At 9:40 this morning a new car carrying six passengers skidded on the slippery pavement of Berlin turning turtle in front of the post office. Fortunately no one was in- jured to any great extent although several of the men recelved slight lacerations of the face, body bruises and all were more or less shaken up. The car carried the number 2318, According to men who witnessed the accident the car was coming north at a slow rate and running cn the trolley tracks. The driver noticing a -trol- ley car approaching from the oppasite direction veered to the right side of the road at the same time applying his brakes. The momentum of the vehicle and the appliance of the brakes served to make the machine skid on the slip- pery pavement. The rear wheels brought up against the curb an the left side of the road. The contact was so great that the car averturned, land- ing on the sidewalk, pinning the ogcu- pants underneath. Conductor Maloy and Motorman Murray, who were in charge of the approaching trolley, were the first to lend assistance. Stop- ping the electric car they rushed to the scene and lifted the wrecked ma- chine so that those pinned undernedth were able to crawl aut. The two men who were injured were carried into the home of Postmaster Goodrich. They were given medical attention by Dr. Griswold, who happened to be coming from the Town hall in Berlin at the time. He reported that no bones were broken and that the warst damage was a general shaking up. The six men are motormen in New Haven and were golng from that city to Springfield to attend a convention there. However, the accident upset 649 East street, their plans and several of them an- nounced that they would return to their native city, not by auto, but by train. The car was later towed to Ventres’ garage for repairs, Super-Six Hits Pole. The breaking of a steering gear al- most caused fatal results yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock when a Hudson Super-six crashed into a tel- ephone pole. There were three oc- cupants in the car, a man, woman and child. None were injured. The own- er of the vehicle, who is a Waterbury man was coming down Berlin street and had just passed a trolley car when a cotter pin in the steering gear broke. The car zig-zagged for a few feet and ended its dizzy performance when it struck the telephone pole. One of the wheels was torn complete- Kly off and the fenders were bent. The car was later taken to Waterbury. Fil] Out the Blank. Thus far the campaign which the Herald is waging to determine the names of al] Berlin boys who have enlisted in the military 1s meeting with the hearty response of the townspeople. Mach day blanks are being returned. After all the names are in they will apepar in print and be used for historical purposes in years to come. Berlin has furnished a goodly num- ber of young men for the navy, the army and other branches of the serv- ice. It is no more than fair that a record of their names be kept. If you have a son or kinsman who has offered his services to ‘‘Uncle Sam” and has been accepted, fill out one of the blanks. It can either be returned personally to the Berlin re- porter, sent to the Herald office or left at one of the post offices, either at Berlin or Kensington. Pleading guilty to allowing the con- tents of a sink in Kelley's hotel to | run into the public highway, Mrs. Jo- hanna Gilligan, aged 76, was fined $1 and costs in court this morning. The total amount summing up to $5.36. Furthermore she promised County Health Officer Markham that the system would be disconnected and conditions bettered. The prosecution was made by the county officials in whose hands it had been placed by local health officer Griswold after a number of com- plaints had been made relative to the forming of stagnant pools of water and other liquid under the rallroad bridge. | Mrs. Gilligan’s contention was that she has allowed her sewage to empty into a drain which had been built by the railroad years ago. This drain be- coming clogged caused the overflow. Mr. Markham suggested this morn- ing to First Selectman W. I. Alling that the town clean out the drain which empties into the main sewer. The suggestion did not meet with ap- proval by the selectman although he stated that he was willing to do any- thing which was in the interest of the town. Berlin Briefs. Miss Anna J. Trehy left this morn- ing on a trip to Dorset and Rutland, Vermont. William Brown, Jr., of East Berlin is visiting his sister, Mrs. Joseph Ryan in Springfield. Members of St. Paul's T. A. & B. Drum Corps will meet tonight at Parish hall to make final prepara- tions and decorate the hall for the festival thich will be held tomorrow night. The V. I 8. of East Berlin will hold an ice cream social tomorrow eve- ning on the lawn of Mrs. Vance. SHIPPING LOSSES. French Lose Six Vessels and Italians Three. Paris, Aug. 8.—The weekly official report of French shipping losses, is- sued tonight shows that four vessels of 1,600 tons or more were sunk and two vessels of less than that tonnage.

