up and favorably voted upon at the last town meeting: Resolved, That the sum of $S,000 be and the same is hereby appropriated for the building, construction and erection of four teen foot steel bridge with concrete roadway, floor and four foot sidewalk with wooden floor, across Hart's pond, near the American Paper Goods com pany factory, in the town of Berlin and for any and all necessary abut- ments, and that the board of select men of the Town of Berlin are here by authorized and empowered to enter into any and all contracts for said work and to spend said sum of $S,000 or so much thereof as may be neces- sary.'
 Commissioner Bennett thou ght that the bridge decided upon was much too narrow, that a steel structure with a wooden floor should be erected and found fault with several other qualif- cations thereby belittling the judg- ment of the selectman.
 Selectman filling will, in the course of a few days confer with his attor- ney and ascertain whether the plans as drawn up by the committee and passed upon cannot be followed out.

 Work begun yesterday on the bridge in East Berlin just south of the depot at the instigation of First selectman w. I. filling has beel completed and the East Berlin side of the bridge is in tip top shape. Owing to the amount of traffic and the heavy loads that passed over the bridge daily new joist and plank had to be used in the repairing.
 The Cromwell side, according to latest reports is still untouched and remains in an unsafe condition. At a conference between the authorities of Berlin and Cromwell Saturday the selectmen of the latter town promised to have the work done as soon as Workmen could be found.
 Two Join Regular Army.
 Adopting the phrase, Don't talk history, make it," two more young men of the town have felt the call to the colors. They are Nick Carson and James George, more commonly known as Jimmie to his friends. The young men are the son and stepson respec- lively of Antonio Carson, employed by the railroad
 Yesterday afternoon they went to Hartford and presented themselves to the regular army recruiting officer stationed at that place. It has not been learned whether they passed the physical examination and were ac- cepted but as both are fine specimens of manhood, it is taken for granted that they will soon appear in uniform.
 Although no statistics are available, it is thought that Berlin has over subscribed its allotment to the regular army. In any case the town should be proud of the showing made by the boys who have gone into some branch of the service.

MRS. BECkLEY DEAD;
 SICK NINE WEEKS
Wife Of Third SeleCtman Passes Away Early This Morning
LONG RESIDENT OF TOWN
Husband, Knowing Nothing of Wife's Death, Lies Ill in Stamford Hospital Son ill Youngstown, Ohio, to Re- turn Tomorrow.

After an illness of nine weeks, Mrs. Norman Beckley, wife of Third Se- seetman Beckley of Beckley Quarter, passed away at her home at 1:15 this morning. Her death was due to leak age of the heart produced by pro- tracted case of rheumatism, which eventually brought on a cardiac com plication. Up to the time ot her death she was apparently getting along nicely and hopes for her con- plete recovery were held out by the attending physicians and friends.
 Mrs Beckley was 52 years of age and had lived the most of her life in the town of Beckley, although born in West Cromwell About 30 years ago she was married to MT. Beckley, a member of an old family and after her marriage moved to the home town of her husband where she was imme- diately recognized as a person of un- usual charm and personality and made many friends who will be grieved to learn of her death TWO children blessed the happy union, a boy and a girl. The boy, Louis, aged 23, graduated from Colgate UnlVer- sity this spring and the girl Dorls, aged IS is a senior in the High school.
 About two months ago Mrs Beck 1ep was suddenly stricken Ill ana Df Hodgson was called in to attend the ease He diagnosed it as rheumatism. The ailment, instead of getting better suddenly took turn for the worse and centered around her heart.
 MT. Beckley has not been informed of the death of his wife. He is and has been for the past nine weeks in a hospital in Stamford where he is being treated for a case of nervous attack and fearing that a disclosure of the sad news might bring on a relapse or sudden death, relatives of the family are reticent in giving him any infor- nation until he has completely re- covered and able to withstand the shock.
 Owing to the fact that Louis, the . con. is not at home no funeral ar engagements have been made A tele- cram was sent to him this morning at o'clock and in all probability he will arrive here tomorrow noon. He ,s employed in Youngstown, Ohio, as a chemist.

The principal advantage to be
gained by the government taking
over the railroads will be the
elimination of waste in hauling.
Under the new order all freight
shipments will be sent by the
most direct route without any re-
gard to the number of different
railroads it passes over. Under
the old plan the line originating
a shipment hauled it all over their
system to get it as near it's final
destination as possible, and then
the next road did the same thing
and in time, if the shipment was
not worn out in the handling, it
eventually reached it's destina-
tion. The freight charges would
be no greater than if it went by
the shortest feasible routes, but
the charges were divided on the
pro rata mileage basis.
The government could make
another radical and beneficial
change that would expedite the
moving of freight if they would
wipe out the Jim Hill tonnage
theory. Instead of loading an
engine with all the tonnage it is
possible to drag, a reasonable
load would make it possible to
get over the road in good time,
with less wear and tear to the
equipment.

UnivcrSaliSt Church Notes.


Interest in the series Of sermons on
JTniversalism is increasing every day.
Last Sunday a good-sized congrega-
ton heard the sermon on "The Rea-
soma bleness Of the Universalist Idea
of Jesus" Mr.. Niles told of the old
religious idea of Christ which consists
in worshipping and adoring Him.
Jesus was considered as sort of life
boat by means of which people could
escape from this supposed wreck of a
world. Because of this view of the
Christ, Christianity has been consid-
cred as something to die by rather
than something to live by. 1t has
concentrated the attention and energy
of Christendom on Christ's supposed
mysterious nature rather than on His
helpful and wonderful life and mes
sage and spirit; it has made Chris
tianity consist in adoring Christ rather
than in the far more important fol-
lowing Him, believing in His teachings
result of this after nearly 1000 years,
we find ourselves in a world war.
People are saying, christianity has
failed" 1t has not failed, it has not
been tried. Jesus to the Universa1ist
is the noblest and best man the world
has ever seen. In Him that spark of
divinity which God breathes into
every human being reached it's highest
development. He has shown US what
we may do and become. He has
pointed out to the world the only true
way to live. When men catch vision
of the real Christ and follow Him.
their hearts open and the great cur
rents of benevolence, philanthropy
and moral reform, flow throughout

Of manure is a Herculean task-a
latter day Augean stable job-for it
means the handling of literally mil
lions of tons of dung and litter. 1t
means the construction of concrete
manure pits. of paved feeding pens or
sheds, and greatly increased care in
the conservation and use of bedding
materials. 1t means q lot of work,
but it is work that can be done at odd
hours and moments, and work that
will pay tremendous dividends, not
only as a war measure, but conceiv-
ably for all time, for if we once get
the habit of making full use of our
aVaila bic manure supply we are not
likely to lapse into the old, wasteful
ways again.

worlds Champion MASTERS.

This great war has brought home
to us Americans, as it has never been
emphasized before, the fact that we
are the worlds champion MASTERS
Without making any comparisons and
subject to correction if it can be
shown that the facts are. otherwise, /
dare aver that our billion dollar
manure waste is the worlds greatest
single economic leak-the prize waste
Of the champion wastrels. With COM
3fercial fertilizers scarce, and some of
them almost unobtainable, it would
seem we'll worth our while, in this
juncture, even without any reference
to war conditions, to do everything
within our power to stem this tide of
loss, especially in consideration of the
fact that stable manure is the best
form of fertilizer known. And when
we consider further the possible effect
of a billion dollars worth of manure
upon world production at this time
when the solemn duty of saving the
world from famine devolves directly
upon us-welI, the vital need for
manure pits and feeding lots in this
broad land of ours becomes pretty
clearly apparent"
