HALLVILLE VIEWERS ..-
 -..-N DEMAND AN INCREASE.
Forty two Leave Looms Because Com
 pany Refuses to Grant 10 Per Cent

Forty-two weavers employed at Hall Brothers mill in Hallville are out on strike because of the companys re- fusal to grant them a 10 per cent. i'm crease. The weavers ask for the in crease as they claim. a 10 per cent. raise was recently given all operatives in the mill with the exception of the weavers. When the weavers learned their way a delegation of four waited on officials of the company and made a demand that they be given a 10 per cent. raise. Their demand met with a fiat denial, as the company officials id that they could not possibly grant the increase and that the weavers are we'll enough paid. The delegation then informed the officials that they had voted to go out if the demand was not granted, and they were told to go ahead. They did. and are still out. The committee of four comprised Nor ris Flynn, William Lemphere, Charles Baral and John HaZler.
 On Thursday one of the committee said that six or seven weeks ago the company gave each weaver one loom instead of two and granted an in, crease so that they lost nothing by the change. The weavers are now working piecework and average SIS 8 week for the single loom, this being larger pay than they were earning on two looms previously.
 It was said on Thursday that there are now only four weavers at work in the mill

The local Boy Scout organization las secured the permission of Presi- dent Arthur L. Peale of the Norwich Council Boy Scouts and the permis- sion of the Liberty Loan committee to hold a Scout parade here on Sat urday afternoon.

SAGE N TEA DARKENS
 HAIR ID ANY SHADE
DON'T, STAY GRAYI HERE'S A SIMPLE RECIPE THAT ANYBODY
 CAN APPLY WITH A HAIR BRUSH

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray haid to its natural color dates back to grandmothers s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in SredientS, which can be depended up on to- restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a. sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage andx Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

CHILDREN CALM WHILE
 SCHOOL BUILDING BURNS
Six Hundred Marched Out to Safety
 in Three Minutes.

The value of the public school fire drill was forcefully demonstrated on Thursday morning when 500 children of the Winthrop school in New Lon don marched out safely from the building in perfect order three min rtes from the sound of the fire gong.
 The calmness of Mrs. Marion R. s. I.illie. the acting principal. and of the teachers, served to keep down the fears of the children. and. not until the very last child was outside the building. did a single teacher leave.
 There were some frantic mothers was in the Winthrop school and many Of them dashed to the building. but their fears were quickly allayed when they discovered their children in the open air.
 Books were left opened on the desks and numerous articles left in haste as the exodus occurred, but every thing was recovered after/the fire was out.
 The fire was caused, according to the janitor. F. $. Lyle, by pot of paint. which was in use by wcrkmen engaged in repairing the cupola. Hot .ar was being used and the paint took fire.
 Being unable to extinsuish the blaze, the workman ran downstairs and gave the alarm and Mrs. Lillie, the acting principal. instructed the teachers to immediately get the chill dren outside. The fire signal was given and the pupils formed in line and with the teachers guiding them and preventing them from crowding, the children marched out. and none too quickly, either, for a shower Of broken glass was falling from the roof through the rotunda to the main floor. The pupils were sent out the west doorway and thus avoided the space underneath this cupola, other wise they would have been struck.
 The children were out of the build ing before the city alarm was sound ed from box 16.- The damage is esti- mated at from $500 to s700.
