FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING
Norwich Industrial and Improvement Corporation Reflects
Drectors-Thermos Contract Discussed

would seem to me advisable to attempt
another sale of lots as soon as the
weather permits, and this matter will
be brought to the attention of the di-
rectors at an early date.
The secretary's report shows that
the American Thermos Bottle company
has paid in wages to employees, not in
GLIDING officials of the company, the
sum Of $3.50. 324.66 and has also paid
on account Of advertising the sum of
$94, 903.61.
With a fair return in the future
from sales of real estate, the cor
poration should be in a position to
pay a dividend to the stockholders.
The following directors were reflect
ed for the succeeding year:
jeremiah ]. Desmond, Gilbert L.
Hewitt, William F. Hill, Martin z.
Jensen, Walter w. Lang, Shepard b.
Palmer, James B. Shannon, Leonard o.
Smith and William B. Young.
William H. Allen and c. Edward
Smith were appointed tellers by the
chair.
In addition to rendering reports and
electing directors for the succeeding
year, the possibility of modifying the
contract with the American Thermos
Bottle company was considered and
deferred.
The change in the original contract
between the American Thermos Bottle
company and the Norwich Industrial
Improvement corporation which was
discussed is to modify the contract so
as to permit the payroll account in
excess of $4,000 to be applied to the
| advertising account, which does not
grow as rapidly as the payroll account
Frederic w. Cary, secretary of the
American Thermos Bottle company
who was present as a stockholder, was
invited to answer questions relative to
the contract and the business of the
| American Thermos Bottle company
| Mr.. Cary stated that the Thermos
company did not request any modi-
| fication of the contract, inasmuch as
| the company could foresee no difficulty

time. if the Norwich Industrial I'm

Mr. Cary stated that the entire fac.

PRIVATES OFF FOR
MEXICAN BORDER.
Men From Island Forts Sent to Fort
Houston.

Ten privates of the hospital corps
of the United States army left New
London Saturday afternoon for the
Mexican border. Their specific desti-
nation was Fort Sam Houston, Texas
Five of the men were from Fort H. G.
Wright Fishers Island and five from
Fort Terry, Plum Island. They were
in. charge of Maj. James L. Bevans,
medical surgeon at Fort Wright.
The men made ready early in the
morning to leave for the Mexican Dor
der and they went to New London on a
morning transport, having two or
three hours there before leaving for
Texas. They took the II: 80 train for
New York.
They all seemed to welcome the
order to go to Mexico with the pros
pect of a little excitement to relieve
the humdrum Of the ordinary every
day soldier life. The men in the COM
panies at the island forts seemed to
envy the hospital corps in being called
SO close to real excitement.
Two weeks ago four men of the
hospital corps in charge of Captain
Jones left for Fort Houston and last
week Captin Jones' mount was sent
him by express.
There is feeling at the island forts
that the troops now in Mexico will
be Withdrawn. Therefore an order
there. 1t would be welcome no doubt

FIFTY CENT GASOLINE
THIS COMING SEASON.
Big Problem Confronting Auto Owners
Price of Gas Steadily Rising.

By far the greatest problem that
has confronted the automobile own
er since the advent of the motor We
hicle is the present soaring prices Of
gasoline. For the past six months the
price of gasoline has been advancing
at about one cent a gallon. With
gasoline now 20 cents a gallon in the
wholesale markets, and with reports
from the oil companies and others in
dicating further rises, the 100000 au-
tomobile owners in the United States
have reason to be thoughtful over the
cost of operating their cars this sum-
mer.
At present gasoline is selling for
from 26 to 2S cents a gallon to the
consumer in New York city, and the
garage men think the advance expect
ed within the next few days will bring
the retail mark to 30 cents. BY sum-
mer it. may cost the car owner 81 for
fuel for his 100 mile run on a Sun
day-gasoline, 1t is predicted, will then
be 40 cents a gallon. In April, 1915.
| the wholesale price of gasoline aver
aged IA cents a gallon, while at the
| beginning of the present month it had
advanced to 20 cents. Retail prices
range from three to five cents a gall
| Ion over those quoted by the whole
salers.
An analysis of the gasoline situa-
ton and review of the efforts made
| at producing a fuel that can be SUBJ
stituted for this product of petroleum
| in the operation of motor vehicles have
been prepared by the Horseless Age.
That the question of obtaining an
adequate supply of fuel at a reason
| able price is a matter which is re-
ceiving the serious attention of the
motorist-the man who pays the piper
| but, in this case, does not call the tune
| is unquestioned," says this well
| known authority. ct should be added
! that some of the best brains in the
/ country are busily engaged in trying
| to solve the problem presented by this
ever rapidly increasing number of au-
| tOmobilists in the United States and
| the growing difficulty, as line prices
| of furnishing fuel to run them.
| Before considering the possibilities
| of producing fuels other than the gaso-
| line of commerce, a brief outline OF
! the actual present position of gasoline
| and allied industries is of interest, for
| the time being, at any rate-2bsolute-
/ ly dependent on this fuel.
| Although there are no exact figures
| showing actual gasoline consumption
an indication of the quantity avail
| able for domestic use may be obtained
| by taking the total production and de-
| Quoting the exports. and on this basis
| the following calculations, which are
based on official figures, will help the
| gasoline user to realize just where he
| stands. The quantities are given in
| barrels of AZ gallons.

FAMOUS STORY TELLER
ADDRESSES SCHOOL CHILDREN
Miss Bessie l., Taft of Hartford Tells
Them of the Band of Mercy.

Miss Bessie L. Taft Of Hartford,
known among school children in hun
dreds of cities in New England, ad-
dressed the children of the local
schools Monday. A bright clever
young woman, gifted and talented, she
made decidedly favorable impress
sion on the High street school Mon
day morning and in the Broadway
school Monday afternoon. Coming to
this city under the auspices Of the
Connecticut Humane society, Miss
Taft is interesting the children in
forming Bands of Mercy. The object
is to interest children in helpfulness
and kindness to people, animals and
birds. The past three years Miss Taft
has spoken in 3,279 school rooms be-
fore over $1,000 children. Miss Taft
has developed to a science the art of
interesting children in what she has
to say. She presents her talks in a
fascinating manner that makes her
both pleasurable and profitable.
Miss Taft proved herself a master
at~the art of story telling. She loves
children and is heart and soul in the
work of teaching them kindness to
.animals-surely a noble work in which
all school children should be deeply
interested. 1t is safe to say that be-
cause of Miss Taft's visit to Norwich
schools the children here will be real
missionaries in enlisting others in this
much needed work. They will not
soon forget the story teller or the
story she has to tell. They are all
eagerly looking forward to the time
when she may come again.
