CENSUS GIVES NORWICH POPULATION OF 29,685 Census ‘figures for Norwich given out Tuesday -morning from the bureau at ‘Washington showed a population for the town .of 29,685 and of the city 22,304. This is a gain in the past ten years of 1,466 for the town, or 5.2 per cent., and of 1,937 for the city, or 9.5 per cent. The application is really beneficial to the hair and gives it that lively lus- tre so much desired. As it is so easy to obtain a few ounces of the liquid sil- merine from your druggist-—sulficient to keep the hair curly for many weeks —there's no reason now for putting up with either that straight, contrary hair or with the curling iron nulsance. NEW LONDON ELKS ‘WIN ON ALLEYS HERE Baratz of the New London Elks duck- pin team rescued his team from defeat in the first game of their match here Tuesday night with the Norwich Elks by rolling a five spin spare in the tenth frame. Combles of the Norwich team performed a similar service with a spare cleft of the rock, illustrative of the in the tenth frame of the second game.. but the New London Elks rallied with a fusillade of spares and a strike or two in the last game and took it by a mar- gin of 33 pins, which won the match. Each team has now won a match and the rubber will be rolled off next Wed- nesday night on the Norwich alleys. Henry Gebrath, who was supervisor of the Norwich census, said Tuesday night that the figures agreed Wwithin one of the record he had kept since the enumera- tors turned in their lists t6 him when the census was taken at the first of the year. He had made it one more person thought of safety. The dove is also a symbol of the Holy Spirit, as in the case when Jesus was baptized. A very neip- £ul significance is- attached to the eagle. as in Isaiah 40: 31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and be weary, and on both the city and the town counts. * Mr.. Gebrath pointed out that the city of Norwich had annexed the Sunnyside Laurel Hill district, during the last ten years and. that this census of that dis- trict showed 414 names, which would make the city’s gain in population 1,523, counting the same territorial limits as ten years ago. Predictions - had been made that the 1920 census would give Norwich a popu- lation of from. 30,000 to 32,000 and one optimistic Norwich resident had put the figure at 40,000 but thews figures are not ning to come in faster than on Monday, and he expects the.campaign will be well along to a successful finish by the end of the week.

McNeely, a carpenter, of 180 Palmer street, had his left leg broken and suffered bruises and cuts in a fall from a staging Tuesday morning at the garage of Traver Briscoe on Broad street, but Thomas. F. Craney, an- other carpenter at work on the job, saved himself by clinging to the gutter of the roof of the garage and climbing, hand over hand, to safety. The accident happened when a staging upon which the men were working gave away from the building and Mr. McNee- ly fell 16 feet onto some concrete. Mr. Craney was able to crawl along the gut- ter to a part of the staging that ‘held and from there came down the ladder to the ground. Dr. C. C.
