The Germans evidently believe that
their bankers can be of greater service to

than by restricting their activities to

There was no great activity on any
thing but fairly good aggregate of bust

held their own well. Clearly the feature

Worlds CIeanest City.
A. sleicher in Leslie's,

John A. sleicher in Lsslie's.
I have found the. cleanest city in the
world. Very properly it is the worlds
oldest watering place, for water means
cleanliness. It dates back over twenty
centuries 1t is a little city of not more
than 5000 inhabitants, though this num-
Der is quadrupled during the height of
the summer season. when all the world
pays tribute to the remarkable efficacy
of its salubrious warm baths. For the
WORKOUT, overworked American, these
baths have a peculiar fascination. Year
after year the visitors from the United
States include men of affairs, many not
able in financial. business and profess
sional circles. II is surprising that the
rush of overweight Americans to this
famous health resort, which has been so
long a favorite resting place for titled
Europeans, is not much greater. 1 am
writing of Aixies-Bains, or, as Ii Is
commonly called, AK.
AK is in Southern France, near the
Swiss border. The snow-capped peaks of
the Swiss Alps, rising above and all
around it. give to the clean little city a
picturesqueness and a seclusion all its
own. Two warm springs. gushing from
the mountain at the rate of 100000
gallons, daily. form the reason for the
existence Of AK. These waters possess
radio-activity, and their chemical ele-
ments. including chiefly sulphuretted hy-
drogen. render them most efficacious for
govt, rheumatism and similar physical
ills. the result of overwork, a sedentary
life. lack OF exercise and a too liberal
diet
The famous springs Of AK belong 10

the bathing pavilion-a massive gran
lite structure, with an imposing front
and lofty wrought-iron doors. 1t stands
at the head of one of the principal
streets, and contains abundant accom-
modations for all the visitors. and the
baths are of the greatest variety. The
thermal waters are used only externally.
The popularity Of the bath at AK Is
that 1t combines the douche with mas

UTILITIES BOARD TO
 MODIFY ORDER DEALING
 WITH FREIGHT TROLLEYS

The public utilities commission will make a modification of it's recent der for the discontinuance of four wheel trolley freight cars after April 1, 1914, and for the equipment at that time of all freight e@Pc with air brakes. This announcement was made by Chairman Richard T. Higgins of the commission after a nearing yes terday, at which three trolley com panies protested.
 The Connecticut Company, the Hartford & Springfield Railway Trol- ley Company and the Bristol & Plain vile Tramway Company entered pro tests against the order. In several towns the track curves are such that they would have to be rebuilt before double truck cars can be used. This is especially true of Stamford. Gen eral Manager J. K. Punderford of the Connecticut Company, in regard to stone and ballast cars, said that an Allentown, Pa, company expected to have a new type of compartment sand or stone car ready soon which would
 meet the requirements. The utilities commission will investigate further and issue another order.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor Farmer, Sir:
 The teachers of Bridgeport and of the whole state of Connecticut are intensely interested in the campaign which has just been successfully brought to a close in Cambridge, Mass They are interested in it because of the result and because of the meth ods employed.
 Cambridge has been limited by char ter provision to the expenditure of $5 on each $1,ooo of assessed valuation for school purposes. The teachers who had petitioned the school committee for an, increase were told that there was no money on hand to grant it and were urged to petition the legis- for. the removal of the $5 limit on school expenditures. Accordingly, a bill was framed, introduced into the senate and passed. When it came to the House of Represents tives it was referred to the Committee on Educa- ton. A public hearing at the State House before the committee was next held. At this meeting representative of. the Cambridge teachers appeared and presented the case effectively and clearly. One of the leaders for the Cambridge teachers was Frank M Buckley of Bridgeport. Conn. now q head master in 4tEe schools of Cam bridge. The bfll was referred back to the legislature and was passed and signed by Goveenor Foss with the provision that lit would become op- erative when adopted. by a majority of the voters of the city of Cam bridge.
 This fall the teachers immediately set to work to secure the passage of the referendum measure on teach ers' salaries. A legislative commit tee was appointed of which F. M Buckley was chairman and the entire city was divided among representa- tives of the Cambridge teaching corps. Circulars were printed and mailed to voters, representatives were urged to speak of the referendum at their ral- lies, prominent citiens placed them selves on record in newspapers in favor of the measure and as a re- suit, when the vote was counted last Tuesday night. it was found that the measure had been adopted by vote of 3 to 1. Naturally the teachers are rejoicing over the outcome of their activity, and now that their salaries are to be increased and a'tliving wage accorded, they are relieved from the necessity of worrying over enough upon which to Ifye.''

That it is recognized as such is shown by the interest mani fested by Secretary of War Garrison and others in high places, including the rivers and harbors committee in the House of Representatives and it's par allel committee in the Senate, the commerce committee. The secretary of war hopes to attend the celebra- ton, as do members of the two com mittees named and other congress- men, especially those from states con-

 Speed is the important factor in making your factory profitable. It is very hard to keep machines up to speed with belt and line shaft drive. The belts will slip on glazed spots, will crown and convey the starting jerks of one machine to others.
 Delicate work is broken or marred by these jerks and production is re- duced by the lowered speed.
