ST. PATRIcK's STUDENTS
 TAKE THE PRIZES. Two Norwich Girls Lead the State in Mt. St. Joseph Seminary Examina- f;nns

Two of this years graduates of St. Patrick's parochiaI school and the only ones from here to take the entrance examinations for Mt. St. Joseph semi nary at Hartford. have brought honors to their school and great credit to themselves by winning the highest prizes in the entrance examinations
 They are Miss Mary Virginia Dris- coll, daughter of Policeman and Mrs. Timothy J. Driscoll of 3S 1-2 North Cliff street, and Miss Anna Madeline Ricrdan, daughter of Mrs. Jeremiah Riordan of 129 Orchard street.
 Out of the 26 pupils from parochial schools all over the diocese who took the entrance examinations, Miss Dris- coll made the highest standing, giving her the scholarship and tuition prize, which entities her to free tuition and board for the four years of the semi nary course. Miss Riordan took the second prize. which gives her free tuition for the full course.
 1t is an interesting fact that in rank in the graduating class at St. Patrick s school the positions were reversed, Miss Riordan being first and Miss Driscoll second

AUTOS HAD CLOSE SHAVE
 AT TRADING COVE.
Jitney and Touring Car Seraped By
 With Only Paint Between.

One of the several jitney buses that operate out of Franklin square whtih- ersoever the man with the fare desires to go, had a reasonably narrow escape or at least it's occupants had; the car itself was of a certain make which those who debated the possibilities af- ter the survivors got home and told their tale of woe argued couldn't have been hurt anyway-it's never busted" and always comes out on top, theoret- icalIy at least. The thing took place Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock at Trading Cove, where the highway runs through the valley, the scene of a fatal accident a year ago. It is not a wide piece of road, and at the critical moment the jitney was going south and a big touring car and a Shore Line electric work car were coming in tow ard Norwich. The three passed abreast. The jitney was on the outside, and it's passengers held their breath while 1t scraped by with just a gentle grazing of the other car InwardIy they had visions of an aeroplane trip into the ravine. One of the lucky passengers was Richard r. Pendleton of Franklin street. and his friends are congratulat- ing him on his good fortune. He was on his way to Mohegan with Mrs. Maria Fillmore, who had been on a shopping trip to this city, and was on her way to her home there.

AUTO PLUNGED
 ACROSS UNION SQUARE.
DriVe&ess It Brought Up Against
 Court House Wall.

While HenYy P Beausoliel, the painter, was in the Central Baptist church Friday afternoon about four o'clock looking after the remodeling of the seats which he is to finish, his 3200 pound automobile started off from the place where he had left it in front of the church and went plunging off across Union square till it brought up against the stone wall by the side of the court house steps.
 MT. Beausoliel is positive he set the brakes when he left the machine and things some boy must have tempered with it.
 The down hill grade gave the au- tomobile good momentum as it travel ed backwards across the square and when it hit the wall it drove in two big slabs in the wall and knocked down the smaller stones which form a backing to the granite slabs. One of the globes by the side of the court house steps was brpken-
 A hole stove in the takn was the principal damage to the automobile, as spare tire on the rear of the ma chine served as a shock absorber and protec1d the body of the machine.

HOW RANGE IS
 OBTAINED FOR BIG GUNS.
Important Instrument Which Makes
 Gunners' Work So Accurate.

The destructiveness and accuracy of the field guns employed by the various belligerents in the European war has been commented upon almost daily since the beginning of the war, but little mention has been made of the eighteen or twenty-pound instrument, without the aid of which these won- derful pieces of ordnance would be practically useless except at short ranges The instrument referred to is the range finder. The range finder is a telescope with the eyepiece in the centre of the tube. It has been de- veloped to a perfection that is almost weird, and when the image of the object that is to be bombarded shows in the finder. the scale indicates how far away that image is. The current Field Artillery Journal contains an interesting description of the range finding instrument These range finders, it is pointed out, in order to fulfill the requirements of modern war fare, must be of easy manipulation, so as to locate quickly any target, must measure distances rapidly, the distances affecting moving as well as stationary targets. They must be in sensible to mechanical and thermal influences, and must offer the possibil- ity of an easy and rapid correction of any errorsD
 The range officer, after locating his target, sets his eyepiece for the visual diatanca ofSkhA n1 - ~f

