NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, WARCH 16 1915 DOUBLY PROVEN Norwich Readers Can No Boubt the Evidence. Longer This Norwich citizen testified long ago. Tot@ of quick reliet—of undoubted benefit, The facts are now conflrmed. Such testimony is complete—the evi-: dence conclusive, It forms convincing proof of merlt. Mrs. C. Bennett, 46 Palmer St., Nor- wich, says: “Some years ago one of my family suffered from backache, Fvery cold he caught settled on his kidnevs and made the trouble worse. His kidneys were disordered, as was shown by the kidney secretions being frregular in passage. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Son's Drug Store, brought prompt relief.” A LASTING EFFECT. At a later interview Mrs. Bennett #aid: “Doan’s Kidney Pills cured one of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no.sign of it since. I willingly confirm -my former endorsement of this remedy.” Price 50c, at ell dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—sget Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Bennett had. Foster-Milburn Co,, Prop: Buffalo, N. Y. NEW STORMY DAY BONNET able, Too, for Auto Wear—Some- thing Smart Seen at Monday’s Opening. St Again Monday the weatherman gntiled on the spring openings, a mild, sunny day turning women's thoughts to new hats. ‘Winter headwear is certainly grow- ing heavy and oppressive, not to eay shabby and faded looking, and the fresh, new, dainy models which the ‘milliners are offering sell on sight. This season something entirely new and eminently sensible and practical is shown for stormy day or auto wear. This is a motor bonnet and veil in one, close fitting, light. becoming. Tt is offered in silk pongee, or in less expen- give linen, and is shown in all the newest tints, sand, Harvard crimson, Belgian blue, rose pink, etc. Itcan be worn_in several ways. A handsome’ dress hat shown Mon- day had 'a basket crown of wWoven white and violet braid, Parma violet brim and for trimming a rich shaded violet ‘plume. Myrtle green hemp was developed in a matty street hat, trimmed with bou- quets of fine roses. There was a flat at the side and for finish a green algret. /One of the handsome hats shown was outing model In sand and pretty nts, its trimming a calla lly_and twisted stem in both shades. With this was worn a graceful vell in the two tints. Effective, too, was a black and white crepe walking hat, rolled at the left side. This had a black and white but- terfly bow and a smart vell with vel- vet ribbon border. An inspection of these pretty hats and_ others which the designers are producing daily is part of the delight ©of epring for every woman.

ACADEMY HAS POTTERY KILN Clay Work by Art Students Can Now be Fired Here—New Impetus Given to This Kind of Work—Successful Re- sults Obtained—Searching Now for Clay in Nearby Territory. A new acquisition to the equipment cf the Academy buildings is the kiln for firing pottery, which was purchas- ed some time in January and has al- ready been used 3 or 4 times with great success. Before this all the work of firing had to be sent away to ono of the Faience companies —for completion. This was a difficult un- dertaking, not cnly because of the frailty of the clay in the unfired state, but also because Faience companies invairably refused to fire students' work. If work 1s not evenly packed, if air holes or foreign matter are left in the clay, an explosion in the firing is bound to follow and the bursting piece of pottery is liable to break and ruin_ ware about it. So teachers and pupils in both the Art school and the Academy are quite enthusiastic over their kiln and a sudden impetus has been given this kind of work. Saturday is Baking Day. Saturday is baking day every where and last Saturday was firing day in the kiln room. It was extremely in- teresting to look through the tiny is- inglass peep holes into the big muf- fle_and fire chamber, and watch the red flames of the ‘burning kerosene turning the green pottery into biscuit. This was accomplished at a temper- ature of 1994 degrees. TFahrenhelt— the point to whi¢h the kiln has.been heated each time thus for. For hard- er ware the temperature would be raised to 2030 degrees. Different slazes, too, reauire different degrees| of heat. In the biscuit firing, the| pleces are packed closely together, frequently pieces being placed one within another. But when glazes are| being fired care is taken that thel pieces do not touch each other and that different kinds of glazes or colors are not placed near each other. Aft- er the oven or muffle is packed, the large crane door is swung into posi- tion and the fuel is lighted n Heated Slowly. The kiln is heated slowly. For the first half hour the oil from the two 5 galion cans drops rapidly. Then a small stream is turned on and this is gradually increased until, toward the end of the firing, at least. 