Team—Umpires Real Heroes of ; Game—Stone Work for Tablet Ready to Be Placed. At a meeting of the school board held last night it was voted that here- after Miss Elizabeth Brown, secre- tary of the board, shall be the mem- ber of the board who shall give out the news to the press and thus to the public of Berlin. It has been found in the past that members of the board have given out statements to the press and have later claimed that they were misquoted or misunderstood. The news which will be given out through Miss Brown will pertain to discussions which have to do with school matters and business which the public should know. At the meeting last night the fol- lowing recommendations were made and ‘voted upon, and passed: (1) That no child under & years of age will be allowed to enter the schools. (2) Any child who has reached the age of 6 years shall be eligible to enter the school at the beginning of a new term, September, January and April. At the present time plans are being made to fill the vacancies which ex- lst in the teaching force, and it is ex- pected that within the next two weeks matters will be well in hand for the opening of school. It is not expected that any charges will be made in the school calendar, although this has not been determined, It is understood that there are to be no drastic changes in the policy or plans for the school work. Ball Game? One of the largest crowds that has attenhded a baseball game in the town of Berlin saw Manager Leslie War- ner's “All Btars” defeat the regular Berlin Construction team, a member of the City league of New Britain, 7-4, at Carbo’s field last night. The regular team which has found the going in the City league rather Have You Piles? Then You Have Something to Learn Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with internal medicine, Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with oint- ment. and suppositories will remove the cause.

Manager Warner sprung a surprise in the person of Jurry, a former big league pitcher, who at one time had a try out with the Boston Americans. ‘When Jurry once settled down to his task he threw them past the regu- lars with the speed of a bullet. He averaged two strike outs every in- ning. Hoffman pitched for the regu- lars and when he was taken out the score stood 4 all. Hughes then took up the work &and was pounded for 3 runs which put the,game on ice. The high spots of the game was the amount of . abuse the umpires ab- sorbed without wilting. ~Their jobs were anything but a bed of roses and their courage will never be doubted after the masterly manner in which they stood up before the gaff hurled at them. Umpire Joe Ireton borrowed a pair of smoked glasses from Elmer Austin and great improvement was noted in his work after this acquisition, Silent Walter “Pop” Graham, um- pire on bases, who appeared anchored to one position acquitted himself in a noble manner. He gavera decisiop which the crowd did not like and rushed on the field after him. . He was escorted to his home by Con-! stable Hackett. After the game the All Stars were the guests of Manager Warner at a dinner in Hartford. A challenge was hurled at the All Stars this morning by William Mc- Carroll for a game to be played for $100 and the town hall.

