Naturalization Dept. Evening School
 Invites Public

Tuesday evening, February 10, has been set aside by the Americaniza- ton department of the evening school as visitors night. While visitors are welcome any evening, at this par ticuiar time an especially urgent in- vitation is extended to the public to visit the class rooms and witness the character of the instruction.
 In one room will be found pupils who are just taking up the study of English and have acquired only the ability to copy print into script or who can read and write simple sem tenees. There viii be others who are farther advanced struggling with the difficulties of irregular verbs and who rad and speak with some fiuency.
 In another room will be seen a group who are preparing for Ameri- can citizenship. These are studying the high points of American history, and are learning about the local, county, state and national govern ments.
 All the classes of instruction are aided by quantity of illustrative material. Word lists, maps, charts, pictures and special textbooks rein. force the instruction by the teacher and make the learning process easier, pleasanter and more vivid for the stu dent.

 lt is unimportant as to just how many weeks ago the first gasolene bus appeared, and, after one days round trip from New London to Putnam and return, 1t limped to the repair shop. and the locomotive and passenger coaches went back on the run.
 The company gave orders that the gasolene bus be retired from service until further notice.
 In week or a month, time is imma~ terial, the queer sounding warning sig- nal was heard again and, looking from the sanctum of the editorial depart ment, there was the rejuvenated and repaired motor bus coming up the line ! in the middle morning hours.
 Day after day the peculiarity of the warning whistle gave notice that the bus was still bussing. One got ac- customed to the unusual whistle and thought no more about it. Nor was much more thought given to the bus itself. It was taken for granted that the old locomotive had been put on the shelf and the little modern convey ance had become fixture.
 However, there were some wait and sees" emanating from older rail- road men, by whom the bus was con- sidered an interloper.
 Back and forth and forth and back ran the little gas car with a capacity of forty-three passengers. At times is was quite large enough; at other times, it IS said, that the strap hangers were

COLLEGLANS AT
 VALENTINE TEA
Brown College Boys Will Fur nish Music For Dancing
 In Evening
Affair Will Be held Next Week S.tur-
 day, February iA

All plans have practically been com pleted for the annual Valentine Tea which will be held in Odd Fellows hall. Pomfret street, next week Satur- day afternoon and evening under the auspices of the Woman's Board of the Day Kimbail Hospital.
 One of the features arranged since last week is the securing of a number of Brown College musicians under the leadership of Mir. Mckay. This az. gregation will furnish music for dane. ing from $50 to midnight, and will be sure to put the college pep into the most recent dance music creations Miss Elizabeth Wheelock of Putnam and Mrs. Anderson of Danielson have charge Of this feature.
 The cafeteria supper will be served 1 from 5.30 to 7.30. the menu consisting of cold meats, salads, rolls, baked beans and brown bread, relishes. cof- l fee and cake. Mrs. E. Ii. Burt is chairman of the supper committee.
 The affair begins at 2.30 in the af- l ternuen, when the various booths dis playing many different offerings of merchandise will be in operation There will also be entertainment num- bers, and tea will be served.
 The Valentine Tea has become an institution of the Woman's Board an organization of women working unit edly for the Day kimball Hospital Some years back fl was the custom to serve an annual May breakfast. This was found to be a very burdensome task. and later the plan Of Valentine Tea as a substitute was tried out with success. The day chosen is in thg nature of a memorial occasion for the late Day Kimhall. for whom the hos pital Is named. as his birthday came on Valentines Day.
 l side from it's social feature and the entertainment offered, the Nalen- tine Tea represents cause that ev- cry person in eastern Windham eoun- " is interested in, and appeals for
 which never find deaf ears. The hos. pital has grown many fold since it was started as an "infirmary" In a private house on Bolles street about thirty l five years ago. No one foresaw at that time the wonderful institution of today. although the more optimistic may have dreamed of such hospital Enlarged several times. the hospital can now accommodate many times its
 original capacity. but notwithstand- ing the continued additions there are still times when patients may be found occupying cots in the corridors, and many times nurses have no other sleeping quarters It is to relieve this congestion that the nurses home is Co be built as soon as possible.
 The receipts from the Valentine Tea will be devoted by the Woman's Board solely to needs of the hospital, which are many, and to meet which the Wom- ans Board is kept very active.

