mmamwamn AUTO-CHEMICAL'S YEAR OF SERVICE Cost $55 in Active Maintenance Chief Stanton Finds For 12 Months—Equals Cost of Keeping Pair of Horses For | One Month—Total Mileage Was 672 9-10. The Ncrwich autochemical, the city’s | first piece. of motor driven fire ap- paratus, has just completed. jts first | year® of service, and records kept by Chiet Howard L. Stanton show in de- tail what its service in the fire depart- ment has bee: Arriving here a ear ago about mid- | night of March 12, 1912, it was at once put into service. In the year since then the autochemieal has re- sponded to 110 alarms and bas covered 202 4-10 miles in answering these fire calis. Several of these were outside of the city llmits. In addition it has run 470 5-10 miles in demonstrating, practice and instruction and other uses for the service of the department, making a total mileage of 672 9-10 miles. There has been bought for it 219 gal- lons of gasoline at 15, 13.and 20 cents per gallon, a total cost for gasoline of | $34.99, and 18 1:2 gallons of engine oil for $9.25. making $44.15 for gasolme! and oil. For it also there has been purchased a Prestolite ta: cup | grease, alcohol for the radiator, and six new batteries, which, together with the gasoline and oil, makes the total maintenance cost of the year of $55. | The car had one break, which cost | $370 to repair, but which came about through not fault of the car, and this | is not counted in the maintenunce cost | mentioned. | Barripg the wreck. the actual main- tenance cost of $55 for the whole twelve months was just equa’ to what the chief estimates it costs io keep a pair of horses ome month. The forty gallon chemical tank was discharged 31 times, and the three gal- lon chemical tanks have been dis- charged 73 times. which was a total of 1.459 gallons .of chemical used at fires. There s no charge to be made this year against the auto on account of tires, as all tire troubles have been ad- justed by the dealers. In the course of its work at fires, the autochemicai has laid about 9,000 feet of liose, in addi- tion to using its own hose. and this service in Jaying hose was particular- | experienced served to show how | the MeNal v called for at the Central Wharf fir where it more than paid for itself in the work it did that night as a general utility wagon in many - way: The one wreck that the autochemical val uable it was to have the repair factor; close at hand, for the car was in ser- vice the same day again at 5 p. m, coming from the Pope Hartford fac- tory at once. A" comparison of mileage and amount of gasoline used will show a little bet- ter than three miles to a gallon, but this is not all represented ir running distance outside the station, as the motor is run many times in the sta- tion, and this all counts in gasoline consumption without showing in the milcage. Chief Stanton estimates that about four miles to the gallon is near- er the actual showing for the car. The car has never failed to start when cranked up at the station for an alarm or to test the motor at the regular signal times. Some of the notable perform- ances in answering for calls out of the city limits has been at the Dr. Hills house at Norwich Town and at and Avery Bros’. plac neighborhood, and the Lu At the Dr Hills in that mill at Poauetanuck, place they had smal] idea of saving the house, but by making a run in record time, the autochemical men, without water, saved the house with very little damage. Many -of the fires in the city which had the makings of conflagrations were held in check by the quick re- spcnse which the autochemical was able to make. Among these Chief Stanton points out the fire in the Aus- tin building. that in the Turrbull ga- rage and the two in the Chapman bullding. By the quick hitch which the autochemical made at the Austin pullding fire they had a siream on from a hydrant af the foot of the Main street hil] before there was a stream on from a hydrant right oss street from the bullding where the fire was, this hydrant belng taken by an- other fire company. AWOKE FROM SIEEP OF NINETEEN YEARS Woman Inquires for Her Baby, Now | a Married Woman. Adanta, Ga., March 18.—Locai phy- micians are puzzled today over the case of Mrs. Carrie E. Jordan, of this city, who vesterday suddenly regained con- trol of her mental facuites after suf- fering for 19 years from a form of aberration which rendered her entire- Iy oblivious of her surroundings. Mrs. Jordan “awoke” at a local hospital, where she was recovering from an-ab- dominal operation performed five weeks ago. She said that the 19 years during which her facultizs were be- clouded is an utter blank, although she remembered things that-transpired be- fore her mind became affected. Mrs. Jordan's first request was that her daughter, whom she had last “seen” as a iwo weeks' oid baby, be brought to her. The daughter is now Mrs. Pansy Rowe of Atlanta. Meet Shore Line Champions.

This was the second of the Holy Week ser- vices held under the joint ausipices of the Universalist, and Broadway and Second Congregational churches. yer was offered by Rev. H. J. ckoff and Rev. E. S. Worcester read from the scripture. The subject of the address by Rev. Mr. Cobb was Today, Jesus’ Appre- ciation of His Present Situation in the Closing Days of His Ministry. The text was taken from Luke, 2:51: “When the time was come that He should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go up to Jerusalem.” The speaker said in part: During Jesus' ministry in Galilee He The pastor, conducted the had incurred the enmity of Herod, whose gullty ~ conscience identifie him with that bold herald of right- eousness and of the coming kingdom of God, John the Baptist, whom he had beheaded. Jesus as John's successor had ral- Hed about Him great multitudes in the most populous centers of Galilee. Not only was Herod watching Jesus, but Jesus was doubtless aware of the significance of ‘that surveillance. The End Approaching. The news that John had been be- headed was to Jesus the unmistak- able sign (hat the davs of his activity in_Galilee were limited. The iwo strongest forces in Pal- estine were allied against him; both were inspired with the jealous fear that his growing authority with the masses. would -endanger their own. Herod posseised the power and when he struck den, secret and deadly. There is also reason to believe that the imprisonment and death of Jesus at this stage would have endangered the permanent results of his work. The. truth had been scattered broad- cast, but it had not yet had time to germinate and bear fruit in loyal, in- telligent, eMeient _discipleship. At this period Jesus lost His pop- ularity, for the people were intent chiefly’ on physical health and mir- aculous signs and were dlssatisfied with the ethical and spiritual food that he gave. This marks a erisis In_His Gallleean ministry. In meny ways ‘this was the great- est tragedy of His life. At the moment of apparent suc- cess He was compelied suddenly to give up His' work and to flee for His iife beyond the bounds of Galllee. From this time on His task was to perfect the training and faith of the | few who were loyal to Him. During - this period Jesus tried to impress upon His disciples the spir- itual elements in His conception of the task of the Messiah. Deoubtless He had hoped that He DIED.

But as & careful student of the second Isaiah and of the larger book of iife He recognizeq that the way in which the servant of Jehovah was his task was the way of seeming shame and of patient suffer- ing and of complete self sacrifice. Jesus understood that He must down ‘Hig life. He had prepared Himself for it. He however did mot purpose to let his mission fail for He made certain of the continuation of His work. It was with this idea that He ate the passover with them, and then at this farewell meeting with them He gave an exhibition of His. character and purpose as He washed the disci- ples’ feet and instituted the Lord’s supper that they should ever memem- ber Him and His work. Whenever they met to partake of a meal they should remember him. It was a reminder of the covenant, which bound them _together closer than the bonds of blood-kinship, and of that nmew personal relation which Jesus had sought to establish between each of His followers and their com- mon Father.
