 The bankers of London. The Econ omist continues, should take the lead in pressing the introduction of the new system of coinage. Nor is it only their passive approval that is need ed, it points out; they should organ ize a conference in London to be fol- lowed by deputation to the Chancel- Tor of the Exchequer to urge upon him definite proposals for immediate action. Such action should be taken without delay, it is further pointed out since it is especially important that, before the conclusion of the sittings of the War Council of the Empire, an agreement should be reached for introducing the metric system throughout the British Empire.
 The Economist reminds its read CTS that at the Colonial Conference of 1902, presided over by Joseph Cham berlain, a resolution was passed fla voring the adoption of the metric sys- tenn of weights and measures within the British Empire. Acting upon that resolution MT. Chamberlain sent a circular letter to the Governors of all the dominions and colonies and received without exception favorable replies but some of these replies said that the mother country must lead the way.

modern store is judged largely by the merchandise it sells, and a big factor towards making it possible for a well establish the fact that nothing but reliable goods will be sold that both manufacturer and consumer recognize it as the truth. Large manufacturers of dependable and we'll known brands necessarily want selling agent that is known to have the confidence of the public and is large enough to sell sufficient quantity. Taking these con- 6itions into consideration, many of the best manufacturers of home furnish ings have given George E. Nothnagle & Son, one of the oldest and best known stores in New England, the sole local selling agency for their goods. This means that certain lines, the best of their kind, such as Glenwood ranges, Hoosier cabinets, White Mountain re- frigerators, Macey sectional bookcases. Hastings dining tables, the Stickley line of craftsman furniture, Orinoka mills and A. Theodore Abbott's fine drapery fabrics, Cutler, Macey & Do- ten-Dunton office furniture. Milwau- Kee chairs, etc., indefinitely, cannot be bought elsewhere in town. The repu- tation of the Nothnagle store is in- valuable and means as much to you as it does to them.

DECIMAL COIN SYSTEM ASKED
 FOR ENGLAND

Once more the advocates of deci- nal coinage for England have enter ed the lists to combat the arguments of their opponents in the let-well- enough alone camp. The Associated Chambers of Commerce of that coun- try have decided to introduce, if they are permitted to do so, bill in the House of Commons for the imme- diate establishment of a decimal sys- tenn of English money. Those ad- vocating the change to decimal coin age look upon it as a first step in the direction of the adoption by Great Britain of the metric system, for all weights and measures-a fact that will probably render all the more bitter the opposition from the cohorts of conservatism.
 In connection with this renewed agitation The Economist of London, in recent issue, has an interesting article setting forth some of the argu- ments in favor of decimal coinage. It says:
 The reasons for pressing the estab- lishment of decimal coinage are two- fold-f1rst, that decimal coinage in itself would be 8 convenience in bank ing and account-keeping generally and, secondly, that without decimal coinage 1t is impossible to introduce the metric system. For a long time past there has been almost universal agreement that the introduction of the metric system would immensely facilitate the expansion of British trade in foreign countries. There are difficulties in the way, especially in connection with the engineering trade because so many well-known stand ards have been built up upon the inch instead of upon the millimeter. But there is growing evidence that the engineers themselves see their way to overcoming gradually these difficulties. At any rate, it is significant that elec- trical engineering is almost entirely based upon a system of metric stand ards. It may be assumed, therefore, that the surviving opposition to the metric system would disappear if the crucial difficulty of the coinage could be surmounted. That difficulty, in one word, is that it is impossible to work to the metric system, which is es- sentially decimal, with a non-decimal system of coinage.
 Tn illustration of this view The Economist quotes these words from a letter written hy member of a, large firm of electrical engineers:
 One has seen it suggested that a change in the weights and measures might be made without changing the coinage; but I should like to point out that I have tried to do this in our own works and have found it quite imprac- tica hle. one can weigh in po11Yds and decimals of a pound, but it is useless when one has to reckon the price in shillings, which are divided into twelve parts. The fact is, of course, that a duodecimal system would have been

Bridge Guard Attacked.

