The letter stated that several days ago there appeared in New Britain a womn representing herself as a so- licitor for the Newark Rescue Home of Newark, N, J. The matter came to the attention of the chamber of cemmerce and a telegram was sent to the Bureau of Associated Charities of Newark which answered thaat the bome was not endorsed by the board of trade and “no good reason for so- liciting outside of Newar! the woman used received a contribution, desiring same thid year. ,The letter further states that hould this woman ap- pear in your city, we would advise calling in the police and having a thorough investigation made.” The matter will be brought up at the chamber of com- merce meeting when it discusses the question o fcharities endorsement. —_—— Higher Degree For Him. .

Chief Stanton re- in from box 28, Eleventh street and Cen- tral avenue, for the same fire. Who= ever pulled in the box was apparently unfamiliar with the method, for the hook was not pulled all the way down, and this caused a good deal of con- fusion in counting the box. At the Central station the first number regis- tered was 9, and two strokes came in close that they were almost undis. :&m After completing the four rounds, and while the courthouse bell was striking the box number, the f Began to ring all over egain, this time eending In the corgect num- ber éach time. The autochemical made a fast run to fhe fire, which was extinguished with two small cans of chemical and part of the chemical in the big tank. The Greenevillé firemen had a line of hose | bul down up Central avenue, but didn’t have to use it. The fiooring, front seat and hood of the automobile were quite extensively damaged by the fire and heat, but the mahine is not beyond repair. The ma- Rire bore the license number 260D and is owned by Joséph Nicardo of Frank- lin street. who but recently purchased it at the Imperial garage. Mr. Nicardo Wes opeérating & Jitney line between Franklin square and the carbarn and at thé time ths fire started the machine was drawn up alongside the curbing on Central avenue near Thirteenth street. It is sald that boys throwing firecrackers under the auto are respon- sible for the blaze. The Greeneville firemen responded to the call and the Main street company responded when the alarm rang for the second time. People on foot and in automobiles crowded Central avenue during the fire. Chlef Stanton was taken to the fire in James L. Hubbard’s six cylinder tour- ing car, which Mr. Hubbard had placed at the chief’s disposal for the expected holiday fires. Mr. Hubbard, who was on duty Monday at the Central station, drove the car Himself. Fair Grounds Races Postponed. The rain on Monday morning had a dampening effect on the celebration of thé holiday by many people. The weather outlook was so discouraging that the manégement of the Connecti- cut Amusement association decided to postpone the motarcycle and horse races until Saturday afternoon of this wéek. The officials were considerably disappointed, for they had a fast lot of here in the city for the profes- sional races, but they are consoling themselves with the thought that by Saturday the list of riders already an- nounced, most of whom are expected to be on hand at the end of the week, will be augmented by men who have been racing at the Saratoga meet. The track was in fair condition Monday in spite of the rainfall, but things in gen- eral weer rather damp and unsatis- factory. Arrested for Shooting Revolver. For the police the day was marked FOURTH OF JULY DINNER, Supt. Chapman Had Holiday Repast For 75 People at Almshouse. The 35 inmates of the almshouse en- joyed their annual Fourth of July din- ner on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the menué including roast lamb, green peas, potatoes, white bread, frosted cake, lemonade, candy and tea.

Vaudeville and Photoplays. ‘The_Pekin mysteries, presented by Han Ping Chien and his associates, were the hollday vaudeville feature at the Davis on Monday and the photo- play, The Outcast, was the headline film. Both attractions pleased thorcughly Independence Day¢houses that totalled over 2,500, according to Manager Craig’s conmservative count. In the afternoon standing room was not toc ample, so large was the crowd, and Mana Craig distributed 500 American gs to as many children in the house. Then he ran out of them, and had to procure more of them for the evening. The Chinese company put on several tricks that the people espeeially fa- vored. They pulled marbles out of one another with ease, and then out from beneath his black cloth, ronchalantly moved around and then spread in front of him, Han Ling Chien producéd a bowl full of water two feet across. Right after this, he pulled out another, containing a full- sized white duck. One of the Chin- ese also had a fine balancing act, which merited applause. Mae Marsh, in The Outcast, was an affecting herdine in a strong and well- told film story that led from a life of misery in the slums to one of joy and love back at the old home.

The wild pinks have devel- oped two sets of stamens, one above the otheér, so that if one misses the transfer of its pollen, the other is likely to supply the resulting defici- ency. The wild pink finds its cup- board of sweets a fair mark for many tiny insects that are large enough to drain its cup of nectar and yet too small to bear away the flower's pol- len to some distant mate. So it has rl’oflded an effective lock and key to ts pantry. This lock and key is a gummy, viscid fiuid that the pink se- crets and spreads around the sticky stem below the flower. Neo fly that ever alighted upon a piéce of man- made fly-paper was more certainly and sureiy brought to an untimely end than the ant that essays to sip the nectar of the wild pink. Thus we can see that the fly-paper idea is not man’s invention at ail, but an idea borrowed from a flower. “Fighting her way across the Amer- ican continent, black-eyed susan has proven the master of the allied forces of man and nature.
