raFn"MES. ousIy IlI-Chauffeur and Car Missing. Under a temperature that climbed to l 106 in the sun, many workmen en- gagged on outdoor occupations quit
 work during Tuesday-discretion that l cannot be otherwise described than ! good judgment.
 Other men who did not quit willingly | were forced to quit under Old SoPs in | tensive heat drive-easily the worst | experienced since the summer of 1911. The heat wave withered lawns and continued it's destructive effect upon
 gardens, hunianity in general just melting away under the stress of the l exhausting temperature. The fat wom- | en only rejoiced in contemplation of | reduction of avoirdupois and the pros | pect of regaining their sylph-l1 pro- ] portions of halcyon days. But 1t may l get cooler, the Weather Man notW1th- It may be mentioned that the fat man had his troubles, too More ex- pressive perhaps. in his language de scriptive of his feelings under the stress of the. hot wave than were the women, he wasn't being shown any greater consideration. He just stewed | and oozed away in rivulets of perspira- tion.
 | At the reliable recording thermome 1 ter at Woodward's store Tuesday
 morning at 10 o'clock the temperature
 was registering 97 degrees, degrees n1Sner LHdH IQe SiiOWlIiS HldOO -IOlldoy | at the same hour.
 'I am just standing here and watch l ing myself melt and run off down the | gutter" said one man who weighs fully | enough to be put on short rations. "Of course, I like summer, and all | of that but I have never said that ! thought 1 would entoy-well, you know what they call the hot place! By the | way. see the papers are telling this
 morning about a prospective coal | shortage in New England next winter. i Can you beat it?"
 | At Goodyear, outdoor laborers stop ped work during Tuesday morning and in some instances masons and carpen- ters who are engaged in construction work about town stopped work The painters were another group that found
 the heat practically intolerable. Always considerate of it's employees,
 the Southern New England Telephone
 company was prompt Tuesday to issue
 instructions to chief operators to pro-
 vide for relief operators that the rog-
 ular forces nnieht be relieved from the
 strain of working their regular shifts
 under trying conditions.
 Edward CloUtier, employed by Will
 liam w Wheatley. was the first to suf-
 fer from heat prostration. His care
 was not a serious one and it is ex-
 pected that he will have regained his
 normal condition within a day or two.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-08-01

Up from the streets and from the intolerably hot stores and offices and factories went many prayers Tues day for relief from the heat that has been stifling the people of the city for the past 4S hours.
 Even the oldest citizen has been put to the test to remember any period that would over tch it for heat and those of shorter memory say it is the worst ever-
 There were dozens of thermometers that were showing anywhere from 101 to 1o5 degrees about town Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock, which was as hot an hour any of the after noon. In the shade at this hour the general average of instruments in the business section was 9S degrees.
 It was hot that many laborers stopped work at the noon .nour. At one of the mills the workers in one department were told at o'clock to stop work for the day. The heat killed business for most of the stores but humanity gathered like swarms of flies at the soda fountains.
 Scores and scores of people of the city slept last night in swings, on lawns, on porches and other open places affording some relief from the unrelenting pressure of the hot wave There was very little breeze, SO the suffering of the people was more acute than is usually the case during torrid periods.
 Swimming pools about town were crowded with young men during Tues day afternoon and evening, some re- maining in or about the pools for hours.
 Very few reports came in however of persons seriously affected by the pie fainting and temporarily aband- oning their work, but no case of grave nature.
 The farmers said it was a fine day which helps. some.
 Lake Swimming Prohibited.
 No more swimming in Roseland lake. This seems to be about the nature Of an edict that was impending Tues day, when Chairman G. Harold Gill patrick, of the water commissioners of this city, was giving consideration to the protests against using the pretty body of water, over in Woodstock, for swimming purposes.
 The lake is a part of the city res ervoir system. It is believed, there fore, that state laws provide adequate the lake and action on the matter may be expected in the very near future Eastford- Phoenixville Red Cross Aux
 Hilary.
 An auxiliary of Putnam chapter of the Red Cross, to be known as the Eastford auxiliary, is being formed in Eastford and Phoenixville. The ap-
  work in the places mentioned has been received by the local chapter and it is said that there is no doubt that the application will be favora bly, acted upon. The new auxiliary will have as it's special line of work the making of comfort bags and comfort pillows EandkerchiefS and shirts. The officers of the Eastford auxiliary are: Chairman, Mrs. Jennie B. Ia tenn; treasurer. Lillian VI. Keith; sec retary, Mrs. Lida Ives Glen. The membership of the Putnam 1212 but it is believed this number has | been increased. | From February 22 to July Is the chapter here received from member | ships, donations, etc, s192S.

 Tire Town Tavern. Tot Town Tavern is the name of an inviting hostelry at Winchendon. and that fact has suggested to the mind of a local man just returned from motor trip through that section that Tire Town Tavern wouldn't be half bad for a name of a hotel in this town, which is fast becoming one of the most inn po-tant tire fabric manufa curing cen ters in the United States. and which, in course of time and through the standardization of efforts, may also have it's rubber works.

Less Unemployment Likely
In America in Near Future
As Result of the Great War

At present, and in all probability in
the near future, according to a re-
port of a medical committee on social
assurances reported in the American
Medical Journal, this country will have
less and less unemployment, and there
is no question that with the war and
with the destruction Of life and peo-
pies in Europe, in the very countries
from which, in recent years, this coun-
try has drawn its vigorous unskilled la
Dor, the immigration which has come
to these shores so abundantly will enor-
mously diminish, and there will be
dearth of labor and rise in wages.
At present, however, there is no
question that even in good times the
wage earners of this country are I'M
employed for from one-ffth to one
fourth to Is per cent-of the work
ing days of the year. Those who are
dependent on their daily wages have
thus to consider a further diminution
of what is apparently their actual wage.
All investigations on the amount OF
wages have shown that about four
fifths of the men and nineteen-twenti-
eths of the women earn less than $500
a year to support their families, and
this amount of wage is not able, even
in this country, to support those fam
lilies on fair standar d of living. This
is one cause Of the enormous mass
of woman and child labor.
