1914, and Lincoln's birthday, Febru- ary 12, 1915.
 The calendars, which will be dis tributed to each teacher upon the be- ginning of the fall term, state that it is the wish of the school committee that fitting exercises be held on Lin- coin and Columbus day, which, it is explained, are of great importance to the child, giving as they do, real &C., quaintance with the facts and ideals of the two distinguished men in whose honor the days are set aside as holidays.
 In the words used in the calender, 'These days should be given the most scientific treatment by the teacher that real value from the lives of these two great builders may be put in the possession of the children. Compost tions written and read on the proper day, Reclamation of poetry and prose relating to them, and debates that in- volve treatment of their work and ideals should be put together to make a program that will attract parents to the school on Columbus day and Lin coin day"

That some person has, either mali to disconnect the signals and switches on the main line tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road in this vicinity, particularly north of the Berlin passenger station, is the extent of the information which has oeen imparted to Herald reporter by 0 railroad authority. It is said that the railroad detectives, who have been in town during the past week or more, are investigating this case in addition to the one regarding the placing of a railroad spike on the New Britain branch tracks on Thursday noon of last week The company is making de- termined effort to apprehend the party that has hazarded the lives Of so many of it's patrons.
 While the detectives refuse to dis cuss the matters it is believed that they are inclined to the opinion that the dangerous acts have been com mitted by New Britain boys who walk the tracks while on their way to swimming holes along the Matta besset
 
 party who has serious intentions against the road It is said in rail- ~oad circles that for this reason, the officers are on the lookout for all track walkers with an object of plac- ing them under arrest as suspects.
 In explaining the disconnection of the signals, a railroad man told a reporter, that the miscreants rendered the warning devices useless bv simply slipping the bolts out of the joints where the bars connect. The signals cannot work simultaneously with the switches when this is ,jr7e If a switch was left open, but the signal left indicating clear track. sneed- ing train would be derailed with +ba possibility of large loss of life which generally follows an accident of +his kind.
 According to the general statutes ,f Connecticut, Every person who shall MiIfully displace any switch upon any railroad, or injure, or destroy any electrical signal in use thereon, or any material or property appertain- ing thereto, or who shall interrupt the use of any wire, lever pin or bat tery, used to operate such a signal, or it's connection herewith, shall be fined not more than one thousand dol lars. and imprisoned in the state -prison not more than ten years'
 Tn regard to placing Instructions on railroads, the statutes say Every person who shall wilfully place any obstruction upon any railroad, or who shall loosen. tear up. or remove any:

London.-Whether physician
should adopt the CHEEKY manner of by
gone days or wear look of business
like solemnity, is the controversy
raised in the London press by Lord
Rosebery. who in a speech at EPSON
college said he would rather a thou
sand times be treated by third rate
doctor with genial features than a first
rate man OF repellant countenance.
THE old-fashioned type, who en-.
tered rubbing his hands, poked the
patient in the ribs and started to tell
him jokes" replies one physician,
would have a hard time holding his
practice these days"
Another writer answers that the doc
tor liked by the best modern patient is
the one who listens gravely and ends
by saying, 81 know exactly what the
trouble is" The main reason why
the grave doctor Is liked is because
he is a good listener. and patients
love to do the talking when it comes
to their troubles.
Nearly everyone prefers the doctor

Municipal Fuel Yards-The legisla-
ture of Maine, in 1908, enacted the fol-
lowing law: ANY city or town is
hereby authorized and empowered to
establish and maintain within it's linn
its permanent wood, coal, and fuel
yard, for the purpose of selling at cost
wood, coal, and fuel to its inhabitants.
The term at cost as used herein,
shall be construed as meaning without
financial profit" At the municipal
Gle, lion held in Portland on December
2. 1912. the question of establishing a
fdel vard under the terms of the above
act was submitted to the voters, and
tire majority voted in favor of the
proposition. On February 8, 1913, both
branch of the city council passed a
resolution in favor of the same propo-
sition; and on February 4, 1913, this
resolution was duly approved by the
mayor and became effective. A spe-
cial committee was appointed to in
vestigate and obtain fui information
as to the cost of plant, machinery, roll
ing stock, and things whatsoever nee
essarv to the establishment of a NUM-
cipal fuel yard. The supreme judicial
court of Maine, in Laughlin VS.. City
of Portland, 80 Athletic Reporter, 31S,
held the act valid. Over the objec.
ton that it was not for a public use
such as water supply and lighting
the court said: "In the case of fuel
the practical difficulty is caused by the
existence of monopolistic combina-
tons. The mining, transportation.
and distribution of coal has, in the
process of industrial development
fallen into the hands of these com,
binations to such an extent that the
greater part of the supply is in the
absolute control of a few. The diff.
Guilty and practical impossibility OF
obtaining an adequate supply for pri.
vate needs a times in the past, and
the consequent suffering among the
people, especially in the more popul-
Gus cities, are matters of history, and
this difficulty may as well be caused
by unreasonable prices as by shortage
in quantity. All this is a matter OF
common knowledge and cannot be
overlooked by the court. The supply
of water may be inadequate from one
cause, that of fuel from another, but
out of EACH arises the condition which
renders the furnishing of it by the
municipality a public use"

While French and Italian servants
have been attracted to London by the.
better pay, a large part OF the Ger
mans have come over for the sole pur-
pose of learning English. Even street
car conductors and taxi drivers In
most of the German cities are COM
pelled to know English, and the
knowledge of foreign languages is an
asset for any type of German wage
Garner.
London business houses also are,
filled with German clerks, who work
for little or nothing in order to learn
English and master English business
methods. Their leaving has largely
disorganized business.
