RAID INN SEEKING MISSING SALLY CLARK
THE CONNECTICUT
 LIGHT &POWER co
Has Plans Perfected for Introduction of New
 System at Meriden
FIRST IN NEW ENGLAND

Within a short time, the Connec- ticut Light & Power company will place in operation in Meriden a distinctly new and improved dis tribution system for supplying light and power, known as an "automatic distribution network" District Manager A. s. Jourdan an- nounced to-day. The new network will replace the currently used "radial system.
 It will be the company's first use of this system anywhere in Con- necticut and, as far as can be learned, it will be the first time it has been introduced into New England Installation work is al- ready in progress
 The new network" system for distribution according to Mir Jour- dan, embodies new principle as applied to distribution circuits which greatly reduces the prob ability of interruption to service, since in case of trouble on one section of the line, service is auto matically supplied from another section without more than a flicker in the lights. This same principle, while a comparatively recent devel- opment for low voltage distribu- ton systems, has been employed for many years in the higher volt age transmission systems. For in- stance, MT Jourdan states, power IS available in Meriden from many sources. Under normal conditions 1t comes from the company's steam and hydro plants along the Housa- tonic river, but, if for some un- avoidable reasons this source is in- terrupted, power comes from the Montville steam plant in the east ern part of the state, or elsewhere.
 Development of the network system" is a further carrying out of the principle of duplicate sources of supply, which for many years has been applied to the pro- duction and transmission of power, but not until recently was any method developed to carry out this principle on an economical basis in the distribution of relatively small lighting and power loads.
 The present generally adopted system makes power available over dulicate lines and equipment up to and including the distribution sub station, but that from this point on the distribution circuits radiate from the sub-station and are not interconnected. This is known as the "radial system" of distribu- ton. The network system" is de- scribed as the interconnection of two or more circuits in such a manner that in case of failure of one section of the line or trans former, service automatically be- comes available over another sec ton.
 The new "automatic network" is economical and justifiable only in relatively "heavy load" areas or where the lighting and small pow CT circuits may be combined. Hence the system is limited at present to the business section Of Meriden.

It was announced yesterday that the national convention of the Episcopal church at Denver, Colo, will appoint commission of IS to arrange for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the election of Bishop seabury at the Glebe House in Woodbury.

Standard Time
 Back. Again
Ushered in Yesterday
 Morning Without Hitch in Any Quarter

Daylight saving time gave way to standard time yesterday and church services were scheduled ac- cording to the new hours. There was very little confusion as the clocks were turned back, many Waterburians doing this little chore before they went to bed Sat- urday night. hence the clock was found to be ticking merrily on standard time bright and early on Sunday morning. :,
 The clocks were pushed ahead last April and during the summer months, the extra hour of day light was enjoyed by the residents of this city. although many of them were not in accord with the idea.

Six state troopers raided the Three Door Inn in Southington early yesterday morning and ar rested three women and four men. While the incident is reported as merely raid upon a house of i'll fame, local authorities are inclined to the opinion that the unexpected visit had something to do with the state po1ice's probe of the strange disappearance of Sally Clark, 23, who was given treatment at St Mary's hospital several weeks ago following a reported attempt at suicide. They thought she mgiht be at the inn,

Mr.. Binders style is somewhat that of his one

He is an excellent craftsman, an accomplished
painter; his modelling is firm and accurate, but
not too pronounced. The Illusion is of actually.
Thus the great portTaitists of the past have
painted, using their art only to conceal It,
striving to set forth the personality as well as
the appearance Of their sitters, recreating that
which is vital IN individuality. 1t is this, and
this alone, which gives to portraiture perennial
interest.
Mr.. Binder was born in Russia about 43 years
ago and his first instruction In art was in his
native country. He came to America when he
was about 20 and established himself IN Boston,
five years later taking cut naturalization papers,
thereby becoming citizen CT the United States.
For IL years he worked with MIR. De Camp. He

j. H. Marshall, Al, today surren-

Police smashed their way into the

morning and conf1scated 300 quarts
of beer, three gallons of alcohol,

Marshall said he had been at a

and was on his final day of the trip
when he heard that police had
staged the raid.

One thing indelibly etched on the

1t is an undoubted fact that the

DIPLOMACY DEBATED
Political Institute Argues
Over Secrecy.
By United Press

By United Press
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
11.-Diplomacy, secret and open, was
debated today at the Institute of
Politics.
DR.. Luigi Villari, Italian econo-
mist, and member of the Italian
diplomatic service, opposed the
modern method of open diplomacy,
while DR.. William E. Rappard, di-
rector of the School of Higher In
ternational Studies at Geneva, ar
gued in favor of it.
DR.. Villari agreed all treaties
should be made public, but said that
negotiations preceding agreement on
the treaty should be kept secret.
If they were made public, DR.. VIII
lari contended, the participants
would find themselves exposed to
attacks, in the press and by their
own people, for conceding too much.
This agitation, he said, might make
the settlement of a dispute impos-
sible.
He said that in actual practice d.
plomacy inevitably is secret.
