FOR FRUIT THIEVES New Law About Robbing Field and Orchard, The late legislature was in earnest hel; those people who are e things to eat, and it passed the following law: “Any person who shall, during the time of the war, enter upon any fleld, garden or land of another, sown, planted or cultivated with grain, veg- ctables, frult, articles of food, or sub- sfanse used in the preparation of food, with intent to retard or injure the growth of the same, or shall rut, carry away or injure any growth or product of the soil of such field, gar- den or land ,shall be fined not more than $100, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. This act shall take effect from passage.” This is the law and it was intended to prevent thievery of eatable products of the soil. Sunday School Class Picnic.

Report—186 Alarms During Norwich had 156 alarms of fire dur- ing the past year, according to the annual report of Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton presented at the meeting of the common council held Monday evening in the council chamber. In his report Chief Stanton recom- mends the motorizing of the entire fire department as the horses are from thirteen to seventeen years old. He alse recommends better protection for Thamesville and Greeneville. Chief Stanton’s report in part fol- lows: Chief Stanton's report shows tbat there are 26 permanent men on the force, 20 calt men, 20 volunteers, mak- ing a total of 66 on the whole force. The fire department responded to 186 alarms the past year. Of this number four were out of the clty lim- its with slight damage. Of the above number of alarms, 24 were bell alarms, 135 were telephone alarms and 27 were still or verbal alarms, 47 more than reported last year, and can be ac- counted for by the increased number of brush and grass fires that usuaily occur during the spring months, also the unnecessary number of chimney fires that could be avoided by the proper care of the chimneys by clean- ing. While there have been a number of fires that could have been very seri- ous, the quick response of the depart- ment with motor apparatus prevented any single loss exceeding $2.100, and but one of this amount occurred. The largest losses occurred at the Greeneville end of the city, where bet- ter protection is needed by the In- stallation of motor apparatus. Horee- drawn apparatus with outside horses to respond is not giving this district proper protection. The total at risk, bulldings and con- tents, amounted to $319,376.98; total insurance carried on buildings and contents, $242,500,000: total fire loss, $11,759.48: total inesurance loss, 31 109.48; total loss over insurance, $650.

Fxtensive repairs must be made in the near future at all the sta- tions, as several have been neglected under the supposition that the location PARADE WILL NOT BE DISTURBED BY CARS Railway Autho officials are co-operating ible manner with the London committee in an effort to avoid confusion and congestion and not in- cre with the Fourth of July pa- rade at New London. The street rail- way _authorities have assured Cap- tain Wilson, military aide to the grand marshal, that they will do all in thefr power to give their assistance. Captain Wilson has assured Harry Twiss, who is in charge of the New London lines, that the running of the cars will not be interferred with be- fore 1.50 on the afternoon of the pa- rade. After that time Mr. Twiss has promised to_have all trolleys out of the way on Bank street until after the parade has left that street. Captain Wilson has come to an un- derstanding with Mr. Twiss and the Norwich management whereby the cars will be run to give as much ser- vice as possible without crossing the parade formation. The Norwich car lines will continue to run until the head of the parade reaches the cor- ner of Main and Williams street when the cars will stop and not run down Main street until the congestion caus- ed by the parade is relieved. in FIFTH COMPANY WILL LOSE EIGHT MEN Seven of Which for Having Depend- ent Relatives.

Sergeant Stephen Conners of Hart- ford, formerly a member of the sani- tary detachment of the First regiment, will be discharged from the Nation- al Guard Reserve for dependent rela- tives. UNCAS LODGE INSTALLATION POSTPONED. Will Take Place at Next Evening’s Session. With Nobie Grand Rev. Joseph F. Cobb in the chair, regular business was transacted at the meeting of Uncas lodge, No. 11, 1. O. O. F., held In Odd Fefiows’ hall Monday evening. The annual installation of officers was to have taken place at this meeting, but owing to the inability of the deputy to be present the installation was post- poned until next Monday evening.

