LIFTING OF GREEK BLOCKADE RELIEVES
 KING CONSTANTINE

London, Dec. 21.-The At1&&s corre- spondent of the Daily Mail, writing under date of Dec. 16, sends an inter estfng story of how, when the nego- tiations between the GreekN govern ment and the entente allies were hang ing fire and nothing seemed to come of the mission to Saloniki of Colonel PhaI1ys, of the Greek army, urgent or ders came from Paris on Dec 10 as a result of which the French minister took bold step, going straight to King Constantine ahd laying before him a firm demand for an instant set clement of the entente demands.
 The King tnereupon summoned the cabinet, says the report, and instruct ed the members that the entente allies would present 8 joint note requiring g immediate answer. This note, accord ing1y, was presented and acceptance being forthcoming quickly, the situa- ton was relieved and the blockade was raised next day.
 The whole of Athens rejofced, con- tinued the correspondent, and the King himself said he was inconceiv- ably relieved to be rid of the intoler- able anxiety.
 The correspondent expresses the opinion that although the blockade pressure had something to do with the Kings change of attitude, more powerful factor was his fear of Ger many, whose promised fleet eff sub- marines in Greek waters and large forces of troops on land were not without effect.

RICH COLLECTION OF GEMS IS GIVEN TO
 BRITISH MUSEUM
Mineralogist and Author Be- queathes line Gift to Public
 Enterprise.

London Dec. -21-The British Mu- scum has just received as a gift one of the finest private collections of precious stones in Great Britain. It was gathered by the late Sir Arthur Herbert Church, for many years pres ident of the Neurological Society, dis coverer- of~several new minerals, and author of numerous important scien- tific works.
 The collection consists of more than two hundred. stones, mostly mounted in rings. and every. specimen unique. Sir Arthur devoted his attention par ticularly to the products of Cey1on and for. many years was able to se- cure the pick of the rarer species of gems that came to light there. To the minera1ogist the pride of the co1- lection is a magnificent aurora-red specimen of spessartite, a variety of garnet that seldom provides stones large and clear enough for jewelry purposes. Weighing over six karats and beautifully cut in the modern fashion, the stone stands practically alone in the literature of gems. 1 l The collection includes the most varied series of zircons in existence
 and there are also excellent assort- i Inents of tourrnahnes, topazes, emer-
 aids, opa1s, and spine1s. Tho opals i include two fine stones of jet black l color.
 The. Museum trustees have decided ] to store the collection for the present i in a place where it will be safe from
 war and Zeppelin risks, and it. will therefore not be exhibited until after the war.

''ROUGHH0USE" ON
 PIGTAIL DAY WAS ITS DEATH KNELL
So Prophecies Editor of B. H. S Criterion In Christmas
 Issue.

PigtaiI Day, the time-honored instt- tuition of the Bridgeport High school seniors, never will be held again if a. prophecy by the editors of the B. H. s. Criterion is fulfilled
 That last observance of the affair broke up in what is known in High school as a trough house." Pigtai1 Day formerly was a day set aside for the girls to wear pigtails and the boys Buster Brown collars and disagreeing socks.
 The juniors, disappearing of some of the seniors costumes, clashed with them the last PigtaiI Day. One per son was knocked unconscious and sev- era1 others received minor injuries.
 The following is taken from the ed- itorial columns of the Christmas Cri- terion:
 has certainly been marked as a real record breaker. The boys of the class were not satisfied with enjoying their celebration separate from the girls but they felt obliged in every way to out shine the fairer sex. One young lady was heard to remark, You. fellows laughed at us but what shall we do about you ?'
 The fun was all right while it lasted but who can call a general rough house" a good time? It is not hard to guess that November 24, 1915, will be the date of the last Pigtai1 Day, but who started the trouble?
 Both parties. accuse each other and there is much to be said on both sides. In thef rst place that dignif1ed CD senior, who wore the unfortunate thar wat, knew that by wearing the hat, he would cause trouble Tn the second place, was it not cowardly for a mob of juniors to attack a lone se- nior, a little one at that? No one could blame the seniors for going to the rescue of their hero CD and cham pion.
 To the senior boys:
 What right have you to start a tfre-for- all fight after rescuing your man? All you have gained is the dis gust of the Bridgeort citizens.
 To the junior boys:
 The day belonged to the seniors who had permission from the office to amuse themselves (with rattles and baby delights if they wished) if they disturbed no one. Therefore if Pigtail Day is abolished, you can only thank yourselves.

Especial to The Farmer.)

Newtown. Dec. 21-The blocking of the state roads by the snow, and the decision of Attorney George E. Hinman given nearly a year ago that it is not the duty Of the state to re- move the snow, is arous1ng storm of protest from the farmers of the town. and in this section generally. The state road supervisors have been noti1ed that the state will not pay any bills contracted by the highway commissi oner for this purpose.
 Although this ruling was made January, 1915. it caused no comment last winter when there was no serious blockade, and the R. F. ID. carriers were able to cover their routes fairly rWe1- This storm caused so severe an 1n- terruption that from only a few post offices did the carriers make any att tempt to cover their routes for the past five days. and there is a. howl in consequence. It seems the post od1ce department is back of them, and the carriers demand open roadways or no mail. The se1ectmen feel they have all they can attend to in look ing after nearly 400 miles of town roads, and believe that the removal Of snow from state roads is the duty of the state, or should be. This is the contention of the board of select men in all the surrounding towns, al- though Danbury officials late last week did the work on the state roads lying in that town under protest but have sent in bill of costs to the highway commissioner.

POLICE STILL AT WORK
 ON SUPPOSED ARSON BUT
 HAVE MADE NO ARRESTS

Although the police have been unable to find any clue to the incendiary who set fire to the 12-family building at Walter and Green streets at 1:30 Mon day morning, Fire Marshal Daniel B. Johnson insists that in his opinion the fire was of incendiary origin.
 Ten of the families residing in the building reported at police headquar- ters yesterday afternoon where they were questioned by Sergeant of Dete-- tives Edward Cronan. All insist that they heard an explosion shortly be- fore the fire was discovered.
 Vincenzo. Crisuful1o admits having a quantity of olive oil to the amount of 200 quarts in the cellar of thxs @uilding. The oil is stored in tin cans and it is the belief of Sergeant Cronan that when the heat reached the oil cans they burst, causing the occupants of the house to believe they heard an ex- plosion.
 Louis Rosario, clerk in the grocery store, was in the building until 9:30 Sunday night, but Crisufullo, who had only recently been wed, was spending unaware of the fire until notified upon his return to this city Monday.
 The building is owned, by Jacob La vine of Pembroke street. Three sep arate fires were discovered in the burning building upon the arrival of one in an upper hallway and the third in a bedroom on the second floor. The one in the cellar was not under the grocery store.
 Reports about police. headquarters have it that the fire was started in a vengefuI manner by some enemy of Lavine, but Fire Chief Daniel D. John son is of a different opinion and he will not rest until the real cause is as- certained. No arrests have been made.