STRAUS, President, American Society for Thrift "THE large wastes are readily" discovered, but it is the small ones that in the aggregate amount to much more than a few large ones and cauge the most concern.” Thus an ex- ecutive of an important American rail- way system recently epi- tomized the urgent need of thrift practice among rail- road employ- s. W. STRAUS .. mo esti- mated that the waste in little things on the railroad with which he was connected amounted to $7,- 000,000 annually. This did not ih- clude any outstanding instances of efficiency. Some of the annual items of needless waste pointed out by him were as follows: coal, $1,000,000; supplies, $300,000; stationery, $50,- 000; crossties, $100,000; locomotive repairs, $500,000. Analysis of his statement re- veals that about 7 per cent of his company’s operating expenses last year represented waste due to lack of thrift by employees. Inasmuch as the system with which he is con- nected represents about 3 per cent of the gross railway mileage of the United States, and as conditions on the road referred to were prob-' ably a fair average of conditions on all lines, it is safe to set down the sum of $230,000,000 a year as the direct result of lack of thrift by employees. One of the great economic prob- lems of the present day pertains to transportation. In the item of needless expense referred to here- with, the cu can only come through the education of the em- iployees. No efficiency system can safeguard agalnst such wasie, The business imen of America {should learn that a very small per- centage of the amount of money ‘'wasted by thriftless employees would, if spent in correct thrift education, bring amazingly bene- ficial results Pinvill News PLAINVILLE FISCAL YEAR ENDS TODAY Purchase of Hadsell ‘Lot For Cemetery Use Last Official Act AT FIREMEN'S CONVENTION Tell of Confercnce at Fast Northfield, Mass.—Painting Center Flag Pole Today—Announcements of Birth— Plainville Briefs, 1 Today, Plainville passes another | vear officially and all business of the town wil be closed out today in prep- aration for the next fiscal year which starts tomorrow, First Selectman William J. Johnson stated thi ing that the year has been suc and eventful in as much as there have been more changes made within the past year than In several years gone by. Old landmarks have dis- appeared and modern buildings have been ‘®rected in their places and the entire town has undergone percep- tible changes. A statement on the condition of the town's finances and other matters will be given out by the selectmen within a few days, it was stated this morning. Last Official Act The last official act of the board of selectmen for the fiscal year, was the purchase of the Hadsell lot on LU'nionville avenue adjoining the ceme- tery. The purchase price as an- nounced by First Selectman Johnson was $1,060 and the deal was com- pleted yesterday afternoon. 7S tract comprises about 16 acres and it is the intention of the town fathers to turn the plot over for the uses of a cemetery. The present burial ground is pretty well taken up and the ac- quisition of the Hadsell land will r,ake it unnecessary purchasing land for many years to come. Negotiations between the officials of Plainville and the late Colonel G. Arthur Hadsell had been in’ progress for a long time but the deal was never completed because the colonel did not wish to sell. Condemnation rroceedings were instituted and prep- wrations were made to acquire the and through a court decision. The untimely death of the colonel, how- ever, left his widow with the han- 1ling of his affairs and she, instead of waiting for lengthy court proceed- ings, decided to sell. The board of selectmen thereupon decided to put the purchase through immediately. The mgoney had been appropriated at « town meeting early in the year. Tell of Conference East Northfield, Mass., is becoming one of the most desirable vacation centers of late years and this year a large number of Plainville people spent their annual vacations there, at- tending the conference of Christian churches. Situated at the junction of the slates of Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire; commanding a won- derful view of the White and Green Mountains, with the beautiful Conn- ecticut river winding its way grace- fully through the valley and the frag- rant pine trees, all tend to make it an'ideal spot for lovers of out-of- doors. The meetings of the conferencc which are held on the seminary cam- pus, are an inspiration to all who at- tend, according to those from Plain- ville who attended. The seminary was founded in 1879 by Dwight L. Moody and it has become known throughout the nation because it has been selected as the meeting place of one of the largest and best known Christian conferences in the country. Some of the most noted speakers from all parts of the world attend these gatherin each year and the singing under the direction of Homer Hammontree of Chicago, by the Lo- tus Male quartet of Boston, the vast congrogation among which gre many trained and cultured singers accom- panied by a magnificent pipe organ and a grand piano, is in itself a factor inspiring beyond words, Besides the meelings, there arc rm' ny recreations to be enjoved among which are bathing in the Connecticut river, croquet, golf, monntain climb- ing and auto trips. One is here able to enjoy camping out and still have easy access to all the conveniences and services of the huge cafeteria pearby. Among - the Plainville people attended the conference this year are Mr. and Mrs. FErnest Farrar and daughters, Virginia, Hope and Lois; Miss Bertha Steward, Mrs. Julie Hur- tado and daughter, Belaine; Rev. and Mrs. G. Ward; Miss Anna J. Gran- iss, Irving Bronson, Miss Rena Bun- nell, Miss Barbara Farrar, Miss Ger- trude McGibbon, C. M. Anderson, Har- old Anderson and the Misses Helen and Grace Anderson All report that the attendance and interest in the meetings was larger than ever beforc. The auditorium which has a seating capacity of over 3.000 was usually filled and services were held in the Sage chapel at thg same time. Painting Center Fagvole.

To Play Postponed Game, The Plainville town team will play the postponed game with the Amer- ican Legion team of Thomaston in Thomaston next Sunday afternoon, according to an announcement by Manager Roy French this morning. The game last Sunday was cancelled by the Thomaston management be- cause of threatening weather. On Sunday, August 26, the Plainville team will play the third game of a series with the Milldale team. Both aggregations have a win to their credit, and the third game should prove fast from the start. Practice will be held this week in preparation for Sunday's game and all players are requested to report in the center at 1:30 o'clock Sunday. The Jocals haven't suffered a defeat for the past few months and they are out to win Sunday’s game. Attending Convention, Fire Chief E. P.

Smith at Shaker Farm, Shaker Station, Conn., on August 25, promises to be one of the best affairs of its kind ever held.
