NEW LONDON GETS BIG CARGO
British Columbia Lumber Dschargng Central Vermont Wharf-Credit to Frank V. Chappel- Much Interest in Coming Election Contests.

tives Therefore both have had leg islative experience and this district is assured of competent representation in the next state senate. MT. Miner is a leading merchant and MT. Whiton a leading manufacturer. Two years ago these same gentlemen were the opposing candidates, and Mr. Miner won, as did almost every other dem
 ocratic candidate. by the aid of the bull moose vote. Indications are that there has been a change in political conditions in the past two years and that now prospects are favorable for the election of MT. Whiton.
 In the house of representatives the New Londoners will be of inexperienc- ed stock, as none of the candidates have enjoyed legislative experience, nor have they figured prominently in the political game. The republican lawyer Cyrus w. Brown, a coal deal CT and movie manager. The demo- cratic candidates are William c. Fox, a bookkeeper and Charles R. Brown, a workingman and an active working volunteer fireman for the past twenty five years. If there were no such thing as political parties there is no doubt as to which of the quartette would be selected to represent Ned London at the next session of the Connecticut legislature. But there are at least two great political parties. both well represented in New London, but rot equally divided, there being at least 300 more republicans than democrats. Therefore by the political rule of three the chances are favorable to the elec- ton of both republicans, provided both play fair with each other. But under conditions like those that. exist today New London has been represented by one republican and one democrat.
 Another contest of local interest is over the office of judge of probate
 which is usually uncontested. Judge Arthur B.. Calkins is the candidate for reelection, and his republican op- ponent is Attorney Philip z. Hankey, who has been the running mate of Richard P. Freeman for the legislature two years ago. Both candidates are fully qualified for the important posi- tion, and the New London probate dis trict is assured of a competent judge
 Never before has there been sJ,h thorough advance political work in New London, and the indications are favorable to republican success.

ASK YOUR HUSBAND FOR
MONEY IF you WANT 1T

In an interesting little article enti-
tied Feminine Finance" in the Wom-
ans Home Companion, Lee Macalister
says in part
IF there is money to be had, 1t Is
foolish for a woman to shrink from
asking for 1t as If she were an unde-
serving child. Also, If her husband Is
only thoughtless, it Is unfair to him.
Most men wish to spare their wives ev-
cry possible discomfort, and 1t Is silly
for a wife to experience needless in
convenience and feel sorry for herself
the while when a little common sense
would do away with it. Men can't I'M
derstand such n point of view. What
ever they want they ask for, and they
can't see why a woman should OBJ
ject to doing the same thing. And a
woman shouldn't. There are times, Of
course, when a woman wants more
money than she thinks her husband
can afford to give her, and when 1t is
necessary for her to be at home the
greater part OF the time. In that case
some plan can be found If it be diligent-
ly sought"

"The Country Boys Creed"

/ believe that the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
which man made; that life out OF doors
and in touch with the earth Is the ma
tural life Of men. I believe that work
with nature is more insI tring than
work with the most intricate machin-
cry. believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do. but how
you do 1t; that opportunity comes to
boy on the farm as often as to boy
in the city: that life Is larger and freer
and happier on the farm than in the
town; that my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself.
not upon my dreams, but upon what
actually do; not upon luck, but upon
pluck. I believe in working when yon
work, and IL playing when you play.
and in giving and demanding a square
deal in every act of life.

BEST POSTOFFICE IS
se,. IN WASHINGTON
New Structure at Capital EN-.
braces All Latest Ideas For
Facilitating Mail Service.

The city Of Washington has the
model postoffice of America. This will
be demonstrated this week. in the opin-
ion OF Postmaster Otto Praeger, when
the new postoffice building near the
union station Is put into use.
The new building Is not only one of
the most beautiful in the country, in
terror and exterior, but the mechanical
contrivances are wonders OF ingenuity.
The building and equipment cost over
100000. The lobby OF the building
alone cost 100000.
The idea carried out in the construc-
lion, arrangement and equipment Of
the establishment has been not alone
to provide handsome structure but
magnificent workshop for the employees
IN which the latest and best ideas as
to workshop apparatus would be put
into effect. Something like a mile Of
mechanical conveyors are utilized in
the building for the carriage and ham
ding OF the mails. The array Of cam
ceiling machines Is a large one. The
facilities for handling the parcel post
business are extraordinary, Postmaster
Praeger being an enthusiast on this
subject
Motor Mail Service.
Handsome rest rooms are provided
for the employees, among other things.
One Of the remarkable features of the
new building Is that the roof, instead Of
being OF the usual pattern. is Jagged.
like the teeth Of saw. The purpose of
this construction might not be thought
in keeping half the roof in light and
half In shade all the time. Thus the
building Is at once cooler in summer
than the ordinary building and 1t Is adj
mirably Illuminated from above.
All Of the up-to-date and at the same
time practicable plans for facilitating
the distribution Of letters and mail and
for the reception OF mail from trains
and its dispatch to trains are going to
be tested here. Residents Of the capital
will get the benefit in quicker service.
One of the improvements which will
soon be utilized will be the continual
employment Of q number of motor
vehicles. sufficiently rapid, In the col
lection Of the mails and in the sending
OF the carriers to their stations about
the city. This will greatly facilitate the
collection and delivery OF mail.
1t Is the opinion Of Postmaster
Praeger, who speaks adVisedly In the
model postoffice of America, but the
worlds best postoffice. He believes
that as soon as 1t Is in smooth running
order, as 1t soon will be, the improve
ments in the service in Washington will
be apparent to everybody.
The educational value Of the new
postoffice is expected to be marke and
not confined to this locality by any
means. Postmasters and postoffice Of
ficials from all over the country are
continually visiting the capital. One
of the matters impressed on them will
be that they owe 1t to themselves and
their communities to look over the
Washington office and get suggestions
as to handling the mail in their own
localities.

