Character Revealed in Face. Z

Every feature of the face indicates
the character Of the individual and
probably the whole character. The
difficulty In making comparisons, the
limited number Of persons interested
In this form Of research, and the lack
Of organization and cooperation has
greatly interfered with the acquisition
Of this important form Of knowledge.
This much Is definitely known-large,
wide n0strils indicate large, strong
lungs and are strong Indication Of
longevity. Conversely narrow, pinched
nostrils indicate weak lungs and
short life. A concave form Of the
bridge Of the nose from root to tip
indicates "lazy lungs" they may be
strong, but they are not vigorously
used. A convex form Of the bridge
Indicates activity of the lungs and
consequently active and aggressive
disposition. /

Test Of Cleanliness.

To many persons there Is an almost
infallible test Of the house that passes
the essential test Of cleanliness, and
that is In the odor Of the house when
first entering 1t from outdoors. The
least suspicion Of sewer or coal gas
IL apparent at once An unwholesome
and unventilated cellar clogs the clear
ness of the atmosphere Of the whole
house. and there Is no doubt about
the fact that kitchen where tmmacu-
late cleanliness Is not the rule sends
forth a rancid, unsavory scent to even
the most spotless Of drawing rooms.

New ship signal. for u.. In Fog.

Most ship collisions In fog are due
to the difficulty in detecting the exact
direction that the whistle and bell
signals come from. A veteran sea cap
tain has devised q new method to
overcome this.
He uses four signal horns Of differ
ent tones, two sirens, steam whistle
and steam gong, all operated BY foot
levers. Each Of these corresponds to
one Of the cardinal points Of the COM
pass, and Is sounded in a fog only
when the ship II headed in that direc-
ton.

sections of the town we face another crowded condition which should be re- lieyed. All buildings are crowded. Has keii building is beyond extension as there is no extra land there. Preston City is overcrowded considerably KimbaIl is in the same condition. Palmer is filled In Saptennber we must temporarily meet these conditions somehow. But, temper ariIy met, these conditions cannot con tinue. Every parent wants his child to have the best he can in the way of edu- cation. No teacher can possibly care for, and teach to the best advantage, such large groups as are in these schools at present. It is impossible. Justice can not be done to the child, the homes or the teachers. In my judgment, one way ont of these conditions seems to present itself as the most feasible and economi- cal; I would suggest for your considera- -tion and that of your townspeople the
 adyisability of erecting three-room
 building, similar to the one at PoQuetan-
 ,Iclr somewhere in the vicinity of Preston
 City and conveying the children of Has
 keu. Palmer and the upper grades of
 Kimball there. These. added to the Pres
 ton City children, would thereby unite
 in one school.
 would be the most. But considering the
 outlay on the other buildings if enlarge
 ment is attempted. it seems to me would
 be less. and more in the line of economy. While economy is our watchword, why not build for the future and thus econom- ically secure for the town the best as we look ahead.
 This problem of school room accom-
 modations is our serious one and the
 one which should interest all and as a l department and town hope we may con
 sider these problems together, and to gether solve 1t for the betterment of oul children and municipality, in the mos economical and advantageous manner. l Supervisor Hussey makes four recon mendations in his report:
 { I. That more adequate housing b' considered for the growing school popula tion. 2 That. If possible, a school nurs' be employed in conjunction with othel towns. B.. That free Text Books be ad opted for the town. f. That necessar!
 school supplies be furnished free.

ORDERS TO LOOK AFTER
 AUTOS CLEARING HEADLIGHTS

Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the state police has notihed the motor vehicle department that 1.149 arrests made by the state police during the past four months, SAT, or about 56 1-2 per cent, were for violations of the motor vehicle laws; 59 were arrested because of attractions of the headlight law.
 Following a consultation. with Com missioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stocckel. a general order was sent out by Superintendent Hurley to each state police station in the state ,instructing the commanding officer to put patrols on the roads from 6.Sos to Ii p. ta- with special orders to give full attention to headlights
 It is shown by records of the depart ment that several of the motor vehicle accidents reported during the summer months were due to improper head lights. In many cases, the glare from illegal lenses blinded the operators of automobiles that were wrecked and in others, the operator sof car was con fused by the fact that an approaching car was equipped with but one head light that was in operation. This prac- tice is unusually dangerous at this time of the year when driving at night ts made more difficult by fogs
 The motor vehicle department has di. rected the attention of state policemen to the section of the general motor ve- hicle law wtjch prohibits the use of a | spotlight when an approaching motor vehicle is in sight, except when project ing it's rays directly on the ground at a distance of not more than sixty feet II front of the vehicle using the spotligh and to the right of the axis or center O such motor vehicle.

PRESTON NEEDS CHANGES
 IN SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS

In his annual report on the schools of Preston, s. Hussey Reed, supervisor, stresses the crowded conditions of the school buildings and the need of making changes to care for the pupils better.
 His report says in part.
 One of the serious problems confront ing this department and the towns is the matter of class room accommodations for the increasing school population. This year every building has been crowded; some much overcrowded It has been a problem to find seating room for those entitled to such and with the opening of schools in September the mat ter of further congestion seems to con- front us. Just what is the wisest course to pursue seems a problem.
 l Some of the buildings are entirely in- adequate as to accommodations and equipment. It would seem the height of folly to spend money in making ad- ditions to these already old buildings The ehilds welfare must come first an6 also the part of the taxpayers is to bt considered. If we add to these olC structures, we shall still have an old. in adequate building. This seems poo
 economical yet we must look into the flu
 ture in spending our money.
 After very careful consideration woul, Il make the following recommendation: T That the Crary School be discontinue,
 and the children conveyed to Poquetanuc : where we now have a modern buildin , with one unused room. That the 7th an } 9th grades at the Fort Hill School b :. also transported to Poquetanuck, thu
 relieving the congestion at Brewster
 Neck.
 With such an arrangement, the thre rooms at Poquetanuck would be utilized z With the school regarded to includ !, grades one and two in one room, threi l four and five in the second, and si, 9 seven and eight in the third. this sectio n of the town would be cared for withoy : an outlay of money to enlarge the built ,, ings in the Crary and Brewster's Nee y sections. This, it seems to me, woul | be the most advantageous and economics 5 solutions of the matter. both education e ally and financially.
