The M-1 is the first American sub- parine to answer a demand for large undersea craft with a surface speed sufficient]y high to enable them to op- erate in conjunction with a battleship fleet. She 1 185 feet long over all and is expected to develop a surface speed of 16 knots. She carrles four topedo tubes and one three-inch gun, which is mounted on the forward deck. She is equipped with a new type of heavy oll engine, which s expected to give her a cruising radius of 2,500 mtles. It Wwill be easy to double this steaming distance because of the plen- tiful distribution of bases of supply. She puts in other positive claims to distinction in the form of her hull and in having three periscopes. Her hull is so curved as to render it ex- tremely difficult for a vessel rimming her to strike other than a glancing blow. According to Henry R. Sutphen, vice rresident of the Electric Boat com- 1 pany, the M-1 is the first submarine to be equipped with an engine entirely developed in America. The engine op- erates on the Diesel cycle, -but has many important improvements over similar engines installed in European submarines. ~All_the submarines built for the United States government by the Flectric Boat company since the D class have had Diesel engines but they have been modification of en- gines of European design and substan- tiaily duplicate of the German type. The developments and improvements in the motors are the work largely of Gregory C. Davidson, who for many vears has experimented with the type of Diesel engine manufactured by the New London Ship & Engine Co., a branch of the Electric Boat company. This type is known es the Uuremburg Diesel motor. s In the engine with which the M-1 is equippedthe Electric Boat company officers believe Mr. Davidson has solved the problem presented by the demand for a lighter motor turning at a rela- tively greater number of revolutions a minute. At the same time possible difficulties arising from the lightness and coneequent fraility of the motor have been overcome by the transfer of dead weight In the form of ballas which Increases the engine's stabilit: The motors in the M-1 turn at a rate of about.300 revolutions a minute. ica in New Hampshire. Mica mining in the United States commenced in 1803 with the opening | of the Ruggles mine in Grafton County, H., and until mica mining began in rth Carolina about 1867, New Hamp- re furnished the mica output of the ited States. In 1914 North Carolina ranked first in the value of its mica output, and New Hampshire second. In New Hampshire mica is still obtain- able in considerable quantity from the dumps of the old mines at which ma- terial suitable for small sheets was thrown away 30 yvears ago, and the dumps still to be worked over are large.

The Kingston fair closed Friday, the day being devoted in part to the chil- dren, who were admitted to the grounds free, and there Were special exercises for their edification, before the horse races and firemen's muster were cajled. While the number in at- tendance was not as large as on Po- litical day, still it was a record gath- gring for Friday and the exhibits were kept intact until the fleld even! closed. - In the annual muster of the Rhode Island State Firemen's league there were only four entries each in the hose, reel and engine squirting con tests. The Narragansett Engine com- pany of North Kingston took the draw for the squirting contest and was first to man the brakes. The Hydraulic Engine company of Bristol second, the King Philip fire engine company of Bristol third, and the East Greenwich Fire company fourth. The first draw for the hose reel contest went to the Phenix fire department, second to Rough -and Ready Fire compasy of ‘Warren, third to Narragansett Engine company of Peace Dale and fourth to Fiskville fire department. David Rob- inson of Westerly was one of the Judges.

John Henry_Soloveitzik, a peddler, is the owner of a blind horse which he used in business, ‘but the chances aro that he will get another horse or en- gage in another line of trade. The horse was left alone in Canal street, Friday morning and probably tired of standing under the sun's hot rays, designed to seek a shady place and he mede for the saloon of Joseph Grills. He could not see his way to the entrance and walked against an iron pipe railing with such force that the railing gave way and the horse and wagon were precipitated a dis- tance of four feet. During the fall there was a loud crash of glass from a smashed window on the side of the bujlding and another large sheet of glass on the front, but close to the side window. The horse managed to extricate himself and walked a short distance before stopping. The horse was terribly cut by the glass in the neck and left shoulder, S0 much so that the animal has prob- ably gone the length of his usefulnes: and will be' put to death to relieve his suffering. Dr. Congdon, health officer of the town of Stonington, hap- pened to see the bleeding animal and the owner and others attempting to check the flow of blood. He reported the case to Chief of Police Brown, and Dr. Thomas E. Robinson, veterinarian, was summoned and gave the animal temporary treatment, as he was STORE CLOSED UNTIL 5 P. M.

