MUCH ILLITERACY
Disgrace to the Country, General Pcrshlng Tells Army Officers Speaking of Young Men.

Sea Girt, N. J., June 17.-Gen. Per shing told National Guard officers and men at Camp Edwards today that the :lliteracy of the young manhood of the country was a disgrace and he hoped the nation would never again have to pass through an experience with untrained minds and bodies as 1t did in the last war.
 The problem of dealing with such men, he said, had been a great bur den to officers, and all means should be taken to repair these defects in peace times as a matter of national preparedness.
 He recommended annual physical surveys of the country's youth and praised the new plan of reorganiza- ton of the army and National Guard as tho best expression of military pol icy which the country has ever had. He declared that the civilian summer traininrg camps for officers were the best substitutes for universal military training.

Danbury and Bethel Concern Feels Re ductions by Utilities Commission Are Unreasonable.

Bridgeport, June 17.-An appeal from the ruling of the public utilities com mission by which their gas rate charge is reduced from S2 per one thousand cubic feet to $1.6O per thousand and their service charge from 90 cents to 30 cents, was today filed in the superior court here by the Danbury and Bethel Gas and Electric Light Co.

perate and much sought fer gunman,
in the photoplay entitled "The Toll
Gate affords William S. Hart, idol
of the nations "kiddies" and grown
ups as well, the opportunity to exhib-
it the best in him. With such an eX-
cellent vehicle, the famous star is able
to give a vivid and powerful protrayal
of the Western bad man.
As a drawing card Hart has no peer

The action of the film is maintain
ed to the finish. The daring escape
from a fast moving tran, while
bound hand and foot, the burning Of
two saloons, a fierce battle between
a sheriff's posse and band Of Mex
lean and many other scenes are SUI

thrill. If you enjoy this type Of pic
