At 9.45 o'clock Sunday evening the fire depart- ment was called out by an alarm from box 14, corner Thames square, for a small blaze in the grocery store at No. 152 West Main street conducted by My« Bucovetsky. The firemen found upon arrival that the blaze was caused by defective wiring leading from the top of a®wall back of a counter down to an electric lamp on the counter. The wires were yanked down by the firemen. Beyond the fact that the store was fuld of smoke, there was .nu damage. The wiring was evidently done by an amateur, for it was nailed in various Dplaces on a narrow strip of wood fasten- ed to the wall. ' The proprietor of the store was admonisned to employ an elec- trician for such work hereafter. The re- call was sounded shortly after the alarm NORFOLE-NEW LONDON . BOAT LINE PLANNED To make New London the gateway of Connecticut and southern Massa- chusetts for water freight through the establishment of a Norfolk-New London boat line, is a plan which is now being worked out by the Manufacturerss’ As- sociation of Connecticut. If that de- sired end is attained it will be but a step further to make the port a term- inus for trans-Atlantic freight service that will have its headquarters at the state pier. Northbound tonnage has al- ready been guaranteed for the new ship line and four ships have been made available for it. The problem now is to get Connecticut shippers interested enough to promise tonnage. The Manufacturers’ association, realiz- ing the need for a gateway for the state of Connecticut and wishing to get away from the port of New York, as a transfer point, has concluded an ex- haustive investigation into ports and shipping conditions in the state. One| resuit of the investigation is the con- clusion that there is absolute need of additional shipping and transportation faciiities in this state, and it is definitely known that unless such facilities are forthcoming shortly, many of New Eng- land’s larger industries located in Con- | necticut will be forced to move else- where in order to benefit by more rapid and less costly freight rates, than they are able to obtain at the present time in this state. The plans of the Manufacturers’ asso- ciation i8 to establish first a freight line between New London and Norfolk, Va.| Arrangements have been completed at ! Norfolk where wharfage storage and | transportation facilities will be in read- | iness as soon as the line can be start- ed. Tonnage has been carefully looked after in the sourthern port and enough has already been secured to guarantee | the successful operation of the line from the Norfolk end. | All that is need now to make the line | between New London and Norfolk. an actual existing fact is the securing by the Manufacturers association of infor- mation that tonnage in sufficient amount will be forthcoming from this end of the line to guarantee complete success of the project. When it becomes known | that Connecticut firms can ship from this port at a much less freight rate than they can through New York city, it is anticipated that the line will have more than enough business to keep it in_operation. Four steamships of the coastwise type have already been secured by the back- | ers of the line who have been assured of financial backing. According to the present plans two trips per week will be made, and as the volume of trade in- creases, the number of sailings per week will likewise increase, and it . is hoped that finally a daily sailing may | be scheduled. The opening of this line will establish a means for the c ual flow of mer- chandise from .Connecticut and south- ern New England to the southern states of the Atlantic seaboard and at a freight | rate much lower that is charged at the present time. The Manufacturers’ association has al- | ready been assured of considerable ton- nage for exit through this port, but ir order to determine an approximate | amount that would be received, and in | order to secure expressions of approval | of merchants, shippers, and indnstrial heads throughont the state, and to ac- quaint them with full information con- cerning the proposal the association has sent out the following bulletin and questionnaire to all leading corcerns in the state: | Linen Shower A linen shower was given Miss Jean- nette Bearman at the home of Miss Pauline Turkel, in Camp street, Provi- dence, Thursday evening. Mrs. Charle: BroWwn, Mrs. Sol Cohen and Mrs. A. H. Schneider served a large gathering of friends. Vocal solos were rendered by Miss Sally Taber and Miss Hattie Klein.

