N. H. ROAD TO RUN
 ECLIPSE SPECIAL
Extra Excursion Train From All Points of State or, August 90
ARRIVE AUGUST 31.A. M.

The New Haven railroad has added another excursion to It's long list of regular reduced fare trips this summer in order to enable people living in its territory to devote a holiday in viewing na- lures most spectacular phenomena the total eclipse of the sun, which will take place on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 31. through out the larger portion of Northern New England.
 The railroad will run a special train from New York to Fabyan, N. H., which is right in the center of the belt of totality, at reduced excursion fare and with stops along it's lines in Connecticut. The train, carrying both coaches and Pullman sleeping cars, will leave New York at 9:30 p. m. on the evening of August 90 with a stop at Stamford at 10:20, Bridgeport at 1850, New Haven at 11:2O and Hartford at 12:10. The train is due to arrive at Fabyan at ZOO a. m. on the following morning, the day of the eclipse. On the re- turn trip the train will leave Fab van at FOO p. m. making the same stops and returning to, New York early the following day.
 The eclipse, which will not oc- cur in New England again for eighty-five years, will assume to- tality at Fabyan at 3:29 p. m.. eastern standard time. The path of totality will not cross any part of Connecticut, the nearest point of the total shadow, being Cape Cod, where the view will not be as prolonged as at Fabyan. Throughout Connecticut, the shad- ow of the eclipse will vary between ninety-six and ninety seven per cent, so that the state will see only partial blocking of the sun by the moons disc. None of the spectacular and amazingly beautiful features of the eclipse, such as the sudden. onrush Of the shadow of totality the halo of totality, the peculiar shimmering shadow, will be visible in Con- necticut.

HOUSE HEATING
 BY GAS GAINING
Installations Growing as System Is Cleaner Than
 Use of Oil
3.oe6 GAIN THIS YEAR

Installation of gas house heating equipment increased by 3.9 per cent in Connectucut during the first half of 1892 in spite of adverse business con 1itions, 1t is revealed in statis- tics compiled by the American Gas association from the reports of pub lie utilities in this state whose sales of gas constitute 92 per cent Of the states total sales, Connecticut has been among the' leading pio- neers in the use of gas for general house heating since the latter's in ception, the figures showing year after year that the gains made in this state exceeded those in all oth- CT sections of the country.
 At the present time, however, Connecticut is not alone in record- ing increased gas house heating in stallations. The neighboring state
 of ssachusetts and in fact all of the states in the New England sector are beginning to forge ahead. During the first half of this year, New England's report showed a larger percentage of gain in house heating than any other geogSaphi- cal division of the country.
 Changes in the architectural SLyleS Tn nome DullulIiS die dHloIso the leading factors in converting home owners to the utilization of gas heating systems, according to Connecticut gas company officials. In the newer type of home, the basement is no longer being de- signed as catch-all for the storage of fuel, discarded furniture, ashes and the like. Newer plans call for use of the lower floors space, in many cases providing large r ecrea- tion rooms. These require that the heating unit be of a type which will insure cleanliness, which will not cause dust and ashes to accu- m1ulate and which can be operated with a minimum of attention. The gas house heating furnace fills these requirements in the smallest possible amount of space, so that the rest of the basement may bt given over to whatever use the ha1,ea ownar desires

Air Transport
 Travel Grows
Over Two Hundred Thousand Passengers Carried for
 First Half of 1932-Shows 30 Per Cent Gain

176,143 passengers were carried. A total of 26,035,920 miles were scheduled and 23,633,036 miles flown during the first six months of 1892 an increase of approxi- mately 30 per cent as compared with the same period in 1881 when 1S,etaoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqj te 19,118,857 miles were scheduled and 18,242,475 miles flown.
 Air mail poundage in 1892 ran between 4 and , per cent less than 1891 up to June 1st. The month of June brought theh total for the first half to 4,232,767 pounds or GA per cent under the amount carried during the same period of last year.
 Air express poundage totaling 66S,250 was reported during the first six months of this year, an increase of 72 per cent as compared with the same period of 1881.
 Unlike other years, mileage flown which reached total of 4,137,000 miles in March has remained at practically that same level each succeeding month. No new lines havve opened operations and ex- tension of routes and schedules has been offset by consultations. This makes the steady increase in pas- senger and express volurRe more significant.
 An average of 37,305 passengers were carried each month. but June traffic totalling 47,573 passengers exceeded the average by more than 10000.
 According to figures received in the June report, the air lines now employ total of GAIA persons. The total is broken down as fol- lows: II per cent pilots, 32 per cent mechanics and riggers;'8 per cent, traffic solicitors, office workers, 21 per cent and unskilled labor. 2S per cent.

