Patrons along the trolley line be- tween New Lohdon and Willimantic by way of Norwich called on Senatdt B. H. Hewitt and Representative Charles T. Crandall to confer with them with regard' to the copper zone fare system on this branch of the Shore Line Electric railway, soon to g0 into cffect. Arrangements will be made, if agreeable to the Public Utili- ties commission to take up the ques- tion at the same time that the hear- ing on the Groton and Stonington fare increase is continues at Hart- ford on Wednesday. It is possible, however, that the Rublic .Utilities Commission, following _its previous custom, will not consider complaints from the New London to Willimantic division until after the new system has gone into effect. This, at least, was the manner in which the Groton and Stonington matter was treated. It is evident, however, that .there will be opposition to the systes in other instances besides the Groton and Stonington and the Norwich and Westerly divisions of the system. At the hearing at Hartford before the Public Utilities commission on Wednesday important testimony will be brousht out by Senmator Hewitt, who is conducting the case of the patrons of the G. and S., from Thom- s W. Ryley of New Haven, former- superintendent of the Groton and tonington. Mr. Ryley had been sum- moned for the continuation of the hearing at Poquonoc, but there was not time then to hear all the wit- nesses. It is anticipated that it will require more than one day to complete the hearing at Hartford, which commences on Wednesday morning. BRDADWAY BROTHERHOOD HEARD DR. C. D. USSHER.

NORWICH CHAMBER OF OOMHE’ROE YEAR BOOK 1915-1916 Ednlan Made Its First Ap- pearance at Eastern Connecticut Banquet Monday Night. The Norwich Chamber of Commerce year book, 1915-1916, made its first appearance at the banquet of the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee, held at the ‘Wauregan house on Monday evening. Fach diner found a copy of the year book at his cover. In compiling data for this magazine it has been the purpose of the com- mittee to avold as much as possible a duplication of facts, therefore in pre- senting the annual reports of the of- ficers, together with the actlvities of the several bureaus, they feel that in no other way could the information be mord clearly defined. There's a striking contrast between business as applied to Norwich industries at the beginning of 1915 and the opening days of 1916. The front cover shows a sketch of the new Ckhamber of Commerce home to be erected on Main street. The location is ideal, as it has for neigh- bors the Cpelsea bank, Elks’ home, Buckingham Memorial, post office, N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. passenger station, and the general offices of The Shore Line Electric Railway, all of which as duly considered by the board of ctors before taking the step that ill mean so much to the Chamber of Commerce and the city of Norwich. The new quarters will consist of an assembly hall with seating accommo- dations for 100 or over, directors’ room, room for the president and sec- retary, and the prospect of more rooms being made available as the growth of the chamber warrants. The year book which covers 86 pages represents much ihought and work on the part of the publicity com- mittee and is a real credit to the lo- cal chamber of commerce. It includes cuts of the city hall, William A. Som- ers, president of the Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce, Slater Memorial building, the Majestic building, Chel- sea Boat club house and lodge, Joseph T. Cruttenden, president of the East- ern Connecticut Development Com- mittee, Charles A. Pease, the State Chamber of Commerce president, Francis Powers, the 15-year-old win- ner of the essay contest held recently by the Eastern Connecticut Develop- ment Committee, and cuts of local manufacturing plants. Space is given to the annual reports of the various departments of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, the State Chamber of Commerce, the Eastern Coannecticut Development Committee, etc. Much of the compiling for the vear book was carried on under the direc- tion of Herbert R. Branche, a promi- nent member of the local chamber and chairman of the Eastern Connec- ticut Devclopment Committee. The Norwich Chamber of Com- merce, formed to further the civic in- terests of Norwich in every way, has a membership of nearly three hun- dred and represents the will of as many more of the best elements in the community. The membership roster promises to reach the five hundred mark with an income of two thousand dollars per vear in the near future. The work that is being done by this body of loyal citizens is different in aim and quality from that ever be- fore attempted by any similar local organization and vastly more practi- cal and consequentia The organized efficiency of this der, made pos the unselfish personal service given by its mem- bers. NORWICH SENIORS VS. NEW LONDON SENIORS Dual Athletic Meet Will be Held in City by the Sea on March 7—The Program. The seniors of the Norwich Y. M. C.

EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE SYRUP OF FIGS IF FEVERISH, BILIOUS, CONSTI- PATED, GIVE FRUIT LAXATIVE AT ONCE Don’t scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ache-ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give a_teaspoonful of “California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again. Children love this harmless “fruit laxative,” and moth can rest easy after giving it, becau it never fails to make their little “insides” clean and sweet. Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomor- row, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 60-eent hottle of “Cal- ifornia Syrup ‘which has di- rections for hnbln. children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bot- tle. Remember than are counterfeits sold here, so surely lock and see that yours is made by the “California Syrup Company.” Hand back contempt any other fig syrup.
