NEW AUTOMATIC TELEPHONES TO BE INSTALLED IN STATE Automatic telephones will be installed throughout the state in the future by the Southern New England Telephone Co., wherever it is necessary to change the present equipment or install an un- usual number of new machines. By the use of the new invention it will be possible for the subscriber to get di- rect connection with the party wanted without the aid of central, and much time and many cuss words will be saved by users of the telephone system. The new mechanism is known as the “machine switching system” and con- sists of the ordinary telephone instru- ent to which a calling attachment known as the dial ¥ill be mounted an the base of the desk st The dial has ten finger holes bearing numerals 1 to 9 and also O and the word “Operator” in the tenth hole. The holes will also have letters to indicate the different centrals. In making a call subscriber first pushes the button with the name of the central he wants, then the numbers in their order, and the line is immediately connected up. This new system is now being installed in Hartford, where a 5,000 board with the new apparatus is being added to the present equipment. In Bridgeport the equipment is prac- tically new and will probably- last for another five years. Whzn it is necessary to renew the equipment for any reason the new system will be used. The company is having its’own trou- bles at the present time in getting any kind of instruments to give to new sub- The strike in the American s Co. works has completely shut off the supply of the very fine wire used in the coils of the instruments and people who would like to have telephones are obliged to wait until the company can get equipment.

Mr. Byrnes told of the process by which aluminum is made. First a clay known as bauxite, a triple hydrate of aluminum, found near Merryville, Ténn., is taken and mixed with caustic soda and live steam passed through it. This results a filtrate known as sodium aluminum. . This sodium is then mixed with carbon dioxide and the result is' AL203 or aluminum oxide This product is shipped to various points in the country where there is extensive water power. The aluminum oxide is then mixed with cryolite and placed in steel vats and an electric current passed through it. It is then reduced to a molten mass and run out into ingots of aluminum. ; The ingots of aluminum are shipped to other points where there are roll- ing mills and the aluminum rolled into sheets such as used by automobile manufacturers for car bodies. The aluminum is also made in aluminum cable with a steel core making a much better and less expensive cable than the old fashioned copper cable. Cook- ing utensils, engine bases, gear hous- ings and other things are made of aluminum. An aluminum powder known as am- monal, one of the highest explosives known is made by this concern. The British used this powder in their H. E. shells and still have a large sup- ply on hand now that they are trying to sell back to the company. This powder is used in steel making. It is used as a deoxidizer, eliminating the air holes that frequently occur in steel. This company 1s producing about 75 per cent. of the world’s aluminum today and has plants in this country, The government some time ago thought Europe, South America and Japan. that the concern had a monopoly on the aluminum and cut off their Tenne- a see supply forcing the company to seek clay or bauxite in South America. Mr. Byrjles spoke of the sales school Wwhich the ‘company conducts just outside Pittsburgh. He said that college grad- uates Who wished to go into the alumi- num game, could receive a nine months’ course at -this school. While they are non-producers during this- period the company pays them $100 per month and charges them about $30 per month board. Mr. Byrnes urged any one who has a boy graduating from college to send in his name for appointment. Following Mr. Byrnes' talk he was given a rising vote of thanks. The meet- ing at which about 36, including seven guests were present was presided over by Joseph C. Worth, president. During the meeuing A. Craig Taylor, a guest of the club, sang Mother Machree and When You and I Were Young, Maggie. Both selections were rendered in fine voice by Mr. Taylor and he was warmly applaud- ed. The last named song was written in Nerwich by a man by the name of Butterfield and has smnce Leen sung all over the world. . A vote of thanks was also given Al Craig for his solos. Henry LaFontaine rendered a solo that was greatly appre- ciated by the club. President Worth as a penalty sang a catchy song to the tune of John Brown. The club is to learn this song at the next meeting. Mayor Herbert M. Lerou spoke briefly to the meeting saying that at the Aug- ust meeting of the council new traffic reg- ulations were to be acted upon. This ac- tion of the council was proposed at a previous meeting of the Rotarians. Alfred Lillibridge was appointed a member of the welfare committee to suec- ceed Rev. W. A. Keefe who has become an honorary member. The matter of providing transportation for the fresh air children to the band concert at Mo- hegan park on' Sunday was taken up and it was voted for the club to provide funds for the hiring of two jitney buses to take the children to and- from the park. The boys’ work committee, Hugh B. Camp- bell, Richard Tarrant and Charles R. Butts, was instructed to have charge of this branch of the work. The meeting adjourned with the sing- ng of The Star Spangled Banner. FATHER NEGLECTS CHILDREN; HUMANE SOCIETY ACTS Wednesday afternoon Harry Fish, re- siding near the drawbridge, in the town of Preston, was brought before Justice of the Peace V. P. A. Quinn by the Con-| necticut Humane society: The charges against Fish were neglecting his family.