Clyde Newton, a c. A. c. armed guard on the Berkshire Jpnction railroad bridge near Danbury, was from the bridge . Tuesday with wounds on his back and head. There were evidences of struggle beneath the bridge.
 $4,OOO for Injuries.
 Miss Mary c. Murphy, of Danbury, was awarded $4,0O0 damages by a jury in the superior court Thursday from the Danbury & Bethel Street k. R. Co.,, in compensation for the in- juries she received in a trolley acci- dent on December IA, 1914. The front axle of the car broke and the trolley left the track. Of the sever al passengers who were injured; Miss Murphy was the most severely hurt. In the complaint in the case it. was claimed that Miss Murphy's injuries twere of such a nature that she will be permanently lame. The tendons of her left ankle were ruptured and it was contended that the pla1ntln will continue to limp and suffer other inconvenience as a result of the 1n- juries.
 Counsel for the trolley company, contended that the breaking of the axle was due to a latent defect which could not be disclosed upon exannlna- ton and that consequently the com pany had not been negligent.
 A S2,OOO Request.
 Rebecca J. Curtis, of Norwalk, IS to receive a $2,O00 cash bequest out of the estate left by George E. Weed, according to his will.
 Two Divorces Granted.
 Decrees of divorce in two uncon- tested cases were granted by Judge Reed at Danbury, Friday. Theo- dore Garfield, of Danbury, was grant ed a divorce from Lillian May Can field, of Bethel. The defendant, whose maiden name was Lillian May Gay, and the plaintiff were married on August 23, 1908. Divorce was sought on statutory grounds and in tolerable cruelty. Arthur l.. Taylor, of Bethel, was named as co-respon- dent.
 Jacob Leverich, of Danbury, was granted a divorce from Augusta Roll Leverich on the ground of desertion The couple were married on July 5, 1909, and the wife deserted her hus- band in September, 1910.

infinitely superior to a decimal one, but unfortunately Providence provid- ed us with ten fingers instead of twelve and go we went wrong from the be- ginning. Now we must do the best we can under the circumstances and take our fingers as we find them.
 The path of wisdom, The. Econo- mist continues, is to begin with deci- mai coinage for Great Britain. This reform can be introduced at once, it declares, and the nation can later on adopt gradually metric weights and measures as their convenience be- comes apparent to manufacturers and other business men.
 The writer of the article frowns upon the suggested adoption of the American dollar in England, on which subject he remarks:
 Apart from very important ques- tions of sentiment, the substitution of the dollar for the sovereign would involve confusing change in the practice of international commerce and banking. The English sovereign is unit of value to which the whole world is accustomed. It might al-
 
 our international banking position, and any interference with it is open to grave objections though there is some attraction in a suggestion for unifying our currency with that of Canada and the United States.
 The proposed reforms necessary for putting English coinage on a decimal basis are thus summed up:
 We have already a coin represent ing the tenth part of a sovereign-the f1orin. We have also the farthing representing the 960th part of a. sov- ereign. The main change required is the abolition of the farthing, and the introduction of new coin in it's place representing the thousandth part of a sovereign. By preference this new coin should be called "mil.'' It is worth while in passing to lay stress on this matter of nomenclature. A good many people have suggested that the new coin should be treated as the hundredth part of a fiorin and called cent The main objection to that course is that in the United States and Canada the word "cent' is already ap- piled to coin approximately equal in value to one half penny, and it would lead to very great and entirely un- necessary confusion if we used the same word for coin approximately equal to farthing.
 It may be added that the word "cent," quite apart from American and Canadian use, has already been done to death. In Ceylon the cent means the hundredth part of a rupee, and we have also in France centimes and in Italy centesimi. It would be @ very great convenience to have an en- tirely separate word, and the word "miI'' has the further advantage that it emphasizes at once the relation ship with the sovereign.
 For the moment all that is neces- sary is that this new coin should be issued from the mint and should be made legal tender at the rate of 25 mills for Sd. Simultaneously, bank CTS and the commercial community generally should be authorized to keep accounts in pounds, forins, mils instead of in pounds, shillings, pense It would probably be necessary also to coin a 5-mil and 10-mil piece and to suppress the present three-pen-

