Robbins B. Stoeck- €l commissioner of motor vehicles, has been approached on the matter and promises the chamber to give his hearty co-operation. The plan of the commerce officials is to have 2 definite system made up which will eliminate the old method of hold- [ing out the hand for stopping or when on the point of turning a corner. It appears now that when a driver holds out his hand, there is no definite way i]of ascertaining whether or not he Is to take a turn or stop. .

In addition there will be a junior chautauqua the benefit of which the smaller children will have.” Word has been received from the community chautauqua head- quarters in New York that a play di- rector- will be sent to Berlin during ‘ the four days’ éngagement in this town.

Now that the property in which the Berlin postoffice is situated is for sale, many people are wondering whero the postoffice will next be located. As fAr as is known at wresent, there are no immediate prospects for the sale of the building and the postoffice will remain where it is for the time being. When approached on the wsubject, Postmaster Barrett remained silent, there’ decided | not desiring to start trouble before it was time for it to begin. The postoffice, up to a few years ‘ago had been in the room:.opposite the town clerks office.in the ‘town hall. When Mr. Goodrich was post- master, he -asked that it be moyed into the house in winch he lived.. This was done. It was not moved back to the old site in the town hall as the honor roll in front of the building hid all the light; - From Mr., K Good- (rich’s home it was moved into. the present building where it will prob- ably stay. until the building is- pur- | chased by some person not desiring to have the post office jocated there.

This would then mean that matter would [| come to the “direct attention:of every licensed ‘driver and therefore .contri- ute greatly to the measures QYeing taken towards making motoring safer in Connecticut.

Boliver, proprietor of the Boliver Tire and Repair Shop ' on West Main street, was filling thée gas- oline tank of a Ford car yestérday Afternoon, the driver, smoking a cig- arette, looked into the tank and a spark from the cigarette ignited the lames of the gasoline causing a fire. The rear seat and wheel of the car ;aught fireé but it was quickly put out by Mr. Boliver with "an extinguisher before any serious damage“could fe- sult. The car was near thé large tanks which. would probably have exploded had the flames reached them. A call was sent in for the fire department but as there was not cnough steam in the Bristol Mills. to zive the alarm, the Trumbull Electric plant blew its whistle but the fire was out when the department arrived.

Both these teams are composed of local players and there exists a great deal of rivalry between them. When the first days of the, season openeéd’ up, a ‘preliminary game was ‘held in’ whi¢th the Plainville team showed up in poor form asgainst their smaller opponents. However since that time, the Plainville A. C. has strengthened and the general opinion is that they will give the Aces a pretty stiff trimming. The Aces backers however are just as confident of walloping the big team and are whipping themselves into shape. The management of both teams have con- ferred upon. the matter but have not| reached a definite date. The games, if decided upon, will be the best ever played on local grounds and will draw the attention of every baseball loving fan in the vicinity. It will also settle for the season the long drawn out arguments as to which is the better team. The Aces-are a fast team and are a credit to the town. With the sup- port of many business men, they have reached a point, they strive. to: sat- isfy their attending fans. The Plain- ville A. C., is first place in the Con- necticut Valley League and at the rate it is going, will ‘soon display the trophy of the victors in one of the local stores. Tomorrow afternoon the Plainville A.

Chicago, Aug. 6.—Florenz Ziegfeld Jr, has seen a new light in matters theatrical. He is going to reduce prices and likewise salaries. “‘A big reduction in price of theater tickets is inevitable,’ said Mr. Ziegfeld. ‘‘But that means salary re- ductions. The big salaries are going to dwindle quickly. There must be a reduction of one-third on the salaries of actors, musicians and stage hands, and then the seat prices will be adjusted ac- cordingly. “I am paying seéven people in my production $1,000 a week each. I'll have to keep on doing it as long as my contracts last, but after that no more such outrageous salaries. It seems to me the dramatic shows ought_to be able right now to charge much less than they do. They have only a handful of persons in the oust and few changes of scene, yet they charge as much as the girl and music shows with their heavy expenditure. ‘‘Speaking of girls, the day of the big girl is over, too. It is the small girl with brains and personality who is in demand.”” Mr. Ziegfeld is in Chicago to Vi his parents. the TENNIS RESULTS. Newport, R. 1., Aug. 6.—Watson M. Washburn and R. N.
