Hardware Sales Prove
 Satisfactory to Dealers

New York, Oct. 6.-Hardware sales were generally satisfactory during the past week, and few i'm portant price changes were reported by market observers in the import ant hardware market centers. "A good movement of staples is appar- ent," Hardware Age in its Weekly Hardware Market Summary will say tomorrow, while advance orders on winter merchandise are accumulat- ing in more satisfactory volume.
 "The outlook for the balance of 1926 is encouraging. Jobbers and re- tailers report that sales equal those for the same period last year. Re- tail business is following the weath- CT closely. Unreasonable days have retarded sales while bright, sun shiny days have substantially help- ed business.

Whats in a Name?
 Enough to Foil Con!

Paris, Oct. 6.-|P- Halt" shouted traffic policeman on the main road from Paris to Fontaine- bleau to the driver of an automobile approaching at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The automobile dlsH up to the curb. The officer took out his note book, prepared to register and collect fine as provided for in the new law.
 What is your name?" he asked the driver of the car, which bore Great Britain license.
 With the suspicion of a smile the motorist handed the policeman his driving license. The officer took one long look at 1t, gasped. then swal- lowed hardS handed the license back and said: "On your way, but don't let it happen again"
 The license was made out to: "Algernon Clarence Fitzmaurice Brynmoore of Llelewyn," followed by half d dozen other names all more complicated than the forego- ing.

vice and suggestions in regard to the administration of the schools and its willingness to support the public school program. It has been a great pleasure 10 work with your commit tee and I take this opportunity of thanking you for your ever present support.
 During the past years, however, some things have been tried which have not worked successfully. In the first place, repeated attempts to or ganize evening school classes for the large percentage of citizens of for eign born birth have failed. This is due to the attitude of the pupil for whom the classes were intended and to no other reason. An evening school or extension class organized for the welfare of the women as well as the men of foreign birth in our community would be a tre- mcndous help in improving the ci- tizenship and general welfare of these people in town. The school must admit failure to do this work. Our only hope is through the educa- tion of the children to the end that they will work for a better citizen- ship and higher standards of living.
 Recommendations
 Tn bringing this report to a close, 1 would list the following items as the most important needs and prob lems which will require attention during the coming year:
 The Junior High School work was approved by the State Board of Edu- cation this year. It is very true that course in the Junior High School is very limited one. necessarily so because of our limited facilities. Un- til we secure a building suitable for such school work to insure training in library and reference work, to provide for practical educational program, a music and auditorium program, for the extension of the domestic science and manual arts work, work in the Junior High School must be limited to a consid- erable extent. It is necessary there fore, for us to make a study of the need for new building and of the assets which the town has to provide for this on the recently purchased site.
 ''The pre-primary work begun at the Center this year must be de- veloped and the work of the oppor- tunity room pupils should be extend ed in the manual and practical arts as well as the ordinary classroom subjects.
 At the end of the present year, some playground equipment was purchased for the new schools at the Junction. This equipment ought to be duplicated in the other schools where there is no equipment at all. The schools would greatly benefit by the improvement of the grounds for playground purposes.
 Though we made a marked i'm provement in the type of school buildings, little attention has been paid to the appearance of the schools, particularly at Elm Hill and the Center. This is a matter of civic pride. It is also a phase of child training. Our school children

TWO AGED WOMEN
 ROBBED BY CROOK
76 and 02 Year Old Victims in
 New Haven

New Haven. Oct. GP,-Two aged women, one 76 years old, and the other S2, were fleeced out of s52 by a confidence man here yester- day. Mrs. Lena Nevloff, 7s, report ed to the police that she was robbed of $50, while Mrs. Rose Felman, S2, missed S22.
 Stranger Missing
 Mrs. Nevloff said that while she was attending services at the Rose street synagogue. a stranger step ped up to her and told her to go home as her son was waiting for her. Arriving home she found the stranger who claimed he was a doctor and had been ordered to examine her. It would be neces- sary. however, he said, for her to place $50 medical fee under her pillow. This she did and stepped into another room. When she re- turned the stranger and the $50 were missing.
 Took More Money
 After the stranger had taken the money he went into the kitchen where he found Mrs. Felman. At his request she changed s20 bill for him and thinking that he had left the house, hung her pocketbook near the telephone. Afterward she discovered that s22 had been talk en from the pocketbook.

