Transfer Planned Sometime Ago Does Not Necessarily Indicate Disin- tegration Of New Haven
 Trolley Property
Confirmation Of Sale By President MelIen- New Purchasers Are SandersOn And Porter, N. Y. Engineering Firm,
 Who Are Trolley Road
 Promoters

Boston, July S1.-The sale of the Western Massachusetts Trolley lines by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Ra1lroad Go. to firm of electrical engineers in New york was announced today by authority of Pres ident Charles s. MelIen.
 The purchasers are Sanderson and Porter of go William street, who have taken over the New England Invest ment and Security company, the hold ing concerns owning the Springfield. Worcester and other Western Massa- chusetts trolley lines
 The purchase was consummated through the acquisition of the entire common stock of the New England In vestment and Security company of $100, ,000 which alone has voting power. The $4. COG, 900 preferred stock of the Investment company is owned by the public and dividends of four per cent on the issue are guaranteed by the New Haven railroad, which also guar antees $105 per share in the event of liquidation.
 The New England investment com pany also has outstanding an issue of $15,o00,0 900 notes guaranteed principal and interest by the New Haven.
 The company is a. voluntary associa- ton formed in 1906 at the time public complaint was directed against straight ownership of trolley lines by the steam EallGOdOEs
 The New Haven transferred to a holding company the Springfield and Worcester properties the Central Mass. Electric company and other minor lines. The bankers at that time agreed to effect the sale of the entire author 1zed issue of $10,OO0,0o0 preferred, but never succeeded tn distributing more than $4,OoO.OoO.
 Ownership of the common has a1- ways been rather nebulous, but it has been the tacit understanding that this controlling $1OO, 900 of common was held by certain trustees not antagonisttc to the New Haven railroad.
 In the sale to the New York Engin- eering firm, who will act as managers, it is understood that the price paid for control has taken into considera tion release Of the New Haven from, it's guarantees.
 It is said that this sale was planned before MT. Me1Ien rendered his resig- nation from the presidency of the road and that it does not necessarily mean the disintegr alton of the New Haven trolley system.
 ~ MT. Me1len confirmed the sale in a message received here today from New York. He said:
 Your information regarding San derson and Porter having purchased the New England investment and Se- curity company, I understand to be correct. cannot give you details. Am not interested in the transaction. Sup pose they purchased for investment as they are trolley promoters, operators and constructors, because there was a profit in sight.
 Whether their purchases are limit ed solely to the con1nron stock or they have gone further and acquired an in terest in the preferred, I ann not ad- vised. The common stock was much more easily obtained, for it was small CT in amount and held by few par ties.''

It is stated that the action of the company in leasing its eastern Connecticut lines and the sale of it's interest in the Massachusetts tpo1Ieya mentioned above does not necessarily mean a segregation or disposal of the various lines in this state.
 Whatever reports are attached to the future of the lines in this state. it is said, probably are based upon the lease taken by the Shore Lima Electric Railway company, now known as the Plant system, og the New Lon doh and East Lyme Street Railway company, which will make the con meeting link between the eastern Con- necticut trolleys and those west oe the Connecticut river in this state. making up the system of the Connec- ticut-company.

Every woman knows that white Is

tone may look cool and bright and

DR.. FleXner'S Great Discovery

New Orleans States: DR.. Simon
FleXner's recent announcement that
ne has at length succeeded in iden-
tlfying and cultivating the germ of
infantile paralysis brings hope with
it. This means that a necessary
preliminary step has been taken 20
ward the discovery of an agent by
which the germ may be destroyed.
1t does not mean that this discovery
will be made in a day or a week, but
II does mean that the way to this
discovery has been greatly short
ened.
In reaching the result from which
it is expected great benefits to hui
man beings will flow, DR.. Flexncr
has made experiments on living an
finals, because he could not have
reached the result by any other
means. Yet, strangetO say, there are
persons OF humane dispositions and
good intentions who would rather
have children suffer and die from
lnfantile paralysis forever than to
permit a single one of the lower an
finals to be used in scientific exper-
imentation. This is hard to believe,
but it is true.

FALSE HAIR NOW
is QUESTIONABLE
O.
Tho Coitfura Brings The Locks
Low on the Forehead.

Never were coifrure effects so fat and
less false hair used. The smaller the
head the better. The only false hair
| used now by fashionable women is q
roll to pose at tho back Of the head,
on which to place their hair. The ends
OF the hair are tucked in under this,
and barrette Is fastened to cover tho
spot where stray hairs almost always
show. Tho mass Of hair Is marcelled
once a fortnight or so, and IL there
are not too many short hairs the effect
will be neat.
The Psyche knot Is returning to fash
lon, and the helmet form, which Is 30
becoming, Is still worn. In this the
back hair forms the modern French
twist, and the hair is drawn over the
knot and IN way effaces it. Good
effects for the low couture are those
Of a simple braided strand of hair or
knot formed In a fat figure g.
A tendency toward q slight flufflness
now marks dressing Of tho front hair,
and for evening wear its becomingness
Is undeniable. The present styles are
well adapted to the smoothly parted
hair worn by SO many women, BIZ
which method the eyebrows are visible.
the ears are almost covered and the
hair is massed on the nape Of the
neck.
Everything seems to incline to the
low forehead. and for q woman who
has not such this Is easily secured by
bringing the hair over the forehead
and fastening it there with an invisible
pin. When the hair Is caught back
IN the chignon the front looks quite
natural. Everything is possible in fnsh
Ions OF hairdressing, and perhaps in a
few years the high forehead beauty
may arrive
