 INSTITUTE TO BE AT HARTFORD

Hartford, May 15-Notices have been sent out by the State Tuberculo- sis Commission of a three days in sutute for New England tuberculosis workers to devise methods for discov- ering early cases of the disease. It will be held at Simmons College, Boston, May 25-27, and is under the joint auspices of the National Tuberculosis Association and the state tuberculosis organizations of New England, of which the Connec- ticut Tuberculosis Commission is one. The attendance will be limited to thirty persons and it is likely that Connecticut's allotment will be seven.
 Most of the tuberculosis societies or units in the larger cities of the state will probably send one repre- sentative each.
 The institute is expected to prove one of the most progressive efforts to develop plans for discovering incl pient cases ever arranged and the fact that there are some 5000 cases of the disease in the state, or about 2 ,OO0 in each of the three leading cities, has led to intensive activity on the part of the State Commission and it's agents in the cities and towns to locate them before they have pro- greSsed far.

TO MAIL FIRST
 CLASS MATTER WITHOUT STAMPS

First class mail matter may here after be mailed without the use of postage stamps, according to instruc- tions received yesterday afternoon at the local post office, from the Post master General at Washington, D. c. Assistant Postmaster Henry B. Bab- cock notified a number of the large users of the mails in this city, as the new ruling will decrease to a large measure the work of many of the postal clerks.
 The ruling is especially intended for the benefit of large concerns, carrying on a heavy correspondence. In order to take advantage of the non-stamp rule it is necessary to make application to the post office de- partment. Permits will then be is sued and envelopes and other con- tainers will bear a printed notice of the amount paid on the upper right hand corner. The new rule will also apply to identical packages of parcel post matter, when mailed in lots of 25O or more, and to 300 or more identical pieces of second and third class mail. Printed permits are already being used by many compan- ies on envelopes and wrappers con- taining printed matter. They re- quire no cancellation

DEWEY'S HOUSE IN WASHINGTON
 MADE INTO STORE.

Washington, May 15-Admiral Dewey's former home, gift of the American people for his victory at Manila Bay, is being remodel1ed into a store, having given way, as have a number of other historical residences, to the spreading commercial section of the city. The Dewey house, at 1747 Rhode Island avenue, just off Connecticut avenue, was disposed of some years before Admiral Dewey's death.
 Tho cdty's commercial expansion is gradually moving northw estward along Connecticut avenue and has passed beyond the British Embassy which now finds itself amidst a group of fashionable shops The his toric old Corcoran mansion and the wisteria-c1ad John Slidell house, with their old-fashioned gardens and high brick garden wall, facing Lafayette Park opposite the White House at the beginpning of Connecticut avenue, soon will be razed for a modern building for the Chamber of Com rnerce of the United States of Amer ica.
 Among the historical mansions holding out against the march of commercial expansion are the famous Octagon House, residence of Colonel Taylor which was occupied year by President Madison after the White House was fired by the British in 1214

KENTUCKY WOMEN TO CAST VOTES
 FOR PRESIDENT

Frankfort, Ky, May 15.---Women of Kentucky have been assured of the right to vote for presidential electors in the coming presidential election, independent of the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment of the requisite number of states.
 This opinion was given George G. Speer, state banking commissioner, by Attorney General Charles I. Daw- son, who holds that an act of the Kentucky legislature passed this year to provide for woman suffrage in presidential elections, is valid and that under it's provisions women may participate in the presidential elec- ton.
 The attorney general said he could find nothing in the bill which would conflict with the constitution of the state of Kentucky or of the United States.

LIMESTONE GRINDING
TO BE DEMONSTRATED
FARMERS WEEK

Most soils in regions having suf-
ficient rainfall for crop seduction are
lacking in lime. This is due to the
fact that lime washes out Of soils,
Missouri is no exception to this gen.
eral rule and over two-thirds of the
Missouri soils that have been sampled
and tested are found to be sour. The
only practical method of CORRECTLY
sour soils is by the use of lime in s. AZ
form. This requires heavy aptg.,cSe
tions varying from one to five or six
tons per acre. The amount needed
on each soil can he determined by
tests in use at the experiment sta
tions, a service which is free of charge.
Before sending in a sample for test,
however, directions for sampling
should be secured from your expert
ment station.
There is as present large and in
creasing interest in the use of lime,
which for Missouri is used in the form
of ground limestone. 1t is very
heavy material to haul, however, and
many farms having limestone lodges
can best betreated by grinding this
stone right on the farm. In view Of
the interest in this subject it has been
arranged to grind limestone as a
demonstration on Tuesday of Farm
ers' Week, at the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, January
/ 1928. One of the standard lime
stone grinding machines will be in use
and limestone spreaders will be ex-
hibited.
