MRS. HALL RECEIVES
 LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA Navy League Deeply Appreciates the Work of Norwich Ladies.

A letter received by Mrs. John D. Hall, president of the local branch of the National League for Woman's Ser vice, from the Philadelphia section of the Navy League of the United States, tells how the work of the Norwich ladies is appreciated. The leteer is as fellows:
 Sept. 8, 1917. Mrs. John D. Hall. 56 Otis Street,
 Norwich, Conn.
 My dear Mrs. Hall:-Your second splendid consignment of knitted gar nents from the National League for Woman's Service was received yester- day, Consisting of Is sets. without helmets; two service caps six helmets and one extra pair of wristlets). I can assure you that we deeply ap- preciate the work which is being done through you in Norwich, and the gar ments are being put into service every day here. We have equipped more boats since the controversy at Wash ington began than we had for some time before. I really think that the little row has stirred people up con siderably, and 1t has been more of a help than a intolerance to our work. Trusting that the interest there may continue, and again thanking you for your personal interest, I am.
 Yours very truly,
 M. A. DETWILER

MEN IN SERVICE
 MUST VOTE HOME
No Statute Provides for Special Vot-
 ing This Year.

If Connecticut citizens in the mili- tary or naval service of the United States, vote at the annual town cleo tion the first Monday in October, they must vote their town polling places. There is no statute now on the books providing for a special election by men in the military service, and such a special election could only be pro vided by converting the general as- sembly at an extra session and the passage of a law to that effect.
 There is probability of such action, however, according to a statement made by Governor Holcomb Saturday. The town elections are of minor i'm absence of those engaged in military duties will in any way effect the re- suits. At the office of the secretary of the state 1t is said that there has been no demand from any source for special authority to take vote among the military men at their respective stations
 One year ago, at the time of the state and national elections a simi lar situation arose when the state troops were on the Mexican border The legislature was convened in spe cial session, and authority provided to take the votes of the soldiers in the far southwest. Canvassers were de- election day arrived by far the greater part of the state troops had already returned to their homes. and it was necessary to take the vote of compar- atively few soldiers on the border.
 To call the legislature again for this purpose and take the votes of the soldiers at their stations would in volve an enormous expense to the state, and as there has been no call for such a measure and the town elec- ton in October are of comparatively little importance, there has been no movement to provide for a special vote of the soldiers.
 Many of the soldiers. indeed, will be on foreign soil at the time of the elections.
 However. if the war progresses un- til the Season of the state elections which occur the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November, 1918, political machinery will begin to move, it is said. These elections of state wide importance require every possi- b1e vote, and authorities say that measures will be taken to provide for the vote of the soldiers whether they be on native or foreign soil.
 The total of Connecticut men in the service is very large and is now be- ing constantly increased by the draft increments.

 Miss Lucas, as retiring president, made a most charming and graceful speech, expressing her appreciation of the co-operation of the members throughout her term of service. She spoke of the necessity and desire of moulding the work of the association to the needs O. the hour and to assist in the great work of relief iE the war.

PLASTIC CANDLE STICK
 A DANGEROUS NOVELTY
Flares Up as Flame Reaches End of Candle.

An investigation has been made by Chief Howard l.. Stanton of the stores of the city to ascertain if they have on sale a pyroxylin plastic candle stick which will flare up as the flame reach es the end of the candle. It Is this flare that causes the damage. The investigation is the result of the fol- lowing notification received from the National Fire Protection association. There suddenly appeared recently in most of the large department stores of New York city candle sticks made of pyroxylin plastic. They seem to of novelty makers using material fur nished by various concerns making pyroXylin plastic under such names as "Celluloid," Composition ''Ivortur." ory."
 The New York Board of Fire Un- derwriters and the New York fire de- pertinent, acting in cooperation, inn mediately communicated with the re- tail establishments, novelty factories and the manufacturers of pyroxylin plastic material, calling attention to the extraordinary hazard in using such inf1ammab1e material for candle sticks. Almost without exception, the extreme hazard was recognized by every one connected with the industry. Full CO., operation was given in the elimination of candle sticks made of this material from the counters of retail establish
 
 to cease further manufacture.
 Most of the candle sticks had a cup shaped metal cap placed in the top and used to receive the candle. It prevent the candle from igniting the pyroxyHn.. It was found, however, that such was not the case, for when the candles were lighted and allowed to burn. down. the candle stick ig- nited and burned with the customary violence. -
 In view of the rapidity with which this business developed in New York city, it is suggested that members in rartment stores and other shops to determine whether or not candle sticks made of pyroxylin- are being offered for sale. In the investigation of the subject in New York it appeared that number of manufacturers had or ders for delivery to places outside of New York city.
