In turning to the right to avoid hitting her Gridley turned too far and hit the telephone pole with his ma- chine. The collision with the pole threw the rear of the machine to the left and hit Miss Bruce who remained standing in the highway. Gridley was preceding the Berlin trolley down the street and it is thought that Miss Bruce was waiting for the trolley and stepped into the road with the inten- tion of going aboard. Evidently she thought that the automobile was going to turn down South Main street and for this reason did not attempt to get out of the way. The accident was re- ported to the New Britain police by Gridley, Neither Miss Bruce nor the machine were badly damaged. Vaccinating Today. Drs. M. H. Griswold and T. C. Hodgson today started their work of vaccinating the pupils of the public schools in the town. While it was thought at firet that some of the par- ents would object to their children being vaccinated there has been no evidences of it since the school board made the rule. All suspects have been discovered about the town. In keep- ing with the closing of the schools in Berlin it is expected that meetings that were to have been held in the near future will be called off yntil such a time as the danger of the epi- demic has passed. The Literary so- ciety which was called for April 23 tas been postponed indefinitely. Guard Drill Tomorrow. The plan of the local unit of the Home Guard called for the mustering in of the company at tomorrow night’s meeting but due to the fact that the medical ipspection has not been com- pleted the muster will be deferred un- til next week. Regular drill will be in order at the meeting and every man is requested to be present. The men in charge of the guard are planning to have the mustering in a public a j fair and for this reason all the guards should be present at the preceding meetings.

Use Grandmoth- ors’ recipe of Sage Tea and Sul- phur and wobody will know. —_— The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to ‘grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair- took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- rended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a i sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gruy Yair disappears, and after another ap- tlication or two, it becomes beautiful- | ly dark and glossy. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis- l ease. open in the town clerk’s office tomor- row evening at 7 o'clock and a num- ber are expected to join at that time. Col. Jarvis a Trustee. Colonel C. M. Jarvis was yvesterday appointed a trustee of the Connecticut Agricultural College by Governor Marcus H, Holcomb. His term of of- fice will extend for four vears from July 1. The appointment shows that the ability of Colonel Jarvis as an agriculturist, is becoming recognized throughout the state and he is well deserving of the position. He is president of the Berlin Asgricultural soclety but this will in no way in- terfere with his becoming a trustee. With the Whist Club. Members of the Home Whist club gathered at the home of H. C. Cooley last evening where they engaged in a little practice for the military whist which is to be held In the Kensing- ton Grammar school tomorrow night. Miss L. A. Bassett proved to be the most fortunate of the ladies present and received first prize for her en- deavors. Miss Minnie Gibbs received second ladies prize and George Grif- fith and Harry Taylor first and sec- ond gentleman's respectively. Fol- lowing the whist a social hour was held during which refreshments were served. S. of V. Meeting Tomight, The Berlin Sons of Veterans Asso- ciation will meet at the home of Judge George G. Griswold this eve- ning and talk over plans for the an- nual dance. There was a meeting of the dance committee last night at the home of Harris Hodge and a de- cision was reached whereby the ddnce will be held in the Town hall on May 17. The members are expected to ratify the decision of the dance com- mittee this evening. A soclal -time will be held after the business ses- slon during which a program arranged for by the entertainment committee will be given. E Briefs. There was a meeting of the demo- cratic town committee last evening at which the reports of the last election were heard. ‘There will be no prayer meeting at the Berlin Congregational church this’ evening as the members will unite in the services at the First Congrega- tional church, New Britain. Men are still at work: blasting the iron foundation at the old Bridge Plant {n East Berlin and as the drill- ing has to be done by hand it will take some gime yet. High water and cold weather have led the trout fishermen to report that there is very little activity in that line of sport. " A number of local people have al- ready planted part of their gardens. .

STEWART, time fire the first gun in the hot cam- paign which is to be waged during the next féw months to put Plaihville in the no-license column. Mr. Stewart is making a tour of the East to strength- en the forces opposing Barleycorn and his allies and the possibility that this town will put the liquor interests to flight at the- fall election caused his managers to include Plainville in his intinerary. Mr. Stewart was one of the speak- ers in the great flying squadron cam- in 1914 and 1915. As a member of that organiza- tion he visited the capital of every state in the union. In the 235 days meetings were held {n 255 cities, nec- essitating a journey of over 65,000 miles.

