AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Howe's Travel Festival Comes to Barre
Opera House Sept. IL.

The success of Lyman H. Howe's trav-
Ell festival, which comes to the opera
house on Tuesday, Sept. Il, is due to a
great extent to the fact that Mr. Howe
knows how to make each picture do its
own talking more eloquently than any
lecturer could. The new program demon
strates the value of his attraction as the
best kind of an evenings entertainment
imaginable. Stirring scenes from odd
corners of the world are presented in
such rapid succession that the whole pro-
gram affords one continual thrill OF de
light.

did series of Hawaii, showing exception

Revenue Ruling Will
Affect Many Faramers

No longer may the farmer crush
and ferment his grapes freely into
wine that may be drunk during the
winter, according to new ruling of
the commissioner Of internal revenue
at Washington upon the revised reve-
nue. act of September, 1916.
Heretofore the farmer by the mere
crushingl of his surplus grapes from
the arbor has been able to make bar
rels of wine for home consumption by
the mere addition Of sugar. Fer
menting during the autumn months
during the middle winter it has be-
come a fragrant beverage. No liquor
tax had been imposed unless at
tempts were made to sell it.
By the new ruling cit is permits
sible to crush grapes on unbonded
premises, provided the juice of the
grapes is removed from the premises
while wholly unfermented. Persons
receiving such grape juice, if allow
ing the same to ferment, must quail
fly as wine makers
Such wine-makers must qualify I'M
der the law with a license and duly
stamp all their products according to
law.
Farmers, who in the future con-
tinue their practice of making wines
for home consumption will lay them
selves liable to prosecution by the
federal agents.

Takahashi Says Talk
of Jap. U. S. Scrap
Is Born of Illusion

Toxic. Dec. 16.-The American
naval expansion program was the
subject of lecture delivered recent
ly before the National Defense Asso-
citation by Commander Sosaburo
Takahashi, a member of the naval
staff board.
The newspapers quote Commander
Takahashi as expressing the opinion
that the much-talked-of, American
Japanese war was illusory and mat
ter of impossibility, but as holding
that it was a greater illusion to take
an optimistic view of Americas poll
cy of preparedness. The speaker
thought it dangerous to take an easy
view of American naval expansion
and emphatically laid stress on the
importance of the expansion Of the
Imperial navy with view to keep
in pace with American preparedness.
Commander Takahasi dwelt upon
the speedy construction of American
warships and the activity of Ameri-
can shipbuilders. He referred to the
positive defense measures being Ella
borately worked out by the United
States in the Pacific, the Philippines,
together with an extensive plan to
complete communications between
the American possessions in the Paci-
fic.
Other speakers recommended the
establishment of additional iron foun-
dries in Japan, pointing out how the
lack of them had been keenly felt by
the belligerent nations since the out
break of the war.

LOCAL G.. OF C.. JOINS

The Bridgeport. Chamber of Com

the local body refrained from joining
the general body though it had repre-
sentation in the state organization.

granted last night in the persons of

not to lose the sale the second dealer
would have allowed you five months.
third dealer would probably have
allowed you six, and so on. This sort
of thing happened, and as it has de-
moralized every other business in
which loose time payment arrange
ments were possible, so it threatened
to- demoralize> the automobile bust
ness
Many time payment arrangements
were long winded and subjected the
purchaser to- more or less humilia-
ton. In the first place there was the
haggling for terms. In the second
place when the purchasers note is
taken by the dealer to his bank for
discount, the privacy of the transac-
ton is revoked. The note is nego-
table instruments and apt to be
hawked about. There is also the mat
ter of a chattel mortgage, which has
to be recorded, and often places the
buyer in an unpleasant light as a
credit risk.
Because of competitive time al
lowance, carrying notes on insufficient
capital, impairing local credit facil-
tiles by discounting a good deal of
paper at the bank, wasting time on
of note brokers, dealers lost money
on time payments and the industry
frowned on the time payment propo-
sition.
But the fault lay not in selling on
time. It lay in the existing system.
The situation was serious, but by no
means discouraging. If you analyse
it you can readily see how it, came
about. It was simply this. The man
ufacturing end of the automobile in
dustry had grown at such rate that
it had outstripped the scope Of the
credit machinery available to the
automobile merchant There was a
crying need for a strong financial in
stitution equipped to organize and
stabilize credit in the business. And
Guaranty Securities Corporation was
formed to meet this need.
1--WE believe that when automobile
time payments are put on a sound
economic basis throughout the coun-
try the trade and the consumer will
be immeasurably benefited Our ex-
perience in financing the sale of $685.
O0O, 900 worth of cars on time during
the past few months, has amply
justified this belief.

