PLANT DISEASES IN CONNECTICUT. Those Which Affect the Field and Gar- den Crops, as Found by Experiment Station Investiga Part six of the report of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment sta- tion at New Haven, just ‘ssued, deals with the diseases of field and garden crops. In one section those which have been previously moticed are discussed, and in another are described some 40 diseases caused by fungi, etc, which have not been found before in this state on the plants named. There is also a paper on diseases caused by ‘eel worms” or nematodeg. A leaf blight nematode has done sgPeat damage to begonlas in this state, par- ticulazly to the Cincinnati variety. The observatlons and experiments of the botanist, Dr, Clinton, indicate that the “powdery scab,” which was thought by some botanists to be a very serious menace to potato growing, is not like- ly to prove a serious pest, at least in this state. i Of great impartance to potato grow- ers is the third report of potato spray- ing tests in Connecticut. These tests are of évecial interest and value be- cause they give the results of 14 years' observation an dexperiment. The general result has been ® that careful spraving with Bordeaux mix'- ture gives suhstantial protection from Diight, the greatest enemy of the grower, and aside from this increases the yield, even in dry years when the blight does not appear, Thus in 13 years' tests spraying in- creased the average yield by 33 bushels per acre. Even in blight-free years the average Increase from spraying was 29_bushels per acre. In all but four of 22 tests the creased yield more than paid c spraying—3$10 per acre—and showed a net gain of about $15. No other appli- cation gave as large increased vield as home-made Bordeaux mixture. On the average, In the 13 years, ridging and deeper planting lessened the rot in blight years. Ridged pota- toes were easier to epray and zave as high total yields and a l1frger vield of first quality than those with level cul- ture. An experiment on the effect of cut- ting out blighted chestaut showed no effect on the rapidity with which the disease spreads. The report concludes with a report of tests of field and garden seeds, made during the last four years. The report of the botanist will be sent to all who apply to the Connecti- cut Agricuitural Experiment station, New Haven. ELECTRIC DEPT. UNABLE TO GET INNER GLOBES Strike at General Electric Plant in Pittsfield Has Stopped Shipments At the regular meeting of the and electric commissioners Supt. hoe presented a letter signed by Kendall, manager of the supply de partment of the General Electric Co., in regard to inner globes that are used in old carbon arc lamps in use by the city. Owing to_the strike that 4s go- inz on at the Pittsfield plant of the General Electric Co.. it is impossible to give shipping data on these arc globes. The writer of an article which appeared in The Bulletin Monday morning seemed to construe the idea that the inner globes need washing. This is not the case as will be seen by the letter. Fifty new lamps have already been instalied and a second consignment of 50 was promised for Sept. 18 but they have not been received as yet. The manufacturers claim that the glass ware is the cause for the holdup. A threcegpeh gas main is being In- stalled on Cirroll avenue and later a gas main will be installed on Fanning avenve off Washington street and on Hedge avenue extension. gas Ke- Mr. ALPHA CLASS ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR Miss Hazel Andorson Chosen Head of | Second Church Society.

Sidewalk hearings occupied the greater part of the monthly meeting of the court of common council in the council chamber on Monday evening. The hearings were on the walks and grades ordered at the last meeting of the council, and there were a number of property owners present to remon- strate against certain provisions of the orders. After the hearings the council took a recess and decided to let the orlginal orders stand with sev- eral changes, The council was called to order -at 8§ o'clock by His Honor Mayor Allyn L. Brown and was immediately ad- journed until after the annual fown meeting held -in_the town hall up stairs so that the council members and any others present might ate tend. Just before ten o'clock the council reconvened. The reading of the min- utes of the last meeting was omitted and they were accepted. Clerk Arthur G. Crowell then read his return of publication on the side- walk changes ordered at the last meeting. Side Waik Hearings Opened. Mayor Brown then declared the hearing open on the lines, width and srades of the westerly side of Union street. Rev. B. S. Worcester, F. J. Leavens and others were heard in ro. gard to the matter. ' Mr. Leavens said he represented several property own- ers, including himself, in that section, and he felt the walks are better than the majority of walks on the city. He thought the work might be postponed until next season owing to the late- ness of the present season, and the short time in which the property own- ers have to complete the walks. Mayor Brown said he thought as much progross as possible should be made this year on the walks. Councilman Babcock asked whether the line is straight or ziz-zags to to followthe offset wall and it was point- ed out that the line called for is par- allel with and twenty inches from the wall, and is as near a stralght line as conditions permit. « Attorney Huntington asked as to the change of grade and Engineer Pitcher said it is very nearly the same as_the present grade. Mr. Huntington, who spoke for the Huntington property thought a five foot walk would answer as well as a six foot walk which is the width of the wall- ordered by the council. As there was no one else to be heard the hearing was then declareq closed and on motion of Councilman Babcock decision was reserved until after the other hearings. The second hearing was in regard to the easterly line on Union street. Miss Lucas, who owns property there was among those to be heard. She asked