SCHOOLS PROGRESS
 NEWINGTON IS TOLD
(Continued from preceding page)

naturally produces a situation of steady growth in population and ed ucational obligations. In 1900, 690 pupils were enumerated. Of this number ASA pupils were enrolled. During the past year, we enrolled 730 pupils or an increase of 50.9 per cent in pupils registered during the last six years. A steady campaign against non-attendance and truancy has produced decided change in the situation. During the last year, of the 7S0 pupils registered, we had an average daily attendance of 639 of SIS per cent of the school. The increase in transportation facilities and the increase in the number Of schools more centrally located for the children, coupled with policy of prosecution for violation of the compulsory school law, has produced this decidedly favorable change in our attendance and registration. Along with this has come a marked increase in the number of pupils who are continuing in school.
 To further the holding power of the school, We have attempted to classify the children very carefully by a series of standard, subject, and intelligence tests, so that pupil is encouraged to work in the grade in which he has ability. We have grown so rapidly in our numbers that. we have reached the point where we could afford to establish our own local siX-year high school program, withdrawing our pupils from the senior High school at New Britain at a handsome annual sav- Ing in costs. This is a problem which must be settled in the next few;years as it is obvious that our H. nancial policy in sending our pupils to out-of-toWn schools at cost of s215 per pupil is an impossible one
 School Board Interested
 And finally, word about the committee. In 1920, there was six-member committee which was increased to a committee of nine members in 1923. There is no doubt that this change was very beneficial to the schools and greater progress has, been made under the re-organ- ized school committee than had been made under the old committee. The committee of six was largely one man committee and many Of our school problems were left unsolved. One reason for the improvement of the work. of the Newington schools Is the fact that our nine member committee works solely for the in- terests of the children and the com- munity with little thought of play ing politics. Your committee has won the respect of the community as evidenced by the willingness of the community to listen to your ad-

would greatly benefit by the i'm provement of our school grounds.
 During the year, the teachers suggested that careful study be made of the reading program in the schools. This was done. the work of the children was carefully reviewed at teachers meetings and at visits of the supervisors to the classrooms. The teachers suggested that during tho coming year we make a careful study of the teaching of English in our schools. Plans have been made to carry this out and the years work at our regular teachers meetings and conferences will be devoted to this problem"

PROBING CHARGES
LIQUOR SELLING ON
ship BOARD CRAFT

Washington, July 23-(P)-Shipping
board officials today expressed sur
prise over charges that liquor was be-
ing sold on government vessels, as
an inquiry by federal agents got I'M
der way in New York.
No charges other than the public
statement by w. H. Stayton, national
chairman of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, have
been received here, but it was said
the field forces of the department of
justice and prohibition unit in New
York had started an investigation to
establish whether liquor was being
sold on American ships.
AT the shipping board 1t was reit-
Grated there We're standing orders
prohibiting the sale OF liquor on gov
eminent vessels anywher and no vfo-
lation of these had been reported.
Frank Dow, acting chief of the pro-
hibition and customs services, said
special squads of dry agents were
contantly inspecting incoming and
outgoing ships. There is no inten-
ton, however, he added, of sending
agents on all government vessels to
determine whether liquor is sold. The
conduct of a ships crew at sea is in
the hands of the captain who, he said,
was responsible.
Several seizures of liquor from,
members of crews has been made
but in all instances, he declared. the
shipping board has cooperated in the
seizures.
Although seizures have been made
Dow explained that it was almost
impossible to confiscate a shin as is
possible under the law, because it was
necessary to show that liquor was on
board with the knowledge and con-
sent Of the masters.
