THAT NIANTiC BRIDGE
 SEEMS A PUzZLER.
Mantle People Feel They Will Have
 No New Bridge.

The county commissioners are still wrestling with the problem of a new bridge across the Mantle river, as or dered by the war department. That bureau of the federal government does not really care whether there is a bridge or not but if there is to be one, it must be of a different character than the present structure. Ninatic residents are much perturbed over the situation, fearing that in the end no new bridge will be erected and the old one will be ordered removed alto gether.
 Senators Whiton, Hewitt and Barnes have been appealed 10, and they re- gently inspected the premises. It is estimated that the cost of a new struc ture in the location approved by Yates & Yates, engineers for the comn1is- sioners while one could be built on the present site for. about s69, ,000 Definite figures will be obtained regarding the latter proposition and it is then planned to call a meeting at Mantle o fthe senators and representatives of New London county in the hope of resembling the action taken at a ses- sion in this city some time ago.

cHRIsT's ENEMIES WATCHING
If Christians Do Not Live Up to the church's Teaching, Rev. M. p. Gal win Reminds Catholics.

When Jesus went into the house of the chief of the Pharisees on the Sabbath day., to eat bread, they watched him" the opening words of the gospel for the Sunday, Luke xiv-1 Ii, formed the text from which Rev. Myles ?. Calvin preached at the high mass in St. Patrick's church yester- day.
 Christ's enemies are still watching Him and His holy church, the preach CT said, Christians have taken the name of Christ; and if they do not i've worthy of that name they are watched and noted by unbeIievers
 If Catholics neglect to assist reg ularly ar the holy sacrifice of the mass, if they are cow2rdly and fail to obey the command of their church as re- gards abstinence from meat on Fri day or on other prescribed days, if they seem to ignore confession while recognizing the fact that it was Christ Himself who conferred upon His dis ciples the power of forgiving sins, if they drink and gamble and run into debt, they may be sure that they are watched by those who will unjustly judge the church by such lax and un- worthy members.
 Yesterday, the first Sunday in Octo- Der, was Rosary Sunday and follow ing Vespers, at 3.30 in the afternoon, there. was the annual Rosary pro- cession of the sodalities connected with the church.

About 1730. young man, Thomas Carew, when walking over from Nor wich Town to his home on the New London turnpike, pulled up an elm sapling, and used it for a walking stick. On his arrival he discovered it had roots. so he planted it in his front yard. From this sapling grew a mighty elm. measuring in circunfer- ahce. just above the ground. 15 feet Il inches.
 It had, when in it's glory, a very widen spread of branches, under which the young people of Norwich Town had many a good time. Among those were the Spanish boys, students in the family of James Stedman. They came frequently to see the good peo- pie under the shelter of the big elm; and it was they who gave the name "Otro Bando." lover the river" to the section on the west bank of the Yam tic--a name that has clung to it ever since.
 The old elm has been the home of many birds. including owls; and many squirrels; and when. about sixteen years ago. the upper limbs had to be taken off. there was found stored away many quarts of honey. Finally all the limbs were removed, and only the tall trunk remained. The wood

Letter From Hon. Homer s. Cummings
 Explains Navy Yard Situation.

The following letter from Hon. Ho- mer s. Cummings. explains how he secured the temporary order suspend ing the removal of the submarine base from New London to Newport, issued early in the week by Rear Admiral Grant: MT. stephen J. McMahon, New Lon
 don, Conn.
 Dear MT McMahon: I received your letter of Sept. % with reference to the action taken by the navy department. I am very much interested in the sub- ject and shall do all that can. of course.
 I got in touch with Secretary Dan iels, whom I located in Lansing. Mich., and asked him to suspend any order relative to the change of the subma- rine base, until matters could be ad- justed. -s~
 I received a telegram from him stat ing that the action requested had been taken. Of course. it behooves the New London people to clear up the sttua- ton. as of course, it cannot endure indefinitely. I think the navy de partment wants to be absolutely fair about it but the city of New London will have to do it's part to clear up the situation and the more promptly il acts the better.
 Very sincerely yours,

