Advocated By Commissioner of Edu-
 cation at Boston.

VOLUNTEER TRAINING CAMP.
Naval Reserve Committee Hopes to
 Have One on Atlantic Coast.

Naval Reserve Committee Hopes to
 Have One on Atlantic Coast.
 New York. Jan 15.-The naval re- serve committee of the Navy League has undertaken an effort to establish on the north Atlantic coast naval volunteer training camp for the in- struction next summer of citizens in naval routine and discipline. The movement is understood to be in line with the plan to establish a training camp on the Great Lakes near Chicago which has been approved by the navy department.
 A petition to the navy department drawn up by the promoters of the movement here pledges the petition CTS to obtain recruits, yachts and motor boats in accord With any plans devised by the navy department. A staten ent issued by the committee, says that 100000 officers and men are vitally needed to form the second and third lines of defense under con- ditions of modern naval warfare, and that England's defense against sub- marines shows that motor boats carrying guns have proved the most important unit of the second line, and, in cooperation with aerOplanes, the most effective weapon against submarine attack.

Rev York Concern Has Option Extended on KenSington Property
pRINCIPALSREMAIN RETICENT
Old Option Kept Ammunition Plant From Locating at the Old Hartford Burial Case PIant-Has Rear Wheel Damaged in Hartford Collision.

Although the New York firm "l- lowed it's option on the old coffin fac tory to expire on January 1, never theless there is an optimistic feeling about town concerning the location of new industry here. The directors of the Hartford Burial Case company, the present owners of, the plant, are very reticent concerning the sale of the property, but when citizen, who owns property in that neighborhood, called at the Hartford office Thurs day, an officer admitted a New York leather company had an option on the place, but it expired on January 1. When questioned further, the officer said although the option had expired the Burial Case company had, upon request of the leather representative, issued another option, which will ex- pire on February 1.
 During the interview it was brought out that the option was given last Au- gust and if such had not been the case, it is probable the factory on Pennington road would now be 8 munitions plant. A director of the Hartford concern was approached cn
 
 become connected with a large muni- ton plant and the latter asked him the price of the property. The di- rector told his questioner a leather concern had an option on the prop erty. In December the director said he heard there had been a. conference between representatives of the leather and munition concerns, but the former set a DrohibitiVe price on it's ODtiOn At present the matter hangs fire, but the citizen who interviewed the di- rector of the Hartford company on last Thursday says from the officers conversation he gathered the com- pany expects to sell the property in the near future. It was reported the leather concern employs in the neigh borhood of 100 hands and there is no question but what an industry of tltat size would be welcome in town.
 .--.... Better Late.
 Evidently the old adage Better late than never" still has some followers, for Town Clerk Shaw received a let ter from the Hartford bureau of vital statistics yesterday, which when opened proved to be birth certificate. Mir. Shaw looked at it, then wiped his glasses and looked again, and ejacu- lated, ''It may be a long way to Tip perary, but it's longer from here to Hartford" for the certificate was a return of birth in this town in April. 1900.

PRICES OF PAPER ADVANCE.
Norway Hard Hit by Lack of Blue
 Dye-stuff From Germany.

Christiania, Norway, Jan. 14.- Prices on all sorts of paper in Nor way have gone up thirty to forty per cent. and are still on the increase Some sorts can not be manufactured by the Norwegian paper mills, as, for instance, blue paper for want of blue Gye-stuff, which usually is supplied by Germany.
 The central valleys in Norway are great lumber districts, much like Northern Minnesota. The principal trees are pine and evergreen and, thanks to the numerous cellulose and paper mills, which have been built, in the last fifteen or twenty years, the value of the woods has increased con- siderably. So many foreign factories had to stop because of the war prices on the products from the Norwegian plants have gone upon cellulose from $40 a ton before the war to $70 a ton

Mr. Norton, accompanied by Allan McFarlane, says he was driving at a moderate pace, when without any warning, a Rec touring car struck the rear of his machine at the corner Of Trumbull street and turned his car completely about. The spokes of his rear wheel were broken. Mr. Norton and the driver of the other machine then indu1ged in a little converse ton, each disclaiming any responsibility for the accident.

Why Not Grape Juice Plant?

A number of towns in the u
zarks are figuring on a large &C
reage of grapes and a grape juice
plant. A few hundred acres OF
grapes in the vicinity OF Mans
field would be a paying invest
ment and make a fine industry
for our own and country. Grapes
are a sure crop in the Ozarks,
and this is an industry that
should be boosted. Grape juice
is a popular drink and we under
stand that a profit of $4,000 per
year per acre can be made. Be:
sides, it would furnish labor for
our people. The opportunity IS
here. Are we going to take ad-
vantage of it2
