Quaint Epitaphs or
 Past h 4 Volumes

bourn, England, 1929, which says:
 "30 years I was a maid, lS months a wife, one hour I was a mother and then I lost my life.'
 High political feeling of 1885 is reflected in the epitaph of Elisha Bowman, Henryville, Ind, which reads: "He believed that nothing but the success of the Democratic party would ever save this union." Among Bethels queer ones" Is tombstone in Solon, O., with the brief but bewildering statement: Born May 8, 1863. Died February 3, 1861."
 Errors By StOnecutters Bethel explained that tomb- stones recording lives of prodigious length are usually the work of jokesters who add a figure or the unwilling mistakes of stonecut- ters. Bethel has photographs of tombstones depicting persons who lived" several hundred years.
 Bethel regards as his oldest dis- covery the grave of Nancy Martin who died at sea in 1857 and who IS buried in a cask of wine in Will mington, N. c. Her father, @ sea captain, brought back her body preserved in the barrel of wine and buried her in 1t, chair, wine, cask and all.
 A choice example of the popu- lar practice of connecting 6 mans gravestone and his life work is found in Delphos, O., where log cutters grave is marked with Q huge stone log with the inscrip- tion: He sawed logs for 70 years, but he won't saw this one."
 A railroad workers gravestone bears the line: Papa, did you wind your watch?"
 Huge Grave Found
 The largest grave Bethel photo- graphed is in Stamford, England, where Daniel Lambert's headstone records that Daniel had a leg meas. urement of 3 feet, inch; body meas urement, g feet, { inches; weight, 52 stone (74o pounds), and that ll2 feet of elm were required to make his coffin.
 The most frequently encountered verse, Bethel said, dating from the 14th century, is some variation of:
 Stranger, stop and read.
 As you are now SO once was I, I As am now so shall you be. Prepare for death and follow me. In an English cemetery Bethel found grave where a wag had added: tcs
 To follow you I'll not consent, Until ! know which way you went. tfI.
 Although Bethel's collection mum. bers more than 5000 strange epi- taphs. he plans to continue collect ing. He hasn't found one he wants for himself.

DEFENSE WORK
 HERE LARGEST
Increase In Number Of Telephones, Calls Cited
 As Evidenced

Members of the Rotary club were told yesterday at their weekly luncheon meeting in The Elton, that this state is showing the largest per capita defense produc- ton in the nation. The speaker was E. Leslie Beebe, manager of the Waterbury office of the South ern New England Telephone Co.,, and the subject of his address was, Industry Huns and Reaches for the Telephone.
 Increased installation of phones was pointed out by the executive, apd the fact that 7,250,00O toll calls were made in Connecticut during the first three months of the cur- rent year, besides 160 million local calls. These figures constitute an increase of 25 percent over the cor- responding period last year.
 Indicative of the demand for new telephones created by the defense program, was the announcement that construction costs average sl. 900 900 monthly. and billion feet of telephone wires and cables are installed annually in Connecticut.
