Thirteen years ago when the ques- tion of a sewerage system was turned down in town meeting, the plan in cluded a system for the whole town, and that meant not only the country districts but also Watch Hill, Brad ford, Haversham and every part of the big town of Westerly. It included sections that could never derive the benefits of sewerage, but yet the tax payers of these sections would be re- quired to help pay the expenses of construction and maintenance. That was a main reason why the project was defeated. Under the present plan only those who would receive the di- rect benefits would be required to pay for the modern sanitary service.
 The plan now is to have a sewer age district, which will comprise the compact part of the town, the Village of Westerly, or perhaps more properly the Westerly Fire district. The plan of sewerage is completed, the cost of construction has been ascertained as well as the cost of maintenance and the plan of final payment. All the de- tails have been obtained and printed in pamphlet form and placed in the pos session of every taxpayer in the pro posed sewerage district. This can be perused at leisure and every individ ual financially interested can come to a clear understanding on the impor- tant subject, even to just what the
 
 owner of real estate in the district.
 The required legislative action hay ing been granted, the taxpayers will be in position to act intelligently when the matter comes up for final action. Francis Medbury, who had arranged to drive a taxicab in Westerly, for John Slocum, of Ashaway, will not continue in that business for the pres ent. He was operating an automobile in Westerly without an operators li- cense and when he learned that the police were after him he went to Prov idence Friday and received a license. Upon his return he was arrested by Policeman Mitchell for driving an au- tomobile without a license prior to the date of this new license and he was arraigned in the Third district court on complaint sworn out by Chief Brown. He pleaded guilty and the case was disposed of upon payment of costs.
 Medbury had also been granted a li- | cense to operate a jitney by COun- 1 cilman Maurice w. Flynn, superin- l tendent of vehicles, and this license was revoked, as the holder is not of | the required age. He represented to Councilman Flynn that ne was twen- | ty-one, but he lacks about four months of being that age.
 | An artistic painting of St. Paul, framed to suit the subject, is on eXhi- | bition for a short time ir the reading room of the Westerly library, before | being given a permanent place in the art room. The painting is by the late | Johannes Adam Oertel, artist and | clergyman, who once had a studio in | Westerly, where among other works of are he painted the original picture Rock of Ages. Besides paintings he
 executed much wood carving for ec- l clesiastical use. Last summer a
 number of his paintings were on exhi bition in the art room, and St. Paul

our teachers are getting a more pro- fessional attitude toward their work. Best teaching is done by those teach CTS who lose themselves in the inter est of their schools. It is a most wholesome sign when a teacher Solicits criticisms and is eager for suggestions. In every case where teachers have committed themselves to this profes- sional policy there has been wonderful growth in teaching power.
 Teachers should see their great op- portunities. No one has greater inf1u- ence nod greater possibilities for doing lasting good for the boys and girls than our teachers. No business is more honorable, no calling more noble Every true teacher should be proud of her vocation and should be impelled to her best effort.
 Building Character.
 Teachers who have the professional spirit will be careful in planning, thor Ough in preparation, eager to improve anxious for suggestions, watchful fol every opportunity to gain a deeper hold upon the interests of the pupils and the communities where they labor and they will always be borne on by visions of the great possibilities ot their work. The true work of the teacher is building characters, a work closely akin to that of the Creator o1 the universe.
 True, our work is hard, but the in. terest on our investment will be more than an hundred-fold if we remain constant and faithful to our trust

When Douglas Fairbanks, son-in-law of MT. and Mrs. Daniel J. SulIy of Watch Hill, was making His Picture in the Papers" he increased his income greatly by refusing to have a double for many of the stunts which an imag> inative scenario writer had prescribed for the hero. Not once in the five pie lures he has made since last fall has the fearless young comedian baked at any situation required by his author.
 The first Fairbanks author and actor feature is called The Good Bad-Man. He has taken a leaf from the book of William $. Hart and creates a western characterization with the emphasis on the comedy side. In the filming of the play advantage was taken of a round up of cowboys down in the Mojave Desert district When Fairbanks ar rived they gave him the ridicule that the tenderfOot merits and receives. Before the roundup dispersed the star was setting a fast pace for his now steadfast admirers. Having finished The Good Bad-Man, Fairbanks has begun work on a new picture based on a scenario of his own. The only in- formation he is willing to give out con cerning it is that it contains a peach of a fight"

A motor car carrying four men In charge of C. w. Henry, an officer of the Fifth regiment, Massachusetts Volun- teer militia, is expected to arrive in Westerly this week with an outfit in- clTding special equipment for map making and camping material. The officer in charge of the expedition car ries letters from Governor Mccall and Adjutant General Cole of MasSachu- setts to the chief militia officers of the various states commenting the plan. The object of the trip is to train a small group of men as motor scouts to supply the military authorities with detailed data concerning the roads, routes, etc.
 One thing that will be kept in mind will be the training of the crew of the car in military methods of gathering and transmitting information, making observations and collecting information that will be based upon the assumption that in case of a threatened invasion motor cars would be communicated to augment railroad transportation facili- ties or to act independently of them.
 The car will visit the capital cities of the New England states, but its most interesting work is planned along the coast and the border.

The cottage owned by Mrs. William J. Geary, No. 37 Tower street, was considerably damaged by fire Satur- day night and the furniture and in terior furnishings destroyed. The cause of the fire is not known, as the occu- pants of the house, Mrs. Geary and her son, were not at home.

The house and furnishings were partially covered by insurance.

thorfty short of "teeth." The commission could
EQ,faF in recommendation but had little power of en-
forcement So the bill was propped up with proyi-
sions for publicity. The manifest intent of the legs-
7tue was to guarantee that the proceedings of the
commission should be given the fullest publicity and
that the power of informed public opinion could be
brought to bear on utility corporations in Hawaii
To this end the act provided: "All hearings con.
