TAGS FOR DOGS
 ARE ON THEIR WAY
The 1914 Markers for the Canines Sent
 to Town Clerks.

The shipments of the 1914 state d0g 1, tb 5as fsetonz have ef t airsady begun company where they are made, but the allotment for Norwich has not yet been received by Town Clerk Charles s. HofDrook. There are 16S towns to which tags are to be sent
 owners of dogs are wondering what tho shape of the new tag is to be. In outline the check is an improved qua tPefofl The commissioner has a very tasteful and neat design. The dog year will start with the issuance of the new tags. Tags destined for New Haven,
 Bridgeport and Waterbury are sent by
 express. To all other towns packagers
 are sent by parcel post
 The tags were made and shipped to
 the various towns in accordance with
 a contract made by Commissioner of
 Domestic Animals Jeffrey O. Phelps,
 Jr. The making of these tags is an
 Interesting process and is much more
 complicated than many might think
 It starts with the passing of selected
 strips of standard brass through a punch press. In the press is placed a I die, carefully cut so as to punch out a blank in the exact shape prescribed by the commissioner The strip is fed under the press and the blanks are automatically counted and next are l taken to the dipping room. In that chamber of mystery they are treated to powerful baths of potash and acid that they may receive bright finish 1 When they are taken from the solu- ton they ire deposited in great sieves filled with selected sawdust. In this they are shaken until dry.
 Next they pass back to the machine room, where they are assembled in strings of 100 each and made ready Tor another contact with the punch press. Now each string is placed in the magazine of the big press, there 1 to be fed under the press, which now contain new die cut so as to be able to receive the names of the 16S towns in rapid succession, and also to receive numbers from an automatic numbering machine
 Having received these impressions, the blanks are considered to be the
 real things in state dog tags. The tags are carried over to the tables at which the bright boys called .linkers" work These nimble fingered boys link to- gether tags by town names keeping a sharp lookout that no erring tag falls
 by the wayside The tags for eacn
 town are thereupon wired together and laid away for the 1ay of judg-
 ment and shipping. When all the tags are inspected, linked and wired by towns careful accounting Is made. In the meantime the neyer-failing stonographer has addressed labels to the town clerk of each town. The wired consignment for each town Is wrapped in paper and again in cor rugaisd board and in stiff wrapping
 papsr. Then the shipping clerk draws ali easy breath and awaits the oncom-
 ing Of the eEpressmaH.
 Somewhere out in AndoVer a fox
 terrier or St, Bernard or a bulldog
 or it may be dog of ihdeterminate
 ancestry, is awaiting d tag which bears
 the number l. Up to 50 the numbers
 which are on their way to that old
 New England town.
 New Haven has the state record and
 takes 4.500 tags. Bridgeport was first
 a year age, Hartford has 5000, but
 maF come. back for more Waterbury has 2,600,
