 The sound of shril1 cheers recalled me to my duties. I turned to my pu pills to find them standing in the aisles waving text books, handker- chiefs pencils in the air, and yelling at the tops of their voices. Some of the girls were crying, frankly, but into every face had come the look of ecstatic happiness reflected in every American heart at that moment
 A few of them looked at me a bit apprehensively, yet deflantly. Disci pIine is one of the things upon which I pride myself, and I knew that the boys and girls were wondering just how I would meet this outturst. With a little pang at my heart that they should have mistaken my first mo- ment of dazed silence I hurried to the front of the room, snatched down one of the flags decorating the room.
 Ready, now, three times three and a tiger!' I called out to them, waving the flag, and the sound crashed to the roof and rolled back again.
 From all parts of the building wo heard other cheering as the news went from classroom to classroom. Then our own school bell began to peal, and moment later Mr Stock bridge himself appeared in the door way of my room.
 ''I waited to ring our bell until I had sent the message all around" he explained hurriedly. Otherwise they might have mistaken it for a fire sig nal Bring your pupils in at once to the assem- bly, hall, and then have them put on their wraps. We're go- ing to parade. Bring every flag you have"

Sin&'tOn Pond

] Miss Josephine Wenz, aged 19, of l g Fairview street was drowned while l skating at the American Paper Goods ! dam last night and Melville Davis l of 33S Main street narrowly escaped drowning when the couple Skated on thin ice. Davis succeeded in getting 1 out of the water and although he made an attempt to rescue Miss Wenz he was unsuccessful and the body of the young woman was dragged from the water hours later with the aid of a boat and powerful searchlights. Medical Examiner R. M. GrisWOld viewed the body and gave permission for it's removal to New Britain. Davis was carried to the home of Charles Gulong where he was given first aid treatment, and was later brought to his home on Main street.
 Although the ice was only frozen in parts a large crowd was skating at the Paper Goods dam during the eve ming While Miss Wenz and Davis were skating over one of the weaker parts of the ice a crash was heard and the two forms disappeared from view The form of the boy was first seen to come to the top and later Miss Wenz head appeared. Davis made a grasp for her arm and she Ciutched
 his, fainting at the same time He tried to draw her toward the solid ice, but as slfe released her grip she again went down and was not seen to appear above the ice until drawn out by a party later. A boat was secured from nearby, and through the use of the boat the boy was taken out and rushed to Gulong's home.
 By the aid of several large search lights directed through the ice, the girls body was seen lying at the bot tom and was dragged out The pull motor of the New Britain police de partment which had been sent for, was pressed into service, but it was too late as Miss Wenz had already sue cumbed Miss Wenz was employed in the repair department Of Landers.

NEW IDEA IN TRANSFORMATION
Trains to Slide on Runners, Separated
From Track Merely by Thin
Film of Water.

Looking toward the transportation
facilities Of the future, an American
electrical eXpcrimenter believes that
the chief means of travel will be trains
without wheels, running on single
tracks, and moving almost without
friction because they will slide on run
ners separated from the track by
thin film Of water. In short, the fact
that one plate Of glass will glide pracz
tiCally without friction over another
II there Is thin layer of water be-
tween them will he applied and work
ed out In running train. The
idea of a train without wheels Is sutii.
ciently surprising. but, according 70
the writer. a FrenChman had invented
such n train just before the Franco
PruSSian war. and the project was not
resumed aftPrward. although later
French inventor made some important
improvements. The advantage over
modern transportation, If such trains
become practicable, Is prophesied as
nolselessness Of operation, equal carry
ing capacity. and about twice as much
speed. The idea looks visionary: but
after all II is not wise to distrust pos.
siblities for that reason.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Keeping at 1t is the only way 70
clear the chicken houses of mites.
Mites are brought by pigeons, by spar
rows, and by the neglect of just lit
tie time and care. They breed by the
million in droppings and neglected lit
ter; they hide In the crevices and
cracks of the house, coming out at
night to sap the strength of the flock
and to drive them out of the hen house.
One cleaning and whitewashing of
the house will not solve the problem
II should be repeated every two weeks
to keep ahead Of the pests. If the
house Is kept cleaned up, If the NOV.
able furniture is taken out aud summed
and washed off with scaldlng suds
every other washday, there will be lit.

kerosene emulsion Is good spray
for poultry buildings. To mike this,
shave one-half pound Of hard soap into
one gallon of soft water and boil the
mixture until the soap Is dissolved.
Then remove 1t to safe distance from

still hot, two gallons Of kerosene. The
result is n thick, creamy emulsion
Dilute this stock mixture with ten

to work it into all cracks, crevices and
