CONTRACT FOR BIG TUNNEL.
tConIinued from Page }

The original plan was to tunnel around
the site of the dam to send the water
through the tunnel so it would not in
terfere with work on the dam, and this
part of the project is well toward com
pletion. 1t Is p feet in diameter and
about l,600 feet long.
After the contract for this tunnel was
awarded, which went to the Rollin Con
structiOn Co. of Boston, the Power Co.
decided to build longer tunnel through
which the water would flow permanent
", which would give greater fall and
thus increase the development and the
efficiency Of the project, and the con
tract for the new tunnel, which will ex-
tend through the rock ribbed embank-
mcnt two and a half miles down the
river to Sherman, also in the town of
Nottingham, has been awarded to the
Hangar Construction Co. of New
York. 1t viii be IA feet in diameter and
viii be lined with cement.
This change necessitates the erection
Of a power station at Sherman instead
of at Davis Bridge. 1t will increase
the New England Power Cos yearly
output about 140. 100000 kilowatt hours,
whereas n power station at Davis
Bridge would yield an increase of only
105.000.000 kilowatt hours. II will in
crease the head from 200 feet to $50
feet.

Some idea of what the Davis Bridge
dam means to the company can be OBJ
tanned by comparing its development
with that at the Vernon dam, where the
Yearly capacity is about 244,000,00

About 1000 men are employed at the
Davis Bridge works. and more are ex-
rected. The dam is being built by the

WOMEN IN LONDON
~~ - GREATLY oUTNUMBER MEN

London, Nov. 25-A record increase
in the number of females, as compar-
ed with males, in the city of London
during the last year is shown in the
census figures. In the interval be-
tween the census of 1911 and that Of
1921 the female excess in London rose
from 1927 to 1853 as compared with
1000 males.
In actual figures the female excess
in London is 341,3 ,365, an increase in
ten years of 1882. The effect of the
war on the female population is
shown by the fact that nearly 26,O0O
of this increase, or about SO per cent,
is accounted for by widows. While
the enumerated population of London
fell nearly one per cent during this
PERIOD widows increased in number
to II per cent.
Although there was considerable
increase in the number of persons be-
tween the ages of ninety-fve and one
hundred in this period, the centenar-
ians fell from twenty, five males and
fifteen females, to sixteen, six males
and ten females.

HARDING WILL
ENFORCE PROHIBITION

Washington, Nov. 25.-Ways and
means of strengthing the hands of the
government in it's determination to
enforce the prohibition laws occupied
the entire time yesterday of Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet, it was
stated at the White House.
The discussion lasted for an hour
and the executive and his advisers
were representated as feeling that the
question was of vastly more injort-
ance than generally was given to
it. The interest of the government,
aside from the single question of law
enforcement, was said to lie in con-
Germ about the understanding of the
moral sense of the peopleby a. con-
tinued, fragrant and too ready vio-
lation of a statute.
There was no final dicision by the
cabinet as to just what steps were to
be taken by high administration of
fetal said there was the thought that
some appeal would have to be made
to the conscience-driven government
loving and reverent attitude of the
people of the United States.
This official declared that whe,l
men who had respect for other laws
sanctioned the illegal traffic in intox-
icating liquors without qualm there
was indication of a situation which
inevitably would have serious and far
reaching consequences.
The discussion, it was stated offici-
ally, did not enter the field of madi-
fcation of the Volstead act but was
confined solely to the enforcement OF
the act. The question of keeping the
government enforcement agents ever
lastingly at it occupied some atten.
tion of the cabinet but it was stated
that there had been and was no criti
cism of the prohibition administration

