A detour through Allen, Oak, North Spring and Fast Main streets and vice versa, has been laid out by the city engineer for traffic during the time which Stanley street, between Hart- ford avenue and Allen streets is closed for repairs. The street will be closed next week and policemen will be de- talled to direct traflic around the de-. tours. Shepard’s Hill will also be closed to traffic. -In order that-the fire depastment, mail wagons, .etc., may get by, the street will be paved on only one side at a time, but it will not be opened for general traffic un- til the entire job is done.

Dame and Willlam J. Rawlings of the fire and police departments have made adequate arrangements to give the city and its residents the most thorough protection in their power The former will have every available man snd plece of apparatus subject to call, special arrangements being . made so that an alarm will not sum- mon an undue amount of fire fighting [ equipment to the scene needlessly. In addition, he issues timely advice rela- tive to the co-operation the general public’ can give in protective meas- ures against fire losses. Chief Raw- lings will have over 100 regular and supernumerary policemen on duty Tuesday, Wednesday and Wednesday night, strict orders being issued to -thém to preserve order at any cost with court appearance. provided for vidlated ordinancea “Caretul attention to rubbish piles, whether in the yard, cellar or other ‘parts, of dwelling houses or barns, close watch of roofs for possible igni- tion from balloons. and other night aerial fireworks as well as attention to screened windows to preventing the ignition of curtains are comprised in the warnings of Chief Dame, ‘Al- ‘though the municipal authorities have . materially curtailed the extent of the | Areworks® display legalized, it is an- ticipated there will be plenty of ma- terial made use of to create fires that, without preliminary precautions and proper after atteéntion, weuld prove threatenin; Chief Dame suggests that residents having the use of gar- den homse keep the same in readiness for use during the day in case of rub- bish or cellar fires and in reserve at night to check root fires that may re- sult from aerial fireworks. Removal of rubbish and waste paper piles from positions of possible danger during the next few days, says, will prove of much value to the authorities. In case of fire, he advises, it will ald the department greatly if persons in- terested will keep calm, give difec- tions as to location, lucidly and ex- plain tersely as to nature so that ap- paratus not really needed may be re- served for possible alarms following. Tomorrow, he says, may be well im- proved in looking over' backyards, oellars, etc., to see that piles of waste papers arfe removed or transferred from . proximity: to open windows, or scene . of likely ignition. Few realise, it is explained how many threatening ! fires result from unguarded roofs or upper story windows left open with curtains -easily ignited by fiying sparks.’ A little safety first proced- ure,” he said today,” and New Brit- ain’s Fourth will be memorable by a record minimum fire loss.” Chief' Rawlings is determined the police will do their part in the ap- proaching memorable , Fourth. Not only will there be a record number of men on duty but all will be instructed to enforce the ordinances to the letter and summon any violators for court appearance. Possibility of anti-war and antl-draft demonstrations will be suarded against, men on street duty being instructed to use efficient meas- ures in quelling any disturbance at the start. Every avallable regular and supernumerary policeman ' will be called into service. Not only the cen- ter but the .outskirts of the city will be effectually guarded. Men in plain clothes will be freely used. Events Tonight High class theater. - photo drama, Fox's Vaudeville and moving pictures at Keeney’s theater. iLycéhra theater, masterpiece photo producticns.

Picnic to Be Held at Quartet Park July 4. : Arranged for the benefit and in behalf of the war sufferers, the an- nual picnic of the New Britain Jewish Relief society at Quartet park Inde- pendence Day is expected to set a new record, as far as social and fin- ancial success s concerned. . Elabo- rate preparations have been made by the committee, assisted by other members of the society to make the occasion the best yet held, a standard for outings of like character and regardless of eéxpense necessary to make it such.. The outing is sched- uled for the entire day with a var- fed athletic program arranged under the sdirection and supervision .of the Sons and Daughters of Zion, the ba- zar- committee consisting of Constable Fred Winkle, N. E. Mag, Harry Ze- vin and Attorney M. D. Saxe. Martin Robinson is chairman of the picnic committee, Benjamin Clark, treasurer and Nathan Butnick, secretary. Abra- ham Wintz is in charge of the re- freshments.

