Bailey d banded to him Tuesday a pcii- tion to call a special town meeting to take action on the ques‘ica of day- |light saving hours for Norwich, he petition has the required num- | b of signatures so thai Selectman Bailey will at once take action to have the iown meeting called. It has to be advertised at least five days in ad- sce and a date early next week will be selected for the meeting. Women of the town aad city, un-! der the leadership of Xrs. Louis R.| Pcrteous of Sachem street. have start- | {td an organized movemen: to bring about daylight saving Canvassers sounding out the sentiment were ac- tively at work Tuesday and it was re- ported that there was a large pre- poaderance of sentiment in favor of daylight saving. Many of them tele- phoned Mayor H. M. Lerou and to secretary JoAn J. O'Rourke of the Chamber of Commerce asking that they do everything possible to for- ward the movement. It is the intention of Mrs: Porteous and others assisting her in the move- ment to sound the sentiment of the women in all parts of the town and to enlist their good offices in favor of the proposition. The matter will be agita- ted energetically among women's clubs and_other organizations. Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn, who is president of the Faith Trumbull chapter, D. A. R, the Y. M. C. A. Woman's auxiliary ha the Delphians, has promised to bring the matter before those bodies. The women behind the drive for the new time say they believe that the ad- vantages of daylight saving outweigh any minor inconveniences that might be experienced from the earlier rising hour and with the clocks moved ahead an hour even those inconvenlences, they feel sure, would disappear, so great is habit formed on clock time It was stated that all the women ap- proached up to noon were very fa- vorable to the movement and promised to do all in their power t help it along. 3.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy halr can only be had by brew- ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. . When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hun- dredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the mix- ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. - It-is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back -the natural color and lustre of your hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw_this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another appli- cation it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delight- |} ful tollet. requisite for those who de- sire dark hair and a youthful appear- ance.

The city makes the claim that from July 1, 1221 to Jam. 1. 1922, the gas and electric depa:tment furnished to the woolen company 600 Lilowatts at 12 cents per kilowatt hour, 2,100 kilo- watts at 10 cents per and 42060 kilo- watts at 6 cents. a total of 44.80) kilo- watt hours amounting to $2,808 worth of electricity. The woolen company re- fuses to pay this bill, uperintendent C. B. Tagart and corporation dtnsel E. W. Higgins | have met the officials of the woolen - in conferences to get a set- tlement of the account, but without cuccess, before the suit was brought. he oolen company officials claim that they have not been charged in accordance with a rate regulation of April 28, 1921, by which unde: cer tain conditions, users of electric light current were to be charged at the same rate as for current for power. Thi power rate is lower than the light rate. | | | not | | i 1 R. C. PLAUT RETURNS FROM WESTERN TRIP Rutherford C.

Gingham is a sturdy weave. Your children can wear it, without danger of wearing it out in a few minutes. In the better grades, and in many of the cheaper ones, the colors are fast, and it will come out of the tub almost as fresh as it was the day you bought it. For your own house dresses—for dainty frocks — for general Sum- mer wear—to give a bit of color in collar, cuff or vestee—for many other purposes you need it.
