MAKES SPHINX CLUB. Brown University Honor for Earl F. Wood, Earl F. Wood, junior at Browm uni- versity ,is one of seven to be given the special honor of election to the Sphinx club, which consists of a lim- ited number of members of the fac- ulty, graduate studentd and seniors. Qualifications for membership are genuine and varied intellectual inter- est combined with achievement or spe- cial promise in some one branch of study.

Judge A, G. Bill was searching Mon- day for a location for a department ptore that is desirous of locating in Danielson. Suitable stores for such & concern are very scarce in Danielson at this time, or, in fact, it is practi- cally impossible to flnd one. It is possible that the desire of the con- cern to locate here amay result in giving Danielson a new business block in the northerly part of the Main street business section on a site that has been considered for such a pur- pose a number of times within the past few vears. DOUBT HEART ATTACK THEORY. Belief That J, Kenneth Nealey Sufc fered from Sudden Cramp. Parents of J. Kenneth Nealey, drowned at Old Killingly pond Sun- day, have been located at Hampden Heights, Me., and are expected here to claim the body. The theory that Nealey suffered a heart attack Is not rccepted as wholly correct, if at all, by persons who have investigated the case and they are more inclined to. the belief that a severe cramp was re- sponsible for his death. For his age, Nealey had an exceptional physique. He was magnificently developed and there was nothing outward to indicate that he had a weak heart. ‘Some be- lieve that if he could have been im- mediately brought to the surface re- suscitation would have been possible.

The only livestock on the farm at the pres- ent time is horses, but i00 head of thoroughbred cattle are to be kept there and the herd will prabably have reached a good proportion of its con- templated size this fall. Mr. Brown will build a new dwelling on the farm this/ fall. Rocky Hill—May 20, 1863, Buckley N. Hedges, was .united in marriage with Miss Mary B. Wright of Rocky Hill, at Rock Hill.

PUTNAM County Home Children Invited to Cir- cus—Sudden Death of John Kilborn, Traveling Salesman—Opposition to Property Revaluation Likely—Jit- ney Service to Thompson Popular. There are many mighty happy children at the county home. They have been invited to be guests of the. manager at the circus that is coming to town. An unfounded report, growing out of accidents elsewhere, caused a story to spread about town that a young man had been killed in a metercycle accident here Monday. It is stated that an effort will be made to get the eity to vote an ap- propriation for the improvement of Providence street in the north end of the city. New Signal Tower. A new signal tower is being erected in the railroad yards, just south of the station and between the tracks of the Norwich and Midland main line aivision. Judge Geissler disposed of the cases of three men brought into the city court Monday morning on intoxication charges. Two were sentenced te jail, the other to pay a fine and costs amounting to about $20. Italy’s entrance into the war has caused another boom for the news- dealers.

The jitney servicy to Thompson seems to fill a want, The service now has a steady patrosage and brings the off the trolley line town into closer relationship with, Putnam as a trading center. Earl B. Dimca, assistant trust officer of the Security Trust company, Hart- ford, was in this city and was greet- ed by the ramerous friends of his boy- hood. Mrs. Dimon motored out with her hustand. They were guests of Mr. an Mrs. Ray C. Bosworth dur- nig their stay. Delay in Federal Building Matter. A Washington despatch says: The Prdnam federal building case is being held up awaiting additional legisla- tions, thanks to the efforts of former Representative Bryan F. Mahan, now postmaster at New London. The plan is to have the present government site in Putnam exchanged for another one. The delay is apt to continue for a year or more. The opinion here is that the delay certainly will be for at least a year. As congress is not, expected to re- convene until next December no ac- tion can be taken as to new legisla- tion before that time and several months of 1916 may elapse, it is said, before the desired legislation can be enacted. Property Revaluation Probable. There are a number of ciréumstanc- es to indicate that the much discussed plan of revaluing the property of the town has not been given up, notwith- standing the fact that previous efforts along that Wne have not met with the success that was expected. It is pos- sible that a well organized propaganda for a rewaluation may be inaugurated in the near fyture and the claimed ad- vantages of revaluation set forth -in detail. A higher valuation with a correspondingly lower tax rate is what many of the revaluation expon- ents_are anxious to bring about. It is _said, that there will also be con- BRINGING WAR SORROWS Many Afflicted Hearts as the Results B of Conflicts Abroad. As the great struggle in Europe pro- longs itself through many months, sorrow after sorrow is being heaped upon mapy foreign-born residents in Putnam ‘and surrounding towns. It is with something akin to dread that most of those who have relatives abroad now receive a letter from their old homes. Every mail brings them new tidings of relatives killed and wounded, homes destroyed and loved ones suffering the bitterest anguish. These tidings follow relatives here in- to the shops, schools and even the convents. The burden is constantly becoming greater for them to bear and there are some cases of nerve-strain htat are pitiful as the result of wor- ry over relatives who are soldiers and in daily danger of death. This condi- tion is not confined to any one na- tionality represented here, but em- braces all, of the leading peoples en- gaged on both sides of the war. Postal Savings Regulations. . _Postmaster Alexander Gilman has issued the government's new regula- tion relative to postal savings ac- counts and setting forth that every person. in the United States, if ten years of age or over, may open a postal savings account after June 1.

The recital given by the pupils of Miss Amelia Sanford Monday evening in St. Paul's hall was very well car- ried - out. Following was the pro- gramme: I Begin, Miss Mary Burke; Btude, The Fable, Climbing Blossoms, Mis: Mary Borden; written work: Bar test, Misses Burke, Borden and Campbell; arranging hymn tunes, figuring the melody and basses, Misses Oates and Sykes; inner voices, 7ths and inver- sions, Fred Cooper and Miss Bessie Taylor; Spring in Italy, Miss Mary Burke; Dancing Daisies, Miss BEveiyn It’s Easy to Peel Off I All Your Freckles The contrast between the freckles and the clear skin usually is so great that no bleach can be more tlally successful in obliterati: than par- the dis- figurements. Ordinary mercolized wax is far better; it literally peels off the freckles. Get an ounce of it at the nearest drug store and tonight spread on enough to completely cover your face; remove in the morning with warm water. Repeat daily until every freckle has disappeared. Rough, blotchy, pimpled skin, also common at this season, may be entire- ly gotten rid of by this same method, without discomfort or inconvenience. The effort is decidedly worth while, the new complexion obtained being so clear, smooth and youthful, othered with ‘wrinkles, bathe the face in a lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. This is the most effective and quickest-acting wrinkle treatment known. LIBRARY CONTEST Bulletin Name-of Contestant......... .