ALTERED THE DISPATCH

Yesterday, the Star sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to the Associated
Press bureau in Jacksonville:
"Ocala, Nov. 24.-Dispatch from
New York stating Geo. w. Neville,
Dunnellon, indicted with Sharum and
others for robbing Pointers here two
years ago, is ill, was erroneous. Ne
vile is well and ready to 60 to New
York when required. Neville has been
in business in Dunnellon twenty EIGHT
years and has high reputation for
honesty. Friends believe he is the
victim of a mistake"
The dispatch which the Associated
Press sent out of Jacksonville read as
follows:
"Ocala, Nov. 24.-George w. Ne.
vile of Dunnellon, indicted with JEFF
Sharum on charges of using the mails
to defraud stock investors through &
scheme they are said to have formed
in Ocala, is well and ready to go tt
New York for trial at the Decembel
term of the federal court there, it wa!
learned here today. The trial wa!
postponed earlier this week when ply
sicians reported Neville seriously il
at Dunnellon. The others indicted
with Sharum and Neville have no
been apprehended. They were al
charged with having conducted a fax

tells, through which they obtained
thousands of dollars"

SHORT TALKS ON
RETAIL SELLING
".

Edited by Ralph L. Wood, Principal,
School of Salesmanship, international
Correspondence Schools, Scranton, Pa.
Probably there is no line of bust
ness in which the need of increased
efficiency has been more definitely felt
than in retailing. The progress that
has been made during the past decade
in the direction of better methods in
retail selling has been one of the out
standing features in recent business
history.
In this progress, the development
of a close cooperation between the
employer and his assistants has play
ed a prominent part. Live retailers
have srystalized this idea of co-opera-
ticn into practical form by having
Get Together Meetings at regular in
tervals.
In order to make these Get Together
Meetings successful, certain sugges-
tions based on experience may be
worth passing along to readers of the
Bulletin who believe the idea is
worthy of a trial.
| First, as rule, it is better that
these meetings should take place on
the employers time. No matter how
conscientious and interested in his
work an enploye may be, he is likely
to resent your assumption of the right
to use for this purpose time that he
feels belongs to him and not to you.
At any rate, start these Get Together
Meetings on company time. Then,
after the idea is well launched, and
you feel that interest is aroused, try
the experiment of making the Get
Together Meeting a semi-social affair.
For instance, invite your staff out to
lunch, or arrange for an evening en-
tertainment, which will combine busi-
ness and social features.
Second, be sure to avoid giving the
impression that these meetings are
held for the purpose of lecturing or
criticizing. 1t is true that part Of
the program may be properly devoted
I|'a0 q Hi1SoSSiOl4 VI ways anu HlCS@AI5 VI
avoiding mistakes, but you viii find
it better to have these points brought
up by the employees themselves, as far
as possible.
Third, bring out strongly at the
very outset the idea that your pur-
pose is to take your workers into your
confidence. Explain to them that you
desire to give them clearer insight
irto your plans and policies. Tell
them that you feel that the success
of these plans depends greatly upon
their cooperation. Make them realize
their Importance as a part of your or
ganization.
| Fourth, impress upon your staff the
Importance of these meetings by hav-
ing them regularly. Be sure to be
at each meeting yourself, and further
more, come prepared to make the
meeting worth while. Have definite
program laid out, and be ready to
take a leading part in discussion, or
: better still, to draw out the opinions
of others, SO that there may be free
interchange of ideas.
, Get Together Meetings will estab-
lish a spirit of intelligent, enthus-
iastic cooperation. Try out the idea.

RUSSIA IMPORTS COTTON

Moscow, Nov. 25-The Russian tex
tile industry is just now passing thru
a crisis and, in order to save 10000
workmen from unemployment, the
government has permitted the state
cotton committee and the tevtile syn
dicate to import 100000 pools or
$4,000 tons of cotton, assigning for
this purpose a six months loan of
20,O00,000 gold rubles.
The new economic policy Of the
soviet government has given rise to
a number of combined state trusts in
the textile industry, and many fac
tories which have been idle for the
last four years are now running. But
the revolution ruined the cotton plant
ing industry in Turkestan and the
| Caucasus, and no fresh supply of raw
material was forthcoming Thus the
factories had to use up their small
funds of cotton left over from pre-
| war days, but this, together with the
expected harvest of this year, will
hardly last them till next February.
Working at the rate of one-ffth OF
the pre-war production, the require.
ments Of the Russian textile industry
for the next year is estimated at T..
100000 pools of raw material for l.,
100000 spindles. This years harvest
of cotton is estimated at 100000
pools, while the remainder of the
amount necessary for production will
have to be purchased abroad, chiefl!
in Bukhara, Persia and Khiva.
