but glimpse of what was going on'every day in that sacred clos it of prayer, and the consciousness strengthened me a thousand times in duty, in danger and in struggle. When death came at last and sealed those lips the sorest sense of loss I felt was the knowledge that no more would my mother be praying for me.

4 startlina Lecture.

Mfr. J. NJ. Barrie has given us a whimsical description of Professor Campbell Fraser, the famous author and dramatist having been at one time one of the professors pupils. ''I see him rising in daze from his chair,' says MT. Barrie, land putting his hands through his hair. Do I exist he said thoughtfully, strictly so call ed? The students looked little star fed. This was a matter that had not previously disturbed them. Still, if the professor was in doubt there must be something in it.. He began to argue it out, and an auncomfortab silence held the room in awe. If he did not exist the chances were that they did not exist either. It was thus a per sopal question. It was no wonder

veneSS Condemns Niggard|y Policy
 Towards Teachers Believes That Board of Education Should Deal More Liberally Teachers Are Now Carried on One Quarter Pay Only For
 Four Weeks in Case
 of Illness

At the suggestion of Commissioner A. E. Veness of the board of educa- tion the problem of the payment or school teachers during illness was re- ferred to the committee for consid- eration at a special meeting of the board of education last evening.
 The present system of the board is to carry school teachers taken i'll, up- on the payroll at one quarter pay for four weeks. MT. Veness expressed himself as strongly opposed to such a niggardly policy and calling atten- tion to the nerve wracking work of the teachers said he believed more generous allowance should be made for them.
 He suggested the placing of teach CTS from the normal training school in the positions left vacant by illness so that the substitutes might have the benefit of practical experience and that the regular teachers might be more liberally dealt with without ex- pense to the city. pr. c. w. Deane, the superintendent of schools, ques- toned the advisability of this plan.
 The matter will be threshed out more fully at a subsequent meeting of the board when the committee re- ports.

It was dug out at a shal- low depth, transported by canoe to the coast and finally sold at Bahia, bring ing the finder, it is said, $25,OO0.
