traitor. and are put in force by me
this day.
Effective this day:
mo one will be allowed to buy for
a private home more than two tons
of coal at one time, and not to buy
these tow tons until the supply on
hand is less than two tons.
"The dealer will require purchaser
to sign written statement, under
oath, showing amount of coal on
hand; also how much the purchaser
has ordered elsewhere and has not
yet received
The purchaser will be required to
pledge himself not to buy or attempt
to buy any more coal until his supply
shall become less than two TONS"
W. E. MYER,
u. s. Fuel Administrator for Tenn.
This plan will cause very small
saving of coal in our opinion as it on
1y reaches those who buy in small
lots Of from bushe1 to ton. Peo-
pie who haye not laid in their winter
supply Of coal are those who have not
the money to buy more. We should
like to have a ruling on the larger
consumers of coal. In the meantime

Bacon as Bait.

1--WE find batting our mouse trap
with bacon is a great advantage over
using cheese" advises a woman known
as u good hOusckeeper. mot only
does the cheese become dry in a few
days, but after a mouse has once been
caught with a piece of it you can sell
dom use it a second tine, for it seems
TO retain the mouse scent aud scares
the rest of them away.
Bacon, on the other hand, remains
savory and enticing TO the end. New
er has our mouse trap been so pOpu-
lar. Since we first baited ours with
bacon, about two months ago, we have
not changed it once, and 1 am sure in
that time more than tweary mice have
been caught in tic trap.

city Of Many Names.

No capital city has changed it's name
so often as Constantinople, which was
originally known as Lygos. In b. O..
65S this name was discarded for that
of Byzantium, which remained in use
until the capture of the city by Septi-
mus Severus, who rechristened it
Roma Nova. On making it his cap
ital, Constantine the Great endowed 1t
with his own name, and it is still Con-
stantinople among western nations.
This name, however, is ignored by the
Turks, who since they obtained pos
session of Constantinople have pre-
ferred to call it STEAMBOAT.

Never Heard Of Mayor,
Papers Denied Him

Because he couldn't name the may
or of this city and admitted he never
heard of Mayor Wilson, Joseph Jose
fynizy of this city was unable to get
citizenship papers when he appeared
before Judge Bennett in the superior
court this morning. His case was
continued.
An interesting case before the ma
turalization court was that of Rich
ard J. LeDuc of this city. He was
born in Canada but his parents were
Americans living temporarily in Can
ada at the time of LeDucs birth. His
mother brought LeDuc back to this
country after living in Canada about
five years. LeDuc said the selectmen
had refused to make him a voter be-
cause he wasn't a citizen but Judge
Bennett ruled that LeDuc was citi-
zen and need not be naturalized. He
was given a paper to that effect sign
ed by the court.

TWENTY GERMAN
PRISONERS MAKE
DARING ESCAPE

London, Sept. 26---One Of the most
airing escaped from internment campsd
was effected yesterday at Kegworth,
Nottingham. Twenty German pris-
oners, including Captain Muller and
Lieut.. Otto Thelan, disappeared
through a tunnel extending from a
hut in the camp to point outside
the barbed wire fence. How the
tunnel was dug is a mystic ry.
Nine of the prisoners were recap
tured, including Captain Muller and
Lieut.. Thelan. The latter made
three previous escapes. With Lieut.
Emil Tehmann, another Of the recap
tured prisoners. he fed from the de-
tention barracks at Chelmsford last
May.
The Germans made dummy locks OF
cardboard, substituting them for the
locks on the cell doors. Dummy
figures to deceive the sentry were
made from bedclothes and some OF
their own garments. To make these
figures the more realistic they were
decorated with shocks of hair from
their mattresses.

Six Killed In
End Air Raid
In "a Hours

London, Sept. 26-Six persons were
killed and 16 injured in the south
eastern outskirts of, London in last
nights air raid.
Although details are lacking it is
reported that a thrilling battle oc-
CURED between German and British
airmen took place a few miles from
London, which probably accounts for
the fact that last nights air raid re-
suited in SO nttle damage to the me-
tropolis.
German airplanes, although they
crossed the coast at different points
were met and continually harried by
a large force of British ma chimes
Whether any of the raiders was
brought down has not been learned,
but according to early reports the
formation of the German fleet, which
was coming towards London at a
great height and at great speed, was
completely broken up by the British
fiers, the raiders separating and all
except one turning back closely pur-
sued.
So effective were the measures tax,
en- to intercept this lone intruder thai
he was unable to penetrate beyond the
outskirts of London.
While the anti aircraft guns boomet
constantly, establishing a barrage frt
around the city, as on Monday night
diners in hotels and restaurants ant
audiences in theatres and at the opera
at the time for the most part were
Indifferent and unaffected. Some
theatres and moving picture places an
tictpaing the raid, had increased theil
advertising in the evening papers witt
such announcehents as "moonligh
nights open as usual-ample bonf
proof cellar
The following official announcement
was given out:
'The latest information shows tina

preached London last night, was turn

The reconsideration of dependency
claims began by the third district
board today, which in official course
of its business began referring to 10
cal boards the new evidence that Is
presented asking for revocation OF
previous rulings.
AT the various local boards offices
numbers of men appeared to ask for
blanks that exemption claims on de-
pendency might he submitted. Varf-
Gus reasons were ascribed for the de-
lays in filing, among which it was dis
closed that several men probably eli
gible to exemption had decided upon
voluntary service but because of sick
ness, death and other conditions found
parents dependent upon them at this
time.
In some instances before local
board reopen cases they will await
the official government notice which
had not reached the offices before
noontiIne today.
Although official estimates have not
been compiled at the different board
offices it was intinated today that un-
official notice of about so men having
failed in physical examination at Camp
Devens had been received.
This situation disclosing poor OF
hasty examination by the physicians
attending to examinations here con-
fronts the boards with the possible
necessity of drafting even larger num-
bers Of men than expected.
Tt was disclosed by papers in the
case OF Vincent Richard Nettleton OF
West Haven, reported yesterday
among those whose places might be
filled by employers and who therefore
were certified for services in the army
that Mr. Nettleton, who was condi.
tionally discharged at the request o.
