 The post office was at one time located in the Athletic hall building but with the removal from the vii. ! l2ge Of the Berlin Iron Bridge O. the volume of mail fell off and the office has been located, for the past several years in private dwelling Ihouse.
 No specific statements have come from residents Of that community but longings are voiced and these longings take the form of post office subjects. They feel that they arc entitled to as good an office as Ken sington has. However. it is probable that the village will have to wait it's turn, being smaller than the Der lin district, as far as mail volume is concerned, at least.

 The Kensington League Of Wo- mon Voters will meet tonight at o'clock at Legion hall and if is eX- pected that the session will be Of great interest 10 members, as well as visitors.

 No Measles Epidemic
 There are a few cases of measles scattered here and there in Berlin. but there Is TO epidemic" said Dr. Roger NJ. ctriswold. town health officer today. Tie health officer stated that there are few cases among small children In Fast Berlin and one or two elsewhere In town. but the cases are widely scattered and have been kept well in hand.
 Berlin may consider itself forum ate to escape an epidn1ic of this dis ease, inasmuch as 1t is raging in many cities and towns throughout Connecticut, The Berlin health authorities are keeping 8 close watch on conditions here In order to prevent the appearance of an epidemic in this town.

Sport" is missing. The kensing- ton dog, known far and wide for his almost human actions, has disap- pcared from home. He is reported as "strayod or stolen" the Host" part of 1t being left out, because sport" is far too bright 10 get lost and it Is doubtful that he would per init himself to become stolen, that is, without a sbattle iii which any persons attempting 10 steal him would probably come out second best.
 The dog is owned by Patrick Kel- ley of Kensingson and was so well trained by CarmeIla Kelley that 1t was given credit for having almost human reasoning, Sport" knows human nature at any rate, and he las distinctly human ability to get his own way by the oft-tricd man ner of making a nuisance Of himself at times
 Sport" has wandered away be- fore, but he has seldom stayed long CT than over night. It Is possible that he has just wandered away to see the country.
 The dog gained fame through the fact that he vnS able 10 do the fam fly shopping at Giana's store. He used 10 take a note In his mouth, trot down 10 the store and secure his packages. But he never left the shop until he was rewarded with cookie or some other delicacy. If attention was not paid to him he al- ways managed 10 get in someone's way until his reward was forthcom- ing.
 He was also used 10 carry mes sages between members of tho fam fly and reighhors. It was only nee essary to take him to that neigh hor's hor, once. After that if he was dirot @ io carry note to some certain D = he did so and never gave up the note until t was safe in the hands of the person to whom it was addressed.
 II Is believed that Sport" will show up again within a short time.
 No New Diphthcria Cases
 No new cases of diphtheria have resulted from the conditions now prevalent at the PercIval school, ac- cording 10 pr. Roger NJ. Griswold, who Is in charge of the preventive work being carried on at the insti- tuition. He said that the "carriers" have been sent 10 their homes for one week and the pupils at the school have been kept under close observation since the first cases was noticed.

 The PlanyIlle Y. M. C. A. basket. ball team finished it's county "Y" league season last night with 50-11 victory ever North Granby and thereby came through the entire schedule without defeat. Tn fact. the team had nine run-aways, the only real battle being when New Britain held it 10 q ono-polnt vic- tory. so that there Is no question ahont the supremacy of the locals.
 Last nights game was played in SImshury. Ploinyilo had set itself to make 25 points in each half. and it did this to a niccty. Once more Freddy Miller was tho big man on the shooting end, rammins home T. field goals and two fouls for his high total Of the year.

 "Measlrs is a highly contagious Idisoaao which spreads readily from mild ra3cs nnd from patients in tn" 'carly stages before thc diagnosis is mado The situation has been summed ID in tho statement that irhe prevention and control oj measies. like that of whoornc cough and tubcrrulosis Is largely in the hands nI tAo public 'h"ms"lHo".'
 "In tho present stat. of our ku'wl dgo tho prcy'ution of m"asI'~ rests almost entirely upon on" mfa'- urc, namely, isolation of th" patient.

enigrantS who yearly voyage across

were discussed yesterday at the open.
ing meeting of the international La

some 50 countries attended.
Bishop Nolcns. head Of the Catholic

the provisions of the peace treaties
touching labor should be modified to
increase the chance of obtaining uni

Kafr's Crave for Music.

The chief musical instrument of the
tribal kafirs in South Africa is the
igubu, says w. Llewellyn Morgan. in
the Cape Argus. The igubu Is a long
stick. bent by a string into the form of
a bow and attached to hollow gourd.
Placed with the opening pressing on
the players breast, this gourd serves
as a sounding board. BY striking the
string with a light stick or a reed the
player produced a tremulous treble
note. without relation to any fixed
tune. For hours on end, especially on
their journeys. the kafirs will draw
from the igubu a succession of notes
without variation or harmonic method.
This monotony would madden a
European. but the tribal kafir de-
lights far more in rhythm than in
melody.

of Deputies Premier Briand will try
to regain a stable majority by en-
deavoring to modify the electoral

Under these conditions, when N is
so difficult to obtain an agreement
among citizens of the same nation,
which is indispensable for the recov-
cry of prosperity, how is it possible
that three or four European countries
could agree to effect such a delicate
operation as simultaneous currency

Nobody knows how the coal strike
