SHIPS
TAKE LEAD

British ships are gaining rapidly

the foreign trade of the, United
States. -.

last season, the British merchant
fleet again this year will take a
commanding lead over American

Only 80 per cent Of the exports
from the United States last year
went in American bottoms, while
"a per cent of the imports were
carried under the American flag.
Besides, Americas billion dollar
favorable trade balance of last year
will be cut by two-thirds. Officials
explained that this Is caused by
the higher value OF imports, >partic-

ed demand for raw materials and
expensive foreign food stuffs in
the domestic market.
Estimates indicated that OF a

69 Students in Opening
 TheOlOgicaI Class

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 30 CP)- The Harvard Theological school opened today with a registration of
 69 students, the largest registration i in it's history, and no longer affilat- ed with the Andovcr Theological seminary, as it has been for the last four years.
 The Harvard school has nearly all the students of the formerly com- bined schools. The curriculum for the year is essentially the same as
 offered by the two schools during
 their years of affiliation. The And
 over building announces no courses for the academic year.
 The members of the Andover faculty have resigned their Andover professorships owing to the condi- tioTs now required for the tenure of professorships in Andover as inter- preted by the supreme court. This is that the theology taught shall be
 the same as that for teaching of | which it was endowed.
 No announceemnt is made as to plans for Andpvcr's future.

 Last nights meeting of the Con- munity club was well attended there being about 100 members present. The committee in charge of moving the library was discharged with a vote of thanks. w. H. Payne re- qucsted by letter that he permitted to resign from the fair committee owing to illness. His resignation was accepted with regret. Paul Lund was appointed by the chair to fill the place vacated by NIr. Payne. After the business meeting Rev. Vernon Philips of Kensington gave a short talk to the club members, his subject being How to keep from making a monkey out of your self.' The subject was cleverly handled by Mr. Phillips who gave his audience considerable to think about, at the same time interspers- ing much wit and humor.

FIGHT OVER NURSE
 BECOMING WARMER League Of Women Voters De- !, CliDeS to Back Down
 HAS MANY SUPPORTERS
New Britain Association Cannot
 Care For Berlin CaSeS-Boy On Bicycle Hit By Motorcyclist and { Investigation is Under Way.

The Kensington League of Women Voters in reply to the assertion made yesterday that the signers of the petition for consideration of a district nurse were not all in favor of the appointment of the nurse, stated that although some of the names enlisted on the roll were placed on the paper for the purpose of bringing the question before the town meeting, the largest part of the signatures stood for hearty en- dorsement of the plan.
 The necessary amount of names to bring the petition before the town meeting being 20, the solicitors went out with the understanding that after the 20 names were acquired, the other names should stand for endorsement of the plan. As some 200 names were received on the pc tition, the league claims that the persons who signed merely to bring the question before the vote at town meeting are in the minority.
 The league is preparing for a fight over the issue when it is intro- duced at the meeting As it is the first large health n assure to be forwarded by the league the mem bers are anxious to see the bill passed to prove the usefulness of the organization. At present, the officers state, this place is not aided by the Visiting Nurse association of New Britain and the need for the Inauguration of the plan surpasses any tax increase that the bill might mean.
 One of the rebels from the ranks of approvers of the plan, has made the suggestion that q certain amount be appropriated by the town to pay for service from the New Bril ain Visiting Nurse association, who would be subject to call when need ed. This would do away with the necessity of keeping a nurse when she would not be needed and some plan could be worked up whereby the nurse would either be paid by the visit by the town or a blanket charge paid to the association which would cover all Berlin cases. Whether or not the league would consider any such measures towards gaining their purpose is not known.
 In connection with the question. Mrs Henry Hooker, chairman of the committee from the league that has the matter in charge, stated to- day that the New Britain Visiting Nurse association has declined to handle Berlin cases as it is over

Electricity the Cause
of Auroyal Displays

Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights or
Streamers, Aurora Polaris and Aus
trials, and Polar Light are the differ
ent names given to an electrical me-
teOr, appearing most frequently IN
high ATTITUDES in the form of luminous
clouds, arches and rays, the latter
sometimes meeting at a point near the
zenith, forming what is called a go
real crown" The generally accepted
theory Is that the aurora is due to the
ascent of positive electricity from the
intercepted water surfaces, which
flow toward the poles. In the polar
regions it descends toward the earth
and comes in contact with the terres-
trial negative electricity, which results
in luminous discharges of great bril-
liancy. Intimate relations exist be-
tween sun spots, magnetic storms and
auroras, the appearance of a large
spot on the solar disk being almost
invariably accompanied by a magnetic
storm in all parts of the globe. Dur
ing magnetic storms auroral displays
usually take place, but not all auroras
are coincident with magnetic disturb
ances.

Gained Lasting Fame
as Builder of Roads

The first macadam road ever con-
structed was officially tested and APP
proved in Scotland more than cen
t'ry ago. The inventor was John Lou
den Macadam, a native of Ayr, Scot
Land, where he was born in 1856. Mac
adam went to New York in ITO, en-
tered his uncle's counting house, and
became successful merchant
In 1888 he returned to Scotland and
purchased handsome estate. In 1910
Macadam began his experiments in
highway construction which have
made his name immortal.
The great road builder was thor
oughly Scotch in his methods, and as
he wanted nothing fiimsy, he investi
gated road building methods in score
of countries, travelling 10000 miles.
His preliminary trials of "macad-
amizing' were so successful that in
1916 he was appointed surveyor to the
Bristol Turnpike trust and remade the
roads there cheaply and well. The
house of commons Investigated his
system, and he was voted $4,000 and
appointed surveyor general of metro
politan roads. He declined knight
