BOOTLEGGERS SELL.

 ness in New Haven

New Haven, Aug. 7-"Bootlese1ng"
 a term which ordinary citizens have
 small occasion to use in New Haven,
 where cafes are open for definite
 hours of the day-seens to have come
 into it's own here. at least for the
 time being. Since the federal law
 which prevents the sale of liquor to
 soldiers and sailors in uniform has
 been passed those men in the service who like their daily potion of the
 stronger drinks have found it in
 creasingly difficult to procure the
 goods.
 Although the police realize that the
 number of soldiers who deliberately set out to quence their thirst in this wise is exceedingly small in compari- son with the whole number of men encamped at Camp Yale yet the evils Of bootlegging, which consists of a civilian buying a bottle of liquor and
 re-selling 1t to the soldier at largo profit have not been minimized In
 the first place the stuff sold by the
 bootleggers is in many cases of an exceedingly poor quality and likely to do more injury than larger quan- S1SS o1 14OOl0I duCColIy, d11u L1l0 1dCI that in most instances the liquor sold Is whiskey or gin, tends to bind the buyer to the drinking of harder stuff than beer or other forms of malt beverages.
 There has been no general order 1 issued to the police against bootleg- ging but both military and police au- thorities are known to be on the watch to halt whatever sales of liquor are now being made to soldiers. The federal law provides a stiff pen l alty for those convicted of the crime. City Attorney Whitaker keenly feels | the situation.
 "I'd like to get hold of some of those fellows said he. "Of course, l could only prosecute them under the I state statutes which provide for a 1 fine or jail penalty They could. no doubt, be turned over to the federal

BLIND ALBERT OF
 SEYMOUR IS DEAD
Famous Resident Passes On At
 the Age Of R

Seymour, Aug. 7.-Albert J. Lewis, perhaps better known to many of the townspeople as "blind Albert" died Sunday at the home of his sister, Miss Ella Lewis. 40 Franklin street, An sonia, following an illness of only a few weeks. He was 72 years of age.
 MT. Lewis spent practically all of bridge where he was very well known, as well as in Seymour, He was the son of Preston and Fannie (Carring- ton) Lewis. When MT. Lewis was only seven or eight years of age he suffered an attack of scarlet fever which eventually resulted in total blindness. Since the death of his parents he con- tinued to live in the old family resi- dence not far from the Seymour and Woodbridge town line. alone, and went to Ansonla only a few weeks ago where he remained at the home of his sister until the end came. MT. Lewis is survived by three sisters Mrs. B. l.. Post of California, Miss Ella Lewis of AnsOnia, and Mrs. w. A. Baldwin of Seymour.
 It was remarkable the manner in which MT. Lewis was able to get about from place to place, blind as he was. Perhaps if it were not for his old faithful horse, which he had had for years, it might not have been so easy for him to travel. This horse appar- ently knew that it's owner was blind, for it just seemed to assume the re- sponsibility of carrying MT. Lewis to Seymour and home again safely.
 Did All His Own Shopping.
 Until MT. Lewis became i'll, he at- tended to all of his marketing, etc. making frequent trips to Seymour where he was seen time and again feeling his way along the streets with his walking stick. After reaching this town, he would hitch his horse in one certain place and walk from store to store until he had made all

DRAFT NOTICES
 APPEAR IN BERLIN
Between 75 and 100 Ehgibles to Be Examined Saturday
Dk. GRISW0LD ON BOARD
Drainage Conditions at Railroad
 Bridge to Be Bettered-Fiu Out tho Blank-Home Guard Has Drill and Inspection in Town hall

5 As near as can be estimated, be- tween 75 and 100 draft notices were sent out yesterday, arriving at both the Berlin and Kensington post offices this morning. These notices were sent out by the local selection board and came from Avon. As this board has no list of those persons to whom they were sent it is not def- nitely known how many reached Ber- lin.
 Up to noon only a few of these oonscription notifications had been called for and authorities expressed the opinion that it would be hard task to reach some of the foreign ele- ment. This theory was based on the fact that few of them never pay even occasional visits to the post of ice and, as their addresses are un- known, it will, in some cases, be inn possible to notify them.
 For this reason 1t Is thought that . large number through ignorance will have to be apprehended by the authorities. Each eligible is supposed to keep in touch with the local ex- emption board and find out when and at what time he will have to appear. Tho non-receipt of the notification through the mails Is no excuse and anyone not appearing at his specified will be liable to arrest.
 For the benefit of persons of for eign extraction 1t was deemed ad- visable to state in this column that the local selection board will meet in the Town hall at Plainville on Satur- day of this week. If anyone has not received notification to appear and has not kept in touch with the board and thinks that his name was among the first 1000 drawn 1t would be well to put in an appearance at that time.
 Dr. Griswold of Berlin has been asked by local board to appoint two other doctors besides himself to rep resent the town of Berlin. The men appointed are: Dr. Hodgson of East Berlin and Dr. Cunning. who Is prac- tieing with Dr. Griswold.
 These three men will help with the examinations which will be carried on at Plainville. Tn order not to leave the inha bitants of the town without medical assistance, one man will stay Tn Berlin and the two others will aid with the examinations. During the day the men will change places with each other.
 As there are a number of friendly aliens in this district the statem ent made by Provost Marshal General Crowder may have some effect on the number of exemptions. The ruling communicated to the local exemption boards directs that all friendly aliens s<Ae waive their rights for exemp-

 filling Starts Something
 Partially on his own initiative and partially at the ldvice of the county health officer, First Selectman w. l.. filling ordered a gang of men to dig up the drain near the railroad bridge today. The reason for this move was to find out just who was to blame for the stagnant water which forms every day under the bridge
 Excavation, it is claimed, showed that the, sewage came from a nearby hotel and ran into the cesspool which is built on the public highway. This in itself, according to Selectman AL lings statement is a violation of the law for all cesspools must be on per sonal property. The tile drain run ming from the cesspool has evidently become clogged, thus causing an over flow which has segregated in pools. This condition has been prevalent for many weeks
 The county health officer was in town yesterday and he and Dr. Gris- wold went over the matter thorough ly. According to the local health officers statements the case will probably be aired in court Thursday morning. If conditions are not bet rrDi1 hxa taken by the authorities. Fill Out a Blank. A number of the citizens of the town have asked if. there is any man ner by which they can determine the names of the local young men who have heard the call to the colors.

Americas heart James Whitcomt
Riley's poem, Name of Old Glory, .
tells why it was SO named. He let's the

last verse Of this wonderful poem is as
follows
''Then the old banner leaped, ike sail
in the blast,
And nuttered an audible answer at last.
And it spake. with a shake of the voice,
and it said:
BY the driven ow-white and the living
blood-red
Of my bars, and their heaven of stars
overhead
BY the symbol conjoined of them all,
skyward cast,
As float from the steeple or flop at
the mast,
Or droop Ger the sod where the long
grasses nod
Wy name is as old as the glory of God
So came by the name of Old Glory"
