 The extensive additions of machin- cry for gun barrel work for the Cres- cent Fire Arrn9 company in the In- dustrial building have been completed and are in running order, awaiting the arrival of the steel barrels in the rough These come from Ohio and it is expected that a supply will be received in day or two, when the new department can start turning out the finished product.
 This new department of the Cres- cent Fire Arms company is a de- ve1opnnent because of the European war, as formerly all barrel materials were imported from Belgium. But with this supply cut off, the company decided to establish its own barrel de- partment, All this new machinery at the Crescent factory is of the latest design and is from Hartford makers.
 When running the extra machinery will employ number of trained hands and add largely to business of the company.

main east line of shafting, for tss 20 barrel boring machines, each ma- chine requiring five horse power to run. The 50 horse power motor is for hte roaming and other machines. The mo- tors are placed in the center of each line of shafting and overhead, all having been installed according to the plans and drawings by Architect c. H. Preston.
 The ppllies are all of steel, and split, for easy and thorough placing and working. Speeds have been taken with indicators, and run very close to load demands almost noiseleSsly. The main belt on the 100 horsepower mo- tor is l2 inches wide, on the 50 horse power motor eight inches wide. Both are double belts which were furnished and placed by a Norwich company while part of the machine belting has come from one Of the Norwich rnanufactuzTers and the balance ffo1d the other.

ENGINEER INSPECTED
 THAMES STREET POLES
Along Trolley Line - Measurements Show Scant Clearance in Some Places.


 c. c. Elweli. engineer for the public utilities commission, came here Thurs day for a conference with city off, cials and officers of the Shore Lir~ Electric Railway company over the pole line location along Thames street where the trolley company has de- sired to move the pole line, but plans which they have suggested have been disapproved by the common council.
 Engineer Elwell arrived here at noon and a special car was provided by the trolley company at o'clock to go over tn cline under discussion. Those whe went with the engineer were Cor pnration Counsel Joseph T. Tanning, Mayor T. c. Murphy, Alderman Houri- gan. counciIrnen J. J. Connolly and JoJseph H. Williams, Street Comnis- sioner Lillibridge, Supt. Stephen J. Kehoe of the gas and electrical de- partment, Electrical Engineer R. w. Eaton, and Supt. Samuel Anderson of the trolley company.
 the line and measurements were taken as to the clearance from the cars Tn one case it was il inches and in other cases 15 and 16 inches from the side of the closed car.
 After going over the line, the party held a conference at the office of the Shore Line company in Shetucket street.
 It is believed that the engineer will probably recommend that a minimum clearance of 21 inches should be the rule. As a result of this inspection and conference it is expected that the trolley people will make further peti : tion to the common council regarding the pole line changes.
 The special car was in charge Of Conductor Arthur Jackson and Motor man Charles Anderson.

Connecticut InfantiIe Mortality De-
 ereaasd

During the past few years there has been a considerable reduction in the general death rates with Q correspond- : ing increase in the average duration of human life. This has been largely brought about through the saving of life at the younger age periods and especially on infants under one year of age. Only eight years ago the in- fant mortality in Connecticut, says the monthly bulletin of the state board of health. was 14o deaths under one year of age to every 1000 living births or one death in every seven births. This has gradually decreased so that during the present year the infant death rate will be about 105 deaths to every 1000 births or one in every nine and one-half births. Tn other words, if the infant death rate of 1908 prevailed in 1914 there would have been 1000 more infant deaths. One of the means by which this result has been accomplished Is by infant welfare work. and in another column we publish an article by the physician in charge of this work in New Haven giving an account of the welfare work done there.

DOGS WILL WEAR
 THEIR MuxzLEs TODAY
A Regulation Goea Into Effect to Hold
 For 90 Days

Muzzled dogs will be the only ones that will have any liberty to roam on the streets of Norwich for the next three months from this morning, acA cording to the regulation that has been put into effect by the order of the state oornmissioner of domestic animals.
 # is safe to say that there win be a. lot of unconfortable dogs around the city today, for the ordinary doa unaccustorned to wearing a rausaie does not take ver.-:, Kindly to the wire cage over the snout.
 The muzzling order, which comes as consequence Of the recent mad dog scare, will mean something of a boom in the fsgszle business locally. as there were 1.45o dogs licensed. 1t is probable. however, that this number has decreased by 100 or so, which would indicate that there would be sales for about 1900 rnuzzles if al the dogs were to be fitted cut to be safe under the law.