10 gallon of oil are burred in an hour. After the fire has burned about two hours the mutfle of the kiln shows a glow which brightens to a cherry red. At this stage all the drafts are gpened and the fire s increased rap- dly. The muffle soon becomes incandes- cent and then it is necessary to watch the seggers carefully. These are lit- tle cones and act as thermometers. They are a compesition made to melt at various temperatures. Temperature of 2030 Degrees. If the Kkiln is to be fired to 2030 de- grees, cones melting at 1994 degrees and 2030 degrees are put on _little shelves in front of the peep holes, at each end of the muffle. When the segger melting at 1994 degrees begins to drop, careful watching begins for when this cone topples over, the one melting at 2030 degrees begins to tip. It is watched breathlessly and the firing is pushed. When this second cone melts and falls, the firing is done. The heat is then lowered grad- ually. Too sudden a chanze in tem- perature found crack or craze the ware, The kiln is left for 15 hours to become thoroughly cool before it is opened. Two kinds of clay were used in the various pieces. The gray clay made white biscuits and the red clay burned into a buff colored biscuit. Va- rious glazes, opaque and transparent, are used on this biscuit surface. Sometimes the piece is dipped into the color and then the surplus color is drained off. After the color has been put on, the biscuit must be fired again. Both green pottery and glazed bis- cuit were in process of baking the other day, as the glaze was one which required the same temperature as the unfired ware. Otherwise they could not have been put in together. This work in pottery gives excellent train- ing in form and color as well as man- ual skill. Some of the pieces are built up by hand, while many others are thrown on the wheel How Students Begin. Students begin with tile making and hand built bowls. These hand built pieces are more or less limited in form. Thrown pieces can be of great variety. Dexterity in throwing, how- ever, is only acquired _after much practice. The facility for glazing gives the color training which was lacking without the Kiln. The students are now hunting about. town for clay. That which they are using comes from the bed of the Con- necticut river, but they are sure that clay can be found here. As the sam- ples are brought in, they will be test- ed and fired. There was an old pot- tery up town in Colonial days, which must_have used clay from near here. A few days ago the students were amused when some strangers were particularly interested in the ventilat- ing plant in the cellar of the Con- verse Art Gallery, which they thought was the new kiln. Other guests were noticed looking behind screenes and model stands for it. As the kiln is 9 or 10 feet high and weighs 3750 pounds and as it burns 40 galons of oil in a firing and roars at its work, it would not be easy to hide and can readily be found in the Manual Train- ing building, generally at work on Saturdays. RETIRED ENGINEER IS 82 YEARS OLD. Henry E. Barrows Received Congrat- ulations on His Birthday. Hearty corgratulations’ from rela- tives and friends of Henry E. Bar- rows of No. 93 Sachem street, marked the 82nd anniversary of his birth which occurred on Monday. Mr. Bar- rows was born in Windham, March 15, 1833 and for more than 60 years was an engineer on the Norwich and Wor- cester railroad. He well remembers carrying_troops to the transports at Allyn's _Point during the Civil war. Later Mr. Barrows was engaged in the plumbing business for many years. He has since led a retired life. = Mrs. Barrows, who was Jane R. Stead, is a native of the Falls, where she was born on November 11, 1832. Mr. and Mrs, Barrows were united in mar- riage on January 1, 1855, and they have one son, Willlam H. Barrows. Mr. and Mrs. Barrows are both enjoy- ing good health. Compare Camels with MAKING PLANS EARLY FOR COMING FAIR.