PACKERS DISCOVER
 AIDS TO INDUSTRY
 AND SURGERY ALSO

Chicago, Sept. 7.---Three startling war discoveries, two of them having Ia direct military value and one hav- ing a worldwide economic signif- .cance, were made public here at the stock yards yesterday. These discov- cries pf the chemists in the laborato- ries of the packing plants, have come about as the result of continuous eff forts to aid in solving war problems.
 The cheese industry of the world has been rescued from the shortage of rennet, of which importations from Denmark have been grievously cur tailed. A new curdling agent, Rem nase, can now be made from the stomach of the hog. Rennet was ob- tained from the calf's stomach. Quan- titles of Rennase have been shipped to cheese makers. The scarcity of rennet can no longer cripple the in- dustry.
 Another discovery is thrombpplas- tin, a blood coagulator obtained from the brain of kosher killed cattle. It was. disclosed that some of this ma terial already has been exported to France and used there to hasten the coagulation of blood in soldiers wounds.
 The third of the revelations was that surgical hgatures, a by-product of the industry, are now being made in such wise that they will dissolve into the flesh at the end of a definite period. They are timed" for 10, 20 or 30 days and the surgeon needs but

road repairs to be applied for at least the coming year as the three years contract now held by B. B. Banks ex- pires this fall. There are divergent and strongly held opinions as to whether the contract system has worked out in a manneE to recom- mend it's continuance and these will doubtless find full expression. It is
 not believed that many will favor a
 return to the plan of having the se- lectmen care for the highways and there remains only the contract sys- tenn or the employment of a super visor with full authority and respon- | sibility. How MT. Banks has fared fi- nancially with his contract is a mat ter of conjecture. It is generally be- lieved however, that he made a fair profit the first year and little or none the two succeeding years owing to the increased cost of man and team hire.
 A whist was given by Miss Belle Sanford at the home of Mrs. J. W. Teets on Monday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Robert Hubbell of Bridge port, summer sojourner. There were five tables and prizes. Among the guests was Mrs. Hobart Brins- made of St. Louis.
 The Junior Red Cross of George town gave last Thursday afternoon a lawn party which realized about S70. ] Tomorrow (Friday) evening there will be another party for the same ob- ! ject on the Hunter lawn with tab1eaux I groupings by sixty young ladies of Danbury as one of the features.

ous relations with the soldiers; mak- ing special efforts i1 behalf of negro soldiers; securing better local super vision of movies and dance-halls.
 Many of the troubles of the enlisted man have originated in times past from loneliness. If you want to know what it means to be summed by every- body, just put on the uniform of the United States Navy" is the testimony of young recruit found walking aim- lessly about the streets of New York looking for something to do. He will not find it so today. The War Camp Community Service has put an end to this condition for all time.
 This idea that the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy have conceived-and in the realization of which the War Camp Community Serv- ice embodies such an essential part that the soldier is human being, and one who has not forfeited his place iA civilized society, is a new idea under the sun. But it is none the less prac. l tical on that account-its value is be- ing every day demonstrated in every town and city near a training camp. It is Americas chara cter:stic contribu- tion to the art of war, as revolutionary as the submarine or the aeroplane or any other of her inventions, and per- haps more valuable.
 The War Camp Community Service cities there have been on occasions more invitations sent than there were soldiers to fill them. This happened, expresses, at the most vital point, the sentiment of America toward its Sol- diers in holy war. These young men. are giving their lives for us and for our ideals. It is for us, the men and women of America who cannot go in person, to make them feel that they carry the spirit of America across the ocean when they go to fight; that in the camp or on the field, in the trench or in the hospital, in success or fail- ure-sick or well, alive or dead-our hearts are with them.
 How can this spirit be expressed? The opportunity is here and now in these few precious months while our soldiers are still with us, to be seen and spoken to, although already conse- crated to their high service: and it is an opportunity that belongs especially to those communities that lie near enough to the training camps to admit of the establishment of personal rela. tions between the soldiers and the citi- Zens.
 The spirit is also here; but the situ- ation is new to us and the methods Of it's expression do not all spontaneous Iy suggest themselves. Our effort must be organized to be effective. It is this organization which it is the business of the War Camp Community Service to supply.

