Thus in New Britain we have a traffic tower at Main and West Main streets; but it comes under the cafe- gory of being a “dummy, Plainville also has a dummy at its center, although it is not a fancy tower like the one in New Britain. Now in Plainville there is the cus- | tomary rule about turning around a dummy—it must be done to the right; in other words, autoists are expected to go round it. In New Britain, however, the op- | posite rule holds good for the dum- my at the center. Autoists are not expected to go around it. Only strangers to the city's ways do so, | and the worst that happens to them is a merry laugh from pedestrians and autoists. The New dummy s so situated that only the most pains- taking would care to drive around it.

A storm center is located over eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. A long trough of low pressure extends southward therefrom over the plains states to Texas.

The “About Town Man'* has been informed, no less than ning establishments were dispensing I« quor last Sunday in Berlin whila Lawyer Upson was stopping the White Oak vaudeville show. The trolley and summer parks are great temperance influences, and it it was anyone else but Mr. Upson who was trying to lessen their influence, one would be tempted to say that he had a brewery behind him. Two mass meetings were held over the week-end to deal with the row within the Polish church. There are many who want the assistant pastor to remain, but the friends of Father Bojnowski are said to outnumber them 10 to 1. The latter claim that a certain element is starting the trouble because of Father Bojnow- ski's temperance work. If there are any who thought they would deal a knockout blow to the coal trust by burning wood this winter, they are mistaken. The price of wood has gone up to $8 and $9 a cord and seems bound to keep pace with the price of coal.

The bill is for $1.50.
