The sub-committee is organ- ized to assist in matters of a business or private nature all sailors and sol- diers in the service of this - country from this town, and it is planned that each sailor and soldier shall be noti- fied of the existence of this commit- tee and advised that they may com- muniecate with it from time to time and rely upon its help as Indicated, whenever possible. The same plan has been adopted and is being carried out in the other towns and _cities throughout the state. For the immediate present the com- mittee has the duty and the pleasure of raising a fund of six to elght hun- dred dollars to carry out the plans of It is desired to raise this fund by small popular subscriptions rather than by large donations. It will require only a very small amount from each one. The greater part of the fund will be used to satisfy a re- quest from the Norwich boys at Camp Devens, Aver, Mass.

Other cities have generously provided their boys with pool tables, games, or musical instruments. So far no pro- vision has been made for the Norwich boys by the citizens of the city of Norwich. Games, pool tables, musical instruments, provided in this way are for the exclusive use of the boys from the town or city by which they are presented. The Norwich boys are particularly anxious to secure a good phonograph with records, games, reading matter, and a pool table. It is proposed to leave the property at Camp Devens so that when the pres- ent quota, moves, it will be ready and available for the nex quota of Nor- wich boys. The sub-committee appolnted to care for the business or personal af- fairs of such Norwich bovs as are in the navy or army and may require some local assistance, is Arthur F.

Simpson who left here for Fort Terry, Plum Island, N. Y, last July, with the old Fifth Company, now the 24th Company, will have completed his three months’ training at the Reserve Officers’ Training camp, at Platts- burgh, N. Y. Sergeant Simpson ex- pects to return to Norwich about’ No- vember 26th for a short visit. Writ- ing to a Norwich friend of his experi- ences at Plattsburg Sergeant Simp- son says: ‘We figure on 16 hours’ work here a day with 8 hours’ sleep. Here is one of our daily duties: revellie, 5.45 assembly, or rol 11, a. m. mess, at 7 o'clock we are out on the parade grounds drilling in eith- er cMse or extended order until 9 o'clock We then march back to the company strept, fall out and get the books on the subject of the week, and fall in immediately, and march to the study room, generally in one of the brick barrack: ‘where we have a conference until 10.30. From 10.30 to 11.00. we have physical exercise and 11 to 11.30 bayvonet drill. Tt might seem a short perfod to a with the rifile. but if you see how we “eat” that stuff vou wouldn't wonder, as the bayonet arill eats up a fellow's energy pretty fast, providing he puts in all _the gumption he has. From 11.30 to 12.15 we read over our mail, and make up our beds, as the bed clothing is put out on a line to air each morning. (This being one of the blue laws.) We are all there. on bomb throwing practice, and signal work. so at 1.15 we go out on the rifle range until 3 ‘o'clock. T might say our range is one of the ‘best in the world, having 72 butts, and all practically new. From 3 to 4.30 we sometimes take a hike. If we don’t get a hike the time is taken up in several other drills. Hiking is a2 big factor in the gagie and a soldier who can carry a “heavy pack” on his shoulder with his Springfield for 10 or 12 miles without showing any signs of fatigue is what we call “getting in- shape.” Thers is a very marked difference T remember at the soldiers was not advocated. but here tpey approve of it and for three days last week, we spenut an hour each day learning songs.

In the trench game there has been about 10 miles dug, and I overheard an officer say they were supposed to be the longest line of trenches dug for They are about 7 feet deep. with a firing step made out of small birches tied together, which ruikes the elevation 2 feet higher. The trench is started 4 feet in width, tapering at the bottom to 3 1-2 feet. i Owing to the -soil which 1s very sandy here, this has to be done. A berm is made out of the sand thrown out, where a man rests his arms while in the firing po- sition, this being 1 foot high. From the top of the berm, the remaining sand is thrown back evenly, formin; a parapet. - The sand in the rear of the trench is built up 1 foot. forming a parados. After all this. turf is dus, and small trees aré stuck around in different places.in order the new soil won’t be so easily detected by an ob- serving aeroplane.

Al Postmaster Murphy has received in- structions dated October 29th, that modifies the ruling of October 23rd on post cards or private maliilng cards, the new ruling makes all cards both government or private made, subject to the two cent rate whether written or printed, the public will notice that this ruling, requires two cents on all souvenir cards whether they contain writing or not. Since the ruling made by Postmas- ter General A. S. Burleson last Aug- ust that magazines containing the pre- scribed printed instructions can be sent to United States soldiers and sailors at the front, the publishers have had time to comply with the in- structions of the post office depart- ment, and today there is hardly a magazine of any importance on any rews stand which does not bear, on its cover the legend: s “NOTICE TO READER. “When you finish reading this mag- azine place a 1 cent stamp on this notice, hand same to any postal em- ployee and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers and sailors. at the front.

