LARGE CROWD OUT
 FOR BERLIN RALLY
Lonergan Answers Questions on " 8-HOur Law and Mexico
RAIN SCARES REPUBLICANS
Garage to Be Built on Pennington Road by Nourse and Ventres-Carlc Grasse Dies in New Britain Hos Tsital-Other Doings.

The largest political rally ever held
 in the town of Berlin took place last evening in Foresters hall where the democrats held forth. Long before the hour that the meeting was
 scheduled to open the hall was filled to overf1owing and the s. R. o. sign was placed on the outer door. Fred erick B. Duffy, democratic nominee for secretary of state, was not able to be present because of pressure of business at the last minute but he sent his regrets and a promise to be pres ent at the next Berlin rally. If rain A has as little effect on the members of the party election day as it did last night there is no telling what will happen if said day is pleasant
 The principal speaker on the pro- gram was x-Congressman Augustine Lonergan and from the very start he made a favorable impression on his S audience. He told the voters that he expected to be returned to congress Ut the coming election; reviewed for them his record at Washington and gave his word that he would do all i1n his power for the small towns If sent back Several railroad men present questioned MT. Lonergan in regard to the Adamson bill and were given satisfactory answers as were z several strangers who questioned hin \ In regard to the Mexican situation. MT. Lonergan is well known in Ken sington and has always been received here with the we'll wishes of the people. He is an old time friend of Postmaster William Pagan and it Is due to MT. Lonergan that MT. Fa- s gan holds his present office. Post master A. B. Goodrich of Berlin IS another friend of MT. Lonergan and he also is thankful to him fo1, his 0resent position.
 The chairman of the town com- nittee, John Moore, also addressed the crowd with a few we'll chosen remarks. An Italian speaker from q New Haven told the local Italian members of the democratic party of the issues of the campaign and most favorable impression. MT. Moore said today that another rally would be- held in @ few weeks and he was sure MT. Duffy would appear. This fast announcement brought forth 2, burst of applause and it can easily be seen that another full house will be the result.

According to the claims made Corlert appeared at the Town hall shortly be- fore the polls closed. His name was not on the voting list but when some of the workers vouched that he had voted a year ago the registrars per mitted him to cast a ballot believing that his name might have been erased through an error.
 It Is now said that objection will be made to his taking the oath should he present himself for exam inatiOn before the coming election on the grounds that he Is an undesirable and not worthy of the right of suf- frage.

Hartford officials and the state commissioner recom- l mended them to the selectman as the standard type and expressed the opinion that they will prove satisfac- tory.
 Negroes on Strike.
 Nett1ed because of the action of the l company in deducting the full amount of their transportation expenses from the south from their first weeks pay, 1,egroes employed as truckers at the transfer station refused to go to work this morning and there was but little activity on the platform The rlen remained in the cars provided for their sleeping and dining accom- nodations or roamed around the streets. They had no plans but stated that they would not return to work until the company lived up to it's orig inal agreement with them.
 When they were hired in Virginia to come north the negroes signed con- tracts to work for a period of sixty days at the rate of zoe per hour, their eating expenses to be deducted from their pay. They were to be charged $S for their transportation to Con- necticut, $1 to be taken each week from their pay envelope until the bill was paid. The amount was to be re- turned to them after they had worked for two months in accordance with the agreement and the company was to provide free transportation on the return trip south, providing they de- cided to give up their places.
 The darkeys have been here for two weeks and last night they were to receive their first pay, the company holding back a weeks wages to insure their living up to the contract agree ment. In their pay envelopes they were surprised to find less than $1; the company having deducted $8 the full amount of their transportation expenses from their wages.
 The men had been growing rest less for several days and apparently were not enthusiastic over their work. The feeling was intensified when they were paid off and today they rolled over in their hunks for a second "snooze' when the call to begin the days activities was sounded.
 
 ported, were at work on the plat forms, and because of the conditions some of the checkers had to be laid off. The local officials took up the 1 matter with the New Haven office l where the deduction was made and l they expected that the difficulties would be adjusted by night.
 Voters Take Oath.
 Town Clerk R. c. Usher and the l members of the board of selectmen l were in session today to administer 1 the electors oath to those on the reg | istrars' "to- be-made" list. They had 1 an easy day as but few Of the 116 men whose names were taken by the registrars made an appearance. They will meet again next Friday, their session lasting from o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening.
 Among the names on the to-be- made list is that of Burtler COrlett, a negro resident, who 1t is alleged voted at the town election last month.

