From time to time amateur geol- ogists, unhampefed by “book learn- ing,” make, as they suppose, wonder- ful discoveries in the primeval rocks. They find that they hail not as foo prints on the sands of time, but foot- prints of men and animais on flat rock surfaces and slabs of stone. The real origin of such hollows is now known to be the former presence of concretions which have in time been worn out. In every part of the earth such “footprin have been found. The most re ‘kable of these is a print two f long on the top of a lofty hill -called Adam’s peak, in the island of Ceylon, which is believed by the natives to be the stamp of the foot of Buddha as he left the earth s .‘kng into heaven, and it is ac- cordingly an object of worship.

The outcome of the hul'll‘ s Daniel M. Cronin of New London was named as receiver under bonds of $100,000 and he is to report on his work in e month and not to make any radical changes without consent of ihe court. Attorney Cronin’s name was sug- gested by Attorney Geary, with whom he was associated in the case and Attorney Thomas M. Shields said that interests he represented would be sat- isfled with Mr. Cronin, The name of Grosvenor Ely for re- ceiver ‘was suggested by Attorney Hadlal A. Hull, who was counsel for the petitioners. Attorney Geary, who said he repre- sented men who owned 70 per cent. of the stock of the company and are opposed to the appointment of the temporary receiver, called this- legal action all a conspiracy and an act of oppression, brought through the par- ties in power who had lost control of the company. The attorney said there was a stockholder among the men he represents who -holds $75,000 of the stock and he said that the temporary receiver knew that the men who have control of t%e stock are well able to pay all the @debts of the company. It was brought out that these amounted to $208,000. Mr, Geary argued that if the contemplated action is allowed to go through, the ultimate result will AUTOTRUCK TOO BIG TO GO INTO GARAGES. Demonstrating Car Camped Out by Side of Fire Station. A big nine ton autotruck that arrived in the city from New London Friday evening had a top too tall to allow of entering any of the Norwich garages for over night, but it was just about to drive into the yard behind the garage of the M. B. Ring Auto Co. on Chest- nut street when the suggestion was made to E, A. Cryne, who was driving the truck, that he might be able to put it up for the night on the concrete enclosure to the north of the fire sta- tion. Permission to do so was secured from Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton, and the truck was run in there. Mr. Cryne, who is driving the truck and is salesman for a line of kerosene, gas and electric engines, said that this is not the first time that he has had to camp outside in his tour of New England, and he was glad to find the hard concrete to run in on, as on more than one occasion he has got into a soft spot.when he put the ma- chine away for the night and has had to dig it out in the morning. The truck is equipped with engines for demonstrating and has one of them connected to a dynamo on board by which it generates its own electricit for the lights with which it is illumi- nated.

NS FOR $4,000,000 ~ THERMOS COMBINE. Pre Vacuum Flask Compani Plans for a Thermos combination were shown in a cable Cispatch from Southampton in the New York Sun on Friday. It was as follows: Willlam B. Walker, president of the American Thermos Bottle company, who sailed for New York today on the Hamburg-American steamship Imper- companies manufacturing thermos and other vacuum flasks and that he proposes to organize company with a capital of $4,58533§ to take over the various firms. The holding company, he said, will be financed in the United States. He| will return to England in about si weeks to continue the negotiations. H has been in Europe for two months looking over the situation in Germany, England, France and Switerland, Frederic W. Cary, American hermos Bottle has received a letter, which Mr. Walker lieved a worldwide combination of vacuum bottle manufacturers was practicable. Mr. Walker did not go into details in his letter, and Mr. Cary said last night, when the Sun’s cable- gram was read to him, that the plan for a combination apparantly had moved rapidly after Mr. Walker had written the letter. The idea of an international com- bination in the trade has developed since Mr. Walker sailed from the country. - His trlp was taken not to efiect a combination, but to arrange for glass for use in the manufacture of the bottle in the American factor- ies and to look over trade conditions. There are four big companies, oper- ating In as many countries, under the original patents and using the name “Thermose.” These are the Thermos Geselischaft of Berlin, the parent com- pany; Thermos, Ltd., of London, which handles the trade in Great Britain and the British colonies except Canada; the Thermos Bottle company, Ltd., of To- ronto, which handies the trade for Canada, and the American Thermos Bottle company of New York, which covers the United States. The four ‘companjes are afflliated, but are separately owned, except that the American Thermos Bottle com- pany owns 51 per cent. of the $100,- 000 capital stock of the Thermos Bot- tle company, Ltd, of Canada. The Thermos Gesselschaft retains the en- tire continental trade. The other three companies bought the rights for their respective fields from the German con- cern. Mr. Cary said that there was no thought of taking other vacuum bot- tle manufacturers in the United States into the projected _combinatior, be- cause of the anti- laws. There are a number of independent makers of similar bottles in Germany, how- ever, and It is supposed to be these who make up the large part of the options mentioned in the cable. The only so-called independent companies are those in the United States and in Germany. Thus the proposed pian, which presumably Includes the four great Thermos companies and the in- dependent German concerns, would leave only the independent L'nited States concerns as competitors for the world's busines: company ated May 20, in id that he be- DESERTED WIFE WAS GIVEN DIVORCE SHE ASKED.

Our Tariff-Hit Industries. The destructive effect of the new democratic tariff on the industries of Rhode Isiand apears in visible form in this year's assessed valuation of su property reported recently by the board of tax commissioners to the general treasurer for his collection of the revenue therefrom. Last year the corporate excess value of the state’s manufacturing, mercan- tile an dmiscellaneous corporations was $128,107,928.65; this year it is $135,688,- 8§31.568. These values, which are t values of the stock of these corpora- tions over and above what is tangi- ble in their plants and merchandise, are obtained from sworn statements by the responsible managers, verified by DWARD MOTT WOOLLEY has written a little book which every business man should read. It describes that wonder- ful organization of 127 clubs and 10,000 members, the Associated Advertising Clubs of America, whose emblem is shown above. It tells how these rnest and militant clubs have fought with successful vigor against fraudu- lent and deceitful advertising and unfair and unsound busi- ness conditions. It also tells of the plans for the Tenth Annual Convention of the A. A. C. of A, to be held in Toronfo, June 21-25. Write for a copy of this booklet, and information as to the rates for accommodations during Convention week. Ad- dress \ Convention Bureau Advertising Clubs of the tax commissioners. Au accepted as fair measures of the pros- verny of the state’s corporate indus- Thll loss of nearly two and & half million dellars in the last twelve months means, therefore, that since the new tariff got into full operation the industries of Rhode Island have lost just that much in money- capacity—in other words, the demo- cratic gchedules of customs gu have in one short year taken from the state that much wealth. It is not unlv the owners of the industrial property who suffer: it is the state treasury also, and hence the service which the state government can give. to the ‘people. That it is a tariff hostile to domes- tic industry that has caused loss admits no question. With imports cotton cloths doubled under the Wil- son-Underwood law, as from $721,9502 in value in March, lfill to 31, mm in March, 1914, and with imperts woolen and worsted cloths lncr-.ned in value at the rate, for example, of from $328,974 in March, 1813, to $1,396,910 in March, 1014, it 'was in- evitable that Rhode Island mills should be less prosperous and Rhode Island mill stocks les§ valuable. The new democratic tariff has al- ready stopped the increase of wealth in Rhode Island; continued in operation indefinitely it would mean the induss trial ruin of the state.
