The ice storm tightened It's grip on
this section Tuesday and damage fol-
lowed in its wake. Laden with an icy
armOr. trees, wires. and poles gave
way under the unusual covering. The
telephone people had troubles, and the
additional work required that trouble
men be sent over from Willimantic.
Down near Alexanders lake the thick
ly set pines were bent over until the
branches snapped and many limbs were
broken, or chopped off to keep the
electric line clear. Several men were
at work at that point. Trees or parts
OF trees. are down in all directions.
With no relief in sight Tuesday night
conditions were assuming q NOR Sc
rious aspect. Wires are coated with
ice to such an extent as to give them
the appearance of crystal hawsers and
q good stiff wind would bring hun
dreds Of them down.
Constant working Tuesday kept the
block system in the local yards en- or
der and there was little delay for

70 Clean Kitchen Utensils,

Cleaning pots and kettles is usually
considered the most disagreeable piece Of
drudgery in the household, but like
everything else there is an easier way to
do it, if one knows how. As soon as the
food is removed from such utensils, pour
in some water and small quantity of a
solution made by dissolving a tablespoon
full of Gold Dust washing powder In a
gallon of water. Leave to soak while
washing the dishes, then pour off the
water and fill with clean suds made In
the same way. If PARTICLES of food still
adhere to the inside of the uteEsils, use
pot rings for removing them.

NEW DEVICE
Cleared Ice from Trolley Wire and
Kept Cars Going.

The weight Of Ice that has covered
the trees since Sunday night began to
have it's effect Tuesday afternoon, when
the branches and limbs on the big
elms on Main street, opposite the libra
~. began to break off and come down.
This was also true of trees in various
other parts Of the town. Hard trav-
cling was the rule for man and beast.
The electric cars managed to keep
close to schedule time in the morning
through the aid of a new appliance
for clearing feed wires This consists
Of a forked shaped arrangement at
tached TO the end Of the trolley pole,
just ahead of the trolley wheel with
the car in motion, the fork scrapes the
ice coating off Of the wires and trans
mits the current. the wheel regularly
used remaining out of contact with the
overhead work. The cars with the aid
Of this device were enabled to make
good time, and much of the usual
trouble Of operation in ice storms was
overcome.
