BERLIN NEWS T0 HOLD HEARING ON JITNEY ROUTE Public Utilities Commission at Meriden Tomorrow Little Tots, Greatly Improved .in Health, Back in New York After Visit to Country—Many on Vaca- tions—Berlin Bits. First Selectman George B. Carter, has received word from the public utilities commission that a hearing on the proposed jitney route . through Kensington from New Britain to Meriden, will be held tomorfow morn- ing at 10 e&’clock standard time in the common council chamber at the Town Hall in Meriden. Representa- lives from the cities of New Britain and Merjden will be present and it is expected that some person will go s a representative of Berlin, al- ihough Mr. Carter will be unable to attend. Mr. Carter states, however, that if no one from this town is able to at- tend werd will be sent to the gather- ing that Berlin is in favor of the inove. ~All town officials have ap- »DProved of such a route and hope that it will soon be a reality. The route of the jitney as stated if the plans is from New Britain to Meriden, be- ginning at Main street in New Brit- ain, southerly en Arch street again on Kensington avenue in that city through Kensington past the Amer- ican Paper Goods company plant, Kensington center down the old “cat hole” road into Capital avenue in Meriden, €ast on West Main street, across the railroad tracks then first ftreet to the right and stop at Pit- kins street near the plant of the Meriden Morning Record. The re- turn " will be over the same route. There is no doubt in the minds of the local people but what the pro- posed jitney line by Edward B. French of New Britain will be a huge success. In ordér for the trol- ley to reach Berlin street it-is im- possible for such to run near the American Paper Goods company and as arrangements are at present it is a long walk from the trolley in Kensington te the American Paper Goods company. It is believed that if the jitney line is adopted many liv- ing in.the vicinity of the Paper Goods will patronize the jitney rather than the trolley,.as it will bring them nearer to their homes. How often the jitmeys will run on thia route is mot known, but if they ara run on a half-hour or an hourly schedule, they will satisfy tha major- ity of people. - The cat-hole road is Frids seivediiy ity Wown -aud will be in good ‘eondition for jitneys. "If the proposition is favored by the Pub- ¥~ Utilities commission it is probable % the jitneys will be running early v fall Wth the coming of the jitneys, it is possible that the proposed trolley which was to have run along a simi- lar route will be abandoned. Mr. French has been given permission by the trolley company tc usa that cor- poration’s franchise on this road for a year. He will be given the privi- lege of purchasing tne franchise at the end of the year, providing the 2~~ice Bc renders is satisfactory. ~ £ Yerk Tots Leave. i A @ cuwie c* ~ G ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED of the New York children, brousht here on Wednesday, August 3, for a two weeks stay, left Berlin thia af- ternoon on the 3 o'clock train for their homes in the big city.

Stork Is Busy. The following birth certificates have been filed at the town clerk’s office: Daughter, Ruth Ingeborg, to Mr. and Mrs. Emil Bengston of Kensington. A daughter, Florence Elizabeth to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Simpkins of Kensington. A son, Clifford Allan, to Mr. and Mrs. George Beeman of Berlin. A daughter, Esther Josephine, to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dean of Berlin, at the New Britain General hospital Guarantors Meeting. All guarantors of the community chautauqua which is to play in Berlin for four days the latter part of the month, are asked to be present at the special meeting to be held in the ‘Worthington community house this evening. Final arrangements will be made at this time for the selling of tickets. Arthur L. Woodruff of Berlin, Claude Stevens of Kensington and Arthur Benson of East Berlin will complete committees to aid them in their drive for the sale of such. Although the tickets for the Chau- tauqua which opens in New Britain today have not sold as well as the commiitee expected in that city, all indications are that the local chautau- qua will have good houses at each performance. An effort will be made by the ticket committee to sell the required quota. In order to make the chautauqua a paying propesition, it will be necessary to sell 150 tickets in Kensington, one hundred in Berlin and 50 in East Berlin. It is hoped that the above number of tickets will be sold. Reports of the ground committee and the publicity committee will be heard at the meeting this evening. The time is drawing near for tHe presentation of the chautauqua and all interested are asked to attend this meeting tonight. Kensington Notes.