WATER WASTE DUE
 TO LEAKY PIPES
Dripping Faucet Found to Dissipate Fifteen Gal-
 Ions a Day
METER SYSTEM HELPS

Leaking water fixtures waste more water than any other means of dissipating the supply and are especially costly to the community in dry seasons such as that now prevailing and to the consumer upon whose water meter the waste is recorded. according to officials of Connecticut public. water SUD- plies.
 Water supply experts have esti- mated - that a dripping faucet wastes 450 gallons of water a month; and that lan opening of one eighth of an inch will waste the tremendous total of 114,200 gallons a month, based on an aver age fifty-pound water pressure. Thus. a home with one faucet which merely drips is adding f1f- teen gallons to its water bill every day and Is likewise dissipating that much of the community supply
 which in case of a prolonged rain shortage may be seriously affected
 Particularly wasteful and costly are toilet fixtures which allow the escape of water. These and all leaky faucets of household econ. omy and of conserving the public supply. Because of the past tendency oi home owners to neglect leaking fixtures, the use of water meters has grown in Connecticut, meters being the most adequate means o1 preventing wastage. Cities as wei
 as. privately owned and operated companies have found that the meter system allocates costs equit' ably and makes the waster pay fol his wasting. Since elimination Oi waste and the conservation of tho water supply Is one of the bigges problems that water companie. have to contend with, the exten' sion of the meter system is rapid

BOOTLEG MATTRESSES

Pennsylvania is conducting a drive
against the illegal use of second hand
cotton in bootleg mattresses.
Many never knew such practices
were illegal, but they are, and for
good reason.
1t is not known that mattresses
carry disease, but the state proceeds
on the theory that mattresses are
most likely to be discarded from
homes where there has been disease.
These discarded mattresses find
their way, through junk dealers, to
factories where the cotton is reused.
In the bootleg trade these mattresses
get onto the market labelled, "All new
MATERIAL" and thus they are sold to
unsuspecting customers.
Pennsylvania seems determined to
stop this practice, and set an exam
pie that would be well for all others
to follow

TRADES COUNCIL FOR
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Hamilton Cooperative Trades and
Labor Council, at it's meeting Tues
day night, took an out and out stand
for municipal ownership and opera
tion of transportation system in
Hamilton. This decision was reached
after lengthy discussion and debate
of the subject and the stand of Trades
Council was practically unanimous
1t was understood that in the event
city council granted franchise to a
private company, petitions would i'm
mediately be circulated demanding a
referendum vote through submission
of the matter to the people, if pos
sible, at special election.
City council at its meeting Wednes-
day night acted in the matter, four
members, voting for one company,
two for another, and one said he fa-
vored municipal ownership. Action
will now quickly develop in the mat
ter, and before it is all over the
people of Hamilton will know more
of transportation than they ever
dreamed of knowing. The Press pre-
diets the present national political
campaign will prove only a small
sideshow compared to the noise that
will be heard when the referendum
election on city transportation sys-
tenn gets under way.

ANOTHER BONUS" MARCH

Communists are planning the
organization of a so-called bonus
march, to reach Washington on De-
cember S. A convention has been
held at which the plan was ordered
into execution.
There will be no pretense this time.
The "march" will be red march and
nothing else. The reds will not be on
the fringe. They will be "the works" "
In the face of this the commission
ers who govern the District of Co.
lumbia have decreed that the police
force shall dsperse any group of
men seeking to enter the capital un-
less they can prove their motives such
as the police may approve.
This is an unusual measure. 1t
seems to promise acute trouble, if
and when the communist parade
reaches the District of Columbia line.
That any communist "bonus" march
can serve any purpose except COM
munist propaganda purpose must be
clear.

THAT COST OF LIVING HOOEY

Those who some years ago used
cost of living figures to win wage
advances may now witness employ.
ers using the same tactics with cost
of living going down.
There are at least two fundamen-
tai weaknesses in basing wages upon
cost of living.
The first and most important is
that it gives ground for assuming
that the worker is entitled only to
certain level of living standard and
that in his relation to the production
of industry he must remain at that
level. He may enjoy none Of the
progress of industry.
The second is that cost of living
figures do not envision the actual
cost of living. Almost uniformly
such figures include cost of necessi-
ties only.
They do not include the costs of
many things that must be included
in any modern calculation of right
living standards and which seldom
move downward.
The modern worker is subjected to
horde of charges, of which those
things covered in cost Of living tables
form perhaps only minor part. The
whole idea of using cost of living in
any manner as basis of wage fixing
is repugnant and is filled with in
justice. It cannot be otherwise and
it was sad day when the idea was
first turned loose to add another
plague to plague-ridden industrial
world

TWO LIVE QUESTIONS
BEFORE VOTERS

Hamilton voters on election day
will be handed a ballot, among 9TH
ers, containing two questions Of ut
most Importance to the welfare of
the city in the immediate future. One
is that of the charter amendment
permitting the transfer of surplus
funds in the gas and electric depart
ments to the general fund, and the
other is levying a special tax of two
mills for school maintenance during
period of three years, beginning
January l, 1888.
The Press sincerely believes both
these questions are deserving of the
support of the Hamilton voters.
The authorities have made it plain
that unless the amendment carries
the police, fire and other departments
and including the collection of gar
bage, will be much curtailed. But
the most important item is that the
relief fund for the needy is sadly de-
pleted, and unless funds are quickly
forthcoming there will be much suf-
fering among the unemployed and
poor the coming winter. The author
tiles can figure no other way in which
funds will be obtainable other than
by the carrying of the amendment
to the charter as is proposed.
School board has also made it plain
that it is necessary that the two-mill
levy for school purposes is necessary
if the schools are to carry on with
the work of the past years Approx
ing the two-mill levy does not mean
an increase in taxes but that the peo-
pie are willing to continue the special
levy as voted three years ago, and
which expires December 81, 1882.
AS stated before, the Press believes
both proposals are worthy of support,
and it urges that the people vote
Eyes" on both questions.
