NOTICE Commencing June 1, 1918, the price of gas furniehed by this department wfll be as follows: Up to 30,900 cu. ft. per munth $1.50 per 1,000 cu. ft. 30,000 to. 150,000 cu. ft. per month $1.30 per 1,000 cu. ft. for. entide amount used. ¥ All over 150,000 cu. ft. per month $1.15 per 1,000 cu. ft. for _entire amount used. No bilis will be rendered, however, at a less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum ambunt at the rate of the preceding block. In making this fncrease, your Com- missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that, because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and Lll material entering into the ml.ml'x uring of gas, it is impossible to sell the prod- uct at the present priee. . It is hoped that this increase wm be but temporary, for, as soon as co;diuonl wnr:u! the pflce will_be reduced. The City o{ Norwich Gas and Electrical Department Experts in Shooting Train Camps in Use of Rifles. The National Army and many or- ganizations of the ‘National - Guard having been equipped with the United States rifle, model of 1917 (modified Enfield), vise some plan whereby troops could be efficiently trained in the use of this weapon in short time. A statement authorized by the Ord- nance Department tells how experts in shooting, many of them members of United States teams which have won international shooting matches, were commissioned and sent to various camps to IMstruct officers and men in shooting and in the operation-and care of the rifle. In one camp officers under mstruct- ion from these men gave a demonstra- tion in dismounting and assembling this rifle While blindfolded, the record time being 7 minutes for dismounting 22 minutes for, assembling. There are 86 parts to the rifle. These officers in. turn instruit mechanics classes, the mechanics being trained to make repairs to.rifles in the field. Frequently they will have to do.their work at night, when .they will not be allowed to use lights, and there- fore they most be thoroughly trained in taking down the rifle and putting in new parts by sense of touch. Motor Truck Companies Get Training in Driving at Night. Night driving of motor-truek supply trains from the West to the seaboard has heen started by the Quarter- master’s Department as a step toward final training to fit men for service in France. According to the Council of National Defense, the experience gained in cross-country convoy work has made the truck companies able to travel en- tirely «dndependent of the countryside. Camps are made at the regular hour, no matter where the company is lo- cated, except that open country is cities. < Communal Kitchens Save Food in Great Britain. Communal kitchens are being estab- lished throughout Great Britain and are proving successful in saving food | anq fuel, *according to reports to the Department of Commerce. An article from a recent issue of an English newspaper is quoted: } “The war has brought home to the public that the communal or national kitchen is a necessity and can be made a .success. ‘WHthin a comparatively short period there will probably be installed many hundreds of these e tablishmens throughout the coun The national kitchen was origina intended to supply poor .people with nourishing and attractively prepared food at low prices, but there is con- siderable prospect—eertainly, in fact— that the more prosperous will form a fflu‘ proportion of the customers. As an example of the outfit of a people’s kitchen that at Hemmersmith {London) may be taken as a model. This supplies about 6,000 customers a week, which probably represents 12,000 to 15,000 consumers, as a cus- tomer commonly purchases for his or her- family.” Councils of Defense Will Advise War- Risk Claimants. THe Council of National Defense has urged the State councils to provide voluntary aid for dependents of men in the service in collecting allotments of pay and family allowances, arrears f v, travel pay, extra pay, or other due estates of deceased soldiers ilors. ments and allowances under the wdr-risk insurance law are paid di- vectly by the Treasury Department to the persons entitled thereto: claims for insurance taken out under the law hould be addressed to Bureau 0(' War- sk Insurance, Treas: 2 ‘Washington, D.

Swmdlers‘ Trick Takes Money Sent to Soldiers. Relatives and friends of séveral sol- diers in Army camps.have been vic- timized by swindlers, who wiréa or wrote for funds under soldiers’ names. In each i stance it was re- quested that money be sent by wire waiving identification, or by mail to general delivery, the customary ex- planation being that the soldier had been discharged and Would have no way of securing identification, nor of getting mail addressed to hifi com- pany. The following is a typical telegmm. sent to the father of a soldier in a southern camp: “Have been discharged, Coming home. Going through country tonight. Please wire me $60 at Atlanta so I may pay_for - uniform and come home direct. ‘Wave identifi- cation as 1 am not khown in Atlanta. Wire cash quick so I' can get it to- morrow morning:” ‘Before being complied with, any re- quest for money to be sent under such conditions should be verified by a let- ter or telegram to the commanding fiticer of the camp in which the man whose name is signed to the request is stationed. Optical Glass Is Now Manufactured in the United States. Optical glass’ equaling the product of Iuropean manugacturers, from whom only it formerly could be ob- tained, is now being produced for military use by the Bureau of Stand- ards of the United States Department of Commerce and several privately owned factories. One Shipment.’ from the glass factory in Pittsburgh, for use by the Navy Department, con- tained 780 pounds of high-grade opti- cal glass— enough to provide lenses for probably 750. binoculars. Development in glass manufacturing in the United States has been similar to that of dye making. Before the war manufacturers of optical goods ih this country were content to import all their glass from Europe, themselves doing only the grinding, polishing, and mounting. -European -glass factories, one of the three Jlargest being located in England, one in France; and one in Germany were closely guarded to uro- tect secret§ of the trade sometimes a century old. It was 'considered im- possible to produce efficient glass with- out formulas and. factory processes nil mentation. One of the proBlems facing the Bu- reau of Standards when, with optical companies in America, it started -to replace with locally made products the supply of European optical glass which had been cut off by the war, was to provide suitable pots for melt- ing..