sonal invitation from a body of care fully selected chaperons. The men are also selected, usually by the first ser geants of their companies, who take their responsibilities in the matter very seriously.
 < In one camp, where the soldiers were almost in a state of mutiny be- cause of a disappointment as to leave of absence at Christmas, a first ser geant in despair telephoned to the War Camp Community Service, was promptly furnished with girls and chaperons for a dance, and reported afterwards that the occasion had been the moral salvation of his company.
 Even better than giving social enter tainment and resources to the men is getting them to help out in the actiVi- ties of local organizations: to sing in the choir, talk to the boy scouts, fur nish a chorus at civic entertainment take part in theatricals or in an ath. letic exhibition-sometimes even to preach.
 Home Hospitality.
 Out of these social occasions of vari ous kinds springs up a more personal relation, and thousands of soldiers arc invited home to dinner or to pass Sat urday night, and are otherwise enter tained in the peoples homes. In some for instance, in one of the large cities on Thanksgiving, when it is feared that some of the men had to eat two turkey dinners in one day.
 Other Activities.
 Other things that the War CamI 1 Community Service is doing are: or ganizing community singing, band con certs, organ recitals, Sunday enter tainments Gin New York the Casino Theatre has been taken over on Sun day afternoons for the last named pur pose) stimulating municipal meeting and receptions, including Christina trees; supplying directories and bulle tins of local recreational resources securing teachers, especially of colo uuial French; sending out entertainer for the men in camp; finding lodging at possible prices for officers and sol diers' wives and families; finding em ployment for soldiers wives; protect ing the men from exploitation by loca tradesmen sending flowers to men il hospitals and providing auto rides fo convalescents; forming women's com mittees to do mending for the soldiers persuading communities to open parks playgrounds, school centers, to me in uniform, to hold public reception for them, to provide benches in tn parks, comfort stations, swimmin

BEDDING

Bedding, Sept 5-Usage and tra- ditions were ignored by the Demo- cratic caucus last Friday night when 1t named Republican as candidate for representative, the person thus he nored being Attorney S. c. shaw, who had already teen nominated for the same office by his own party. A comittee appointed to report nominees presented the names of Paul Connery and Eugene Adams. The latter post lively declined and several other capa- ble Democrats whose names were sue cessiyely brought forward would also have none of it. for various reasons advanced by th-,n Then E. P. San ford suggested that the caucus en- dorse MT. Shaw. Several approved the idea and no one opposed ir although w. c. Sanford, chairman of ihe town committee, urged careful deliberatlon before the proposed action was taken. The vote for MT. Shaw as running mate for MT. Connery was unanimous. some Democrats not present criticize the step as a matter of party policy, while offering no objection to Mr. Shaw as an individual. He has served two terms in the legislature and made a good record. MT. Connery is young man of ability and character, just entering upon his professional career as lawyer.
 The other nominations were as fol- lows: Assessors, Joel Godfrey; se- lectmen, w. c. Sanford and James E.. Driscoll; judge of probate, J. B. san ford; auditor, H. c.

TWO PERIODS IN
 FRANCE FOR THE CONDUCT OF RAIDS

Behind British Lines in France, Aug 7.-(Correspondence of The Associat- ed Press).-The working month of } Night Bombing Squadron in France is divided into two periods which are known as the Light and the Dark.
 The Light period covers the moon lit half of the month. Should it be attended by fine weather, great aerial activity prevails. Practically any raid that is possible by day, can be car ried out equally well at night during this period, for although certain de- tails are not clearly visible, the essen tial features of the ground stand out clearly and can easily be followed.
 The case with which targets can be found depends very largely on their geographical position. Water is the great guide for night flying, and on a clear moonlight night it can be seen from a great distance. Hence tar gets situated near a river, canal or lake present no difficulty whatever as regards their being found.
 Railways, too, ir they are in use prove excellent guides, for the rails shine clearly in the moonlight and can be easily followed. Woods, es- pecially if they are of peculiar shape, make good landmarks, for the black mass which shows up well in the moonlight can be quickly identified on the map.
 During the Light Period most of the long raids of the squadron are car ried out. The Dark period, the moonless nights, Is a much less active time. Flying is then done chiefly by the aid of a compass, but on clear starlit nights raids on targets such as factories with chimneys or blast fur naces whose glow lights up the sky for miles, may be carried out satisfactor- ily On a still night a compass course can be flown quite accurately, but unfortunately there are comparatively few nights on which the wind remains constant. It either changes in veloc- ity or direction and in the air 1t is difficult to distinguish these changes. A machine is very likely to be blown out of its course several miles with out the pilots knowledge. Therefore only short raids are undertaken, and thus the risk of pilots completely los ing their bearings is nininized. Often two or three short raids are carried out in one night.

