The cars bore a Pennsylvania registration and were driven by the men in the party. Begging from automobdlles is quite a step from the old fashioned begging.

Former Gévernor B. €. Smith of St. Albans, Vt, chafrman of the sub-com- mitteée on transportation of the Ver- mont committee of public safety, who is president of the Central Vermont railrozd, has been conducting some ex-' tensive ‘experiments in the matter of supplying the y transportation faciiities Tor troops in event of large bodies being moved. for ca{ns;g:n!:h o diatagoes. He has do velopéd, through co-t 136 Dhope 4nd Smployes of The Central Vermont railroad, a means of con- verting ordinary ' day coaches into slesping cars. This is done by ar- ranging sleeping berths out of seats, and the construction of a folding can- vas cot overiead which takes the place of the upper berth. The comtrivance is very simple and inexpensive. The goat (o¢ tahatorminy the ordfisey Sdy coach into a sleeping car is insi - S2he comrort_ of the aen coneidered. His shops have algo experiment- ing with the matter of kitchen cars and have developed a very practical system of subsisting troops whils en route by rail. ‘Célonel Ira L. Reeves, president of Norwich university and chairman of the public safety committse, s to visit ‘Washington at an early date, and will present these pldns to the quartermas- tér general of the army for his consid- eration. : THe Vermont troops which went to the border last summer were ibly ths only troops in the United States which made any efforts to afford sleeping accommodations in the ordi- nary day coach, The First Vermont infantry was en route five.days from its mobilization camp to Bagle Pass, Texas, and had it not been for a rath- er ingenioue conversion of the day coaches into temporary sieepers, the discomfort of the troops would have been great. In the event of the movement of large bodies of troops it would be impracticable to obtain even a small fraction of a per cent. of the necessary Pullman or tourist sleeping cars to convey them. STATE POLICEMEN GO TO PLATTSBURG Ordered to Report at Camp to Train For Officerships. Theodore F. Downing and Wiliam B. Jackson both members of the state police fi#'ce and well known locally have been motified to report at the lattsburg camp to train for officer- ships in United States army. Both po- licemen took their physical examina- tio”s some time ago and have been ac- cepted. Theodore F. Downing is lteutenant ot the state police force and is a grad- uate of the Comnecticut Agricultural college. 1o served as captain of a company while at_college and served four vears in the National Guard. William E. Jackson is e Spanish War veteran. He enlisted In Phila- delphia at the outbreak of the war and went to Cuba in General Lawton's division. James Creelman, the well known war correspondent was in Mr. Jackson’s company and they were in- timate friends. Both men are prominent threugh- out the state having earned for them- selves fine reputations as police offi- cers. During their service for the state both men have made arrests and traced many criminals. In practically ever county in the state the men ars known as two of the best detectives and are invariably assigned to the most difficult cases.

Even if the indtvid- ual gifts séem small to the givers, they are very useful to those who receive them, and almost nthing comes amiss. The best things n; who can appreciat while whatever may be sent in too worn or eaten to be serviceable (and Wwe get such things once in a while) can easily be turned into rugs for which there is a considerable sale. Of course, the bulk of the clothing re- celved is wearabie for a longer time, and the books and magazines and mis- cellaneous things can find eiger and grateful recipfents. The following is the list of contri- butors during the month of April: Miss Alexandrine N. Trumbull, Miss J. McGregor Afken, Mrs. H. H. Osgood, Miss Emily M. Perkins, Miss Helen M Willlams, Mrs. A.

