AUDITORIUM See Our Big Programme Today— Charlie Chaplin in The Fireman; Dustin Farnum in A Son of Old Erin Will Hit the Heart of All True Irishmen, and Damaged—No Goods, a Sunshine Comedy. Full of quaintly humorous little side lights, A Son of Erin, the screen dra- ma of Irish life and American muni- cipal activities produced by Para- mount, is the attraction at the Andi- torium theatre. A delightful touch is where Katie O'Grady has a “grand Jittle piz” to sell and her business dealings with the village butcher and afterwards her battle of wits with the dashing young landlord are deliciously humorous. Dustin Farnum in the star- ring part of Dennis O'Hara plays the role with just enough of humor to make a fascinating character in an interesting photoplay. Charlie Chap- lin in The Fireman will keep you roaring. Don't fail to see -him. Dam- aged—No Goods, another Sunshine comedy, completes a show that can't be beat. DAVIS THEATRE.

'The following ' letter received by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Robinson from their son, Winton, January 30th: - Some Where in France, 2 January 4, 1918, Dear Folks: I am going to start this tonight, do' not know how long 1 will keep at it. Now I want to tell you one thing, if you want to keep the good will of me, stop sending clippings about the draft army and the “dupes” that have got their commissions. Let them come over here and earn them the way real men do. If the peopie knew how the men here in France feel about the draft army there would not be so much i the papers. They fit with tHe men over here like you would in a bees nest. Some of the boys here get Boston papers and all you can see is about our Dear Boys at Ayer. Now let them think of the men that are doing the real work. T do not mean the 104th Regiment alone, but the regular army that has already seen the real thing. It is not often you hear one complain about anything, but when they go putting the soft soap over the ones that are too tired to go with out being drafted I am going to tell vou about it. I see by one of the papers that they had to put on their coats to eat dinner, because it was cool. Also they had frest on the windows; what would the# do if they had to wear overcoats to eat in, and also to sleep in heavy ing order to keep warm. If they had (o do that they wousl have something to kick abont. Now that is enough of that kind of stuff this time. Your letters come in bunches: keep them comn The more the merrier. The ones m ed December Gth and 18th and cards came af the same packages are still coming, T must 1ave four more on the way. Your hox of cigars came New Year’s night and be- lieve me, Ben Hannis knows what I like. Tell him his cigars have got a good name in the Machine Gun Com- pany of the 104th Regiment. I went to_thenk you for them. Tonigst I went up to a French fam- ily that have a small kid about Rob- inson’s age. He lost his father in the war. T do not see how they bring up kids here for there is no one for him to play with. -~ I have been there a lot and hatve not seen any plav things. He is a great kid, happy and smart. T have taught him to talk a lot of our janguage. I have a great time with him. Things are gotng about the same here with us. ~ All are well and hap- py. Tife nights are cool, ~but” it warms up in good shape in the middle of the day. Some snow on the &round. TNo not worry about me for I am well and have a big feeling that I am coming home and want you to look as vou did when I left home. It is only a few days over a year sinve I went to work in Springfield. I think by the time the censor gets over this it will be time for him to go to bed. It is time for me, anyway. PRIVATE W. A. RORTY' 104th U. S, Infantr American Expiditionary Forces. SON, Christmas at Sea. Rev. C. H. Ricketts has'just received the following letter from his son, Jay, who is somewhere in the Mediterra- nean waters: 2 Dec. 27g 1917. Dear Folks. We are maring port quite often now, #nd T will plan to write every time we reach one. I'm sure we will some of them. Christmas hasg passed and was quite unlike any that I ever spent before, In the first place I wasn’t ig Norwich; secondly, instead of six people at the table there were 112. We did not celebrate until the 26th, for the sim- ple reason that we were a: sea and some sea it was! You. had to hang on to something to stay on your feet and we ate our meals with one hand. ‘While you had a fine turicev in Mon- son we had hard tack, stu™~? i3 the top of our blouses, eatinz - :n one hand and hanging on wi ~ other. But we made up for it the next day the police department, who is ill at his home on Crescent street, was reported lost night as beinz slightly improved, although it will be several days be- fore he will be able to resume his duties, . hfield—The government wants to know how much fcod 200 houscholds in Litchfield county now have on hand. The survey will be carried ou‘ in th county by the home demonstration de- partment of the Litchfield county farm bureau. New Canaan—Tce in Iceman Georse Lounsbury’s pond measures 24 inches in thickness, and as the runs into the icehouses are only 18 inches wide he cannot .harvest. The only way Mr. Lounsbury sees is to wait for the spring thaw, Collinsville—Ths directors of the Columbia_Telephone company of Hud- son, N. Y., in which many people in this town' are finencially Interested, have filed a petition for a voluntary dissolution of the company. A hearing will be-held March 3. Bridgeport—Much wealth is found by internal revenue collectors to be held by women in Bridgeport. With a small proportion of the expected re- turns already made, more than 100 women are said to have declared an- nual incomes of more than $10,000, Danbury—Beginning Tuesday, new hours for opening and closing the sa- loons of the city went into effect: The places will not be open any longer hours but will open at 7 o'clock in the morning and close at 10.30 p. m., in- stead of a half hour earlier in the morning and evening. Bristol —The desk for the taking of fingerprints in the coming registration of ‘German aliens was received ‘at the police department yesterday afternoon. Chief E. T. Belden will have handbills distributed throughout the city in a day or so warning every German alien to go to the police department and register. Hartford.—Expert genealogists will be sectred by Frank B. Gay, librarian of the Watkinson l:brary and director of the Wadsworth _Atheneum, who qualified recently in the probate court under a bond of $8,000 to prepare the genealozy, of the descendants of John Drake of 'Windsor. under a. trust cre- ated by the late Timothy Drake of this city. Cromwell—A change in the school sessions is being planned to save thie fuel, which is now getting low. It is planned to commence school at .45 and continue until 12 with one-half hour for lunch and close at 1.30. This would sive the same time in study as at present but would enable the jani- tors to bank the fires several hours carlier. ‘A COLD? LISTEN! “PAPE'S COLD COMPOUND” ENDS SEVERE COLDS OR GRIPPE IN FEW HOURS. Your co'd will break and all grippe misery end after taking ‘a dose of “Pape’s Cold Compound” every two hours until three doses are taken. 1t promptly opens clogged-up nostrils and air passages in the head, stops nasty discharge or nose runming, re- lieves sick headache, dullness, fever- ishness sore throat, sneezing, soreness and stiffness.

