The Connecticut Light & Powe, Go. Announces Reduction
 of $500, 900
Dsnielson and Putnam Districts to Benefit

The Connecticut Light and Power Company, through T. G. Ralph, manager of the Danielson and Put nam districts. announced today that it's boards of directors has authorized q reduction in gas and electric rates, effective December 20 1880.
 The reduction in rates is wide spread, extending to all sections of the state in which the Connecticut Light and Power Company operates and will mean saving of approxi- mately S500,000 per year to the 146,0O0 customers of the company. A large percentage of the customers of the Danielson and Putnam dis tricts which serve the territory be- tween Jewett City and the Mas sachusetts state line, will benefit to the extent of approximately $20,000 Il year, according to figures prepared by the accounting department of the local company. The residence con- sumers, who constitute a large per- centage of the company's customers, are particularly benefited by the reduction. although the commercial customers also participate to sub stantial degree.
 Due to Greater Consumption
 The substantial reduction which has been announced was made pos sible Mir. Ralph stated, by the CO., operation of the company's custom CTS in making greater use of the service and by the confidence in Con- necticut which the company's secur- ity holders-a large number of whom reside in the state, have expressed by investing during the last ten years upwards of $50,000,000 which has been expended for new and modern machinery and plant equipment dur ing the last decade. 1t was not until the year 1880 that full advantage was had of the operation of these new facilities. During the past sev. eral years, number of smaller util- ity properties have been joined with the Connecticut Light and Power Company and their grouping with the larger unit has resulted in i'm proved service, ample power supply and substantial economies making possible the progressive lowering oi the unit cost of service. The present announced reduction of rates, he said, is a further contribution to this lowering of the cost of gas and cleo. tric service in the Danielson and Put. nam Districts.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, May 10 (N.AN.A.).-
When Bebe Daniels begins her next pic
ture Lowell Sherman will not only be
the leading man but will direct as well.
There is an increasing tendency to-
ward directorial and production work
among the veterans of the screen guild.
They know their chances for remark
able parts lessen as the years go on,
and their opportunity to run the old
salary up increases as they plunge into
this constructive angle Of the motion
picture industry.
The Moore brothers have eyes on the
directorial game. Matt Moore long
since announced his intention Of taking
I'D cinema work from the angle behind
the cameras. Lionel Barrymore's sue
cess In this field has been a tremendous
incentive.
Close friends Of Mary Pickford pre-
dict future for this star as producer.
Those who only know Americas sweet
heart" from the audience side OF the
show see in her a beautiful face coupled
with acting ability and a superlative
amount Of sympathetic charm.
Those who know Mary Pickford be-
hind the scenes have much to say of
IleT publuSSs SIIcWuLlCSo, undoubtedly
inherited from her mother. who was a
powerful factor in the establishment of
Mary's popularity, voicing decided pro-
nunciamentos as to what her daughter
should and should not play In the for
NATIVE years Of the Pickford career.
Mary Pickford Is far less interested
in social life than is Douglas Fairbanks.
She Is q child Of the cinema, business
woman ct heart. an actress by avoca-
ton, and beauty through the laws OF
nature.
She signs every check paid out by
her corporation. When the rush Of
work doesn't permit the Pickford to
make out all the salary checks, she
always rushes through q few for the
carpenters and electricians But close
personal supervision of her financial
affairs has ever been an inviolate rule
Of her business career.
The closing of her career before the
cameras viii probably open the doors
TO q more constructive and ambitious
plan Of producing the sort Of pictures

For the first time in many years
Elsie Janis will not occupy her famous

She will spend the Summer months on

And in between cruises she will con-

has made q significant name for her

WILKINS INSPECTS
POLAR SUBMARINE
Explorer Declares UnderSeaS
Craft Is Suitable for Voy-
age Beneath Ice.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, August S. - Sir
George Hubert wilkins, noted British
explorer, has inspected the submarine,
the Ola. in which he hopes to reach
the North Pole, and pronounced it suit
able for his purpose The O-12 is at
the Navy Yard awaiting reconditioning
and alterations.
At the conclusion of his examination
OF the craft yesterday, Sir George said
he was more than ever convinced the
submarine is the only practical means
of reaching the North Pole by boat.
It is the explorers intent to take the
O-l2, with a crew of Is men. provisions
for a year and fuel for 1000 miles, to
Spitzbergen. and thence over sea and
under sea to the open water in Boring
Strait on the other side of the Pole.
Craft to Be Renamed.
The OLE is one of several undersea
boats built before the World War 1t
has been decommissioned and was
destined for scrapping. 1t is smaller
than the average submerSible and will
be renamed the Nautilus in honor of
Jules Verne's mythical craft.
'sThree hundred ships have been lost
in vain attempts to reach the Pole by
crushing path through the ice, Sir
Hubert said Il do not believe 1t can
De done. We plan to cruise under the
ice at a speed of not more than four
knots. If we hit submerged ice at that
speed nothing will be damaged, because
of the protective steel we plan to in
stall.
Hopes to Pierce 12-fOot Ice.
"Eyery 100 miles we will have to
come to the surface and take in air.
If 1t happens to be open water we can
open the matches. If there is ice over
head We can pierce it with collapsible
ice breaker and through tube. We
expect to be able to pierce ice IL feet
thick.
1.-The purpose of the trip Is purely
scientific. We plan to test the be-
hayior of the gyroscopic compass at
the Pole and hope also to make pre-
liminary observations Of the possibility
of placing a Weather Bureau station
in the Far North. A station would be
of great value to meteorologists in
forecasting weather"
