THE NORFOLK CONCERTS
tContinued from First Page.)

for two sopranos, with Madam Mabel Garrison. At this concert Efrem Zim balist will make his debut as u conduc tor by leading the orchestra in a series of Creole songs which he has arranged and orchestrated for the use of his wife Madam Gluck, and the concert will close with the singing of America" by the chorus and orchestra.
 Notwithstanding the brilliant array of soloists, the presence of an orchestra made up of the finest players in Amerl- ca, the greatest star will be the Litch field Cou lty Choral union, trained for these concerts by Arthur Mees. The most beautiful solo voices, the most expert instrumental players can never hope to reach the heights and hold the heart like the mighty effects of light and shade, of imposing majesty and of rock-ribbed strength which are pro. duced by our chorus. The best soloists can be secured with money. but a chorns like that of the union born and reared on the soil of our own Litchfield county, is the product of the free will of its participants Citizen.

PATRIOTIC SUFFRAGISTS.

There never was a time when Suffra. gists were so active in Connecticut as they are at present. In addition to keeping up the work for votes for women every Suffragist has taken on some kind or other of work of a patri. otic nature. The most exacting of the war service work at the present mo nent is the field and lot work; for planting must be done if any crops are to be gathered. Many of the women are ex- 1 tending their own garden lots-especi. ally in the smaller towns and villages Others are cooperating in work on land that has been provided either by the county leagues, or bS patriotic suffra gists. Other women are contributing towards the expenses of children's gar dens and towards the salaries of trained supervisors.
 While the garden work is occupying most attention, Red Cross work is not being neglected; for there is a tremen. dous call on America just now for Red Cross supplies for the Allies. Suffrage Headquarters in Hartford-The Head quarter of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, is filled every day with women busy on Red Gross work and the whir of half dozen sewing machines almost drowns the click of an equal number of typewriters or the louder noise of the multigraph and folding machines which seem to be per petually at work overhead. Many of the women who work at Headqua rters come in from the surrounding towns; although of course the majority of them are Hartford women.

CONNECTICUT FORBIDS TRES.
 PASSING.

For many years Connecticut has been among those states in the country that have not by law attempted to ore. vent the unnecessary waste of life due to trespassing upon railway right of way.
 The Connecticut Legislature has recently passed, however, and Governor Holeomb has just signed, bill that should do much to eliminate the evil in the state. The bill is an amendment to Chapter 202 of the public acts of 1905, and reads as follows:
 l "Egery person who shall, without right, be upon or attach himself to any engine or car upon the track of any rail- road, or occupy or be upon any part of the platform O. groun,i of s:..y stati0a or yard of any railroad. 0r be ppo,. the track or right of way of any raii. pad, or ride, drive or lead any beast on such track shall be fined not more than fifty dollars, or imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both. Every station agent of any such company, who shall have information of a violation of any provision of this section, shall forthwith notify grand juror or other informing officer of the town in which such offence shall have been committed"
 Over 5000 persons in the United States are needlessly killed each year while using the railway right of way as public highway. The New Haven Road has carried on an active campaign to reduce accidents of this kind on its property. It has long been recognized by experts. however, that no material Jesse ming of the evil can be obtained until stringent laws are passed and strictly enforced.
 The act of the Legislature and Cover nor of Connecticut is an important step forward in the suppression of the tres passing evil in Connecticut.

While the current returns of the in. ternal revenue bureau of the treasury make it appear that the income from the manufacture of beer and liquors has steadily increased, there can he no question that the temperance and total abstinence campaigns of the past few years have brought about marked change in American life. It is no longer fashionable to serve wines and liquors in the lavish way which ob- taincd in former years.

make this very sociable car.

for Paige engineers to make an art of familiar

The Paige superheated manifold acts as dry

of vapor into highly combustible gasoline

from the gas and enables al Of the fuel to
be utilized without waste.
In these days Of notoriously low test gasoline the

MYSTERY JOB OFFER
TO ELECTRICAL MEN
Stranger Purports to Represent
Concern to Manufacture
New Explosive

There Is a spirit Cf unrest among many
or the electrical workers at City Hall be-
cause or an offer made them OF more than
400 per cent increase in wages.
The offer was made by a mysterious
stranger, who 1t is said was agent for a
concern which is engaged In making a new
electrical explosive.
The strangers offer revived n story cur
rent several weeks ago when il was rumored
that the Westinghouse Company was hunt
ing for men to work on a new explosive.
But the company subsequently denied il
desired men for such a purpose.
The man had a list OF the city's electrical
workers and sent for them at lunch time,
To all he explained that they would receive
$500 month If they submitted to the con-
ditions governing the work. Each man was
Informed that he would be obliged to submit
TO community isolation. Pe would not be
able to see relatives or friends for a year
but would be permitted to communicate by
mail
All mall would have to be subjected 10 n
censor. 1t was pointed out as every pre-
caution would have TO be taken TO prevent
any OF the secrets of the new explosive
from becoming public.
Many of the city employees are giving
the subject serious consideration.
