NORTH HEADS EAST BERLIN FIRE DIST. Small Attendance and Little h.
 tereSt at Annual Meeting
 ELECT BOARD OF RELIEF
James W. Woodruff Seriously Ill., Wagons Crash. But No One Is Hurt-To Give Lecture On Africa In the Towns Churches.

A. A. North was reelected prcsl- dent of the East Berlin fire district at the annual meeting held last night at Athletic hall Other off cers elected were, secretary, Paul Siegrist; treasurer, Willis l, Savage; tax collector, Paul Sicgrist; auditor, Ernest G. Robins.
 Robert O. Clark, Raymond F. Dyer and Arthur Benson were elect ed members of the fire district com mittce and later, this committee was also empowered 10 act as a Board of Relief for the district.
 In the past, several questions have arisen as to exemption from taxa tion and several people have ap- piled for exemption. In the future all desiring exemption will be re- quired to appear before this con- mittcc and state their reasons for desiring said action.
 The old question of admitting the Savage Iill district to the East Der lin fire district was raised by Willis l. Savage. The deslre of residents of Savage llill IS to have the light lines extended so as to take in that part of the town. Most Of the resi- dents Of the district arc not of the same desire, apparently, since the matter was voted down.
 4 committee consisting Of A. A.. North, William E. Brown and Er- nest w Mildrum was appointed to draw up d set of rules. These rules will have to do with regulation of meetings and will be similar to by laws used hv lodges.
 The meeting was not largely a'- tended last night. A marked lack ofinterest is being manifested in the activities or the fire district hy resi- dents of East Berlin Is the conclu- sion arrived at.
 Sokolski was arrested Thursday night by Constable Frank Brown as he Was about 10 crawl under a trlin which was about to pull out of inc Berlin station. On the witness stand last night the defendant said that he had been in New Haven playing Cards. He said he drove his car 10 that city and left it in garage, re- turning 10 Berlin by train. He fur ther stated that he remembered nothing from the time he left the Elm City station until he woke up yesterday.

Ecu Bricks Actually
 Brought to America

How often you hear 1t said of an old house that the bricks of which 1t is made were imported from England or Holland. states House and Garden Magazine. People actually believe this to be a fact, just as they believe that the Mayfower brought over vast quan- titles of furniture Had this been true 1t would have required more than one Leviathan to have brought either the furniture or the bricks.
 The historian, George Cary Eggle- ston, remarked on this in one of his books: Nearly all these bricks. whether English or Dutch. were made in America, as later scholarly research has exclusively proved. The only difference between English and Dutch bricks was one of dimensions. The small bricks nodded upon Dutch model were known as Holland bricks. The much larger ones, nodded upon an English model, were called Eng fish bricks.
 "The very learned and scholarly historian of South Carolina, MT. Me Grady, has conclusively proved that the so-called English bricks used in the construction of Carolina houses could not have been imported from England"

Needles With "EyeS"
 Traced to Stone Age

The American spooled thread indus try Is founded on experiments made by the wife of Samuel Slater, whs In 1793 introduced Arkwright's spinning CT cotton gin at Pawtucket, R. I. Mrs. Slater twisted cotton yarn in an or dinary spinning wheel and made a two-ply thread. This industry still has to % back to Egypt, the mother coun- try of linen, for the sewing cotton used in every American home.
 It Is made almost exclusively of im- ported long staple Egyptian cotton. The larger and coarser sizes, for cro- cheting and industrial purposes, are made of domestic cotton. The first material used by woman for binding was made from the roots of plants, or leather thongs.
 Women's earliest needle was like an awl and was not pierced at the head, says the Detroit News. The earliest needles were made of bone. stone or bronze. In the Stone age needles be- gan to have eyes, this kind being found in the reindeer caves of France. China was the first to use needles of steel. This instrument, travelling westward, reached Europe through the Moors. At Nuremburg, Germany, in 1870, the needle industry was founded, and pros pered later In England under Queen Elizabeth.

Contenfed Prisoner

The idyllic character of the old New England village is prettily illustrated by a remark made about Concord, Mass. by former resident, MT. Ed ward Simmons, the famous painter. Concord, he says in his book, From Seven to Seventy" was town utterly without crime. There was no gazing into the jail windows to catch glimpse of the hideous offenders against the law.
 have heard of but one prisoner in my life, and he was so mild that he hardly made an impression. During my time the man was the only inhabi- tant of the jail, and technically he did not belong there He had been impris- oned number of years before for some offense and after being released had re- turned and begged to be taken in again, as he was lonely and had got used to the place. So you could see him almost any summer evening, sitting out on the steps of the jail. He was a great pet of the Emerson family and was hired to play the violin for all the dances.-Youth's Companion.

Skulls us ScarecrosDs

The word "scarecrow" usually con lures up the vision of tattered clothing on rude framework, standing in the middle of a field. but far stranger bird scarers have sometimes been used, says London Tt-Bits.
 For example one Ceylonese eultiva- tor guards his vegetables from bird pests by displaying two skulls on poles One is that of woman and the other of buffalo.
 One of the cleverest scarecrows ever used was made by a Belgian farmer. He set up a number of poles in the corn fields and conducted wire from one to the other. A bell was hung from the top of each pole and connect ed with the wire. The end of the wire was then fastened to a small water wheel, and as this went round the bells tinkled. frightening all birds away.

Copper in Olden Times

Chemical analyses have revealed that much of the so-called bronze found in ancient ruins or monuments is not bronze at all. but copper of rather high degree of purity consider ing the facilities for smelling the metal in those early days.
 This is especially the case with such objects found in the oldest Egyptian and Mesopotamian remains. On the other hand the bronze bands from the gates of the palace of Shalmanesir II are really bronze, containing about g per cent of tin, says the Detroit News
 Copper, rather than bronze, seems to have been the earliest used metal Iron was known to the ancient Egyp- tians but was so rare and costly that 1t was used In jewelry.
