trv anthoritative1v stated.

i try authoritative1y stated. | Nothing else will serve the purpose Labor must be asked to surrender l temporarily, as a body. many of it's 1 valued positions, and individually to make great sacrifices. Manufacturers 1 concessions to labor, to introduce radi- | cal changes in their plants and bus l mess, and to take large financial
 risks. Only an authoritative demand,
 setting forth on behalf of the govern
 ment, specific needs and requirements
 can bring about such sacrifices of per | sonal interest. No generalties, or un- | authorized requests, or private pro | phecies of such needs will produce any l effect
 The absolute time limitation above stated, makes 1t imperative that these necessary adjustments in industry be begun at once, if Connecticut's pro- duction of munitions is to reach any thing like it's maximum capacity in the | next twelve months. It will be sufficiently difficult, per haps impossible, to reach that maxi
 mum, even under the most favorable ton without giving a chance for the necessary premi1inary preparation based on a definite demand, Is utter ly hopeless. It cannot be done No powers over industry, however ex- treme, can substantially reduce this inevitable time factor in elaborate pro- duction.
 This proposition stands at the open ing of nearly all the work of this council. So far as concerns the main contribution which Connecticut can make to the war, namely, metals, pro- duction, Gas we'll as other less irn- portant products), by far the greater part of the work of the council de bends, at it's outset, for it's efficiency, on knowing and being able to state authoritatively, Cor cause to be stat ed through regular channe1s), to its producing interests:
 (a) What the government wants in detail;
 Cb) What quantities it wants at least to the extent of considerable first orders;"
 Co When the articles are wanted;
 (d) What order of priority is desir- ed.
 It is therefore:
 Resolved: That this council. in or der to meet the essential needs above set forth. respectfully and very UT gently advocates the establishment as soon as possible, of a National Prf- ority Board, with full power to de- terrnine and take final actiore> for the federal government on all questions of priorities in the production and the transportation required by the gov war, and, so far as possible. the cor responding priorities of labor require ments involved in such production; and further;
 Resolved: That a copy of these res o1utions be forwarded to the president of the United States, the chairman of the Council of National Defense and sion of the Council of National De- fense.

THE THAMES RIVER
 BRIDGE MUST WAIT
High Cost of Material Makes It Inn
 possible to Carry Out Profit.

In connection with the Associated Press despatch stating that work of converting the Thames river bridge into a highway bridge, because of the high cost of material, State Highway Commissioner Charles Bennett de- clared that it would be impossible to carry out the project at present with the amount appropriated by the Ieg- isIature. He asserted that under the present conditions it is practically i'm possible to get material necessary for the work a reasonable prices and that the prices were advancing continually. Last week there was an advance of about $30,000 in the price of mater ia1 which would be needed and un- doubtedly it is more this week.
 He was asked if a sufficient sum to carry out the project could not be secured from the board of control, if the appropriation was not sufficient and he replied that he did not know whether the board has any money which might be applied to the pur- pose. if it had the power.
 He declared that it would be possi- b1e to begin work on the approaches and do as much preliminary work as the appropriation would permit, but he did not think that a delay in car rying out the plan would have any serious effect on the final success of the project.

DON'T LET WIFE
DIE OF LOCKJAW
Warn Her Against Cutting Corns Be
cause They Can Be Lifted
Out

Women wear high heels which buckle
up their toes and they suffer terribly
from corns. Women then proceed to
trim these pests, seeking relief, but they
hardly realize the terrible danger from
infection, says Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with the
fingers if you will get from any drug
store a quarter of an ounce of a drug
called freezone. This is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the tender, ach-
ing corn. The soreness is relieved at
once, and soon the entire corn, root and
all, lifts out without pain.
This is sticky substance which dries
in moment. 1t just shrivels up the
corn, without infaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut
this out and pin on your wife's dresser.

!. Mother Made, Quick
Acting Cough Syrup
. Should be Kept Handy In Every
Home--EasiIy Prepared and
Costs Little.
Observation-Disclosures.

Mothers, you'll never know what you
are missing until you make up this in
expensive, quick acting cough syrup and
try it. Children love its pleasant taste
and nothing else will loosen a cough or
chest cold and heal the infamed or
swollen throat membranes with such
ease and promptness. It's equally as
good for grown-ups as for children.
This splendid cough syrup is made by
pouring 21a ounces of Pinex $50 cents
WORTH into pint bottle and filling the
bottle with plain graduated sugar
syrup. This gives you a full pint--a
family supply--of much better cough
remedy than you could buy ready made
for $250--a clear saving of 81
The moment it touches the infamed,
cold-congested membranes that line the
throat and air passages, the healing be-
gins, the phlegm loosens, soreness
leaves, cough spasms lessen and soon
disappear altogether, thus ending a
cough quicker than you ever thought
possible. Hoarseness and ordinary
coughs are conquered by it in "a hours
or less Excellent for bronchitis, whoop-
ing cough, spasmodic Group, bronchial
asthma or winter coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol and is famous
the world over for its quick healing
effect on the membranes.

that periods the public is demanding bet.
ter roads than ever before, and the short.
er hours of labor, and the increased rate
of wages now prevailing has greatly in.
creased the cost of maintenance. APP.
preciating these facts, some towns volun-
tarily raise more than the 20 per cent
tax required by law, but majority are
satisfied to raise the minimum legal rate,
This course, together with the wasteful
expenditure sometimes made of the
funds, has resulted in a slow but con-
slant depreciation of the roads that have
been subjected to this treatment. The
grand lists of some towns have increased
while those of others have decreased, but
n majority have remained practically
| stationary. The solution of the problem
would seem to be increased funds, and
some sort of supervision of their expen-
diture. Therefore, / would recommend
that the law requiring towns to raise
and expend not less than one-fifth of the
grandist as a town road tax be amend
ed so as to materially increase this tax
to adequately meet present conditions.
Furthermore, on account of the grow
ing Importance, and the increased use
of the town roads for automobiles.
recommend that portion of the main
tenance fund be set apart, and be made
available to towns, under proper restric-
tions for aiding them in maintaining
and improving their town roads. If, say,
$4,000 We're appropriated from the
maintenance fund for this purpose, it
would be another step in advance in our
state road policy, making available for
the town roads under state supervision
the same amount that was appropriated
for state roads i'll 1916, thus extending
the principle of state aid and state super
vision to practically all the roads in the
state.
81 am convinced that these changes, If
made, would go a long way towards de-
yeloping better spirit of cooperation
among all our taxpayers, and give us
steady yearly improvement of our en-
tire highway system to the advantage
alike of taxpayers and the tourist, max
ing farms and country homes accessible
by serviceable highways, aiding mate, /

pointing foreman to take charge; but
by treating the towns as partners, as
they really are, the commissioner has
been able to settle difficulties, and accom-
plish better results for the towns, as well
as for the state, than was possible when
the authority was divided. The coop
erative features of our state aid law
have helped to create a public sentiment
in favor of highway improvement, and a
strong local interest to back up the state
highway commissioner in his plans to a
degree that is quite gratifying to those
who have watched the interest grow for
the past twelve years, or more, and es-
pecially for the last two years.
Clowns have responded annually with
liberal appropriations, which is good evil
dence of the satisfaction the law is Civ
ing in improving their market and other
roads in which they are particularly in

the annual appropriation, first on roads
that are not important to the towns in

not by the town in which it is located.
