The Tale of 8 Shirt

The clerks in local store had a new one put up to them last week by & strange, middle-aged customer from some where-but where? He came in- to the store and asked to be shown some night shirts. After making a se- lection he asked the clerk how to wear 1t and wanted to know If he took his clothes off first. The clerk was dumb founded and when he came to, thought his customer was kidding him but glance showed that the seeker for Knowledge of the fashion in night dress was in earnest and was appar- ently sober and sane. All of the other clerks who heard the question ducked behind the counter to change their fa- cial expressions and stuff their hand kerchiefs in their mouths. The sales man, with laugh Inside of him that was torture, explained the mystery of the shirt as quickly as possible and got the customer out of the store just as he, the clerk, exploded laugh that put the stock out of order.
 Perhaps the man hae never worn anything but pink silk pajamas but he did not look the part. He must have been from Dahomi. If the gar ment makes hit l.o may provide the rest of the family with night clothes also.

Hard to Meet Situation

Postmaster Letters of this city and Postmaster Dimmick of Willimantic have their hands full trying to devise a plan to meet the new orders of the post office department.
 On and after March 4, when the new eight hour law governing the work of postal employees becomes effective, first and second class offices will not be al lowed to work their clerks or carriers but eight hours day, and that service must be performed within ten consec- utive hours.
 This seems to be hard proposition to work out at the smaller second class offices. At Putnam the postofiice car riers have been working eight hours, but the eight hours were within thir' teen consecutive hours; clerks here have been working an average of nine hours and fifteen minutes, within thirteen and one-half consecutive hours.
 Figuring to use the present working force at the Putnam office in such a way as to meet the requirements of the new regulations is the most difficult problem he has faced since he has been in office here, Postmaster Letters said Monday. When the provisions of the law requiring that the eight hours of work be done by employees within ten consecutive hours is complied with it means quite little more help or an impaired service in this city.
 At present the clerks that go on duty at 6.3O a. m. end their work at 4.30 D.. m., the carriers that go on duty at 7.35 a. m ending their work for the day at 5.35 p. m. Postmaster Letters has made recommendations to Washing ton relative to what is needed in Put nam to keep the local service up to it's present standard of efficiency and is awaiting the result of the same. The matter has been called to the attention of Senator Brandegee and Congress man Higgins. Postmaster Letters is very anxious over the matter and un- less satisfactory arrangements can be made without his going he will leave for Washington the latter part of the week to take the matter up with the postal department officials.

ss.aoc .ooo Asked for stale lliehvays

Letters to Connecticut mayors are to be sent by the Connecticut Good Roads association asking the cooperation of the cities in securing enactment by the general assembly of legislation that will give the state a system of public highways which will be second to none in the country.
 The object of the association is to se- cure from the legislature bond issue of S5,000, ,000 to cover the cost of con structing 375 miles of main trunk line highways through the state, one along the entire coast line; one from New Britain to Thompsonville; one from Danbury to Meriden; one from Hart ford to Danielson, and one from Willi- mantle to New London. X study of the map of the state will show what a great benefit this system of trunk roads will be to this section in case the project meets with favorable action. The Good Roads association has been advised by the leading highway en- gineers that road can be built with a six-inch concrete foundation and a thin wearing surface of tar or asphalt, or both, for $l2,00o per mile. This, they say, would outlast all other methods of road building which are cheaper on the first cost, but which have to be repaired constantly.
 The following resolution has been sent by the Putnam Business Mems Association;
 Putnam, Conn, Feb. 19, 1913. To the General Assembly:
 A bill is before your Legislative body calling for the issuance of bonds by the state for the purpose of building main trunk line highways through different sections of the state. Our Business Mems Association, believing that we represent the interests of this section of Windham county, being on the Air Line route from Yew York to Boston most respectfully urge your honorable body to extend the line through Putnam.