 As MT. Wooding owns the property in the rear and at the side of the site he has all but granted permission to change the course. If permission is granted, "Dynamite" Jones will be called upon and it will then be but a matter of time before the land will be drained and fit to build on. Ground for the new building will be broken just as soon as the negotiations have been completed.

Other Material.

A useful basket is illustrated in the
accompanying sketch. Plain white
wood wickerwork paper baskets of the
nature shown in the small sketch on
the right Of the illustration may be
purchased very inexpensively, and
they lend themselves for decoration in
many different and pretty ways.
The basket shown is lined with
sateen, and this can be easily done by
cutting out pieces Of material of the
required size and shape and fastening
them in place with stitches run in and
out the wickerwork.
At the top and again at the base
the basket is ornamented with broad
bands of floral ribbon, and the space
between the bands is covered with soft
darker colored silk arranged in a num-
Der of fine plaits. The handles, upper
edge and lower rim of the basket are
painted with enamel of a color to
match the silk.

Korean Etiquette

A recent Washington dispatch de.
clares that good many changes have
taken place in Korean manners and
etiquette since the Japanese came into
control. A girls high school was es-
tablished at Seoul in 1908, and the
girls who were admitted, fifty-four in
number, were the daughters of noble
men. The teachers were women at
first, but as the needs of the school
grew and became more exacting. a few
male instructors were appointed. The
community in general, and the pupils
parents in particular, were enraged,
alleging that it was an objectionable
offense for men to enter the gate of a
girls school. even if they were teach
ers.
The school authorities. therefore.
made a concession that the male
teachers should veil their faces when
they passed the gate of the school. 1t
is an absurd evasion, but the students
parents were satisfied with it. Some
or the girls are attended by two or
three chaperons, or maids, even when
at their studies.-Youth's Companion.

NEW DESIGN FOR THE CORSET
They Are Now Being Made to Follow
the Figure and Pinch the
Waist.

The cut of the coat Of the period de-
cides the shape OF the corset. This
is a rule which has held for a very
long time and is just now proving
itself anew. The coats of the late year
began to have pronounced back line.
There was a definite shoulder, an ac-
centuated waist line and positive hip
extension. By the middle of January
the first of the new corsets was on
sale and it differed essentially from
the old straight-front model, which,
with slight modification, has obtained
these last five years.
The new model differs most radical
~ under the arms. The line there is
curved, following exactly the lines
OF The figure and allowance is made
for a pull-in of at least two inches at
the waist line.
The front, too, is no longer straight,
but is allowed to curve out slightly
above the waist, and the hips are not
only left normal. but in many in
stances allowance is made for slight
padding. The bust is high.
AS to length, there is a good deal of
allowance made for individual taste.
That the very long-skirted corsets are
no more the mode is obvious, for 1t is
no longer necessary TO have the
smoothly defined hip line, but, on the
other hand, the very short girdle stay

that where lacing is required, health

pull, rather than a short, violent one.

Cuban .Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber. the new Cuban substi-
tute for jute, is a product of malva
blanca Urena lobata), large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that In the experiments of
the last two years, the extraction has
been brought to successful CONNER
cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with
jute. has been used for the soles of
cloth shoes, about twenty tons having
been sold last year at six cents q
pound. The hope of the process own
ers is to make the material into the
100000 sugar sacks annually need
ed in Cuba. It is claimed that a 2h-
pound sack OF malva fiber can be
profitably marketed at to 10 cents,
while the normal cost OF jute sacks is
is TO is cents each, the wartime price
having risen to % to 80 cents.
