Mother said Buddy would have to sprinkle the lawn and flowers every evening till 1t rained; he had been do- ing it for over week, and was getting pretty tired of his job, as the water pressure was low, and 1t took him quite little while to get every thing watered.

 His prayer was answered, as short ly after he awOke with terrific toothache.
 When his mother reminded him of the prayer she had overheard, he said: "Yes, know said 1t. but didn't mean it."

COMMUNITY KITCHEN.
Institution May Be Established in
 This City Soon.

The advisabiIity of establishing a community kitchen in this city is being investigated by the Women's committee of the State Council of De- fcnse. Tho committee feels that such a center would offer splendid oppor- tunities to local women for the con- scrvation of the large surplus of hom raised products.
 The quota assigned Connecticut, by the United States Department of Agriculture, is 5,000,000 quarts of canned fruit and vegetables. This amount is exclusive of factory pro- ducts. 1t is the plan to use 65 per cent of goods canned or preserved, for the soldiers, while the remaining 35 per cent is to be saved for those who, for economic reasons are un- able to conserve any. New Britalns s allotment is 30, 900 quarts. Because it is expected a community kitchen will give far better results than are attainable through canning demon stratiOnS or those held by private clubs the movement will undoubted ly meet with hearty approval by the women of this city.

Thrilling combats with German submarines were witnessed during his journey across the Atlantic by Private Harry Berson of the Ma chine Gun Battalion, 58th U. s.

His letter, in part, follows:

TO GET ALIENS
Neutrals Claiming Exemption From Service Because Of Birth Will Lose
 Rights to Citizenship.

An amendment to the army bill adopted in the United States senate provides that neutral aliens, coming within the present draft ages, may \ continue to claim exemption, but in the cases of those who have applied !, for naturalization, rights to citizen Whip will be lost by those who claim exemption on that ground The amendment is an important one and It's import Is most noticeable in cos- Amopolitan cities like New Britain Here more than 1900 aliens have M classed as neutral aliens.

 The taking away of any claim to citizenship which their declaration gave will be effective even in years to follow the war if further perfection of the amending bill is adopted. Sen afor Hitchcock is the father of the amendment.
 The local boards have had many claims from aliens for exemption in which cases the new amendment will apply. On Sunday draft boards were engaged reviewing claims for exemp- ton from service on account of alien ship.
