The lines affected by the mew system are those between New London and Willi- mantic and Norwich and West Thomp- son. The new system of collecting fares is the result of careful study, covering a period of some months, on the part of the trolley officials, who believe that the new system is a much fairer one to the trolley patrons in general than the old system. The principal advantage of the copper zone system is_its near approach to the passenger mile as the is of the fare charged and the retention of the nickel as the unit of fare. It is believed by the trolley officials that the principle in- volved in the change of rates on the New London division is correct, al- though it is possible that it may be nec ¢ to make slight changes in the location of fare terminals in order to be absolutely just to all the patrons of the road. A continual advance in the cost of operating trolley lines each vear has resulted in operating expenses entire- 1y out of proportion to the gross earn- ings, and therefore the margin is not Rates Remain Unchanged. under_the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Rev. Mr. Ricketts spoke on the Char- acter of Washington and among some of the things he said were: Washington looms up before us as the highest peak in a remarkable mountain range; the farther we re- cede from it the more clear cut and individual does it apear. For a raw age the eighteenth century in America produced a wonderful percentage of men who are destined to live and by common consent the name of Wash- ington heads the list. This can safely be sald without making any unjust discriminations and comparisons. We would hardly expect that the England of his day, stung by the bit- terness of defeat, could look at him except through the eyes of prejudice. Yet early, early in his career, Lord Brougham, the greatest living parlia- mentary orator called him “the great- est man of our own or any age.” In these remarks no attempt is made to follow his military career be- fore or during the Revolutionary war, but rather to present an estimate of {his character. He stands before the world as a person of the highest man- Iy qualitics and of rare integrity of spirit. He §s one of the four out- standing gehlerals of the 1Sth centu; | Peter the Great was the earliest of the four. He was a man of vast capacity of roush and sometimes ill- directed enerzy who brousht a titanic | political frame out of savasry into ation. le was a marvel of eccentric, half made im- an_iron will upon an apathetic We call him the “Great” but large enough to provide reasonable re- turns on the investments. Many of the roads throughout the New England states have increased their earnings by making a change from the five to the six cent zone &ys- tem. Realizing the need of added in- come, the Shore Line Electric com- pany has made a careful study of the six cent zone and came to the con- clusion that the six cent rate only emphasized the faults of the fixed unit of fare and decided to adopt what is known as the short or copper zone system. The short zone system oper- ates very nearly like the mileage sys- tem, which is the recognized basis of fare rates on steam roads, and in some instances on trolley, roads in the west. A detailed description of the new trolley rates was announced through The Bulletin recently. Under the new system the enger will pay for his transportation in_one payment and will receive an identification check or receipt. As far as the city service is concerned, there will be no change, as 2 nickel entitles a passenger to ride from Franklin square to Yantic, from Franklin square to Taftville, and the entire length of the West Side, Laurel Hill or Boswell avenue lines, and to transfer from one of these lincs to the other and as far north on the Taftville line as the Catholic cemetery and on the Yantic line as far as Avery Bros.

Buster Elionsky, the well known long distance swimmer, and Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, were recently attacked by sand sharks while in bathing at Palm Beach, Fla. Both swam to shore and escaped any injury. Elionsky and Ritchie, some distance swimmer, were out for a spin and were about three miles from shore when Elionsky saw the sharks coming toward him. He turned about, shouting a warning to Ritchie, and started at top speed for the shore. Both swimmers reached shore tired and out of breath. Elionsky said sand sharks will not bite, unless the body is prone, but he thought shore the safer place. Ritchie ana Elionsky have become fast friends while at Palm Beach.

Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro~ ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No dif- ference how dull, faded, brittie and scraggy, just moisten a' cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one emall strand at a time. The effect is amaz- ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toi let counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by care- less treatment—that's all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine.

Abigail Moore, the noted beauty au- thority, says: “The hair is a register of the physical condition. Cleanliness and massage, as well as careful comb- ing and brushing are most important. Many women do not realize the necessity of keeping the hair and scal; absolutely clean in order to 100k thelr best at all times. And yet, with only a few minutes of tonic massage, the hair may be brought to a beautiful, | thick, lustrous luxuriance, and that at very little cost. Just try these few simple directions today: Into the palm of the hand pour a little Parisian Sage, a rigidly guar- anteed, inexpensive and most bene- ficial preparation to be had at any drug store; -thoroughly wet the hair near the scalp with it and then rub vigorously until a soft tingling sensa- tion comes stealing over the head. Do this regularly for a few days and oc- casionally wet your brush with the tonic and gently brush out the hair— you will surely be surprised and de- lighted with the results. The genuine Parisizn Sage is ob- tainable from Lee & Osgood Co., who always sell it with an absolute guar- antee of perfect satisfaction to the user or the money paid will be re- turned. Shoes and Rubbers will be sold at bargain prices Friday and Saturday. LOUIS NORVICK, 233 Central Avenue i Lewis S. Paddock. a large attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Lewis S.
