GERMAN OFFICIALS LEAVE
AFTER VISITING PIER
Spent Day of inspection and Confer
ence at New London.

Paul G. Hilken, vice president of
the Eastern Forwarding Co., Captain
Hinsch Of the German steamship
NeCkar, and other officials assumed
to be identified with the Teutonic sub
Sc merchant marine, LEFT on Thurs
day evening, after spending the day
in conference with members of the
New London harbor commission and
in inspecting the state steamship ter
minal at East New Lon0on, where big
warehouses are being hurried along
an dother preparations made for the
reception of a mysterious craft.
No further details are VouchSafed
regarding developments lakely to oc-
cur in the immediate future
The buildings, enclosed with a cover
ing of corrugated iron, are nearly fin
ished and will probably be fully
ready for use Tuesday. The slip area
on the opposite side of the pier is
being deepened to an extent where it
will accommodate a steamship of the
| largest craft. The switch which will
be used in connecting the railroad
tracks from the pier to the Central
Vermont lines is in place.
These are the material evidences
that there is something doing" The
nature of the something is a matter
for conjecture. That It is a German
submarine, probably the Bremen, is
now generally accepted.
All sorts of stories regarding the
famous submarine are in circulation,
such as this from a New York
paper:
although crowds may line the
shore at New London. waiting for a
sight of the German submarine Brem-
en-, which is expected hourly, pas
Sengers about the Cunard liner
Alaunia, which locked yesterday, are
confident there will be no Bremen.
The Alaunia was instructed by the
British admiralty to anchor in the
Downs gefore setting out. On her
| second day there a German under
sea craft was towed into port by a
| British batteship and destroyer. 1t
appeared that the batt1eship and de-
stroyer had been in heavy action. AS
| the German submarine was much
larger than those previously cap
tured. passengers concluded it must

PAsTEBoARD SIGNS ARE
SCORING SUSPICION
Connecticut Drivers With Such Mark
ers Held Up in New York.

Connecticut autoists driving in New
IOrk state met with difficulties for
using pasteboard substitutes for the
regulation Connecticut markers issued
by the state automobile department at
the capitol. They found it hard to
make the New York traffic officers be
lieye that the state department dealt
in such low grade markers as paste
board and, thinking them to be
'iDhOny" affairs, self invented for the
occasion, the police stopped many
drivers and took them to headquar-
ters to explain. Reports of so many
such occurrences in New York reach
ed the automobile department of the
secretary of the state, Hartford, that
Chief Clerk Frederick J. Westine COM
municated with the New York police
commissioner, explaining that the en-
barge placed upon certain lines of
freight by the New Haven road had
caused a shortage of markers in the
state department, and that, as a tenn
pOrary eXpedient, it was necessary to
devise and issue the home made brand
Of marker, which the New York au-
thOritieS had refused to honor. Salts
fed with the explanation, the police
department of New York, from the
office of the third deputy commission
er, replied to the Connecticut depart
ment Friday as follows:
'"The police commissioner directs me
to acknowledge receipt of your COM
municatiOn addressed to him under
date of Aug. 9, enclosing copy of a
certificate which you state you are
temporarily issuing to automobile own
ers, and also stating that the drivers
of automobiles bearing the certificate
or temporary marker have been stop
ped by officers of this department
This matter has been taken up with
the office of the secretary of state in
this city where I am informed it has
been stated that concessions should be
made in this city to all automobiles
of Connecticut bearing these tempuor-
airy permits, until such time as your
regular official markers shall be is
sued. Members of this department
have accordingly been so Notified.
will you be kind enough to advise
me as soon as your regular official
markers are issued ?''

FIFTH QUARTERLY MILK
AND BUTTER SCORING
Two of the Six Samples Scored Above
Eighty-fiv Per cent.

