 Anthony Lazzerin of this town
 showed his patriotism and love for his adopted country when he was called
 before the examining board Monday.
 When he stated that he was an Italian citizen they refused to examine him.
 He asked if there was no way he could get into the draft. He was told that the only way was to give up his allegiance to Italy and become an American citizen. In less than a half hour he returned and said that Ire had made arrangements for his first papers and he passed his physical examinations without any trouble.
 Henry P. Davison. chairman of the Red Cross War Council authorized the following statement in Mondays New York Times: "The Red Cross is very much gratified to be able to announce that the National Surgical Dressings Committee, one of the most important of the relief organizations called into being by the European war, has become an auxiliary of the Ameri- can Red Cross. This arrangement was perfected after protraoted negotiation between Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard, the organizer and chairman of the Surgical Dressings Committee, and Judge Robert s. Lovett, chairman of the Red Cross Committee on .Co- operation. The arrangement with the Red Cross provides that the Surgical Dressings Committee shall ,arry on it's present work in the United | States as a national auxiliary of the | Red Cross. It may solicit funds in it's own name, but no solicitation shall be made in the name of the Red Cross unless all the proceeds there from are turned over to the Red Cross The committee will give full reports concerning it's activities and finances to the Red Cross. The French section of this will become the Surgical Dressings Service Department of the National Red Cross. It will administer in France all the surgical dressings work of the Red Cross and will be in charge of Mrs. o. K. Austin, heretofore director in Paris of the French section of the Surgical Dressings Committee. '

Miss Ruth and Rexford Taylor oi Worcester are with their uncle, George Siswiok, and family at Laurel camp. Lake Mashapaug.
 Mrs Margaret Rafftery and family contemplate leaving Stafford in the near future and the home which they have occupied over a score of years is offered for sale.
 The Y. P. B. will hold their meet. ing Friday evening at 7.3O in the Congregational church at Stafford vile. The meeting will be in charge of Florence White.
 John Buckley of Union has been appointed by Gov. Holoomb for this district, No. 23, to represent the federal government in seeing that unjust claims for exemption from the draft are not allowed.
 City delivery of mails from this office is one of the possibilities of the near future. The ruling is that when postal receipts amount to $1O, ,O0O year the post-office IS entitled to have free delivery. For the past year the receipts st the post office here, not including postal savings or money order receipts, were $1O,1OO. This put the office in line for city delivery. The receipts for this office have increased every year, and it looks as though we would have our mail de- liyersd to us before long. Postmaster Hanley has already made application for the delivery system and the de- paEtment has taken the matter under consideration. If it is found that there is probability of the receipts keeping up to what they have been for the past year the office will have free delivery. This increase in postal receipts has added another $1OO each to the salaries of the postmaster and assistant postmaster. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week the clerks in the post-offioe are count ing and weighing mail received at the office.

little matter of $75O. The Nixon Nlrdlingcr Vaudeville Corporation objected to the Darcy combination breaking a contract to appear at one of it's theatres.
 So the entire $11.4G taken at the ticket windows was in the hands Of the Sheriff This was too much for Darcy and he sneaked out of the Olympia for his hotel, leaving MT, RosenthaI and the S6 paid admis- sions flat.
 Then Leon Rains gets in the plot. He called Darcy on the phone and told him that if he didn't return to he club and entertain the SC and 8cddy WigmOrc that he might as well take the next ship for Aus tralia, as something would happen. Darcy had no defense for this verbal lead and promised to come back.
 Darcy boxed three one-minute rounds with Fred Gilmore, of Chi cago. The crowd continued lenient. There were mixed cheers and ragD- berry calls when he quit. The show began at 9:1O and ended at 1O:OG.

Novel Device Is Contrived by
 0u{felder.

Dode Paskert, star outhelder or the Philadelphia Nationals, has q new baseball pitching machine that he believes will solve the problem of batting practice. Paskert is trying to interest President Herr mann of the Reds in the contriyance enough to get him to install one of the machines at the Rhineland training camp at Shreveport.
 The electrically controlled pitch CT" will deliver any kind of ball desired-low or high, inside the plate or outside. The balls do not come absolutely straight, for when they are "pinched" and let go by the apparatus, it is said, to make the ball curve in or out.
