STATE PLANS TO AID THE BIRDS DURING WINTER Deputy Game Wardens Building Shelters About Connecticut. Preparations made to save the pheasants, quail and song birds from starving to death during the winter In this state, according to an announcement made vesterday at the offices of the fish and game commissioner at the capitol. Heretofore these is have had a hard time of it during the winter, when the snow was deep. Deputy have been already game wardens have been working with diligence in all parts of the state where these birds are seen, Locations for shelter nave been icked out and several quail shelters have been built, with openings toward the south. The deput;es plan to keep gravel and feed on the surface of the snow. It has been found that quail may be easily enticed into these shelters by feed leaders of grain. The main feed is buckywheat, cracked corn, rye, oats and quantities ‘of chafl. The shelters are made of old boards with quantities of cedar brush on top. The size of the opening for the birds is about six feet high and eight feet wide, the roof running to the ground in the back. According _to reports from the deputies the birds in this state have suffered little distress up to _ the present time. Compared with Mas- sachusetts, Connecticut has had little snow. In the Bay State it has been found that the birds are in immi- nent danger of starving to death be- cause of the deep snow. The Massa- chusetts fisheries and game commis- sion has issued an appeal to sports- men's associations, Boy Scouts, Au- dubon socicties and bird lovers in general to scatter food for the birds.

WHY WE CELEBRATE NEW YEAR'S EVE. Sorrowed from Scottish Customs, But We Are Far Away from Glasgow Standard. It anyone should tell New Eng- landites that their celebration of New Year's eve is not indigenous to them, they would be insulted. They might admit that they had borrowed a little, a very little, from New York, but tha{ is-as far as they woul go. And if anyone should tell New Yorkers that their New Year's eve isn't indigenois to them they would be even more in- sulted, for the New York New Year's eve is considered an essentially Man- hattanese institution. But the sad truth is that the famous cve, as NOW observed, is of Buropean origin. It wasn't o long ago that New Year's eve in New England meant sitting about the fireside, cracking nuts and telling storfes until 12 o'clock struck, when everybody would toast the new year and then go to bed. Lut now the New York New Years eve has fastened its clutches upon us, and We can’t get away from it, regardless of whether we may want to get away trom it or not. But long before the bolsterous, roistering celebration of the witchirg hour came to New York it was ie custom in France and Germany. It probably isn't during - these tragic days, but before the war and for as many years back as most people can remember, people in those countries have jammed the streets, scattere confetti and smashed hats in just tue way that New Yorkers go through the same stunts nowadays. The only rad- lcal difference is that New Yorkers B0 to their restaurants and cafes in large numbers comparatively early in the evening and stay there until early In the morning, while in France, Ger- many and Austria they all pile out on the Streets just before midnight and do mot return untll they are safely assured that the new year is really in. Then they stay around until 8 or § vclock in the morning and make a regular time of it with a thoroughness that businesslike Americans with the consciousness of the painful duty of “opening up” the office the next day can never realize. At least, so says M. M. Adler, manager of Harry Bond’s restaurant, Hartford, and he ought to know, as he has spent a good share of his life on the other side of the water. Scotland is a land whose New Years differs materially from ours. It isn’t for one puny night there, but for eight or ten days, which makes iz possible for the population to go abcut It _in whole-hearted fashion. In the main square in the city of Glassov there stands a statue of King Buly, otherwise known as King Willlam of Orange, the gentleman whose name is an anathema to true-hearted Irishmen because of his connection with tae famous battle of the Boyne. Glaszuw, be it said, furnishes a home for larg- numbers of the aforesaid true-hearted Irishmen and the deep hatred for King Billy which has coursed throuzh their veins for generations_manifests itself invariably on Year's cve at exactly 12 o’clock midnight At that hour the . irishmen gather at the square, each armed with Bs many empty bottles as they can collect—heaven knows where they gct them, but remember that they have eight or ten days for recuperation af- terwards—and as the clock peals forth they bombard King Billy with the for- mer containers of everything from a nip to a magnum NEW LONDON DRIVERS WILL HAVE BADGES. Owners of Vehicles Will Have Furnish $1,000 Bond. Police Captain George _Haven of New London is in receipt of 100 badges for the use cf drivers of public con- vevances, and these will be just as soon as the nece: tion blanks for licenses ceived from ihe printer. The badges will be issued in accord ance with Section 7 of the city ordi- nance for the regulation and licensing of certain public conveyances. license fees for such crivers will cost $1 and the badges will be loaned to the suc- cessful applicants by the city. Before obtaining a badge and li- cense, however, it will become neces- sary for the owner of the vehicle to furnish a bond for $1,000 to the city, with good and sufficient security, by to which such owners can be held re- sponsible for damages to any person injured while being conveyed in the event of it being proven that the acci- dent was due to negligence on the part of such owner or person driving the vehicle.