How the freight car owners, and the freight car users, by co-operating can make enough. cars for the gov- ernment and everybody is shown in an appeal just issued by C. J. McDon- ald, mesistant to the chairman of the wm department of The Rail- roads’ War Board. - McDonald points out that the trouble does mot 1lié in the non-existence of enough cars, but that the maximum. use of each car is not obtained.. Just what co-opera- tion in- freight car conservation means u sh here: - An of two tons per loaded car’ ‘would be equivalent to edding ' 200,000 carg to the number available far public use. There are about from 250,000 to 300,000 points in the United States where freight is received and . deliv- ered. It is estimated that quicker loading and unloading would increase 3:; number of available cars by 515,- There are 2,575,000 freight cars in this ceuntry of which about 6.5% are normally under repair. The raii- roads are trying hard to reduce this ‘percentage to 4, which would release 64,000 cars for active service. Now, if the public will co-operate with the raliroads in loading cars to their. full permissible capacity and in releasing equipment promptly, max- imum efficlency will be secured and the problem svlved. k for only the cars you need and when you need them: use fully; load promptly; release qlickly. New cars are ‘being bufit but the ‘volume of the nation’s business is be- ing built faster, wherefore avoidance of car wastage is as important as avoldance of food wastage. The time may even come, and | come quickly, when our country's -\llceen will hinge upon the car sup- ply. Help us avold using two cars where one will suffice, for & car saved is a car made.

When 6 o'¢clock sup- per is finished the score of little toddlers romp about together for a little while. If there s the least ex- cuse they sing & song or two,—about the sshdman and about the sun sink- ing in the west: They love to show what good memories they have! One little lad. in_ blue rompers grasps a little midget misi by the hand, and they begin to swing their arms violently to and fro in time to the music, too engrossed to sing and wholly unconscious of anyone watch- ing. 'What a pity that no one has & camera ready to snap them! Then, when they have all, quieted down a bit they gather and kmeel in & group in the sweetest fashion, and with the matron or one, of the older girls to guide them,:they say their evening prayer together, ending with & plea for a blessing on all the little boys and all the little girls and all the matrons in all the houses. After that there is a general exo- dus toward the upstairs regions, where a little white crib is waiting for h drowsy boy. After all has' been said about children who hate to &0 to bed, isn’t it surprising to hear a group of youngsters who actually ! enjpy bedtime? These bables jump ! into their nighties as happy as you please. The older children,—those have reached the advanced jof five or six years, help the little' ones in the gentlest way, undoing stubborn fastenings and wrestiing with refrac- tory buttons. It is a great feat to be the first one’ lifted into bed. Even second honors are not to be despised. One lad says he never has had ‘a dream, such as the older children tell of, so" daytimes he makes. up nice ones for himself, as & sola: A great deal of petting and cud- dling goes with the process of tuek: dng in the bed clothes, and then it is such fun to lie there''securely and play bedtime games. There is one game in which the. sandman goes from crib to. erib sprinkling imaginary sand on the lit- tle eyelids. In another game every wee boy and girl closes his eyes tight, and lies as still as can be, to se¢ who will go to sleep first. The one who really does go to sleep first wins the game of course. Such heroic ‘ef- forts to be quiet! One little figure does seem relaxed. ‘‘Are you asleep, Sonny?” ‘asks th matron. “Yes, pipes a_tiny little volc: And | he really does win the game, too, for in’ a few mofeé minutes he fast asleep. Up so the windows and down come the shades. Everybody says “‘Good night” and “sleep tight” and in & few minutes every tired healthy little toddler is headed straight for dream- land. Two fine American flags have been donated by friends and are already in place floating out over two of the houses. Four of the older children gradu- ated from the Grammar school last week.

Negotiations wers closed 46 through the Camp Real Estaf for the sale of the Vile carriage shop on Arch street, one of the hest known old business buildings in the city, by George P.
