Modern Device
For Transfer Coal
From Ships to Cars

Boston. Dec. 25-A modern coal
distributing plant which will trans
fer coal from ships to railroad cars or
to storage at a rate Of 5000 tons each
eight-hour working day is to be built
by the Boston and Maine Railroad at
its Mystic Wharf coal handling pro-
perties. The contract with John H.
Proctor & Company of Boston, who
are now assembling the material for
construction, calls for expenditures
aggregating $450,000.
The plant will discharge from YES
sells coal which is intended for the
railroads use and which is under
consignment to commercial compan-
les, and it will be distributing point
for rail shipments to northeastern
New England. 1t will be the latest
of several recent additions to the ia
cilities of the Port of Boston.
When completed, this plant with
three new steel loading towers, two
improved steel towers, big new
gantry distributing bridge and stor-
age facilities for 100000 tons will be
among the largest and the most mod
ern east of the Hudson River. The
storage facilities may be increased
ultimately to $4,000 tons capacity by
additional trackage. From the out
set the plant is expected to handle
more than 100000 tons year.
This undermining of the Boston and
Names Mystic Wharf property will
make possible large economies and
substantial profits to the railroads, it
is said; will assure to the industries
served by the Boston and Maine de-
pendable supply of coal and win save
none for the commercial coal COM
panies by the prompter release of YES
sells and more economical handling.
The provision of storage space for
railroad coal alone will save large
sums annually.
The Boston and Maine IN recent
years has stored coal atvarious parts
Of the system because of lack of
general storage facilities. 1t is ex-
bected that as much as $4,000 tons #
company coal will be stored at Mys-
tic Wharf at one time under the new
plans. This reserve will make I'M
necessary the double handling of
much of the coal now sent to local
storage, with a consequent substan-
tial saving in expense.
In all, the Boston and Maine uses
about 100000 tons a year, of which
about 100000 tons is tidewater coal.

Little Change in
WaterVille Voters

The sessions of the Waterville
Board of Registration held during
the last year and half have done
comparatively little to change the
voting lists of the city. In June,
1924, when the gubernatorial pri-
maries were held considerable work
was done but as the Democrats had
an uncontested candidate for the Of
flee of governor, the registration
that was done was entirely on the
Republican list and at that time 1913
new Republicans were signed on.
AT the session held the last of
November and the first of December
this year preparatory to the special
election there was little work done
and that was largely made up of
changes of address. Two new Re-
publican names were added to the
list and one Democrat while there
were two voters registered as Demo-
Gratis who changed to Republicans
but no Republican voters changed
their registration to Democratic.

Winter Favorable
To Contractor in
Matter of Workmen

Chicago. Dec. 25-(AP)-Jack
Frost has been whipped by the build
ing contractor, and the increasing vo-
hume of contracts being let for win
ter construction indicate that its ad-
vantages are becoming better appre-
ciated ~
A survey by ". ]. Lynch, vice.
president of large contracting firm,
disclosed that one of the principal
advantages Of winter construction
was that the more constant employ
ment attracted better artisans, and
tended to avoid the peak demand of
high wages and scarcity of labor ex-
perienced every summer.
"There Is little, If any, difference in
the amount of time lost between win
ter season and milder season work"
Lynch said. Delay due to severe
cold and heavy SHOWS does not am
cunt to more than a weeks time on
a building and equal delays due to
rain in the milder season seem to
have been overlooked.
ut will be conceded generally that
the quality of the work in winter will
be unimpaired, but It is urged that
the cost will be prohibitive. The cost
of heating materials for concreting on
a million dollar job will run less than
one per cent and the cost of heat for
interior work rarely exceeds one-half
Of one per cent of the buildings cost.
zone of the reasons for high wages
in the building. industry is the tre-
mendous turnover and the contention
of various trades that workmen have
only seasonal employment. due to the
nature of the industry. Furthermore,
scarcity of employment in the winter
months is a deterrent to potential
mechanics who would readily enter
the trades We're there an all season
demand for their labor.

during all periods of the year would

For the past year, the first of its

has been doing a great deal for the
younger generation of this city and
its vicinity and that its work is be-

The club has done much to occupy

the comfortable club house on Tenn

new DATA MAKES
HIT WITH MEN
The First Real Improvement
on Oats in Fifty Years

New Data is just the food women
have wanted. The first improvement
on oats in fifty years. A hot cereal
that men enjoy because it combines
the nourishment of oatmeal with q
new tempting taste. New Data has
all the keen relish of oats-all the
individual goodness of wheat - the
most perfect, melting texture with
none of the mushy, gluey texture Of
ordinary oatmeal-the most tempting,
tantalizing breakfast, ready in three
minutes. A perfect food for children.
New Data is the new hot cereal for
cool mornings. Evolved in the famous
Kellogg kitchens. There they have
merged all the exquisite qualities of
oats and wheat and created this
marvellous new blend.
And, best of all, this breakfast
takes less time to prepare than just
a pot of coffee. 1t has already been
cooked so that you will get every bit
of the marvellous flavor. Simply heat
it three minutes in boiling water.

SOFIA, Oct. 23.-Intervention by
diplomats of the great powers with
the Bulgarian government has APP

the Balkans, at least temporarily.
Working frantically all day
Thursday, the diplomats succeeded
in persuading the Bulgarian cabinet
to refrain from declaration Of war
against Greece and, instead to try
the pacific route leading through
the League of Nations. AS a re-
suit of this pressure from the great
powers, Bulgaria appealed 10 the
league to convoke its council in an
effort to end the border troubles Of
the two neighbors.
The cabinet was summoned for
last night to east its vote on wheth-

this momentous decision was not re-
