WATER MAIN SPLIT BY FROST
Bursts Several Places Under Preston Brdge10 Inch Pipe Has Been Frozen Solid this Wnter-Thawed Out and Burst Early Thursday Evening.

it was found that this gate had also been affected by the frost so that 1t was not tight, and the water kept squirting from the pipes under the floor of the bridge in good volume un- til a gate at Hamilton avenue and Main street could be turned off
 When the flow of water was stopped the superintendent directed the work CTS to prepare to put in a gate in Main street at some distance from the easterly end of the bridge. This will be in the ground and will be better protected than the present gate, so that it will probably not be affected by the frost. The water department men with Foreman O'Neil and William c. Blicq in charge were to keep at work all night and have the gate in by morning, so that the water could be turned on in the section that was shut off Thursday night. This in cluded Penohscot street, Ripley Hill and Main street from the bridge as far as Hamilton avenue.
 While the main over the Preston bridge has been frozen through the winter the supply for East Norwich has not been diminished because there are alternate lines through which the water can reach that section.

LAND FOR ADDITION TO
 NEW LONDON ARMORY.
Proposed That City Present 1t to the
 State.

4 movement is on foot to request the city of New London to donate to the state a lot of land adjacent to the ar mory of sufficient size to permit the building of an addition to the present building large enough to accommodate the artillery equipment soon to be in- stalled there, provided the state will build the addition. This years appro- priation by congress will carry be- tween s30, GOO and $40000 for the equip ment of the New London armory with a 12-inch gun and disappearing car riage for the instruction of the coast artillery companies there.
 The state has appropriated s10,000 for improvement of the armory to be made this spring, but before the gov interior of the building must be in satisfactory condition to receive it. Should this not be the case. it may be years before New London's turn comes again.
 At the present time the armory is the only building in that city suited to large gatherings. It can be used to seat from 5000 to 40, GOO persons Should TO addition be built, the in stallation of the artillery eQuiUl
 would take up a good part of the
 space and would prevent any soci;! other gatherings being held the in the future. The city owns the adjoin- ing property in Colt street and it has policy to give a portion of it to the state for this purpose. thereby insur- ing the use of the present floor space in the armory for public functions. The 12-inch gun to be installed is A feet long and weighs 50 tons.

The ten-inch water main that crosses Preston bridge thawed out and burst on Thursday evening about 6.30 clock, sending a flood of water spouting out of it down into the Shetucket river from probably three or four or possi- bly, more places where the frost had split the big iron pipes. They had been frozen solid by the cold weather of the winter months. which is con- dition not unusual Supt. J. J. Corlkery of the water department said Thurs day evening, but it is not always that the frost breaks the pipes.
 When the pipes burst the big drain which that occasioned on the supply in East Norwich soon made itself felt to the heuseholders and practically all in that section realized there was some thing the matter with the water
 AS soon as he was notified by tele- phone, Superintendent Corkery got Foreman Michael H. O'Neil and help CTS there from some work they were doing on the West Side. where there was a break in a service.
 The first thing to do was to shut off the water on the line over the bridge, which was done at the gate at Main street, and also at the gate on the southerly end of the bridge; but

A SIMPLE WAY TO
 REMOVE DANDRUFF
Prevent Falling Hair and End
 Itching Scalp.

\ There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it.. then you de- -stroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, com mon liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need) ap- ply 1t at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve, and entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it. no mat ter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth- ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and hfeless, and everybody notices it.

Put upon hot platter An inexpensive dessert: One cup of finely ground tapioca; add one quart of cold water, let it stand two hours, then cook slowly, stirring occasionally. When it is thoroughly dissolved add a pinch of salt and one cup of sugar. When the sugar is dissolved (which requires about five minutes) remove from the fire Add a can of pineapple. MRS. $. C. M
 The croquettes are firmer and less likely to soak up the hot fat if, instead of leav- ing them upon the board, you set them in ice for three hours. Leave them there rntil you are actually ready to drop into the boiling fat The tapioca pud- ding is served cold, of course? And would not the accompaniment of cream enhance the deliciousness of the dessert?
