PALACE Starting Next Sunday RUDOLPH VALENTINO Gloria Swanson in “BEYOND THE ROCKS” ' will be no intersection at the west end ! Mr. AN serted this morning by Postmaster W. 'spending a few days as the guest of [noon at 3 o'clock daylight time, the town of Berlin will soon have a new street, to be known as Cottage Place. The full particulars of the new street are described in a map which has been flled for record at the of- fice of the town clerk. The street, which will be 50 feet wide and about 50 feet in length, will be built on the Hallock property close to the land owned by George Meisner. It will intersect on Berlin street but will be a so-called ‘pocket road” as there of the street. It is also the plan of Mr. Hallock to have many building lots in the rear of his present property. It is thought that with the water coming to Berlin this fall there will be a building boom in this town within the next few years and at present suitable sites are hard to find on which to build, land owners say. Mr. Hallock was asked this morn- ing when he thought the work would be started on building the new road but he said he had not made definite plans although he was inclined to be- lieve it would be done in the near future. It is pMobable that if the street is built and homes are erect- ed Mr. Hallock will ask the town to accept the street. struck On Turnpike. While attempting tc make repairs to his truck which was struck on the turnpike in this town a few feet from the Meriden town line late last night, Wiilliam Bowles of New Haven was struck by a passing automobile and sustained painful injuries about his| legs and an abrasion over the eye. The automobile which struck | Bowles did not stop and the license number of the car was not secured. Bowles was picked up by Joseph Sar- razin and brought to Meriden, where he was attended by Dr. T. 8 Sklad- zien. He was later removed to the Meriden hospital, where it was said that his condition is not serious. Retwns From Trip. A. F. Wooding of Kensington has returned to his home in this town fol- lowing an extended automobile trip through northern territory. He went by way of the White mountains into | Maine, thence to Canada and made a stop at Quebec. While in Canada, Mr. Wooding took a sail of about 450 miles on the St. Lawrence and Sag- unay rivers. He visited Montreal, lLake Cham- plain, Lake George Schoon and T.ong lakes, the Adirondacks, Helder- burg and Catskill mountains and many other points of interest in the north. Returning by way of Pough- keepsie and Danbury, Mr. Wooding claims that he covered over 2,000/ miles. He reports good weather most of the time. Afraid of Whistle. That motorists on the main turn- pike between Meriden and Hartford are afraid of any whistle which is similar in sound to the ones used by the state police, was proven a few days ago when Hiram Hurlburt, rural | carrier for the Berlin and Kensington postoffices, blew his whistle in front of a house on the turnpike to warn| the occupants that he had a rumer»' ed letter for them. Almost immedi- ately after the blowing of the whis- tle by Mr. Hurlburt traffic on the turnpike, both north and south| bound, came to a halt. One of the autoists who was stop- | ped asked Mr. Hurlburt: i “What did you stop us for?" to which the rural carrier replied, "I did not stop vou." Then the autoist wanted to know what he bhlew the whistie for, and Huriburt told him after, which| the antoist sald “Well, T was arrested once before in Rerlin for not stopping when a whistls was blown and I made sure that 1 stopped this time." When the many autoists found out what the whistle had been blown for they continued on their way. Covers A Large Territory. There are perhaps few people in the town of Berlin who know of the W. Fagan at Kensington that Mr. Hurlburt travels about 25 miles a day covering territory for the post office department, Mr. Hurlburt collects the mail from the Kensington and Berlin post offices | and delivers in the rural sections of | Berlin, Easg Berlin, Kensington and a | part of Be®kley. The remainder of the Beckley territory is covered by | the Rocky Hill carrier. Registrars To Meet. The registrars for the town of Ber- lin will be in session at the town hall lon Berlin street on Tuesday, Septem- ber 5, from 9 o'clock in the morning | until 5 o'clock in the afternoon for the purpose of receiving names of all persons desiring to be made voters. Grange Fair Plans, The committee in charge of the feir which is to be given by the Ber- lin Grange has decided that the event will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 25, 29, 30. The basement of the hall will be used for agricultural exhibits and booths will be placed in the main hall. The fair is one of the first to be held by the Grange in some time and | it is expected that it will prove a! drawing card for out of town people | as well as local residents. There will be an entertainment and dancing each evening, the committee announces, and the proceeds will be used for the |ables the teachers and Principal Or- [those pupils who are expected to at- land eight, of age admitted to the institution. All new scholars must bring their certi- ficate of birth, while pupils from out- of-town schools, must show their transfer or promotion card. This en-| rin L. Judd to properly place them In their respective rooms and save time during the rush of the first day. Expect Large Class The outlook this year for a large enrollment is favorable and Principal Judd expects crowded conditions. He has arranged a plan to accommodate 1 tend and believe the school can take| care of them propete without need-| ing extra rooms or an extra teaching| force Mr. Judd wishes it to he that children becoming five years ot age before November 1, will be ad- mitted to the kindergarten upon raching that age. After that date when all classes have been formed, no new puplls will be admitted unless| transferred from other schools. Notices have been sent to all teachers to report on Tuesday, Sep-| tember 5, the day bfore school starts. | There will be a general conference be- tween the teaching force and Mr. Judd and arrangements will be made for caring for the children on the first day. known School Hours Longer. Because of the extra amount of work which will be done in the school this term, and the acts of the recent| legislature compelling more time to| be given certain subjects in the school curriculum, it has been found neces- sary to lengthen the school hours 15 minutes more each day. | The following is a schedule of | hours as prepared by Principal Judd: | Kindergarten, from 9 a. m. to 11:30| a. m. and from 1:15 p. m. until 3:30 p. m.

