ing FIaSe.
 To the accompaniment of the click ing of motion picture cameras owned by some of the most famous film com panies in the world, carpenters to the number of more than 50 climbed like monkeys Friday moving over the framework of the big bonded ware house of corrugated iron now in it's second day of construction at the state steamship terminal in East New ondon, and destined for the immedi- ate use of the Eastern Forwarding famous line of German undersea mer- chautment of which the Deutschland was the pioneer.
 The T. A. Scott Co.,. which has the contract from the agengs of the Teu- tonic line for the erection of the great storage structure which will re- Ccive outgoing CargOes for the Bremen and other submersibles, is utilizing every minute of daylight and every available man to expedite the task and complete the warehouse within | the prescribed F days.
 More Men on Job.
 l The force of workers of various i kinds employed on the contract, es- tinated at approximately 100 Thurs 1 day. was greatly augmented Friday. 1 Carpenters are probably receiving the l highest wages ever paid that class of labor in New London and the overtime | which they receive makes their day's s pay decidedly attractive. The impres- ] sion is given that all employees are nutUirg their utmost energy into their 1 work with the result that the up- rights of the structure appear to rise l by magic.
 | The motion picture men found | much to interest them and took many | scenes in connection with the build | ing operations. The companies which | they represent are very evidently sat- l isfed that the Bremen is to make New London her port, for the oper- kators have been instructed to remain here until the IOng-lOOked for peri scope is reported. Then they predict there will be a grand rush to oDtaIr the most spectacular reels.
 Besides the motion camera kodakS snapped merrily all day long at the steamship terminal Crowds of sight seers thronged the vicinity, watching
 the progress of the warhOuse anC
 hazarding guesses as to when the

 Strange Wireless Calls.
 Two strange wireless calls for Tel efunken station, New York; heard at Sandy Hook between l and 3 o'clock this morning, and the refusal of the sender to disclose his identity, al- though questioned by the shore sta- tions, led to the belief that the call might be the German submarine Bre- men. This could not be verified. The cutler signed his message with the signal ID. B. U.'' which is the pri- vate signal of the North German LIcyd steamer Breslau, believed to be laid up in the port of New Orleans. The mysterious caller would say only that he was on board a coal steamer. All German ships before the war used 1 the TeIefunken call.
 The first of the wireless flashes was received at 1..5O a. m. and the sender
 was told by the shore stations that ] the TelefunBen station was then closed. An hour later the sender asked l the shore station at Sea Gate to ascer- i tain when the Telefunken station l would be opened.

on the charge of conducting a house of
prostitution failed yesterday and the
county attorneys office stated that the
prosecution would be carried out. The
material witness is Fern Helen
Schmidt, 15-year-0ld girl, whom the
police found among the inmates at the
Kelley house. The case will come up
for hearing before Judge Names Mon
day The girls father declared yes
terday morning that he would insist
on prosecution Of the case. He said
his daughter had been enticed away
from home by the Kelley woman Dec.
II and that he had not driven her
away. This is contradicted by the
statement which the girl gave the po
lice. Fern. he said, was a playmate of
one Of the girls in the Kelley family
and had gone there to play. She and
her girl friend graduated from gram
mar school last June. Going to the
Kelley home for no other purpose and
not knowing that it had an unsavory
reputation, the 15-year-old girl had
fallen into evil hands and was forced
to begin life Of shame, he said.
Church Drops Word English ST.
Pauls English Lutheran church is no
longer the same. The word English
has been dropped forever, and from
now on will not appear on the church
notices or on any Of the church litera-
ture. Instead, the church, located al
the corner of Main and Fourteenth
street, will from now on be known as
St Paul's American Lutheran church.
The change is authoTitatiyely made and
is stamped with the approval Of Rev.
W II. Blancke, the pastor. So many
Of Rev. Blancke's parishioners are
sympathizers with the German cause
and are opposed to the English, who
they believe responsible for the pres
ent great European war, that they OBJ
ject to have their church called Eng
lish." They have asked DR.. Blancke
to drop this word, really obsolete, out
of the church title, and he has acceded
to their wishes. But there is more
than this behind the change in the
church title" declared DR.. Blancke yes
terday. Our church is no more Eng
lish than it is German or Swedish. We
are really the Evangelical Lutheran
church, and We are distinctly Ameri-
can church. It is as that that we wish
to be known. There is countrywide
movement to substitute American for
English in our church title, and it will
probably succeed"

Seals Can Drown.

It is a curious fact that the fur seal
was once land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water;
they would drown If thrown into 1t,
and have to learn 10 swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget TO walk.
There are in existence only two i'm.
portant herds of fur seals, one Of
which has its breeding ground In the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia. the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging to the United States. or
these the latter is much the larger
The Pribilof islands are government
property. and thus it happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd Of fur senls in the world.

same time OF furnishing the necessary
cash to pay all expenses. In the farm
ing sections of our country which have
enjoyed the greatest and most lasting
prosperity, the grasses and clovers
have always occupied an important
place. He has 90 acres in a bermuda
and lespedeza pasture. The larger
part of the land now devoted to per-
manent pasture was first planted to
winter oats. Small areas Of the pas
ture is now we'll sodded in bermuda
and lespedeza or Japan clover. He
will thoroughly sod every square foot
OF this pasture land in bermuda grass
and lespedeza within the next year or
two. The best pastures in the cotton
belt are perhaps those which In sum-
mer consist of bermuda grass and les
pedeza. With the addition of burr
clover, white clover, crimson clover,
hairy vetch and red top, when the
soil is sufficiently fertile, such pas
lures can be grazed the year round.
Mr.. Wood is not only increasing the
productiveness of his soil; he is also
improving the yielding power Of the
oat, corn and other seed planted on
this farm. He realizes the fact that
like produces like and he has pur-
chased the very best seed from per-
fectly reliable seed breeders and will
use every known scientific method to
further improve the yielding power OF
the seed. His part in obtaining the
most prolific seed and in growing, Sc
lecting and caring for such seed will
not be appreciably greater than the
work necessary to handle scrub seed.

Disposition Of Milk.
He sells nearly all OF the milk to the
female college, soda founts. and pri-
vate families. However, he purchased
a separator to separate the surplus
milk. He does not make butter as he
can easily dispose of the cream OBJ
tanned from the milk that he does not
place on the market. The separator
gets all the cream OF the milk, the
cream obtained is sweet and of the
