LATHERs' DEMANDS GRANTED.

The demand of the fathers, for an increase in pay to thirty cents a bundle, was granted at a meeting of the Master Mason's association held last evening. The new price will commence today and the strike which no doubt would have resulted if the demands had not been granted, will not be called. The masons were paying twenty-seven cents which they considered sufficient but as the build ing boom was on in other cities they gave the increase rather than have the men leave. Local building oper- ations would have been left in the air if the demands had not been granted.

TROLLEY EXTENSION
 FOR MANY SECTIONS
Committees in Joint Session Hear
 Of City's Needs

Trolley extension north, north east southeast and southwest were under discussion at the joint meeting of the chamber of commerce trolley exten- sion committee and the railroad com mlttee of the common council at city nall last evening. The meeting was held in the mayors office and opened at 3 o'clock with Chairman G. M. Landers of the railroad committee presiding.
 The proposed extension of the East Main street line from the terminus at FalrNleW cemetery to the railroad crossing at Smalley street was first taken up. Abraham Gorbach, secre- tary of the Title Realty & Development company, which has holdings on East street and in RussWin park, spoke for the extension. His company has built fifteen houses and expects to erect many more. The extension, he said, would greatly benefit East street resi- dents. There is between S15O,00O and $175,000 in new property in that ter ritOry or adjacent to it.
 F. F. Hall representing the cham Der of commerce told of the recent in spectiOn made of the territory to be benefited. Personally he discovered that between 175 and 200 people who are employed by Landers, Frary & Clark live east of the tracks and would benefit by the trolley eXtensiOn A question arose regarding the char ter rights. Superintendent l.. $. Beardsley, who was present at the in vitation of the committee, said he was somewhat hay on the point. Secre- tary Andrews of the chamber of com merce said the original rights granted in 1893 were. perpetual and covered the proposed eXtensiOn
 Arch Street Extension.
 The proposed extension of the Arch street line from the bridge terminal to Shuttle Meadow avenue and Lincoln street came next. George P. Hart and w. T Sloper appeared for the recent lv incorporated Shuttle Meadow club, which now has large holdings in the southwest section of the city. MT. Hart told of the Shuttle Meadow club property. While a large portion of the land is to be developed into a golf course, it is proposed to develop real estate for residential purposes along Lincoln street. This, he said would be greatly helped by the trolley eNten- ion.
 Taking the ground that the terri tory on Shuttle Meadow avenue west of Vance street does not need trolley development under presnt conditions H. V. Camp proposd that the line be turned north at Vance street and then

bulls eye target and the hillside. Our conception of control now is decidely improved from what it was a few weeks ago.
 Feature of the Day.
 The big feature of the day came when the pit details were relieved from stone shower baths in response to mess call. Captain Ladbury gave us a chance to appreciate the worries of the cook by trying out our skill as cuisine artists. Given a mess pan, onion, potatoe, coffee and hardtacll what would you have done with same? Casual observations of the hclDlessn ess of some of the lads seemed to infer that they would wait for supper. Tn meantime the meal was prepared, but hardly in harmony with Dr. Wiley's preachings. Perhaps the boys, mind full of the "peck of dirt axiom, want ed all theirs at once. It is difficult to state which of the two were in the majority, the dirt or the food but where the men had fires on a "sandy beach" it is to be believed that the ratio was much in favor of the dirt.
 Catches Rabbit With Hands.
 Jackasses, sunsets and ''greasers" being the predOminating features here, have heretofore been given consider able attention while jackrabbits have been sadly neglected. Today, this specie came into prominence when Captain Ladbury was scurrying around the range i'll search of curios for col lection that he intends to send home. On his return to camp the captain had hi ,1o claimed he captured With his hands. That would be stretching it several de- grees, but if said bunny can withstand the trip home then he will be a silent teStim Onal of the truth.
 Home comforts continue to prevail
 Home comforts continue to prevail. Music, baseball and an outfit that has been infused with a vagabOndian spirit High Ginks or a state of mind that spells content. The sicklist is nil. Con- ditions here have now turned in our favor so that the indispOsed man is an exception rather than the rule. Hot weather has no terror for the near-Indians that were let loose from New Britain.
 Plan Trip By Battalions.
 Captain Ladbury plans to take a few of the men on an all-day hike Sunday to make further progress on the col lection for the exhibition of Arizona wonders that is to be forwarded in the near future to New Britain.
 When the boys cease to find satis- faction in gazing at the photographs of themselves perhaps they Will mail a few home, reluctantly parting with one or two that show them in their favOrite pose.

