SHIP ALASKA ORE
 BY PARCEL POST
 FROM FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS. April l. - For the first time in the history of the Unit ed States. commercial ore in large quantities was shipped through the parcel post system today when Chas. Johnson and E. J. Ewers consigned half ton of tungsten concentrates to Pennsylvania chemical plant. The rate charged by the Postoffice Department Is 12 cents pound. while that charged by the express companies to Cordova is 50 cents. Every mail leaving Fairbanks for the remainder of thre winter will carry several hundred pounds of tungsten concentrates.
 Under the law .the mail contractors are required to carry l,6OO pounds of mall on each trip, but the amount of mail leaving Fairbanks falls short of this weight. The difference will be made up with tungsten
 The revenue derived from the ship ments will run into several thou sand dollars, sufficient to raise the local postofflce to the second class.

pottery is of course Redwood. For g long time there were no duplicates in this ware. Hampshire pottery, made in Keene, N. H., the Marblehead pot tery, Newcombe and Durant wares are now very well and favorably known, each having some distinctive feature to commend it.
 A demonstration in the different stages of making and finishing pottery followed by the pupils of the Art school pottery class. Models of bowls, jars and vases were in process of mak- ing and the potter's wheel was in use. Bas relief work was being done. also some forms of miniature statUary.
 A visit was made to the kill nto see the pottery fired. It was hard to real ize that the white glazed bowls and vases would come forth from their furnace decked in shades of blue, green, red or brown.
 In the business meeting allusion was made to the desire to in some manner establish a memorial to Miss Kate Morse. whose loss was so keenly felt by the association.

Frank Hale has been secured for the next meeting to talk on jewelry, with an attendant exhibi- ton. MT. Hale is not only well known in Norwich but has a national repu- tation. It is hoped to have an exhibi- tion of MT. Dodge's etc;1ings later in the season, and the subjects of weav- ing, oriental rugs, ceramics, and inte- rior decorations will occupy places in the years work.
 A most interesting and instructive paper on pottery was given by Miss Ada Watrous. The nature of clay was described and the method of casting. The old potters wheel is much the same as the one Tn use now. Clay bodies are divided into earthenware and porcelain. Eartnenware is used for household utensils and porcelain is used for finer purposes.
 The process of firing was described at some length and glazing was touch ed upon. The best known American

U. s. FLAGS TO BE UNIFORM
Sixty-six Different Sizes Now in Use Will be Cut Down.

Manufacturers who want to sell United States flags to the various de- partments of the government will here after have to conform their offerings to the dimensions specified in an ex- ecutiVe order issued by the president several months ago. An investigation disclosed that siXty-six different sizes of flags were being bought by the va rious departments. The secretaries of the government departments are now sending out notices to officials throughout the country advising them of tue new specifications, and warning against further purcha ses of the na- tional emblem that fail to meet the requirements laid down in the presi- dents order.
 All together twelve sizes are speci- fled for the national flag, apart from the colors carried by troops and camp colors. The latter two classes of flags must conform in size to the regula- tions laid down by the army and navy authorities. The order also applies to union jacks. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in an order to col lectors and other officials, advised that all national flags and jacks now on hand or for which contracts have been awarded shall be continued in use un- til unserviceable. but all those manu- factured or purchased for government use after the date of the secretary S order shall conform strictly to the di- mensions and proportions prescribed by the president.

WALKED TO NORWICH FROM NEW LONDON
Old Time Railroad Man Feared Wash-
 outs Along the Line.s

How and when fhe New London Wilhmantic' and Springfield Railroad company first began operations are told in an interesting way by R. B, Wall In the@New London Day:
 In the year 1S47 a charter was granted the New London. Wjllimantic and Springfield company, which name was changed in 1848 to the New Lon don, Willimantic and Palmer railroad The gincorporators, all New London seph Lawrence, Andrew M. Frink, Acors Barns and Andrew c. Lppitt. Capital stock $500,0e0, with privilege to increase it to 1,500, ,000, each share to sell for $1o0. Thomas Williams was the first president and Gen. J. Y. Palm CT its first superintendent. The charter called for tine layout not, to exceed six rods in width and permitted two and three parallel tracks,. In 1852 permis- sion was granted the directors to pur- chase stock in the Amherst and Belch- ertown road not to exceed $100, ,000 Later the New London, Willimantic and Palmer got into financial difficult ties and, permission was given by the legislature in 1856 to sell or lease the road. It then passed into the posses sion of trustees who operated it until 1861, when it was reorganized as the New London Northern railroad. In 1871 it was leased to the Central Yer mont railway for 20 years and in 1891 1t was leased to the same company for 99 years. s
 When the road was completed as far as WillHnant1c thes rolling stock was put into operations and the first train left New London Nov. 15, 1&49. By September, 1850, the road was com pleted to Palmer, Mass.
 Subject to possible errers, the fol- lowing list of the roads 4superiutend- cnts contains the names of those off, cers in order: ]. \. Palmer, A. G. Darrow, N. D Potter, W. R. Storrs, Richard N. Dowd. George W. Bentley, J. T. MoManus, George A. Merrill, George F. Benedict, George w. Bent David Mckenzie. The successors of Mckenzie are so recent as not to be enumerated.
 Darrow, the second superintendent, was q Montville man. and was pro- prietor of an oil mill. He was said to have had no railroad experience before taking his office, but was chosen because of his ability as a business man and his sound judgment. It is told that on one occasion he walked from New London to Norwich, lantern in hand, ahead of slowly moving train. There had been a severe rain storm and he feared washouts along the. line. One conductor named Hunt ley had resigned on that account.
 For many years after the construc- tlon of the road a short train made a round trip daily between New London and Norwich. The first locom otivo that drew it was small affair with a tender attached. The engineer Ken nerson, a feshy man, was said to be as big as his machine. Behind the engine was small car. one-ha1f of which was used for baggage and the other half for smoking. It was known as the Jim Crow car and only half fare was collected. l., the rear was one passenger car