STUDENTS RENDERED CONCERT Large Aldience Heard Singers at the Second Congregational Churoh. On Tuesday evening a gooa nwiw‘u- ‘ongregational TUSKEGEE dience at the Second church listened with great apprecia- tion to a wel rendered concert pro- gramme and talk by the leader, of a quintet from Tuskee Insitute. After a short introduction by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, the quintet opened their programme by a medley; Good News Chariot's Coming, followed by Go Down Moses, fllled with wierd ca- dences for which they showed true appreciation. I Want to Be Ready, a very melodious selection, was sung very effectively, the voices being real- ly organ like in tone and quality. Hal- lelujah t8 the Lamb, being an amus- ark, was followed by the Rosary. Somebody’s Knocking at Your Door was a Jovely hymn-like tune and very well sung. The programme was very well chosen, combining comedy and pathos in the wal characteristic of the true negro music. The voices were particularly twell balanced and each was very fine. Capt. Neely gave a short address on Tuskegee, well poised and very well given and showing a keen grasp of his subject. He spoke of the small be- ginning and how from little or nothing the school had grown till it now owns twenty-five hundred acres, has one hundred buildings on or about _its campus with over seventeen hundred students in attendance and including small boys and girls and an adult out- side enrollment of over a thousand more. e voiced his appreciation of the de- voted southern white men and women 2nd the gratitude for the North. He pled for their continued aid in assist- ing his race to gain a chance in the world and a place in our highest civ- flization. At the close of his address - quintet again pleased the with several selections, among them being a_lullaby, Bedtime's Come For Little Boys, I Couldn't Hear Nobody Praying, which contained a fine tenor part and in conclusion gave Swin, Low Sweet Chariot. the audience GROTON FACING PECULIAR SITUATION Bill of $600 Against Town and High- way. peculiar condition confronts the servn of Groton, or rather the old board of selectmen of the town in the matter of excavating for the highway under the bridge of the New Haven road at Poquonoc station, South road, or Palmer’s bridge, as it is variously called. When the matter of making that highway safe for travelers came up some time ago it appears the board of selectmen agreed that the town should pay the cost which would come in the neighborhood of 31,500 or $2,- 000. The New Haven road did the ex- cavating and used the material in the construction - work going on at Avery Memorial. Tuesday the town recelved a bill for nearly $600. Right here comes the deadlock. There has been no appropri- ation made for this purpose and the new board of selectmen has no au- thority to pay the bill. Selectmen of the town of Groton have no legal auth- ority to transact business relating to the highways which were taken from their hands fully 10 years ago and a road commission appointed for that purpose. Said commission consists of | Dr. T.. M. Allyen of Mystic, L. L. Park of Noank and C. T. Lamphere of Gro- ton bank. It looks as if there would be some difficulty about getting the bill from the New Haven road settled. | 1t reads as fotlows: engineering party two days yards of excavating at .

Time - Extended in Suit Against Un- dersea Craft. The time has been extended to Dec. 30 for A. Schumacher & Co. of Balti- more. American agents of the under- sea merchantman Deutschland, to tiic an answer in the United States court in the libel brought against the Deutschland by the T. A. Scott com- vany of New London. The libel is based on the collision of Nov. 17, 1916, when the steam tug Cassie and the steam tug T. A. Scott, Jr., were con- voying the Deutschland from New London harbor, when the Deutsch- land was on her trip to Bremen. Ihe T. A. Scott, Jr, was struck by the Deutschland and was sent to the hot- tom with her crew, all of the latter losing their lives. The suit is for $12,000, the value of the lost tug. Charles W. Field of Baltimore ard Bdward E. Blodgett of Boston are lawyers in defense of the Deutsch- land, which, according to the libei, is owned by the Deutsche Ozean Phederei DEUTBCHLAND'S SPEED U. 8. Inspectors Exonerated German Submarine Officers From Blame. United States steamboat inspectors made public their finding Tuesday re- iating tc the responsibility for the collision between the German mer- chantman submarine Deutschanl and the tug T. A. Scott, Jr. in the Race, on the morning of November 17, which resulted in the sinking of the latter and the drowning of her entire crew. Captain Frederick Hinch, a passens: er, was saved by a mere chance. The inspectors place the blame for the castastrophe on a mistake of a bell signal given by Captain John H.

Tn their finCing the inspectors con- tinue: “It seems to us probable that Chp- tain Gurney underestimated the speed which the Deutschland was making after uassing New London light at which point her speed had been in- creased to eight or nine knots an hour; and that Captain Gurney did not real- ize how quickly the Deutschland was closing up the distance between her and the T.