bine climbing over this has been the home of the flying squirrels for a number of years.
 The poor trunk has been leaning more and more, gradually decaying. and on the night of Sept 25 it almost silently fell prostrate. The fall was not much more than a sigh that a long life was ended.
 Atrue story of animal intel1igence is told of some lodgers in this tree, when the branches were large enough to shelter many. In a hollow caused by the breaking off of a large limb, the owls had taken up their abode. At the same time a family of gray squir- rels took possession of a limb on the opposite side, and Waged continuous war with the owls. The latter main tained their rights. and the contest was hotly carried on until at last in cautiously. the owls took a notion to spend the day out a-Yisiting. The squirrels seized their opportunity and stopped the hole full of sticks, twies and even branches of considerable size, which they drove in so firmly, that all the storms of the succeeding winter did not dislodge them. For that year. then. the owls gave it up; but the next year they returned, and as long as there was any tree to shel- ter them, remained.

son, who is kept in office without re- gard to politics on account of the way he performs his duties. Then in the courts the judges try to divide the of fcials of the courts among both par ties and that has proven acceptable to the people. Homer Cummings holds office under that system.
 The present judge of probate in the Norwich district has held the office for a dozen years and has the conf dence and respect of the people of the district without regard to party. As a judge of probate he performs his duties conscientiously and with abil- ity and to the satisfaction of the peo- pie who have to come to his office.
 In closing MT. Desmond said he thought it highly proper for the dem ocrats to nominate Judge AylinS on their ticket. and he made that motion. The motion was seconded by Dr. Will liam c. Mclaughlin. Henry Bellows of Franklin also seconded the motion, saying that it gave him pleasure to do so as Judge Ayling has ever proved capable. The nomination was made by acclamat tion.
 Chairman Tanning was empowered to name a probate committee and. he named Hon. Thomas J. Kelly. Earl B. Mathewson and John R. Fowler.

l. IN MEETING
3 LAWS COSTLY
Increased Cost Of Building Material
Causing Owners Trouble-- Prices
Up 100 Per Cent.

Owners Of buildings under the ban OF
the Labor Department have an extra diff
ficulty confronting them in the increas-
ing cost of building material. For the
last six months building material prices
have been OF the upward plane. The
price Of steel. brass, tin. zinc. copper
and other metals used extensively In
meeting the orders Of the Labor Depart
ment has been jumping upward nearly
every week. Not until the last few
months have owners with orders against
their property come face to face with the
high cost OF metals and the like due TO
the great market created by the war.
In most cases these owners have been
p%ostponing the executing Of the changes
in the hope that the next day or the
next month would bring a reduction In
the price Of material.
Every sort of subterfuge has been
brought into play 10 delay tho enforce
ment of these orders. Somehow Labor
Department officials have accepted many
Of these pretexts. not a they be-
lieved them but because the situation has
been appreciated by the department.
Perhaps an unwritten order or a hint
has been passed to inspectors to be less
exactipe with property owners at this
time.
Just what the strict enforcement -
labor laws at this time would mean In
dollars and cents may he estimated by
the following incident About o
months ago a real estate agent was no.
titled by the Labor Department that fire
escapes should be put on a building OF
which ne had charge. lie got estimates
Of what the work would cost and then
notified the owner. After the nrst shock
Of the order had passed the owner put II
out Of his mind The other day the
Labor Department got tired OF delays
and gave fifteen days for the work to be
done. Estimates were again obtained,
and to the surprise Of the owner II will
cos, nearly twice as much 10 put FIRE
escapes on his building. Four months
ago the highest bid for the job was a
little less than $500. The latest esti-
mates range from about 1928 to nearly
5000.
This incident is true with many owners
not only IN regard 10 fire escapes but in
almost every other kind Of alterations
demanded by the Labor department.