|~ Between Twinges of Neuritis, Secre- tary Beckwith Discourses on the Farmer’s Big Event, Wiliam W. Beckwith, secretary of the New London County Agricultural society, has been confined to_ his home by a very severe attack of neuritis, but is now somewhat improved. Although_still suffering from this painful malady he nevertheless found time to discourse volubly to an in- terviewer regarding the next county fair, It might seem to some people, he said, “as if it was rather early to talk about an affair that is not to take place until late in-the summer, but i vou have followed the war news closely you will remember that each of the nations involved in the fray accuses the others of having their plans fully prepared at least a year before they actually came to blows. And so it is with the County Fair officials. _ Last year the general con- sensus of opinion was that the fair was a bigger and better one than it's predecessor and 50 We are starting in early—kind of taking the time by the. forelock, as it were—and arransing. our plans now. Of course it_is altogether too early to say any thing definitely about the actual programme of the fair but you can rest assured that it is going to eclipse all previous efforts and malke. them seem as far behind the times as the rude tallow candle of our fore- fathers when compared to the incan- descent Jamp of the present day. The New London County Fair is first and last an agricultural fair and caters directly to the farmers. They are classed among our best cit- izens—the backbone of our nation. The time is past when a farmer is referred to as a “Hayseed” or a “Rube” and he should be, and is to- dey, looked up to by intelligent and well_informed people as being among our best and most reliable citizens, The time was, when he was the lone and lonely inhabitant of the back- woods or the wide prairie, with noth- ing but a clearing with a log house or sod hut with its slowly curling_smoke to mark his whereabouts. Now in the majority of cases we see him on his farm in a comfortabye home with its large barn and other outbuildings filled to overflowing with the products of the fields and the surrounding hills and pastures dotted with his grazing livestock. The American farmer is today sell- ing more product and for better prices than_ever before. The products of our farms during the year just passed were in excess of normal average; the prices were—ir general—in excess of the normal. Of course it is to be expected that the European war has had a depres- sing effect upon certain manufactur- ing interests and on the other hand, a stimulating effect on other indus- trics: but the facmer should fear no bad yesults. On the hontrary, never in the history of the country has the farmer had such an opportunity to go forward and do things in a big wa. To be sure, there are a lot of dis- gruntled financiers going around try- ing to place a wreath of ivy—poison ivy—on the brow of prosperity and telling everybodys that good times are dead. When a thoroughly up-to- date farmer meets one of these calam- ity howlers he takes out his peashoot- er and shoots him through the place where his brain ought to be with a pea of Optimism. Last year the total value of the na- tion's agricultural products was_ap- proximately $12,000,000,000 and it should be greater than that this year. Just think of all those hunzr on the other side of the globe that will have to be fed and will look to the farmers of this country for the food. If_every mer in the United States would make up his mind to plant a, little more this vear and to raise a few more head of stock, the agricul- tural wealth of our country would be absolutely inconcelvable, at the com- pletion of the year's work. Raise a few more head of cattle or horses in New London copnty and send a few of them to the County Fair and see if we cannot pin a Blue Ribbon on two of them, The city folks are beginning to realize that their country cousins, with their perfect brain and brawn deriv- ed from outdoor exercise in the pure air, with plenty of hard work, plenty of 'sleep, and a bill of fare that con- tains fresh vegetables, eggs, butter and all the various fruits and berries, with this daily mail service and their telephones, and so many other modern improvements—is it any wonder that the city men are beginning to ecry, “Back to the Land are gaining a far greater reward for their labors than the city dweller does.” RECEIVER MORAN’S ACCOUNT FOR FEBRUARY Filed in Superior Court in Matter of the Fenton Building Company.

