DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Mrs. L. 8. Ingalls, Mrs. L. E. Kennedy, Miss Mae Dunn, Miss Susie Collins and Miss Marion Wood will leave here to- day (Wednesday) for Vassar college, Poughkeepsie, to attend a gathering ot[ representatives of Girls’ clubs from many places in the eastern states. The party will motor out witn Mrs. Ingalls and will | be absent until Sunday. | The state police haven't been asked to | do anything about the matter vet, but | the owner of a missing overcoat may seek | thelr assistance in locating his overcoat, | which disappeared after a social gather- ing attended by a local man Saturday evening .And in the weantime the man who has the overcoat is chuckling be- cause the owner has falled to remember that he loaned it to him to wear home. Many citizen, some weeks since, signed petitions relat! to having the New Haven road required to appoint gate- tenders at crossings in the town of Sterling—the crossing where Sunday's tatalities occurred and the East Oneco crossing where the Savles fatal accident occurred some time ago. A well known citizen of the town of Sterling said Tues- day that these petitions were forwarded long ago to the public utilities commis- slon, but nothing has been heard from them. Coroner Arthur G. Bill stated Tuesday afternoon that he has written officials of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. company inquiring when it will be possible to al- low members of the crew operating the train that was i the grade crossing ac- cident at Sterling Sunday to come to Danielson for the inquest the coroner is to conduct. Coroner Jeremiah Desmond of New London county will come here from Norwich for this inquest, as Mrsv‘ Jennie Metts, one of those who died of injurles, passed away at the Backus hospital in Norwich. Up to the present time Corgner Bill has mot learned that there were any witnesses of the accidert. However, the driver of a car that went over the cross- ing just ahead of the Phillips car says that he heard the locomotive whistle just after his machine passed over the crossing. The train, it is said, left Providence on time and met with no delays on the way to Sterling, so it is assumed that it pass- ed over the crossing traveling at what | is normal speed for passenger trains at that point. Following funeral services at St. John's church in Plainfleld today (Wednesday) the bodies of Byron Phillips, Mrs. Jennie | Mette and Mrs. Phoebe Hebert will be ! burted ia All Hallows' cemetery on the Green Hollow road. Sherwood B. Potter. G. Rene Carom, Howard G. Franklin, Harry J. Hyde, Mar- jorie I. Gaffney and C. Clinton Cleveland, executive committee of Killingly High School Alumni assoclation, have sent out notices to member of the association rel- ative to commencement week.

WOOD Funeral Director and Embalmer PHONE 147 DANIELSON e e | collected from lawns about the borough jof the Goodyear, Cotton Mills recently— PUTNAM NEWS < plies of twigs and small dead limbs were Tuesday following the gale of Monday afternoon. No June gale in years caus- ed so much damage to shrubs and flower- ing plants. Dr. 0. C. Sharpe was reported Tuesday as suffering considerable pain at the Day Kimball-hospital. His injury is re- garded as serious, b\* not so much so that he will not recover in due course of time. The sounding of the siren on the plant 45 blasts, to mark the completion of the forty-fifth million tire by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company at Akron, O., was significant to many hefeabouts who are interested in the company. To them, it was another indication of the returning prosperity of the great corporation which experienced such trying financial diffi- culties two years ago. Goodyear is now | coming strong agaln—real good news to Killingly people. What gives promise of being a success- ful movement to secure gn adequate. loan to meet the operating needs of the Con- necticut Mills company is underway. There is a possibility, too, it is said of a’new committee being organized to re- place the present protective committee. Assurances are that a group of banking interests stands ready to advance the mill company the needed million under certain conditions that it readily can be met. The body of Henry Owens, who died at the town farm near Dayville Tuesday morning, was removed to the undertak- ing room of L. E. Kennedy. Mr. Owens had been' blind for many years and is said to have lost his sight in an accident, through the discharge of a gun. He lived for many years in this town and later in the Foster gold mine district. Following was the Children’s day pro- gram at the United Goodyear church: Doxology, Lord's Prayer, responsive reading, Scripture, prayer, children’s ex- ercises, recitation, Phyllis Couson; hymn, choir and ~ children; recitation, Jack Eastman and Lillian Diggett; recitation, Florence Ellison; hymn, choir and chil- dren; recitations, Arthur Thompson, James Eastman, Iva Child; solo and chorus, Florence Ellison, Nora Ellings- vorth, Gldays Child; recitations, George Diggett; Nora Felingsworth and Gladys Child; offertory; hymn, choir and con- gregation ; sermon. Today (Wednesday) Flag day will be observed by the display of flags on many buildings. Values will be the subject of the ser- mon at the morning service next Sunday at the United Goodyear church, while at the evening service the subject will be Power of Habit. A large number of Danielson people | were at Putngm Tyesday to attend the circus. Plano pupils of Henrr Flagg gave a recital in the Majestic theatre Tuesday evaping and many of the relatives of those who played were numbered in the audience, An extra large force is at work on the Rhode Island end of the road building ep- erations going on. between Danielson and Hopkins Mills, R.