Knipe of Bristol, will provide a musical pro- gram for the meeting. Popular Couples Wed. With only the immediate family present, Miss Maude Preston Ryder, daughter of Mrs. M. P. Ryder, and Ivan Scott Farrar, were united in marriage last evening at the young lady’s home on Maple street, Rev. R. H. Burton, rector of the Church of Our Saviour, officiating.

Unclaimed by relatives or friends, the body of the man thought to Thomas Ryan of Hartford, who was killed by a train west of the 'Hast Main street crossing Saturday night, was buried today in West cemetery at the town’s expense. % A friend of the dead man identi- fied the body Tuesday. He claimed that Ryan had no relatives in this country but was & member of a Hart- ford spcir, club which would pfob- ably look after his funeral. He asked to have burial deferred a day to give him an opportunity to communicate with the members of the club with which he said his friend was affiliated. Undertaker W. A. Bailey, to whom the body was turned over by Medical Examiner Moody, heard nothing from- tvan's friend since and at -the sug- #estion of the selectmen the body was Luried today. Two Go to Jail. John Marshall and Frank James, truckers at the transfer station, were each fined $7 and costs and sentenced i to jail for thirty days by Justice E. P, Prior before whom they were ar- raigned this morning on charges of intoxication and breach of the peace. The men were arrested yesterday by Constable Downing, watchman at the freight yard, to whom a report had been made that they were around try- ing to sell some shoes which it was believed were stolen. i After they were taken into custody, a seaz"h revealed packages of cigar- ettes in their clothing. They explained that during the day they went to /sleep near a pile of railroad ties on the railroad property and when they awoke they discovered the shoes and cigarettes hidden under the wood. Although the authorities placed no j credence in their fanciful story, they | were unable to press a charge ‘“of !lhefi. against them, as their was no +evidence to prove that their claims | were incorrect. Fair Opens AuspiciOusly. The annual fair of the Hose com- pany opened auspiciously last evening in the Town hall. There was a large attendance afid the canvassers did a big business, reaping a hargit of nickels and dimes from the patrons. The fair is to continue until and in- cluding Saturday night and it Is ex- pected that it will' be the biggest financial success in the history of the fire department. An excellent program was furnished last evening by the Foresters’ club, assisted by the Imperial entertainers. A splendid feature was the colored porter’s monologue given by Emmett Vilkinson of Poughkeepsie, N, Y., who is visiting here with friends. A dance by Miss Esther Bruce of Bristol and Harold Corning of this place, also evoked great applause.’ Southington night will be observed at the fair this evening. A number of firemen and friends from the neighboring borough are expected t@ attend. The p: m will be given by the Southington Lady minstrels. 80 Pound Pressure. That Plainville has a good water supply, at least as far as pressure for fires is concerned, was demonstrafed at the blaze at Edwin H. Hills’ fac- tory Tuesday morning. Although five streams were played on the burning building for several hours, the pres- sure at no time was less than 80 pounds. The normal pressure in the vicinity of the Hills’ place is about 100 pounds. While tons of water were poured on the burning structure the reservoir fails to show any effect. The lake is high in this season and as the sater has been running over the dam for several davs, the big draught made by the firemen hardly made an impression on it. Insurance inspectors continue work- ing at the place with Mr. Hills and hie aides in an effort to determine the actual loss that an adjustment may be made at once, permitting an early start on the erection of a new building. { ‘Chief Norton wrote to Chief Dame of New Britain today, expressing his appreciation of the offer tendered by the fire department in that oity to render assistance should the fire get heyong the control of the local com- pany. A ‘similar communication will be sent to the New Britain safety| boagrd by the local fire commissioner: Brief ¥tems. Sequassen lodge will hold a regular meeting this evening in Odd Fellows hall. Local bakers have given notice of an advance in the selling price of pies, cakes and ather delicacies. The advance is necessitated by the soaring of the cost of flour and other mater- ials.

SONORA PHONOGRAPHS DEMONSTRATED ing of the death of Mrs. Michael Parkinson of Bristol, due to pneu- monia, Mrs. Parkinson had many friends in Plainville who were shocked to hear of her unexpected death.

Home gardens are being provided for the faculty members. Military {instruc- tion hours have been increased, and a full day each week is given over to military training and drill.
