ton toward the Christmas goodcsl
Not to be hurried or worried at the last min
ute, she has ordered her plump turkey, has laid
in all her groceries, seen to it that the biggest
and latest of table raisns, the finest of walnuts
and cleanest of figs and dates are in the arder
Mnce meat for the pies has been made or bought
the fruit cake has had weekly bath of wine
glassful OF sherry for the last month"; the reddest
and whitest of Cape Cod cranberries will simmer
into Jelly the day before the feast the shortest
and crispest of white celery will lie all night
against the ice, and there are cooking sherry and
brandy spices and herbs, cookies and Christmas
cake, tangarines and lady apples and sweet white
grapes.
Little Mary has enjoyed stuffing the golden
dates with fat white peanuts, or halves of En-
glish walnuts, then rolling each delicious morsel
in snowy powdered sugar. Small John has pop
ped corn and tied strings to the barley sugar
toys these for the Christmas tree. To big sister
falls the pleasant task OF decorating the dining
room, the living room and halls, with great
punches and wreaths Of holly and mistetoe. Per-
haps Mr., College Boy hopes to help.
There are two things that mother-of-the- family
must remember First that certain dishes par
take of the very nature of Christmas itself and
are anticipated by every member OF the family
from Great Big Father to Smallest Boy. Are
you American for generatonsi Then, turkey
cranberry sauce, celery and mince pie for yours

The other thing dear Mother-of-the- Family
must remember is that while she respects FAM
lily tradition in her Christmas menu, some little
surprises and innovations will be warmly well
coined.
Ever served mushrooms with the Christmas
turkeyl Try them this year Dear me, you'd
quite forgotten picked lines or stuffed mangoes
What a surprise they'll be.
Baked squash will be change, and so will

FAT MANS CLUB
 AT BLOCK ISLAND.
New England Heavyweights Will Wis.,
 it There After Boat Race Day.

Block Island got along with light rainfall in May, according to the weather records, but may expect something heavy in June. About the 26th the islanders should look out for a disturbance of more than ordinary magnitude. The New England Fat Mans club will visit the island on that date on it's annual outing, after having previously visited New London and the Harvard Yale races. It may be necessary to reinforce the wharf in New Harbor on which the, fat men will land and there is probability of a movement being undertaken to have the stoutest of the natives move to the opposite side of the island when the visitors "come aboard to avoid ex tra heavy seas being shipped.
 The Providence constituency will be in the rendezvous of fat men at Pal mer, Mass, on Thursday, June 24. The club will travel by special train from Palmer to New London, where more than 300 rooms will be reserved for the fat men aboard a Hudson river day line steamer, which will come to New London the day before the races, to fal in the gap in restaurant and hotel accommodations made by the ruch on the city's facilities. The club will breakfast, lunch and dine aboard the steamer, see the races on Friday, and on Saturday morning leave for Block Island. Saturday and DOT ton of Sunday will be spent on the island.
 The assembly of fat men at Pal mer will be directed by President F. P. Sibley of Boston. Secretary Harry B. Parker of Bradford, Vt, and Treas urer Jerome Hale of Wells River, Vt, will do the personal conducting for that portion of the clubs membership from northern New England points.
 The fact that the time of the sum- mer outing of the Fat Mems club and the college races coincide is expected to attract a larger number of members than ever. More than 100 have assur- ed the officers that they will attend, and many will bring their wives and friends.

NORWICH PER CAPITA
 FIRE LOSS VERY LOW Was sf.t2 for Past Year-comnarss Well with CltIan of State.

