Five-year-old Fell While Playing on Adelard, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Charron, of 32 Spring street, was drowned in the Wil- limantic river shortly after noon Sat- urday, and aithough every effort was made to resuscitate the boy, no results Were obtained. . The young fellow was_playing a companion, Bverett Jacobs, seven years old, near the bank on the Rail- road street side of the river, just be- low the Central Vermont freight sta- tion, when he lost his balance and fell in. 'A boy who was passing on the footbridge at the time saw the Jacobs boy crying, and the Charron boy in the water. He ran at once toward the armory on the other side of the river, calling out that there was a boy in the river. Frank Gallagher, Daniel Shearer, James Cochrane and Henry Allen has- tened to the spot, and the latter went into the water at once, and brought the boy to shore. Mr. Cochrane hast- ened tod put in an emergency call, and Drs. O’'Neill and F. M. Smith respond- ed, working over the body for nearly an hour, and doing their utmost to bring back some sign of life, but to no av: The remains were turned over to Un- dertaker Martineau for burial, after Dr. L. 1. Mason, medical examiner, had viewed the body and pronounced death due to accident. Such accidents as that of Saturday, when a bright, sturdy little fellow of five years lost his life by drowning in the Willimantic river, elways awaken sympathy, but unfortunat > goes by and nothing is done. o1d School and Home Week coming on, and a list of what is needed in Willimantic drawing many suggestions daily, one which has been urged by several of the physicians more than once, should be considered. That is a pulmotor, which is be very efficacious in res: cases such as this, as well overcome by smoke, and other tal deaths. A good pulmotor does not cost over $135, and if it saved but one fe in 10 years, it would be worth many times what it cost. There is no reason why Willimantic could not have such an appliance, kept in @ conven- ient and accessible place, always ready for use. To Enforce Statute. After waiting what he considered a reasonable length of time for drivers to familiarize themselves with the new traffic_ordinance, passed some months ago, Chief E. H. Richmond has issued orders to his men to enforce the pro- visions of the statute strictly. If the law was needed when it was passed, it is doubly needed now, for there is an increasingly large number of vehicles on Main street, and it is strange that more accidents have not resulted, as some drivers are habitually careless of the rights of others, especially at the junction of streets. Several cases were disposed of Sat- urday morning in the police court, of persons who had violated the traffic rules. Alfred Oden of Manefield Cen- ter paid a total of $10.60 for stopping his carriage in the center of Main street to hold a conversation with a men, and refusing to go ahead when ordered. Leroy Wheaton was fined $2 and costs for driving the wrong way on the one-way street just beyond the foot of Jillson Hill, as +was FPhilip Krause for a similar offense. Julius Goldberg, who was caught operating a vehicle on the same street in the same manner, failed to appear, and his cash bond was forfeited. Decoration_has begun for Old Home and School Week. The old bullding, standing before 1860 at the junction of Main and Union streets, and now occupied by J. C. Lincoln’s store was the first to show the national colors, in a tasty decorative scheme, and several others fell in line at once, in- cluding Mayor Dunn’s store on Rail- road street and Demer’s restaurant. An out of town concern has opened quarters on-Church street, to do this work, and from now on the city will begin to take on more and more of a festive appearance as the time draws near for the big celebration. Children’s Day Exercises. Children’s day was observed Sun- day in the Congregational, Methodist and Baptist churches, with special music, recitations, baptismal service, speaking, and so forth. At the Congregational church the service took the place of the regular morning service, while in the even- ing Rev. DeLoss Love of Hartford gave an illustrated lecture on the work of the State Humane society. he Methodist church also observed the day at the morning service, while at the Baptist church the service was held at seven in the evening, with a well arranged programme of recita- tions and songs. Mill Teams Tied. The Dye House and No._ 5 Mill are tied for the lead in the Mill league as the resuit of Saturday’s play, both teams winning and having a clean score to the present. In the first game the Dyers started off to make a walk away of the game, scoring twelve runs in the first three in , but No. 3 got to Martin lat- er and nearly evened things up. Mar- tin helped to win his own game with five hits in as many times at bat, two of them two-baggers. The winners also made four double play: In the second game, Noel of No. 6 and Madsen of No. 5 had a pitchers’ battle, with the luck about even until seventh, when the former was warned about keeping his foot on the rubber. nd went to pleces, seven runs coming over in that and the eighth in- ning.

Owing to the lack of building stone and almost total lack of wood of any kind in one of the interior districts of Turkey, all houses in both town and country are built of mud bricks called “kerpitch,” which is a mixture of mud and straw. The houges are not large and part of them Is always used for the stable, one or two rooms only being reserved for the use of the fam- ily, which lives in the simplest and most primitive manner. Every one sleeps rolled up In & blanket on the earth floor. Salt wells in China have been oper- ated for hundreds of years, and in the Tzelinching district, especially, have built up a properous community. In some cases the wells are 300 feet deep. The salt is obtained in the form of brine, which is raised in bamboo tubes by means of crude derricks, the mo- tive power for which is furnished by water buffaloes. Sutter county, California, is exper- imenting with licorice. The growth already made is satisfactory and a good crop is expected this year. Over 1,000,000 pounds of the root were im- ported in the fiscal year of 1913, in ad- dition to a great quantity of paste.

Ideal weather favored the third an- nual field day held under the auspices of St. Paul's church Saturday. The running events were under the care of James Booth and Zeck Tetlow, and both lived up to the reputation they es- tablished in the two previous meets. Most of the events were handicap races and it is a hard proposition on the hands of the handicapper, especially in an unsanctioned meet where records and time of past performances are un- available, to do justice to all the en- trants. The races began at 2.30 with the marathon. There were 10 starters in this race. It proved to be one of the interesting and close races of the McCluggage took the lead at the start and held it for about three-quar- ters of the distance.