ARE NOW MAKING
A|RSHIP MOTORS
Will Be Exhibited at Pan
American AerOnautics
Exhibition

Automobile manufacturers since
the outbreak of the European War
have been devoting much serious at
tention to the construction Of aero
plane motors for two distinct rea-
sens. Some of these makers intend
to build and market motors for aero
planes, while others are merely ex-
perimenting with them in order to
learn what they can from this type
of engine, to incorporate in automo-
bile engine construction. A number
Of automobile parts and accessories
makers, with this idea in mind, will
exhibit at the first Pan-American
Aerona Exposition to be held
February to Is in Grand Central
Palace, New York city, OF course
there will be no motor cars exhibit
ed at the Exposition, but neverthe
less the engineering and research de-
partment of practically every auto
mobile factory in the country will be
represented, for many already have
advised Mr.. Coffin of this intention
and have promised to do everything
in their power to promote the success
of this show and to secure recogn1-
ton of the real Importance of this
exposition to the government and to
the commercial interests of the cOun-
try.
Within a very short time automo-
bile engineers have learned great
deal from the aeronautic type of mo-
tor, which as rule is subject to far
greater strain than the automobile
motor, due largely to the fact that
the aero motor is forced to run at
high speed at all times with scarcely
any shutting off or coasting. In this
IL m
which shuts down it's motor speed
when in traffic or in turning corners
and coasting hills.
The experimental departments OF
several Detroit and Indianapolis
makers have built aeroplane motors
and mounted them in automobile
GLASSES, some of the ideas for these
motors having been suggested by the
Mercedes aviation motor, one of
which was brought over here in
racing car chassis and driven by
Ralph De Palma. Indeed, the avia-
ton motor has been largely respon-
sible for the development of several
makes of multi-cylinder engines
Fights and twelves-which are now
rapidly appearing on the market. 1t
was the inspiration of the substitu-
ton of light aluminium for steel in
some styles of motor construction.
Many automobile accessories have
been and are constantly being con-
verted or reconstructed to become
adaptable to the aeroplane, as for .ex-
ample starting by systems, cooling
systems, magnetos, multiple jet car
buretrso, pneumatic tires, etc. At
the forthcoming Aero Show there
will be shown thousands of the most
modern inventions in this line.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
STANFORD LADY ASSAULTED

Miss Florence Allen, an estimable
young woman of Stratford, whose
father controls the New York and
Eastern News Agency in the city,
was assaulted on her way home last
night. The assaul occurred opposite
ex-Representative Arden Judd's
house in Broad street about 10
o'clock She was returning from a
concert in the town hall at that time
and was carrying her pocketbook in
her hand at that time. Her own
house is next to Mr.. Judd's. It was
just opposite his door that she heard
someone following her. She turned
about to see who it was, but the fig
ure lodged behind her, grabbed her
by the shoulder and threw her down:
The assailant tried to cover her
mouth, but she gave a scream that
aroused the Judd household and Mr.
Judd ran to her assistance The as
sailant could not get her pocketbook,
which is evidently what he was aft
er, for as soon as he saw the door Of
the Judd house open he took to his
heels and ran.

STRAY MILLIONS
ARE RECLAIMED
BY The OWNERS
Dead Letter Department of
p. o. Handles Much Mis-
directed Cash.

Washington, Dec. IGNORE than
worth of checks, drafts, money or
ders and other valuable papers were
found in unbelievable letters by the
Dead Letter Office during the last
year and practically all were restor-
ed to their owners. First Assistant
Postmaster General Daniel G. Roper
in his annual report announces that
the Dead Letter Division handled TO-
839;890 letters and parcels during the
year, a slight increase over the pre-
vious year. One-third of these let
ters and parcels, or 3,677,194 was de-
Hvered; 1O1, 485 contained things Of
value without clue to their senders
and were held for claimants; 7,O19,-
436 had to be destroyed and 41,775
were still being investigated.
In addition to the valuable papers,
with a face value of $2,3O3,119, found
in undelivered letters, many contain
ed stamps and some currency was
found loose in the mails. The. stamps
and currency unclaimed, together
with proceeds from the sale of ar
ticles of merchandise removed from
undelivered letters, aggregated $751;
665 and $1,000 was realized from six
months operation Of new postal
regulation requiring collection of one
cent on advertised letters, making the
total net revenue $64,665. Mr.. Ro-
per says that the revenue estimated
under present conditions for a year
would be approximately $4,000,
which would make the Dead Letter
Division self-sustaining.
To prevent the unnecessary ac-
emulation Of letters containing va1u-
able Enclosure, a provision was con-
tanned in the last postal approprla-
ton law reducing the limit of time
that such letters shall be held await
ing reclamation from four years to
two years The Postoffice Depart
ment has decided to discontinue the
final disposition of dead parcels by
the postofices at Pittsburgh and
Cleveland Such matter formerly go
ing to Pittsburgh will be sent to New
York city, while that in Ohio, for
inerly going to Cleveland will be sent
to Cincinnati, and matter from the
Southern peninsula of Michigan will
go to Chicago.
On account Of the large growth in
the parcel post business, experience
has demonstrated that the accumula-
ton of this matter at the points desig-
mated for handling dead parcels mas
become so large as to make it diff
cult to find space for it's accomrno-
dation. Regulation provide, in the
case of insured parcels, that claims
for indemnity must be filed within
six months, and it has been found
there is very little call for lost par
cells after the lapse of that time. Ac-
cordingly an order will be issued
amending the regulations SO as to re-
duce the time for holding such par
cells prior to sale from q months to
six months. Last year 1851 par
cells were found unbelievable.
Dead mail received by the Division
of Dead Letters during the year con-
tanned 677,700 misdirected letters,
2HS,70O letters held for postage, AGO.
200 letters written on hotel letter
paper. by persons unknown to the no
tells and 104,700 letters bearing ficti-
tious signatures.
