given as the reason for the change. The concern has recently added line of motorcycles to it's stock and par ticular attention will be given to these in the new quarters. New Britain'S S sportsmen of all lines will be taken care of
 The firm of Monier and Bro, start ed business in an old store in the Moore block in the fall of 1898. It was exceedingly small and cramped. Originally the space used as a store had been a driveway. Later G. F. Tyler conducted a sporting goods shop there and then it was opened up as a shoe store. It again became a sporting goods store shortly before the Moniers acquired the business. The growth of the business warranted the firm moving several doors below to their present quarters about four years ago. Now it is necessary to again move.
 Ambitious plans for a modern and complete place of business have been made by the firm for it's new quar- ters. The windows looking toward Hungerford court will be lowered and the front made into an attractive show window similar to the other shops

PASTEURIZED MILK.

Washington, D. C., Feb. That there is no valid objection to pasteuri- zation when properly performed and that the process makes safer even the most carefully handled and in spected milk is the conclusion uf a new professional paper of the Depart ment of Agriculture, in which are set forth the most recent conclusions of scientists in regard to this matter. It seems probable, says this paper, that within the next two years a large pro- portion of the milk supply in the large cities will be pasteurized There
 is already a marked tendency in this direction. About ten years ago only per cent. of the milk supply Of New York city was pasteurized. In 1914 SS per cent. was treated in this way. At the present time 80 per cent. of the milk supply of Boston is pasteur- ized, and there are corresponding increases in many of the smaller cities

CHANGES IN LYCEUM PLAYERS.
Only Four Members of Present Com- pany will Remain at Local Theater.

A public meeting was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night to consider taking steps to keep the Lyceum Players in this city until June 1. President E. w. Christ of the Chamber of Commerce presided and speeches from several prominent citizens were heard. A subscription list of those willing to subscribe for seats was taken and there were many names placed upon it. The company will remain.
 It has been decided to change the personnel of the company, only four of the present company remaining. Those who will continue to please local audiences are Miss Julie Herne, Alfred Cross, Philip Sheffield and J. Irving White. Kendall Weston will continue in the capacity of director.
 Bought and Pair For" will be presented next week and as only six characters are required for this play, an ingenue and second woman will be secured now. MT.

 Many requests have been received for a presentation of the '"The Blind ness of Virtue' and that will be the offering of the following week. This play also has but six parts, so no more new mem berS will be needed at this time, but the cast will be aug mented as occasion requires.

NAVAL RESERVE PLAN
 DRAWS VOLUNTEERS
Thousands of Petitions Sent to Con- gross for Establishment of
 Training Camps.

Washington, Feb. More than six thousand signatures have been received to the petitions for Naval Training camps sent out by the Naval Reserve committee of the Navy league. The petitions are being circu- lated in New England. New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and members of the Naval Reserve com mittee expect to have half million signatures within a few months.
 It is the plan of the committee to build up in times of peace a reserve of speedy yachts and motor boats, with trained commanders and crews and force of skilled mechanics. The steps taken by England to defend her shores and commerce against sub- marines, according to Naval experts, have shown the necessity for such 8 reserve. It is generally conceded by authorities that in event of emergency this country would need Naval Re serve of at least one hundred thou sand men. England has found it ne- cessarv to enroll 4,2O0 fishing boats, motorboats and yachts.
 For the yachtsmen the plan is to have courses at the Naval Platts- burgs" or training camps, in subma- rine hunting, scouting, dispatch bear ing, convoy duty with cruisers and battieships, and fleet maneuvers There also will be courses for skilled electricians, mechanics and workers In a great variety of trades that would fit them to take the places of blue jackets.
 The Navy department has indorseo inc idea of the reserve force, and ir response to petitions signed by ter thousand citizens has approved plans for a camp at the Great Lakes Maya training Station near Chicago. Ir fae opinion of the Naval Reserve committee, the selection of other sites. will depend upon the demand The committee has been assured that there is such a demand for camps et Newport, on Narrangansett Bay: at philadelphia, where the Atlantic Reserve Battleship fleet is stationed: at Norfolk, Va, and at points on tho GuIf and on the Pacific coast.
 Details of the cost for a montl If training at such camps are being worked out by the committee in con- junction with Naval experts, and vii he made public when completed. The committee is anxious to get in toucf with all citizens who desire to attend a Naval Training camp and register for the Naval Reserve.

ROADS GOING TO PIECES.
Even State Highways Suffer From
 Present Weather Conditions.

The soft weather of the past ten days has worked disastrously to roads in this section and even the finely constructed state highways leading to other towns are showing the effects. The Hartford road via Ibelle's-corner is going to pieces fast in many spots under the combined influence of heavy auto traffic and the mild weather which is bringing the frost out of the grounda/ In places for a hundred yards at stretch the oiled surface has been broken and great ruts have appeared between the wheel tracks. Country reads are reported nearly impassa ble and automobilists who venture on un- frequented ways do so at their peril.
 Numbers of cars have been re- ported mired during the past week and conditions are slow to improve. Oiled roads, which were in splendid condition in the early winter, are everywhere broken and travelled, the caked surface being broken by the auto traffic Just now outside of the permanent pavement on the central streets of the city there is only one piece of highway which shows signs of durability and that is the con- crete trunk road built two years ago by the state on Stanley street be-
 tween Allen street and the bridge near Ibelle's corner. This piece of road seems to improve with age, if that is possible, and all who travel over it are loud in it's praises.
