While in Norwich and viein- ity, Mr. and Mrs. Peckham were enter- tained at the home of Mrs. William Frink of Franklin. OBITUARY Grace Peekham (Contributed) To all her friends and their name is Mrs, +legion, there is something most pathetic in the circumstances of he death of Mrs. Grace Peckham whose funeral oe- curred on 'Tuesday. She was the daughter of the late Thomas G. Kings- ley, who was Colonel of the 26th Reg- iment, Connecticut Volunteers. Feor several years before her marriage she taught in Franklin and Yantic. Her husband was the Rev. Charles Peckham, ministey of the Baptist church in Lef- fingwell. After his death, which oc- curred while he was a compartively Young man, she remained with her widowed monther, and literally spent her time in doing good. She always kept up her connections with the Lef- finwell church and vear after year her home was opened fer a larse missionary gathering to which the members of all neighboring churches were Invited. These gatherings were really very not- able affairs and brought together in friendly intercoyrse many people Who otherwise might never have had the op- portumity of meeting. “The Mttle unremembered acts of kindness and of love” were a part of the daily round of life. Unremembered by her they are held in unfailing remem- brance by those she leved and sought to help“Only the actions of the just. smell sweet and blossom in the dust” Her mother, who lived to an ad- vanced age, died last winter, and the daughter's life work being over, the end came quickly. But it was an end- ing of oleuds and darkness, The main spring of her life was destreyed. Her husband and her mother were | gone, and even her most devoted frierds could pot fill the vacancy. It is hard- ly fo be wondered at that she was not able to mentally adjust herself, amd atter a few wecks of bewilderment and wandering, she was reunited to those who had gone before. 8. ¢ W. Mrs. Georglanna Davis Mrs, Georgianna Davis, 78, widow of John J. Davis, died Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Mary Burrows, 867 Bank street, New London, after a brief ilm She was born in Mystic, but had lived in N#w London nearly all her life. Her husband was a well known ship caulker and member of loeal lodges. Mrs. Davis was also well known as a church worker, being -a charter member of the Monfauk avenue Baptist church. She was also 3 mem- Der of the Red Cross, Sunshine society and W. C. T. U. When her husband died three years ago she conducted his ‘Bible school class in the church every Sunday untfl this summer. Besides her daughter with whom she lived, Mrs. Davis leaves a son, William Burrows of Hartford; an adopted daugh- ter, Mrs. A. A. Guile, of Norwich; a sis ter, Mrs. Sarah J.

