BOYS PERPETUATED USUAL NORWICH CUSTOM The time-honored custom of burning barrels on Thanksgiving night - was carried out on Thursday night by the various gangs of boys in the city who built_their fires on all the high hills rounding the town. -The display this year was not so large as in years previous owing to the fact that ear- lier in the fall Mayor Desmond re- quested that the boys refrain from burning barrels” owing to war condi tions. With the signing of the armis- tice and the war over the boys took it for granted that the ban on barrel burning was off and started out to get them but owing to the short length of time they were not able to accu- mulate the usual numbers. There were fires in several places on the West Side, Greeneville, Laurel Hill and on Franklin street. The rain which started: early in the evening kept away the usual crowds that ga- ther to see the large strings of barrels burn, FUNERAL. Mrs, Michael Brown.

Pitiless publicity was to blame, to a considerable extent, said some of the fox hunters of the town Thursday night, for the fact that but one fox was shot in the Thanksgiving day roundup in the Wauwecus Hill neigh- borhood. One of the most veracious and best known of the hunters even came in with the story that one day this week he caught sight of a chipper looking dog-fox sitting crosslegged on a rail fence out that way anxiously seanning last Saturday’s Bulletin, in which the full details of the hunt were set forth. After that he said he knew it was all off; for every wily old Key- nard in two counties would quickly get the news, and the word would be passéd to lie low on Tadma on Thanksgiving day. . Such proved to be the case, too, for up until late in the evening it ap- peared that the hunters had been skunked and hadn’t even got a shot at a streak of rapidly disappearing red fur. But along about 9 o'clock M. F. Pounch of this city, who was one of the prime movers in the hunt, got a telephone message from Dan Marra, a noted Salem hunter, that he had shot a fox just as it was growing dusk. But it was a great day, nevertheless, every one was agreed. some 15.dogs in all on bhand, tuned up for the occasion, with about 25 hunters and those who came to see the -hunt, the 10 gallons of chowder that they consumed in the neighbor- hood of Ed Lathrop’s cider mill was pronounced the finest chowder that ever splashed from a ladle, the keg of russet cider was exquisitely mellow, and the apples and cigars were the; best that could be wished. As far as the hunting honors of the day went, they were accorded to Charles Alexander’s old New England hounds, it was reported Thursday night. They started their first fox about 6.30 in the morning and ran him as far as Tadma pond. But here the wily Reynard played a little trick on the dogs that earned him his life. ' He ventured out on the thin ice on the lower end of the pond and wae making good progress across until he struck a soft spot and went into the water. The dogs followed on to the ice, but it There were ! DAN MARRA ‘BAGS THE ONLY FOX | About 9 o'clock Alexander's dags started another fox on'Bear Hill. This was the one that Marra shot after an all-day chase by'the dogs. hunters claimed that the performances of the day had only borne out Alex- ander’s arguments that he preferred the old New Englands every time. The thoroughbred Walkers from the south that were entered by one or two hunters failed to make a showing in the hunt. It was reported also that Anse Bur- i gess’ dog ran a fox for a'considerable distance, but no one got a ‘shot at him. Honors for being early on the field j Were accorded to Reuben P. Potter and John Lyman, who were reported to have been waiting on Tadma as early as 5.30, prepared to get the first fox that left his nest. ‘When the crowd gathered for the chowder, the sharpshooters tried their skill and a lot of powder was burned in trick and fancy shooting to the edification of the onlookers. A flock of ducks on Tadma pond also furnish- ed targets for those who wanted to try their sights. All present expressed their inten- tion to be on hand for the next hunt that will be arranged for the not far distant future. . The original list of entries included: Reuben P. Potter, one pair Red 1 Bone; Will Lathrop, one pair New Hampshire black and tans; John Ly- man, one pair Pennsylvania black and jtans; Warren Whitehead, one Ver- mont Buckfield; Will Church, one pair New England foxhounds; Charles Al- exander, one pair old New England; Charles Perkins, one pair; John Lil- lian, one dog; Lon Pierce, one dog; Henry Everhardt, one dog; Roy Lath- rop, one dog; Bert Grandy, one dog: Frank Chapman, one pair; E. C. Gay, one thoroughbred Walker; M. F. Pounch, one pair Walker; Ted Brand, one dog; James Lathrop, one dog; W. Habells, one dog; W. H. Jennings, one dog; C. Cole, one dog; G. H. Mor- | gan, one dog; T. Day, one dog; D. Marra, one dog; W. A. Burgess, two dogs. COUNTY DIRECTORS FOR BOYS' WORKING RESERVES W. D.

