THIRTEEN YEARS A WATCHMAN, TERRELL
 GIVES UP HIS JOB

4 Frank Terrill who for 13 years has been a private watchman for the bus iness places in Water street, will give up that work for position as janitor at the new factory of. the American Graphophone Co. in Barnum avenue. This is the factory formerly occupied by the Birdsey. Somers Go.
 In point of service Mir. Terrill is one of the oldest private watchman in the city. His father. the late Horatio Ter Till. was one of the old town watch. When the paid police was established he became a night watchman looking after stores in Fairfield avenue, Main street, Water and Gilbert streets. MT. Terrill. was held in high esteem by the men who employed him to watch over their places of business and when he died they asked his son, Frank. to continue the work. The later had often relieved his father and was fa- imiliar with all the places to be guarded.
 With the increase sn' the police force of late and the business chances that have occurred in Water street, many of the business men in the center of the city feel they no longer need the services of a private guard at night. MT. 'Terrill decided two weeks ago to give up this occupation and has given notice to those who employed him. That his services have been ap- preciated is evidenced by a number of letters of recommendation which he has received since his decision to take up some other work.

AUTOMOBILE THIEVES
 NOW STEALING COILS

Changing their tactics, automobile accessory thieves now are making a practice of stealing the coils from automobiles instead of the extra tires though they still appropriate the lat ter when chance permits.
 During the last few days four com plaints have been received of the thefts of the units from machines and all of them have been from cars that have been parked at the foot of Sea- view avenue near the approach to Pleasure beach.
 Several operators of cars have left their machines at the end of Seaview avenue while they have been in a nearby shore house of at the beach. Upon cranking the car. preparatory to the return trip they have found that the engine would not start and after examining various parts of the mech anism, have been at a loss to under stand the balky tendencies of the en- zines. ss,a
 One driver of car summoned q mechanic from a garage and he was unable to locate the trouble. After taking the carburetor apart he fl- ally found that the units had been taken and at the same time, q mo- torist whose car was parked earby exclaimed that the coils from his ma chine had also been taken.
 Today, Dr. William H. Curley re- ported to the police that while on . sick call last night to a house. sev- eral houses from the end of Sea- view avenue someone took> the extra tire which he had attached to the rear of his machine. The chain and lock which were upon 1t had also been taken by the thief.

ALLIES TO PUT RENEWAL ORDERS
 WITH ARMS GO.
Increasing Efficiency of Plant Important Factor
 More Labor Needed.

The Remington Arms & Ammuni- ton Co. will receive duplication of orders from European countries when the present contracts have been filled. This fact became known today in financial circles, and is the result, 1t is said, of the manner in which ship ments have been progressing under recent management.
 From an authentic source of infor- nation the ,rumor that Allied govern ments have recently inspected the big plants here is verified. That they have found the physical equipment of the buildings second. to none in this country and equal to any abroad for the manufacture of small arms is as- serted.
 While shipments are said to have been small in quantity at the outset the quality of the product is said to have been highly satisfactory to the governments concerned with the re- suit that new orders have been offered to the Remington Arms & Ammuni- ton Go.
 These orders have not as yet been accepted pending attempts to ascer- tain the resources of the labor market. A large number of proficient employees are needed in the factory to enable the plant to attain it's maximum out put, which has not yet been reached.
 The employment of these men rests upon their mechanical ability as well as the housing situation which still remains tense. It is hoped that the winter season will have solved this problem in which event there is lit renewal orders.

TestIno Rubber,


 The elasticity and hardness of rub Der can be determined by an apparatus akin to the schleroscope, which shows the hardness of steel by the rebound of pointed steel hammer. "A sharp point is forced into the rubber, and the force exerted and the depth of pen etration are automatically recorded on graduated circles, combination of these indications giving the degree of hardness. The elasticity Is shown by the heights of rebound of . steel ball when dropped upon the rubber from q measured height. The apparatus is simple and easily and rapidly tests the relative value of different specimens of rubber.
