U-BOAT HAS A NEW
NET CUTTING DEVICE

Boston, Dec. A German submar-
Inc, with a new net cutting device,
is reported by Capt. William Yetman
Of the British schooner Hilda R.,
which was sunk 60 miles west Of
Gibraltar on Nov. 5. The captain has
just arrived in Boston.
The net-cutting apparatus stretches
from stem to stern, the captain said,
and seemed able to pierce the
meshes of any net. Describing the
SINKING he said:
The attack was sudden. I i'm
mediately ordered the boats to be
lowered. The shots came so fast
that the crew in their excitement
Jumped before the boats struck the
water, and as they did the small boat
turned over and all hands were
thrown into the sea. The only per-
son left on the ship besides myself
was the cabin boy. All Of the crew
were lost.
"I hailed the submarine commander
and asked him II he were going to
shoot us or permit US to drown. In
English he responded that he would
send for US and he did.
while we sat in the passageway
every man Of the submarines crew
that passed us was a Turk. They lost
no chance to insult US"

new APPEAL FOR
MAGAZINES FOR
BOYS AT FRONT

Hartford, Dec. Am appeal for
magazines and other reading matter
came to this country by cable last
week from the American soldiers
lighting in France. There are many
thousands oil Americans lover there"
and 1t will take many thousands OF
magazines to keep them supplied with
he kind of reading they were accus-
toned to at home, 40 many in fact
that isolated gifts of magazines will
not go around. The Federal govern
meme provided a way of getting plenty
of magazines to the soldiers when 1t
passed the law allowing them to be
mailed for one cent apiece, but for
some reason or other the American
public has not yet taken full advan-
age of the plan.
The Connecticut State Council of
Defense has issued a bulletin urging
The people Of this state to do all in
their power to meet this need of the
soldiers promptly. Every one who has
a magazine that he has finished read
ing Is asked to put one cent stamp
, on it take it to the nearest post office
Ind let Uncle Sam send it to the
trenches. If the magazine is not
! quite finished. send it anyway; some
soldier will finish it and he will get
more pleasure out of it than the
sender could. To prod along these
| people whose intentions are good, but
who lack the ability to put their i'm
pulses into quick execution, it is pro-
posed by the State Council that Boy
/ Scouts and other war workers collect
magazines and stamps from their
: friends and see that the periodicals
reach the nearest post office stamped
and ready for shipment.
| Care should be taken to follow the
instructions as to mailing, which are
printed in small type on the covers
Of nearly all the best known period
! icals. The magazines cannot be adj
dressed to individual soldiers If the
special low postal rate is to be taken
advantage Of. Simply put one cent
stamp on the face Of the magazine
over the mailing Instructions. No
wrapping is needed. Old magazines
published before the law was passed
and therefore not bearing the printed
instructions cannot be sent in this
way.

The aircraft are not allowed to
make long glides or quick rises ex-
cept near their landing places so as
not to confuse other traffic. Before
an aircraft rises from the ground II
must take note Of the position of al
aircraft aloft and make allowances
for them. A red flag must be dis.
played before an aircraft rises from
the ground as a signal to the all
lanes. The rules advise all aircraft
not to fly above cities or towns except
1t be absolutely necessary.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-12-04
REGULATING AIR TRAFFIC.

We may soon see aerial policemen
regulating the traffic of the air just
as today they stand guard at busy
street crossings. The air lanes in
some parts of Europe are so crowded
with aircraft that definite rules must
be enforced to avoid collisions, says
F. A. Collins, in Boys Life, the Boy
Scouts Magazine. AS our great train
ing aviation fields grow buster in
America, the same regulations will
soon be enforced. The aircraft since
they fly a mile a minute or faster re-
ouired much more room than surface
vehicles.
The air traffic rules followed today
in Europe have been worked out on
scientific lines. If two aircraft meet
each other end on so that there is
danger of a collision, each steers to
the right so that they will pass each
other at a distance Of at least loo
yards If they passed too close to
each other the suction. of the pro-
pellors might prove dangerous. When
one aircraft overtakes another, the
machine in the rear is responsible fol
keeping ofear of the forward craft. II
it turns to the right to pass 1t must
steer course at least 100 yards
away, while If it turns to the left II
must pass at distance OF $50 yards
An aircraft is not permitted to pass
below or above another aircraft I'M
less the vertical distance separating
them is 500 feet. Even when sep
arated by this distance an aircraft is
not allowed to remain persistently
above or below another craft. The
laws are especially strict in forbid
ding any aircraft to turn in across the
bow of another aircraft or foul it in
any way. If one of the aircraft is an
airship or balloon, the clearance OF
100 yards must BE- increased to soc
yards.
An ingenious rule has been laid
down for all aircraft approaching
each other in cross directions. Thu

Search Is in progress, today, for
trace Of Mrs. Elizabeth Fang, of 305
State street, who disappeared from
home early in November and has not
been heard from since. Her mother,
Mrs. M. B. Speer, Of the same ad-
dress, is directing the search, being
heart broken over her daughters alb
sence.
Mrs. Zang's parents cannot account
for her disappearance. Their home
relations were of the most pleasant,

NEW RECORDS FOR
TALKING MACHINES

It is announced that Elena Gerhardt
has been engaged to make records ex-
clusively for Columbia, and the first
contribution of this gifted singer ap-
pearing in the December list, is Schu-
bert's Silent Night, Holy Night" per-
haps the greatest Christmas hymn
ever given to the world. Miss Ger
hardt's rich mezzo soprano is heard
to fullest advantage in this number,
and her rare power of expression
gives to words as well as music a fine
emotional appeal.
Lazaro has sung "vesti La Giubba,' -
from Pagliacci, for Columbia. Here
seems to be the song by which every
great tenor voice is judged, and per-
haps rightly so, for it tests supremacy
the singers art as well as his equip
ment. In this trial the young Italian
acquits himself notably His splendid
voice responds to every demand of
this tragic aria, including the tremen-
dous emotional climax, with a power
and intensity that have rarely been
equalled.
! The great George NJ. Cohan song,
''Over There" is now a Columbia one

ting good one. Introduced in the
record are my Boy" and 1.-THE Spirit

Terpsichore that would be hard to

selections constitute one of the best
dance records that has been made.
! AS a special Christmas offering the
Columbia Double Mixed Quartette
renders HandeTs familiar and beauti-
full while Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks' and Redner's almost equally
well-known "Oh, Little Town of Beth
lehem.'' The voices are excellently
balanced and blended, and the num-
bers are sung with both animation and
reverence. Christmas chimes are
! heard, clear and sweet, in Mendsls-
sohn's "Hark! The Herald Angels

old hymn, "Oh, Come. All Ye Faith
