Lippincut has evolved bran new an
highly interestin study called LEG

Enthusiastically announced that the ex-

His Majesty, Emperor William H.

lord was assured of the societys un-

ultimate return of his house to i'm
perial power.
While the meeting was still in ses-

triumphant voice the chairman began
to read. There were cheers after
each flowery sentence. But when he
reached the signature, his jaw

 Game Called Of
 The scheduled baseball game be- tween the St. Paul Tabs team and the Gascos of New Britain which was due 10 take place this evening at the Percival avenue grounds. has been called off because of wet grounds, according to announce ment of the officials of the Tabs team today. The Pcrcival avenue grounds have suffered under the steady wet weather and is at present little better than marsh.
 Work on the Community grounds at Worthington ridge which was tc take place this week at the hands oi the Berlin Juniors. has also beer held up because of the weather.
 No Disturbance Here In spite of some SacCo-Nanzett sympathizers among the large Ital. ian element of the town. there has been no evidence of any disturbance here as the date for the execution of the two men draws nearer. It is generally believed that no disorder will occur as the sympathizers of the condemned men have been ordcrell since their proposed alliance last week. No date has been set for the mass meeting which was widely ru- mored at that time and it is general ly believed that protest feeling has quieted down. Local manufacturers dispelled all rumors that general strike of the Italian workers would attend the execution of the two mon in Boston.

SCHOOL REPORT
 BEING STUDIED Berlin People Realizing Educa-
 ti0nal Needs NIGHT COURSE LAGGIN (
Poor Equipment, Heating, Lighting and Cramped Quarters Forcibly Brought to Attention of TaNpaSinS Publiclbthcr Items of Interest,

Considerable interest is surround ing the fourth annual report of Miss Mary E. Griswold, superintendent of schools, which was submitted at the monthly meeting of the school board last Friday evening. Special attcn- ton is given Miss Griswold's outline of the needs of the town in the fu- ,ure and the reference to the night school work.
 It is generally believed that the report was given to the pubic at this time in order that the situation might be studied by the voting pub lie before the finance meeting when will make up the budget for the coming year, some time in October. School board members are quoted as stating that the question of building activities is one which should have the intense study of every resident of this town in order that they might come ot the meeting with clear view of the needs of building ac- tivties which will be voted on at that meeting.
 At present q committee, formed among the members of the school board are Investigating needs for eX- pansion in Kensington. An option on a piece of property owned by Ex-Judge Willard I. Alling has been secured and it is general bellef that the school board will petltlon the town for an approprlatloh 10 cover a building to be erected in that spot. The move followed an appeal by the superintendent in last years annual report which stated that congestion existed in kensington schools. Miss Griswold has been a constant supporter of measures which might relieve existing cond'- lions in that area since her appoint ment to the office of superintendent of schools n 1923.
 Tn outlining the conditions in Ken sington schools, Miss GrisWold states that 659 children and eight different teachers have suffered from poor lighting. poor ventilation, croWding and general inconvenience in two basement and two portable rooms for the past four years. She points to the fact that registration in these four rooms will doubtlessly be larger in the coming term and states that two alternatives are open to inc town; that of taking away the four high school subjects classes and giv- ing the rooms to the younger chil- dren or limiting the age of pupils entering the school to six years. Five and half years of age is the limit now set by local school au- tborities for entrance into local schools.
 Instead Miss Griswold urges the construction of an eight-room build ing with an auditorium which would allow for expansion in future years. II is generally believed that the ac- ceptance of this last plan will be the goal of the school board before the finance committee this year.
 The night school question is an- other which will have the attention of the hoard members and which is being discussed generally about the town. Accepting the fact that the continuation classes have been suc-

Covering the Automobile Mirror

A new device for eliminating glare
in the rearview mirror from head
lamps of a car behind has recently
been placed on the market. 1t is
made of green pyralin sheeting mold
ed in such a form that it may be
clamped directly over the rear-view
mirror and raised or lowered at will.
The new device is designed especially
for use when driving at night. Dur
ing the day when full vision in the
mirror is desired, it may be raised.
For night driving in traffic, where
lights behind are reflected in the mir
ror, it may be quickly snapped back
into place. While eliminating the
glare, it allows sufficient vision for
the driver to see the roadway behind
him. The use of this device obviates
the necessity of pulling down the rear
curtain in a closed car. 1t can be
used indefinitely as it is unbreakable
and unaffected by heat or cold.

The People Win

The Supreme Court of the United
States has declared void the Doheny
oil leases, and the highest court in
the land finds that Doheny and Fall
conspired to defraud the government
Doheny's $12,0OO,000 expenditures
are lost to him and only an action of
Congress could reimburse him. Con-
gress will never give anyone part OF
S12,O0O,OOO in the face of such de-
cision as that handed down by the
Supreme Court. The Doheny pun
ishment is imposed in large round
sums. Recently Doheny and Fail
were tried in the criminal courts in
Washington in connection with the
100000 bribery of the latter while
he was Secretary of Interior. Both
were acquitted. The proceedings
demonstrate the difference between a
Washington jury and Washington
court. Way back in 1876 Jerry Black

The Wealth of Knowledge

Daniel Guggenheim has the repu-
tation of being one of the most sub.
stantial business men in America. His
firm has pioneered throughout the
world to bring raw products home to
the consumers of the United States.
A great many persons believe that
had the Guggenheims been left alone
in Alaska that the Territory would
now be rich and prosperous, instead
of simply hobbling along aimlessly.
Daniel Guggenheim goes to Alas
ka or to South America, and he talks
entertainingly about what he has seen
and learned, thus emphasizing the
truth expressed by Samuel Johnson,
who quoted Spanish proverb and
commented on it:
"He would bring home the wealth
of the Indies must carry the wealth
of the Indies with him-so it is in
travelling-a man must carry knowl-
edge with him if he would bring home
knowledge"
Mr.. Guggenheim says that when
his firm began mining caliche in Chile
that only 65 per cent of the nitrate
content of the rock was recovered as
merchantable nitrate. With more eff
ficient methods which the firm has
introduced 80 per cent of the nitrate
contained in the ground is recovered
as commercial nitrate. By the old
methods the nitrate grounds had to
be very rich before it paid to mine
them, while with the new mining
methods it is possible to operate on
grounds containing as low as six per
cent of nitrate. These results are i'm
portant because they demonstrate
that low grade rock can be successful
ly mined, and this proves the fallacy
of the claims made that synthetic nj
trogen will supplant the Chilean pro-
duct.
Agricultural scientists of the gov
ernment in Washington have shown
lively interest in the statements OF
Mr.. Guggenheim. The latter said
at is generally conceded by agricul-
tural experts that ammonius sulphate'
in which form today most of the syn
thetic nitrogen is produced, does not
compare in the results obtained in
the field with those obtained by the
use of Chilean nitrate of soda, the
natural product that comes from the
earth. Synthetic nitrogen" he added,
"was developed primarily for making
powder for war purposes by coun-
tries having none of the natural pro-
ducts, and it has continued as an after
war industry, supplying nitrogen for
agricultural uses and for war pur-
poses, if necessary, since the natural