DENIES CRITICISM OF
TWILIGHT SLEEP PLAN
Jewish Physician Cites Records
of Maternity Hospital Using
Method. .

New York.-Criticisms Of the Twi-
light Sleep by DR.. Charles Ginsberg,
formerly an instructor in the UNI
versity of Vienna, were refuted by
Irwin Arrow, superintendent Of thu
Jewish Maternity hospital, the Amert-
can institution in which the Twt-
light Sleep was first itroduced.
The Twilight Sleep, says DR.. Gins
berg, has proved a failure in Europe
and Is now frowned upon by every
large clinic there with the exception
Of the one in Freiburg.
He maintains that the Twilight
Sleep prolongs childbirth, sometimes
to the extent Of two or three days;
that women completely collapse after
1t; that asphyXiatlon and often death
Of the child occurs
"As to the prolonGation OF birth,
said Superintendent Arrow yester-
known-nor heard-of this period
lasting anything like two or three
days. One case, 10 hours in duration.
was a striking exception to the ordin-
airy.
TT is impossible for a woman to
collapse after the Twilight Sleep. We
have known Of no such case In our
160 applications of Twilight. The
fundamental principle upon which the
theory is built is that Of non-collapse
The patient is in a half sleep; her brain
IS completely at rest.
I'm the 125 cases OF Twilight Sleep
which were attended in this hospital
up to the middle of September We
did not have a single case OF asphyx-
iation, nor did we have a single baby
lost. However. OF this number there
were born dead, circumstances
which would have occurred whether or
not the mother had been in the Twis
light Sleep"

The Mails the Refuge of the Sharks"

1t has been demonstrated that most
advertising is honest and dependable
and that the relatively small amount
Of the other kind can speedily be done
away with. according to Herbert s.
Houston. in the August Worlds Work.
Strangely enough, as magazines and
newspapers have set up their high
standards and denied their columns to
the unreliable advertisers. the latter
have found their only place Of refuge
behind the protecting postage stamp of
Uncle Sam. Denied access to all repu-
table publications and to bill boards
and street cars and practically every
other form OF advertising, the swim
dlers and takers now carry on their
business chiefly through the mails. For
years the Sterling Debenture corpora
ton was unable to have it's advertising
published in any medium Of standing;
but all the time 1t carried on a far
reaching propaganda by mail and sold
millions of dollars Of worthless stock.

CLEARY'S REASON
LOST, ASSERTION
HaverStraW Boss Was Mad at
Time of Murder, AIienist Be-
IieveS-MeetS Daugh-
ter In Court.

New City, N. Y, Dec. 19.-The fate
of William v. Cleary. former town
clerk of Haverstraw. on trial here for
the murder on July % last OF his SON.
inlaw, Eugene Newman, was expected
to be in the hands OF the jury this at
ternoon.
The sensation of the trial came last
night when Mrs. Anna Cleary Newman,
widow Of Eugene Newman and daugh-
ter of the defendant told from the wit
ness stand a story corroborating the
testimony Of her mother and father
who had preceded her. Mrs. Newman
told of her marriage to Eugene New
man five days before the shooting, de-
claring that she kept the fact a secret
from her father and mother and in
answer to questions affirmed the con-
tention Of the defense that Newman
was the father of her unborn child,
which fact Cleary previously had
stated. caused him to lose his reason
when his soninlaw called to inform him
OF the secret marriage.
Father Meets DaUgher.
Her father had not seen her since
July %, the day before Newman was
shot, chile waiting to tell Cleary that
he and Anna were married. AS his
daughter neared him Cleary jumped to
his feet and reached out to embrace
seized her and kissed her repeatedly.
AS the girl wS,ked tremblingly to the
stand Cleary collapsed. falling over the
counsel table. He recovered quickly,
however, and fixed his eyes on his
daughter. who did not return his gaze.
When she had finished her testimony
and again passed. by where her father
sat she made no response whatever as
he reached out and patted her hand.
Few questions were asked the young
widow. The defense, whose witness she
was, contented itself with getting her
to say that Newman was the father of
her child and that she had not told her
father nor her mother OF her marriage.
Through Mrs. Cleary IT was brought
out that up to the time OF the shooting
Cleary did not know the boy was his
soninlaw.
Mrs. Cleary said her husband had
moved his family from Haverstraw to
New York to escape Newman's atten-
tons to their daughter, but they had
kept up their clandestine courtship. She
had been told 6 the marriage by q
physician who was attending her
daughter a few days previous to the
shooting.
