SALES OF RED CROSS SEALS IN STORES And . at’ Postoffice—13805 Has Been Reported to Miss De Celles as Sold. Miss Mary De Celles, whose services have been secured by Mrs. Robert W. Perkins to have charge of girls placed at the postoffice and at various other places in the city, reported that up to Thursday night 13,805 Red Cross seals had been distributed in this city in this way and that practically all of these have been sold. She has been assisted in the work by Miss Ruth Kind, Miss Isabelle Fenton and Miss Mabel Crumb at the local postoffice. Altogéther these three young ladies have sold 2,800 seals, Miss Kind hav- ing sold 1,200, Miss Fenton 600 and Mise Crumb 1,000. At the Boston store three afternoons this week seals were offered to the shoppers by Miss Mary Ellen Coughlin, and Miss Mary Foley “sold" seals at the Porteous & Mitchell company’s_store. Together they have sold practically =~ 2,000. Other places where the seals have been put on sale and reports received are: Norwich Cemmercial school 1,000, with Miss Theresa Hinlerbrand at J. H. Davis’ store, Laurel Hill, 300, Mrs. Edwin Fay 100 and George Weller, Taftville 100. Additional places where seals have been placed but no reports ren- dered are Miss Jewett's shorthand Rathbone’s drug store with iss Mary Clapp, at Sevin's drug store with Miss Effle Henderson and with Miss Frechette at the Wauregan house. Miss De Celles suggests that every customer who makes purchases at any of the stores where the seals have been placed purchase a few of the seals. In this way the number sold will in- crease materially. Every purchase, however small, is appreciated by those in charge of the work, for the small purchases soon amount to good sized totals.

Three lines of chemical were rushed into the house and used with zood effect while a stream of water was used on the roof, but no water was taken inside the house. The fire was soon under control and the recall was rung about fifteen minutes after the alarm had been sent in. Just as the firemen were starting to pick up the alarm for the fire in Durkee lane was_pulled in from box 33. Captain E. S. Stinson of the auto chemical ime the scene of the second fire.

Mrs. Itkend, who lives upstairs, smelled smoke and investigating found that the house was on fire. She ran out of the house calling “fire” and someone of the several people Who were passing nearby ran to the box and pulled in the alarm. It is claimed that the electric wiring in the house was defective and that the fire re- suited from short circuited wires which were strung. along the wall on nails. The attic was considerably damaged and the furniture in the rooms below vision of the Red Cross seal sales. MAY SEE HER CHILDREN OFTENER THAN BEFORE.
