Possibility That Borough May Seek to
improve Fire Department. Equipment
Annual Parade Aug. 9Th.

It may not be many moons before
the borough Will be giving serious con-
sideration to motorizing in part the
local volunteer fire department, just
other reason. and to demonstrate the
pride that exists In the bosom Of every
true volunteer fireman. It is only q
year since two motor driven fire trucks
were added to the Westerly depart
ment, and a month later there was a
department. Then hte fever reached
Pawcatuck and, in their desire to get
something better than the other fell
lows on the Westerly side Of the Paw
catuck river. the Pawcatuck fire dis
trict negotiated for an autochemical
two in the Westerly department.
There is good water pressure in
Westerly and the exact conditions pre-
Vail in Pawcatuck and perhaps that's
a reason why the modern pumping ma
chine was not given consideration. And
for some other reason, the Pawcatuck-
ians made the mistake of not getting
the best type of autochemical and hose
wagon, although such action was sug-
gested in a district meeting.
Now Mystic comes to the front and
center and decides to purchase the very
best fire fighting machine made. far SUI
perior to those in Westerly, costing
considerably more, and better than the
one coming to Pawcatuck in every de-
tail. and with the pumps in addition
a triple action machine that can go
anywhere, under any conditions, and
work anywhere where there is water,
either through hydrant or from river,
brook, lake or pond, or even wells or
private reservoirs.

partment will meet Thursday evening

actuated solely by desire to put an
end to vote-buying in this state.
Mr.. Gerry said that he presented his
evidence to the department Of justice
late in December, after the 30-day Pc
Rod allowed for filing protests under
congressional rules had expired, and
that he purposely delayed his action in
the matter. The evidence which he
presented, he said, was obtained on
election day by detectives hired and
paid by him. who worked throughout
his district, in an effort to obtain proof
of the purchasing of votes. This evil
dence, he says. was later turned over
to the district attorneys office, and
upon it the basis for the indictments
recently returned by the federal grand
jury was laid.
Mr. Gerry maintains that the puri-
fication of political conditions was his
only object throughout and he says
that he will do the same thing at the
next election, regardless Of the out
come Of the present cases.
The samples taken from the Gavitt
restaurant by Coroner Brown for an
alysis by the Conneeticut state chemist
and in which no poison was found were
collected on the afternoon Of July 8,
or FIVE days after the frs tpoison cases
had developed. The samples taken by
the Rhode Island authorities were col
lected three days earlier. No samples
were taken until three days after the
poison cases became known, and no
pies Of the alleged poisonous batch
were sold after July 4th, the day after
the first case was discovered. These
facts, coupled with the statement of
several who suffered from the poison,
still indicate that the epidemic had its
origin in that particular restaurant.
No one in town believes that Mr..
Gavitt Is in any way personally re-
sponsible for three deaths that result
ed or for the sufferings of go others
who were poisoned.
During a temporary traffic conges-
tion In Broad street Tuesday afternoon
two nmousines owned by summer Wis
itors, both bearing Rhode Island regis
1892 and the black 1905, came together
were at a standsti1l, side by side, the
gray one being nearer the curb. When
the congestion was relieved the black
car was backed a trifle and at the same
time the gray car was driven ahead.
A sideswipe collision resulted and the
mudguards on both cars broken. In
the opinion OF the jury of sidewalk
observers, the gray car was at fault,
as it was impossible to get by the other
car without damage, the space between
the black car and the curbing being
insufficient for the passage of the gray
car. The chauffeurs exchanged their
names and numbers for the purpose of
fling claims with the insuring COM
panies.

BY NIxOLA GREELEY-SMITH
New York, Aug. 20.-Two New
York widows, Mrs. Ray Pitt and Mrs.
Martha Stevens, have set this whole
titanic town to talking about them.
All because they have told the news
papers that they want to marry
again, and have set forth with the
utmost candor the specifications,
mental, moral and physical of the
longed for mates.
The plight of these ladies and
many other loVelorn widows and
spinsters, if the truth be known, calls
attention to the need of a national
matrimonial bureau, where records
of manageable men and women
would be kept and where men and
women in search of life partners
could consult eligible lists and find
their future heIpmates without sub
iecting their most sacred feelings to
the bright light that beats about a
newspaper appeal.
Chairman Frank Walsh told me
last summer that one Of the recon-
mendatiOns of the industrial relations
commission to congress will be the
establishment of a national employ
ment bureau which would enable the
unemployed machinist in New York
to know whether Minneapolis or Des
Moines needs a man like him and
which would connect the man with
the job by putting one in touch with
the other, perhaps even to the ex-
tent of advancing money for trans
pOrtatiOn.
Now marriage is woman's principal
employment. It still furnishes more
women with jobs than all the other
trades and professions put together.
Often a spinster in Brooklyn, New
York, signs Vainly for a proposal
when a man on a Montana ranch
yearns for just such a brown haired,
coy little woman for a wife. And be-
cause there is no government bureau

step it forever down the dusty aisles
of life.
Congress should take up this mat
ter. am astonished that Mrs. Bor-
den Hartman, the representative Of
women and children on the industrial
relations commission, did not per
ceive the injustice of founding a gov
eminent bureau which will connect
the man with the job and give no
heed to the requirement of lonely
widows and spinsteTs.
In the East there is a chronic hus-
band famine.
Out West your bumper crop Of
husbands is exceeded only by your
apples and your wheat,
This inequality of distribution
should be remedied at once.
It can be remedied by the estab-
lishment of a national matrimonial
bureau run by Uncle Sam.
