NUMBERS ON HOUSES MUST BE CORRECT — Government Orders Mail Carriers to Report Incorrect Numbers Mail carriers in New Britain, acting under instructions received by Pos master W. F. Delaney, from tho postal department at Washington, started yesterday on a campaign to list all incorrect house numbers in the city in an effort to have them cor- rected When the list is completed the owners or occupants of the houses will receive requests from the postal de- partment to aid the office in expe- diting the delivery of mail by correct- ing mistakes in their house numbers and putting numbers on houses where they are missing. Houses Numbered Incorrectly. There are quite a few incorrect numbers on houses in this city, ac- cording to reports made at the post- office by local mail carriers. It is not uncommorn to find numbers in the middle of a block which belong some- where near the corner. In fact, it was only a short time ago that Post- master Delaney requested the city en- gineer to remedy a condition found jon West street where numbers were | found to start from each end of the street. City Officials Co-operate. “The present system used by the city in numbering houses is a good one,” said Postmaster Delaney, “and the city officials are willing to co- operate, if the people only will be careful about putting on the num- bers.” Many people do not go to the sity clerk as they should. but buy what they think is the correct num- ber and place it on the house. Then very often the malil carrier finds ths wrong number on the house and there is trouble. Trouble for Subs. In case of the regular carrier on the route this does not always make much difference, but when a substitute is working on the Toute, as is the case on five different routes in New Britain now, it delays the delivery of a letter. If the mail carrier passes a house, looking for a number, and there are no numbers to be seen for some dis- tance, then discovers he has passed the number he is looking for, he may find it too late to turn back and may have to carry the letter back to the office, holding it until the next trip. Specials Delayed. Oftimes this makes trouble with a special delivery letter. The boy goei to & certain neighborhood with a let- ter and finds the houses are not num- bered. Ho must inquire at several houses before he finds the right one. Thus the delivery of all letters are delayed and probably a dozen or mora people suffer an inconvenience aa result. Tack Street Signs. The United States postal laws re- cuire that every house must be num- bered correctly, receptacles for mail installed and sidewalks laid befora mail carriers are compelied to deliver letters. Another great trouble with this city reported by mail carriera is the lack of street signs. Thera are many small streeta with which substitute carriers are not familiar and letters sometimen are caried back to the posrtoffice with the eport that the carrier could not locate tha street. Posmaster Delaney, who had occa- sion to investigate a request for de- livery servie irn a certain section o! the suburbs yesterday, reports that he passed many small streets without street signs. In some cases he said the signs had been there and had been knocked down by boys. In other cases there never had been any. PLAN MONSTER DAM ALONG NAUGATUCK Waterbury Aldermen Would Dam 40,- 000,000 Gallons at Source of This and Other Streams A monster dam will be built at the tributaries of the Naugatuck river, in the near future if plans approved by the board of aldermen in the city of Waterbury are carried out. The plan is to conserve the water supply of the state so that enough water can be im- pounded to flush many of the rivers of the state to a sapitary condition as well as equalize the flow from spring freshets. The report of Charles H_Preston, a corporation engineer who was engaged in 1914 to investigate this possibility for the corporations along the Nauga- tuck, recommends the building of a monster dam of 190,000 cubic yards of masonry construction, 1,300 feet long, 142 feet high, and 118 feet thick at the bottom. The plans already drawn allow for 9,000,000 gallon capacity. This with dams on other streams will make it possible to impound nearly 40,000,000 gallons and will cost well into the mil- lions to construct. TO SPRI . The postoffice baseball team will journey to Springfield tomorrow and will contest for the honors of the dia- mond with the strong Springfield office team. The team from the Bridgeport postoffice cancelled the game here tomorrow for financial rea- sons. Nothing has been heard from repeated challenges to Hartford. Jacowitz will pitch tomorrow in placs of Coogan, who will do the twirling for the Trojans. TO BUILDI Rev. Dr. J. E. Kl\r\gherg stated yesterday that the money raised by the children at the Junior chautauqua and presented to him for the Chi dren's home, would be added to the building fund. He says it was a wonderful thing for the children to do and that the spirit and principle of the gift are valued as greatly as the money itself. The sum amounted to almost $53.