Our soldiers and sailors are not go- ing to spend all their leisure time in the camp or training station. They have an almost physical need for change of scene, for a change of social environment, for some revival of those relations to the community at large, to home conditions, and especially to girls and women, in which a normal life so largely consists. If this need does not find it's satisfaction in one way, it will find 1t in another.
 It is also outside the camps that the truest recreation will be found. These young mems hunger for change, for ordinary huIunu society and surround ings, is a normal and wholesome one. One commander who began by insist ing that his men should spend tbeir leisure t1me in camp has ended by in- sistiug that they shal spend 1t outside the canap In the neiEhbortDg colu1nunl- ties, NorG.al social intercourse is the best aid to health ard to morale. The War Camp CoEiuGnity Service is nee. essary not only to prevent possible , evil, but to provide by far the most effective means of making oS2E -eT well and fit to do their best, "The spirit with which our soldiers leGvf America and their efficiency on tht battle fronts of Europe will he vitGilJ affected by the character of the cnyi ronment surrounding our mliitar! training camps"

1t up for the Odd Fellows within the camp. They were able to invite their own members because the com nsandant, Major General Hodges, had census made of all the men in camp showing what church and what frater- nity each man belongs to, of what col lege he is a graduate, whether he is fond of singing, what games he likes, and what his special hobby is. So that not only the Odd Fellows but every church, fraternity and college society can extend its hospitality, indi- viduaIly and by name, to its own mem- bers among the officers and men. A similar census has been made at al- most all the camps.
 The Churches Doing Splendid Work.
 Many churches, in various communi- ties, have, at the suggestion of the local War Camp Community Service, started soldiers clubs. Many union churches have been built. Every where the soldiers are invited to the church services, and in some places the War Camp Community Service has arranged for special trains or had jit-

not adequately be described by 8 mere catalogue Of the forms it may assume. Certainly the spirit has been abundantly present in these communi- ties near our training camps. The aid which the War Camp Community Serv- ice has been able to render in its eX- pression is partly indicated in the fol- lowing account of some of the things that are being done.
 Soldiers Clubs.
 One form of this War Camp Commu- nity Service is the starting of soldiers clubs: clubs which the soldiers run themselves, usually through non-com- missioned officers, in which they find opportunities for bowling, billiards, | quiet games, a chance to smoke and
 talk and listen to music, to read or
 write letters, to receive their women
 visitors, to buy soft drinks, chocolate,
 and other things for which soldiers and sailors manifest special hunger
 sometimes, especially in the case of the navy men, to secure nights lodg- ing. The largest of these clubs Is at | Newport where a tract of 125 acres has been secured, with an old mansion
 on 1t, now fitted up for all the pur- poses of a club; with grove of trees,
 in which 100 hammocks have been
 slung, bathing beach, ample oppor-
 tUuities for every kind of outdoor
 game, an outdoor theatre at which last
 summer as many as 5000 navy men
 were sometimes present. The naval /, authorities have so appreciated the re-
 sources of this club that they spent
 $4, GOO on a special foot bridge to con
 meet it with the Navy Yard.
 Another club in Newport is located in the quarters on the government closed ny Admiral Knight There are
 number of other cases in which this
 typical supplanting of the old order by the new has taken place. , Athletics.
 . Another thing the War Camp Com. munity Service is doing is getting uI : games and athletic sports between sol diers from different camps, and be- tween soldiers or sailors and local teams. Some of the football games s have attracted large crowds of specta tors, and the proceeds have been hand
 ed over to the soldiers to buy footballs - or other athletic supplies.
 , MobiIizino Community Resources. g The more important, though les! 9 visible, part of this Community Serv l ice is not in doing things directly fol 9 the soldiers but in getting the com : munity itself to do them.
