 "Perhaps Miss Fairfax would not care to have his story published" suggested Eddie, doubtfully, for he was raised with the old idea that to publish woman's picture was to al- most insult her.
 In my joy and excitement at eet- ing Eddie I had forgotten all about Mrs. Chester. who now projected her self into the picture by saying: T am sure I think it would be good story and perfectly proper. Virginia. you must tell this young man that your young friend made mistake in your name. Mir.

AN IRELAND IN THE ORIENT
lrom DailY Financial America.

From Ddily FludHCldl kAincliNd.
 America has young Ireland of her own in the Philippines. as General Wood has discovered. Between the Christian Filipinos and the -warlike Mohammedan Moros of Mindanno and other southern islands there is no agreement The Christian Filipinos are ambitious to rule themselves and their neighbors. They want independ- ence for the islands with the Philip pines for the Filipinos. They have confidence in the wisdom gained from American education,
 The Moros want separation from the Filipinos and annexation to the United States. their chiefs tell Gen eral Wood. Our tolerance of their religion and customs has won them.
 It is unlikely that America will force the Moros to accept the rule from Manila. The task is repugnant to people who have just passed through a life and death struggle for the rights of small nations. It would be poor beginning for a Philippine

PoLITENESS COSTLY
Interferes With Work of Operative
 Says. Company
Jumping Jupiter, read this!

Jumping Jupiter, read this <
 Telephone users in Connecticut have acquired politeness and courte- sy in such great degree that these splendid qualities may interfere with our equally polite and prompt tele- phone service. It has grown to be a quite general habit among pleased telephone subscribers to call back the operator and personally thank her for some especially good bit of ser vice. st...e.
 Much sas the operator appreciates such gracious treatment, the fact is that answering "calls of thanks" im- poses an additional burden upon her and is heavy tax upon her time, and she is very busy little worker every minute. -.a .. .e.. 5.-=
 Therefore, if you want to thank the operator, don't call her back. Drop a line to the Chief Operator in your city. Miss Central will receive the letter and being perfectly human, will be pleased and appreciative, more so perhaps, than if she received your friendly "Thank you'', over the wire when she is rushed with other and more urgent calls.
 Politeness is neither dead, nor is it vanishing from business in Conn eeticut. On the contrary it is gain ing ardent devotees each day.

 for Bremen

The committee in charge of the Easter Monday Night Radio Concert and Dance given by the Bremen have perfected plans for their dem- onstration of the wireless. [
 MT. Purcell of Lewis Electric Com pany of Boston using the apparatus of this company will take charge of the demonstration.
 The committee feel that with Mir. Purcell to operate the receiving set with which he is thoroughly familiar that the best possible results will be obtained.
 Owing to static conditions or an unfavorable atmospheric condition it is sometimes impossible to receive the concerts and programs broad casted. The committee wishes to state that they can not guarantee that the demonstration will be sue cessful that evening but feel that they have done all in their power to give a successful demonstration if the static and weather conditions are favorable. .a -...
 We hope that the community will support the Bremen in this effort by attendance and that they will be satisfied. If there is music or words in the air that night we will get it.

EXPLANATION RELATIVE 10 MOTOR VEHICLES Enforcement of Following
 Will Be Made by
 State Police

Questions are constantly asked l relating to the use which can be made of motor vehicles under certain specified registrations. All the uses to which any motor vehicle can be put under any registration whatever are defined by law, but on account of the somewhat necessarily technical language are not always properly understood. For instance one ques- tion inquired about is as to wh Jther it is legal for a person to carry pack ages and bundles in a motor vehicle registered as passenger motor. vehicle. In certain instances, per- sons are mistakenly taking out com bination registrations because the law was construed by them to mean that nothing could be carried in a passenger motor vehicle except passengers.
 The definition of a passenger mo- tor vehicle and the definition of a commercial motor vehicle are both determined by the design and use of such vehicle. Thus passenger motor vehicle is one designed and used for the transportation of persons with their necessary personal belongings, The commercial motor vehicle is one designed and used for the transport tation of merchandise or freight, etc. The passenger and commercial motor vehicle is one designed and used for both passenger and commercial pur- poses. It will be readily seen that there is nothing in the law which prevents any person from using mo- tor vehicle registered as passenger motor vehicle from carrying bundles, boxes, etc. and all the ordinary bag gage which constitute personal be- longings, provided, the original de- sign of the car has not been changed. But if passenger motor vehicle ori- ginally designed for the transporta- tion of persons and their necessary personal belongings should have that