With addresses by several company heads the “safety first” meeting of New Haven road men Sunday in New Haven brought out between 1,000 and 2,000 workers. President Elliott greeted the men as “fellow employes” and at the opening of his speech said: “I am glad to see that there are so many different ex- ecutives from various departments of the road on the program as speak- ers.” The speaker than told the men that the 26,000 stockholders, of whom about 21,000 held less than 50 shares, were their real emplovers. He said that if these people had the courage and con- fidence to invest their money in_ the road they should do their part to keep down the amount of money lost through accidents. President Elliott then presented statistics showing the large number of people who travel over the road each year, and also to show what a small amount of money saved in one way or another by each man would do toward decreasing the over- head expenses during the vear, In closing, President Elliott said: “The country is beginning to realize the‘importance of raiiroads and bright- er days are coming for the railroads in the United States, New England and for the New Haven road.” General Manager C. L. Bardo, troduced by the chairman as the “boss,” read statistics showing the great’ decrease in the number of em- ployes dismisseq since the safety first movement started in 1913, as compared with the previous year. Mr. Bardo talked in a practical manner on the subject of safety first. He told the men they should follow the rules for the sake of their welfare and that of thelr families. In the first place' an accident causes anguish and suffering to the victim or his family, and train accidents through the negligence of employes cause loss to_the road. Other speakers were J. C. Sweeney, general attorney for the system, who spoke on the legal aspects of acci- dents, and W, P. Sturtevant assist- ant claim attorney of the Lackawanna road. The opening address was made by the chairman, Conductor F. A. Shutes, who welcomed the railroad men pres- ent on behalf of the reception com- mittee. He asked the emploves to carry on the safety first movement with en- thusiasm and closed with a request for three cheers and a tiger for the New Haven road, to which the men responded with a will. A. R. Whaley, wice president, spoke of the increased efficiency which the safety first movement had brought with it and mentioned that while the road hag been through somewhat troublous times of late the movement was doing much toward decreasing the operating expenses. 'WILL AND INSURANCE POLICIES FOUND IN SAFE. Opened After 12 Years Revealed Pa- ' pers of the Late John Dunn of Ni- antie. in- ‘When a safe that had not been opened for 12 years was opened at Ni- antic on Sunday morning by Charles 'B. Ranb of New London at the re- quest of the present owner, George A. Sheflot of Niartic, the will of the late John Dunn of Niantic and insurance policies amounting to about $3,000 were found in it. Up to this time it had not been known that these exist- ed. Mr. Dunn formerly conducted a car- riage shop there and the policies were taken out by him in favor of his two daughters. The history of the safe is an inter- esting ore. Mr. Sheflott, who is the proprietor of a grocery store in Ni- antic, bought it from Joseph Burn- ham, son of the late L. H. Burnham, who built the tcwer at Pine Grove. He mado the purchase, not altogether willingly, over a year ago. It hap- pened this way: One day more in a spirit of fun than anything else, he made Mr. Burnham an extremely low offer for the lccked safe. Mr. Burn- ham promptly took him up and Mr. Sheflott, not desiring to be included in the quitter class, stood by his prop- osition, paid the price agreed upon and had the safe put in his barn, where it has since remained. It has not been opened since the| death of L. H. Burnham in 1902. Mr. Dunn_diea seme time prior to_ that, according to Mr. Sheflott. With the policies, which ~were in a Hartford company, were receipts _indicating they had apparently been paid up to the time of the holders death. Mr. Burnham, Mr. Sheflott stated, owned the building cccupied by the Dunn carriage business. Presumably the safe came into his possession in this Mr. Sherfiott does not know the present residence of the daughters of Mr. Dunn, but he intends to make inquiries and also to communicate with_the insurance company. The rea- son for having the safe opened at this time was the fact that the owner de- cided to use it in his business If he could get it in working order. A new lock is all that is now requisite to put it in first class condition. Romantic Wedding. ‘Word has been received in Lyme of the marriage of Mademoiselle Regina Charlotte Quillon and Lucien Abrams in New York city on Friday last. After a short wedding trip they will return to Lyme, where they will occu- py the brick house on Lyme street, formerly the home of Artist E. Gregory mith.