[$4 n services they 2ty eir JOBLE; MEN WAIT IN LINE FOR WORK ‘The man with the job today is a man envied by his fellows as work in tne city is almost at ebb tide. The streets are thronged by able-bodied mem who would be glad to find something te do. Ip previous vears there has beem a great demand for farm labor but with wages steadily on the deeline for this work many of those living in the cities will not go to the counfry to work. ‘Woolen mills are working short hand- ed although the condition is steadily inereasing, The cotten industry s feeling the industrial depression and one plant has been shut down since June. Several other plants in the city are shut down or running short time. Every morning at the Elizabeth street school lot there is a long line of men walting to get a chance to apply for.a job. Advertisements for male help wanted are answered by hundreds of job seekers. A striking example of the conditions not omly in Norwich but all throtgh the eastern part of the state was shown only a few days ago. A Norwich man dwiving to Norwich from Putnam overtook a man and his wife walking aleng the highway near Plainfield. The Nerwich man stopped and asked_if he could give them a lift and his invitation was accepted v(h many thanks, On the trip to Norwich it developed that the man and his wife were com- Pletely out of funds having spent their last cent in getting as far as Plain- field. The two had come all the way from Montreal, Canada, seeking work in every town they passed througy but always meeting the same answer that thére was mot werk. Both were will- ing to take up any kind of work if th yl could get it. The Norwich man, who is a well known business man, staked the couple to room and board and it was two days before he could locate any kind of a Job for them. This is the case of hundreds of men today. ~ One glance around the city on an afternoon will tell even the casual ob- server that there is something wrong with the labor situation. As many as fifty men can be seen every afternoon haunting the streets in the vieinity of the square trusting to luck that some- thing may turn uwp to give them a job. [ . LOCAL YOUNG MEN ARE VICTIMS OF PRACTICAL JOKERS During the past two weeks a new stunt has been introduced to Norwich in the practical joke line and is said to furnish much amusement for those on the e” but is rather distaste- ful for the victim., The joke has been played on several lotal young men within the past few days much to the discomfort of the said young men. The victim is taken one side by one or two of the “lead on” men and con- fidentially told that a certain young wo- man is anxious to meet him. The vie- tim is immediately all attention twhen he thinks that some fair maiden has been smitten with his charming ways. He is then told that he is to go to a certain house (tha house midked al- ways being a vacant ome), and whistle outside the house where the girl is sup- posed to live, His informers even go as far as to offer to escort him as far as the house to make sure that he gets the right one. Meanwhile the rest of the crowd si- lently slip away and make for the plage arranged, first having provided themselves with suitable garden pro- ducts, stale pies and aged eggs. They secret themselves near the place and wait. Pretty soon the innocent “babe” strolls nonchalantly by the | house and melodiously whistles the sig- nal. The signal supposedly to notify the voung lady of his presence is re- ally the signal to open fire. The gang straightway proceeds to lay down a well directed barrage that soon has the vietim looking like ome of Mack Sennet's pie-throwing comedians. Speed records are often broken by vie- tims in their haste to get out of range. HANDSOME DAHLIAS GROWN BY EX-PATROLMAN JOHN IRISH This has been a trying year for dahlia faneciers, the humid weather blighting the blooms, or*scorching sun following heavy rains causing the petals to drop off. With cooler weather, however, the growers are having better luck. Former Patrolman John Irish, who has over 50 varieties of this stately flower under cultivation in his garden on Laurel Hill avenue, was able to cut some mag- nificent blooms during 'f4ursday, several from California bulbs. Some of his choicest blossoms are the Madame Perit, a beautiful cactus of deli- cate shaded orange, rose-tipped; the Ear- ly Morning, of dagty lavender; a showy peony dahlia of salmen tint and velvety petals caled Fireworks; the Cecelia, a choice specimen in canary hue, with or- ange center, the Doctor Peary, of deep, rich crimson. and others. Wind storms, as well as rain, fog and blistering sun have bothered the growers this seasom, so that it is a real triumph to be able to bring to perfection such handsome blooms as have’ rewarded Mr. Irish’s labers and careful cultivatien. VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS TO RAISE FLAG FUND Preliminary plans for the raising of a fund with which to purchase national and post colors were discussed at thel meeting of Richard E.

WHY THEY SANK THE SHIPS “A ship sunk meang another ship needed” is reported from Berlin to have been the common greeting during the war when a bubmarine got in its work. This touches on the most sinister as- pect of the “ruthless campaign” the commercial motive. Germany was not sinking enemy ships and neutral ves- sels entirely, or even primarily for military reasons: it was actuated by the | deliberate purpose of destroying the world’s shipping while German ship- ping was safe in popt. with the idea of getting pretty much all the car- rying trade of the world when the war ended.

Typhoid Fever:A slight increase oc- curred in typhoid fever, 53 cdses being re- ported for July, and of this number there were 13 cases in New Haven, 12 in Hartford, 4 in New Britain, and 7 in Hamden. Of the 7 Hamden cases 6 were in the same household and is-an indication of what happens when people are qnot protected against typhoid by the vaccine. ‘Wheoping Cough: There was practically no reduction in whooping cough. This disease is general throughout the state, every county reporting cases of this dis- ease. Tuberculosis (Pulmonary): The reduc- tion in pulmonary tuberculosis is prob- ably not a real reduetion, but rather due to delayed reports which will come in during the menth of August. Tubercu- lesis this year is running higher than last year; in fact, there have been more coses reported to date for the year than any year since 1916 and it seems to indicate that the extensive work against the White Plague must continue if the records of the previous years are to be equalled. The spread of this disease rests largely with families in whica tu- berculosis cases are known to exist, and these patients must be careful about the dispesal of their sputum in order to pre- vent fur¢her cas.y in their family. Tetanus: There ware eight cases of tetanus reported during the month, of whiah number six were due to infection through injuries received in celebrating the Fourth of July.