it national park last summer the vol

Lassen Peak is in northern Califor-
mia. 1t is one OF, the celebrated peaks
of the Cascade Range, which includes
Mount Baber, Mount Hood, Mount
Shasta, and what was once Mount
Mazama but is now Crater Lake Few
of the ice-plated volcanoes of this
range are extinct in geological sense
of the word; several of them have
areas on their sides where snow melts,
or have hot springs in their neighbor-
hoods; Lassen Peak is the only one
actually active within history.

KENTUCKY TRIP
Interesting Letter From Walter Nc
Lain Kentucky Hospitality
Scenery and Dialect - Live Stock,
Tobacco and Cabbage-FultOn Coun-
ty Still Looks Good.

Crittenden, Kentucky, June, II, IT.
To the Tribune:-
after spending a day and two
nights in Kentucky, l have found that
the Kentuckians hospitality is no
myth. The white people are the most
sociable of any section I have ever
visited and l have been royalty enter
tanned.
The first thing that struck me about
the people was the dialect. In Fulton
county, we would be surprised to hear
some one say: "This heah has suah
been a warm day, would yo' all like
to have a drink" But these verbs are
a common occurrence here, and after
one gets used to these phrases, you do
not notice them.
Today we took long drive into the
central part of the state. Critterden
is about thirty miles south of Crncin-
natl, and beginning our trip here, We
drove about eighty miles south to
Lexington. Here we visited the Tay-
lor stock farm where is keot one Of
the largest and best herds of Hereford
cattle in the country. At this farm
they have six cattle barns, each hous-
ing about so head. We saw some OF
the last year champions Of the Ken
lucky State Fair. They sure were
dandies! From here we went to Lle
Serpell and Sons Duroc hog farm.
They have about 400 head Of hogs,
varying in age from two weeks to five
years. l took a snap shot of last
years Kentucky champion and he sure
is "some hawg."

LOYAL To THE FLAG

There's little spot in Ireland that
Michael Mcnamara had in his
''moind's eye" for long time-thirty
years, in fact All that time Michael
was obeying orders, drilling, cam
paigning, and doing the hundred-and-
one things that fall to the lot of the
American Marine.
Michael finished his time, retiring
with the rank of "Sarjint major, no
less" and went back to that little
spot in County Mayo.
Then came our participation in the
war. Did Michael stay retired? He
did not! He came right back on the
S. S. st. Louis, paying his own fare,
and went directly to the U. S. Marine
Corps Headquarters to volunteer his
services.
Mcnamara could have signed up
with some Irish regiment for, despite
his fifty odd years, he is still "foin
broth av a boy" Instead, he braved
the submarine to fight under the flag
that for thirty years he had called his
own.
Michael has a bit of the stuff of
which loyal Americans and heroes are
made.

"FIGHTING SAMMY

"Fighting Sammy" Hatcher, light
weight champion of the United States
Marines, won his title in one punch,
down in Nicaragua. Now he is busy
urging all eligible young men to rally
round the banner of the soldier
Sailors" and is using his gifts as an
orator to win them over.
Sergeant Hatcher won his title
when the Marines were on an expedi-
tion to the central American republic,
right after a lively affair with revolu-
tionists in which bayonets were used
instead of boxing gloves. 1t took ex-
actly three seconds for Hatcher to con-
vince his adversary that there was
only one Marine lightweight champion.
Since that time no one has disputed
the title.
During recent visit of Jess Will
lard to this city, Hatcher boxed the
champion three rounds; the big fellow,
who is a friend of Katcher's, consent
ing to help along in the campaign for
recruits. In the language of the ring,
Fighting Sammy packs a punch,
both as soldier and recruiter.
