Y. e e FAMOUS STORY TELLER ADDRESSES SCHOOL CHILDREN Miss Bessie L, Taft of Hartford Tells Them of the Band of Mercy. Miss Bessie L. Taft of Hartford, known among school children in hun- dreds of cities in New England, ad- dressed the children of the local schools Monday. A bright clever young woman, gifted and talented, she made a decidedly favorable impres- sion on the High street school Mon- day morning and in the Broadway school Monday afternoon. Coming to this city under the auspices of the Cohnecticut Humane _soclety, Miss Taft is interesting the children in forming Bands of Mercy. The object is_to_interest children in helpfulness and kindness to people, animals and birds. The past three vears Miss Taft has spoken in 3,279 school rooms be- fore over §7,000 children. Miss Taft has developed to a science the art of interesting children in what she has to say. She presents her talks in a fascinating manner that makes her Yoth pleasurable and profitable. Miss Taft proved herself a master at.the art of story telling. She loves ghildren and is heart and soul in the work of teaching them Kindness to ‘animals—surely a noble worlk in which all_school children should be deeply ipterested. It is safe to say that be- cause of Miss Taft's visit to Norwich schools the children here will be real issionaries in enlisting others in this much-needed work. They will not soon forget the story teller or the story she has to tell. They are all eagerly looking forward to the time when she may come again.

Case of the corporation read his annual report. President Case’s report follows To the Stockholders of the Norwich Industrial Improvement Corpora- tion: Because of conditions in the real estate market in Norwich, no special effort has been made since the last annual nfeeting of this cor- poration to sell additional building lots. The treasurer's report shows that the past year's pavments on account of contracts for lots already sold amount to $1,167.56. At the present time there are contracts still in force, upon which there remains due and unpaid the sum of $1,881.62. Of the 64-lot tract laid out a vear and a half ago the corporation still owns 32 lots, and in addition to this tract there is a large factory site on the New Ha- ven road arjoining the property of the American Thermos Bottle company on the south. The treasurer’s report al- S0 shows the very gratifying fact that there is to the credit of the corpor- ation in banks cash deposits to the amount of $1,726.36. With the increased demand buildings and homes in Norwich for it ANNUAL Norwich Industrial and Improvement Corporation Re-elects e MEETING Contract Discussed would seem to me advisable to attempt another sale of lots as soon as the weather permits, and this matter will be brought to the attention of the di- rectors at an early date. The secretary’s report shows that the American Thermos Bottle company has paid in wages to employes, not in- cluding officials of the company, the sum of $333,324.§§ and has also paid on account of advertising the sum of $94,903.61. ‘With a fair return in the future from sales of real estate, the cor- poration should be in a position to pay a dividend to the stockholders. The following directors were reelect- ed for the succeeding year: Allyn L. Brown, James Jeremiah J. Desmond, ~ Gilbert L. Hewitt, William F. Hill, Martin E. Jensen, Walter W. Lang, Shepard B. Palmer, James B. Shannon, Leonard O. Smith and William B. Young. William H. Allen and C. Smith were appointed tellers by chair. In addition to rendering reports and electing directors for the succeeding vear, the possibility of modifying the contract with the American Thermos Bottle company was considered and deferred. The change in the original contract between the American Thermos Bottle company and the Norwich Industrial Improvement corporation which was discussed is to modify the contract so as to permit the payroll account in excess of $375,000 to be applied to-the advertising account, which does not gTow as rapidly as the payroll acsount. Frederic W. Cary, secretary of the American Thermos Bottle company, who was present as a stockholder, was invited to answer questions relative to the contract and the business of the American Thermos Bottle company. Mr. Cary stated that the Thermos company” did not request any modi- fication of the contract, inasmuch as the company could foresee no difficulty in living up to its terms. At the same time, if the orwich Industrial Im- provement corporation desired any ac- tion in relation to same which would in any way benefit their stockholders, or Norwich, President Willlam B. ‘Walker would be very receptive of any plan or proposition that might be pre- sented to him along these lines. It was in the interest of all parties that there be mutual good will and the Thermos company had no inclination to do anything that could create any spirit of opposition or misunderstand- ing. Mr. Cary stated that the entire fac- tory was in use and 178 employes were on the payroll, which now amounted to $2,200 a week. Mr. Cary read a part of the original contract which explained the situation, Leo Kronig said that there is a gen- eral opinion in the minds of many