WILL MAKE BOSTON
 ARMAn TERMINUS
New England Business Interest ed In Two Bills Now Be
 fore Congress
Would Give over-Night Postal Ser
 vice to Chicago

The Boston Chamber of Commerce. and other civic bodies are behind q proposed legislative plan that will bring air mail service Co New England and will make Boston the eastern terminus of the air mail route.
 Two bills dealing with the develop ment of the air mail are now before the present session of Congress. They follow.
 A bill establishing transmission and carrying of mail by airplane and flying machines" This bill authoriz- es the Postmaster General to extend the present air mail service to any part of the United States.
 X bill '.to encourage commercial aviation and to authorize the Post master General Co contract for air mail service" This bill authorizes the Postmaster General to contract with any individual. firm, or corpora ton to transport mail by airplane.
 These bills have already passed the House and are before the Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. The latter has been reported favorably in the Senate. IL Is gen erally believed that if both can be brough before the Senate for con. sideration they will be passed. They are supported by ths Administration and are purely non-partisan.
 In the event of favorable Senate action. the next step would be the passage of an appropriation measure to finance the extensions designated by the Postmaster General.
 The passage of the bills and appro- pfiation would then be followed by the actual extension to Boston. The Post Office Department las already stated that with the proper authoriza- ton and a sufficient appropriation il would so extend the air mail service. The department favors making Bos- ton the Eastern Terminus of the pres. ent route and it has failed to make the extension only because of the fact that the present law relative to air mail transportation restricts i. specifically to New York and San Francisco and intermediate points.
 There are many benefits Co be de. rived by the business men of New England from such an extension, chief among which Is overnight pos tai service to Chicago.

STATES ATTY. SEARLS
 TALKS ON MEDICAL BILL.
Addresses Norwich Rotarians At Wednesday Luncheon
 At Wauregan House
Some Sert of Legislative Action
 Necessary

An interesting and instructive talk on the medical bill introduced in the legislature last week was given by States Attorney Charles F. Searls of Putnam. Wednesday noon, at the weekly meeting of the Norwich Ro- tary Club at the Wauregan House. Attorney Searls was asked to go 10 Norwich to speak on the bill by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce at the request of the doctor members of the Norwich Rotary Club, who had charge of Wednesdays meeting.
 Period of Scandal
 Attorney Searls prefaced his talk with an abundance of wit and humor. telling number of humorous stories at the expense of the lawyers, doe tors and clergymen. In taking up the serious part of his talk, Attorney Searls said that the state of Connecti- cut has passed through a period of scandal caused by the praeticing of qaack physicians who have had little or no medical training. This had given the state such a bad reputation that there k only one state that will recognize a certificate to a physician issued to 4 doctor. In all other states the physician must pass a state ex- animation. Everyone knows that Con- nectfcut has just as good physicians as any other state, but the bogus doctors have caused the other states to regard all Connecticut physicians with more or less suspicion when applying for right to practice.
 Not an Nj. D.'s Trust
 I and E now before the legislature, said Mir. Searls. to correct and prevent a further continuance of this evil. This bill is not by any means doc tors trust bill" nor is it intended to rule out any physician that is fitted for the profession. IL is intended to shut out the unprepared and fraadu- lent practitioner. The nations prog ress depends largely on the health of its people, physically, mentally and morally. We and posterity must have health. We want no bogus phy- sieian Experimenting on us. If these doctors can experiment on us who is safe? Something must be done to pro. teet the legitimate physician, and this bill is to purify the profession and bar out the quacks.
 Urged Legislation
 Mir. Searls said he was not advoeat- ing this particular bill. but that he was urging that some legislative ae- ton be taken at the present session.
 Following Mir. Searls' talk Senator Park, President Campbell and Il. ii. Lerou spoke of the medical bill, and endorsed Mr. Searls' remarks Lucius Briggs introduced motion that the Rotary Club go on record as favoring some sort of legislation that would prevent the fraudulent doctor from practicing. The matter was referred to the board of directors.
