" AN HOUR BEFORE DAWN !"
Miss Laura Sawyer Scores a Success in a Three.Reel Detective Story With
 the Famous Players.

MT Davies, director of Famous Players productions, is keen plotter or detective stories He has the fac ulty of concealing until such time as ne sees fit disclose it the identity of the criminal, if criminal there be or, as Id the case of An Hour Before Dawn,' which comes to the Imperial on Friday, January ?, showing that there is no criminal and that the death over which the police have been so much concerned was due to acci- dental causes.
 In An Hour Before Dawn a sci enlist engaged ill experiments on an explosive ray is found dead The pre- vious evening his son and heir had quarreled with about an actress. In the houss there is found a pistol with one unexpoded cartridge, but with the bullet missing. The death is caused by a missile of the same cal ibre. Here is the first real clue.
 The story, which is in three reels, is cleyerly constructed and holds the at- tention closely. Miss Laura Sawyer, as Kate Kirby, the detective daughter of the paralytic ex.detective (wel, played by House Peters,, is most in teresting in her portoayal of the wom- an doing police work. The production is notable for the police atmosphere, from the time when the police are summoned to the home of the wealthy astronomer lying dead in his study to the demonstration by Kate Kirby of the forces that accomplished the pro- fessOr'S destruction. N e see the work ing of the notorious third degree which of course is without the law and yet is always defended by every policeman as being as essential in the ferreting out of crime as it is brutal in method of execution. The means employed by Kate Kirby in solving the mystery are logical and conyinc- ing.

Two WreckS this week ! Several people injured! !! As a result of which one has since died. Sup pose you had been one of them, would you have been Aetna-ized? Would the expense resulting from the accident have come out of your poe ket'' or from the allow ance under an accident policy?
 r" The prudent man leaves nothing to change that can be guarded against byforethought.' , Suppose a serious acci- dent results in your be- ing forced to pay sever- al thousand dollars? In what condition would the withdrawal of that amount from your busi- ness leave you? Per- haps the money would have to be paid at the most inopportune time, when to secure it you would have to alter plans to give security that would mean a much greater financial loss than the actua! sum involved.

ty. Permission had been given to erect the new bridge at a point 110 feet dis tant from the old one which was ac- cepted by the state for highway uses at the last session of the general as sembly.
 It was ascertained afterward by the New Haven road engineers that sufti- cient room had not been allowed for the draw to swing in, and in cOnse- quenCe of this it was decided to place the new bridge approximately 185 feet north of the present one. It is on this account that the T. A. Scott company has been and i3 engaged in making sOundings and bOrings to determine the nature of the river bottom where 1t is intended to place the piers of the bridge.
 Major George B. Pillsbury, in charge of the U. $. engineer office in New London, stated Monday afternoon that the change m location would presum- ably make no difference to the war department. The plans for the bridge were approved by it two or three years have to receive official sanction he be- ieved that it would be granted read iIy.
 The importance of the coming high way bridge to this section can hardly be overestimated. Not the least inn Portant feature will be the vastly inn proved trolley connection with line from New London across the bridge and connecting with the StOningtOn and Westerly tracks.

DANIEL SON AND PUTNAM NEWS
FIRE ESCAPES REQUIRED.
Will Be Provided for DayviIIe and At tawausan Schools After Special Town Meeting.

A regular meeting of the town school committee was held at the high school building Tuesday afternoon. In addi- tIon to routine business transacted, there were reports from Supervisor A. 5. AmeS and Principal R. K. Bennett. Blue prints of fire escapes which under penalty of having the school buildings at DayVille and Attawaugan declared unsuitable and ordered closed under a new state law, must be built, were sub nlrted for inspection. The plans call Tor iron escapes answering all the re- quirements of the law. These will be constructed for $135 each by the firm that was the lowest bidder, which with the carpenter work (making doors leading to the escapes. etc.), will make total expense of about S325.
 As this sum is in excess of $50, it will be necessary to call a. special town meeting, that the appropriation may be legally made under the terms of a resolution relative to school expendi- lures passed at the annual town meet ing in October. This special town meeting will be asked for within short time, as it is compulsory upon the committee that the fire escapes be erected at the earliest possible date
 On account of the epidemic that de- Veloped in October, the average at tendance in the schools in a number of districts has been below normal and considerably so for several weeks past but with the clearing of the situation the usual average will soon be attained

horns. This pen of White Leghorns has stood first for the last three weeks. second for the week was an eXperi- nent pen entered by the StOrrs station. This pen produced g eggs. thus beat ing its record for last week by one egg. The pen of White Leghorns owned by Cecil Guernsey of East Cobles1iu. N. Y., came third with production of 30 eggs.
 Feeding Rations.
 The same feedin9 rations are being used for the dry mash and scratch grain as have been tested in the two preceding contests. The succulent food, however. has been changed. Until this year the principal green food during the winter months has been dried beet pulp, which was economical to use, as it is so easily stored. This year, how ever, the birds are being fed the man gel beets. These beets are cut in half from the floor. They are fed daily and the birds appear to be very fond of them
 At the present time all the expert mental pens of LeghOrns are laying, their production for this week varying from Il to g eggs. None of the Rock experimental pens have begun to lay. When their production does begin 1t will be interesting to see if the pens having the same rations stand in the same place in their respective classes.
 The leading ten pens to date are as follows:
