FEDERAL JOB TO ENFORGE DRY LAW Local police authorities will look upon the enforcement of the war-time prohibition law as a matter for fed- eral officials, and will take no notice if any saloon keepers of the city de- cide to cpen their places of business on Tuesday, July 1. This was what Prosecuting Attor- ney Lee Loy Robbins said Sunday night would be his attitude in the matter, ‘as the law was a federal one and the state of Connecticut had passed no legislation on the sub- ject. J bl s Police: Chief George Linton said Sunday afternoon that he would be very glad to receive directions or in- structions from some proper au- thority as to what he might be ex# pected to do, but as things stood now he did not expect fo issue any orders to the officers to make any arrests in case they found saloons open :,Andi doing business Tuesday. Attorney Earl Mathewson is the United States commissioner for this district under whose jurisdiction in- fractions of the federal laws fall. but he has not yet received any instruc- tions from the government of the part he may be expected to take or the means to be used to see that the war- time prohibition law is enforced. ‘What the proprietors will do seems to be a question, though the predic- tion was made Sunday night that most of them would keep closed and were now considering that their bus- iness would take an enforced summer vacation of six or seven weeks with the ‘expectation that they resume business again when President Wil- son acts after the army demobiliza- tion has been declared complete. One proprietor pointed out that he did not want to face a federal prosecution for doing business without a federal license showing that the internal rev- enue tax due Julv 1 had been paid. The law provides that no one can do business unless they have this li- cense to show and no such licenses have been issued this time in return for payments of the tax. Instead of the usual dicense, the internal revenue collector has issued receipts to such proprietors as have forwarded him their checks for the tax. The local Jiquor dealers’ asseciation has called a meeting for this (Mon- day) afternoon, at which doubtless they will receive the latest informa- tion to be given them by the state as- sociation and will decide upon what they will do about Tuesday. In anticipation of the coming dry time, a large sale in bottled liquors was reported Saturday night. though the desire to clean out their stock has not resulted in any pronounced re- duction in vprices, apparently, it was stated hr those who were stocking up their private cellars. WHISTLES, BELLS AND EONFIRE FOR PEACE Bells and whistles in every section of Norwich heralded the news of the signing of the pneace terms by the representatives of the allied nations and Germany on Saturday afternoon. and the celebration was carried on until late in the evening by the local Boy Scouts who had a huge bonfire on Union square. The Associated Press despatch an- nouncing the news from the Hall of Mirrors. Versailles, was received in Norwich about eleven o'clock Satur- day Jmorning. The city officials im- mediately got busy and decided to hold a demonstration at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The big whistle at the United' States Finishing company plant inl Greeneville was the first to start blowing and was auickly followed by whistles at other noints. church bells, | the court house bell and school bells. The school bell at the Falls rang for over a quarter of an hour. At the Davis theatre as soon as the news was received Manager Al Craig ran up a new fiag on the theatre flag pole. This was the first new flag to be run up in Norwich after the news of the signing was received. The Boy Scouts got germigsion from Fire Marshal Stanton to have a bonfire on Union square and they kept it burning briskly until nearly eleven o'clock, All through Satur- day afternoon they were actively at work collecting boxes that were given them by the business houses in the center of the city which they stacked ! up in a big pile near the curb in| front of the Central Baptist church to wait for the time when they could start their fire. At 8.30. though it was still daylight. they could wait no longer and the first pile of boxes was touched off at the spot where they had been stacked up in the center of the square. Chief GIVES ADVICE AS TO FORMING RIGHT HABITS Seldom has there been more enthu- siasm at the Y. M. C. A. “Get To- gether” than wa manifested Sun- day afternoon. At 5.30 o'clock the Swahn orchestra played several se- lections, and accompanied the singing that folswed, the sailors, civilians and ladies wno served all entering hearti- ly into the song service. Prayer was offered by A. S. Knowl- es, the “Y” boys' secretary, after which Allyn L. Brown delivered an | address that held the closest possi- ble attention of the entire audience. He selected as his topic, “Chqjces and Habits.” He emphasized the great need of forming the right kind of habits, mentioning the habits of thrift, honesty and purity, -and s: that when a young man was tempted to be dishonest, if he had formed the habit of hones he resisted the temp- tation to be dishonest and won the victory over the temptation; when a fellow has to combat the temptation to be impure, if only he has through the years formed the habit of purity, he is buttressed by the habit and the re- sult is that he is a victor instead of a victim. The power of a bad habit is just as strong as that of a good habit, and if a man has developed the bad habits, when the test comes he goes down in failure and loses out. ‘Theodore Roosevelt was a splendid example of the habit of choosing the right and sticking to it until the victory was won; in several cases Mr. Roosevelt demonstrated that he was unafraid to do the right thing even though it might cost him popularity. On one occasion when a delegation of labor men asked of him a favor, they said “You are not going back on labor are you?” His reply was, “I will do anything for labor but that which is wrong.” In closing, I want to urge you to choose Jesus Christ, who can Stanton was on hand to see that the{and will help you to develop habits proper regulations were observed to insure safety sand a group of Scouts in uniform Wjth their Scout staffs made a ring around the fire to e that no one got too near. From time to time as the nile burned down more material was added from the re- serve supnly near the church, while a good sized crowd watched the bon- fire till all the boxes were burned. COMMISSIONER TELLS WHERE DETOURS ARE NECESSARY that are right: we read in John 3:16, that “God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosoever veth in Him, might rot perish but have everlasting life.” certainly wonderful how Ged loves us; no matter how bad we have been in life, He will forgive us if we will come to.

