Incidental to the alleged passing of the earth through tbe tail of Halley's comet. there was consternation in the quiet village of LocuStville, which is located in Hopkinton township in Washington county adjacent to Hope Valley, and is the northern terminus of the Wood River railroad. with an estimated population of three hun- dred. The excitement was caused by the burning of the Locustyille mill, which was aggravated by the fear oc casioned by the diamond visitation of the celestial wanderer.
 It was the third time that the mill, the chief industry of the village, was visited by fire. The first dam and mill in Locustville were built in 1874 on the banks of Brushy brook, the mill being very small at first and was enlarged in 1920. Woolen goods were manu- factured in this mill, but in the ones product. In 1S44 this mill was burned and was replaced by 8 much larger mill building, which was also destroy ed by fire in 1865.
 The following year William R. Greene & Go. erected the present large brick building and the mill was oper- ated by the firm in the manufacture of woolen goods for several years. This firm failed and th6 property was taken over by Bailey & Kenyon, the present owners about eight years ago.
 The fire/early Thursday morning originated in the picker room, which IS located on tie second 1ioor O1 lHo three-story building, the lower floor being utilized by the weavers and the top floor by the spinners. The fire started in one of the pickers and spread rapidly. but by prompt and wig orous work of the employees and others was subdued before material damage was done in the spinning and weaving departments. All the stock in the pick CT room was burned and the machines damaged, causing an estimated loss of $1O,000.
 The fire broke out second time, but did not add materially to the damage and was kept confined to the picker room. The fire will necessitate the closing of the plant for several weeks and as it is the only industry in the village it will cause hardship to the employees, as they will be forced to idleness until the insurance is adjust ed and the mill placed in running or der.

SOCIAL HYGIENE.
Connecticut Society Organized for Suppression of Social Disease Through Various Mediums.

The Connecticut Society of Social Hygiene, with a charter membership of 524. has been organized at Hart ford. The founding of this society stances. with a membership from all sections of the state and including many prominent men and women. was made possibly largely by the gift of $1-000 from an unknown benefactor.
 The object and purpose of the or ganization is the suppression of social diseases through legislation, treat ment- publication and education, the tack purely from physical stand point The problems are to be han dled as physical and not as moral questions. To limit the spread of dis social evil and to study every means, sanitary moral and administrative, which promise to be most effective for the purpose will be the chief aims and Its membership. although not limited to any special class. includes many members of the medical profession.
 The Rev. Dr. John J. McCook pre- siied at the meeting and prefacei his address with a plain and forceful statement of conditions and the need or immediate attention. The treatment Of tie evil, as a vice, he said. had teen failure, but attacked as dis ease, it would be a success.
 Dr. Robert N. Wilson of Philadcl- l.nIa made the chief address, outlining the necessity and the character cf the work. The problem was 70 he handled not from a moral standpoint, he said. The treatment of tuberculosis had practically no difficulties com pared to that of the social disease. Aft CT telling of the conditions as seen by physicians in their general practice, Dr. Wilson spoke of some of the rem edies. The question of education, he believed was most important. and the teaching must be done by fathers and mothers at the very earliest time when the first questions were asked.

Deputy Sheriff George H. sarbe

Deputy Sheriff George Fl. Barber went to Watch Hill Thursday after noon and made service upon Horace F. Burdick, treasurer of the Watch Hill fire district, in suits for damages brought by Orville c. Barber and Wenton Hoxie, for the demolition of Buildings owned by them. The build+ ings were located on leased land on the waterside of Bay street at Watch Hill, which had recently been pur- chased by the Watch Hill fire district. The service of the sheriff upon Mr. Burdick was no surprise to that off, ciaI, as he expected that lawsuit would result from the removal of the Hoxie and Barber buildings.
 MT. Hoxie lays his damage at $500 and his case can be tried in the dis trict court. MT. Barber's claim is for s1,100 and must be answered in the superior count. The buildings in question were removed last Sunday by Contractor Charles P. Ecclestone of Ashaway, by order of the Westerly fire district and in spite of the protest of Messrs. Barber and Hoxie The build ings were removed to permit the gen. era1 improvement of that section of Watch Hill under the direction of the fire district.
