SUBSTATION CHANGE SCARES OFF MEN PATRONS Many a mere man has found the usefulness of the postal substation in the Boston store gone for him since the station was moved from the front of the store at the Ma nstreet entrance to the rear end of that part of the store. To reach the substation now involves a long walk-down an aisle bordered by long counters containing things confusing to the masculine sense and more than one of the male sex has balked at venturing into the strange environment when he found the gauntlet he had to run to run to reach the substation. A propor- tion of male trade has been diverted to the postoffice building. The new location makes a brighter spot for the office than the old one near the front door, enabling the clerks to enjoy daylight all day long where they had formerly had to have electric lights burning in the old office.

On Friday Mr. Benson left son secured two other players in the city and they played on Saturday and Sunday but then Mr. Davidson was notified Sun- day night that these musicians could no longer play for him because the local mu- sicians wmirn ~enid nat allow them to play. Mr. Davidson tried unsuCcessfull to secure otner musiciaus ull belonging to the musicians union but the local union he says, refused to allow them to plaj at his theatre with the result that Mr. Davidson had to discontinue vaudeviile and had to cancel a musical show which he had booked for the coming week. He also was unable to continue showing pic- tures for the reason that he cannot se- cure an orchestra. ‘The next move, said Mr. Davidson, came after the Norwich musicians union held a meeting June 16 and the following com- munjcation was sent to him: “At a meeting of Local No. 235 A. F. of M held June 16th, your petition for con- and | said,, holding that he had done nothing: e said. This time, their propositoin was | chest of gold from the Harley Co., where that he should apologize to Mr. Benson. e which called for any apology. According to what he has been told, said Mr. Davidson, practically all of the la- bor unions of the city are in sympathy with him and most of the members of the Musicians union feel the same way and believe that he has been absolutely upright and square with the union acd deserves better treatment than he has received. According to some of the mem- hers of the union it is the “rawest deal” they have ever heard of. Mr. Davidson is grateful to the people | of Norwich for their patronage and ap- | preciates everything that has been done ! for him and is sorry that he is unable to | continue longer with the theatre but it is solely, he says, through the fait of the Musicians’ union and their method of doing business that compels him to retire ‘from the theatre field. When he leased the Strand theatre from the Shannon estate he spent about $20,- 000, he says, in making numerous im- provements, which included a new seat- ing arrangement, new lighting effects, and redecorating the-interior so that the Strand was one of the prettiest theatres in this city. When hLe opened the theatre, he secured high class vaudeville and¥ for many months the only vaudeville in the city was at the Strand theatre and no expense was spared in securing the best of vaudeville and in making the Strand theatre a leader in the field.

Stanton, in explaining the lack of water at the Andrews' Bake- Ty fire. on Summit street on Thursday afternoon, said that it was due largely to the small six-inch water mains that sup- plied that section of the city with wa- ter. He stated that in 1909 the es | mated pressure was.40 pounds at the| hydrant and that when Stony Brook res- ervoir was annexed to the city’s water| supply the pressure was estimated at| 48 pounds. This pressure when two hydrants are opened is greatly reduced and the friction loss after the hose is| occupied on also helps to reduce the wa- ter at this point. Until the pumper was hooked up the pressure was very low, indeed, and even after that there was ev- dence of vacuum in the main when the pumper drove out the water faster than the main could supply it. ' Chief Stan- ton also said that this condition was so in many parts of the city and that there were miles of 4-inch main in residential sections that would seriously handicap fire fighting in these districts. STATE FARM IS CEOWDED SAYS SECRETARY KELLOGG Secretary Charles P. Kellogg of the state board of charities said Friday that after inspecting the State Farm for Wo- men at East Lyme with Mrs. M. J. Wise of Hartford, the board of which Mrs. Wise. also a member, would ask the 1 general assembly for “a substantial ap propriation” to be used toward the con- struction of suitable buildings. Mr. Kel- logg was asked how large an appropri- ation was likely to be requested. “I can’t go so far as to quote figures,” he replied. Mr. Kellogg explained. that he and Mrs. Wise, whose visit to the State Farm for Women was the quarterly in- spection by members of the state board of charities, found the farm crowded with fifty-seven inmates for whom there Wwere only four houses. The State Farm for Women was es- tablished by the general assembly of 1917 and was opened in July, 1918. MRS.
