show your jealousy :. it will make
the other party twice as interested.
The matter will adjust itself but do
not jump at conclusions.

ago and l want you to tell me if
he is all right and is he in trouble
or is he hurt? / am his father and

Names Bertram, Bertrand

Bertram and Bertrand are prob
ably forms Of the same Teutonic
name, meaning glorious raven"
One authority says that Bertrand
means with the FURNISHED shield"
but that may be because Morse war
riors painted ravens on their shields
to terrify the enemy. The raven
thus became the badge Of a war
rior and the name Bertram ex-
pressed hope for its bearers Prov
ess in battle. Several saints have
borne the name of Bertrand, which
seems to be older than Bertram.

In Burma, when a person is on
the point Of death, he is careful to
burn a yellow paper scroll on
which are written some words from
the Buddhist scriptures, which he
has kept with him for such an emer-

Boston, Sept. 7-(specian n--An II per cent increase In general busi- ness activity in New England was recorded by the New England coun- cil's index of business activity for July over the preceding month, 1t was anonunced here today by the New England council, The Index for July was e6.7 per cent of normal, as compared with 77.3 per cent for June of this year and lo4.6 per cent for July, 1887.
 This increase in New England business is in line with the eight per cent gain in industrial produce ton for the United States during July as compared with June.
 "Breathing spelw
 Following what might be described as 6 breathing spell" in June, c month in which operating schedules in many industries are passing through a transitional phase pre-. paratory to the usual fall expansion of output. the principal industries in New England reported decided improvement during July.
 Of the seven components compris- ing the councils index, six recorded increases in July over June. Elec- trio power production Is estimated to have increased slightly in July as compared with June. Carloadings of merchandise, ]. c. l. and miscel- laneous freight reflected less than seasonal decrease in July, so that the adjusted index was two per cent above June. Metal tonnage receipts were estimated to have increased contrary to seasonal expectations from June to July. After decreasing moderately in June, cotton spindle activity resumed the upward move. ment which began in May; the in- crease in the seasonally adjusted in. dex for July represented % per cent rise over the rate prevailing in June. Substantial increases were also noted in the daily average con- sumption of raw wool by New Eng land woolen and worsted mills. with a 28 per cent gain in wool consump- tkuAl AAbaAb JuAtS VI gaiJs eiAS oSa0o44- ally adjusted index for the latter month is g per cent above the rate of consumption for July, 1887.

 The only series to decline in July, as compared with June. was that of industrial employment in Massachu- setts. less shoe and textile employ ment.

BUSY WORKERS RUSH ZEPPELIN
 TO COMPLETION
Successor to Hindenburg Makes Test Flight in
 September

Friedrichshafen, Germany, Sept. 7-(UP)-The construction hangar at the Zeppelin field, the birthplace of such air giants as the ill-fated Hindenburg and the Graf Zeppelin, is once again Q beehive of activity. The new airship Lz-lS0 Is nearing completion.
 Thousands of visitors to the ham gar every day sec, from their lofty vantage point Q picture of activity that is as vast as 1t seems disor- dered. Below them lies the partially covered skeleton of a Zeppelin that will be 246 meters long and q meters In diameter. Through ports and through irregular, dark openings in its sides, where the metallic, silver "skin" has not yet been spread, men and machines move constantly.
 The last gas chambers are being hauled into place. Artisans, busily preparing the passengers and crews quarters, are at work in the ships bowels, Machinists test the tensile strength of the four stream linedl gondolas-each of which will be the harness for the HOO horse- power generated by It's great Mer- cedes Benz Diesel engine. Painters are giving the frail looking covering fabric its aluminium color. Engi- neers supervise the preliminary piping of hydrogen gas into some of the completely installed chambers. The tail section already Is completed and the Lz-lS0 lies sleek and shin- ing and silver.
 VIII Use Hydrogen
 The new Zeppelin will be filled with the highly infiammable hydro gen gas on her trial trips; but the less buoyant non-infiammahle he- Hum gas will be used on regular, commercial flights If 1t is made available. The Lz-l30 will carry 70 passengers in newly designed quarters. The use of helium would ohviate the necessity for the elabo. rate precautions taken against com. bustion in the Hindenburg. It will require, however, the elimination of all possible weight.
 Such progress already has been made on the new ship that 1t is expected to Do in the air by the middle of September. There are rumors that It's trial flights will take 1t as far south as Rome, and to a visit to the giant NaSl party con. gress at Nuremberg in the middle of September.

Mayor Frank Hayes, members of the subcommittee of the Board Of Finance headed by Commissioner Major W. Judge, and Howard Fer guson, Griffenhagen & Associates staff official, will meet with heads of city departments this afternoon to devise further economies in Wat terbury's 1888 budget towards ball. ancing the books and completing the year without emergency recourse.
 Already, the Board of Finance, with cooperation of Mayor Hayes and department heads, has devised an approximate $S50,O00 saving from the budgetary outline of the year, as devised during better economic times last fall.
 Practical Minimum
 The Griffenhagen & Associates staff, with departmental agreement, added to this sum about $50,000 in economy, on the basis of the full year, and today's meeting will see similar attempt to shave the gov- ernmental costs to a practical mini mum.
 That Controller Sherwood Row. land, by way of the press of Candi- date-for- Governor William J. Pape, offered liking for publicity" regard ing the meeting. was not considered 6 practical impulse from the stand point of the officials who must ef- feet the savings. It was remarked that the possibility of recommenda- ton that some saving could result from transfer of employees. or changes in personnel, would not be arranged with harmonious agree ment should such matter be public ized for political purpose.
 Members of the 0rifienhagen stan have remarked favoEably on the complete cooperation" received from department heads in their cutting process" and. it is under stood, there is fear that the extcn-

uation of a political enterprise into the proceedings would have deleter- ious result.
 NOn- Partisan
 The matter of effecting economies has been kept on @ "non-partisan" basis until the present, in the opin- ion of finance board members. That the controller should overstep his rights of office by subscribing to the suggestion of the Republican candidate was not looked upon fa- vorably today.
 The finance board and the sub- committee, which includes Commis- sioners John H. Goss and Charles B. Jackson, as well as the controller, will receive report on the proposed savings at the adjourned meeting tomorrow, called to repair the inc adequacies of the controllers ofiice in the matter of providing pay for garbage collectors over ten weeks.

Ing legend, "Ham and Eggs for Californians,"
 Such is the theory. The objectives are laudable. All opposition has centered around twill 1t workP" Opponents reply with e united and mortified cry of "Nol And 1t would ruin the state while 1t failedW
 They argue like this: First, 1t is @ delusion, because 1t plainly vio- lates the provision in the U. S. Constitution forbidding sates to coin money, Proponents say 1t doesn't. Only the courts could decide.
 Second, the issuance of so tre- rnendous a volume of money" would throw the price structure out of gear, and immediately prices would skyrocket. The people rec ceiving the scrip (and everybody else, of course) would soon be pay ing such prices for him and eggs that $30 wouldn't buy e plateful. Proponents admit prices would rise. But they say: lot them rise, for the bill provides that the state would then just issue enough more crisp so that pensioners could still buy their ham and eggs What the other people who are paid in real money would do. is another question.
 Third, the act provides that Cali fornia would have to take scrip in tax payments Soon, 1t is argued, 1t would have nothing but scrip, and It's credit would 90 bust.
