- SAYS HE WAS PROMISED " CARFARE WHEN APPOINTED Electrical Inspector Claims Other In- spectors Get Allowance For Automobile Use. Although the bill for $8.65 for car- fare, submitted by Electrical Inspec- #or C. J. Curtin was one of three held up by the committee on supplies and printing at a meeting last eve- ning. Mr. Curtin says he was in- structed by the building commission to turn in bills for all money expend- ed for carfare, and these bills, cov- eéring two months were approved by the commission, before being pre- sented. The building and plumbing inspectors get an allowance on their salaries to cover the cost of operating their own cars, according to informa- tion received by Mr. Curtin and he was instructed when engaged to charge up his own carfare. Another bill of $4.560, which is not included in the one now being held up, has been submitted by Mr. Cur- tin for the: month of July. A bill for 100,600 feet of gas used in the municipal comfort station was held up when objected to by Coun- cllman L. M. Stanley because it provides for more gas used thmn was vsed in the entire city hall during the month., It is probable that this may be explained by the fact that the comfort station is heated by gas. A bill for $50 received from R. J. Dixon .was objected to on the grounds that Mr. Dixon being a member of the building commission is barred by ordinance from doing any building work for the city. The bill is for the construction of a cabinet and gate in the building commission office at City hall. GETS SCHOLARSHIP John M.

Carmel, Conn., Aug. 7.—Grow- ers of market crops from many parts of the state gathered at the Connec- ticut Agricultural Experiment station here today for a field day, and to in- spect experiments.

Above-Board Circulation PROGRESSIVE publications belonging to the of Circulations have adopted an open and Audit Bureau “Above-Board” circulation policy. They lay before advertisers circulation facts that have been verified by experienced auditors. Advertisers, before the advent of the A. B. C. were forced to depend upon hearsay circulation information and unverified “sworn statements” of circulation. No detailed figures were available and no verification was possible except at great expense to the advertiser. Nowadays advertisers look to the A. B. C. for dependable, un- biased circulation information and select their advertising medi- ums accordingly. Today 91% of the circulation of papers having over five thousand circulation is audited by the A. B. C. It should not be long before every newspaper goes on record with A. B. C. membership. This will make it possible for every advertiser to use detailed circulation facts, covering the entire newspaper field. This will permit a fair comparison and eliminate guesswork from the pur- chase of space. The HERALD is a member of the A. B. C. and would be pleased to submit a copy of the latest circulation report.

BUDDISTS PLAN DRIVE FOR WHITE CONVERTS New Society Will Seek to Enroll Eng. lish Speaking People of . Hawail Into Faith Honolulu, Aug. 7.—An active drive for converts to Buddhism among the English speaking people of the Ha- waiian territory is forecast as the re- sult of action taken by Buddhist lead- ers in deciding to organize a Buddhist evangelican association in Hawaii with headquarters here. The principal aim of the society will be to spread the teaching of the sect in English, and present plans call for the training of English speaking priests of Buddha, the publication of canonical books in English and the circulation of other publications in English regarding Buddhism., Two men, graduates of a local high school or a Buddhist university in Ja- pan, will be invited to study for five years in a mainland university, on the understanding that they are to preach Buddhism in Hawaii on the conclusion of their studies. The society is an outgrowth of the efforts of Archbishop M. T. Kirby of the Hongwanji mission here, an Eng- lishman converted to Buddhism in Japan, who has been in charge of churches here for some time.

EGYPTIAN BRIDES GOST FOUR DOLLARS EACH Lord of the House Contracts to Seventcen Dollars If He Gives Wife the Gate. London, Aug. 7.—Professor F. Flin- ders Petrie, the eminent Egyptologist who was recently knighted by King George, gives some interesting infor- mation rgarding the private life of the ancient Egyptians. The earliest marriage contract known in Egypt, he | says, dates from 500 B. C. The terms of the pact, as drawn up by the hus- nd, were as follows: “Since God willeth that we should unite one with the other in righteous wedlock, after the manner of every free man and every wise woman, therefore. I have given thee four dol- lars in gold as a bridal gift, that thou mayest come and enter my house as | a free woman. And for my part I will not neglect thee more than as it were my own body. Neither shall I be able to put thee forth without a cause, having legal ground. But should T wish to put thee forth, I will pay 17 dollars for the matter.” Inguiry Into Death of Two Recent Immigrants Stamford, Aug. 7.—An inquiry will bhe held tomorrow by Deputy Coroner Stevenson of Bridgeport and E.
