Caronne's Slumber Party

What the" stuttered the father of the family.
 My goodness gracious!" gasped his wife as they let themselves in with their latch key and gazed on what they had thought might be their own fair home.
 The pictures hung aslant to the WaiIs. The rugs were tumbled, two chairs stood upside down, the best jardinere lay smashed. with the earth scattered from the roots of it's strick- en palm; pile of folding cots blocked the hallway and several broken talk ing machine records filtered the floor.

Old Men Manage Office Boys.

How is it that you employ bald headed, white whiskered old men for office boys?" inquired a friend who was calling on the head of large in dustrial concern In one of the great cities the other day. The answer was that the man who was so active was not an office boy, but was in charge of the office boys. We find," said the proprietor, that such a man is prefer able to a mere head office boy promot- ed from the ranks of his fellows. who so often becomes a petty tyrant or merciless grafter and sometimes both. This old man is sympathetic, and yet the boys cannot bluff him. He inspires in the boys a deep interest in their work and has not an ambition to be the president of the United States or head of the house." In many of the great cities of the country old men are taking this place of head office boy The Christian Herald.

GOOD ATTENDANCE AT
NORWICH UNIVERSITY

The attendance at Norwich Univer-
sity is very good this year. There are
about so of the old men back, mostly
from the junior and sophomore class
es, and up TO 9 o'clock Thursday
morning, 81 new men had registered.
1t is expected that several more will
register before the end of the monU
The university authorities are very
much pleased with the showing, as
many of the upper classmen have won
their commissions or have enlisted in
the regular army, and it was expected
that a decided falling Off in attendance
would occur. But a very large per.
centage of the old men not entering
the service have returned, mostly with
the intention Of perfecting their edu-
cation, both academic and military,
and then trying once more for the SER
vice. No falling off in the reglstra-
tion Of new students is expected. The
war has seemed rather TO add new in
terest in such institutions as Norwich
where a thorough course in military
training is part Of the regular cprri-
culm and where all students arc sub
ject TO military discipline at all times.

things that make the work difficult
are things which you good people back

Although the request Is made that

in common with the other New Eng

course will be necessary for the dura-

whcatless day will be Wednesday,
Sept 26th. This plan of wheatless
days is spreading throughout the
country, and II corn and other war
breads are substituted for the white
breads, the amount Of wheat saved
will be sufficient TO meet the require
mnts of our allies, according to pres

CARTOONS
Surprising Secret Disclosed Regard

Inspiring Artists in the Production

Inspiring Artists in the Production
of the Films.
The elaborate technique required to
make the Katzenjammer Kids, Gertie
the Family Dinosaur, Colonel Heeza
Liar, and other creations of the car
toonist's pen go through their anus
ing stunts on the screen, is the sub
ject of an article by Homer Croy in
Everybody's for September.
"When an animated series Is com
pleted, there are somthing like two
thousand drawings on calendared
paper about the size Of typewriter
sheets, making altogether a pile high
er than mans head. Each sheet
is numbered, clear through the two
thousand; and then turned over to the
photographer, who works with his
camera suspended over his drawings
intsead of set on tripod.
when it is understood how compli-
Gated the process is, and how, even
with the most elaborate backgrounds,
two thousand drawings are required to
make five hundred feet of film, then
one understands better the difference
between an originating and an ami
mating artist and why Bud Fisher
never makes single one of the film
cartoons that bear his name. Nor
does Rube Goldberg or Tom Powers.
If they did, w'd sec about six of their
films year instead of one week.
"T'he artist conceives the funny sit
or possibly only the character,
and the animator does the rest. In
fact, an artist, after having conceived
the character, often doesn't know what
is being drawn. Bud Fisher has never
been in the studio where his Mutt and
jeff films are being made. A man
whom the public knows great deal
less about gives us our weekly Mutt
and JEFF. He is Raoul Barre.
"But Mr.. Barre doesn't do it alone
not at the rate of five hundred feet a
week. Not by some four hundred and
'ighty-odd feet. He has sixty artists
for him, all giving us Mutt
md JEFF. One man may make leg,
mother an arm, and third a coat. !
Mutt and JEFF is the weekly combina-
ion of the artistic efforts of sixty |
,eople."

States are requested by Food Commits
sioncr James Hartness TO refrain in
the greatest possible degree from the

Thursday Of each week until further

Mr.. Hartness, in common with other

their feeling Of optimism is justified
by the experience in Massachusetts
following the request made by Food

EXPENSES BELOW ESTIMATES
Selectmen and Other Officials Start Preparation of Annual Statements -Can't Reduce Tax Rate-Borrow to Pay for School Addition.

While a complete com mpilation of the 1gures for the fiscal year which ended on August 15 have not as vet been made, First Selectman Johnson stated today that tabulation of the recelpts and expenses representing most or the departments under the Jurisdiction of his board indicated that the taxes taken in since last summer were more than sufficient to meet the current expenses and with all bills paid, the treasurer's report will probably show balance. MT. Johnson and other officials are now at work on the preliminary details of their annual reports and within week it is likely that the statements will be sent to the auditors for exam ination before they are turned over to the printers to be included in the annual report.
 Except for the highway department which will show an increased expense because of the selectmen taking ad- vantage of the states offer to use crushed stone taken from West Main street and Forestville avenue for re- pairing other streets, the expenses in other branches will be much less than the officials had estimated.
 Selectman Johnson and his asso- clates on the board, and other officials as well, have doled out the towns money in economical fashion durin. the year. as is attested to by the pre- d1ctlon that the reports will show ! saving accomplished. They have spent the taxpayers dollars carefully and wisely and it is not believed tha. there will be any a,ppreciable crit 1cism of their administration.
 Although there is small balance on hand with which to start the year there is no likelihood that it will po possible to lower the tax rate when the voters assemble at the annua! town meeting. The highway expenses for the year recently begun are bound to be large. The towns share of the expense of putting permanent pave< ment on West Main and Whitinc streets will have to come out of the receipts for the new year. There Is