the diopter scale, and quickly gets the exact distance. If the approxi- mate distance Is unknown to the ob- server. the eyepiece is set by turning a small crank until the image of the target Is sharply outlined and reflects the greatest possible amount of details such as walls, bushes, frameworks. steeples.
 The field of view in the range finder is divided into two parts by a hori- zontal line, the image of the target showing inverted in the lower and up- right in the upper part of the field. the horizontal line dividing the two pictures. When the two images ap- pear the range officer immediately be- gins manipulating what is known as the height adjustment screw" and the two images are soon lined up so that the proper points toch each other ex- actly on the dividing line. The meas uring screw" as 1t Is called, then comes into play, and the images are shifted laterally exactly, one above is the steeple of church, when the points of the steeplefin the upper and lower images touch on the horizontal line the range has been obtained.
 The range being obtained, the facts are communicated to the battery commanders and the guns quickly set for the range and distance indicated. Then comes the insertion of the fuses that make possible the explosion of the projectile. The fuses are gradu- ated in yards. For instance, if the target sought is 2000 yards away, the figure 2000 shows. It is a hundred to-one shot that the projectile will burst at the distance desired.
 The same issue of The Field Artil- lery Journal also has some interesting details of the value of aeroplanes in IA inc m nf nd other necessary facts for their artil- lery commanders.
 From contemporaneous notes" !" says The Journal, 'it is learned that field artillery fire control. by means of aeroplanes, can be divided into three general classes. It is obtained by wire less telegraphy, by the aid of smoke bombs, and by visual signals.
 By means of wireless telegraphy one English officer performed the al- most incredible feat of putting a bat talion of field artillery successfully on nine different targets in about two hours This was near Ypres. The German and French methods are also very successful. When the aeroplane is directly over the target the pilot drops a smoke bomb. The battery commander, who has been fol- lowing the aeroplane with scissors in- strument and self-contained base range finder. takes a reading at the instant the bomb Is dropped He thus has all the necessary information to open searching fire"
 The French also depend to a certain extent upon signals displayed by their airmen. These signals, which are com- municated with the aid of small flags indicate whether the fire is short ol | over the target, and other information which it is necessary for the battery commanders to know if their fire is | to be effective

LAsoRER AND RAILRoAD
 MAN WE'RE CLAIMANTS
In Two Hearings Before compenss-
 tlon Commissioner .ponohus.

 Two hearings were held before Compensation Commissioner Dr. J. J. Donohue in the commissioners ofice in the Central building on Friday morning. The first was that of Jo- seph Angeias, of No. 697 Bank street. New London. who claimed compensa- ton from John J. O'Leary Of New London and the Globe Indemnity com pany of New Haven. The testimony was that Angelas was working for MT O'Leary in digging for the Standard oil company. together with other em- ployees. Angeles was working in a
 trench. and one or two others were digging in a cesspool, and a stone rolled down or was thrown into the cesspool and hit one of the men. This man believed the stone was thrown by mischief-ma ker and retaliated by tossing out another one This hap pened to hit Angelas in the eye, forci- ply. Effort was made to show that the injury arose out of or in the em- ployment of the injured man. Appli- cation for compensation in a similar case has been granted and on appeal the award overruled.
 W. B. Miller of Providence, R. l., vs. the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railfoad was the second claim heard. On Nov 23, 1914 Miller fell from a freight car, sustaining total loss of hearing in one ear and other injuries, and later signed a release to the company on payment of $4O0
 Under the compensation act 1t Is claimed that he is entitled to more money. Brown and James appeared for MT. Miller and E. J. Phillips for the railroad company and the opinion is that he may get a weekly sum foI a number of years. less the $400 al-
 ready paid. Miller received an aver age of more than S20 weekly in wages
 As Miller was employed on interstate trains counsel for the road may test the case on it's merits.
 The commissioner reserved his de- cisions in both cases.

Subscribers to the Norwich Building & Loan association whose organiza3 ton was undertaken several months ago under the auspices of the Nor wich Chamber of Commerce have just begun to make their monthly pay ments on the shares which make the first series which the association is sues. The organizers of this new en- terprise are very much gratified to find that their first series of shares starts with 50 shareholders represent ing a total of 1S0 shares, which they say compares very favorably with the experience of similar building and loan associations.
 It is anticipated also that this num- Der of shares and shareholders may be increased before the next yearly series is started as it is possible for new shareholders to enter a current series at any time before a new series has started. This they do by paying up for the months that have elapsed between the time of the opening of the series and the time they enter 1t. But after a new series of shares has been begun, the former series IS de- clared closed and there. can be no fur ther entries of new shareholders in it.
 The shares. which are. taken at $1 per month, mature in 12 years, and at that time the shareholder is paid SZOO TOT the $144 ne mas paid III. NeW series of shares are issued at half yearly periods at such times as the board Of management determine.
 It is possible for shareholders to borrow on their shares, paying inter est on the loan, and the progress of the business of the association busi- ness is shown monthly at the regular meetings held on the third Tuesday of each month.
 One of the points about that was commended by the officers of Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. of Massachusetts,