According to the report of the com mittee on statistics and origin of fires or the National Board of Fire Under writers of New York, for 1914, dated Fire Chief Howard [. stanton, Nor wtch had fire loss of $1.12 per cap- ita for the year, while New London's per capita. loss for the year was s2.e6, which Is $1.s4 more per capita. Other per capita losses for the year in Con- so.ss; Danbury, s2.ae; Hartford, sS.54; Meriden. sO.SS; New Britain. $0.5S; New Haven, $2.S0; Stamford, $2.71; Waterbury, $117.
 Norwich has total of 5,37o build lngs of all kinds while New London ing 1914 there were 231 alarms. while New London had 137 alarms. Two hundred and twenty nine of the 2S0 fires in Norwich during 1914 were confined to the building or place of origin. The total value of property fires in Norwich during the year was S1,193,569. In New London for the same period the amount was $7S8,550 The insurance loss on the Norwich buildings was but S32,709, while the insurance loss in New London was $5O,274 Ninety-nine per cent of the fires in Norwich were confined to the building, or place of origin. To each 100 buildings Norwich had 4.2S fires, while New London had 3.61 fires.
 The committee report states that the total fire loss in the United States approximates. .$221, ,O0O, 900. This figure was not exceeded in any other years except 1904 and 1906, the Baltimore and San Francisco confiagrations. A comparison of the reports by cities with similar data for 1913 shows in creased losses in many of them and the list of cities in which the loss ex- ceeded $5 per capita is larger than for the preceding three years. This tends to indicate that the total in crease in the fire loss for 1914 was quite well distributed over the entire country.
 The tabuIation of fire losses by this committee has been carried on since 1889.
 Galveston, Texas, with a population of 47,000, an area of 6.5 miles and a total of 625 fires, shows a per capita loss of $33.06. the greatest per capita loss in the United States. The total value ofb property involved in the fires on which claim for loss was made was s5,22O,143 and the total insurance loss was S462, 337.

BOOM AT SHELTON
Through Purchase by shipbuiIdins and
 Engine Company of Groton.

At Shelton, manufacturers and oth- CTS anticipate a business boom as the result of the purchase of the old United States Gun and Ammunition company plant. later occupied by the Driggs- Seabury company, by L. Y. Spear of New London, president of the Shipbuilding and Engine company of Groton. It is understood that MT. Spear bought the plant for the General Ordnance company of Delaware.
 The plant, which is located in Derby, on the canal of the Housatonic Power company, consists of a large tract of land and several buildings, fairly well equipped with machinery. for the man ufacture of rapid fire guns and ord nance. MT Spear obtained an option on several acres of adjoining land and upon the plant of the Williams Type writer company near by. Those famil- far with the situation believe that the transaction foreshadows the establish ment of a large ordnance plant and the employment of several hundred men.

BRIDGEPORT SOLDIERS
 WILL LOSE THEIR VOTES.
Will Be at Fort Wright at Time of
 Special City Election.

Bridgeport has a special election on June 19 to vote on commission govern ment. Because they will be at the state encampment of the Connecticut National guard at Fort H. G. Wright, Fishers Island, N. Y, 360 members of the Fourth, Eleventh and Fourteenth companies, C. N. G., and the hospital corps of the battalion, as well as field and staff officers, sent a committee Tuesday to wait upon Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, seeking arrangements which will ennanbnlne ntnhem to vote. cahea will enable them to vote. The Bridge port militiamen claim the right to vote by precedent established during the Civil war, when polling places were established at camps for votes on na- tional and state issues.
 According to the report of Lieut.. Joseph M. Harrison at the meeting of the officers of the battalion of c. A. C., c. N. G., Tuesday night, provision for the guardsmen to vote on the questions before the special election on June 19, while they are in camp at Fort H. G. Wright, cannot be made.
 Lieutenant Harrison said he con ferred with Mayor Wilson and that the mayor expressed the opinion that the guardsmen's votes cannot legally be cast outside the state without legis- lative sanction. The time, he said, is too short for the legality of the matter to be thoroughly looked into. Fort H. G. Wright is in New York state.

Wiilinaantie Laundryman to Be Sent
 Back to China,

Chin Dung Wong, young Chin ese laundryman of Willimantic, was ordered deported to China, by a de- cisfon of United States Commits sioner Richard F. Carroll rendered on Monday afternoon at Hartford. Fran cis H. Parker, counsel for Chin, gave notice of appeal to the United States District court, and the bond of S1,000 under which Chin is at liberty was continued in force.
 The commission held that the governments allegations, prosecut- ed by District Attorney Frederick A. Scott, that Chin Dung Wong was H. legally in the country had been sus- tained. Chin went to Willimantic a few months ago from Burlington N- c. He claimed to have been born in Choco, Cal, and at hearing a few weeks ago Chin produced a witness who said he was present at Chins birth.
 On a subsequent hearing of the case District Attorney Scott pro- duced an @ davit the witness had made some years ago when getting a copy of a certificate to remain in the country, which set out that this very material witness had been in Santa Cruz all the time he said he was in Chino.
 In the case of Lee Him, another Commissioner Carroll found that Commissioner Carrooll found that Lee Him had not been proved to be illegally within the country and he was discharged. Thomas J. Kel- ly of Willimantic was his lawyer, and in the earlier hearings brought witnesses to prove that Lee Him was born in San Francisco.