Higgins, Anderson, THE FUTURE WATER SUPPLY OF THE STATE Interssting Facts Brought to Light By Geological and Natural History Survey. Work in connection wWith the water resources of the state of Conngcticut Geological and Natural History sur- v8Y in co-operation with the United States Geological survey has brought to light interesting ana yaluable facts about the water supply of the state. The present method of furnishing water to towns has mot always proved adequate and it has long been known that other sources without doubt will need to be made avatlable. Tt 1s now possible to put into prac- tical use the results of studies of tie surface and underground waters of 69 towns or 35 per cent. of the area of the state containing 50 per cent. of its population. s the availability, amount, snd quality of the waters— cuiarly underground waters—have determined, potnits which are use- ful not only to communities having a common supply but to {ndtvidual fand- holders. The position of ground wa- ter with réference te the land surface has been determined, areas of open field, dreas of forest, rock, and types of glacial sofl have heen outlined: wa- ter from springs, wells, and brooks has been analvzed, and studies of the most economtcal and sanitary supplies for farms and villages have been miade. The results of these investigations are being published. Two In co-éper- ation with the United States Survey have been aiready issued with the ti- ties: “Ground Water in the Hartford, Stanford, Satisbury. and_Saybrook Araas, Connecticut,” by J. Ellls, Water- ‘Ground Water in the Waterbury Area, Connecticut,” by A. J. Eilis, Water-Supply Paper 397. A paper entitled, “Underground Water Resources_of Comnecticut,” by H. E. ., Water-Supply ~ Paper 233, deals with the state as a whole. A copy of each of these reports may be obtained by applying to the director, United States Geological Survey, a ‘Washington, D. C. Unusual features of interest are found in the géology, botany, and z00- logy of Connecticut, 24 bulletins on different phases of these subjects hav- ing appeared under the direction of the Connecticut Geological and Natur- al History Survey since the beginning of the organization in 1903. In July, 1916, Professor W. N. Rice of Wesle yan university terminated his office as superintendent of the survey which he hed held for 13 years—years of suc- cesg for the survey on account of the vaiuable results obtained. The su- perintendency is now held by Pro- fassor 1. F. Gregory of Yale univer- sity. A geologlc map and manual, a report on claye. another report on rocks, and a description_of Triasstc life in the Cennecticut Valley are some of the geologic phases of the state dealt with, In connection with botany, a list of flowering plants anl ferns has been published, besides reports on the moss- es, liverworts, fungl, and fresh wa- ter algae and Dacteria Zoology is represented by the bulletins on the birds, frésh water protoza, echinoderns and a guide to the insects of the state. All these reports have been written by authorities in the different lines. Other reports are in process of pub- Jication or preparation. Those al- ready published may be obtained by appiication to the State Librarian, at Hartford, Conn. MISS ROGERS' FARM FOR SCOUTS’ GARDENS Former Norwich Resident Also Offers Special Prize for Best Crops. Of a former Norwich resident a Mystic correspondent writes: Miss Carrie F.

Created Disturbance on Smeking Car En Route to New Yerk. Judge William B. Coit at the potice court & New London Thursday morn- ing_criticized the manner in which strikebreakers were handied by the New Haven road. Two negro strike- breakers who were arrested in New London for creating a disturbance on the smoking car on a train en route trom Providence to New York Wellnes- day night about 5.30. The men were not presented In court Thursday morning, as the court deemed that it was up to the New Haven road offi- cials to take proper caré of the men. It developed in court that 13 negroes who had been acting as strikebreakers at Providence were being sent back to New York, and because thers wers ot 15 In number a special car was not attached. The men were loaded in the smoker of the train that leaves New London at 5.41 bound for New York. Between Providence and New London three of the negroes joined in a real combat as a result of an argument over a game of cards. One of the trio putled a knife in an effort to scare one of the others into giving him back a dollar which he states was taken from him. The men were finally quieted but not without voices of protest by the passengers in the smoker. When the train arrived in New London two of the men were taken to the police sta- tion. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Clay- ton B. Smith told the court that he saw no reason that the two negroes should be made charges of the city. Special Agent E. A. Blair was in the court room and he was asked If the company ever provided a_special car for the strikebreakers. He told the court that if the men were moved in groups of 15 or over special cars were provided, but if the number fell below that they were put on regular passen- ger trains in charge of a watchman. Judge Coit criticized such a system and asked Probation Offcer Richard W. Mansfleld to arrange for the me- groes’ transportation to New York at the expense of the company. NEW HAVEN ROAD FEELS COAL SHORTAGE May Become Necessary to Take Off Certain Trains. The New Haven :oad is feeling the shortage of steam coal, and it may s00n become necessary to take off cer- tain local trains in order to get the maximum service out of the available supply. Howard Elliott, before tender- ing his resignation as president, made the suggestion that the service be re- duced in order to conserve the supply of fuel Just how soon it will be necessary to curtain train service or just _what trains would be first taken off officials of the road cannot admit. They admit, however, that such a plan is being given serious consideration. There is only a choius, they say, between re- ducing service now and meeting a com- piete shortage later, unless more coal is made available. .
