NEW BRITAIN WOMAN RAISES NEW BERRY Strawberry-Raspberry Combina- tion—Looks and Tastes Like Both f A “strawberry-raspberry combina- tion, which is known by the name “strawberry-raspberry,” is a peculiar berry raised by Mrs. Willam Firn- haber, of 30 Highland street.

Strawberry Color. The berry is about as large as a strawberry and has the same color, although it partakes of the shape of a raspberry. Unlike either, the cen- ter is hollow but a small portion of the length of the berry. It has seeds like a strawberry. The flavor of the strawberry-rasp- berry resembles a combinatiop of both berries. Mrs. Firnhaber says they make excellent jams and jellies. The value of the new fruit lies in its large size the fact that it is<a solid friut, easy to keep, spoils with diffi- culty, and is not difficult to raise. Grows Rapidly. One plant set out in the spring, according ‘to Mrs. spread so rapidly that there are ap- proximately four dozen before the season is over. It is a hardy, ever- bearing plant and grows to a ‘height of about 3 1-2 feet, bearing fruit“and blossoms at ‘the same time, all sum- mer. Fo The blossom, closely resembles a strawberry blossom but is somewhat larger. The bushes have thorns like raspberry bushes, and the leaf re- sembles that of the raspberry. Mrs. Firnhaber says they are ex- cellent for canning and_preserving, as well as for making jams and jel- lies. They take about the same amount of sugar as the berries from which they originate. It is not known whether the mew berry is one of Lu- ther Burbank’'s experiments or not. GOOD SERVICE AT " LOCAL POST OFFICE \ No Complaints of Service Except !

Chjldren. and Grown-ups Take Plunges in Tanks, Pools, Etc., £ Throughout City. ’ Unusually hot days, such as yester- _day, have a great influence in driving people in New Britain to the various “ewimming tanks and public shower baths about the city, and it is a safe - ‘estimate that the number of “dips” _or ‘“plunges” taken on real hot days /have exceeded 1,000 several times this ‘ summer. At th2 Boys' club, where a general invitation has been tendered to play- ground boys, the avérage number of shower baths taken is 400. At the © Y. M. C. A, where playground and school boys are admitted to the pool free of charge on certain days. the list . goes as high as 275 several times a week. From 300 to 350 children take --a dip in the wading pool at Walnut Hill park on real hot days. At the Y. W. C. A, the average runs about 75 on + '@ hot day to half that number on a milder day, although the record num- - ‘ber for the summer has been known to reach 100.” During the month of June, 988 girls and women took shower ges in the swimming W A High Flier Now Almond flies to azure skies And, as be nears the moon, Each Flavorite is anxicus quite To travel by balloon.

On request, with nes il send gou one who could do anything at all was paid war wages. ' Then there was an occasional complaint, but they were few and not serious. A statement in a newspaper a short time ago to the effect that the gov- ernment was putting 25 cent special delivery stamps on the market, does not seem to have been very, well founded, according to reports at the local post office. Nothing has been heard here of any such action being contemplated. No word has been received of notification sent, in which there is the slightest reference to a raise in price of special delivery stamps. According to the newspaper which printed the rumor, the new price was contemplated for the purpose of hav- ing meore special delivery carriers and sending out one letter at a time- as soon ag it arrived. This, according to ‘Mr. Delaney is an absurd sugges- tion and would rot be likely to have much consideration with the depart- ment at Washington. In New Brit- ain, such a system would mean hir- ing a dozen or more special carriers, who would spend the greater portion of the day with nothing to do. “CURZYIOUS” HAS ’EM KIND OF GUESSING Another “Man or Mannikin” Mystery Appears in Andrews Furniture Store Window. “‘Curzyious,” hailed as “the world’s greatest mystery,” surely had the crowd guessing in front of John A. Andrews’ Furniture store from 2 to 3 p. m. today, when it made its ap-|g pearance in the window. People came in and were glad to shake hands with “Curzyious,” but held the hand for only a second, for “Curzyious,” it seemed, was full of electricity. Manager Reddy, in charge of this attraction; states that he will be glad to take “Curzyius” to any charitable entertainment while he is in New Britain, or before any Elks, Kr+of C. or Masonic affair. “Curzyious” will appear all next week _at John A. Andrews’ Furniture store. LOCAL BANKRUPT CASES Hearing of Clarence G. Palmer Until August 8 Because of An Objection to Application. The application of Clarence G.
