LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

relatives are working only half time they are not in the employ of the American Thermos Bottle company or any contractor who has been at work on the ThermOs plant.
 That the removal of the bottle works to Norwich has been delayed so long has been 8 source or disappointment to Norwich. but has tried the patience of the management Of the American Thermos Bottle company far more. The causes of the delay have been many and not unreasonable when con sfdered by business man. but the fact have not finished the building and equipment.
 To enumerate all the benefits that have already come to Norwich through the Thermos movement would take too much space in your paper. I will mention a few:
 First. The Thermos campaign re- suited in securing the MacKay Copper Process company. concern that en- ploys several high priced and aggres- sive men whose presence in the com munity Is a great gain. This concern asked no favOrs, is now becoming of national importance, and has already expended large sums on construction work.
 Second: The completion of the Ther- mos factory being delayed, the Ameri- can Thermos Bottle company decided to establish a branch factory in the
  being operated and wages paid to learners of /over $500 a week at the present time
 Third: The large consumption of gas by the Thernos Bottle company has resulted in the promise of a reduction in the rate of - to every consumer in Norwich. which will be a saving to nearly every family in the city.
 Fourth: More old tenement houses in Norwich have been remodeled. inn proved and rendered desirable during the past six months than during any period of the same duration in recent years. Someone was paid to do this work.
 Fifth: A number of Norwich men have already obtained desirable posi- tions with the American Thermos Bot tie company at increased salaries. vru
 Sixth: The American Thermos Bot expend S40.o00 in addition to the $6o,- GOO contributed by the local subscrib CTS on the factory building on Laurel Hill, jointly owned by the two inter ests.
 In conclusion, let me say that the history of the Thermos campaign can be compared with the campaign for tho wonen's college at New London with out Norwich suffering so it could be noticed. for the Thermos building is now beine occupied and the New Lon don buildings are still on paper, all though the subscribers long ago paid up.
 No one expected the full benefits to come from the Thermos plant before

Birds And Insects .


 MT. Editor: - In Fridays Bulletin a telegram from Washington says MT. C.. H. Fisk, Of Stafford Springs, commend ing Senator McLean's bill for protection of migratory birds, claimed that in his neighborhood; We cannot raise apples or small fruits or berries on account of the insects that infest our orchards and gardens. These insects are the natu- ral food of the birds the Senator is seeking to protect. An official of the Agricultural Department says the nat ura1 increase of one pair of gypsy moths left to their own devises would defoHate the entire United States in eight years. destroying every green thing"
 It was in 1869 that Prof Trouvelot accidentally permitted a few gypsy moths to escape near Boston, and in A years since, they have spread over a very small section of New England only, and even there, have not destroyed every green thing" This in spite of their having few insect enemies as yet in the country. If millions will not in 40 England is not the estimate of the official as to destruction by one pair progeny in eight years an enormous ex- aggeration? And yet figuring only 400 eggs each, the female moths of the-sev- enth generation would deposit 655 quin- tillion eggs. At 655 to the pound the moths from these eggs would weigh 800 900 OO0 900 0O0 tons 500 triIlion tons
 
 any morning before breakfast, ForSu- nately destructive insects are never left to their devices" the govern ment helping the states in fighting pests wherever found. Many of the insects that prey upon gypsy moths in Europe, and their eggs, have been imported to prey upon them here, and prospects are hattering for an early success Way not depend on the birds? Probably because birds would be more fond of the moth 8 enemies than of the moths themselves. Birds never discriminate between pes tiforpus and beneficient insects, and there are many more of the latter
 Can't raise fruit in Holland Countyi What do you think of that? While MT. Fisk wants more birds to help in grow ing fruit, many growers are complain ing bitterly because robins eat all their strawberries, cherries and grapes. One in New York with large cherry or chard used to produce tons of cherries; now he has difficulty in saving enough for fe wpies. A. A. Halladay. Blows Falls.l Vt, has the same trouble. .Dr. Van Fleet of New Jersey found 1t i'm possible to get ripe strawberry unless he covered the vines with netting; all because of abundance of robins. lntell- igent fruit growers have no difficulty in fighting insects injurious to crops. The Repp Brothers have 400 acres in apples near Glassboro, N. J. and it is almost impossible to find an apple with worm

Much and Will Do More for Nor-
 wich.
 MT. Editor: You printed in this mornings issue a, letter from Mrs. Taylor protesting against the popular movement for @ new automobile am bulance as this is a hardship for her so soon after fthe Thermos campaign.
 I fail to find Mrs. Taylor's name among the list of subscribers to the Thermos fund.
 Mrs. Taylor also inquires how much benefit has come to Norwich through the bottle works
 In reply I would say that every promise made regarding the American Thermos Bottle company has been more than fulfilled. Every benefit that could come from a great increase in building operations of the town has been received by local contractors and employees. Anyone has only to com pare the hours of employment of men in the building trade the past three months with those of a year ago to find there has been a substantial gain.

ASS0CVA-T DRESS DISPATCH
 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Further re- spOnse was made by stocks to the de- pressing character of news affecting the speculative opinion. The market at the outset because of the decline of American stocks in London which was supplemented by moderate selling here for the foreign account. At home much was made of the reported de- termination of the government to adopt a sterner policy in dealing with the Mexican problem. The highly unfaV- Orable bank statement of last Saturday showing a deficit, also affected the market adversely. Call loans were re- newed at per cent. Call funds broke late in the day to per cent. The brief filed in the suit to dissolve the International Harvester corporation was cited as another cause of depres- sion. The street regarded the statement of the governments position as indicat- ing an uncompromising attitude in the enforcement of the Sherman anti trust law The decline of stocks ran from to points among virtually all the leaders. The pressure was not severe and there was small recovery toward the end. Mexican petroleum broke II % to new low record at 44A, the break being influenced by the failure of the directors to act on the dividend Satur-
