 IMPROVES MAIL SERVICE

Additional postal service in the bus mess districts and for local factories has been instituted here under the di- rection of Postmaster Charles F. Greene. Two deliveries, morning and afternoon, will begin today. 4y
 While heretofore the additional vol urne of mail delivery has been at tempted by intermediate carriers with long and tedious routes the new sys- tenn of four deliveries a day is expect ed to tighten the postoff1ce burden as well as facilitate deliveries in the business distrfets and factories in both east .e1 west ends.
 AAs mapped out by Superintendent Of Mails Fred J. BreckbilT and Fore men of Carriers, Edward Pagan, each business house and factory will have one letter carrier serving it fou times daily. Twelve carriers will be utiliz- ed in the district bounded by the Pequonnock river and Park avenue. between George and Gilbert streets on Main street. One special factory route is planned for the West End and in East Bridgeport there will be three routes.
 Beginning today there will also be an innovation in the collection of mali by wagon, continuing as late as 10:45 at night. thus greatly extending the hours of collection in outlying dis tricts.

WOMAN CHARGED
 WITH MURDER IN
 PORTSMO TH COURT
AIIeued to Have Given HaS- band Poison Because of
 Jealousy.

Portsmouth, N. Ill., Nov. 15.-The first trial of a woman for murder in Rockingham county in many years was set for today when Mrs. Mary A. Burns, of Nottingham, was called upon to face the charge of having killed her husband. Burns d ed at his home on December F, 1914. The med icaI referee pronounced death due to poisoning and at first the authorities held to the theory that he had com mitted suicide. After an investigation Mrs. Burns was arrested.
 At her preliminary .hec=ing, evidence was introduced to the effect that she had purchased some poison in Man chester three days before her Nhus- bands death. After her indictment last April she was taken to the state hospital for the insane for ebserva- ton. Upon the report of the superfn- tendent that Gle was sane she was brought back to the county jail in August.
 Jealousy is advanced by the author ities the motive for the alleged crime.

MATCHES

The first friction matches were the invention of M. Derosne. French man, and next year will mark the centenary of the introduction of the phosphorus-tipped sticks. They were little used outside of France until 1927. when Johnl Walker, an English druggist, manufactured the first really practical friction matches, which were known as .tCongreves." Within a few years their use spread over Europe and America, supp1anting the flint and steel with finder box and sulphur tipped splfnts of wood. called spunks, which were the common means of ob- taining fire until Walkers invention was popularized. The next great ad- vance in matches was made in 1845. when Prof. yon Schrotter of Vienna discovered red or amorphous phos-

Hauptmann, 53 Today, Has Three Sons
 In German Army

! Gerhart Hauptmann, who is con- s1dered by many authorities to- be the foremost figure in twentieth cen tury German literature was born in Silesia fifty-three years ago today, Nov. IS, 1862. While the distinguish | ed dramatist and poet has served the fatherland only with the pen, his three sons are fighting in the Ger man army, and two of them, Lieuten- ants Eckart and Klaus Hauptmann have been recipients of the iron cross for valor. Two Hauptmann is a, vol unteer and is serving in the ranks Eauptmann has been one of the staunchest of the literary defenders of Germany, and has steadfastly maintained that the Kaiser is the de- fender of civilization against barbar- ism He has declared that German
 culture is superior to that of any
 other country, and has been the
 laudator of war as a means for the ex-
 tension of Teutonic fkultur.' In one
 of his books, published several years
 before the outbreak of the conflict. he
 heralded the necessity and the virtues
 of war, prophetica1ly asserting that it
 would come from God,'' and that
 such a period of trial and carnage
 alone could save ''the European Sou1.''
 Iauptmanns father was a, Sile-
 sian peasant, and the future bard
 spent his early years in poverty. As
 a youth he was far from being re-
 marka ble-some b1ographerS have
 said that he was stupid. It was not
 until he. was past his majority. and a student at the University of Jena,
 that the wings of the poet began to
 unfold. His first poeticaI work,
 "Promethiden1os,' written at the age of twenty-three, was filled with the restless subjective happiness of his years. Tolstoi, the Russian, and Zola
 the F'renchman, were his favorites among the authors, and it was Zola who inspired his first play, realis- tic drama which was successfully pro- duced in Berlin in 1889. Later works,
 especially "The Sunken Bel,'' con firmed and established the promise of his earlier efforts, and in 1912, on the fiftieth anniversary of his birth, Hauptmann was given the No bel prize for literature. Hauptrnann is a tall rugged, erect figure of 9 man. with a clean -shaven, mobile face and partially bald. Until the war Hauptmann was very fond of Italy and Italians, and spent much of his time in that sunny kingdom. His principal home, however, is in a Si- lesian village, not far from the farm house where he vas born.
