AEROPLANE GUN MET
 TESTS SUCCESSFULLY.
Invention of Gregory c. Davison Given
 Practical Trial on Wednesday.

Vice President Gregory c. Davison of New London Ship and Engine com pany, inventor of the DavisOn torpedo, has perfected his aeroplane gun, on which he has been working for over a year. A trial of the gun on the deck of the yacht Idealia in Long IslaAd Sound Wednesday resulted success fully.
 This and successive tests are ex- pected to demonstrate that the Davi- son aeroplane gun may be fired from aeroplanes without danger of upset ting the air craft. The gun is a twin construction of aluminium with mug zIes pointing in opposite directions. Each barrel is fired at the same time, the explosion in one being designed to offset the force ot the explosion in the other, so that the equilibrium of the airship will be maintained. The gun weighs 185 pounds and may be carried on a passenger carrying aero- plane.
 MT. Davison's invention has been in- spected with keen interest by the army and navy ordinance officers and aero- plane corps.

A MESSAGE TO THIN,
 WEAK, SCRAWNY FOLks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh

Thin nervous. undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say' q can't understand why l do not get fat I eat plenty of good, nourishing food" The reason is just this: You cannot get fat no matter how much YOU eat unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat making elements Of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste.
 What is needed is means Of gent ly urging the assimilatiVe functions of the stomach and inteStineS to ab- sorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood where they may reach the starved shrunken, rundown tissues and build them up. The thin persons body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty ma terials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the blood. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regeneratlVe force that is recommended so nlSnly by physicians here and abroad Take little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Your druggist has Sargol, or can get it from his wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient.
 Caution:-W While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stom ach troubles it should not be taken unless you are willing to gain ten pounds or more. for it is wonderful flesh builder.

vestigation that he needed to help him sustain his government those who brought Madero to death because Ma dero had killed their friends.
 MT. Rowland told of the reign of terror in parts of Mexico caused by the bandits of the mountains, and their following, the bad element of any country that comes 10 the front in times of war, a section unsafe for either Americans or Mexicans; but spoke in decided terms of the perfect safety of Americans in the places where most Of them are located, their business and social gatherings going on as usual describing the disasters to Mexico that will follow President Wilson's order for the removal of all Americans.
 The Mexican government cannot treat or make terms with these ban dits, for their messengers are shot down, and 1t will take two or three years to exterminate them because of the swiftness Of their movements and the inaccessibility of their hiding places.
 Some of the many present wished that the facts so clearly presented could be brought to the attention of our statesmen and government.

TAX COMMISSIONER
 LIKES NORWICH METHOD.
Card Index List of Assessors Wins His
 Favorable Mention.

When Tax Commissioner William COrbin was here on Tuesday in con- ference with the Norwich assessors over the use to be made of the new uniform tax blank he was shown the card index system which the local board has been perfecting, and he commended this plan which the Nor wich assessors are following out
 This Norwich card index, he said, was already accomplishing much of what the new uniform tax blank is aiming to get at. This applies partic- ularly to the securing of dimensions of lots. On the Norwich card index the assessors have shown the size of lots and also indicate the names of adjoining property owners although in making note of these they often find it unsafe to follow even the data that is given them by property own CTS themselves, as in many cases they find that the owners have a very hazy idea about the points of the compass. likely to find that they have the boun- the information given by the property owner.
 The preparation of he index system has been in charge of Michael J. Cur ran, clerk of the board of assessors. When the lists were handed in last year, the assessors asked the property owners to give land measurements, and from these the card index was made up, one card for each piece of property. These are all arranged in the cabinet by sheets, making it pos sibIe to turn instantly to any partic- lar piece of property desired.

GOVERNOR BALDWIN OPPOSES
 MORE PAY FOR LEGISLATORS. He Thinks $500 Enough for Them
 $200 Advance is Too Much.

The towns and cities of Connecticut are to vote on Monday, Oct. s, on a constitutional amendment which pro- poses to increase the salary of mem bers of the general assembly from $500, the present figure, to $500.
 Governor Baldwin, when asked to give his views concerning the merits of the amendment. said he was op- posed to it's provisions, and expressed himself as follows:
 We have a larger number of legis- lators than in almost any other state, l believe, or z93 in both houses. My impression Is that no other state has as many. Vermont, l think, comes next nearest. with ZIG. The Vermont legis- Iature sits once in two years ana it's members receive $4 per day. The Massachusetts legislature consists of 2l3 members. Mary jard has 18Z and they are elected for two years. They get $500, the same as do our Iegisla- tors. Indiana has 150 members iIl her general assembly and they meet bien- nialIy and sessions are limited to 60 days. The members get $6 day and one mileage. West Virginia has 116 members in its legislature, which meets biennnally, and sessions are limited to 40 days, the pay being $4 per day.
 These figures are taken almost at fanQOin anu snow that II We advance our compensation, as this amendment proposes, we would probably be pay ing more for the services of our legis- latOrs than other states; certainly most of them. 1 think, in view of the large size of each of our houses of legislation, if any rise in salary is de- sirable, it should not be $200 at one jump,
 If these sessions are so conducted that the business is taken up early and disposed of promptly, $500 would be enough; and if it is not so taken up and disposed of. the members have themselves to blame. l am, therefore, not in favor of the proposed amend ment."

CHESTNUT TREES IN
 DANGER OF EXTINCTION No Sure Remedy Found to Save Con- necticut Forests from Blight.

pamphlet of twenty pages, issued by the Connecticut Agricultural Sta tion in New Haven, on The Chestnut nut Bark Disease says:
 At present there are no sure reme- dies known for this disease, because the fungus grows wholly within the tree. only it's fruiting postules appear ing on the surface, thus making it very difficult to control the disease by spraying even if 1t were practicable to do spraying in a chestnut forest. Oth- CT methods of control have also prov ed unsuccessful
 At the present time the chestnut blight is distributed entirely over Con- necticut. The trouble is more serious in the southwestern part of the state and west of the Connecticut river This is probably due to the fact that there is more chestnut in the western half. 1t was reported first in the southwestern towns O. the state, but recent studies of the disease prove that 1t was present to a greater or less degree in scattered localities through out the state as early as in these re- ported towns.
 Chestnut blight is present in Massa- chusetts along and west of the Con- necticut river, in Rhode Island it is scattered and serious in certain local ities. and it has also been reported from Vermont and New Hampshire. In New York it is progressing north along the Hudson river and is present in western Long Island. In New Jer- sey the chestnut has suffered over the entire state, and in Pennsylvania the trouble is serious in the eastern and bad in the southeastern part. The dis ease occurs generally in Delaware, while Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia have it scatteringly, the points of infection being few and ineonspic- uous in the latter state.

CARRIER PENDLETON'S
 LOCATION NOT KNOWN.
Postal Employees Wife Seeks to Dis
 cover His Whereabouts.

The whereabouts of Letter Carrier Lyman B. PendIeton continue to be a mystery to the postOfice authorities anl his friends in New London. Mrs. Pendeton was there Wednesday from her home in Long Island to make an effort to locate him. but she was un- able to obtain any information to as- sist her in the search. The best that she could do was to learn of a rumor that he had been seen in Old Lyme several days ago. Others who recall Mr. Pendleton's fondness for travel are inclined to the theory that he has gone abroad.
 At the postoffice it is thought that the carrier may be under @ misappre- hension as to the length of his leave of absence granted by the department. Before leaving the office Mir. Pendle- ton desired a leave of 500 days. He was granted 150 days, which began about July 20. So far as known he is not aware that his leave is limited to that time For this reason the off, ciaIs are anxious to get word to him, so that he may report in season not to lose his position
