EW ELECTRIC LIGHTING | RATE FOR BUSINESS PLACES - As previously announced, this Company will on January 1Ist, 1916, adopt a new electric lighting rate, effective only within the City limits of New Britain, which will be optional. The new rate for business lighting will be as follows: For any electricity up to an amount equal to Fifty hours’ use of the demand, 10 cents per KWH. For electricity in excess of the above, 5 cents per kilowatt hour. Minimum demand 200 watts. Minimum bill 50 cents per month. The BIG FEATURE of this rate is that after a man has burned his lights fifty hours a month ANY FURTHER electricity will cost only 5 CENTS per KWH. This will make it possible to burn lights in the dark corners all da our service in many ways you have not heretofore felt you. could afford. y; to use more and bigger lamp s, and to utilize And remember this--the 5 CENT part of the rate applies to the small consumer as well as to the large consumer.

Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 8.— Dutch people, are to be called 0 pay:nearly five .dollars . per ore takes.every year into the al exchequer as a direct result war. Hitherto the annual taxa- pt the country has usually hted to something over $80,000,- round figures, or about $16.20 pita; but the new bill just laid parliament brings the annual up to approximately $1.05,000,- $21 per’capita. des increasing the ratio of al- existing taxes, the government éclined to impcse ones which di- “affect capitalists, holders of B and bonds, pensioners, persons longing to the army or navy, in- ons enjoying incomes from be- s, drawers of registered docu- , railroad and street car trav- smokers, cardplayers, and poss- s of more than one front name. Dutéh Understand- rie Willem Frederick Treub, ter of finance, who himself will . - come into the latter category, has the task before him of convincing the Dutch public of the necessity of tnese inroads upon its income. It is gen- erally assumed, however, in parlia- ment circles, that Dutchmen as a rule will coincide with him in the view that it is better to pay the higher taxes rendered necessary by the national defense than to leave the Netherlands open to violation by one or other ot the fighting nations which might seec fit to enter its territory in order to further its military ends. The sum of the increased annual appropriations for the Dutch army and navy (now together about $22,- 500,000( does not appear very Dbig when cornpared with the present mili- tary budgets of other nations. The Netherlands, however, make only a very small spot on the map and the addition for this purpose of $3,200,- 000 to the already existing expenses of its five million inhabitants is regard- ed as a considcrable further burden. Omne Objection. One of the principal points of ob- jection by the Dutch public against the newly-proposed taxes is that con- cerning the impost on railroad tickets. In this proposition the Dutch govern- ment has, knowingly or mnot, follower the example of Germany, where rail- | road travelers are taxed proportion- ately to the class in which they travel. The proposed tax here amounts to fif- teen per cent on the price of first-class tickets, eight on second and three on | third. Laborers’ commutation tickets and schoolchildren’s tickets are to es- cape taxation. Tax on Names.

A glance at any Dutch directory brings to light many instances of family names being pre- ceded sometimes by nearly half the alphabet.

Distilled liquors, tobacco of all kinds, beer, salt, sugar and playing cards are all to provide their share toward the increased government out- lay, which, in consequence of the re- cent issue of loans, promises even to augment with the coming years, as the interest amounts to a large sum. AERIAL WARFARE ON THE INCREASE Germans Now Using Many New Types of Armored Acroplanes on Western Front. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, Nov , 11.—German air strategy has changed since last May, Wwhen, for a period of some montlss;, 4 few German aeroplanes appeared near the allieq lines on the western front. But the latest reports from Jo_hn French show that more than 200 air battles have been fought re- cently With the British aviators, by whom sixteen German were brought qown. several new miliar Taube, The new types the Germans have ilm\'" exXperimenting with are modcled «n the battleplane idea. One of these was a big heavily armed biplane with twin bodies and two or engines. But it did not seem to be entirely successful, as it siow and unwieldly. Next to appear were two very similar biplanes of the ordinary tractor type with single but Very powerful engines. The two used to chase up and down the German lines at a terrific speed and with an unusual amount of noise, apparently to frighten away British airmen. Ap- parently they impressed the Germang as useful, as more of the same type made their appearance. Machine gtns fore and aft, the range of the first limited by the propeller and the after gun having a clear field in an upward direction, gave them a cer- tain formidableness as scouts. Several of these were brought down by both British and French, but their num- types, besides the fa- For Your Insurance and Sureiy Bonds Avold trouble by having your Insur. ance written by a man who knows i how.

They keep largely 10 their own lines which seem to be the German plan of air strategy. The German plan is obviously to destroy the greatest number of enemy aeroplanes with a minimum loss to themselves. They do this by en- ticing the foe over their own lines. It is an immense advantage to fight an adversary over one's own lines, as the airmen not only has the support of high angle guns below but can land within his own territory in case cf injury to himself or his machine. SUFFRAGE IN HOLLAND. iments in breeding silk worms in the German climate are as successful as a recent circular promises. Former experiments in silk-worm Dbreeding have failed because it was impossible to acclimatize the mulberry tree. It + has now been discovered that silk- worms thrive on comfrey, a herb abundant in Germany. Moreover, thg worms fed on the new diet produce % stouter, more elastic and more glossy silk than those raised on mulberry. The only doubt in the minds of the government experts is whether the worms will degenerate when imported into Germany. { | i | i Franchise For ‘Women Possible Through Amendment to Constitution. » of The Associated Press.)
