Bridgeport, Feb. 5—An undersea, cargo-carrying boat, so unique in de- sign that every claim asked by Simon « Lake in his original request to the patent office has ben allowed with- out change, has been patented by the noted submarine designer. This fact, in itself most unusual, is no less unique than the boat itselt which is a submarine with two hulis . —outside and inside—no arament and capable of carrying grains, foodstuffs or other material beneath a blockad- ing fleet and into a beleaguered port. No navy is known today to have such a vessel although it has been suspected that German cargo-carrying undersea boats have been utilized in the present war. ——————————— .LOOK AT CHILD’S TONGUE IF SICK CROSS, FEVERISH Mother!

The plans to ask the finance com- mission for an additional appropria- tion of $6,000 for the project. City Engireer William H. Hall has compiied a list of figures showing the exact cost of making the proposed change. At present there are sixty- eight arc lights in the city. The new system will provide for eighty-three arc lights, confined to the business section entirely. It Is proposed to in- stall these lights from North street to Tranklin Square and for a distance on West Main and Church street. Under the contract the lights would cost $75, whereas the present arc lamps cost $85. The to- tal cost would be $6,225 and an ad- ditional sum of $5,000 for the first in- stallation. Under the new plan it is proposed to use 380 of the 250 candle power in- stead of 320, as now used. The co for the greater number would be $28.- The total cost for these lights would be $10.906. It is proposed to use this type of lights out- side the business section where arcs are now in service. The engineer in his plans figures in changing the num- ber of 8 Ocandle power lights from 694 to 700 making the total cost $12,394.- 84. On the Central Park there would making the with the cost $416. The total cost | $500 rebate would be $30,500 with an | additional $5,000 for installation, in the permanent paving area. The members of the board feel that | with the adoption of a more liberal the much use of 250 candle power lights, outlying districts will receive better service than heretofore. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Merimaids Make Good Showing in Aquatic Sports. On the evening of Feb. 2nd, the girls of the Physical Education de- partment of the Young Women's Christian_ association, gave a swim- ming exhibition before a large and enthusiastic audience. The first to appear on the program | was a group of girls from the Satur- day rhorning junior clas Their rac- ing, jumping and diving was very good, and convinced the spectators that “it pays to begin early.” After them came the older girls, who have been taking lessons during the past term. They showed how to do the breast, side and back strokes the back and the face floats, and fin- ally the more difficult over arm side stroke, and the trudgeon stroke. The audience was particularly interested in the ability shown in ‘rescue work,” where one swimmer swims with another who is supposed to be unable to swim. The swimming done, showed a real ability on the part of the girls to handle themselves in the water, considering the fact that many of whom could not swim a stroke before the term began. Miss E. R. Andrews and Miss Ruth Parker gave an interesting ending to the evening, by a fine exhibition of plain and fancy diving, swimming un- der water and other water feats. The evening was especially interest- ing in that it showed what the girls have accomplished since the pool was opened in October, and gave the classes now being formed an idea of what the work would be like. The swimming classes for the sec- ond term are all filled. Further ap- plications will have to go on the wait- ing list. The gymnasium work for the new term is proving as popular as the first term, many new girls joining the classes now. The beginners' class meets on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock and is able to accommo- date several more girls. The celebration of the national ju- bilee of the Young Women's Chris- tian associations will be especially emphasized in New Britain at the Ves- per services held every Sunday after- noon at 4:30 o’clock. Special pro- grams have been arranged, after which tea will be served and storles told. Tomorrow afternoon the subject will be “Our Heritage.” Mrs. William Bail, our former house and lunch room secretary, will tell the story of how association work started n the United States, and of its rapid growth. Miss E. R. Eastman, one of the ardent workers in the starting of the New Britain Y. W, c. A., will give a short account of our local Y. W. C. A. and what we are ac- complishing in our own city. Miss Eastman will also give a short sketch of the life and work of Miss Grace H. Dodge, who was the first presi- dent of the national board, and who passed away in December, 1914, A short and very interesting account will be glven of the Y. W. C. A. work at the Panama exposition where such wonderful things were occom- plished. The finance committee has its reg- ular monthly meeting Tuesday morn- ing at 10 o’clock—the lunch room committee at 11:30; and the mem- bership committee at 7:30 o’clock of the same day. One of the many interesting affairs taking place at the Y. W. C. A, is the circus on Friday evening, Feb- ruary 11, at 8 o’clock, at which time numerous freaks, and wild animals will appear. “Come, laugh and grow fat” is a very sujtable slogan for those who are uncertain about com- ing. The proceeds will be used toward paying for the new ladder in the swimming pool. The Busy Bee club will meet Mon- day evening to continue the series of lessons in cooking and table set- contempt. ting. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1916. p . if ! i | i iy lld il LLess Than a Dollar Per C MR. JOHN N. TAYLOR, Reo distributor at Columbia, Missouri, recently told an assemblage of Reo dealers that it had cost him less than fifty-six dollars to giveserv- ice to fifty-six Reo buyers in one year. AND HE SAID the service was such—the satisfaction of those fifty-six Reo customers was such—he has ordered, and confidently expects to sell, just twice fifty-six Reos in his small territory the coming year. SO YOU SEE he must have done all that the most exacting of those fifty-six Reo buyers could ask. BUT YOU ARE NOT a dealer, you say. And so, how can dealers’ figures interest you? Tell you:— THE KIND OF A CAR that dealers most like to sell is the kind to buy—if you are looking for low maintenance cost and all- the-year-round service. ar Per Year! “50 PER CENT OVERSIZE” in all vital parts—the Reo factor of safety—is one of thereasons. The others are Reo quality in every ounce of material and Reo accu- racy in the making of every part. REO GOOD INTENT — all there is of Reo integrity—goes to you with your Reo. WE ARE NO JOHN N. TAYLOR — but we are just as enthusiastic about Reo cars as he is—and we can show you some other things about Reo construction that will impress you profoundly. DEMAND IS TREMENDOUS — Factory thousands behind orders. So the only way is to order now and get a definite delivery date. THERE ISN'T A MOMENT TO lose in getting your order into our hands if you’d have your Reo when you’ll want it for early delivery. E. C. DENISON, (Garage) 430 MAIN STREE New Britain Hutchings.