New Hartford Line

The proposed new Hartford line from the Stanley street terminal nOrthWard to Corbin's corner and thence east to ElmWOOd, where it would join with the Hartford line to Elmwood was explained by E. o. <il- bourne, who has been working on this problem for number of years. Mir. KilbOurne exhibited blueprint show ing the proposed route. The plan is to follow Stanley street to the proposed park entrance at Stanley street and Blake road. The line would then en- ter the lots and cut off the curve around TbelIe's corner. East of the bridge near IbolIes the line would again strike the highway and follow it to F7lmWOOd. MT. KilbOurne said the distance to be, covered is about three and One-half miles. The extension, he maintained, would greatly aid in dovel- Oping the north section of the city as well as ElmWCOd and the southwest section of Hartford. At present peO- pie who reside in this city and work in Hartford are averse to living in the northern section of the city owing to the roundabout course it is necessary to follow to reach the Capitol city. Many New Britain people work in the
New Britain herald., 1916-08-15

ElnwOOd and ParkVille factories and would be greatly helped by the pro- posed extension. It is argued that the line does not simply duplicate the ex- isting line to Hartford, but will serve other purposes and will aid greatly in the development of both New Britain and Hartford.
 At the conclusion of the hearings the various projects were discussed It was voted to report to the common cuncil favoring the immediate eXten- sion of the East Main street line to the railroad tracks. In regard to the other extensions the committee decid- ed to report progress and will again go over the territories which would be benefited by the extensions.
 Trolley Waiting station.
 The question of a waiting room and comfort house at the lower end of the park came up for discussion. Mayor Quigley explained that the reason he vetoed the measure which passed at the last council meeting was due to the ia ct that it was proposed to take the land at the foot f the park for the purpose. He is not aVcrse t0 the waiting station, but thought the land in the sO-caIled triangle south of the park should be used. Councilman Landers said ne was agreeable al- though he had felt that the street traffic needed all possible room. It was explained that the ground is already being used for waiting purposes and a restricted section has been set off with ropes. Mayor Quigley said there migh be difficulty in putting comfo1t station underground as the Main street sewer gives trouble in that section. MT. I.anders promised to have a tenta tive plan drawn and will exhibit it when the committees again meets.

Nogales, Arizona, Aug. 9.-The men munched on a breakfast this morning that befits a king and then fell in for the hike to the range well before even the milkman had started his daily route. It takes little time for the sun to get working 100 per cent efficiency, so the companies start all hikes with the chickens. The en- tire day was spent on long range and quick fire was held in order to ascer- tain how pronounced a difference the

west along Monroe or Winthrop street extension to Lincoln street and south on Lincoln street to the proposed ter minal. He thought this plan would serve many more people and would aid in developing much property now in the works The idea was not fa- vOred by MT. SlOper, who owns prop erty on Lincoln street near the june tiOn of Monroe and Lincoln. The property owners on that section of Lincoln street are not in favor of a trolley line in the street.
 SOuth-Cast Extension.
 MT. Hall explained the proposed southeast development, an extension of the Chestnut street line from the present terminal at Fairview and Pleasant streets. The plan is to car ry the extension south through Fair view to- Kelsey then west through Kelsey to Stanley and south on Stan ley to the junction of East Ellis. The extension, he explained, will prove a great stimulus to the dcvel0Dment of property in the neighbOrhOOd of South Stanley street and will be of immediate benefit to factory workers who will oc- cupy the new chamber of commerce factory south Of Ellis street. Council llttiI ' t!h 0lid 1\ efSOn or the railroad committee thought the development in the proposed direction would give lit tie help to the region east of Stanley street and later Mayor Quiglev spoke in the same vein. He maintained that the old Scotch settlement region has been sadly neglected and that pro- perty here is receding in value through the lack of trolley facilities.
 The great obstacle to extension east of the Pleasant street terminus is steen grades on both Pleasant and Kelsey streets. It was pointed out that the mot logical development for the Scotch settlement section would be an extension from the Hartford line at East and Jubilee streets. East street a good grade for a trolley line far better than Kelsey and Pleasant streets.

BETTER NEVER THAN LATE
Lover Puts One Over on His
Rich Rival.

After celebrating three days and
three nights, the beautiful Maggie
Nesia decided to reject the handsome
but poor Sidney Weevil and marry the
rich but homely Airedale Mangle.
There's only one serious thing
against you, Airedale," she told him.
You are not prompt, and you know
how l love promptness. If you keep
me waiting one minute at the church
l shall refuse to bake your fapjacks."
Fear not, Maggie" replied Aire-
dale.
The wedding evening approached,
drew near, arrived
A figure in evening clothes drew it
self up to the ivy vine that overspread
the wall of the Mangle home When
he reached Airedales window he
paused.
"Good!' he whispered. II can hear
him taking a bath!' And he crept into
the room and gathered up every collar
button in sight.
Then the poor but handsome Sidney
Weevil (for it was he) climbed down
the vine again, brushed off the leaves
and silk worms and hurried to the
church. The fatal hour arrived, but
not so Airedale Mangle.
Maggie waited.-Detroit Free Press.

Effect Of DRINKING water.

An analysis of perspiration shows IT
to be of a poisonous nature, as might
be expected when one stops to consider
that it Is composed of water carrying
in solution the waste products of the
system. If the colon is impacted, as
it is apt to be unless one partakes free
" Of water, the perspiration is apt to
be strong and disagreeable, because 1t
must carry off the foul matter that
would otherwise be carried off through
the bowels. Likewise. if sufficient fluids
are not partaken of, the kidneys are
not doing their normal share Of carry
ing off the garbage of the system. and
as a consequence the perspiration must
do extra work and accordingly become
strong and disagreeable.