Po- roscopy is the seience of measuring the pores of the body. Graphometry is the science of form and relative proportion of letters in handwriting. Dr. Edmond Locard, head of the Lyons police laboratory of identifica- tion, has elaborated these new meth- ods of crime detection to a point where the results have been accepted in the Lyons courts and are said to have been proved cficctive. In poros¢opy, Dr. Locard holds the number, form and position of bedy pores remain the same throughout jife. The impression ‘of the pores, in Dr. Locard’s system is colored by chemicul vapers or very fine powders so they may be photographed under a microscope. Dr. Locard tells of several success- ful prosecutions supported by his new sciences. In one case a burglar wore gloves but left an smpression of a small surface of forearm. That trace convicted him. Arotner burglar, per- spiring freely, left the impression of pore surfaces through his gloves and went to jail. Graphométry, as termed by Dr. Lo- ¢ard, consists primarily in the theory that handwriting shows always a cer- tain relation in sizc between letters and unmistakable characterictics in form, particularly of toeps. In addi- tion to these principles, Dr. Locard, of course, utilizes generally acepted methods of dgfecting forgeries. bl PLAINVILLE NEWS FAMILY FEUD OF 75 YEARS FOUGHT 0UT Started in Turkey, Ended in Plainyille GIVEN FINES IN COURT —_—— Schoolhouse Improvements Being Contemplated—Automobile Drivers Held for Hearing in Court Friday Night—Other Items of Interest. A family feud which is alleged to have started in Turkey about 75 years ago, came to a climax in the Plainville town court yesterday aft- ernoon when Mrs. Ifgooki Gabaka- kian, of Mountain View, was fined $5 and . costs for using abusive language and on breach of the peace. Her complainant was Mrs. Ida Capilian Bogosian, also of that place. Jus- tice Edward P. Prior and Grand Juror Willlam J. Fogan heard the case. Justice Prior gave the ac- cused a warning that if she appeared again in court for threatening and molesting her neighbors, deportation would follow. The argument is sald to have start- ed in Turkey among the families some 75 years ago and the children have evidently inherited the bitter family instincts of “get your man.” It had probably been handed down during the past generations and when the opposing families found they were neighbors on this side of the water, the battle started all over again. Mrs. Gabakakian is alleged to have molest- ed her neighbor and called her ‘vile names. The other neighbors spoke well of Mrs. Bogosian and said she was a home woman and never at- tempted to carry on the warfare Lut kept still. She grew tired of the con- stant feud, however, and sought set- tlement in the court. Constable John Conlon had been called to the scene on several occasions and it was time for a show down. With the waring of deportation inging in her ears, Mrs. Gabakakian vill probably mend her ways and not ffend her neighbors. Autoists Held. Luigi D’Antonio, proprietor of the {tallan-American Grocery store on Whiting street, and L. Weinberg, of 3pringfield, driver for the Bright- wood Dressed Beef company of that placé, will appear in the local court Triday night of this week. They will oe given a hearing before Justice Zdward P. Prior and Grand Juror Willlam P. Prior as the result of an automobile accident which happened 'n front of the Central garage yes- terday morning. The Springfield driver, with his as- sisant, Robert Flescher, asserted their willingness to appear in’ court and clear themselves of the blame of the accident as they claim they had he right of way when it happened. D’Antonio was in the act of turning his Ford truck in the road when the crash came. Witness claims that he was on the wrong side of the road when turning. A heated argument started and a large crowd gathered. The driver of the Springfield truck was willing to pay for the damage to the Ford as he realized the party was to blame but was agreeing to help settle the matter. D’Antonio, however, refused and started a fuss. Constable John Con- lon was called and examined the li- censes of bothdrivers. Several people at the scene claim to have seen some- one place the license of the local store owner under the cushions of the seat after having gone to the store for it. However, it was there and no charge could be brought on this account. Apparently all wit- nesses favored the driver of the Brightwood truck and assert that the other was the fault of the accident. The Ford suffered considerable damage and was taken to a garage for repairs. The Springfield truck was able to proceed on its way. School Improvements. A. W. Stewart of West Main street, having been awarded the contract for re-painting the schoolhouse, is about to complete the work. The refinish- ing makes a great improvement on the building and when school opens the Wednesday after Labor Day, a decided better place will be seen. The work of installing the stand- pipes in the interior of the old build- ing for fire protection, has been com- pleted. The school board is arrang- ing for suitable hose connections to be used for the pipers. There will be one length of hose on each floor which will be capable of reaching the farthest room on that floor. This new improvement is one of the best the board has made and will prove a greater protection in case of fire. The building, however, is considered safe and no fears from this end is enter- tained. However, the safety of plac- ing the hose and pipes inside was voted upon with favor. There is no difficulty expected this term of finding accommodations for the pupils as there had been last year. With several of them about to commence their studies at the Junior High school in New Britain, and many of them to leave for oc- cupation, room for all to enroll is certain. Last year the situation was exceedingly doubtful for some time but with proper management on the part of the school board and princi- pal, accommodations were found and a portable building for the Kkinder- garten was erected.

THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children: is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies; for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any! injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been! for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of. or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria.

From the inception of Fletcher’s Castoria, Truth has been the watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in the preparation of Fletcher’s Castoria as well as in its advertising is due the secret of its popular demand. v All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations lack the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack all semm bladfce even in the words of those who would deceive. And you! Mothers, mothers with the fate of the World in your hands, can you be deceived? Certainly not. . Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children. It is distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. The BABY’S need for a med- icine to take the place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrups was the sole thought that led to its discovery.
