Miss Gallant finishes her course with I0I points to her credit, number which Principal Anson B. Handy states has never before been attained so far as is known. Miss Gallant has not picked easy subjects, but to the contrary, her schedule during four years is marked with some extremely difficult combinations.
 During her first year at the school Miss Gallant gained her points as fol- lows: English (5), commercial arith- roetic (5), science (5), sewing and cooking (Q, gymnasium work th)' m0sic (1a); total of 20 points.

JUDGE NOT IN SYMPATHY WITH
 AUTO LAW

Tn the city court Thursday morning Judge Geissier told Chester Carpenter that he was not in entire sympathy with the automobile law. MT. Car penter comes from Oxford and was arrested for not bringing his car to a full stop before passing a standing trolley car. He said he was not fa- miliar with the law, but admitted that he did not come to dead stop He said that he came along and two cars in front of him were proceeding past the trolley so he followed them.
 Judge Geissler said that the law left him no alternative as the minimum fine is s10. He said that he did not think that the case before him war ranted such fine, and that he was not in sympathy with the law as it left too little discretion to the court in the matter of punishment. There was nothing left to do but impose the minimum fine, which was done.

NAVAL RESERVE RECRUITING
 OFFICER HERE SATURDAY

 The naval reserve officer will be in town in khaki colored car, with the latest type of military wheels, driven by Liberty motor.
 The department is also desirous of enlisting women of clerical experience for "yeomanettes" to fill vacancies ashore, left by men who have been sent to sea.
 We must have men to man our ships, and any man in the draft age who gets an exemption from his local draft board, is eligible to enlist, pro viding he is physically sound.
 Men from ages IS to 35 may enlist, men under lS are not eligible even with their parents consent, men over 35 who are experts in . profession may put in an application for exam ination in Washington at their own expense.
 If men enlist with the recruiting of- ficer, it will save them the expense of going away to enroll. and their enlist ing will not interfere with their busi- ness until they report to New Lon- don, Providence, Newport or Westsr- ly for physical examination. Men enlisting may have their choice of being examined in any of the cities in the second naval district, nearest their home town, where the navy de partment has an examining surgeon.

HIGH TENSION
 SERVICE LINE
Shore Line Electric Railway Company Obtains Rights
 In Putnam.
Plan to Furnish Power For Industries Up and Down Quinebaug
 Valley.

Several weeks ago representatives of the Shore Line Electric Railway Company were in Putnam and obtain ed rights of way over land in the Xiii ingly avenue section of the city Speculation was rife at the time as to just what was in progress, and it was thought by some that an additional trolley line was to be built
 It has now developed that the com pany is planning to run high tension service between Norwich and the Massachusetts state line. with which to furnish electric power to all who may wish it.
 It is felt that the proposed venture will be of immense benefit in furnish ing excellent and dependable power service. The line will cover the entire Quiebaug river valley. along which is dotted many manufacturing towns and villages. Most of the mills run by water power, but there are often seasons of the year when on account of the river being low. there is lack of sufficient water power to turn the wheels
 It is stated that the government fa- vors the enterprise as one that will bring about saving in coal con sumption that is not possible in devel- oping power in many separate plants. All of the mills are more or less en- gagged in manufacturing goods for the government to meet present war needs.
 A survey of the route of the line has already been made, and a major ity of the property owners from whom easements were sought have gladly lent their assistance to the further ance of the proposition by meeting the company half way.

Atlanta. Ga. Dr. F.

The lack of Phosphates is the cause of all anemic conditions and the administration of 5-grain Ar eo-Phosphate tablets will increase the strength and endurance of weak, ner- vous, care worn men and women 300 per cent in two or three weeks time in many instances, and their contln- ued use will build up the whole ner- vous system, and give new life, vim, vigor. and vitality to the whole body

Practice of Denying Custody
of Children to Soldiers
To Be Fought

The American Red Cross has proved
to be the greatest single agent in en-
llvening and maintaining the fine
morale of our fighting forces at the
front, according to Alfred Brown. as
sociate field director for home service
of the Red Cross in the Third Naval
District.
Mr.. Brown, addressing the Rotary
Club at its weekly luncheon at the
Hotel McAlpin yesterday. dwelt par
ticularly on the activities of the home
service section, a department very lit
tie known. he said, but rapidly becom-
ing the biggest branch of the organi-
zation. The comprehensive manner in
which this section is watching over
the homes of our soldiers and sailors,
added Mr.. Brown has instilled re-
markable fighting spirit in our mon.
"There are approximately 10000
families in Manhattan and The Bronx
alone being looked after by the home
service section" Mr.. Brown said. land
the knowledge among our soldiers that
their wives and mothers and sweet
hearts are being cared for has given
them spiritual advantage not pos
sessed by their adversaries"
Mr.. Brown referred to practice
among certain small town magistrates
of denying to men in the service the
custody of their children when. for
any reason, the mother is unable to
care for them
THE Red Cross has objected to this
discrimination against the uniform of
the United States. and we intend to
take this fight to Secretary Daniels"
Mr.. Brown added: "Our men know
that the girl he left behind is under
the tender wing of the great Red
Cross"
