THREATNING FIRE
Broke Out in Upper Story OF New Trade
School Building Wednesday Evening
Was Quickly Extiaguished aud Little
Damage Done

A fire NV hich 1t Is thought started
from spontaneous combustion, In the
third story of Putnam's new twenty
thousand dollar ttade school between
seven and eight O'Clock Wednesday
evening, for few moments threatened
the fine new building. II was quickly
extinguished with chemicals and by
throwing out some cans containing
paints and oils.
There WIS no one In the building
when the lire sstarted. On table on
the third floor were number of cans
containing paints and oils. 1t was
these that somehow caught fire. A
man passing the building saw the
blaze and quickly pulled ia the fire
alarm from box rs This was followed
by a second alarm calling out the
whole department. The firemen were
quick To respond and experienced no
difficulty in extinguishing the blaze.
Chief Arnold said Thursday imorn-
ing that each can seemed TO be blazing
separately. He thought that If any
of the cans had burst and spread the
burning liquid about there might have
been serious consequences.

DANGEROUS
CROSSING
DayyiIle's Death Trap to be Abolished
Several People kilIed There

State Highway Commissioner c. j..
Bennett, Selectman J. A. Gilbert of
Killingly and engineers of the New
Haven road were Mt Dayville Thurs
day to inspect Webster's crossing with
a view, it is understood, of bringing
about its elimination.
This crossing, located on the trunk
line between Worcester and Norwich,
has been the scene of several accidents.
In December, 1915, three people were
killed there, and last month two more
narrowly escaped death when An auto
mooile was struck by a freight.
Although officials have made no de
finite announcements, il is understood
that two plans are under considera-
ton. The first is TO close the present
crossing a little TO the north. The other
is to close the present crossing and
turn the highway, making 1t run par
alIel to the railroad as far as Dayyiilf

We are so used to thinking of Lydia

we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one Of the best remedies for disorders

For stomach trouble Of women it is
especially adapted, as 1t works in COM

best tonic roots and herbs. 1t tones up
the digestive system, and increases the

TO caricature. The traditional rela-
ton was indeed so well established
in Tenniel's early days that when he
was first talked Of as possible
Punch artist he asked in amaze
ment: ado they think there is any
thing funny about me?"
The word cartoon" was originally
adopted in jest by Punch as
proper description Of its political
allegories, the reference being to the
cartoons designed TO decorate the
Palace of Westminster. 1t is now
come TO be the accepted word for all
drawings of that order, and since we
have stretched the word cartoon TO
that extent it is unnecessary TO
stretch the word caricature, which
has a quite distinct meaning Of its
own. Raemaekers's influence as a
cartoonist is beyond all controversy;
but he is no more a caricaturist than
was Tenniel or John Doyle.
