DANIELSON These are busy days for Tax Collector Georgs A. Williams. Wednesday ie the last day for payirg taxes due the town, if one would escape the penalties that go with being & delinquent. This fact is known and appreciated by many who had not paild their taxes up to Mondag so Monday became 2 busy day for Mr. Wil- liams, as will today and Wednesday with- out’a oubt. Mr. Willams sald Monday morning t tax payments have flowed in steadily s goring. so steadily that he has not nad an aportunity to check up a detailed statement to date. The average taxpa; tlready has settled his account with the lown of Killingly for another year. Scores more will do so today and tomorrow. The fact that the tax rate is lower this vear-than for several years past has prov- ®d a source of satisfaction for a greit majority of taxpayers. Included in the collections that Mr. Willlams is making fust now Is a considerable amount of money to go to the personal tax accqunt, a5 it is the rule here to collect the per- yonal tax from property owners at the time of their payment of the larger sum due by such to the town. While not unanimously, the recom- mendation that Putnam go on daylight saving time was quite gemerally observ- ed Monday morning. There were enough who stuck to the old time to make things a bit confusing. Three varieties of time were on tap. There were those who were observing daylight saving by moving the clock ahead an hour; thers were those who were cbserving davlight saving by going to work earlier and quitting ear- lier, but leaving the clocks alone; and there were those who remained on stand- ard time as is! The town clock, that timeplece in the steeple of the Congregational church by which the down-town section has for years been governed in time regulation, was reflecting from its large dial stand- ard time. In the north end of the city where the clock on the steeple of St. Mary’s church s @ooked too as correct- ly telling the hour the hands showed daylight saving time. The effect of this was that the citizens of the north end leaving Providence street at 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon reached the downtown section at five minutes past twelve, Con- versly, the down town dweller starting for Providence street at twelve reached there at five minutes past one o'clock. 1t is, however. anticipated that many of those who did not follow the recom- mendation of the common council Mon- day morning were only waiting to see what the other fellow was going to do. The stores almost to a unit observed daylight saving. The Putnam Woolen Co.. and the Waterman Worsted Co., Te- mained on standard time. St. Mary's parish school, the Smith street school and Israel Putnam schools began an hour earlier, while the high school was functioning under standard time. Some people took the general mix-up to heart, were disgruntled and showed it: others took it as a joke and laughed. Time was the basls of many an argument and the theme of conversation. Tom Taylor, the last survivor of the historic ram. Moni- tor, sald that he -lked standard time. All this foolishness in trying to fool the sun by manipulating the clocks finds no response in the mind of Mr. Taylor and he does not stand ‘alone in his po- sition. However, it is belleved that dav- 1ight saving time will be in force for the next few months and that before the Four ledgers who spent Sunday night at the police station were released Mon- day morning by Chier John McFarland. Some who ask for lodgings these days are honest men in unfortunate circumstances. They are walking their way through the mill towns hereabouts, seeking employ- ment. Many of them come from Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island textils cen ters where strikes have been on for many weelcs at cotton manufacturing plants. The yare not tramps, though some of them express concern that they may be sonsidered as such. Cerener Arthur G. Bill sald Moaday ternoon that he has taken no further tion in the case of Edward Ostrowskl of North Grosvenordale. held under bond until the inquest relative to the death of Al Lundstrum, the wrestler, can be com- pleted. Coroner Bill desires to hear two more witnesses before making his find- thg. These witnesses are in Massachu- s and it may be several daws before there is an opportunity for the coroner to hear them. Mrs. Susan McKinney Watson, dow of James Watson, died Sunday at the Taylor place on the Green Hollow road, where she had been making her home. Mrs. Watson had been ill for a long time. The body was taken in charge by Undc: taker A. F. Wood and brought to his un- dertaking rooms here. Mrs. Watson was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- Kinney. She was a sister of Mrs. W. H Judson of Academy street. Mrs. Watson leaves a grandson, Leland Watson, of Worcester. Another grandson, Herbert Watson. lost his life when a transport on_which he was serving as a wireless sperator was torpedoed Ilufln‘ the world war. While fn town Monday momlu. Eve- rett E.

Bishop Murray had been at Taftville during the day to confer the sac- rament of confirmation and motored fo Danielson in the early evening to be present at the Teception.

An all star vaudeville bill and picture is at the Strand for the first half of thir week and certainly made a hit with yes terday’'s large enthusiastle audience. The feature attraction is The Tele- phone Tangle, featuring Joe Bennett, the original “Abe Kabitible.” The offering is staged to give the impression of 3 public telephone office with a series of individual booths and an operator ir charge who makes the nectssary connec- tions. The act is arrangea to suow the patrons in their frantic efforts to secure and retain connections with other patrons while the little minx of a “helle girl" powders her nose and reads the latest magazines and proceeds to mix up the connections with other people are whis- ked from one conversation to another to their annoyance and the audience’s mer- riment, After seding the act one can easily imagine the cause of the “excellent service” over phone wires occasionally. The Telophone Tangle Is most preten- tious offering and the six members of the company aré so perfect jn their comedy efforts that they will make the audience weep with laughter particularly the Abe Kabithle who Insists on calling the tele- phone girl “operation” and his automo- bile “Stupidbaker” as a mirth-provoking offering it is in a class by itself and wil unquestionably prove a sure fire hit.
