Alfred E. Vanesse, superintendent of the Hopkins and Allen Arms Co, and Charles D. Chandler have been ap- pointed the sub- committee for Nor wich and vicinity for the collection of data to be furnished voluntarily to the naval consulting board in regard to the preparedness movement:
 The army and navy are starting out to thoroughly canvass the needs and capacity of the country for defensive purposes.
 Those who have heretofore not re- alized 1t are now learning that in ad- dition to men, ships, guns and amrnu- food, hospital supplies, equipment, camp and transportation facilities and almost every thing that is manu- factured. It takes time and fore- thought to prepare these things. Cooperation between the govern ment and the manufa cturers is for the interest of the manufacturers as well as the people as represented by the government. The manufacturer needs men as well as the army and navy and the best results will be obtained by having the right man in the right place,
 The available forces are at worl determining the things necessary fol preparedness in the army and navy and the engineers and manufacturers of the country are voluntarily fur. nishing the naval consulting board ! with such information as will enable
 them to determine the present and
 prospective resources of the manufac.
 eurers for supplying such needs. There is nothing compulsory abouf the matter but 1t will be for the ad. vantage of the manufacturers to bs ] thus placed in touch with those whG may be their customers in the future

NEW RAVENS EFFORTS
 FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROL
Railroad Will Conduct Further Exper- innents and Tests on It's Own Lines


 The New Haven railroad, to better handle it's investigation of automatic train control, has appointed F. H Nicholson assistant engineer and MT. Nicholson will devote his whole time to this important subject. The ap- pointment is to come under the juris- dtction of Signal Engineer Morrison's office.
 It is the intention of the New Ha- ven management to conduct further experiments and tests on it's own lines; to make thorough investigation and to continue the examination of train control devices brought to it's attention by inventors and others. The investigation will be directed in an effort to determine the degree of prac- ticabiity of each scheme measured by l conditions on the New Haven railroad.
 During the past four years the New Haven has thoroughly examined a l large number of plans of automatic stops, and has conducted tests of two trial installations on it's own lines. The examination of these plans, over yfnced its engineering and operating officials that automatic train control has not reached the degree of devel- opment that would eliminate introduc- l tion of other and greater hazards, and warrant either universal or limited adoption by the New Haven It is recognized, however, that a great deal of persistent and intelligent effort is being directed to the solu- | ton of the problem involved in the automatic control of trains, and the appointment of Mir. Nicholson to fol- low this work Is in line with the pur- l pose of the management to keep itself thoroughly and promptly informed o1 progress in the development of auto | natic train control.

 Rev. pr. HoHte spoke to the children from Kings 3.5, "The Lord appeared to Solomon sn a dream by night; and God said. Ask what shall give thee.' solomon was a young king. probably one of the youngest in history.
 He went up to Gibeon to seek Gods guidance. God answered him in a dream, as he spoke to others in the Bible. But God speaks to us as well as to kings and in our waking hours. He asks what he shall do for us. He wants to give us the best things. What we ask of life, we gen. erally get. Some, like Midas, ask for gold and find too much of it a bad thing. Some. like Byron, ask for pleasure and find it does not satisfy. Others ask for happiness. But a beau tiful charGcter is the only thing worth while. The supreme thing is to choose right. A place in Christss love and service is the most import ant. There two kinds of Christians drifting and indifferent ones, and those who take duty for their pole l star and live a life of service.

daughters.
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me. so without saying
anything to them about it, | made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee l used. didn't answer her
question just then, for heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast told her that the
coffee she liked so we'll at breakfast
was pure Postum. and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.
Il have been brought up from a
nervous. wretched invalid, to a fine
condition Of physical health by leav-
ing off coffee and using Postum.
Il am doing all l can to help the
world from coffee slavery to Postum