Mrz. Rosina N. Rudd passed peace- fuliy to her rest on Thursday last at her residence, Woodside, Norwich Town, surrounded by five of her seven daughters. Although the deceased was 2 lady of advanced years, neverthe- less almost up to the day of her death she exhibited an anxious, zealous and intensely loving interest in all chari- table work and her many relatives and friends. She possessed a lovely Christian disposition—hard to express in words—which radiated from every word she spoke. Her sole aim was. to make, not only those by whom she was immediately surrounded, but all she came into contact with, happy. A arge—gap which will never be filled will be left not only in the congrega- tion of Grace church, Yantic, which she was a faithful and much loved member, but in ‘the homes and lives of all those who had the privi- lege of knowing her.

Helium, the new incombustible ballon gas, so called because it was discovered on the sun ) years ago, before if was identified on earth, which promises to rvolutionize the science of ballooning, is the subject of the following communication to the National Geographic Society by Dr. G. Sherburne Rogers: o ““When the United States joined the Allies, the military value of helium was at once breught to the attention of the army and navy authorities and a vigororus campaign was begun for the production of helium in quantities. “The two main problems were ob- | vious; first to develop methods of ex- tracting helium from the natural gas: and, second, to determine the geologic occurrence of the gas, and so locate adequate supplies. “Late in 1917 two small experiment- al plants using different methods were erected in Fort Worth, Texas, to treat the gas of the Petrolia field, and some months later a third plant, using a still different method, was! erected in the field itself. “The helium-bearing area of K sas is far larger than any yet dis- covered in Texas and contains a number of fields which in the aggre- gate yields much more gas than Pe- trolia. The old Dexter field, in which the helium-bearing gas was first dis- covered, is now exhausted, though the| carly difficulties in the way of burning | the gas were overcome, and for years it was produced in large volumes and | used as fuel. “To light a gas stove in Dexter, however, always was a difficult feat, and it became a matter of pride on the. part of cvery good housewife to devel- | op the dexterity necessary to this op- eration. The stove was first filled with! cumpled newspapers, which was set afire; then the gas was turned on, its flow being skillfully manipulated, un- | til by the time the paper had burned out the gas had become hot enough to | take fire. | “As the apparatus used in all these processes of extracting helium gas for balloon purposes require rather delicate adjustment and manipulation, | some time was natually consumed in! determining the most efficient working | | conditions; but just prior to the arm-; istice the first shipment of 150,000 cubic feet of helium, compressed and stored in steel tanks, had been started to Burope. This was enough to fill 4 of the ordinary kite balloons, though the large dirigibles require one or two million or more cubic feet of gas. “Although quantity production of helium was achieved just too late to| ke of value in the astual hostilities, it! was in itself a great accomplishment, | for the world's total output of helium up to 1915 was probably less than 100 cubic feet, the market vaiue of which ! wa sabout $1,700 a cubic foot. Our! helium can be produced by the first two methods at less than 10 cents a cubic foot, and if the third process fulfills expectations, this figure will be still further reduced. “The details of the process of ex- | tracting helium are highly technical, jbut the general scheme is easily un- derstood. All of the main constituents of natural gas, including the nitro- gen, become liquefied when cooled to about—328 degrees Fahrenheit; but the helium remains a gas at this exceed- ingly low temperature and is thus easily separated. “The principle by which these low ternperatures are attained is one known to every motorist who is fort- j unate enough to have to pump his own tires. When air is compressed in a tire it 1 i ' Attention Members! A special meeting of the Greeneville Hook and Ladder Ca. will be held in MONDAY BVENING, June 30, at 8 o'clock.
