Robert Fatheree, I find, is known
round about town for two things
one is that he carries large electri-
cal supplies, the other, he's some fish
erman. Just a few years ago he was
fishing with a fish pole in his hand
and a bag full of fish which he had
caught. He was pot satisfied with
what he had, and was looking for
more when an excited man with a
large tin badge on which was inscrib-
ed the one word sheriff" came rush
ing up to him and demanded.
Haven't you seen the signs which
just put up on the tree around here"
ooh yes, l saw them," answered
Bob, They said: "No fishing, but

DRINKWATFR'S LINCOLN
 AT PARK STREET CHURCH

Abraham Lincoln was assassinat- ed fifty-five years ago next Thurs day Commemorating the completion people of Bridgeport an opportunity to trace it's national significance through acquaintance with John Drinkwater's great play Abraham Lincoln" this play will be given at Park Street Congregational church Sunday evening in descriptive lecture and pictures.
 Henry R. Roses remarkable series of pictures showing the play just as it is being staged in New York will be used on this occasion. Together of the more important parts of the play will be given by Dr. Gerald H. Beard. Montrose Moses says: 'Abra- ham Lincoln is a great play because it gives Lincoln in all his moral breadth and all his meaning for the future. Frank McGlynn as Lincoln shows the depth of his spiritual un- derstanding, the quiet beauty of his awkward hesitancy, the positive firm ness of his speech when he forges ahead. his spiritual loneliness, an6 the agony of his deeper moods and their expression The service be- gins aI naIr-past seven

ping in the proper places or to make a direct attack on the fire as for ex- ample by drilling holes for injecting water to the seat of the fire.
 It is also the custom in some min ing localities to drill a hole from the surface into mine to carry pipe lines or cables Oftentirnes these drill holes do not go to the right places, and it is with considerable difficulty and expense that tunnels are driven to meet the drill hole. With the aid of the geophone, the drills can be guided better, especially since drilling can be detected for nearly a mile.
 Very satisfactory results have been obtained in attempts made to locate leaks in water mains. The water cir culating in the ordinary city main can be heard with the geophones when they are placed on the surface, to twelve feet above the pipe. In the business district of Pittsburgh, one leak was located within few min utes, although the water department had been trying to find it for two weeks.

CEOPHONEH HAS
 IMPORTANT USES

Washington, D. C., April 10.-After a series of important tests with the geophone, a listening device invented during the war by the French, to de- tect and locate enemy underground operations, the Bureau of Mines, De- partment of the Interior, announces that this delicate instrument may be put to a number of remarkable uses in mining and other industries
 The most extraordinary result of these tests is that the Bureau of Mines have been able, not only to hear and locate sounds through the earth, but have actually understood talking through fifty feet of solid coal and have detected the human voice fully 150 feet away What this may mean in the near future can only be conJectured. An engineer of the bu- reau was able through 300 feet of coal to distinguish nine out of ten different coal mining tools that were used at different times, so character 1stic are the sounds. In one mine where experiments were being made at the face of tunnel the mine foreman who was listening heard workmen in another tunnel preparing to blast and ordered the engineers to retire until the blast was fired. The sounds were so clear he did not real ize that the tunnel headings were over 300 feet apart.
 The greatest value of the geophone in mining, So far as known, will be in connection with rescue work in the mines. Quite frequently miners are entombed in coal mines following ex- pIosions, and these men may be To- cated quickly and accurately through the geophone. In metal mines also where men may be imprisoned be- hind. falls or be barricaded in some part of the mine to which they have retreated in order to protect them selves from the fumes of a fire these too may be rescued through prompt location.
 When the bureau first began it's ex- periments with the geophone, it was questionable whether the geophone could hear sounds far enough away to make it practicable. The experi- ments show that sounds can be de- tected through the earth a distance of l, 1,500 feet in a mined-out area, in a coal mine, through solid coal, 2,OOo feet, and through solid rock about half a mile.
 The geophone is also of great practical value in metal mines where two tunnels have to be~connected. At tlmeS Tn spite of as correct surveying as is possible the two tunnel headings fail to come together. Just recently Bureau of Mines engineers were in a mine where the two ends of the tun- nel failed to meet, and the geophones locating the error, showed the miners the right direction.
 Observations with the geophone have also been made at mines which were on fire, where it was found that the fire made noise enough to be heard some distance, either because of it's drawing air or the breaking off of bits of coal and slate. The geo. phones by thus locating the fire gives information which may enable the mine management to erect fire stop

