WoMEN'S CHORUS SINGS
 BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE
Concert Was Pleasing Climax to Sea
 son of Music Association.

A very pleasing climax to the sea- l son of the Norwich Music association ! was enjoyed Monday evening when the programme was furnished mainly by the Women'S chorus The concert was
 given in Slater hall before large au- 1ience whose appreciation was evi- denced by the generous applause. As- sisting the chorus were Miss Olive Hunt, well known in Norwich for her rare ability as pianist and Miss Rae
 Kilner, of Boston. who rendered de- lightfui music on the harp.
 The programme was particularly we'll arranged for the season, em-
 bodying Ss it did rhe idea of spring
 and natures awakening in many of
 the selections.
 The chorus showed the great pro- gress made under thS able instruction and direction of Charles D. Geer dur
 ing the year of it's existence. The
 volume and quality of tone was ex- ce1lent and well balanced and the en- semble singing was resultingly pleas ing. The effective and brilliant accompainying by Miss Louise Fuller. was felt throughout the programme and had no small share in its success.
 The songs in higher vein. Gypsy Daisies and Come Down. Laughing Streamlet, and With Pipe and Song, were delightfully."- rendered. while Ma ture's Resurrection, with piano and harp accompaniment, was alive with the spirit of spring.
 Gypsy Life and the Spinning chorus were serious compositions and sung with the dramatic quality demanded by them.
 Not the least attractive was the Serenade by Nevin- Harris, a charm ing bit of melody. sung with true feeling.
 Miss Hunts playing was character ized by a wonderful c1earness of tone and brilliancy of execution. She showed a freshness and spontaneity that was delightful. Wrozart's Son ata-opus B, by Schytte was brilii- ant performance. The ascending cresendos were remarkably fine and the entire movement was executed with rare finish.
 Miss Kilmer gave as her first se- lection Thomas Autumn. lovely, l ripping theme particularly adopted to the harp and for her second group the | deliciousiy springlike Chanson de Mai and the sweet and stately Ma l zourlxa by Schneider. |
 For encores she played an accom- | paniment to her Iow-toned hum | back to Ole Virginia. Miss Kilmer's | playing while very siSilful, technically | was simple and tender. She dis played unusual breadth of tone. shad | Ing into most delicate arpeggio pas-t sages and sweeping into depth and sweetness most charming to hear
 The programme concluded with the singing by all of the Star Spangled Banner. The entire performance was witness both to the work and jealous sffort on the part of the chorus and he untiring and ski1fuI direction of he leader. fl

As preparedness Is the swatcfword 1 in all fire departments at this time of l national trouble and in view of the
 age of the horses and the condition of
 most of the horse drawn apparatus in the local department the board of fire commissioners feel that the necessary steps should be taken to entirely mo- torize the department.
 In their annual report to the com
 mon council the board which com
 prises George H. Loring. chairman, w
 F. Bailey and Edward Crooks, reconl- mended that an extra appropriation
 be placed in the estimates to cover the purchase of more motor apparatus including an automobile for Chief + l.. Stanton. and also that an extra ap- propriation for hose be included as 1t will be necessary to have at least one thousand feet.
 The fire commissioners report fol- lows:
 Twenty one meetings have been held mess, and the committee have been able to keep within the amount ap- propriated for the department not withstanding the great increase in the price of all supplies used in the de- partment. The price of forage and fuel. the large items of expense in this department have advanced to very high figures.
 The department have eight horses. Four of them are seventeen years old and the youngest thirteen years old. IL I will be seen that the horses are all too old to stand the strain of fire service, and new horses must be purchased or buy motor apparatus which would be far more efficient and economical. All the horse drawn apparatus is in need of quite extensive repairs and some is entirely out of date, particularly the aerial truck. Many repairs stre needed on the stations that have been neglected for the want of sufficient ap- to meet the expense.

