Suit against the town of Norwich for $10,000 damages -has been brought by Hyman Burchman of West Main street near Maple street for the death of his son Isadore, who was killed when he was run over by an automobile on West Main street on July 7th last year. The father brings the 'suit as administrator of his son’s estate. In the papers filed in the case at the superior court clerk’s office Wednesday afternoon, the claim is that there were numerous depressions, or pot holes, in the surface of West Main street, near Dunham street, which is the part of the street outside of .the city limits, and that the fatal accident was c&ua_erl through 'one of these. The boy Was rid- ing a bicycle in the street at the time of the accident and it is claimed that the bicycle wheel hit one of these, causing the machine to swerve suddenly and to. throw the Burchman boy off in the path of an automobile driven by Clement Jou- bert of Taftville, which ran over the boy and instantly Killed him. The claim is that the town was neg- FIRST MARKET GUIDE FOR THIS SEASON IS ISSUED The first Norwich market guide of the season is issued today by E. L.

As previously explained these reports will_keep the -producers informed in Te- gard to market prices und demand ana it is expected will have a stabilizing in- fluence on the market. Special reports will be issued from time to time advis- ing housewives When various crops are in heavy supply and can therefore be pur- Today's guide covers the Vegetables and fruits most important at the pres- ent time. Unless ‘otherwise stated. the prices are for products of good average ality. Poorer grades, it is pointed out, may sell for less. The ligt. it is explained, will necessari- Iy be somewhat restricted for the first few days until the organization for gath- ering market information and preparing it for publication I8 further perfected. The list will be expanded gradually un- til it covers completely all fruits and vegetables of reasonable importance. The market report is prepared by the local representative from information col- lected cach morning from various farm- ers and market gardeners who sell m Norwich and from various wholesalers and retailers. The principal fruits and vegetables in- cluded in today’s report are grouped un- der three headings—“active demand for,” ‘moderate demand for,” and “slow d pand for.” This grouping will be fol- lowed each day, the make-up of the groups changing with changes in mar- ket conditions. Producers will thus be kept informed concerning those products which are in most demand and con- sumers can thus expect a larger sup- ply to arrive. Consumers who are look- ing for bargains can often secure them from the “slow-demand-for” list as those products which are selling slowly are usually the cheapest also.

Mr. O'Neill has been confined to the hospital for. several w having been removed there from New York, where he had been receiving treatments for acutc stomach trouble.

I tire should be built as well as a tire of that type can be built. + Cord Tires cost more than Fab- rics, and are worth the extra price. Men who figure cost per mile are coming to Cord Tires. But any tire, Cord or Fabric, should be built for the utmost ser- wice which that type can give. Some Men Over-Pay Some men pay extra prices, ex- pecting extra mileage. Some pay under prices for an under-grade, and hope to save in that way. Both are wrong. There may be exceptions — there are always freak tires. But countless tests have proved that Miller Tires'at Miller prices, on the laverage, give the lowest cost per mile. And Miller Tires, both Cord and Fab- ric, cost about the standard prices. which Miller Tires must meet. First, they must average greater mileage, type for type, than any rival tire. « We constantly prove this. Eight machines in our factory run two tires each under rear-tire conditions. Each tire is run 650 miles daily by running extra-fast. best other tires with Millers. Won Over 21 Makes The Eldorado Stage Co. of Los Angeles tested 21 other makes against Miliers on 12-passenger Packard Buses, weighing 8,600 pounds loaded. In this supreme test Millers won by long'odds, on long-distance uniformity. Here we constantly compare the Also in ceaseless road tests. Thus, day by day and week by week, we are guarding the Miller supremacy, mi Every Tire Signed We insist that Millers must be uniform. Each tire is signed. A record is kept of the maker, the in- spector and the process. If a tire comes back for adjust- ment we learn the reason. If the workman is at fault he is penalized. If the inspector overlooked a flaw he is held responsible. If any proc- ess or material is at fault, we cor- rect it. After years of this checking we've attained uniform tires. There are whole large cities from which not a Miller Tire came back last year. Treads Must Endure Miller Treads, by our standard, must outwear the balance of the tire. We have attained a tread which outwears rivals by 25 per cent. Every day our tread stock is vul~ canized, then tested, in our labora- tory. We permit no variation. Not a single Miller Tire with these new-grade treads has ever come back with the tread gone, Not 20,000 Miles Countless reports come to us on Miller Cord Tires showing 20,000 to 28,000 miles of service. And tales of that kind are told everywhere, we learn. . 5 But mileage depends on condi= tions — on size, care, load and road. Millers are uniform, but they are not used under uniform conditions. ; ! In our factory tests we average 15,000 miles on Cords. ¢+ But a Miller Tire will outlast— almost always—any tire that you place opposite, no matter what it costs. Compare them under like conditions, and see what mileage modern tires can give. You will gain a new criterion. When you buy a new car insist on Miller Tires.