Arthur Paine of Providence recently visited with his mother, Mrs. John A. Paine of Broad street. State police were at Moosup Tuesday to observe the methods of collectors who were in that place soliciting funds for cotton mill workers who have been on strike for many weeks in cotton mill cen- ters in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

The. work of oiling certain street of the borough is to be undertaken within a few days, it was stated Tuesday. Nearly three score pupils of eighth grade schools throughout the town of Killingly will receive their diplomas at graduation exercises to be held in the town hall this afternoon. These exercises r_houm be of special intercst to the pub- ic. Danielson Boy Scouts will be numbered among the 200 or more boys who are to spend their vacation at Camp Woodstock the county Y. M. C. A. camp at Black pond in the vown of Woodstock. The lo- cal boys will be at the camp during a pe- riod about mid-July. Rev. W. 8. Beard of New York gave a lecture Tuesday evening at Grange hall in South Killingly in the interest of the Community house to be built at that place. A group of Willimantic musicians gave a concert in connection with the lecture. Members of the Pentecostal church held a cottage prayer meeting at the home of Mrs. Henry Long Tuesday evening. The annual June supper of the Sewing society of St. Alban's church was held Tuesday evening. There was a large attendance Mouday evening at a strawberry supper arranged by the Crusaders at the Baptist. church.

