Healso .in an optimistic vein expressed himself as without a doubt as to the out- come of the Norwich election ' and the presidential . election. This remark brought férm a storm of applause from the thirty present. Ameéng the numerous things mentioned by Mr. Burke in his oration he touched upon the suffrage question, saying: “Now is the time for the womien to show they can vote intelli- gently.” This was taken to mean tmat the womén could only show. their inteili- gence by voting the democratic ticket. The reasons Mr. Burke gave for women voting for Gowernor Cox were the candi- date’s progress, his nature, his past rec- ord, and, said Mr. Burke, “if it wasn’t for Cox the women would not have the right to vote. I hope they will show their good sense and profit by it.” Mr, Burke extolled the good points ef the federal reserve bank, which he attributed to Woodrow Wilson. With great forceful- ness and much ‘pounding of the desk in front of him Mr. Burke hurled a chal- lenge to 2l those democrats who were intending te vote the opposite tieket in Nevember.

After the meeting several of the dele- gates were approached as f» who was likely to be nominated as senator from the Nineteenth senatorial distriet, but lit- tle information was fortheoming, the rna- jority hiding behind the statement that they were uninstructed and did not know. However, it is understood that Charles 8. Avery will be the man whe will get the nomination when the delegates meet in convention. Though no one would ad- mit that this was not 80, neither did anyone deny, they simply smiled.

Abbott of 1010 Boyston 'street, Boston, a lectuer, and a widely known Unitarian n, was instant- Iy killed when his big touring car over- turmed at Four Mile Hill, just beyond the foot of Plant Hfll, In the town of East Lyme, at 11.30 o'clock Monday morning. Riding with him was Mrs. Sarah L. Pearte of Raymond, Cal, who escaped death but received a terrible shock to her nerves. Bhe was conscious when taken from under the car and was as speedily as possible removed to the Law- rence and Memorial Associated hospital in New London fer treatment. It is net thought that Mrs. Pearce is seriously injured, but she was in a high- ly nervous state after tho accident and could not talk about it. The accident was csused by the blow- ing out of the rear right tire, causing the driver to lose control of the machine. The tire that blew out was ome that was con- siderably worm, while the other three tires on the car and the two spare tires on the rear were in good condition. Had there been a good tire on the rear right wheel the accident might mot have cecurred, al- though _witnesses say that the speed the ear was making invited danger. The weman was riding beside Dr. Abbett on the front seat. The dector was thrown out when the car tipped ower, his head striking the trolley rail, and was badly crushed, Ascerding to 3 party of moterists who saw the aeetdent’ Dr Abbott's car was making Righ speed, estimated at 60 miles an- hour, when it passed them. Sesn after it ‘passed they heard a lomd repert and saw the car swerve from right to left as it procseded down the erooked hill The roadway is wide at this peint, but the speed of the car was sueh that the driver - and the car finally swung sharpiy to the right and rolled over on its side. Instead of tupming bottom up, it slid elong the abandoned trolley track on which it landed and came to a stop some 20 feet from where it overturned. Medical Examiner Dr. F. H. Dart was summoned and he reached the scene about 12,30 o'clock. He identified the doctor by his motor vehicle registration card. FHe searched through the dead man’s clothes and fcund further means of identification. The deceased had but $14 in cash on hiz person—a 10 bill and four 31 bills and a few pennies. He had two gold watches in his clothing. He ap- peared to be about 50 years old, of heavy build and of dark complexion. The couple were headed toward New London when the aecident happened and it is believed that they had been at Long Braneh, N. J., recently, as a package ad- dressed to Mrs. Pearce at 561 Bath ave- nue, Long Braneh, N. J., was among the effects found in the ear. Dr. Dart gave a verdict of aecidental death, due to a fractured skull, and he gave permission for the removal of the body, stating that he would turn it over o Undertake Prentis of New London. The body was taken there later in the after- noon. The car dees not appear te bs very badly damaged. The windshield is broken and the top is considerably damaged, but the engine and chassis appear te be in. tact. ¢ $8,000 'BUS BURNED IN GARAGE IN NEW LONDON Five in 2 garage in the rear of the resi- dence of Frank Damesi on Bank street, New London, just over the Waterford lme, compietely destreyed a jarge auto- mebile ‘bus and burned the garage to the ground at 2.30 Monday morning. It is believed that the loms will total about $10,000. The 'bus cost about $3,000. The fire was discovered by a member of the Danési household, who was awak. ened by a loud noise, which it is thougni was an explosion of gaseline in the garage. The garage was found to be in flames.

This is 30 times as much as Massachusetts’ daughters are doing, sev- en times as much as Vermont: girls are doing, six times as good a record as the New Hampshire girls made - and < four times as much as Maine girls. They are but following in the footsteps of their mothers, for the Connecticut dairy farmers’ wives are credited with early seven per cent. of all the dairy work, while Massachusetts farm women are credited with less than one per cent. Vermont women do nearly five per cent., Maine women 4.4 per gcent. and 'New Hampshire women 3.8 per cent. of the dairy work. , More than nime per cent. of al the dairy work is done by boys under 18 in Connecticut.© This is considerably high- er than in any other state but Vermont, where the boys do 13 per cent. of all the dairy work, Older sons also do eonsid- erably more dairy werk. than - Maswa- chusetts boys on the average farm. Taken altogether, members of the Connecticut dairyman’s family do nearly 25 per cemt. of the dairy. In Massachusetts they o seven per cent. All this enables the Com- nectieut dairymen to get al with abeut 16 per cent. of hired Iabor in thejr Satry ‘business. 4 These fisures wWere secured by . the New England Milk Producers’ association in an effort to find out the actudl ‘eosts of produeing milk on “the av New England farm. The most significent-thing about these figures is the relatively high peroentage of work which is.dene by members of the dairyman's family. None of this work is paid for nor s it erdin- arily counted in by the formers in figir- ing the cost of milk. Such-labor ‘should be counted in figuring ‘cost production of the cost of producing-mily will depend on the extent to which dsiry farmers are willing and nble to make . their fam- ilies work for nothing. . —— e neral at the Central Baptist church.
