CHANGES INSURANCE RATES
 IN NEW ENGLAND New Regulations Affect Preferred Class Risks In Norwich.

An advance in insurance rates on term policies generally throughout New England has been promulgated by a circular letter from the New England Insurance Exchange in Bos- ton. The change applies on policies written on and after September 29th.
 In discussing the new rates We'd nesday evening. a Norwich agent said that in Norwich they would apply on the preferred class of property, such as dwellings,, household furniture, schools, churches, but that mercantile risks would not be affected.
 The circular of instructions, signed by c. M Gooddard, secretary of the exchange is as follows:
 Boston, Sept. 2s, 1914.
 Correction to all tariffs and local agents manuals, applying to term policies to take affect Sept. 29, 1914:
 On and after Sept. 29. 1914, lists, which under the rules have hereto fore been subject to term policies as two rates for three years and three rates for five years, shall only be writ ten by adding three-quarters of the annual rate to each year in excess of one as follows:
 One and three-fourth rates for two years.
 Two and one-half rates for three years.
 Three and one- quarter rates for four years.
 Four rates for five years.
 This ruling shall not be considered as extending the term policy privilege to any risks heretofore not subject to term policies, nor shall it be consid- cred as extending the length of the term for any risks which heretofore has been restricted to a three-year term. If any modification of rates or application of the term rule be made later. it is to be understood that all policies written on and after Sept. 29, under the new rule, shall be subject to pro rata rebate, so as to receive the full advantage of any changes which may be later made in the annual rate.
 According to a Norwich agent, this action on the part of tte insurance eA- change is looked upon As a temporary means adopted to check the practice of making pro rata cancellation Of pol icIes and rewriting for five year teams. It is believed that this circular will be followed by another which will change the annual rate on certain classes so that when the new rule for term policies for and 5 years is then applied there will be very little increase, if any. in this section.
 As it stands now the insurance rate on dwellings, which has been 70 cents per hundred for one year, 50 cents TOT three years and 75 cents TOT. nve years, will be advanced to 62 1-2 cents her hundred for three years and $1.oO per hundred for five years.
 It is understood that there is In prospect as well a general classldca- tion of all Connecticut cities into three classes, and that when this Is done similar property in all cities or the same class will pay the same insur- ance rate The classification ef the cities would be made, it is understood, with reference to the amount Of fire protection and other factors enter ing into the fire hazard.

FRAUD SCHEME IN
 NAME OF BOY SCOUTS Worked On One Norwich Merchant Like Fake in Waterbury and New Bedford.

In spite of the publicity given an attempt to obtain money fraudulently in the name of the Boy Scouts of America, one merchant in Norwich has fallen victim to the scheme. Last Monday he was approached by a very quiet appearing man with a propos1- . ton of certain advertising to be print ed as a Scout contest in the Nor wich Bulletin and the New London Day, having the sole rights for New London County. The proposition was very allu.ing, consequently the money was handed over to the man who gave in return a contract purporting to be signed by the Boy Scout president and the Secretary of State, both of which are apparently fradulent. The agent stated he would return in a few days with the advertising matter, which he failed to do, whereupon the merchant became suspicious and communicated with Scout Master Bruce of the Y. M. c. A. scout troop.
 It then became known that the man was apparently the same who has re- gently operated in Waterbury and New Bedford the same way.
 Local merchants are warned to have nothing to do with any advertis- ing scheme in favor of the Boy Scouts of America or Scouts of America" without ascertaining from the. local authorities as to it's authenticity. The plea in this case was that National Headquarters was running it so that the local organization had nothing to do with it.
 AS a matter of fact there is nothing that is sanctioned by the National Headouarters of the Boy Scouts of America that the local authorities at the Y M. c. A., as well as all local authorities, are not acquainted with, so to be safe the local officers should always be consulted.

SEPTEMBER MADE SOME RECORDS
Closed Busiest Three Months in Police Departmen441 Ar
 in the Quarter-Rainfan Was the Smallest Record for the Month-Fne Losses Were Extremely Light 1-i

The losses were unusually small, probably less than s1,000, for the month, as the prompt work where there was danger of a fire of any size has kept the blaze confined to the smallest possible limits.
 The last call for the month came on Wednesday evening about 9:45 o'clock, when some one from the Church street neighborhood telephoned that the chimney at the home of W. Tyler Olcott, No. 62 Church street, was spouting sparks. The autochemical from the Central station responded and found MT. Olcott very much sur prised to receive a call from them. He had a lively grate fire burning in a room cn the second floor of the house, but the sparks that were arising were only what might be expected.
 In Water Department.
 The past September made a record for September rainfalls in the water department. There were but three measurements of precipitation, the total reaching .64 of an inch. This makes the smallest September rainfall since the waterworks were built.
 There was some slight rain Tues day night and quite a lively shower Wednesday morning, giving a total of .27 of precipitation. The largest Sep tember rainfall on record here was 7.85 inches in 1888.

Wednesday completed the last month of a quarter which had made a new record in the Norwich police de- rartment, for the number of arrests made in any three months. The to- tai for July, August and September was Al, of which September contrt- buted 125, Aug TIT, and July 139.
 In the 125 arrests made in Septem- Der, intoxication was the cause that brought in the arm of the law in 51 cases breach of the peace in 34, with the other causes as follows:
 theft 10, burglary 4, resisting officer 4, non-support 1, assault 1, violation motor vehicle law l, insane 2, injury to private property 5, vagrancy 3, dis obeying officer I, defrauding boarding house 1, sleeping out 2, keeping house of assignation 2, fornication 1. robbery ? assault with intent to kill, selling watered milk.
 In September 104 lodgers were given quarters at headquarters over night, and IS stores were found open and secured sby the officers. The cooler nights of September had their effect upon the men seeking shelter, as there were 73 in August and S9 in July. There were IS store doors made fast in each month.
 In Fire Department.
 For the past month the fire de- partment had 27 alarms, of which were bell alarms.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR TURNS
GRAY, FADED HAIR DARK
AND GLOSSY.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 20 the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about 80 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair, as it does it so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

STANDING BY THEIR COUNTRY.
tSpringfield Republican,

(Springf1eld Republican,
Neither the French or the German
government has been in the least en-
barrassed thus far by socialists or
labor union antagonism to militarism.
The French mobilization could have
been wrecked by the national railroad
syndicate, as the organized railroad
employees are known, but the work of
the railroad men has been so excellent
that they have been thanked by the
president of the republic for their pa
triotic service. The great railroad
strike of 1910, which was broken
by the French government through
the calling of the strikers to the colors,
was wholly forgotten in the emergency
of the national defense.
In Germany, also, socialists have ap-
parently taken the view that the ia

will follow in the wake of war is our
duty. But we must recognize that the