that a strip of two feet in width be_left to allow for trees. Mayor Brown said the intention was to leave such a strip but that it is felt that this must be abandoned as some of the property owners feel that it would be encroaching on their prop- erty. Waiter Abendroth, who spoke for the Dziomba property was against the proposed curb change. Hearing No. 3 was on the line and width of the walk o nthe westerly side of Broadway. D. T. Shoa, a property owner, asked as to the width of the walk ordered compared with the pres- ent walk and was told it is the same. ThePline and width of the walks on the easterly side of Broadway were then taken up. Judge H. H. Pettls said that it had occurred to him that to lay a granolithic walk up close to the curb would kill the trees, which derive but little nourishment as it is. No one appeared at the hearing on the line and width of the walks or- dered on the easterly side of North Main street. Hearings on Walk Construction The hearings on the construction. of the walks were then taken up one ai a time. W. H. Rogers of Uniongstreet asked how soon it would be before the property owrers could get speci- fications. Engineer Pitcher said that 50 far they ahd been able to supply epecifications as fast as demanded. C. J. Isbister spoke for the New Ha- ven road who hold property on the casterly side of North Main street. Ha said that the company did not feel it necessary to lay a walk there at the present time and were not in a posi- tion to do so. D, T. Shea asked if the laying of the walks was compul- sory and was told that that is the way the orders-read. Clerk Crowell read a communication from ‘Anna Tarrant of San Francisco in regard to her property which is in- cluded in the gseers. She was in fa- vor of a tar or asphalt walk but not in favor of granolithic as ordered. The council took a recess at 11.30 to consider the objections raised. When they returned to the council chamber the mayor announced that the original resofutions with the ex- ception of one or two changes were adopted. The Eliabeth Huntington property on Broadway was dropped from the list for the present. The property owners on the easterly side of North Main street were given an option on tar or asphalt walks. The City of Norwich Gas and Electric de- partment was ordered to read Nor- wich Gas and Electric Company. Carroll Avenue Accépted by City The following resolution by which the city accepts Carroll avenue, was passed: That the deed from Adams P. Car- roil to the city of Norwich, of @ cer- tain strip of land known as Carroll avenue and located on the easterly side_of Broadway, for highway purs poses, dated Sept. 29, 1916, be and the same is hereby accepied by the city of Norwich and that said deed be recorded in the Norwich Land Records, In regard to the motor vehicle law and fire prevention day Mayor Brown had the following to communicate to the council: There are two matters of importance to the city and its citizens which I wish tormention briefly at this time. ‘The Motor Vehicle Law. The first is the manner in which the streets of the city®are used by the owners and drivers of motor vehicles. A number of complaints have been made, and with reason, of the careless manper in which automobiles are handled particularly in the down-town streets of the city. These strects are narrow and often congested by the traffic of trolley cars and other vehi- cles as well as people on foot. In the face of these conditions and in spite of repeated warnings a number of au- tomobile drivers persist in failing to observe the laws of the state, partic- ularly with regard to coming to & before passing standing trolley cars and in_going through crowded streets at an excessive rate of speed. ‘With thé approval of the Police De- partraent 1 propose to strictly enforce this time forward. With the approval of the Police Commissioners instruc- tions have been given through the Chief of Police to the officers on duty to arrest anyone guilty of violating the law in the operation of motor ve- hicles, particularly in the respests above referred to. It seems falr to give this word of warning to the gen- eral public for it is the purpose of the Police Department to make an ex- ample of any offenders who are ar- rested on this charge. I trust that all will cooeprate hereafter in the strict enforcement of the law. Fire Prevention Day. The other matter is that of Fire Prevention Day. Monday, Octoer 9th has been sei aside by National and State Proclamation as Fire Prevention Day, particulerly with the purpose of instructing the school chiidren, and others, in the importance of -Keeping property clear of waste paper and other unnecessary inflammable mate- rial, the accumulation of which in the past has increased the fire hazard For many vears the Norwich Fire De- pertntent has exerted _particular ef- forts along the line of inspection for the prevention of sources of danger of this sort, and the very _creditable record made by our Fire Department fs due in large measure to the care so taken. As an object lesson to the echool children the chief of the fire department, with the approval of- the Fire Ccmmissioners, proposes to give a demonstration with the apparatus from the Central Station on Union Square a_short time before school opens on Monday morning, next. This should prove an important object les- son to the children of the costly equip- men which the city has to maintain in large measure to offset the care- lessness of people ‘which causes a large proportion of the fires with which the department has to contend. I be- lieve it would be well worth while, and I recommend that the teachers in the pubic schools take occasion on next Monday to Impress upon their Ypupils the importance of greater care in every possible way to prevent loss by fire. Arc Light for Washington St. The police commissioners presenetd the following report: Petition of F. W. Cary and others granted an arc light is ordered for Washington street. Petition of Willlam Crowe and oth- ers: It is ordered that there’ will be