SIMMONS BATTERY co.
 OBSERVES BIRTHDAY.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Simmons Storage Battery com pany, whose battery service station at 167 Arch street is being operated with such marked success. The sta- ton was formerly known as the Will lard Battery station. It was taken over a year ago by Albert J. Simmons, who developed the business originally as manager of the Willard branch.
 Mir. Simmons is giving metropoli- tan service. His place is equipped with the most modern machinery and he has expert battery men to aid him in making the work efficient.
 The station represents the popular Willard storage battery which is used on S2 per cent. of all cars and trucks, 150 manufacturers having adopted it as their standard equipment. The threaded rubber insulation making "re-insulation" unnecessary is a Will lard feature and it insures longer life and the most regular efficiency in the battery.
 The management of the station is progressive and thoroughly up to the minute and its success is largely at tributed to it's aggressive policy and the excellence of the service given.

Members and invited guests of the New Britain Musical club were treat 1 ed to a recital by a real artist last | night when Carmine Fabrizio ap- f peared at the Grammar school hall | in a violin program. Mir. Fabrizio i is a viollnist of the old school who believes that the tone comes first, and
 uses very little of the objectionable | vibrato. Interest in his recital was | enhanced by the fact that he is the possessor of a genuine Gaglianni vio- lin. Alfred Devoto proved an able and sympathetic accompanist.
 Mir. Fabrizio is recognized as a vio- linist of exceptional gifts and an ar tist of rare charm and ability. He played with sincerity, exhibiting a richness of tone and brilliancy of in depreciation. The grandeur of the Bach-Handel numbers were very we'll brought out by the player and the Poem, by Chaussen, was one of his hest selections. MT. Fabrizio accom- plished rare feats of technical diff

 ming exceptional use of the me-
 ranics of the violin with poetic in-
 rpretation. After this number the
 5loist responded to an encore. play Ing the Berceuse by Fouret. For his final number he chose Caprice vien- nois, by Kreisler. The Scherzo valse by Chabrier-Loeffler was also un, usually charming. Other numbers were: Sonata In D Major ......... Handel

HAVE THEIR TIME TO FALL

One Of the most beautifur processes
in nature is the fall Of the leaf. This
Is not, as Is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement wealth

authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared In the
spring preparations were being made
for its fall. Across the base Of the
stalk there grew inward a partition
OF special cells. known To bontanists
as the layer Of separation" Az the
season advances these cells become

SNAKES ONCE WERE LIZARDS
Like Everything Else In the World
They Have Undergone Form
IT Evolution.

Evolutionists-and that word in
ciudes almost all modern scientists
declare the snake, as we know ii today,
Is merely the offspring Of the lizard.
The family Is traced back hundreds Of
thousands of years to a time when one
of the semi-sea. monsters crawled out
on the land and elected to stay there.
Among the species was one with very
short legs. As he numbered along over
the ground he discovered that by fat
tening bis belly to the ground and
working his ribs that the leverage thus
gained helped him along faster.
He came to depend more and more
upon this method Of movement and
nature took its usual course In elm
mating organs or limbs not In use.
The low lizard lost its legs and be-
came q crawler. As the centuries
passed natural selection left these with
long bodies, as they could move faster
than the ones with the short bodies,
and therefore the breeding soon be-
came q matter OF length until the
snake as we know IL today resulted
Another species remained In the wa

STAMP GUM FROM POTATOES
That Vegetable the Foundation Of
Sticky Substance That 10 Used
on Postage Stamps.

Every time person Hicks q United
States postage stamp he gets a taste
Of q sweet potato. The gum on the
stamps comes from that vegetable. All
OF the gum used on the stamps Is
mixed at the bureau Of engraving and
printing. where the stamps are made.
It Is spread on the sheets after the
stamps have been printed.
In liquid form. the gum Is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where II is made. These pipes lead
to a series of machines consisting Of
rollers between which the sheets
stamps are fed one at a time. A fine
spray Of the liquid falls upon the roll
ers. The sheet with its wet coating
Of sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into a long horizontal fiue
filed with hot air. When IL comes
out at the other end of the flue the
gum is dry.
There are two kinds of postage
mucilage. If one could see the pack
ages of stamps as they come to the
postoffice ready to be sold, one would
find them labeled, according to season,
sumner gum" or winter gum" The
former Is much the harder of the two,
and was devised TO keep the stamps
from getting sticky In warm, moist
weather.

CROW MADE SHIP ITS HOME
Treated Kindly by Sailors, Bird De-
eIined to Leave Vessel When
lt Reached Port

Many years ago, as the whaling
ship Diana was returning from voy-
age In the Arctic ocean, her captain
and crew were surprised one day to
see q crow, in a state Of great exhaus-
ton, fiutter into the rigging The
nearest land was more than 200 miles
away, so such a visitor was quite un-
expected.
With great care and gentleness the
bird was caught, and after receiving
as much attention as any storm-tossed
traveller would require. Il was offered
tts liberty again But. though thor
oughly restored to health and yigor, IL
refused to leave the ship. With loud
caws Of contentment II would hop
about the deck as though that were
Its real home. and when darkness set
tied down upon the ocean, IL retired
into the rigging, there to roost as CON-
fortably as any of Its stay-at-home
relations among their leafy elms.
When the Shetland islands were
reached, the captain Of the Diana sent
his feathered passenger on shore. nat
urally thinking that this would be In
accordance with its wishes: but the
next day, when the ship was 40 miles
farther on the route to Hull, and was
quite out of sight, the sailors saw a
dark speck In the sky which grew and
grew, till, to their establishment and
delight, the passenger they had left
behind fiuttered joyOusly on board,
cawing its satisfaction at reaching
home once more, if not reproving them
for giving it the slip.
