No outside agency can harm you. To

Types Most Commonly Used.
The methods most commonly used in
commercial types adapted for radio

the Aiectrolytic type and the mercury

rectifAr. the Raytheon tube. has been
developed which far surpass all pre-.
vious methods for use in b battery
eliminators where high roltages and
rather heavy current capacity are re-
Quired. This new method involves the
use OF compartments filled with helium
gas in which negative and positive
electrodes are placed. The tube works
on the principle Of ionization OF a sas
to produce conduction. The ionization
takes place when high voltage IL
applied TO electrodes.
The vibrating rectiher is very
emcient type for battery charging. II

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SENDS NEW RULING ON
 NATURALIZATION CASES

A communication from Raymond F. Crist, commissioner of Naturalization of the U. s. Department of Labor, pro- vides for a new amendment and sup plement to the naturalization laws. The regulation forms announcing the amendment are scheduled to appear early in September. It was approved by congress June 8, 1926, and pro- vides for appointment of the district judge of one of more examiners from the bureau of naturalization in each district to conduct preliminary hear ings on petitions for naturalization.
 The amendment also provides that examiners may take testimony con- corning any matter affecting the ad- instability of the applicant for na- +turalization, and make recOmmenda- tions to the district court to be ap- proved and acted on by a written or der of the court.
 In the past the district, attorney and his assistants acted as special examining board, but had no power to conduct hearings or subpoena wit nesses.

Boy Guests, 25s of Them. See Some Real Football At
 Providence

It will be a long time before 25S Windham County boys will be able to witness as good game as they did Saturday at Providence between Brown and New Hampshire Univer- sities. Through the courtesy of the Brown Athletic Council and the ea- operation of the Windham County Y. NJ. C. A. and the Rotary Clubs of Put nam and Danielson, this trip for the boys was made possible
 The crowd of boys observed outside the Putnam Inn Saturday was not n mob. but merely those who were awaiting the twenty-five cars which transported them to the game. Of the 25s boys l32 were boys from our own City of Putnam From the time the hovs left Putnam until they returned excitement prevailed.
 Representatives from the Putnam and Danielson Boy Scouts. the Put nam High football team, and the fol lowing Y. NJ. C. A groups: Putnam Friendly Indians. Pioneers and Hi-Y Woodstock Hi-Y Club: East Wood stock Pioneers; Danielson Westfeld Pioneers: Moosup Comrades. were present at Providence.
 It is hoped that next year We will again be able to get permission to visit one of the games. certainly all who at tended Saturday and many more are awaiting the next trip.