Carl Snyder, of North Stonington, who has been traveling the broad road to destruction, was before Judse Wil- liams in the Third district court Fri- day and pleaded gnilty to the charge of intoxication. Judge Willlams re- minded Snyder, who is 28 years of age, of the disgrace he had been to his parents for several years, and also of the Rhode Island law which allows a penalty of three years in the state workhouse for persons who are found to be intoxicated within six months. Snyder said he knew of that law, and realized that his actions had been a disgrace, and all that. He -believed there was a turning point in every man’s life, and that he had resolved to reform, to abandon the broad road and seek the narrow path that leads to salvation, if given the opportunity. Judge Williams decided to take a chance Snyder and give him the opportunity he desired to mend his evil He was ordered to pay the costs and was placed on probation. The other cases on the docket were of a civil nature and referred to hook accounts, and they were all continued. Governor Buckml% who attended the fair at Kingston Thursday, gave a dinner to prominent Washington coun- ty republicans in the evening at the Elm club, Narragansett Pler, with a sprinkling of politicians from other sections of Rhode Island. It was an informal affair, a sort of jollification, as it was the first personal meeting between the governor and the repre- sentatives of his South county sup- porters. Westerly was represented by Judge John ‘W. Sweeney, Representa- itives Langworthy and Haswell, John J. Dunn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, Councilman Maurice W. Flynn and Dr. Thomas E, Robinson. The recent death of William Sprague;. former governor of Rhode Island, and the last surviving of the war gover- nors of the Civil war, recalls the fact that John S. Coy, formerly steward of the Crocker house, New London, and for years located in Chicago, but Dow a resident of his native town of Westerly, was the youngest delegate at the republican state convention that nominated Mr. Sprague for governor, and is belleved to be the only one I ing who was a delegate at that con- vention. Mr. Sprague was governor of Rhode Island, 8160 to March 3, 1863, when he resigned to accept the office of United States senator. Governor Sprague went from Rhode Island with the first troops that left the state to serve in the Civil war. Marie Zangrandi, an assistant librarian of the rly public libra- ry, has returned from her vacation of two weeks. Miss Zangrandi was the guest of her sister, Mrs. George S.

While in Manchester, Miss Zangrands attended the wedding of Miss Doris Holt and Ralph Robie. A large truck of one of the oil com- panies with quarters in Westerly met with a mishap in Ashaway, the cause of which originated in Hopkinton, three miles distant. In crossthg the trolley tracks near the line and twine company one of the wheels slid from the axle and naturally there was a sud- den drop to terra firma, bt the driver was not dislodged from his seat and he held tight rein on the horses. In- vestigation showed that the axle nut that held the wheel in place had been lost. Soon after the mishap a team came along and the driver delivered the missing nut, which he had picked up In the ro@dway in Hopkinton. Local Laconics.

Fred Racine, who has been ill, is again attending to his duties at his store, Goldstein Still Missing. Nothing has been heard from Charles Goldstein, the tallor who slipped out of town the other day with about $: of the local townspeople’s money. Goldetein was running what was known as a suit club. He invited about 40 men and young men to contribute $1 per week for a number of weeks and at the end of the specified time each would recelve a suit or overcoat. In order to get the people interested, Goldstein drew a name of one of the members of the suit club every week and the lucky member would receive his sult without further pecuniary out- jay. The club members had pald in anywhere from 35 to 37 each when the tailor skipped. One member had paid $16 in advance on a hard luck story of Goldstein. The fellows who paid their g0od money into the bunk scheme are wondering what can be done in the matter. In the meantime a Norwich tailor has acquired Goldstein's establishment and is carrying on business. Some of them have the convertible collar for either gigh or low neck effect.