Are Blue Laws Here? The announcement in The Herald| recently to the effect that Selectman William Johnson, speaking for the| board of selectmen, had notified C. B. BEastman, manager of the Com-| munity theater, that no Sunday night movies would be allowed, has caused considerable comment in town. On the streets, in business houses, and in| private homes, the matter is being, discussed and from the general trend of conversation picked up at random,| it is evident that there is consider- able opposition on the part of many of the residents, who feel that the| selectmen have over-stepped in at- tempting to dictate such an important matter. The feeling seems to exist that there is no good reason for stopping picture shows on Sunday nights and that the people of the town should referendum in the| matter, Talk of a petition to be cir-| culated has already been mentioned. It is reported that this was done in Southington, with the result that the, direct voice of the people, stated their ballots, was overwhelming!ly favor of the Sunday movies While it is evident that the select. man would not act in the matter without some right authority, it is also 1 t ¢ T h [ 1 i b i v in his daughter, Mrs. Charles Fiske, on !

ROAD STATEMENT New Haven, Aug. 31.—The statement of the New Haven operating management today ted its assertion of previous days]| that additional skilled men had been engaged for its shops with a further| increase in the number working on the first shift today as compared with strike | road | reiter- | | was | charges sell, 84, of Wapping duplicating the experiences of her mother, who, it is said, disappeared in a similar man- ner many years ago but returned aft- er having wandered in a confused state of mind for three weeks in swamps and woods? This is a ques- tion residents are asking each other today. At that time, the mother of Mrs. Bissell was mysteriously missing for three weeks and searching par- ties, numbering between 30 and 40 neighbors, scoured the woods and swamps in the upper section of Wap- ping and Ellington. The woman left tracks and articles of clothing in her path, which led the searchers to be- lleve that she was dead. The inability of the posse to find Mrs. Bissell to this date leads some to think that she is dead, although others, includ- ing local officials, think she may turn up as her mother did Another theory is that Mrs. Bissell is alive and is getting sustenance from berries, apples, vegetables and drink- ing water in the woods and in many gardens in the locality. Constable Johnson states that most of the cloth- ing worn by Mrs. Bissell has been found. The clothing has been iden- tified by Mrs. Robinson, a neighbor, who helped to dress Mrs. Bissell on the morning of her disappearance. It is now 16 days since the aged woman's disappearance and searchin, parties have scoured the vicinity dail but to no avail, save the finding of the clothing and footprints on Sun- day of last week. Tuesday afternoon Constables Johnson, Elmore and Ben- jamin set out and went farther north than other searchers, but, due to | darkness they were forced to give up their hunt. "As the harvesting of to- bacco is now at its height, it is diff- cuit for many of the neighbors and town officials to give very much time to the search of her,” said Constable | Jonnson. WHARTON DENIES HE HEADS STRIKE R. R. Board Member Brands Story to This Effect as Abso- lutely False. Chicago, Aug. 31.—Emphatic de- nial of charges that he is serving not only as a member of the United States Labor Board but also as president of the striking shop crafts organization made today by A. O. Wharton, one of the labor members of the board. Mr. Wharton made the report when informed by a dispatch saying the would be contained in an article in the September 2 issue of a New York magazine quoting an- other member of the federal arbitra- tion body as saying ‘“'the shopmen's strike was engineered from inside the labor board Mr. Wharton was president of the railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor from 1012 to 1020 when he was appointed to the labor board. He said he was re-elected president at the union's convention last April but that his re- election was merely a formal tribute in appreciation of past services. “It was specifically understood,” he said, “that I was not to serve as head of the organization and that 1 was not to do anything that conflicts with my duties as a member of the labor Loard.” | \ | Cuticura Stops Itching And Saves The Hair Shampoos with Cuticura Soap, preceded by light touches of Cuticura Ointment, do much to cleanse the scalp of dandrufl, allay itching and irritation, arrest falling hair and promote a hair-growing condition.
