Miss Mary Converse is with Bostol friends for two weeks.
 I Miss Beatrice Congdon was a gues of school friend in Hartford las week.
 Mrs Irving Reynolds, who has beer spending several days with Mrs. R, B. lift in Westfor,l, has returned home
 Miss C. S. Beckwith has returned from New York and Philadelphia She spent week in the latter city with her niece, Miss Mary Chandler.
 R. w. Smith and 0. H. Moore were on "a business trip in Boston and vi- cinity the last of the week Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Moore accompanied them and took the opportunity to visit the New England Conservatory of music of which they are both graduates.
 The following information, ob. tained at the local exchange office of the Southern New England Telephone company, gives an excellent idea of the comprehensiveness of this com papy'R system-oRe upit in the great- CT system that forms a net work of wire highways that cover and link to. gether the entire country. The tele- phone company has total of twenty five shundred and eighty employees on it's pay rolls, twelve hundred, or. practically ppe-half of whom are actually engaged in putting up and taking down the connections over which millions of calls are passed yearly. Tine balance are associated with either the plant or the commeF-. cial departments. The state is divided into sixty-six exchanges or local areas and located iD these sixty eight central office buildings New Haven and Hartford each having two. Housed in each of these, of course, is plant and traffic equipment essential to such centers. Connecting the subscribers to these central offices and linking the different switchboards in the various offices into one great system, that ist in turn connected to other states, are underground and aerial cables, open wire on pole lines and submarine cables, a total wire mileage for the state of 3O2, ,OS1 miles. In the sys, tenn there are no, 297 telephones or approximately one telephone to every 10. people in the state. Between these telephones an average of 585, 256 calls-this figure including local. toll line long distance messages U are passed every twenty four hours during the year. The local exchange of the telephone company, was opened in 1882 and, at that time, had 26 telephones. The growth here, as in other ex. changes in the state, has been steady one with the result that there are at the present time SO5 telephones in actual operation locally, a growth of 279 telephones during the last 32 years. If the proof of the pudding lies in the eating these facts may be taken as an indication of the value of telephone service.

Announcement was made a few
weeks ago that new incandescent
lamp has been perfected which con-
sumes only half watt of electrical
energy against full watt required by
the best lamps of today. The new nj
trogen lamp is really tungsten lamp.
filled with nitrogen gas, and of high
efficiency.
For many years scientists and in
ventors have been trying to increase
the efficiency of the incandescent
lamp. The most noteworthy achieve
stem filament lamp which gives three
times as much light, of better quail
ity. as the old carbon filament lamp
perfected by Edison This in itself
was wonderful improvement but the
invention OF the nitrogen fillec lamp
almost equals it so far as high candle
power lamps are concerned
New lamps are usually the result of
long and tedious study. Edison work
ed for years to produce the first carbon
lamp and sent men securing the earth
for the bamboo TO be used in the fila
ments. 1t was years before the squirt
ed carbon filament was found The
carbon lamp remained practically the
same for nearly twenty years previous
to the discovery Of the tungsten lamp.
The new nitrogen lamp was not the re
suit of an accident. Long and labor
ious research work in the laboratories
of the General Electric Company was
necessary before a hint OF the new
lamp was found. 1t was to eliminate
the blackening of the tungsten lamp
during its lifetime that the new lamp
was discovered. Owing to the chemi-
cal action of tiny bit OF water vapor
in the vacuum of the globe acting up
on the metal filament, the minute par
ticles of the tungsten are carried from
the filament to the globe, blackening
the lamp. 1t was to remedy this that

containing an analysis by the law

Of the commissioner of internal
revenue of the Chicago district that

the experimenters hit upon the new
lamp,
Besides their high efficiency of but
half watt per candlepower there are
certain features of the new lamps
which may prove of distinct advdnt-
age.
!. Color of the light-The tempera-
ture Of the filament being several hun
dred degrees higher than that of ordin-
airy tungsten lamp at double its rated
voltage.
BY the use of special color screens
1t is possible to obtain u true daylight
color at an efficiency of about two
watts per candle, whereas with ordin-
airy tungsten lamps the efficiency OBJ
tanned with the proper screens is ten
to twelve watts per candle.
2. High intrinsic brilliancy-The in
trinsic brilliancy is five to ten times
that of the filament of the ordinary
tungsten lamp. This renders it es-
pecially suitable for projection work
such as headlights and stereopticons.
Although the intrinsic brilliancy Is
less than that of the arc, this differ
ence is often more than offset by the
fact that the wandering of the crater
Of the arc prevents as sharp focusing
as is possible when the source of light
is fixed in position.
8. Consistency of characteristics dur
! ing life-Because of the freedom from
blackening Of the bulb in these lamps
! and because the helically wound fla
ments may be so designed that the
sagging compensates other changes
during life, it is possible to make nj
/ trosen filled lamps which maintain
their volt-ampere candle-power char
acteristics practically constant during
their whole life. The ultimate failure
Of these lamps is due to the breakage
Of the filament. The candle-power is
usually well above so per cent even
| just before failure.

plea for larger salaries for
school teachers, and a warning to
parents not to try to mold their chill
dren's professions by their own, were
keynotes in the address on Brains"
delivered by Bishop Frank M. Bristol,
at the Trinity M. E. church last night.
Bishop Bristol was the guest of hon
or at a supper at o'clock, to which
the men of the church were invited.
at this gathering the bishop spoke of
the church work and the part the
men can take in it.
Bishop Bristol said he was astonish-
ed to find that the average wage of
school teachers in Iowa was $l.01 per
day. He appealed for bigger wages
for the teachers who have the future
of the nation in their hands, as he
phrased it.
The destiny of the country is in
the hands of the school teachers,
whose duty it is to develop the
brains of the youth of the country" he
said. I'VE want our children to re-
ceive as good salaries as are paid for
services in other professions"
Bishop Bristol criticised severely the
man who tries to make his son

your boys brains into the mold you
set for him." he declared. Give him
the opportunity and he will let you

/ in the past and will be the man who
will make his mark in the future, ac-
cording to the speaker.
Who have been the history max
ers? Who have written the great

made the British lay down their arms
at Yorktown? Who was victor at
Appomatax? Who struck the yoke
from the Cubans neck and swept the
Spanish fleet from the sea? The man

Bishop Bristol declared that the
measurement of mans worth was not
by weight of his brain but by what his
brains achieved for him. Individual
success he held, depended upon brains
He declared that the present day de-
mand is that every citizen have brains
and that every brain is given an edu-
cation.

It's Grandmother Recipe to Bring
Color, Luster and Thickness to Hair
When Faded, Streaked or Gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm 1t makes or
mars the face, When it fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and
schaggly, just an application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enchances its appear
ance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a So
cent bottle of "Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
luster of your hair and remove dan
druff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth s" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrOus and abun-
dant. Local agent, j. G. Perry.