that the Thermos Bottle company had five years to complete their agreement, whereby they were to expend $375,000 for advertising and $375,000 for wage After what Mr. Jensen had stated and what Mr. Cary had read of the original contract, he thought it should be clear in the minds of all that the Thermos Bottle company are carrying out their part of the agreement fully L. Case, Edward the PRIVATES OFF FOR MEXICAN BORDER. Men From lIsland Forts Sent to Fort Houston. Ten privates of the hospital corps of the United States army left New London Saturday afternoon for the Mexican border. Their specific desti- nation was Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Five of the men were from Fort H. G. Wright, Fishers Island and five from Fort Terry, Plum Island. They were in, charge of Maj. James L. Bevans, medical surgeon at Fort Wright. The men made ready early in the morning to leave for the Mexican bor- der and they went to New London on a morning transport, having two or three hours there before leaving for Texas. They took the 12:50 train for New York. They all seemed to welcome the order to go to Mexico with the pros pect of a litte excitement to relieve the humdrum of the ordinary every- day soldier life. The men in the com- panies at the island forts seemed to envy the hospital corps in being called 0 Close to real excitement. Two weeks ago four men of the hospital corps in charge of Captain Jones left for Fort Houston and last week Captin Jones' mount was sent him by express. There is feeling at the island forts that the troops now in Mexico will be withdrawn. Therefore an order to leave for Mexico is not anticipated there. It would be welcome no doubt. Any one of the several hundred reg- ulars in this district would relish the privilege of personally suspending Villa from a shaddy apple tree. The companies in this district could leave in a very few hours if an order should come. APPEALS FINDING OF THE PROBATE COURT. A. Waller Lewis Claims He is an Heir at Law of Lucy Abby Lewis. A.

Big Problem Confron By far the greatest problem' that has confronted the automobile own- er since the advent of the motor ve- hicle is the present soaring prices of gasoline. For the past six monthe the price of gasoline has been advancing at about one cent a gallon. With gasoline now 20 cents a gallon in the wholesale markets, and with reports from the oil companies and others in- dicating further rises, the 2,500,000 au- tomobile owners in the United States have reason to be thoughtful over the cost of operating their cars this sum- mer. At present gasoline is selling for from 26 to 28 cents a gallon to the consumer in New York city, and the garage men think the advance expect- ed within the next few days will bring the retail mark to 30 cents. By sum- mer it may cost the car owner $4 for fuel for his 150 mile run on a Sun- day—gasoline, it is predicted, will then be 40 cents a gallon. In April, 1915, the wholesale price of gasoline aver- aged 14 cents a gallon, while at the beginning of the present month it had advanced to 20 cents. Retail prices range from three to five cents a_gal- lon over those quoted by the whole- salers. An analysis of the gasoline situa- tion and a review of the efforts made at producing a fuel that can be sub- stituted for this product of petroleum in the operation of motor vehicles have been prepared by the Horseless Age. “That the question of obtaining an adequate supply of fuel at a reason- able price is a matter which is re- ceiving the serious attention of the motorist—the man who pays the piper, but, in this case, does not call the tune —is_unquestioned,” says this well known authority. “It should be added that some of the best brains in the country are busily engaged in trying to solve the problem presented by this ever rapidly increasing mumber of au- tomobilists in the United States and the growing difficulty, as line prices, of furnishing fuel to run them. Sefore considering the possibilities of producing fuels other than the gaso- line of commerce, a brief outline of the actual present position of gasoline and allied industries is of interest, for the reason that the car owner is—for the time being, at any rate—absolute- 1y dependent on this fuel. “Although there are no exact figures showing actual gasoline consumption, an indication of the quantity avail- able for domestic use may be obtained by taking the total production and de- ducting the exports, and on this basis the following calculations, which are based on official figures, will help the gasoline user to realize just where he stands. The quantities are glven in barrels of 42 gallons MYSTIC SHIP YARD SOLD TO PENDLETONS ig Shipping Concern ‘Acquires M Donald Shipbuliding Plant and Will Set 75 Men at Work. Negotlations for the sale of the old McDonald shipyard in Mystic to Pen- dleton Brothers, the big shipping firm, were completed Monday, and transfer made to the new owners by Carlos Barry of New London. The purchasers will start as soon as possible to con- struct two four masted schooners, for which 200-foot keels will be laid down at once. It is expected that work upon these will keep a force of 75 men busy until next January.
