The back end of the running board and the rear fender on the left side were crushed and the body smashed. The top was up and when that was torn down the wind- shield was probably broken and prob- ably Cyr's eye was cut bva piece of the glass. The rear end of the car then slewed around and struck another pole on the same side of the street, about 30 feet distant, and the rear right hand side was crushed, the real wheel being dished. The rear axle was bent and all of the damage was done to the rear end of the car. Neighbors say that after the crash they heard a ripping sound, probably the rear wheels slew- ing, and then another crash. The first person to reach the site of the accident was Charles Richards, who had just finished working. When he got oyt into the street a man, prob- ably Cyr, was picking himself up from the middle of the road, about opposite where the first pole was, and another man, of slight build, about five feet tall, was coming around the front of the car. They met and talked as if they were friends and then went up the street together. A little way up Main street they met several young men and Cyr asked to be taken to a doctor, and they took How to Save Fuel. Among other suggestions as to how to save fuel, received by Hemry T. Burr, chairman of the local fuel com- mittee, are the suggestions that the saloons open at elght in the morning and close at nine and that the differ- ent churches hold union services. These two sugzestions are being tried out in many places. Last Trip of Express. The State of Maine BExpress, which has been discontinued because of war conditions, made its last trip, Sunday morning. The train is composed largely of Pullman sleepers with sev- eral coaches which were used mainly by soldiers to return to Camp Devens after spending a few days at home. They would arrive at the camp in time, yet could stay longer at their homes than if they took the four o'clock train. Many soldiers have come from the surrounding territory to take the train, sometimes special cars being run on the Willimantic-New London trolley line fom New London way, and automobile jitneys from him to Dr. Girouard.

A mass meeting will be held at the Chamber of Commerce auditérium this (Monday) evening at eight o'clock to form a War Work Bureau for the Wil- limantic_district; including all to#ns in the Willimantic Telcphone Exchange district.

Putnam people will be intreduced t @ fuel card ystem this morning. The fuel] situation here is described as dis. turbing and, as is being done in many towns and cities of the state, a card system of issuing coal to applicant: therefor has been adopted’ by the city fuel commission, of which Chanle ean is chairman. Hereafter when a person wishes to purchase coal and it is determined that sald person is entitled to receive a limited quantity, the applicant will be required to fill out a form, which i now being distributed to fuel deglers. This form will be made out in tripli- cate.” One copy will be kept by the dealer that supplies the fuel, another copy will be given to the purchaser and a third copy will go to the fuel commission, Under this system an aceurate rec. ord of who gets the coal, and how much of it each family gets, may be kept. When further supplies of fuel are desired by any person, that per- son will be réquired to show his last purchase slip, in caée he has pur: chased since the card system becanis effective. The city needs much more coal than it has on hand to meet its normal needs, so the adoption of the card s¥stem has been deemed necessary in order that the coal may beé made to serve as many families as possible.