Eighty-fVe Per cent.
The fifth quarterly milk and butter
scoring was held by the Dairy and
BaCteriology departments of the Con-
nectiCut Agricultural College, StOrrs,
on July the 28th. There were six sam
pies of milk and one sample of butter
scored. There were two new names
in this list. In many respects this
time of year is an unfaVOrable time to
hold an educational scoring. The tenn
perature is high and the samples must
be packed carefully with plenty of ice
and shipped by express so they will
arrive as soon as possible without
stop overs in various places 1t is
also a season when the farmer is very
busy particularly is this true this year
when summer work is so backward.
Probably for those rea sons the num-
Der Of samples scored was not as large
as usual.
There is another side to the ques-
ton, however, which needs emphasis,
and that is that these scorings are
held four times year when certain
conditions affecting the quality of
market milk are different. In July and
August we have the excessive heat
and humidity which make the careful
handling and cooling of the milk of
paramount Importance in obtaining a
| low bacteria count. Producers should
remember that it is not necessarily the
high score which they are after at
these sCorings, but to find out how
their milk is running during the diff
ferent seasons under different condi-
lions. From that standpoint the July
of August scoring is the most impOr-
tant one of the year since it tests the
producers ability to produce, handle
and ship milk under most adverse
conditions.
The fact that it is a little more
trouble to pack and ship butter under
summer conditions and have it arrive
in a firm condition, apparently reduced
the number OF butter entries. When it
is considered that even in very hot
weather butter is being successfully
shipped by parcel post in the first and
second zones, the packing of one
pound of butter for the educational
scoring should not brighten anyone.
The butter may be trif1e soft on ar
rival. but when placed in the refrig-
orator at once it hardens, and its
quality has been little if any impaired.
Those whose samples of milk scored
above IS and who wish their scores
published are:
Glenn e. Smith, Somers Creamery,
SOmers. Conn, 91.3.
Mrs. George W. Seward. Guilford,
| Conn, $50.
The next scoring will be held in
November and notices will be sent to
all on our mailing list. Others should
write to superintendent of Milk H f.
Judkins and Butter Scoring for infOr-
nation.

May Robson Entertains Big House

It was a large sized and apprecia-
tive audience that witnessed The Max
ing Over of Mrs. Matt, at the Davis
theatre on Friday evening. May Rob
son appeared in the leading role of the
comedy which was written by James
Forbes. The comedy merged into a
farce and then returned to the more
serious vein. Miss Robson was well
supported by the other members of the
company and the comedy was well
presented.
The comedy is in line with the ex-
ceIIent productions that the Davis
management secures from time to
time for Norwich theatregoers.

The town school committee an
nounced Friday night that it had been
decided not to open the schools until
Sept. 25, twenty days later than the
day at first set, Sept. 5. This order
came as the result of a conference
with City Health Officer Edward j.
Brophy, Town Health Officer George
Thompson and School Physician Louis
Cassidy in the Office of Superintendent
Edward J. Graham. Two of the mem
bers of the school committee were out
of town and unable to attend the con-
ference which was called to order at 5
O'Clock Friday afternoon by Judge T.
J. Kelly.
The infantiIe paralysis situation
was gone over carefully and then it
was decided that the best thing to do
at present would be postpone the open
ing of the fall term until the 10Th of
September unless further contin-
uance be demanded by exciting condi-
lions.
It was also decided that all teachers

be in the city on or before Sept. 3 and
that they register at the superintend-
ent's office on Sept. 5. All children
now out Of town who wish to return
to school on the 25th of next month
must be in the city on or before Sept.
5. Otherwise they will be subject to
the quarantine orders of the health
officer.
The school physician and nurse will
begin their duties Sept. 8, making Wis
its wherever they are needed. They
will work in conjunction with the
health officials. The opening of the
schools has been postponed as the
school committee does not deem it ad-
visable to open them on the first date
set, Sept. 5, in view of the danger from
infection from infantile paralysis
which would be very likely to occur if
children now out of town should re-
turn here and go to school at once.
There are no cases in Norwich at the
present time and the order is simply
precautionary measure.

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be
relieved, but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. 1t breaks
down the general health, weakens the
lung tissues, and leads to consump-
ton.
Hoods Sarcaparilla is so sue
cessful in the treatment of catarrh
that it is known as the best remedy
for this disease. 1t purif1es the

1t Started from the Inside.

After carefully looking over the barn
which caught fire at the aImshouse on
Thursday evening, Chief Howard L.
Stanton is of the opinion that the fire
did not start from q spark from a
passing locomotive. The indications
are that the fire was started from
within, as the 2X6 beams were -prac-
ticaIy burned off when the first line
of hose was played upon the blaze.
The section of the barn where it is
thought the fire started was used for
the storage of mattresses, etc.