The other fire occurred about 8.23 o'clock Sunday morning, when the de- partment received a still alarm for” a small blaze'at No. 58 Shetucket street, occupied by Walter Moran as a stotage battery plant. The fire was about the motor used in connection with the busi- ness and probably resulted from the re- action of the electricity when the com- mercial current, which went off during the thunder storm earlier in the morning, came on again. About the only damage was to the insulation on wires leading to the motor, which burned off for some dis- tance. The fire was. discovered by people in the immediate neighborhood and as they couldn’t reach the Central station by telephone, owing to the fact that the 'phone they tried to use was one of those put out of commission by the electric storm, they sent an automobile to the station to summon the firemen. 19TH ANNUAL ART EXHIBIT OPENS AT OLD LYME The 19th annual exhibition of the art- ists of Old Lyme opened Saturday. The exhibit comprises about 40 paintings and about sketches. The dominating note is the “Paysage.”” The -great out of doors has always im- peratively attraced the Lyme painters. Lawton Parker, Frank Dumond and a few others' have sent figure subjects in the open air, Ivan Olinski a figure in- doors: “Tosca,” Lucian Abrams are en- tered. ¥rank Dumond's “Robin Hood” is a very attractive and decorative can- cas, well composed, 2 story charmingly told and extremely pleasing. Another decorative canvas, is Harry L. Hoffman's “On Guard” in which a golden haired mermaid gleefully disports herself und- er sea, to the infinite disgust of a dis- gruntled lobster on the ocean floor. Mr. Hoffman has spent several wint- ers at Nassau observing under sea life and the resulting studies and sketches are many and beautiful. Color being tive quality keenly observed. Will H. Foote gends two Bermuda studies this year, both very-attractive and as usual, brillian with sunlight. Clark Voorhees who also fied the rig- ors of the Lyme winter shows two Ber- muda landscape studies, fine and deli- cate as an old Japanese print. Strong landscapes are shown by Ed. Gregory Smith in “The Little Black Eridge.” Charles Ebert’s “Approaching Storm,”.a powerful depiction of the Monhegan shore. William Chadwick’s “Monarch of the Marsh,” Willlam S. Robinson’s “June Idyl,” Guy Wiggins shows two thoroughly good paintings “The Quiet Valley” and a smaller but equally at- tractive one “The Connecticut Valley.” The first mentioned together with “The Mill Stream” by Everett Warner and Ice Cutters” by Woodhull Adams form a trio of cool subjects refreshing to see these hot days. In imagination you feel the breath of the north wind across thes flelds of ice and snow scin- tillation under the low flung rays of a January sun. Other Landscapes of interest are by Frank Bickpell, George Wilson Irvine, Bruce Crane and George B. Burr. The animal painters are well repre- sented. There are good examples by William . Howe, Carlton Wiggins, Matilda Brown and Percival Rosseau with his fleld dogs. These last are in a class by themselves and to the sports- man bring vivil memories of frosty mornings in autumn every nevre atingle with the joy of living and the world old instincts of the chase.

Raymond of the New London County Fair visited Spring- field a few days ago and interviewed Lieut. Alfred Aloe in charge of the U. Army recruiting s(allop in Springfield and through that office'has made arrangements to secure for the annual fair a exhibition which will con- sist of pieces of ordnance, small arms and all kinds of war material actually captured by American troops from §:e Germans, an exhibit of French, Ge man and English machine guns, anti- aircraft guns, anti-tank guns nad one nounders. The Springfield Arsenal Muse- um will also send a selected exhibit of ancient and modern armor ancient rifles, revolvers amd early types of machine guns and 'small bore cannon. This is the first time that this exhibition’ has ev- er left the Sringfield Museum. " A tank which has seen service in France will also be a part of the exHibit. BIG JAMAICA GINGER SALES AT CHESTERFIELD A squad of Federal prohibition -agents descended on Chesterfield, near Mont- ville at 5 oclock Friday afternoon in search of a “still” that was supposed to be in operation there. = The raiding squpd was led by Courtland F. Brown and included Agents O'Bried, Hogan and O'Rourke. The officers learned that much of the drunkenness at Chesterfield has been caused by Jamaica ginger, the sale of which has been brisk at several stores in'} Chesterfleld. . Warnings were issued by the federal officers to the store keepers against the sale of ginger for beverage purposes and it is expected that the warning will serve to lessen the num- of sales made. LIGHTNING PLAYS HAVOC WITH SIXTY TELEPHONE LINES The storm of early Sunday morning played havoc with the telephone lines in the suburban districts and as a result over 60 lines were out Of commission nearly the whole day.

