With five days to spare Judge George E. Parsons has just completed work on the records of the goth case that will be heard by the supreme court comes in here April So There are in all 21 cases, but the Fist case cannot be completed as the paper will not be ready for printing in time to be heard by the court.
 Old lawyers say that 1t is the larg est docket that has ever been pre- pared by a clerk of the court in this county and one of the largest in the state, indicating that the session will occupy about two weeks if all the eases are heard.
 One New London firm is interested in about 8 dozen cases and one Nor wich firm has ten cases on the list To have the printing done so promptly through the efficient work of the clerk is something that is greatly appreci- ated by the attorneys. as it gives them so much more time 10 study their eases.

 North Stonineton Case.


 On the claim that the jury misinter- preted the evidence. counsel for John E. Alexander. Jr.. of North Stonington appeared before Judge Milton A.

 This suit was heard in New London at the February session of the superior court. Alexander, a boy IA years old, sued for S10.e00 for injuries suffered by him as the result of a blast. With a crowd of boys he was playing in North Stonington near where the defendant company had a contract. A blast was set off and a rock thrown up by the blast struck young Alexander.

RETURNED FROM ST. LOUIS.
Chief Stanton Bsck-Norwich Appa
 ratus Has No Rivals.

Chief Howard L. Stanton is back from St. Louis. returning Fride~ eve ming from attending the meeting of the officers of the International Asso- citation of Fire Engineers. who came together to arrange the programme for the national convention in Denver.
 The convention date was set for September 10, the papers assigned and all the other business done that was necessary in preparation for the big meeting. Among the list of a dozen papers to be given is found Chief Stanton's name. The writers are all lowed to choose their own subjects. largely, and 1t Is probable that he will write upon some notable advances in apparatus that have been made in the past ten years.
 On the first day of the committee meeting the fire chiefs who made up the official board had the novel ex- perience of attending a fire in East St. Louis. From the office of Chief Swingley they could see the fire at a distance and the chief furnished two automobiles to take them to the fire. Chief Stanton says he thought he knew what speed in an automobile was, but that St. Louis drive put every eX- perience of his in the shade. It was probably the first fire at which nine chief engineers were bossing the job, handling hose and doing the other needful things.
 On two of the days while they were in St. Louis they were entertained by makers of fire apparatus. the first day by the Webb Motor Fire Apparatus company with a dinner and theater party, which was duplicated the next day by the Robinson company.
 All of the chiefs in the party, said Chief Stanton, had from 1 to IS pieces of motor driven fire apparatus under them and ne saw many different kinds of apparatus, but he is satisfied that Norwich with it's new auto o-chemical is about three years ahead of the rest i'll style and equipment, as he saw nothing to rival it in these particu- lars

Cold Storage Lady Bugs.

Lady bugs of Nevada origin are i'm.
ported into California to destroy many
of the insect pests of vines and orch
ards. They are found in moss under
the snow; but at that season they can
not be pressed into service, because
the worms on which they feed have
not yet appeared, while the lady bugs
are still alternating.
Accordingly the little Nevadans are
placed in refrigerating wagons and
thus conveyed to California, to re-
main in cold storage until their serv-
ices on vines and trees are required.
During all this time they take no food.
With spring come the destroying
worms, and then the lady bug is
taken from her prison and dispersed
where she appears most likely to do
her work we'll AS she is ravenously
hungry, the work is begun and con,
tinued until the worms are destroyed