MARRIAGE DAY"
 SOON IN TURKEY

Constantinople, April 10-The Sul- tan, Mohammad VI, has issued an imperial decree proclaiming May 1 as marriage day. throughout Turkey in an effort to promote wedding and to arrest the decline in the birthrate. This action was taken on the request of Hazim Bey, Minister of Interior, who aecribes the decreased number of births in Turkey to the frivolity of young women.
 In the Sultan's decree, all engaged persons who have been unable tG marry earlier are urged to do so or May 1. As an inducement, no charges are to be made for marriages performed on that day, guests at weddings are to make no gifts, the first children of those who wed on May 1 are to receive the names of , the children of the Sultan and to re- ceive the gift of bracelet from the governor of the province in which the child is born.
 1 The Sultan's son is named d'Ertogh- roul and his daughters are Roukie 1 and d'UIvie
 The edict is especially directed to the province of Broussa, in Anatolio which attracted much unfaVorable comment in the Mohammedan press because of it's greatly reduced birth i rate and the tendency of it's popula- i ton to violate the Moslem prohibition
 of the use of intoxicating beverages ] Government officials allege that peo- i pie of Anatolian villages, men and
 women alike, indulge what they cal
 burning nights of music and feast
 ing.
 i Indulgence in modern dancing has aroused the protest of a member ot the Chamber of Deputies from
 Anatolia who has introduced a bill
 authorizing officials to prevent womer
 from participating in the antics and capers of the ball room.''

SHOULD SAVE
 WASTE PAPER

In referring to his recent appeal for the conservation of waste, Secretary Of Commerce Alexander today made the following statement, urging the saving of all waste paper:
 Attention has been called quite a number of times lately to the vital shortage in paper and if the general public could realize how a shortage of paper affects its daily life I feel sure that a saving and utilization of all waste paper would be made
 Many of the better grades of waste paper are used as pure substitutes for ground wood pulp and are used in making all kinds of book, bond, ledg- CT and writing papers. If this kind or waste was not used to some ex- tent, there would exist an even great CT shortage of wood pulp from which most of our printing papers and news print paper is made. The waste paper used in the above list consist of old magazines, periodicals, books and all kinds of printed matter in gener- al. Every pound of this waste that is saved and mar keted prevents the use of original wood pulp made direct from our trees.
 The largest tonnage of waste pa per is called Common mixed" and consists of any and every sort and scrap of paper, such as newspapers, waste from the offices, stores, public buildings and the homes The chief use of this kind of waste is for paper boxes, roofing and building boards, paper shipping containers (which carry up to one hundred pounds of freight or express) and wrapping paper. More than two million tons of ordinary waste paper are used for boxes and shipping containers alone. The public is so accustomed to having its goods in paper boxes that it would be dumfounded to find their use seFl ously curtailed and this is what will happen if we do not look more toward the utilization of waste. The use of waste papers for this purpose prevents the consumption of over one billion feet of lumber annually and is increasing daily. The utilization of waste must keep pace with this to prevent a direct use of our trees for the wood pulp. At the present time there is very little original wood pulp used for paperboard boxes.
 "In addition to the saving of trees in the making of paperboard, there is another very great saving of lum- Der through the use of paper ship ping cases" which are used instead of wood boxes Reports show that it would require more than half a billion feet of lumber annually to re- place the paper shipping cases, now used by almost every manufacturer in the United States.
 'tFn most towns and cities there are dealers in waste paper and other salvageable material such as rags, rubber, metals, etc, who will pay a | fair price for what otherwise would be thrown away or burned
