RECEIVES ANOTHER BULLETIN ON POSTAL REFORM.
Says Division of Supplies Is Now an Efficiently Organized Force.

Postmaster John r. Murphy of the local postoffice has received from the postoffice department at Washington bulletin on the progress iE postal reform which emphasizes the better methods used at less cost. s
 The division of supplies Is now one of tn eefffciently organized forces of the postofhce department. It was not so, however, until tho advent of this administration, when .he management of this particular branch of tine service passed into the hands of the present fourth assistant postmaster general, of whose bureau this division is an inn portant part. It deals directly with the postmasters throughout the country, and its duties are to see that they are properly and promptly supplied with the means of conducting the public business, the blanks, hooks, forms and various supplies which the service re- quires.
 The 55,000 postoffices in the United States naturally require an enormous amount t5f supplies with which to con- duct the business of the government. this year for the service 6S0,0 miles of twine, weighing 4,000,000 pounds, enough to encircle the globe z times and which would fill 60 big freight cars; 15,000 gallons of ink and muci1- age; more than a billion facing slips; anu dll OlH6T lOIIilS O1 SdpDllGs5 III COi responding magnitude. This division alone has 30 tons of material, in the way of supplies in transit every work ing day of the year, practically all postal supplies being now sent by freight, at an annua! saving of ap- proximately a quarter of million dol lars. When it is considered that the purchase, control and issue of all these supplies is centered il the department at Washington for the more effective supervision winch such a vast business demands, in order that judiCious ocon- omy may be considered in contract and purchase and discoverabic waste checked in issue, it will be seen that, properly interpreted. this meaDs unre- hitting attention and vigilance on ev- cry hand. so that all possible benefits may be secured from these wise and necessary provisions

CONNECTICUT COLLEGE NOTES. 3ssgEsS. ---------z-z.lszs zs5l ss55 ssslzs ss5ss5. New Dormitory Cpered This Week. Norwich Girl Registered at Winthrop House - Science Journal Club Formed,

After many disappo1ntments and
 postponements, Winthrop, the new col lege dornitory, was opened on Tues day. All during the day the students might have been seen carrying clothes, pictures, banners, etc. from one dorrni- tory to the other. Tho College News, issued every two weeks, contained a set of verses concerning the delay in opening Winthrop house. The verses. entitled On to Winthrop, were written by Miss Helen Hankemyer Of Litch- field. N. Il. = .ss- The Connecticut College Fleet. In the college paper of this week there appears very clever pen sketch by Miss Betty Williams of Hartford which bears in staTpg hea dimes The Connecticut College Fleet, and beneath the picture these words: We Believe in Preparedness. The drawing is a very true view of the college boat house, which still lacks a part of it's
 roof, although that deficiency was sup piled by the artist, who appended this
 note: The roof is added for arts sake only" The one lone boat used by the classes in rowing instructed by Miss Reicheldorfer is to be seen tied up to the boathouse.
 It has been rumored that students of the rowing division of the department of physical education are to open a
 campaign to raise funds for a regular boathouse with a roof and additional boats for practice on the river Such d fund would be of great benefit to the department.
 At the meeting of the Debating and Literary club held on Thursday Mrs. Frederick H. Sykes, wife of the presi- dent of the college, addressed the club
 on the question of woman suffrage. Registered at Winthrop House. Among the students registered at l Winthrop house are Miss Irene Wholey of Norwich and Miss Josephine Emer- son of Jewett City.
 At convocation held Tuesday morn- | ing Walter S. Swisher of New London gave a delightful an obstructive lec- lure recital on Chopin. This lecture
 was very much enjoyed by the faculty and college body, who with insistent applause forced MT. Swisher to re- spond to an encore.
 The New Gym.
 l The executive committee of the col | lege visited the campus Wednesday | to select a site for the college gymna- ] sium which is to be erected impedi- | ately. Bids for the erection of the | building have been called for by the | architect, and work will be con- I menced on the building as soon as the contract is awarded. The site select
 ed for the gymnasium is east of the l line upon which New London hall and | Blackstone house are located and to
 the north of tnose buildings. Students | who were active in the raising of the original fund for the erection of the l building, the fund amounting to $7,000 | have decided to use that sum as ar equipment fund, as the gift of Mrs 1 Hillyer of Hartford has made the gymnasium possible without the money | raised by the class of 1919.

Fred Fulton Given
Decision Over Flynn
In Ten-Round Bout

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. o.-Fred Full
ton of Rochester, Mimi, aspirant for
the heavyweight championship title,
was given newspaper decision over
Dan (Porky) Flynn of Boston in
ten-round, no decision bout here to-
night.
Fulton led in all but the third and
fifth rounds, which were even.
At the very outset, Fulton rushed
into lead by sending Flynn to the
floor in less than a minutes fighting.
The Boston man seemed somewhat
dazed for the balance of the round
and during the second, but fought to
even terms in the third. Fulton
gained advantage in the fourth, the
next was even, and the sixth went to
the Rochester man by shade.
Flynn was hanging on before the
end OF the seventh round and in the
eighth seemed in great distress. He
came back strong in the ninth, how
ever, and forced Fulton to fast mixing
before the latter gained a shade.
Much clinching marred the latter
rounds, with Flynn again hanging on
in the tenth.

WILSON PREDICTS
SUFFRAGE VICTORY
President Tells Women Their
Cause VIII Triumph 'in a
Little While"
HERE TO FIGHT WITH YOU"

Atlantic City, Sept, 9,--Triumph for
the woman suffrage cause 'in little
while" was predicted by President
Wilson last night ina speech be-
fore the annual convention of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage
association.
II have come here to fight with
you," the president declared. lmme-
diately the 1000 women present stood
and cheered. A few minutes later DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, honorary presi-
dent OF the association, with Mr.. Will
son still present, declared:
1--WE have waited long enough to
get the vote. We want it now. |
want it to come during your admins:
tration." Again the great audience of
women stood and cheered, waving
handkerchiefs.
Response Of Mrs. Gait.
The presidents pledge of support to
the suffrage question caused Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president OF the
organization, to say in a speech soon
after he closed;
"You touched our hearts and won
our fealty when you said you had
come here to fight with II"
The president did not speak on the
method by which he would bring
about woman suffrage, but said I'VE
shall not quarrel in the long run as
to the method OF It."
The women in their speeches also
failed to mention the question OF
method.
The president was warmly applaud
ed before, during and after his speech.
With Mrs. Wilson he sat during sew
eral addresses. Fears expressed be-
fore the meeting that he might be
"heckled" did not materialize. At the
conclusion OF his address Mrs. Gait
thanked him for speaking.
Declaring that sometimes he be-
came "a little impatient" over discus
sions about the channels through
which votes for women are to come,
the presiden. caused the delegates to
applaud by saying II have felt here
the wholesome contagion Of the occa-
sion."
Mr.. Wilson aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm when he said whenever he
had come to Atlantic City previously
he had come to fight against some
body, but that on his present trip he
had come ito fight with somebody"
The women In the boxes, the
orchestra pit and the balcony stood
and cheered. !.
The meeting came to an end with
the president and Mrs. Wilson stand
ing between suffrage leaders joining
in singing patriotic songs.
In his address the president did not
mention his previously expressed be-
lief that suffrage should come through
action by the states.
"The whole nature Of our political
questions has been altered" he said.
Speaking OF the future Of the move
ment Mr.. Wilson declared that the
tide was rising and would soon come
to its flood.
