SALOON KEEPERS AWAIT ADVICE it was learned Friday night, are awaiting with great expectancy some word that may be received from the state liquor dealers association having a bearing on whether they will be able to open their places of business on the morn- Norwich saloon keepers, ing of July 1st or whether the en- forcement of war-time ° prohibition would oblige them to keep their doors shut. One well known dealer was report- ed to have been malking offers to bet | 30 t 1 that his pace would be open on next Tuesday morning, while one prominent man connected with whole- sale interests in the city can see nothing but an absolute embargo on business and no prospects of its con- tinuance under any circumstances Marg- of them are banking on the expectation that as soon as the six- natures have been affixed to the peace treaty, President Wilson will declare the war-time prohibition kuw of no effect since peace has come and the war is over. Some are willing to ad- mit that possibly there may be a short period during which they may be obliged to keep closed while the legal steps are being taken to test the constitutionality of the prohibitory law, but feel confident that the su- preme court will never declare the law | The observance of this day of prot constittujonal .and tin this attitude they are supported by the advice from officials of the state association. Daisy Day Protest. T. F. FitzSimmons, secretary of the Connecticut Wine, Liguor and Beer Dealers’ Association has sent circu- lar letters to all the members of the asociation requesting them to observe next Monday as “Daisy Day!' the day of protest. against war time prohib- tion and. Constitutional prohibition. will mark the beginning of the legal fight which will be made against the tWo manstges. It is planned on Monday to have at every. saloon and bar where liquor is dispensed a large number of daisi and each patron when he buys his nip will' be given a daisy to wear in pro- test against prohibition. As it is the ! last day of liquor and the last chance for indulgence there will be a large demand for daisies. If one daisy goes with each drink some of those in town will be wearing a wreath by nightfall, Said one prominent dealer, when he read the letter Friday, “I know a fleld where I can get a million daisies. T;:ere‘ll be plenty to hand out in this city.” LOCATED LOST CANDY IN CITY ASH WAGON Twenty-five dollars worth of fresh candy that had been purchased here early Friday afternoon by a Greek who runs a store in New London was rescued just in time from a trip to the dump and restored to its own- e rthrough the prompt work of Officer Barney Keenan. The candy buyer bought his goods trustfully | left the good sized package on the curb on Franklin square, next to the! “no parking” sign near the corner of| Ferry strect. Not wishing to carry the package while he went to a place cn Water street to pay a bill, he asked the woman clerk in the store in front of which his package was standing to keep an eve on it. She readily agreed to do so and he went on his errand. When he returned the package was gone from the curb and the woman clerk could shed no light on what had become of-it for she had been too! busy to keep watch. An appeal to the police followed and Officer Keenan was told to see what he could do to find the valuable lot of missing candy. The trail was fruif less until he located a voung man ini a pool room across the street frum{ where the package had been left. He along, pick up the package and toss it onto_a wagon. “What nd of a wagon?’ was Keenan's next question. “I don’t know, but it had sides on it.” was the answer. Aha, the ash wagon,” said the offi- cer to himself, and ctarted out to lo- cate it. Tnquiry at the city barn gave no information as to where the ash wagon might be, and the officer re- turned to Franklin square, pondering what to do next. As he stood there, what should heave into sight but the wanted ash wagon, on its way to the dy unharmed. The men on the wagon had no idea of the value of the package which they were about to cast away and were much surprised when Officer Keenan rescued it and handed it over to the grateful Greek who took the next trol- ley for New London. DL'LL.'TI—N RE#ZHES SOLDIER WHEN LETTERS DID NOT Corporal Whitney M. Vergason. who has been in the American army in the salvage department of the aviation, corps, surprised his relatives in this city and his parent: iel B. Vergason of North Stonington, by arriving at their home Wednesday evening, the first that they had heard from him since last April. Letters that had been written to him had been re- turned and they feared that some- thing must have happened to him as they were unable to get any track of | where he might be. He, too, had beent cut off from them for the last letter he recelved was in the latter part of April. He has been all over France doing repair work on airplanes in the year that he has been overseas. At the close of his ser- | vice he was put into a casual com- pany to facilitate his return home and about ten days ago, as he was strap- ping his hazgage to his motorevele, he was handed a package of Norwich Bulletins, papers with an April date on them. From them he had for the first time the sad intelligence that his wife. Margaret Combies. had died | on April 20. The Bulletin was sent to Corporal Vergason regularly while he was in the army.

Y., is building the highest electric power line in the world. Starting at Bella-Vista, at an elevation of 12,500 feet, it crosses the continental divide at an elevation of 16,000 feet, near Ticilo, which is the highest railroad station in the world. On the west coast of Peru there are several rapid streams, among them the Rio Rimac, which has its source near the top of the continental divide, about 100 miles inland from Callao, where it empties into the Pacific. On its way to the otean the Rio Rimac passes through Casapalca, where the Backus & Johnston Company have a large copper smelter. Some years ago this company constructed a small hy- dro-electric plant of 300 kw. at point a short distance above Casapal- ca; and when, four years later, they decided to double the capacity of the smelter and install copper convert- ers, which of course meant more oower, it was decided to develop wa- ter power at Bella-Vista, five miles be- low Casapalca. In the wet season, or for nine months of the year, sufficient water is available to develop 2250 kw., but during the dry season, June to September, there is only one-third of this amount. The dam was built of concrete and the intake made of two compartments so arranged that one of them at a time can be shut off and cleaned without interfering with the operation of the system. This feature is very import- ant, because of the fact that between 400 and 500 tons of slag is dumped into the river from the blast furnaces at Casapalca every 24 hours. The canal, which is \about one mile in length, is cut in solid rock and is entirely open except for one tunnel 500 feet long at the intake end. The power house is located at Bella-Vista, meaning beautiful view, on the Cen- tral railroad of Peru. Its dimensions are 100 feet by 35 feet, and the equip- ment consists of three three-phase 60- cvele horizontal alternators, each rat- ed 750 kw. The generators are di- rect-connected to impulse water- wheels working under a head of 250 feet, and are fitted with direct con- nected exciters. The switchboard con- sists of two generators and two trans- former panels. The transformers are of the three-phase, water-cooled type, and are of the same capacity as the tors. They are operated in inle and transform the voltage from 2000 to 10,000. The transmission line is supported » by 25.000-volt porcelain insulators mounted on iron pipe poles spaced 150 feet apart. Most of the material for these lines, as well as that for the dam and canal, was carried by llama and The equinment of the bus-station at The Vernon Stiles Inn £ BEAUTIFUL THOMPSON, CONN. 38 Miles from Norwich Excellent Table, Fine Golf Links.

Those were the days when battery men reaped a golden harvest, especial- ly in the Spring after cars had been idle during Winter months and the deadly sulphating had paralyzed the battery plates. This ruinous sulphating causes 90 per cent of all battery troubles, such as “plat buckling,” “loss of power,” “over heating,” etc., so imagine the feelings of battery men when a bat- tery, to fit all cars, appeared that was positively free from this sulphating. Besides the covered, connecting straps are protected against corrosion and short circuiting, the locked grids pre- vent shedding of acitve material.
