PARLETTE GIVES LECTURE.
Author and Humorist Appears on
Community Entertainment Course.

Ralph Parette,~ of Chicago. author,
editor, publisher. and lecturer, appear
ed before a large audience at the
Methodist church Wednesday night in
the fifth number on the community
entertainment course. Mr.. Parlette
gave his lecture. The University Of
Hard Knocks" based on one of his
books by the same name.
Altho somewhat eccentric in his de-
livery and mannersms, Mr.. Parlette
presented the truths Of his lecture
very forcefully. While advancing moth
ing particularly new, his presentation
Of life experiences that come to all was
out of the ordinary. That we learn
from experiences in the great school
Of hard knocks, or at least that we
should learn from those experiences,
was the underlying thought of the sub
ject matter. Illustrating the human
strata by small glass jar containing
rice and walnut meats, the speaker
showed how the rice. or smallest parti-
ces in the jar. altho on top, would
fall to the bottom by shaking. If our
lives are to be kept to the top we must
not allow ourselves to get into ruts,
but must keep pushing forward always
striving to greater things. Otherwise
they will fall to the bottom.
MI Particles lecture contained many
homely truths easy Of comprehension,
with the thought ever present mat no
matter what the endowment, it was
the school of experience that counted
most, and that success in life must be
gained thru the hard knocks.

MUST PROVE AGE
 BEFORE RECRUIT MAY BE ENLISTED

The army recruiting station receiv ed notice this morning telling them not to accept men under the registra- tion age unless they have presented the following: Birth certificate, bap- tismal record, or school certificate, or in case these are not available they must present to the recruiting officer the affidavit of parents or guardians with legal evidence of guardianship. These papers must be sent along with their enlistment papers.
 The reason for this move is given by a statement of the Adjutant Gen eral, he says: '"The large number of applicants from parents and guardians for the discharge of minors under IS years of age, enclosing satisfactory evidence that the soldier is under that age, indicates a necessity of more care on the part of the recruiting officers in order to avoid unnecessary expense 1 to this government and annoyance to troops in the field in the subsequent discharge of such men and to avoid placing blot for life on the recocd
 of a boy whose offepse of misstate-
 ment of his age arises usually from a patriotic desire to serve his coun- try" He then states the rules given in the first paragraph.

LOSS OF POWER
 IS BLAMED ON
 THE POOR COAL

Bridgeport workers who depend on the trolley cars to reach their des- tinations enjoyed an unexpected walk this morning to their places of bus inesS About 6:30 cars on the east side stopped and the efforts of crews were of no avail The power was dead and stayed so for nearly an hour. In the center of the city the stop was not so long, on some lines being not more than 20 minutes.
 At the office of the trolley company 1t was learned that the automatic | Estokers broke down, owing to the fact that some of the poor coal which the company had used last winter during the coal shortage, had been used this morning, and had broken the stokers and put them in such a condition 1t was necessary to call for extra help before the trouble could be ,remedied.
