A man was bouncing along in his Ford and when he reached the top of the grade there was a pop and one tire went flat. He continued on and sudden- ly the tire came off the rim and rolled along with the car.

NORWICH TOWN PEAT MAY HELP SOLVE LOCAL FUEL PROBLEM Norwich manufacturers and household- ers may be able to partly solve the fuel problem with coal mined in this state, and with peat cut feom peat bogs in this vicinity. It is not ;eneraly known that there are peat bogs in Norwich and vicin. ity. One of the peat bogs is located near Fairview reservoir and others are located im\ Ellington, Coventry and Columbia. There are also one or two small veins of coal in this state which have. been pros- pected by paleontologists from Yale who have been searching for mammalian fos- sils. These veins, which are only a few feet in thickness, have never been work- ed commercially. Peat, which is found at numerous places in the state, also has a fuel value and during the Civil war. when prices were prohibitive, peat was an important Connecticut” product, and | many tons of it were shipped to New York and Boston, There are peat bogs in Rockville, El- lington. Coventry, Meriden, Colymbia and Norwich, and during the war these bogs were surveyed with the idea of the possi- ble use of peat as a fuel then. The sta- tisties on the peat supply in Connecticut are inciuded in the data compiled by the war fuel administration which fas been requested from Washington for use to the emergency fuel commission to super- vise the fuel consumption in the state during the steike of the miners. Connecticut has a few outliers of the coal formations of the Alleghanies and there are other rock formations in the state which are coal bearing, for not all of the coal deposits are found in the rocks of the carboniferous. age, with its great ferns and Massive swamps, usually considered as the coal forming age, found in rock formation which are older or younger than the carboniferous. Roughly there are six stages in cozl formation. First there is the swamp in which the| vegetable matter collects and decays, then the peat bog; not as wet as lhe| swamp. The nressure by changes in the | carth’s peat bog, if Subject \s heat and great surface become bituminous coal and still more heat pressure will convert the bituminous coal into anthracite. It is| estimated that it takes a peat bog about | 100 feet thick to make a foot vein of hard coal. The final stage in coal is graphite, an amorphous substance which is pructically pure carbon. There are important coal mines in Nova Scotia. Geologically these two regions are simi- lar to Connecticut. Rhode Island, in fact, s now mining coal near Providence and is txrning out almost 1,000 tons a day from a mine at Cranston. The coal there-is not as free burning as-the Pennsylvautn varieties. as | it-contains about 25, per cent. of water, but when used in the nea or chestnut sizes it gives a fire about as hot as the Pennsylvania coal and burns longer. The coal mine at’' Cranston is just be- low a valuable gravhite deposit and has been, worked at intervals since the Brit- ish troons occupied the state during the Revolution, although it is only recently that the burning proverties of the coal} there have been discovered. The uune is no win charge of a milie boss from Scranton and included in its equipment is a $500,000 crusher, The mine’ has had a Jong and varfed ! history and extensive mining operations were carried on about 1840, the coal be- ing sold in Providence and the coal dust being sold to beick makers of the neigh- borhood and to others as far away as the Hudson valley. It was this brick dust angle of the business which Inter- ested Lucian B. Hanks of Hartford, who ! bought the lease on the mine in 1841. He! ran the mine in a very expensive man- ner. however, and became discouraged, allowing the mine to fill with water and abandoning operations. PUTH M LOCAL WAS CANCELLED, STRIKERS CLAIM Railroad men in this vicinity are awaitlhg the result of the strike ballot which is being tabulated. Nothing offi- cial has t been received at the office of the ¥ew London Division on the vote figures. However, reports Indi- cate an overwhelming decision in favor of a walkout. Divisional Chairman Moses A. Savin had nothing official to report, but stated that they had been advised on good authority that the re- vorted action of the labor board in or- dering their privileges restored, pending final decision in the matter was authen- tic. The privileges referred involve Sat- urday afternoons and holiday pay, sick leave ,and annual vacation allowances. At the quarters of the striking shop- men at Carpenter’s hall in New London | there was an unmistakable air of confi- dence Thursday, concerning the ultimate result of the strike. The men asserted that the railroad equipment was running down hill fast,_despite statements issued by the road to the effect that traffic was moving along in satisfactory fashion. The strikers maintain that the freight service is being sacrificed to keep up a pretense of nermal passenger service, but the strikers insist that despite con- centration on the latter, that®the power is going to pieces fast. It was asserted that train No. 3304, N. P. 2. eastbound. with one of the most powerful ‘engines in the service of the New #Haven, was sent to the repair shon because of an accident which developed as a result of faulty inspection alone. Tt was stated that the engine is rated to pull 3,600 tons, or 60 cars of potatoes, pig Iron, or anything else, and that a small nut which had dropped from a wrist pin, allowed the latter to drop out and become jammed between the guide voke, which caused damage that will keep the locomotive in the repair shop for six months to come. Had the engine been properly inspected, they declare, the damage would not have resulted, The strikers further declared that while the accident happened at 4 a. m. ‘Wednesday morning, it was 6 o'clock when the locomotive was dragged into Midway, that it was so badly damagzsd that 14 hours were required to get the locomotive back where repairs could be undertaken. By way of further proof that the pow- |a total of 576 visits were PETEBON’S OIN'IMENT To the millions of grateful sufferers who know about the mighty heall nower of Peterson’s Ointment for Nores, ulcers, piles, sore feet and chaf- ing Peterson says, “use it for skin l.nd scalp ‘itch; it never ints.” disappo!

They stated that one of the road’s new recruits reversed the ergzine, -causing the damage, and that a B. & M. locomotive was put out of commission in the same pit two weeks ago. They de- clared that the engine house at Wnrces- ter_was full of engines either partially or entirely out of repair. At the offices of the Ni Haven rall- road it was state that everything was go- ing along in quiet fashion at Midway at the Groton Iron Work plant. No figures were avallable concerning the number of men making up the force of J. G. Wragg, but the striking shopmen provided tae in- formation that a force of 56 men, in- cluding three machinists, laborers, help- ers and various assistants were working there. They claimed that there were o boiler workers in the force at the old shipyard, but that six machinists from Norwich were to be taken on. New Haven railroad officials stated that all locomotive work will be sent to the Groton Iron Works plant in. the fu- ture and that no more locomotives wiil be sent to Babcock’s, Whiton's or any other local plants. The strikers claimed that the \urwlch plant which undertook to repair an en- gine required two weeks to finsh the job that under normal conditions would be handled in a day at the Midway plant, with experienced men on the job, and that the railroad had discontinued s-nd- ing engines there. New Haven officials asserted that the work had been handled in a satisfactory manner, but under a guarantee given by Wragg, they were sendirig the engines to Eastern Point.