After campleting their work the boys enjoyed.a swim. . take a vacation and go tiger hunting Tould be, changed or A or many vears the attention of this department has been called to the need of apparatus at the Thamesville sec- tion of the city, and with the growing section unprotected. except by a horse- drawn company nearly one mfie away, it would appear that steps should b taken to put the station, already lo- cated in a suitable location, in proper condition and install a plece ot motor apparatus, preferably a motor Dump- J,"on account of the large industries already located in this vicinity, with a prospect of more to be established. The entire department should . be motorized at once, as experience has proven the advantage of motor-ariven apparatus over horse-drawn, not only from the point of efficiency but from the reduced cost of maintemance. There are 509 hydrants instaFed throughout the city. 448 public and 61 private. Four public hydrants were added the past year. All fire cisterns remain as reported one year . 14 being located in different sections of the city, connected with city main; and holding from 5,000 to 8,000 gaillons of water. There is 11,050 feet of hose distributed among the companies. ‘The fire alarm system remd%hs in the same general condition as report- ed one vear ago. All alarms have been transmitted correctly and very little trouble has occurred to prevent its working satisfactorily. The erection of new buildings of importance have fallen off the past vear: the larger number of frame buildings erected were mostly garages, with a few frame houses. Permi for new buildings and alterations were granted as foliows: Quarter ending Sept. 30, 1916, 26; quarter ending Dec. 31. 1916, 21; quarter ending March 31, 1917, 12: quarter ending June 30, 1917, 19, making a total of T8 permits grant- ed during the year. The inventory of the department property amounts to $129,000.000. The disbursements total $35,499.60, $29.- 011.12 of which was paid out in sal- aries. The recommendations made to the court of common council by the board of fire commissioners May 7, 1917, showwd be complied with to the end that the entire department be motor- ized, as the horses are from 13 to 17 years old. Some of the horees have been in the service of the department 13 vears. The same condition exists at Thamesville as reported in former re- ports, a growing section with la¥ge industrial plants, and no fire protec- tion. I earnestly recommend that some steps be taken to provide pro- tection for this part of the city. Should a fire occur at this end of the city with the apparatus from the center already out at fires, the loss would be consfd- erable. The condition at the Greeneville end of the city should be improved by the purchase of motor apparatus, as the service from outside horses is very un- satisfactory, coupled with two entirely volunteer companies. A combination chemical, hose and pump for Engine company No. 2 and a light motor truck with a 50 foot extension ladder should be purchased for Truck company No. 2, with not less than five permanent men at the station, would make a stast toward giving Greeneville the protec- tion it deserves and needs. A new building code should ba adopted that would prohibit the use of wood shingles within the city lim- te. Some method should be adopted to- ward creating a pension fund similar to other cities of the etate, as the time will come when some members of the department wiil be incapacitated either the stations by age or disability. -_———— m—s—— WANT WITHDRAWAL OF GUARDSMEN ON JULY 3. Be Sent Under Canvas For tensive Training. will In- That application has bean made to Brigadier General Clarence R. ¥d- wards. commanding the northeastern department, for the concentration un- der canvas of the Connecticut national guard has been announced through the state council of defense. General Edwards has ordered that all militiamen be withdrawn from guard duty at factories and bridges by Tuesday, July 3. To sive them in- tensive training in preparation for the demands of actual warfare, the plan contemplated is to mobilize both the First and Second regiments some- where in Connecticut. The location of the camp, If the plan is carrled out, will be announced later. Trained men and recruits would be put into this camp together, and, in the opinion of the military authori- ties, the training would result in a body of soldiers well instructed In the work they are to do. Such a mabili- zation camp would be temporary, largely preparatory to a divisional con- centration camp to be established later. The attitude of Governor Holcomb in urging strongly that the New England guardsmen bs concentrated in their own territorles and his support of the resolutions in favor of Maine for the divisional encampment, led color to the report that the later and larger camp will be established In that state. Niantic as the site for the Connecti- t encampment seems to meet with little consideration, although it has been offered «to the use of the north- eastern department. Tt is understood that Colonel Ernest L. Isbell of the Second regiment s de- encamping his men for =a time at least near the rifle range in East Haven for needed target prac- tice. He has received several offers of land, including a tract tn New Lon- don ana land owned by Yale univer- sity near Westville, but no_announce- ment as to their use has been made. sirous of GOING TIGER HUNTING IN BURMESE JUNGLE. Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Andrews (Yvette Borup) Having Interesting Experi- ences. Members_of Norwich soctety who met Miss Yvette Borp when she was 2 guest of Mr. and Mre. S. B. Case, will be interested in the tollowing from a New York paper: Dr. J. A. Aiken, curator of mam- malogy and ornithology in the Mu- seum of Natural History, has given out a letter to himself from Roy C. Andrews, summarizing results of ex- plorations of Southern China, to which Andrews was assigned by the museum several months ago. The work is nearly finished and Andrews is expected to return in August with an official report. Mrs. Andrews who is a sister of George C. Borup, the explorer, made the trip with her hus- band as photographer of the expedi- tion. Both of them are keen hunters of big game. When the letter was written they were in Yunnan Prov- ince, China, headed toward India. homeward bound, and had decided to BOSTON STORE BLOUSES 100 Styles To Choose From $1.00 to $8.98 at their owm jungle, with Mandalay. “T am_exceedingly anxious tiger”” Mr. Andrews writes. “Since leaving Fukien Provience we have not been in a tiger region. Tiger hunting is wuncertain, even in the best dis- tricts. One man has expressed the case aptly in calling the tiger the great invisible; he is everrwhere and nowhere. Thers is no flercer tiger than the species in the region where we shall hunt. “Mrs. Andrews has had extraor- dinary success with her natural color photographs. The collection will prove .very valuable and cannot fail to bring this region to New Yorkers in a new way. She has some superb photographs of the great gorge of the Yangtze, which in some portions may be compared with the Grand Canvon, and as she has fine negatives of Thibet an Mosas, Shans and various tribes- men, “We have to date 760 birds and 100 reptiles. The small mammal collec- tion is specially good in insectivores. Although the country in Southern Yunnan, where we are working, Is not so good for collecting as that along the Thibetan frontier the fauna is so different that it is worth study. In the time remaining for work in this region we should pile up 500 or 600 more mammals, which will give us a very good showing, I think.’ cost in the Burmess a base not far from to get a TRINITY M.

The regular meeting of Troop 6 of the Boy Scouts of America was heid in Trinity Methodlst church Monday evening with a large number in at- tendance. Matters of Importance were discussed, among which was the ques- tion of where to go for the summer's camping trip. The boys will go to New London on Wednesday to render service along the line of march for the big parade to be held there. One new member was taken in dur- ing the meeting. Following the busi- ness session a social hour was enjoyed by the boys. During the past week several of the scouts have been on all-night hikes. The Crow patrol went to Gardner Lake and staved over the night. The boys greatly enjoyed the trip, having plenty to do and plenty to eat. The camp cooks, Leffingwel and Stanton, showed exceptional ability in the art of pre- paring meais. The Wolf patrol went to Tantern Hill for four days. This patroi was in charge of Assistant Scoutmaster Himes. CANNING DEMONSTRATION. Good Sized Audience Witnessed Work by Miss Nellie Campbeil. The home canning demonstration given in the Y. M. C.
