ADVENTIST CHAPEL
 TO BECOME A HOUSE
Built In 1870. - No Services Held For Seven or Eight Years.-Eider Geo. ii. Stone Last Pastor.

The Adventist chapel on Chapel street has been sold Co s. kaminsky. Mir. Kaminsky will remodel the build ing into a dwelling house of one or two tenements.
 The chapel is a well constructed one story building built in 1870. The congregations were never large. When first built there was no bridge over the Quinebaug river where the Long bridge is now and Sunday morn- ings parishioncrs on the east side of the river were ferried aeross in a boat. No services have been held for seven or eight years. although the Advent Church Society is still in ex- istence.
 Elder D. Mathewson was the first pastor of the church.
 The last pastor was Elder George H. Stone. When the congregation was without pastor the Rev Amasa Morse, well known years ago as an Adventist preacher and temperance worker, often occupied the pulpit. Al the time Ellen D Larned's His tory of Windham County was written there were twenty-nine families of the Adventist faith in Putnam.

BASE BALL
Faulty Support Loses Gam.

Faulty support behind Weiss in the one bad Sox inning changed n per- fectly good B-H 10 lead into an g-f defeat as the Gibraltar C ub tailed seven runs of an unearned variety. Two booted grounders by Murphy at second opened the fracas as both in- field and battery took their breaks in the sixth. Weiss was relieved by Touchette after five runs had been scored and the bases full. Two con- secutiye walks by the Sox pcrtsider forcing in two runs found Weiss fn- ishing the inning with two strike outs.
 The Sox seemed unable to hit safe ly, their drives being continually gathered in by the fast Southbridge outfield.
 The score.

HIGH SCHOOL OFFERS EDUCA-

Retail selling, a 2-year course
open to third and fourth year girls
in Eastern and Western high schools
Baltimore, Md, is given in coopera-
ton with seven important depart
ment stores which serve as labora-

spend one afternoon a week and

tire week preceding Christmas, as
regularly employed workers in the
stores to which they are assigned.
Names of the practice girls are on
the pay rolls of the stores and they
do real work as saleswOmen. The
stores, to some extent, assume re-
sponsibility for instruction in their
training departments@ or ION the
job" Following each period in the
store, oral or written reports are
required, which furnish the basis
for class discussion and instruction
in the responsibility and technique
OF craftsmanship. In addition to the
valuable experience gained from
their work, the wholesome influence
of the high standards of punctuality,
personal appearance, honesty, and
dependability demanded by the
stores is often apparent in the i'm
proved appearance and conduct of
the girls. An important feature of
the cooperative course, in some
cases, is that the money thus earn
ed enables the girls to remain in
school until graduation.
A somewhat different form Of
training in service is carried on in
several of the large department
stores of the city for employed boys
and girls, who receive regular in