Rome, Aug. 9.—During the week ending August 5, says the shipping re- port issued today, Italian shipping losses comprised two steamers and one small sailing vessel. In the weekly period 487 vessels of a gross tonnage of 355,175 entered Italian ports and 422 yessels, of 337,- 130 tons, sailed. BREAD CARDS IN PARIS. Precautions Must Be Taken to Pre- wvent Food Crisis. Paris, Aug. 9.—The impending bread cards which will be introduced in Paris probably in October will be necessitated in part by the unprece- | dented bad weather prevailing during the last several weeks. According to an official announce- ment “the deficit in the crop, which the weather we have been having has augmented does not permit France, any more than any other country, to fail to take the most minute pre- cautions if the year 6 1917-18 is to be passed without a crisis.” ITALY, STANDARDIZES SHOE. Rome, Aug. 9.—In view of the great increase in the price of foot- wear the government has decided to manufacture a standard shoe of stout make and at a reasonable price. Three hundred thousand pairs will be turned out monthly in Italy and another 200,000 pair will be imported. RUSSIAN LOAN SUCCESS. Petrograd, Aug. 8.—The first of the three “liberty loan” days in Russia proved a great success. Automobiles paraded the streets of the capital and decorated booths were installed in the principal thoroughfares for the sale of war bonds. PUBLIC BREAD MARKETS. St. Paul, Aug. 9.—Public bread markets are to be opened in Min- neapolis and St. Paul in the near future by the state commission in- vestigating prices of fuel, food and other necessities, according to an- nouncement by Chairman Marsh to- t?&y. TSTEAMSHIP ARAB LIBELLED. An Atlantic Port, Aug. 9.—The British steamship Kandy, damaged recently in collision with the British steamer Arab, has libelled the Arab for a large sum. The Kandy had her stern almost torn away. Get Rich Quick. Two young Irishmen in a Canadian regiment were going into the trenches for the first time, and their captain promised them five shillings each for every German/ they killed. Pat lay down to rest while Mick performed the duty of watching. Pat had not lain long when he was awakened by Mick shouting: ‘““They’re comin,, they’re comin'!" ““Who’s comin’?’ shouts Pat. “The Germans,” replied Mick. “How many are there?” “About fifty thousand.” “Begorra,” shouts Pat, jumping up and grabbing his rifle, “our fortune's made!"—London Tit-Bits, And the Man Moved On. The prison visitor on his usual rounds noticed that a new man occu- pied a cell that had been empty for some time. ‘“My friend,” he began, ‘may I ask what brought you here?"” Plainville News PLAINVILLE MEN IN FIRST 1,000 CALLED List of Local Registrants to Be Examined Saturday | MAY CALL MORE FOR QUOTA Many Aliens Among Those Who Will Present Themselves Before Doctors —Ground Broken For Factory Ad- dition—Alleged Pickpocket Out. ‘With the exception of five who have not received their notices through the inability of the mail clerks to locate them, the seventy-nine local young \men ordered to appear at the Town hall Saturday to undergo physical ex- amination to determine their eligibil- ity for service in the military forces of Uncle Sam are now prepared to present themselves before the doctors. The list of those called in the, first thousands who are to be examified in the hope of securing the 400 designat- ed as this district’s quota would indi- cate that claims for exemption will mount up high, as the many foreign names give rise to the opinion that there will be numerous attempts to evade service on the grounds of being aliens. 3 Stanley S. Gwillim, who was invited by the exemption board to recruit clerks ‘and doctors to take part in the work of examining the registrants, announced today that he has secured enough volunteers to make certain that the examination will not be de- layed. Three hundred men represent- ing Berlin, Southington and Plain- ville have been ordered to report at the local Town hall on Saturday. The physicians and their clerks will begin their work at 8:30 in the morning and, except for a brief breathing spell or lunch, they will continue until all who appear have been given the test. Judging from the results of the ex- minations in other places in Connecti- cut, the exemption board will have to issue a second call before® 400 physi- cally fit registrants, not claiming ex- emption, can be secured. Only 1,000 have been called for examination, and out of this number it is doubtful if three hundred members of the new army will be recruited., There are many aliens in this district and a large percentage of exemption claims on the grounds that the registrant is a subject of a foreign country is ex- pected. B. 1. Miller of Avon, secretary of the exemption board, stated today that blanks for exemption can be ob- tained at the Town hall Saturday. Ali ordered to appear, except aliens, will have to be physically :examined be- fore “their claims for exemption can be entertained.

Ground was broken . yesterday for the new addition to the Rockwell- Drake branch of the Marlin Rockwell company here, and work on the con- struction of the building will be started within two weeks. It is the intention to rush the work forward as rapidly as is consistent with good results, as the company requires the extra floor space immediately. The addition will be about the same size as the original building and will double the company’s floor space, enabling them to install additional machinery and to employ the. extra help required.
