From the rfumber of complaints of barrels stolen that have been received recently by the police, it looks as if some Norwich boys think the law on barrels is off; but it isn't and reports of barrel stealings now will be vigor- ously followed by the police to bring the offenders into court. The excuse that the boys are “swip- ing” barrels for Thanksgiving will not be accepted now for the open season on barrels has not begun. As Thanks- giving approaches, it is the custom to look for some lemiency upon barrel raids, but it is too soon for that yet, So that if the boys do any barrel stealing now they can expect to see a blye coat after them, for the closed season on barrels is sfill on. It looks to the police as if the pres- ent complaints may be caused by a practice that some persops are adopt- ing to zeplenish the family woodpile. This way of getting material for the wood box has got to be stopped. Bicycle Stolen. William Gavine, a boy who is em- ployed at the Manhattan Co., had his bicycle stolen from the spot where he had left it on Broadway in front of the So-calied Osgood building, Thursday morning sbout 9:15.

Rebbins of Led- yard. Henry D. Johnson, president of the county association, spoke on coun- ty and district work. District No. 2 had attained the 13 points of the dis- trict standard and therefore was a front line district. The county hos thus attained 10 points of the county standard. If 30 per cent. of the schools in the county are represented at the annual -county convention which wiil be held in Norwich on Oct. 7, the county will have attained the 1ith polnt. Last year it did not attain this point because there were three schools short of 30 per cent. The 12th point is the home department. Thus far there bave pen foported 43 home dephst- ments in the county. The county stan- dard requires that 40 per cent. of the schools should have home departments and in order to have the 40 per cent. the county must have three more home departments. If this point can be at- tained, the county will be a front line county. . Wallace 1. Woodin, state secretary, gave an interesting address on the subject Responding to the Heavenly Vision, and called the attention to how children were influenced by environ< ment and heredity. ¢ The meeting was closed With prayer by Rev.

Any breaking out or irritation on the face, arms, legs or body when ac- companied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be read- ily gvercome by applying & little boid- sulphur cream, says a noted dermat- ologist. /o He informs us that bold-sulpbur in- stantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the siin clear and smwooth. Bold-suiphur has oc- cupied a secure position for many years In the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of its = parasite- destroying property. Nothing has ever been found to take it's place I treating the irritable and inflamma- tory skin affestions. While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin. Those troubled should obtain at any pharmacy an ounce of bold-suphur cream which Is applied to the affeeted parts in the same manner as an ordi- nary cold cream. It ism't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded, partic- ularly in itching Eczema, proves very welcome. —_— schools were represented by 63 dele- gates. On Wednesday an institute was held at Stonington for district 3, com- prising the towns of Groton, Ledyard, North Stonington and Stonington, with good attendance. FIRE WV CHIMNEY AT BULLETIN BUILDING Seot Caught Fire and Made Brilliant Display Till Firemen Got to Work. After John Hollingsworth, _chlef engineer at the Bulletin building, had ‘lown out the boiler flues on Thursy evening, the soot in the chimney caught fire and sent a big shower of sparks tumbling out of the chimney 0 that the flame and smoke was seen from the street about 9 o'clock and also from the adjoining bullding where Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Hartley fe- side. Mrs, Hartley sent in a telephone call for the fire department and word was also telephoned to the Central sta- tion from the Bulletin office while a crowd gathered in the street and in Durkee lane to —watch the display which was brilliant though not very dangerous. " The autochémical from ‘the Central stgtion Chemical Company No. 1 from the Main street jon respond- ed but only the services of the auto- chemical crew were called for and the other crew returned &t once to the. Main street station. A large tank of chemical discharged down the chimney when the line had been hauled to the roof with a Tope put an end to the fire at once, but alsa caused a back draft which shot the blazé out in the cellar where a small tank of chemical was used, and the trouble was all over in a few minutes affer the firemen were on the scene. FABRIC_AND FUR COMBINATIONS Some of the Caprices of Fashion This Season—Hues That Are Popular— Knots of Flowe: a Smart Finish While greens, black and white, and African brown hold high place in Fashlon's favor this season, blues and plums are by no -means lacking in popularity. A beautiful suit which would win admiration anywhere was shown yes- terday in wistaria—a handsome hon- eycomb weave. The tailored skirt was severely plain. The coat was lons, with wistaria velvet collar, and at the waist a fancy ormament. Deeper in shade was a plum crepe de chine dress, its distinctive feature a smart long tunic. The sleeves were of the modish long pattern. An or- gn%te vest and collar gave a smart ‘ombinations are a feature of the season’s_styles.

Crepe meteor in taupe was de- veloped in a basque dress, with Rus- sian tunic, accordion plaited skirt and a strikingly modish girdle in colorsd silic embroidery. The collar was of white Ottoman silk and a saucy little rose gave the finishing touch. By the way, these roses, as well as knots of other flowers, velvet fruit, etc., are often added as a chic touch to smart gowns. This was noticeable in a Russian green dress in soft silk, with black velvet basque, platinum buttons and white collar. On one lapel was perch- ed a knot of velvet cherries in several shades, A close rival of the liked hunter’s, Russian and Nile greens is myrtle, which was shown Thursday in a fetching suit. This had a yok a coat with full shirring giving a Rus. sian effect at the back and having & modish collar of narrow skunk fur. Novelty and elegance met in a plum worsted suit, with plain skirt. The big hit was'made with a hunters coat having raglan- shoulder, patch pockets conspicuous below the coat length and trimming of fancy buttons. What is What in Furs. Who sald furs?

Party Looking for Hebees Wers Fired on from Stinson House. A party of policemen who were searching for hoboes in the neighbor- hood of the Falls early Wednesday morning had a shot fired at them froi the house occupied by Edward F. Stin- son and family at 50 Monroe streel. The bullet from a rifie which was fired from & bedroom window whistled uncomfortably close to Poliseman Henry Fenton, who was nearest to the house. The shot took them entirely by sur- prise, as there was no word epoken nor challenge given before the rifle was fired, and they were over in an adjoining lot at some distance, which they had entered after having passed around the house before that. From the voice that they heard when they went back to expostulate the police were of the opinion that it was Captain Stinson who fired, but he bas denied that he the one, for he was on duty at the station that night. “The occurrence should serve &s a warning to those who keep firearms on hand to be more than careful when they fire it night and make sure that they are shooting at someone wio de- serves a bullet. In the squad of policemen were Ser- geant A. C. Matthews, Policernen Hen- Ty Fenton, Patrick Murphy, Timothy Driscoll and John Royston. Continuation in Milk Cass.