Many of the farmers are already doing their haying and the total tonnage out this vear will far exceed that of previous seasons. ‘Won John Addison Porter Prize. The late John Addison Porter was a summer resident of Pomfret, where his widow and daughter frequently visit. Consequently there is eastern Connecticut interest in the fact that Miss Nicolson, daughter of C. B.

This is the first time the Por- ter prize has been won hv-a woman. The degree of Ph. D. was ¢ B ferred on her.

Geissler, the chauffeur who shot and led Mrs. Ar- thur E. De Cordova of New York in Stonington on Monday and then commit- | ted suicide, was claimed late Wednesday by his wife, Mrs. Anita Gaissler, of New York, who called at an undertaker's es- tablishment where the body has been held. - The body was sent to New York Wednesday night by train. Had Presentment of Husband’s Death. When first informed of the shooti Mrs. Geissler is reported to have displa’;’g- ed considerable emotion. After being calmed, somewhat, however, she said that she had expected something of the sort to happen, and that she had had a pre- sentiment that her husband's death was near. She is 29 years of age and married Geissler in February, 1917, after a very SpeeGy courtship, and stated that her husband had been in the employ of the De Cordova’s for five years, and had spent the summers with .the family at the Hotel Griswold at Eastern Point. She said that she had noticed a change in her husband when he came home last Labor Day and told of his staying out late af nights, and spending all of his money. When she remonstrated with him he threatened her with bodily injury. tOnce. on June 5, last, she said that he struck her and knocked her down. Two days after that he left her and she heard no more from him until June, 28. When he called her on the telephone and told her that he was going to New Lon- don with the De Cordova family. Since that time she had heard nothing from him except a short note and a check for $12.50 which she received last Sunday. It developed that on June 10 last, she had her husband brought before Magis- trate Koenig in the domestic relations court in New York citv. seeking an al- lowance pending trial of a suit for sep- aration on the ground of cruelty, and a weekly allowance of $12.50 had been granted to her. It was a check for tals amount that .she received from Geissler last Sunday.- It also has been developed that an effort on the part of the co reconcile the counle failed. Mrs. Ge was willing but her husband refused, saying “I can't tell you why, but I can- not live with her.” Mrs. De Cordova was formerly Flor- ence Mabel Williams, daughter of Alfred Wililams, retired wholesale glov: dealer of Germantown, Pa. Benjamin H. Hewitt, prosecu-inz at- torney of ‘the town of Stonington, had harbored the theory that the murder was committed by some third party, wha hav- ing_some good motive for shootinz Mrs. DeCordova followed the Mercer car to the lonely part of the North road, and ile she and her chauffeur were talk- ing and laughing, had shot them both. Last night, after spending the entire day in investigating the affair, he stated that he was convinced that the affairs was as stated in the coroner's verdict—‘murder and suicide by Geissler, with motive un- known The actual motive for the shooting re- mains a mystery. There is mo doubt. however that Geissler had contemplated the shooting for he had been heard by several of his fellow chauffeurs to say that he would soon have his name in the papers, and only a few days ago, he is Teported to have been out in the. field in the rear of the Griswold hotel, practic- ing shooting: with a revolver. Of late he had been morose and gloomy, and a chauffeur who occupied a seat across the table from him in the side hall of the Griswold hotel; where the chauffeurs for the hotel guests dine, stated that forthe past week or so Geissler had eaten little or nothing, and that he had been brood- ing about something or other.

OLD' CLOCK REGISTERS GRAY HAIR, 'LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Grandma’s Sulphur darkens so naturally that nobody can tell. Hair Anut loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack' of sulphur in the -hair., Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at- tractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by thé addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which dark- ens. the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has bee;: applied. ~ You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance — e NORWICH MAN CUT BY FLYING STONE AT GROTON George S. Isham’ of 172 Laurel Hill avenue, this city, was severely cut by flying stone when a water pipe bucklefi under air pressure Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock near the home of Charles Hewitt in Groton. Ernest De- shefy of New London and Carl Knest- er of Groton were alsc cut by stone. The injured men were treated at the office of Dr. F. W. Hewes in Groton. About 30 feet of water pipe which was bing tested with the use of a recipe of Sage Tea and | compressor, burst, and damage of about $500 is estimated. According to a workmen for Con- tractor Fred Miller of Norwich, who has the job to construct the water pipe, the air was heing forced from the compressor buckled and damage of 200 pounds being its rated maximum pressure. But before that volume was reached the explosion came. Tie pipe was originally made for compressed air, although the town of Groton was using it for a water main. Most of the sections of pipe for the main had been laid and the job was nearing completion.
