Recent years have shown a

so effective in starting friendly

MERlDEN MAN is
FOUND DEAD HERE
Room Filled With Escaping
Gas, But Authorities
Scout Suicide Theory

Oscar Joseph Bolinder. formerly OF
Meriden,. but more recently a LOGGER
at es Morehouse street, Black Rock
district. was this morning found deao
in bed Asphyxiation is given as the
cause and although rubber tube
leading to a. small stove IN the room
was found disconnected, and the young
man had complained of acute pain
during the night, the case is not pc
lieved by the authorities to have peen
one of suicide.
The deceased had been In Bridge
port but two months, where he came
at the request of his brother Bert, q
postman attached to the West End
postal station He had been working
Last night he retired shortly after
10 O'clock, but at 1:3O this morning he
dressed and came down stairs to the
landlords door, com planning of a pain
full toothache Remedies were given
which apparently relieved, and al
though not again seen he is supposed
to have returned to sleep.
Shortly before 6 o'clock the odor OF
esca ping gas was noticeable through
out the house, and investigation re-
suited in the finding of Bolinder''s
body upon the bed. DR.. Davis, who
was summoned, found that Bolinder
was dead.
Medical Examiner Samuel M. Gar
lick viewed the body and later gave
permission for the removal to a local
undertaking establishment where, al
ter. preparation for shipment, it will
be accompanied by the family to Mer-
iden for interment.

TIE PLAZA.

If your telephone line gets crossed
tomorrow, or even if central herself
seems a bit peevish, don't mind it. If
you forget what Solomon said about
ruling your passions and persist in
demanding satisfaction, you will only
be told TN connect you with Infor-
nation. and your appeal to that
high court of encyclopedia erudition
is likely only to elicit the statement
that the operators were on a lark
last evening"
The hello girls-yes, Sa1lie and Susie
and Minnie and all the rest of them
are going to fill solid block of sea is
at the Plaza tonight. They are eager
to hear what the Telephone Girls in
their merry musical comedy will say
when playing operator

the side, to be her guests at the Plaza
tonight, and it's a 80 to 1 shot that
they will be there. And Mil1ie topped
If off by inviting them to come back

THE CRAVING FOR FOOD.

Mean Eats Because He's Hungry, Not
For Scientific Reasons.
In an article Ia the Popular Science
Monthly Professor w. B. Cannon of
the Harvard Medical school writes:
"a Why do we eat2' This question, pre-
scented to a group of educated people,
1s likely to bring forth the answer, I'VE
eat to compensate for body waste or
to supply the body with fuel for it's la
bors.' Although the body is In fact
losing weight continuously and draw
ing continuously on its store of energy
and although the body must periodi-
eally be supplied with fresh material
and energy in order to keep more or
less even balance between the income
and the outgo. this maintenance OF
weight and strength is not the motive
for taking food.
primitive man and the lower animals
may be regarded as quite 1nacquainted
with notions OF the equilibrium of mat
ter and energy in the body, and yet
they take food and have an efficient ex-
istence in spite of this ignorance. In
nature generally important processes,
such as the preservation of the indi-
viduaI and the continuance of the race,
are not left to be determined by intel
Iectual considerations, but are provided
for in automatic devices. Natural de-
slres and impulses arise in conscious
ness, driving us to action, and only by
analysis do we learn their origin or di-
vine their significance. Thus our pri-
mary reasons for eating are to be found
not in convictions about metabolism,
but in the experiences of appetite and
hunger"

They Must BE Analysed "a ouch Apart
From Their Contents.
Many people think that the term
sanreproor' is a missioner, that there
II no such thing as q hreproof build
ing and that the use Of the term gives
one too great n sense Of security.
This attitude has been brought about
largely by the destruction or serious
damages OF certain buildings that were
supposed to have been f1reproof and by
the fact that many persons think be-
cause a building is f1reproof it should
I'm some occult fashion prevent the con-
tents from burning:
1t Is a matter of record that where
buildings called 6reproof have been
destroyed they have been found to
have violated some fundamental prin-
ciple of the really nreproof building.
A freproof building must be consid-
cred apart from it's contents, for the
structure itself can in NO way pre-
vent the burning of combustible ma
terial within it except the spread of
fire. It is true that as yet we have
not attained the absolutely. hreproof
building. since even the best freproof-
ing material we have today is some
what Manageable by fires. but we can
and do erect structures that are prac-
tically f1reproof.
The term ''flreproofs,I In building con-
struction means a capabflity OF with

Order Of the Draqon.

There is at least one order of Ameri-
can officers that congress has recog-
nized to the extent of permitting the
members to wear the badge with their
uniform on proper occasions This is
the Order of the Dragon, established
by commissioned officers of the army
at Picking in 1900. The members are
commissioned officers of the American
army and navy who served in China
during the Boxer troubles, and there
are honorary members from other ar
mics and navies which took part in the
campaign of the allies. The society is
similar in some ways to the Order of
the Cincinnati founded by French and
American officers at the close of the
American Revolution. the object of the
society being to perpetuate friendships
formed during the war.-New York Sun
