ICE NEEDED PickAxEs.
Covered Rails So That Trolley Service Was HaIted-Worst lee Storm Since Road Was Built.

Ice encrusting the rails in some places to depth of four and five inch eS tied up the trolley line and caused a cessation of service between Central Village and Webster and between Dam ielson and Providence Tuesday. No ice storm since the road was built caused so much trouble The rain and sleet late Monday night during the early hours of Tuesday morning, when there was no service, coated the rails and whole roadbed with ice that was impentrable by the roads ploUghs and early morning attempts to send cars over the line only resulted in derailing them. One car left the iron at he1 Tvs corner in DayVille, another at Putnam.
 Working like Troians. employees of the road had by early afternoon open ed the line between ElnaTille and the sub- station Of the road just outside. Putnam. It was a mighty slow job that the men were called to work on, however, so progress in getting it ed Danielson. The Rhode Island com pany's line to Providence was tied up in Connecticut, causing the cancella.- ton Of through service during the day. In some places, near the Four Corners at DayvilIe, for instance. the ice coating on the rails was so heavy that pickaxes and bars had to be used to break it out
 Fortunately the telephone service not at all interefered with the Dam ielson division by the storm. All wires working Tuesday with no more than the average number Of trouble cases. The trolley road troubles were brought about by the freezing of inches of slush and the sleet when the temper ature took a decided drop to 10 above zero, where it remained during the greater part of Tuesday.
 What it means to be without trolley service is pretty thoroughly impress ed upon many local people during the day. Teachers who live here did not in some cases succeed in getting to their school in northern villages of the town. Business men and agents, pu- pills who come from out of town to the high school and many others had their whole scheme of things for the day disarranged and completely upset Travelling men lost time in this terri tory because they had 10 wait for steam trains to get from town 10 town. It was another case of you never miss the water till the well runs dry.

REPORT ON STUDY
 OF INFANT MORTALITY.
ArtificalIy Fed Babies Die More Rap
 idly Than Breast Fed.

Washington, Feb. 2.--The first re- port of it's study of infant mortality was made public tonight by the federal chiIdren's bureau. It is based on con 6itions found by the bureaus tnvesti- gators in Johnston, Pa.
 While it carefully avoids conClu- Sions, the report points out that in the poorest sections of Johnstown the death rate was 271 per thousand ba- bies, or more than five times that in the best residential sections Of the city.
 Babies whose fathers earned Si0 8 week. the report says, died at the rate Of 256 per thousand, while those whose fathers earned S25 or more g. week died at the rate of S4 per thousand. Artifically fed babies died at Q much more rapid rate than breast-fed babies. Only 46.6 babies per thous- and died under one year Of age when breast fed at least three months, as against 1858 per thousand who died when fed with artificial foods.
 When mothers were employed Q large part of the time in heavy work. babies died at a rapid rate. Tn one group of 19 mothers whose babies all died, 15 had been keeping lCdgers. In houses where water had to ioe obtain ed from outside, the death rate was found to be 19S per thousand, as against 1iS per thousand in houses where water was supplied by pipes.

Storm Puts Trolley System Out Of Business-Franeois Lavisne Found Dead at MiI-MinstreIs Mako a Hit Effort to Have Improved Lighting CarNirA

Putnam was without trolley service during Tuesday. It was after 3 D. m. before the first car put in an appear ance in the business section of the city, this one having worked its way up from the carhouse at Dayv1lIe behind a snow blow, after hours Of hard labor on the part Of the trackmen engaged in cutting the ice off the rails and the crews operating the cars. In Elm street the employees of the road encountered more difficulties and were held up the remainder of the afternoon. On the Webster end of the line the troubles were no less than here. It was the first day in years that the people along the Quinebaug valley were without trolley service. It was hoped Tuesday night to have the lines cleared and the cars operating on regular schedule time today.
 The telephone service here was not interfered with by the storm.

 Shower of Timetables, Etc.
 Town Clerk David F1agg is qualify ing as an expert on timetable sched- ules of the New Haven road. His friends are helping him. Tuesday mornings mail brought him nine time tables, other literature and some suS- geStions. Other mails brought more of the same kind of stuff. Mir. F1agg thinks there is a possibility that out of this fasS of printed time sheets and friendly suggestions he may soon study out just when passenger trains leave Putnan-and where they stop. this being Of considerable importance at times. Saturday last was one of the times, it now appears. Mir. FlagE wanted to go to Thompson. He start ed out to get a trolley car, but noticing train at the station he thought he would take it and save time in getting to his destination. AIr Flagg does not make a practice Of carrying money in his pocket and had just 8 shining half dollar to meet his transportation costs.
 When the train had nearly reached the Thompson station MT. F1agg, anx- ious to have the conductor get his fare, called him and told him where he wanted 10 get off and to take out the change. The conductor informed 0Ir Fiagg that the trains first stop was East Douglas, and to East Douglas he went, landing there with one cent in his pocket and a rebate check good for ten cents.
 Deciding that he could walk the dis tance back to the point where he was going in Thcmpson quicker than to wait hours for a. train, Air. F'iagg set out down the track. He figured he had about an eight mile hike ahead of him,
