 William M. Owen, clerk of the su- pericr court for Kent county, says the First National bank of Norwich did not file petition Thursday for the appointment of a, receiver for the Continental Finishing company. and Attorney Gardner makes like denial. The attorney with counsel for the com pany did discuss the affairs of the company before Judge John w. Sweeney of Westerly, but no petition for a receiver was filed and no citation was issued for any court hearing in the matter. MT. Gardner further states that the chances were very remote that any petition for receiVerShip would be filed.
 Judge John w. Sweeney, at ses sion of the superior court, heard ar guments on the application of James Walker of Newport, the naval officer who recently figured in a divorce suit, for the custody of his children. Judge sweeney SIdulSu the dppllCdtIo1 dnu gave the custody of two of the chil- dren, now at Jamestown with the mother, to the father from August 25 to Sept. 1, and two others from Sept. 1 to Sept. B.

Important Business Positions

Employers object to turning their offices into training school for poorly trained seekers of em- ployment.
 That is why a prominent business man recently called upon us twice for Norwich Commercial School graduates to fill important business positions He gave one of graduates $16.O0 week to start, with promise of raise later on.
 Years ago mere knowledge of Shorthand Typewriting and Bookkeeping considered train ing enough for beginner, but times change, and the Norwich Commercial School has expended thousands of dollars in equipment to train its stu dents not only in Shorthand, Touch Typewriting Bookkeeping and the usual subjects taught, but also in Modern Business Methods and the use of Book keeping Cash Registers, Adding and Listing Ma chimes, Dictaphones, Business Monographs, Mime ographs, Neostyles, Photographs, Letter Presses Roller Copiers, Check Protectors, Multigraphs Card Indexes, Filing and Loose Leaf Systems
 1t takes push than pull to get and hold pleasant and profitable employment than it did years ago. and the difference between thorough up-to-date Business Course as offered by Norwich Commercial School and the antiquated methods of years ago may mean the difference between Success
 
 By efficient modern methods, we add our Special Course in Office Training and Business Efficiency and get you throug gh in the same length of time it formerly took with less thorough and complete courses.
 Our Special 2Oth Century Bookkeeping Meth ods, Electrical Debating Machines, Special System of Shorthand, Expert Individual Instruction enable us to give you more for your money than you are likely to get elsewhere.
 First, second and third places in the Fifth Inter- national Shorthand Speed Contest at Washington, won by writers of the system taught by this school.
 There were eighteen contestants - fourteen writers of other systems and four writers of the sys- tenn taught by the Norwich Commercial School
 ALI the writers of the system taught by us qual- ed ten of the writers of other systems failed to do account of not being able to read their notes accurately.
 The winner of first place, writing the system taught by the Norwich Commercial School exceed ed the best previous record on solid non-court mat ter made in the Miner Medal Contests by twenty three words per minute.
 Another writer of the system taught by us, . boy of seventeen, personal stenographer to President Wilson, won second place and exceeded by fifteen words per minute the best previous record or solid matter made in the Miner Medal Contests
 The writer, of the system taught by this school, who third place, girl of seventeen-made the highest accuracy record ever established, up to the time of the contest, on solid non-legal matter. It this record that led the offering of the Adams Trophy
Norwich bulletin., 1913-08-23

These remarkable records clearly show that the system teach is the easiest to learn, the easiest to write the most legble and fastest system in use.
 Briefly the above illustrates what has been done by writers of the system taught by the Norwich Commercial School.
 For years we have been teaching and advocating this system of Shorthand and Typewriting, while some of the teachers in Eastern Connecticut have held to the old time systems have experimented their students with systems not so well known The best is none too good for our students
 Believing that the better tools the workman has the better work may be expected of him, led the Norwich Commercial School to purchase over $2,OOOOO worth of new office appliances, one of these alone costing over $50O.0O, and another one over $35O.OO.
 This is age of progress and it is not ques- ton of how ancient the institution, but how mod NORWICH COMMERCIAL SCHOOL is school of today It is old enough to be reliable and have the support of prominent business men.
 It is new enough to be out of the rut and up-to- date in all of its departments
 The spirit is that of progress. Its courses of study revised that has for many years been able to furnish we'll trained office workers to some of the largest corporations of New England and its students have done credit to the school by filling these high grade and exacting positions the sats faction of their employers.
 Some thoughtfu parents in the years past have entrusted the duty of educating as many as three of their young folks to the Norwich Commercial School. What stronger testimonial of the high re- gard which thoughtful parents have of the Norwich Commercial School could we have?
 Many business men, some of them employing several of our graduates, have been well pleased with workers we have recommended that they have said that they would always call first when in need of assistants.

CHEAPER ROADS
Removal Of the Asphalt Tariff
Would Benefit Wisconsin

Wisconsin representatives and the
senators from this state can strike
an effective blow for cheaper good
roads and asphalt streets by insisting
that the new tariff law shall admit
asphalt free of duty. There is no
question of protection involved. for
there is no lake or natural asphalt In.
the United States. The competing
domestic materials such as Oil asphalt
and tar are so much lower in
price than the imported product that
they need no protection. In fact,
about all the existing tariff $500
ton on refined asphalt and $3.50 on
crude-has done is to result In adding
these amounts to the taxpayers bill
for good roads and streets. The tariff
tax is not only added to the price
Of the imported product but it makes it
possible for the producers of similar
materials to increase their charges as
well, without coming into price COM
petition with the imported asphalts.
Some kind OF bituminous binder"
to hold the stone in place is used in
most roads in these days of heavy
traffic. To make roads of this kind
as cheap as possible everybody inter-
ested in the good roads movement
ought to work for tariff-free bitumens.
The saving that will result from the
removal of the tariff will not go to
the asphalt people. They have prom
ised to reduce their prices by the
amount of the tariff If it is cut of. and
trade considerations would make them
do this in any case. The saving will

the money on additional construction
that they could not @otherwise afford,
or they can keep the money in their
pockets. Their bills for roads and
streets have gone up tremendously
in recent years; there are millions
more to pay and there seems to be
no good reason for adding to these
millions by continuing the tariff tax