If any arrangements were made rela-
 tive to the doctors coming there it
 was made through his wife. Mir. Sul-
 livan testified that transient board
 CTS were kept at the house and that some of the town charges were kept
 there. He also said that the doctor
 had. no trained nurse while sick but
 that his wife (Mrs. Sullivan) and
 Sullivan said he did not know whether the doctor was advised to go to the Backus hospital for treatment or at least he could not remember of it.
 And Mir. Sullivan said he had never seen the doctor take any medicine in the form of tablets, powders while he was there or he had never seen him under the influence of liquor.
 The next witness called by Lawyer Shields was Fitch Do1beare, who is a conducts an automobile livery busi- ness. He told of taking MT. Sulli- van and c. W. Comstock to the Sui- Iiyan house where Dr. Johnson was January and of his being witness.
 Elijah Abel, whose occupation is a farmer and blacksmith and who is selectman and health officer of the Abel said that he knew Dr. Johnson intimately for & long time and that that he had never had any trouble with the doctor. The witness told Of an attempt AlaQe Dy the 0OC(oF HI l54l to commit suicide and how he (the witness} tied the doctors arms back with a halter rope and ho1dback.
 MT. Abel said that the doctor car ried some kind of tablets in his vest pocket which he took constantly and which made him sleepy. MT. Abel aI- SO related an. incident when the doc tor got thrown in an accident near Capron's. Testtnlony brought cut by the witness revealed the fact that ehe doctor kept a diary every day which would tell of every transaction made except when he was sick. Mir. Abel said that at the time Dr. Johnson at suicide he was not stupid or drunk but was desperate.
 Charles A. Johnson, cousin of the deceased, who now lives in Colchester and is a farmer was the next witness. Mir. Johnson was born in Bozrah and lived there about six years ago. And while in Bozrah he lived one half mile below the old Johnston

M0TORIzATI0N 0F FIRE DEPARTMENT
Recommendation Made by Fire Commissioners in Annual Report to Common Comcl-Norwich Has Smallest Fire Loss Per Capita of Any City in the State.

Tn view of the age of all horses and the condition of most of the horse drawn apparatus it appears to the committee that the necessary steps should be taken to entirely notorize the department.
 A petition from the members of the department has been received and re- ferred for an increase in their pay. This can only be done bp sufficient ad- ditional appropriat tion to cover the in prfation to cover maintenance as be- fore stated. owing to the necessary re- pairs that must be made and the in creased cost of all material and sup plies.
 Your committee were able, by the strictest economy to purchase an au- tomobile for the deputy chief which has proven very wise investment.
 The city has been free from any large fires and show the smallest fire loss per capita of any city in the state. This can be attributed to the motor apparatus and the strict inspection of the mercantile risks.
 The annual report Of Chief of the department as of July 1st. will give a detailed account of fires. losses. etc.
 As preparedness is the watchword in all fire departments at this time of national trouble, and from the needs of the department enumerated above your committee recommends that an extra appropriation be placed in the estimates to cover the purchase of more motor apparatus including an au- tornobiie for the chief. Also that an extra appropriation for hose be in- cluded as 1t will be necessary to have at least 1000 feet.
 The committee feel that with the trou bIous times ahead that the fire department should have a very fiber al appropriation and request the f1- nance committee to give the matter their careful consideration.

OLDS MOTOR WORKS WILL
IMPROVE ATHLETIC FIELD

LANSING, Mich, April 21.-The
Olds motor works has announced the
commencement of extensive improve
ments to the forty-acre plot of
ground surrounding its large plant, in
connection with which the employees
welfare work of the company will be
developed along outdoor recreational
lines.
Plans call for the parking Of the
large tract of land, the aim being TO
secure beautiful horticultural effect
thru the medium of fine lawns flower
beds and shrubbery. A fine grove of
trees at the western end of the tract
will be improved and, with the addi-
ton of rustic benches, tables and
summer houses, converted into picnic
grounds for employees.
Other welfare features will include
a baseball diamond. with grand
stands, and tennis courts. The base
ball diamond Will be located in the
middle of the half-mile testing track,
where every finished Oldsmobile is
put thru extra severe operating tests
before being finally passed for ship
ment to dealers.
This testing track is very ingeni-
ously arranged, with plenty of
bumps for testing springs and hill
test at one side. An invariab BILE rule
at the factory is that each OldsmobiIe
must be proven right In every detail
before delivery, and no expense is
spared In making certain on that
point
