Superintendent Says New Ticket Office Here ‘ ‘Will Use “Key Pounders.” ! N.Y, N There is no Tmmediate probability | of the New York, New Haven and ! Hartford railroad dispensing with | train dispatching by telegraph from the New Britain station, according to a statement made by Superintend- ent R. O'Hanley today. Mr. O’'Han- ley was asked as to the probabilities of this, in connection with a rumor that when the new ticket office now nearing completion is put into use telephone dispatching would be used entirely. The new ticket office will be equipped wit} telegraph instruments as well as telephones the same as the old one, Mr. O'Hanley stated. The dispensing of telegraph instru- ments in railroad train dispatching is a growing movement. It will come to New Britain eventually, according to the superintendent, although “not an immediate possibility." Work on remodeling of the tion is progressing to a point where it is nearing completion. Furnaces | are on the way and are expected in | a few days. Steel cages for ticket clerks are being installed today and it 1s expected that they will be oc- | cupied in a short time.

The Legion delegation was the first to arrive here for the Septem- ber convention. They came by train from Cherbourg and found no dem- cnstration of welcome awaiting them here. A few Frenchmen and women who had known the return- ing veterans during the war were at the station and there were rela- tives of some of the French girls who married Americans.

So the old saw about the throwing of stones does| not hold. The Crystal palace, one of the | largest amusement halls in the | world, is famous for its roof with 25 | acres of glass. Two hundred feet above the ground, it contains thou- sands of panes. When palace was | reopened in 1920, $400,000 was spent in reconditioning the roof. Since then workmen have all but lived on the roof, keeping it in condition. Wire nettingis stretched under most of it. During the war the Crystal pal- ace was a favorite target for raid- ing German airplanes. All the glaz- jers were at work on the roof when one such raid was announced. One of the glaziers slid down the railing of a circular staircase so fast he burned out the seat of his trousers and was so dizzy when he reached the bottom that he fell to the ground (unable to move. The building was deslgned by Sir Joseph Paxton and was constructed originally in 1854 largely from ma terials of the hall set up in Hyde Park for the exhibition of 1831, Expects to Leave Cologne for TUnited States Tomorrov.

Aug. 15 (P — This quiet college town in the Berkshires. where for the last seven vears publicists, professors and statesmen from this country and 1broad have assembled at the Insti- tute of Politics for the discussion of world affairs, has witnessed an un- mistakable transformation.

Associate members may attend general con- ferences and the lectures held each morning and night. They are not allowed to join round table sessions | open to experts and the press. Of the regular women members many are college professors, repre- | sentatives of the International Y. W. C.

Among them are | Miss Eloise Ellory of Vassar college Mary Mills Patrick, pres dent emeritus of the Women's col- lege in Constantinople.

Most of the women exercising that privilege {chose the round table on dictator-| ship of which Prof. Henry R. Spen- cer of Ohio State university is leader. Dr. Walter MacLaren, executive of the institute, is at a loss to ex- | plain the change in attendance. He suggested that most of the women | were interested in international af- | fairs.