M. C.-A. .The B. Y .P. U. of | the Central Baptist church sent enough of their members’ to fill the truck used to transport the. singers, organist and ciarinetist. The speaker, G.'T. Bochman, field sec- retary of the - Conmecticut Temperance Union, spoke very interestingly on the subject, Taking a Chance, as follows: A newspaper writer in commenting on the case of a prominent young lawyer of Putnam, who a few years 2go was given a long sentence.in Wethersfield for arson called. attention - to .the, brilliant manner in’ which had started his ca- reer and the profefSional life-of 'promise that had been cut off at its very begin- ning. -His case is not without parallél. Young “men of brilliant promiise are ev- ery day bartering - their. opportunities and surrendering their, careers for the most sordid rewards. About. this time a man ‘died in ‘New - York who until a short time before occupied a high po- sition at the part of the empire state. Less than ten years ago newspapers and the public were declaring ‘him one of the coming professional men of the great city. A few years worked a great change. * He “followed allurements that finally tripped him, made him surrender his' career, barter his opportunities and sell his good name for pottage that any Esau of intelligence wou'd have shunned- Like the young Putnam lawyer he was sent to prison for offense aaginst the pub- lic peace and comfort. He came out a wreck and deéath came gquickly. to end his shattered life. There is such a thing as being sorry too late. - There are thousands of human wrecks along the highways of life in prisons, re- formatories, asylums and hospitals who thought they could ~get along without God. Listen to the words of Jesus®in Matt 7:21-29. . Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth | the will of My Father which is heaven. May will-say to me ir that day, Lord, Lord, have We not prophesied in Thy name? and in They name have cast out the devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?

Therefore, Whosoever heareth these say- ings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him until a wise man which built his house upon a rock.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION AT ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH Citing the brother of ‘Solomon, wisest of men, who, desirous of asking a great favor of “the king, went to'his mother, petitioning her to make the request, since her royal son could refuse her nothing, Rev. Daniel F. Sullivan preached at St. Patrick’s church Sunday at the 10.30 Mass. tion of the Virgin Mary, mother of the Saviour, and the preacher recalled the fifth century tradition that the Blessed Virgin had died at Jerusalem in the presence of all the " didiciples except Thomas. Later, when the absent'Thomas had returned and.the tomb Wwas opened, the body was not there. While modern Catholies "do not know the exact truth of this tradition, they do logically honor the immaculate, Mother of.the- Redeemer, believing that as hers .was, no. ordinary life, it is natural to suppose that her Divinie Son must. have' received lier into heaven in an. extraordinary manner to give basis for this tradition of five cen- turiés ‘following ‘the erucifixion. Having honored her in the “Annuncia- tion, the visitation of Elizabeth, tiie na- tivity, the presentation,” her sorrows a Calvary, “the Catholic church commemo- rates also this belief in ‘her assumption. If the wise Solomon could deny no-re- quest of his mother, surely the Author of Wisdom will heed the intercession of His Blessed Mother when her mediation in matters spiritual or temporal is. besought | by those who affectionately’ entitle her, in the litany of her attributes, “Help of Christians, comforter .of the afflicted, refuge of sinners.” =t During the day lights- glowed in the arch which outlines the :painting. of The Assumption, over the Blessed "Virgin al- tar, which is a'marble memorial to Rev.
