For Old Meeting House Hill csnastery.
 People who are interested in the old Westinghouse Hill burial ground in the Mantle hill district have been invited to meet at the old ground next Sunday at 2 D. m- to consider plans for its improvement.
 There are four ancient burial grounds in the town of East Lyme the old Stone church. Head of the River. Mack's Mill and Westinghouse Hill All but the last have been put in good condition and e fund provided for their perpetual care. and the res idents of that section believe that the same measures used to restore the others can be used successfully for their cemetery
 The Old Stone church has had a fund of $1 900 and a 1000 wall given it. Mack's Mill people have held work ing bees and cleaned up their old ground and have a fund of $500 Head of the River had a largely attended working bee last fall and did wonders in clearing up the ground and a fund for Its care is well under way. There are as many people, as much wealth and as much public spirit at Mantle hill as in any other part of the town and 1t is to be expected that this movement will result in putting the last of the old historic burial places of the town in orderly shape and pro- viding that it shall be permanently so kept

 At the Gallaudet school of instruc- ton at Garden City. there continues to be much activity. and the' desire to lbreasts of many men Since\ Mir. Gallaudet was last there, three more anxious applicants have been permit ted to begin their probationary period and six more applications are just now at hand
 very busy at the Thamesville plant at present in getting out the material and assernbling the parts for the big sea- plane which the Gallaudet Engineer company has contracted to construct for the United States government The prospect is that the completed hydro aeroplane will be ready for use con- siderably before the first of the new year. when it is done by contract This is a machine to be built on entirely original lies and will be one of the most powerful air craft in Americs by reason of its equipment with a 27; horsepower motor. In the event oi dications all point that way. there is reason to believe that the Norwich company will build a considerable number for the government