LOOKING FOR MOTHS
Three Men Looking for Much
 Dreaded Gypsy Moth

If you. see one or two or even three men, dressed in overalls or similar clothing walking about your premises and gazing into the trees, don't send for the police. They're just moth hunters. These men are Frank Mcclure, foreman, Louis Labire and Henry Machin of Mel rose Highlands, Mass, and have been sent out by the Department of Agri- culture on still hunt for the egg clusters from which come the Gypsy moths.
 Only one cluster was found in Norfolk, while some were found in Falls Village and New Marlborough, Mass. None have been found as yet in this town, None, have ever been found in this section before, but it has been found that the area in which they now are has increased about fifty miles. The wind is responsible for this spreading, for 1t carries the caterpillars many miles.
 The caterpillars matched from the egg clusters layed by the moths may easily be identified by their dark grey color with a double row of red and blue spots on the back. The eggs are usually all matched by May lst. If you have some of these critters get rid of them or notify the officials.

PITTSFIELD-NEW YORK
 EXPRESS Is DERAILED
Switch Trouble Blamed for Accident Near Pease
 Crossing

The passengers on the Pittsfeld- New York express, due here at 40, had a severe shaking up last Wednesday when the train was de railed just a short distance above Pease crossing. It is reported that the switch was unlocked and that the weight of the engine after pass ing safely on the main line, caused the switch to be thrown, resulting in the cars following to pass on the siding.
 Engineer Durley, it is reported, said that he noticed the switch was unlocked and immediately applied the emergency brakes, stopping the train within few car lengths from the place where the switch is located. Tn spite of this short stop, the rails and ties on the side track were torn up, broken and twisted. The train remained coupled together and how it did, with part of it on the main line and the other part on the side track, is somewhat of a mystery. Some of the trucks were embedded in the soft dirt to a depth of over foot. They all left the rails with the ex- ception of the engine and a parlor car attached to the rear.
 Wreckers were ordered from Dan bury and Pittsfeld, arriving here about 7.30 o'clock and traffic was again resumed just before daylight the next morning. In the meantime passengers were transferred around the wreck, arriving at their destina- tions several hours late.
 The train was in charge of Con- dTctor Spencer Of New York and Engineer Durley of Pittsfeld. Short lv after the accident the superinten- dent arrived from Danbury to make ,n Investigation Railroad detec- lives also came from New Haven, ' ha. together with the State Police made an effort to ascertain whether 7-' ~ot tho r-vi1oh had honn tann~e~o1 .'-'+h. What their findings are we have been unable to learn. s
 A somewhat amusing incident oc- cured at the station. where it is re- ported one of the detectives had a fiash1ight stolen from his pocket as he lay on a bench asleep.

DAYLIGHT SAVING HERE2
Still Unsettled as to What Action
 Merchants Will Take

A paper is being passed among the merchants to the effect that thei1 signatures endorse the daylight say ing method, similar to that in effect last year. Whether or not sufficient signatures will be secured to this petition to put into effect, is not as yet known. Some seem to favor it while others look upon such proce- dure with equal disfavor.
 On the New Haven and C.. N. E. railroads daylight saving time will become effective on April 30th at 2 a. m. The summer schedule of trains will also become effective at that time.
 The situation locally seems to hinge on what action the school board will take in opening and clos ing the schools. The same argument comes up, as in last year, as to the advisability of trying to put chil- dren to bed when the sun is shining and getting them to arise an hour earlier in the morning.
 It is understood that Great Bar ringtonA and Winsted as well as several of the nearby towns will have daylight saving.