H Your affectionate son, | JAY. Leo Jacques in South Carolina. Mrs. Vicforia Plante of Taftville has received the following letter from her son, Leo Jacques, who is in the Naval Reserve. Mr. Jacques was a member of the football team from the Pelham Bay Naval Reserve station that play- ed the Mineola Aviation Schoci New York last Thanksgiving: Charleston, S. C., Sunday, Jan. 27. Dear Mother, Sister and Brother:—1I suppose you are all worrying about me but I'm here all right. We left Norfolk Wednesday morning and ar- rived here Saturday morning and be- lieve me, we were some glad to see land again. It seemed as if we had been away from terra firma for about a month. We had a very rough trip, rougher than coming from New York to Norfolk, but I was not as sick. I weather the storm much better. It was much warmer than the last trip so I stayed on deck the whole trip. I also received your letter {vesterday and it seemed as if I hadn't received any news in a month. The weather is much warmer here than in New York. Went to the Cathedral to mass this morning. A solemn high mass. It was very pretty. After church, we walked around a bit and it reminded me of the Fourth of July at home it was so warm. 1t is very interesting here. ‘This is Dixie. Gping into town ‘we pass large cotton fields and I guess all the negroes in the worlg are here They live in.old tumbledown shacks like chicken coops back home. I was 1 like it much better than I did Nor- folk and it is much warmer which makes it nice, I think we will be here a couple of months anyway. Believe me we were a tired bunch when we hit here. Ilhadn't washed since Tuesday and I was as black as a negro. We saw Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie of Civil War fame on the way into the harbor. T'm sorry to hear that the mill will run on short time but it's the same all over the country, so what lcan we do. We will have to'stang it till it's'all over which 1 hope will be soon and it can’t be too soon for me. Tt will be a long time before I see Taftville again but I guess T won't mind as long as T get news from home once in a while. Com- ing down here wa went by the Gulf Stream.

LEO, Received K. of C. Packages in France. Grand Knizght J. H. Carney of White Cross council, K. of C, has received the foilowing letter from Ray Gordon, who is in France: H France, Jan. 6, 1918. {John H. Carney, Grand Knight, White Cross Council, No. 13, Norwich, Conn. Dear Friend John, and Brothers: Have received both packages semt me by White Cross council, one ar- riving Christmas morning and the other today.. I want to take this op- portunity to thank you for these very much appreciated gifts. Cigarettes and candy are our “long suit” over here and the United States quality can only be obtained from our friends and relatives at home. Brother, John Lyston mailed me a newspaper account of White Croes council service flag unfurling and it sure did make me feel good—forty- seven members at this stage of the game is a creditable showing. We |bave in our company about fifteen brother knights, mostly from San Sal- vador council, New Haven, and Ver- mont councils. T am in good health end getting along first rate in every way—plenty to eat, plenty of sleep, and as you can readily imagine, plenty of exercise and fresh air. With kindest regards to you and all members of White Cross couneil and best of luck to the boys at home that are now in the service, I am Fraternally yours, RAY GORDON. The Explosion at Newport. Everett H. Hiscox, Jr., M, G. Co. C, U. S. N. R. F, has wri the follow- iny interesting letter to his mother, who resides in Jewett City. Newport, R. L, Jan. 30. Dear Mother: The explosion at the torpedo station Saturday was not haif as bad as the papers say. I was in camp at the time and didn’t even hear it. No ome knew about it until it was reported directly after it occurred. Some of the fellows heard it but thought it was the report of a cannon. I was in full charge of the company over Sat % Sunday and Monday, and when the ex- plosion was reported here the machine suns were all ordered out but were not any mail this time as it was probably | in town last night and looked it over.|JU38e: o oo .o LOST AND FOUND_ LOST — A wrist watch, between Square and St Mary's T.
