Norwich Association -Begins With 180 Organizers Well Pleased With Way the Public Has Tak- -+ en Hold of the Plan. ‘Subscribers to-the Norwich Bullding & Loan association whose organiza-~ ton was undertaken ‘several momthe ago under the auspices for- wich Chamber of Commerce have just begun to make their monthly pay- ments on the shares which make the first series which the association is- sues. The organizers of this new en- terprise are very much gratified to find that theb serles of shares starts with 50 olders represent- ing a total of 180 shares, which they say compares very favorably with the experience of similar bullding and loan associations. It is anticipated also that this num- ber of shares and shareholders may be increased before the next yearly series is started as it is possible for new shareholders to enter a current series at any time before a new series has started. This they do by paying up for the months that have elapsed between the time of the opening of the series and the time they enter it. But after a new series of shares has been begun, the former series is de- clared closed and there.can be no fur- ther entries of new shareholders in it. The shares, which are. taken at $1 per month, mature in 12 years, and at that time the shareholder is paid $200 for the $144 he has Paid in. New serfes of shares are issued at half yearly periods at such times as the board of management determine. It is possible for shareholders to borrow on their shares, paying inter- est on the loan, and the progress of the business of the association busi- ness is shown monthly at the regular meetings held on the third Tuesday of each month. One of the points about that was commended by the officers of Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. of Massachusetts, ST. PATRICK'S STUDENTS TAKE THE PRIZES. Two Norwich Girls d the State in Mt. St. Joseph Seminary Examina- tions. Two of this vears graduates of St. Patrick’s parochial school and the only ones from here to take the entrance examinations for Mt. St. Joseph semi- nary et Hartford, have brought honors to their school and great credit to themselves by winning the highest Dprizes in the entrance examinations. They are Miss Mary Virginia Dris- coll, daughter of Policeman and Mrs. Timothy J. Driscoll of 38 1-2 North CIift street, and Miss Anna Madeline Ricrdan, daughter of Mrs. Jeremiah Riordan of 129 Orchard street. Out of the 26 pupils from parochial schools all over the diocese Who took the entrance examinations, Miss Dris- coll made the highest standing, giving her the scholarship and tuition prize, which entitles her to free tuition and board for the four years of the semi- nary course. Miss Riordan took the second prize, which gives her free tuition for the full course. it is an Interesting fact that in rank in the graduating class at St. Patrick's school the positions were reversed, Miss Riordan being first and Miss Driscoll second. AUTOS HAD CLOSE SHAVE AT TRADING COVE. Jitney and Touring Car Scraped By With ©nly Paint Between. . Ome of the several jitney 'buses that operate out of Frankiin square whtih- ersoever the man with the fare desires 10 g0, had a reasonably narrow escape —or at least its occupants had; the car itself was of a certaln make which those who debated the possibilities af- ter the survivers got home and told their tale of woe argued couldn’t have been hurt anyway—it's never “busted,” and always comes out on top, theoret- ically at least. The thing took place Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock at Trading Cove, where the highway runs through the valley, the scene of a fatal accident a year ago. It is not a wide piece of road, and at the critical moment the jitney was going south and a big touring car and a Shore Line electric work car were coming in tow- ard Norwich. The three passed abreast. The jitney was on the outside, and its passengers held their breath while it scraped by with just a gentle grazing of the other car. Inwardly they had visions of an aeroplane trip into the ravine. One of the lucky passengers was Richard F. Pendleton of Franklin street, and his friends are congratulat- ing him on his good fortune. He was on his way to Mohegan with Mrs. Maria Fillmore, who had been on a shopping trip to this city, and was on her way to her home the! SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

The party filled a special car leaving Franklin square at 9.15 o'clock and came back at 6.15. They had all the amusements that the beach offers. A good number of the people went into the water, and some of the more hardy said that it was warm. There was a nice lunch, and the success of the excursion reflected credit on those who directed it, these being Miss Mary A. C. Avery, Mrs. Henry T. Arnold, Mrs. Grosvenor Ely and Myron B. Prentice. TRAFFIC FIGURES SURPRISING. 850 Vehicles Passed tha Main Street Corner in Eight Hours. Traffic officer Myron O, Morgan dis. closed some surprising statistics on Friday when he kept count of the au- tomobiles and wagons that went past his station at the Main street corner in the eight hours that he was on duty. He reported a total of $50 in that time, an average of over 106 an hour, or more than one every minute. Rain Blocked Band Concert.

Fourteen applicants were admitted to membership and four new applica- tions were received. It has been cus- tomary during the summer months to hold but one meeting a month, but on account of the large number of appli- cauons that are being received, end the necessity for frequent degrees, it has been decided to hold two meetings a month during the warm period to accommodate the increasing member- ship, FUNERALS.

BEOUSOLIEL'S AUTO PLUNGED ACROSS UNION SQUARE. It Brought Up Court House Wall. While Hensy P.- Beausoliel, the painter, was in the Central Baptist church’ Friday afternoon about follf o'clock looking after the remodeling of the seats which he is to finish, bis 3200 pound automobile started off from the place where he had left it in front of the church and went plunging off across Union square till it brought up against the stone wall by the side of the court house steps. Mr. Beausoliel is positive he set the brakes when he left the machine and things some boy must have tampered with it. The down hill grade gave the au- tomobile good momentum as it travel- ed backwards across the squate and when it hit the wall it drove in two big slabs in the wall and _knocked down the smaller stones which form a backidg to the granite slabs. One of the globes by the side of the court house steps was brpken. A hole stove in the takn was the principal damage to the automobile, as a spare tire on the rear of the ma- chine served as a shock absorber add protec#d the body of the machine. l Incidents in Society I Mrs. Kirk H.

The range being obtained, the facts are communiceted to the battery commanders and the guns quickly set for the range and distance indicated. Then comes the insertion of the fuses that make possible the explosion of the projectile. The fuses are gradu- ated In yards. For instance, if the target sought is 2000 yards away, the fuse is Cut off at the point where the figure 2000 shows. It is & hundred- to-one shot that the projectile will burst at the distance desired. The same issue of The Field Artil- lery Journal also has some interesting details of the value of aeroplanes in the determination of distance and other necessary facts for their artil- 1 commanders. From _contemporaneous says The Journal, fleld artillery fire control, by means of aeroplanes, can be divided into three general classes. It is obtained by wire- less telegraphy, by the ald of smoke bombs, and by visual signals. “By means of wireless telegraphy one Emglish officer performed the al- most incredible feat of putting a bat- talion of fleld artillery successfully on nine different targets in about two hours. This was near Ypres. “The German and French methods are also very successful. When th aeroplane is directly over the target the pilot drops a smoke bomb. The battery commander, who has been fol. lowing the aeroplane with scissors in- strument and _self-contained base range-finder, takes a reading at th instant the bomb is dropped. He thus has all the necessary information to open searching fire.” The French also depend to a certain extent upon signals displayed by their airmen. These signals, which are com- municated with the aid of small flags, indicate whether the fire is short or over the target, and other information which it is necessary for the battery commanders to know if their fire is to be effective.