Streets were fringed with people as the parade moved from Tatem fleld shortly after 10.30 o'clock and followed a route 1aid out for it through School, Providence and Marshall streets into Woodstock av- enue and Bridge streets to Main and back through Grove street to the exhibi- tion grounds. Right here seems to be a good place to say that the parade was very good, made an excellent impression and was the means of getting much business for the show at both the afternoon and evening performances. The entire equipment used in the parade was in first class condition. Three bands, two calliopes an da herd of six elephants and sveeral camels were features. There were several open dens of wild basts, pretty horses, picturesque riders, cow- boys, and of course, a bevy of clowns. A strangely garbed, painted and befeath- ered man who rode atop one of the wag- ons was said to be the dry candidate for officiai bootlegger of New England, but one couldn’t believe a thing that some of the people in the growd said, so this is given for what it's worth. A beautiful Jady that rode in a sway- iag howdah on the back of one of the el- ephants attracted attention. Watching the manner in which the seat in which she sat swayed convinced the average flapper that riding on an' elephant’s back furnished the first suggestion for the rocking horse dance, for indulging in which some patrons of dance halls are be- ing chased off the floor. But this can't be blamed on the circus. Raucous voiced announcers, never miss- ing from a circus parade, were on the job Tuesday, Keying up the crowd to see the “marvelous exhibition on the grounds immediately after the parade” and with the impelling announcements ringing in their ears scores hurried right over to the lot prepared to make a day of it. The Sparks’ shows were the best that have played Putnam in years—and the cleanest. The show is enlarged in all de- partments this year and now borders on the big show class. The opening spec- tacle—Visions of Arabia—made a fine impression. This pageant affered an op- portunity for the presentation of all of the performers, clephants, camels, sing- ing and dance girls and brought to a close by LeVerna Venable, the diva of the white tops, rendering a beautitul song to the accompaniment of the band while seated on the back of a monster ele- phant. The ‘spectacle was a novelty and the costumes used were gorgeous. Trained seals, posing horses, riding ba- boons and dogs, performing ' elephants were features of the bigshow. The Fly- ing Walters, aerial bar artists; The Jug- gling Larkins, eatrice Jung, the loop-the- loop girl, the Flying Yerkes, the Riding Guices and the Hollis family and dainty Fipra Bedini, riders, wére arenic attrac- tions of special note. Patrons of the *circus were pleased with all its features, which included a number of side shows. At the Day Kimball hospital Tuesday, the injured leg of Mrs. Delia Phillips, only surviving adult of the four who were in the grade crossing accident at Sterling Sunday, was amputated in a desperate ef- fort to save her life. Mrs. Phillips, whose husband and sister, Mrs. Phoebe Hebert, were killed outright in the accident and whose sister, Mrs. Jennie Metter, died Sunday night at the Backus hospital, from internal injuries received in the same crash between locomotive and au- tomobile, was regarded late Tuesday aft- ernoon as being in a critical condition. The Phillips’” infant daughter which 15 at the Day Kimball hospital with her mother is doing well and gives every promise of recovering entirely. Circus day brought a minor accident in connection with the passing of the parade. ~ Returning through Grove street to the grounds at Tatem field, the brakes on a heavy steam calliope that was being drawn by eight horses did not seem to hold well coming down a little grade on the cement roadway near King street and the vehicle crowded up against the pole horses, pushing them forward. A horse farther of the string began to prance, jumped over the pole of the rig and eventually brought up against the front of an expensive limousine that was orowded in close to the curb. Then the horses slipped and fell, his forward fedt going under 'the the running board of the limousine, which bore a Massachu- setts registration. The driver on the cal- liope must be credited with excellent handling of his horses during a trying minute and he came through the affair with practically no damage to the limou- sine and not at all to his own equipment. A crowd that had gathered to watch the parade scattered as the horses were scrambling about, for a time threatening a real serious mix-up. Pomfret school will close tomorrow, with the usual jollification exercises in the evening. Each year the parade of students and serenades and salutes to members of the faculty with the huge bon fire and fireworks to wind up the pro- gram of the evening attracts hundreds of people from all surrounding towns. The majority of students will leave Friday for their home cities, in many parts of the country. John Duda. owner of a bakery in the northern section of the city, is to be made defendant in an action to recover from him for an alleged violation of contract. Mr. Duda, months ago, stopped payment on a check for $4,000, which he had caus- ed to be drawn in payment for stock which, it will be claimed, he purchased, Mr. Duda is said to have been advised that the stock he had purchased might not prove a satisfactory purchase and that it would be better to protect himself from possible serious loss while there was vet time. Mr. Duda seemingly acted on this advice, stopped payment on the check, which remains uncollected, and which the company whose stock Mr. Duda is sald to have arranged to invest in is now taking action to coliect. Monday the last idle machine in the new plant of J. B. Tatem and Son was put in operation. A new plant to replace the one destroyed by fire early this spring has been constructed and the con- cern is again nearly full production pos- sibilities. Dr. 0. C. Sharpe, whose hip was Srok- en when a large limb from a tree fell on him last Sunday, is suffering considerable pain at the Day Kimball hospital, where he was brought after the accident, accord- (omfort POWDER Heals the Skin During 25 years mothers and nurses have found nothing to equal Sykes Comfort Powder to clear the skin from chafing, inflammation,eruptions,rashes infant_scalding and prevent it from becoming thus affected when used daily. it a circus day crowd, and balloons and || \South - Willington, .| ments.

Mrs. Norman B. Ream, of Thompson, has presented the public library of that town three delightful books for children. A meeting of members of A.
