It s now said that a few drops of a drug called freezone applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out without pain. For little cost a quarter of an ounce of freezone can be obtained from any drug store which is claimed to be suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one’s feet. This is drug recently announced from incinnati. It is gummy but dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels up the corn without nflaming or even irritating the healthy :issue or skin.

In the. town court before Judge W. F. Woodward Thursday morning Cal- vin Killian, who was driving the car that struck and injured Mrs. Milton A. Shumway - Wednesday afternoon, pleaded guilty.to a charge of. reckless driving and was fined $100 and costs, a total .of $110.69, which was paid. In his own defense Killian said that he was not driving excessively fast and that Mrs. Shumway surprised him by stepping out from a place in the street where her approach was hidden by an automobile truck. Court officials .afterwards made it clear that Killian escaped without a more severe penalty only because of the fact that the maximum punish- ment that may be imposed under the vehicle statutes driving. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Shumway was reported as resting easily. Hope continued strong that the nature of her injuries, painful though they are, are such as to make likely the pros- pect for her recovery. The accident in which she was in- jured has again aroused a widespread demand for more rigid enforcement here. of the. motor :vehicle laws pro- viding for very careful driving through the streets of the borough. While there is recognitioh of the fact that the most careful driver may -become in- volved in an accident, there have been countless protests over the manner in which some drivers regularly speed their cars through what is known as the Westfield section. Arthur Lacombe, who was called in for questioning by Coroner A, G. Bill on the strength of reports that he had been racing with Kiilian, was ab- solved from all blame in the case. Coroner Bill saiq that he is satisfied that Lacombe was not racing when the Killian car overtook him and that he was not in any way responsible for the accident. b Goodyear Men R sed. After the registrar of vital statistics for the city of Worcester had verified the birth date of Carl Henry Anderson of Goodyear, that young man was re- leased from custody at the police sta- tion Thursday, after being held over night that his status as an unregis- tered young man might be investi- gated. 3 Anderson was bornm in Worcester Aug. 1, 1899, the city records show, so he ‘is not yet 19 years of age. The fact that'he had told at Goodyear that he was 21, and had no registration card in his possession, led to his ar- rest. 3 John Frisk,” 21, an. Austrian Pole, also of Goodyear, was released Thurs- day afternoon after he had been obli- gated to register. Frisk did not regis- ter-on June 5, and his failure to do this was due, apparently, ¥ a combi- nation ‘of causes. He speaks little English and concerns himself only ever so slightly with the fact that this country is at war. He came to this country just before the outbreak of the war and lived in Chicopee, Mass., before coming to Goodyear, a year ago. He has a mar- ried sister in Chicopee. Officials of the Goodyear company urged Frisk to register, but he failed to do so, with the result that he was arrested. Thursday he showed will- ingness to comply with the selective service: law. As an Austrian subject, he escapes immediate induction into service, a lot' that would have fallen to a citizen had he found himself in Frisk’s place. When released, Frisk said he would return to his work at Goodyear, where he is employed as a weaver. Gas and Electricity to Cost More. An advance in gas and electric rates is announced, to be effective July 1, by the Danielson and Plainfield Gas and Electric company, which supplies service to Danielson, Dayville, Good- vear, Attawaugan, Ballouville, Brook- lyn and the villages of the town of Plainfield, excepting Wauregan. Nathan D. Prince, treasurer of the company, stated that the advance would. be moderate and only sufficient | in degree to allow the company to earn a reasonable return under con- ditions of doing business that are quite extraordinary. Sharp advances in the price of coal. labor and all of the materials that enter into new construction work and repair work have made it necessary for the company to advance rates, as has been done by a large number of lighting concerns in New England, where there is an acute shortage of bituminous coal and of labor. Detailed outline of the advance in rates are to go forward with the July bills to subscribers to the company’s service. Protest Against Speeders. Following the accident in which Mrs, | M. A. Shumway was injured, there came an appeal Thursday from resi- dents of the West Side that action be taken against the automobile and mo- tocycle drivers who are ' making a speedway of the fine thoroughfare that runs’out to Brooklyn. Crossing a is comparatively safe compared to gettinz on to this high- | way, especially in the early evenings. Warnings -by the score have had no effect on the speed kings and there is| a loud and urgent call.for the repre- sentatives of the state automobile de- partment to get busy on this stretch of highway and put, the speeders into | court. - Nothing but good ‘stiff fines, it | is agreed, will have any efféct upon them. is $100 for reckless New Books'at Library.

Clark, who already had' a record of $20,000 worth of war stamps sold. set up another mark for carriers to shoot-at Thursday and incidéntally laid out a fine pace for the stamp subscribers to follow on this ‘registration day by placing a pledge for $1,000 worth. In Putnam ‘today hundreds of per- sons will be expected to put their names on pledge cards bearing an agreement under which they will boost the financial end of the war by agree- ing to take a certain number of stamps periodically.. Putnam has been doing well in absorbing the baby securities that the zovernment is putting out, but® thousands of dollars are being aim- lessly spent here and this money could B0 into stamps, to the advantage of the government and the buyer. As announced a few days ago, the stamps will be on sale in many places today and there will be ample oppor- tunity for everyone to register. Wanted as a Deserter. : Walter Champagne, who was in- ducted into_service through the local board for Division No. 17, Connecticut, and went out. from Willimantic for Camp Devens, is wanted as a deserter for that cantonment.and inquiries rel- ative to his whereahouts were being made here on Thursday.

Highway oil is being used to re-sur- face the highway leading out of this city to Killingly avenue and onward to the Killingly line. All of the wtretch from the cemetery to Killingly was oiled on Thursday and afterwards sanded and the mixture brushed in. Motorists- who happened along didn't relish driving their machines through the mixture of sticky stuff. but were appreciative of the Zood work that Wwas being done and the decided im- provement in the condition of the highway that is certain to follow within a few days. Oil also has been placed on the section of state road leading out of this city from South Main street past the home of the Put- nam Country club. Another Soldier Team Coming. Another soldier: team will be here next Sunday to try conclusions with Manager McDérmott’s Putnam team, and the baseball fans are awaiting with interest the appearance of the Fort Wright team.
