ARMY HAS NEW
 HOSPITAL PLANE Machine Will Carry Eight Pa
 tients and a Surgeon

San Francisco, Jan. aS - The army is extending it's air ambulance service and has designed a plane that will carry at least eight pa- tients, surgeon and pilot, it was announced recently at Crissy field here.
 The army has in commission at present an aerial ambulance that will hold two patients and a sur- geon in addition to the pilot. The plane is so constructed that 1t is easy to load and unload patients. The surgeon sits in the center be- tween the patients, and by the use of levers can move them backward or forward. Thus he is enabled to reach any part of a patients body, to adjust bandages or administer medicine. .
 The local hospital plane is called the rescue ship and is available for service at moments notice.
 According to aviation headquar- i ters, the United States was the first nation to begin the transportation of the sick and wounded by air.

ID. & L." Chats - Do Not Halloo Till You Are Out Of The Wood
RUSSIAN SAYING

Once a Russian lad took a trip to the woods. Sud- denly he saw a wolf coming his way. He whipped out his gun, pulled the trigger, and the wolf ran away.
 This lad started singing songs. The wolf was sneak ing up from behind. The lad felt too happy to be bothered looking around. A peasant, on the alert, hap pened to see the scene. Were it not for his quick ac- tion, the lad would have met serious harm.

 TRUNK LINE BILL Berlin Representative Takes
 Project to the Legislature MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Worthless Stocks Held - Portable School Proves Too Cold Today Town Feels Touch of Real Winter Items of Interest.

Representative Deming today in- troduced in the house of representa- tives at Hartford a bill for the es- tablishment of trunk line road from New Britain to Meriden via what is known as Cat Hole Pass. The title of the bill is An act con- corning the addition of the High Road, extending from New Britain to Meriden, to the trunk line sys- tenn" It is worded as follows: "rhe highway extending from the New Britain town line at the foot of Ken sington avenue through that section of the town of Berlin known as Blue Hills and Cat Hole and thence southerly to West Main street in the town of MeTidcn, which highway through the town of Berlin is known as the High Road, be included in the trunk line system of highways
 A meeting in the interest of the bill was held last night at the Der lin Savings Bank. F. Allen Moore was chairman and Charles F. Lewis was clerk. Judge George W. Klett of New Britain was authorized 10 draw up the bill which was present. ed today by Representative Deming. The bill was referred to the con- mittee on roads, rivers and bridges. It is expected that there will be a large representation of New Britain, Berlin and Meriden citizens present when a hearing is held.
 This trunk line highway question has been received with more inter- est and favor in Berlin than any proposition presented to citizens in some time. A meeting was held a few weeks ago at the Berlin Savings bank, al which q large number of citiAcrs from both Berlin and Ken sington was present, in addition 10 representative from Meriden and New Britain, the terminals of the new stretch Of road.
 This meeting brought out the feel ing ca the Berlin people regarding this question, which was entirely fa, urable to the project. Meriden and New Britain representatives pledged their hearty cooperation. There was but one dissenting voice and the objections raised by this pcrson were of q minor nature.
 Since then, the special committee, appointed to draw up bill, has met several times, the final meeting be- ing held last night.