A. has offered the services of the county Y. M. C. A. sec- retaries to supervise the boys placed on farms next season. It is thus pro- pcsed to assure parentis that the boys will be well looked affer. Many principals of high schools have already signified their intention of using the farm craft lessons, rec- ocmmended by the federal department of labor as a means of giving tie boys preliminary training in farm prob- lems. Major General Lucien F. Burpee, commander of the Connecticut State Guard, has expressed his readiness to organize in the hizh schools a Juvnior State Guard, in which all bovs down to the age of 16 may receive military training under srate guarq officers. Tke only requirement will be that the high schools furnish’snitabla drilling halls and provide at least 59 boys each school who desira this training. It is not intended to limit the training to high school boys. for any boy may juin. Boys will wear uniforms. simi- lar to these of the State Guard. Hon, Ben S. Allen, director of the educational department of the federal fcod administration. has informed Mr. Hood that “the United States must fced the world ani keep miliions from starving, but before this can be one, there must be food tc send. Of course there cannot be erough food to send unless enough is raised. “To raise enough there must be enough workers, and the doys of this country must help, not a few of them, but all. The United States Boys’ Working Reserve must lead the way— a shining example to other boys and to grown-ups.” “The address of Mr. Hoover to l'h‘ state administrators is an indicall «f the momentous problem which Dn!y increased production caa soive.” APPOINTED SECRETARY IN K.

Record breaking holiday crowds at- tended all four performances at the Davis theatre on Thanksgiving day. The bill was up to the usual standard, the' three acts being very goed. The headliner act was a comedy sketch, Handkerchief 13, presented by Fre- mont-Benton Co. Local theatregoers recognized the two female characters as being one time favorites here with the Poli Players. Armstrong -and James, two blackface minstrel boys, present a clever offering in a singing, talking and dancing sketch.

The whole menu was made up of products of the farm. Through the generosity of George W. Carroll and others the children at the Rock Nook and County homes were given the usual Thanksgiving dinner, which it goes without saying that they thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell had charge of the plans for the dinner. The ‘Sheltering Arms also shared in Mr. Carroll's generosity, and here the usual Thanksgiving dinner was served.

Kane and Police- man Matthew Delaney, as a develop- ment of a case in which a complaint was made last August, but which was dropped at that,time :t is understood because of lack of evidence. A clue that the police- ran across Thursday night reopened the case and resiilted in the finding of four coats, which it is claimed werz in a trunk that B. Mandell bought from P. Laza- roff last August. Delivery he trunk was made to Mandell hy s, Laza- roft in her husband’s absence. When he returned and found the trunk was gone he told her that it hsl contained § or. 10 coats when she delivered it to Mandell. Mandell, meanwhile, had given the trunk to Istney, who denied all knowledge of the coats anl none were found when the police at that time searched the trunk at his house. Ac- cordingly the case was dropned. Thursday night, however, when the police followed up their new clue, they found some coats at Istney’s house, which Lazaroff says are part of the lot of xmssmg garments.

BRITISH ARMIES HAD 4.000 CASES OF ENTERIC FEVER London, Nov. 28—In the great war the British arm: had only 4,000 cases of enteric fever in over four years, despite the fact that the troops have frequently been billeted in areas in- fested with the disease, This is at- tributed to the efforts of the British Army Medical Service. Medical offi- cers say that illness among the Brit- ish army has been reduced to a mini- mum. Sanitation and inoculation have been primarily responsible for this happy state of affairs, To understan® the strides that have been made it must be remembered that during the two and a half years of the South African war there were more than 50,000 cases of enteric among a force of 200,000 men and this in a country practically immune from the disease up to the outbreak of hos- tilities. Y Throughout the British army in France inféctious diseases have been practically. eliminated. Every officer in the British army has been given a course in sanitation. Successful tox- ins and vaccines have been invented for gas, gangrene, etc, ‘and huge strides have been made in the advance of surgery.
