PRAISE FOR THE
 LOCAL TRADE SCHOOL
 BY ELECTRICAL SUPT.

Connecticut's idea of. furthering in- dustrial education as exemplified in the state trade school in this city ap- peals strongly to Albert L. Rohrer, electrical superintendent of the Gen- eral Electric Go, of Schenectady, N. Y.. and the other evening before the Board of Education of his home city, he paid high compliment to the work being done at this particular school. MT. Rohrer with some other gentlemen from Schenectady, interested in indus trial education, visited this city and looked over the local school. MT. Rohrer Is a member of the New York State Advisory committee on Indus- trial Education and Is an authority on trade schools. He recommended that the board of Education of Schenectady establish a school similar to the local school
 The Schenectady Gazette of May 1, contains a lengthy account of MT. Rohrer's ideas. His subject was, "In- dustrial Educations as Encouraged by the State of Connecticut and Taught by the State Trade School in Bridge port" He stated that Connecticut was further advanced in it's industrial ed- ucation than New York or Massachu- setts which started the trade school first. He spoke about the work here as being more practical than that car- ried on in other states and cities.

DECIMAL CLUBS
 FINAL FUNCTION
 PLEASANT AFFAIR.

The members of the Decimal club have given their final dance of the season. It was at the Slocum gym- nasium. Over 60 couple were present and many of these were guests from out of town. This affair proved to be the most enjoyable one of the sea- son. Woodhull's musicians rendered a delightful concert during the recep- tion. Punch and wafers proved to be very refreshing as the evening was a rather warm one..
 This dance was the sixth of a ser- ies given during the season and all of these have been very enjoyable and successful ones. The programs were very neat and proved to be quite unlike the ordinary ones. The club expect to give monthly dances next season and this announcement will please their many friends who have enjoyed their dances this season. The patronesses for the final dance were Mrs. M. c. Cowles, Mrs. M. F. Weed, Mrs. J. I. Thackwray, Mrs. H. Wood hull, Mrs. A. E. Nordbeck. and Mrs. J. Scully and the committee William H. Frederick, Ralph H. Woodruff, Chester R. Weed and Fred M.

Will Be Good News
 For Tobacco Growers
French Scientist Hopes to Overcome
 Hail Storms

The tobacco growers assume many risks and one of the greatest of these comes from hail. The tobacco in the field may be thriving nicely and the grower may be counting on a good return for his crop. when suddenly a hail storm will come up and in a few minutes the tobacco which had prom ised the grower a nice return will lie worthless in the field, torn to bits by the hail. While early frosts are another great danger to the tobacco grower, there is nothing that can do as much damage to crop of tobac- co in given space of time as hail
 If plan on which M. Violle of the French Academy of Science is working proves successful, none will receive greater benefit than the to- bacco growers in this section of the country. According sto Popular Me- chanics," experiments are now being made in France by an apparatus placed on the Eiffel Tower. The as- sumption is that the electricity in the air is the sole cause of hail and the apparatus which is called "electric Niagaras,'' is designed to drain the clouds of electricity thus doing away with all hail.
 The apparatus consists of huge cop- per points, bound together by bands of the same metal and these are plac- ed on a high elevation like a tower Or chimney. These metal points are connected with reservoir of water at the base of the elevation and the intention is to drain the atmosphere electricity from the clouds into the earth
 The experiments have been carried on for some time under the direction of M. Voille, but in order to conduct the tests on a much larger scale than they had been conducted, the appa- ratus was recently placed on the top og Eiffel Tower. The apparatus is to be watched with interest during the coming summer. M. Voille says that it is yet too early to estimate the practical results from experiments already made. He is of the opinion that the present summer will demon strate the practicability of the appa- ratus, but he is also of the opinion that probably three or four years will be necessary before an exact estimate can be placed on the true value of the system.