enough light on Laurel Hill _bridge when the new arcs are installed. Petition of A. V. Covello and others: As CIliff street extension has not been granted. It is advised that the peti- accepted by the city a light is not tioners be given leave to withdraw. Petition of J. J. Dennis and others granted, and light ordered for North Main street ,south of Shetucket Co. The report was accepied, the recom- mendation adopted. The city auditor's report, Martin E. Jensen auditor, was presented and ac- cepted. Want Nitrogen Lights. A petition signed by Charles H. Burton and others asked a change in lighting system on North Main street from the corner of North Main street and Central avenue to the corner of North Main and Boswell avenue from the present bug lights to the new ni- trogen light system. This was re- ferred to the gas and electric com- missioners with power. A petition signed by Gilbert S. Ray- mond and 13 others asked. the laying out of a public city street, that tract of land forty feet in widih runnin easterly from Roath strect and whicl is known as CIiff street extension. This petition was referred to the pub- lic works committee. Alderman Dolbeare of the finance committee reported progress on the claims of James A. Hiscox and the London-Lancashire Indemnity com- pany. The quarterly report of the fire marshal, the monthly report of the street commissioner and the quarterly report of the chief of police were ac- cepted and ordered printed in the journal. Department Bil's Approved. Department bills were ordered ap- proved as follows: Water department, $3,236.46; department, and electric park, 457.15; fire department, $4.076 55; police’ department, $2,647.56; street lighting, $557.02; public wroks, 23,499.40; finance department, $16,559.- The treasurer's report will be found on Page Seven. gas $18,899.33 NORWICH MUSIC ASSOCIATION. Opsning Night at Slater Hall Was Devoted to Russian Musie. The first meeting of the season of the Norwich Music association was held last evening in Slater hall and was devoted to Russian music. Preceding the musical programme, a short taik on Russian music and com- posers was given by Mrs. Charles Has- kell which added much to the apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the evening. The very short period which is covered by Russian composition, only 70 years, was spoken of, the lyric style, and the evolution from the national folic songs. The oldest form was heard in the Rus- sian kymn sung by a double ‘male guartette and is perhaps famfiliar to us all. E Selections frem the opera A Life for a Czar were given by Miss Helen B. Royce, violin, with fine technique and sympathetic interpretation. Miss Royce was accompanied by Miss Annle Taft. Mrs. Tracy Sheffield’s delightful ren- dering of the Nocturne, Scriabine and Etude-Arensky was delicatc and dainty in_the extreme. Mrs, Gardiner Greene was heard in two groups of songs, each showing the prevailing characteristic of the Rus- slan music, a tone of sadness. witich was most sympathetically brought out. Mrs. Greene was accompanied by Miss ‘Ella Potter. Miss Royce's second selections, Tschaikowsky’s Song Without Words end Glazounoff's Meditation, were also sweet and lovely of tone. In sharp contrast of style were the rollicking Polichinelle by Rachmanin- off, beautifully played by Robert Gale Noyes, and the playful Dance of the Gnomés by Sapellnikoff, given so ex- quisitely by Mrs. Sheffield New Kentucky Industry.

Real Food Dictator. If the Germans want a real “food dictator” they might import a high- priced American dyspepsia specialist. found the auto lying on its side in the middle of the road with Mr, Brown pinged beneath. He was extricated angd carried jo a house nearby, where he died before medical assistance could be procured. Mr. Brown's head and face were horribly mutilated and he was covered with blood. When it was found that Mr. Brown was dead. Cor¥ner 'W.'G. Steadman was called, and gave permission to have the body removed to an undertaking parlor. Mr. Brown’s machine was not badly dam- aged and the reason for the accident is a mystery. ‘The mud guards that were suspended’in the air were badly bent and two kinds of glass were strewn about the road. This led to a theory that another machine may have sideswiped Mr. Brown’s machine and then went on without stopping, but ¢his cannot be proved. Mr. Brown, who was 39 years of age, was born in Springfleld, Mass., go- ing to Southington over ten years ago. He served on the Nautical training ship Enterprise for two vears and made thirty-two voyages on the American line steamer St. Paul, as quartermaster. He studied law in the Boston university and shortly after being admitted to the bar he located in the Southington town court since it was organized, about seven years ago. He has been tax collector for both town and borough for the past four years. Mr. Brown was one of the ‘most prominent residents of the town and his death comes as a sreat shock to his many friends. He was one of the most. members of the republican party. was a member of Friendship No. 33, A. F. A. M. and also of Wonx tribe, 1. O. R. M.

Let us live well, cat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well; what a giorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks_ who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acld stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter. Everyone, whether ailipg, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous , toxins; - thus cleansing, sweetening ‘and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. . The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a_splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate s quietly extracting a iarge volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough fiushing of allsthe inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered ~with constipation, bilious spells, stomach. trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside-bathing before breakfast. —_— COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS.
