COMMERCE HEARING
Declares That Deliveries by Rail by
Way of Putnam and New London
and by Boat to New York Were
Prompt and Convenient.

Boston, Feb. 2S.-Robert L. Van
Dyke, traffic manager at Willimanttc,
Conn, for the American Thread COM
pany, testified at a hearing by the In
terstate Commerce Commission today
on the application of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad for
the protection of it's steamboat lines
that the freight service over the Nor
witch line to New York, was satisfac-
tory and for this reason, he said, he
was opposed to a separation.
Mr.. Van Dyke said that deliveries
by rail by way of Putnam and New
London, and by boat to New York
were prompt and convenient to the
company's warehouse in New York.
On cross examination Mr.. Van Dyke
said that he had made no effort to
learn the rate over the Central Yer
mont boat and rail line by way of New
London, although the distance was
shorter and the rates lower, according
to Attorney A. H. Elder of the COM

To Form Military Company.
A number of young men here are
endeavoring to obtain enough young
fellows from here so that a company
can be formed and drills can be held
in Plainfield instead of those now be-
longing to the militia having to go to
Danielson every week they would be
able to secure some hall here and car
~ on the necessary work. There are
five young fellows from here now in
the militia but it is necessary to have
eight and leader in order to carry
on the drills here. 1t is thought,
however, that before long there will
be enough members from here join
ing that they will have a company
here as a number of young fellows
have been speaking of joining the mil
itia and they praise it and claim it to
be an advantage for any young Amer

Comment on the Fare System.
The Copper Zone System, which the
Shore Line Electric Railway put into
effect last week, has caused a grea
deal of comment from people here
A number of people claim the system
| to be a good one and that paying t.
your destination at once is a grea
benefit. The majority of people, how
ever, who are accustomed to trave
between here and Norwich, often con
tend that the fare is rather unreas
enable and that instead of beTns
raised it should have been lowered.

knowing how to stop. when neces-
sary. is considered OF more import
ance than knowledge of how to start
tae engine. therefore, the use OF ser
vice and emergency brakes is taught
TO the new car owner early. Being
somewhat nervous and timid, the driY-
er may apply the brakes very hard
with the result that one or both rear
tires receive tread damage. Locking
the wheels will not. under all condi-
tionS, bring the ear to an immediate
stop; the momentum and weight will
frequently cause the rear wheels to
slide along for 4 considerable distance
and grind off the tread of the tires
in the same manner that street car
wheels receive flat spots. When
ground down to the fabric in this way
the tread should be given early atten-
ton to protect the fabric from decay
and weakening effect of moisture, and
to prevent dirt from working under
the rubber with probable separation OF
other tread portions. II is we'll to in
spect inside of case and repair any
threads or plies of fabric broken from
strain.
Sharp, quick turns or fast driving
at curves, usually causes rear wheels
to slide and skid sideways. This not
only wears off the tread rubber quick.
ly but, on account of the unusual
strain, is particularly harmful to the
fabric of the tire
1t is recommended that the service
(footl brakes be given occasional in.
spectiou. Any difference in adjust.
ment of brake drums can be discov-
cred by lacking up rear axle SO that
neither wheel rests on the ground;
then start engine and engage clutch
If, upon application of foot brakes, one
rear wheel revolves and the other
does not or, # one wheel revolves
faster than the other, the tire on the
one turning slower receives more
strain and, under the circumstances,
excessive wear to the tread rubber
may be expected.
The clutch plays an important part
in the efficiency of the car and in the
service of the tires. 1t is essential,
