But here's he rub. FEach motorist is under the mpression that the middle of the | road is his by divine right and re- sents the idea of one coming in an opposite direction using it. And the workmen on the job are amused during the day by the constant bick- erings between various individuals. An' amusing incident occurred in front of the Congregational church last evening about 7:30 o’clock. Two automobiles coming in opposite direc- tions met and each driver wished the other to turn out to one side. Both refused and a period of ‘“‘watchful waiting” ensued. Finally a trolley came along. The motorman sounded his bell, but the irate motorists re- fused to budge. The trolley man took the situation in good nature for a half minute and then informed the others that the schedule called for him .to reach the end of the line. He made various suggestions, but they fell on deaf ears. At last, he threatened to put his high powered machine in action and sweep both belligerents off the path. A suggestion was then made that the two autoists match a coin to see which would get off first. The men complied and the coin was spun. The machine going north lost and the driver gracefully switched off to the east side of the road and the other continued toward Meriden. Strike Still On. Bvidently the laborers employed by the Suzio company, who went on | strike Wednesday, are going to stick it out, for no trace of any could be found this morning. The strikers are mostly Portuguese, few speaking English, and refuse to discuss the matter in any form, except the re- quired raise. Only about a dozen men are at work, but the job is going on at a rapld rate. A short delay was made this morning, when a carload of crushed stone due from the quarries yesterday afternoon did not arrive un- tl 10 o'clock. However, if nothing more happens, the contractor expects ! to finish the job in the required time. C. E. Lawn Festival. The annual strawberry and ‘ice cream festival, under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor society of the Berlin Congregational church, will be {held on the lawn this evening at 6 o'clock. The affair has always proven successful in the past and there is ev- ery indication that this evening’s party will be the best ever. Briefs.

While the plans have not as yet ma- tured, the ideas on which the women are working indicate tHat the fair will have many features that will appeal to the people of the town and will bring in enough money to give the steadily growing library fund a sub- stantial advance. For a number of years the Woman'" club has been working diligently towards the one objective—getting the Plainville library accommodations that will measure up to the require- | ments of the town. Under the ex! ! ing conditions the town is able to fur- | nish its citizens with a certain num- ber of books, both fiction and non- fiction in character, but the supply available is inadequate to supply the needs. Besides Plainville is without suitable quarters for a reading room, and the club hopes to eventually raise enough money to make possible the erection of a building. Plans towards this end are in em- | bryonic state, the ladies preferring to wait until they have some assurance that the funds required will be avail- able before they start sketching a bullding. The fairs and lectures and | other forms of entertalnment given under thelr patronage in the past have been productive of financial re- | sults and there is now a considerable amount drawing interest in the banlks. This year the club hopes, to add sev- eral hundred dollars to the fund through its garden party. The affair will be held during the latter part of | October. The attention of the towns- people is called to the plans that | Jadies who are canning fruits and veg- | ctables and making jams, Jellies, etc., for the winter may remember the li- brary fund. A jar or two of goodies laid aside for the fair will be of ma- terial assistance In making it success- | ful. Contributions of fancy aprons or other articles to be sold in connection with the fair will also be appreciated. The Woman'’s club has registered its belief in preparedness and is taking plenty of time in making its plans, that nothing that would tend to make the affair a success will be overlooked by the time it is opened. The townspeople in general should be alive to Plainville’s needs along cducational lines, and the library pro- ject is certainly deserving of their sup- port. The Woman's club will give everyone an opportunity to again dis- ! play their civic interest and, judging from past performances, they will not be found wanting when the time ar- | rives. “Exams’. Civil Service Candidatés for positions as clerks and carriers in the local post office will take the civil service examina- tion tomorrow at the New Britain post office. The tests will be given from 9 o'clock in the morning until 1| o'clock in the afternoon. Those whose average is up to the standard required by the postal de- partment will receive places on a list of eligibles from which the postmaster will make his selections in case va- | cancles occur in the future. The list now in use will be abandoned after the results of the examination are ob- tained. Only five have signified thelr inten- tion of taking the examination tomor- row. Allowing for the usual percent- age of failures, the indications are that the postmaster will have a small list, and the chances of appointment | for those who are successful in the tests will be good. There are no vacancies in the cler- ical or carrfer forces at the present time and none are anticipated in the immediate future. | The postmaster is still in ignorance as to when the examination for rural carriers will be given. > Picnic for Militia. the bovs in the regular army. thase who have seen ser- vice in Mexico or on the border, feel rather sympathetic towards members of the National Guard who have been called upon protect the houndary line is indicated by Fred J.