CITY PLAYGROUNDS CLOSE FOR SUMMER Kveraged 2,000 Daily Since July 6, Basehall League Popular After a most successful summer, during which an average of 11,137 children took advantage of their privileges every weck, the city play- grounds closed for the season at noon today. These playgrounds, situated at the old Elihu Burritt, Martlett, East, Smalley and Smith schools opened July 6, in charge of Jack Rourke, athletic coach at Colgate col- lege, as playground superintendent.

The vocational training’ was done under the direction of Miss May Begley. Miss Esther Miller had charge of Junior Achievement work. Baseball Popular. One of the most popular features of the playgrounds this year was the inter-playground baseball league un- der the personal direction of Mr. Rourke. The games were played mostly at Walnut Hill park and more than 2,000 boys participated. Weekly athletic meets were held on each ground under the supervision of Mr. Rourke and about 1,100 children took part each week. Not the least important of these athletic features of the playgrounds were the daily baseball games between girls’ teams. These games never failed to attract a large crowd of spectators who mar- veled at the ability shown by the young women in this line, heretofore considered wholly out of their sphere. In a statement this morning, Mr. Rourke sald that among other things he felt extremely grateful to the Boys' club and the Y. M. C. A., for the use of their shower baths. LEGION OPPOSED TO CHINESE COOLIES Fight Proposals to Permit Orientals to Enter Hawaiian Islands for Labor Purposcs. ‘Washington.

Washington, Aug. 27.—Official opin- ion was divided today on tho question of President Harding's authority to make recess appointments to federal posts during the present adjournment ot Congress. The president was said to take the position that since congress stood ad- journed he had, under the law, the right to make the necessary recess ap- pointments for ‘carrying on the work of the government subject to the ap- proval of the senate, where necessary, when that body re-assembles. A memorandum prepared for Attor- ney Gen. Daugherty after close study of the subject by the department of justice officials, however, cites an opin- ion by former Attorney Know, which held that where the congress adjourn- ed sine die, the president was entitled to name appointees but where tha date of re-assembly was fixed, as in the present case, the president could not make appointments necessary of confirmation during the recess.

The men scrambled aboard immediately. Most of them had spent the night walking and sitting about the village. Although the men show- ed signs of restlessness during the last few hours of their stay here, there was no disorder. The main body of marchers was d along Indian and Lens crecks {acing northeast and straggling toward home, in compliance with Mr. Keeney's wishes. The spirits of the men did not appear to have been af- fected by the sudden é&hange of plan. If there was discontent, it was not evident. Today, with their homes as their ob- jective rather than a distant county their ' destination, those of the men who have families apparently were speeding up tha journey. Dist. President Keeney spent the night here with the contingent await- ing transportation to Charleston. Aside from expressing satisfaction, he had nothing to say for publication. LOCAL MAN HELD UP John Blair, Driver of a Bakery Auto- mobile. Badly Beaten and Robbed of $50 Ncar East Berlin. John Blair of 240 Hartford avenue, o driver for the Parker-Buckey bak- cry of this city, was the victim of highwaymen last night between Crom- well and East Berlin. As the result of the rough handling of the high- waymen, Blair is confined at his home with his eyes blackened and painful bruises about the face and body. As soon as he could Mr. Blair informed his employers of his experience and word was at once sent to the state police. Blair had been to Middletown and Meriden yesterday delivering goods. It was while he wear nearing the East Berlin town line, that a man jumped in front of his automobile and com- manded him to stop. Blair paid no attention to the man and had pro- ceeded only a short distance when two masked men sprang in front of the automobile and at the point of a revolver forced Blair to stop the car. Blair put up a battle when the highwaymen started to search him, whereupon the revolver was pressed against his body, with a warning to come across.”” The search netted the ‘highwaymen about §50.

Middletown, Aug. 27—Three strang- crs were loitering about the Y. M. C. A. here on Thursday and were ap- prehended by the police. They stated that they had left their jobs with a carnival show that had played in Middletown and were making plans for getting other work. They were warned to leave the city and it was supposed they had done so. The hold-up between Cromwell and East Berlig was reported here as well as in other places in the state. The description of the three fitted per- fectly the men warned to leave town. The Middletown authorities have spread a net about the surrounding towns searching for them. Two of the men were well dressed and the third was very poorly attired. They were between 22 and 25 years of age. AT THE LYCEUM.