B. Stoeckel, state com- missioner of motor vehicles, is coop: erating. The plan calls for the use of motor trucks in carrying what are called “back loads.” or loads on re- ments, of course have to be built, and we “lived” in the trenches about two weeks ago.

Simpson, Second Man from Right, Will Soon Complets Three G Months Training at Reserve Officers’ Camp) DARK AND BEAUTIFUL LOOK YEARS YOUNGER! TRY GRANDMA’S RECIPE OF SAGE AND SULPHUR AND NO- BODY WILL KNOW, Atmost e lnows that Sage Tee and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural mm lustre to the hair when faded, ed or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to meke it at home, which is mussy and trouble- som. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound.” You will get a iarge bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredisnts, at very little cost. Hverybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as_it does it so naturally 2nd evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your halr, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gruy balr disappears, and after another ap- plcation or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delight=ul toflet requisite. Tt is not intended fcr the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. turn trips when trucks ordinarily tra- vol empty. For example, trucks are now being used to carry freight from New Britain to Hartford for New Britain concerns, returning each time empty. Under fhe new plan freight held in Hartford for delivery tn New Britain_which the railroad is unable to_transport would he carried to New DBritain. by these trucks on thelr return trips. The owners of the trucks would be compensated by the shippers for whom the deliveries would be made. The project will not only relieve congestion on the railroads and put more railroad facilities at the disposal of the government but would make the motor truck service of the truck | owners more efficient. The plan also calls for the general utilization of trucks which are idle part of each day or week. There are 11,500 motor trucks in the state according to registration fig- ures on file in the office of the com- missioner of motor vehicles, and in order to reach all the owners of these cars, Commissioner Stoeckel has sent to each truck, owner in Connectleut a2 return post card asking him if he is willing to cooperate in making the plan successful. The appeal is headed by the legend: “Connecticut Must Have More Transportation Facilities.” It continues: “Are yvour trucks carrying back lcads? If not, we can provide them. Are they ever idle? If so we can find employment for them. Are they 100 per cent. efficlent? If not we can make them so. This means profit to you, helps relieve freight congestion and speed up transportation. “You can ‘do your bif, render im- portant service, ‘improve vour busi- ness methods, {ake over - short hauls which the railroads cannot handle, prevent delays and help win the war.” The return section of the card con- tains space for information as to th- number and capacity of trucks own:* by the person to whom it is addressed and asks the following qrestions: “Will vou earry ‘back loads' for a rea- sonable compensation? Will you rent your truck at full or part capacity? How many hours, or days a week, can vour trucks be had for this plan? Have you any established delivery routes. Some detalls of the plan have vet to be arrangefl. It will be necessary to establish a number agencies which will act as connecting links be- tween shippers and truck owners so that the latter can be directed from time to time to the places where freight 1s awaiting theflr trucks. The organization plans are now being con- ered: (1) To hate the bureaus +hat I be established in varlous cities and towns to act as clearing houses organized by the shippers themselves. (2) To have the bureaus orzanized 2s_sub-committees of the Council of Defense. It s possible that a com- bination of the two plans will be worked out, but no decision has yet been reached in regard to this phase of the project. STATE WILL RECEIVE CREDIT FOR OVERDRAFT Second Quota Will Be Fair Basis. Assigned on Connecticut will receive credit. on the next draft for the excess of men taken in the first draft because of the inaccurate estimates of population and will be assigned its second quota on a fair basis if jt is possible for Pro- vost Marshal E. M. Crowder to bring about the necessary changes in the draft system followed by the federal government. This was General Crow- der’s promise to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb when the state’s chief execu- tive saw him in Washington last week. In every particular, General Crowder conceded the justice of Connecticut's claim for relief from the excessive number of men taken in the draft un- der the estimates of population upon which it ‘was based, according to a statement given out today by Gov- ernor Holcomb through the Connectj- cut State Council of Defense. This promise is for action which Governor Holcomb _and the State Council of Defense have been striving for some time to secure. Governor Holcomb and Hon. Homer S. Cummings, a member of the Con- necticut State Councll of Defense, 1iad a conference with President Wilson on last Wednesday, concerning the exces- sive quota assigned to Connecticut by reason of predicating its estimated population upon the registration fig- ures.
