New Haven, Oct. s.--IP>-H. A. Shepard, general superintendent of electric transmission and communi- cation, speaking at meeting of the New Haven Railroad club here last night, said that the telegraph is fast becoming thing of the past.' The telephone is taking Its place, he declared.
 The New Haven railroad now has 2,111 miles of telephone dis patching circuits MT. Shepard said, and with 726 miles under construction, which will be complet- ed this year, will have a total of 2,SS7 miles covering the entire road, involving twenty-siX dispatching cir cults with 1925 telephones located at stations and sidings. By the end of 1929 We exepect to be operating 100 per cent. by telephone with the exception of printing telegraph equipment which we expect to place in service between headquarters and division points.
 T am free to predict that we will be about the first railroad in the country of any size to reach 100 per cent. operating by telephone"
 MT. Shepard said that 1t was un- likely that the New Haven" road would take up radio for some time at least, with the exception of com

Create Trial Courts
 For Japanese Royalty

Tokyo, Oct. 19 R - Japanese princess of the Imperial blood nev- CT have had occasion to sue each other in courts of law. Disputes have always been settled personally by the Emperor himself.
 The Privy Council, however, feel ing that legal redress should be given such members who might wish It, has adopted new regulations gov- erning such proceedings. Under the ruling any princely lawsuit would be tried by special judges appointed by the Imperial Household depart ment under Imperial sanction. Mem bers of the Imperial family would rot be required personally to attend trials, but need only be represented by their attorneys. The regulations also provide that no Prince or Princess may be summoned before a police court.

Ensemble Idea With Limited Funds.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

clothes and wearing them, but she
simply cannot look smart.
once the poorer woman-the wom-
an on limited dress allowance--used
to sigh for sealskin coat and dia-
mondS. She wanted to be fashionable.
Now she wears a neat string of inita-
ton pearls, dons cloth coat trimmed
with dyed hare. keeps down surplus
weight, wears her hat at smart
angle. has her skirts short enough
but not too short, contriveS to wear
shoes and stockings beyond reproach
and has the satisfaction of knowing
that'She is smart.
The ensemble idea is q good one for
the woman who wants 10 look well on
little, and this may be bought as an
ensemble or got together by the wom-
an who wears it. With most women
the smart street costume is the most
important as we'll as the most difficult.
A cloth coat With fur trimming Is
better investment When pennies must
be counted than an inexpensive fur
coat. The only necessary expense
about it is the time and thought spent
in selecting 1t. The simpler 1t is now
adays, the better.
A woman simply cannot look we'll
dressed now unless her hat is worn
we'll down over her head with hair
almost entirely hidden from view.
She must not attempt too great econ
omy in stockings. Darns where the
shoe rubs the back of the foot may be
respectable, but they show too plainly
nowadays to be tolerated. If you
must be economical in the matter of
stockings, buy some of the fine Isle
sort that wear better than silk and
are preferred by many FrenchWomen
TO silk for street wear.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Danger of Being Shy.

Yes. there's positive danger in
| allowing your fears to control you, so
| that you haven't the courage to go
ahead with such thing. for fear of
what other people are going to say
| about you.
| DO you know that when you give
in to that self-consciousness of yours,
time after time, you may be cutting
yourself off from all sorts of accom-
| plishments?
I mean that the only girl who
learns to swim and play tennis and
! drive a car and dance perfectly and
acquit herself creditably at bridge Is
the girl who has the courage at some
time or other during her life to say:
We'll, poof. ! may be terrible at this,
| but I've got to learn some time. If
these people don't like playing with
me. they can lump it."
| The self-conscious gal with the
| flushed cheeks who let's herself be
cast into an abyss of misery over her
| ignorance of this or that game of
| sport never gets anywhere.
| Afraid of bothering other people
with her awkwardness as begin
| ner, she shrinks from entering any
sort of game in which she knows her
| self to be otherwise than proficient
Poor kid, she doesn't give herself q
| chance.
| For few weeks, perhaps, she des-
perately strives to learn bridge. But
| II the friends with whom she is play
ing are just a little bit more skilled
IN the game than she, she becomes
more and more uncomfortable.
| After half a dozen confused apollo
| gies for perfectly natural blunders,
she relapses into Il miserable silence
and breathes IA sigh of relief when the
4 m "a
play any more.
Instead of welcoming each new
game as a fresh opportunity to learn
something of it's science, she persists
| In treating an innocent amusement as
! gruesome ordeal
SO, of course, she never learns the
| first thing about bridge. And dozens
OF times she wishes vaguely that she
wasn't so stupid about bridge.
| Half of the girls in this world who
think they're too stupid to learn this
or that are simply too self-conscious
| and nervous.
| If maiden is self-conscious about
| looking ridiculous, she hesitates to
! learn to dive-the knowledge that she
| Is making ludicrous spectacle of
herself cramps her style and makes
her miserable.
She watches other girls soaring
| nights through the air with envy and
wishes she had their skill and grace.
| But sort of false pride keeps her
from applying herself to the task of
| learning the art--she continues to
sneak into the water with a gentle
splash when no one is looking.
SO 1t goes with any sport or game
or accomplishment you care to men
ton. Give in to that shyness of yours,
ana you give up your chances of be-
| ing accomplished
If you're firm with yourself, take
yourself in hand severely and drive
yourself to learn the things in which
you're not skilled you'll be happier
and more popular as a result.
Don't cheat yourself out of lots of
run because of shyness.

Virginia Hastens Aid.

wILLIASBURGH, Va, December
81, Enthusiastically Gazette spread
before this State the most alarming in
telliGepce from the North regarding
the critical condition of the Continent
al army. Today the Assembly re-
sponded enthusiastically to the cry of
distress from our brethren of the Mid
die States. Only three days ago, upon
hearing that the enemy army had
gone into Winter quarters. the AS.
sembly countermanded a recent call
for a number of militia regiments.
But today, convinced of Gen. Wash
tngton's desperate situation, it called
for the immediate filling up of the
battalions heretofore called out and
for the assembling of nine new battal-
ions.
Justices, county committees, officers
and the other good people of the com.
monwealth, are earnestly urged to en-
courage the recruiting service, upon
which the safety and happiness of the
country depends. Still further almost
unlimited power is conferred upon
Gov. Patrick Henry for the planning
and execution of war measures while
the Assemblies not in session. Thus
the brilliant orator whose Give me
liberty or give me death" speech will
make him forever immortal, suddenly
becomes virtually military dictator.
But" says the Assembly, this de-
parture from the constitution of gov.
