 Eight Police Dogs Sent Away.
 Eight handsome police dogs from the Palisade kennels at East Killing ly are en route to distant destina- tions to be received by purchasers of wealth who have come to recognize this breed of dog as one of the most remarkable being trained in America. Henri I. Baer, owner of the kennels, stated that the dogs have been sold for delivery in the following cities: Troy, Albany, Cleveland. Buffalo, Charlotte, N. C.; Miami, Florida, El- l kins Park, Pa, and Bristol R. l. l Some of the dogs will not reach their destinations until the end of the week and will be cared for meanwhile | by employees of the express compan- ies that have them in charge. l The shipping directions show that I some of the dogs have been purchased by members of some of the best known families in the country. The l shipment of dogs was a valuable one, representing several hundreds of dol lars.
 1 Mr. Baer now has about 80 police dogs at his kennels near East Kill l lingly, all of the breed that the goy- I ernment will use in assisting Red Cross workers on the western front during the fighting of the coming open season.
 Goal Shortage in Brooklyn. Residents of the town of Brooklyn are facing a difficult situation in SC far as being able to get a supply o1 coal is concerned. The people of the neighboring town. part of which is really Danielson, have for years made Danielson yards the base for securing their supply of coal There isn't 2 coal yard within the limits of the towf of Brooklyn. Yet if a resident ot Brooklyn applies for coal here he cap not be given any under. the rules 70 the fuel administration and has to ge along the best he can without any. Tn, one consolation in the situation i. that there isn't any coal for sale il Danielson, so Danielson ueople are a! badly off as those who live across tn, bridge.
 Some residents of Brooklyn. how ever, have considered calling the at ttention of State Fuel Adnlinistrato Russell to the relation of Brooklyn t l; Danielson, as to the system unde which Brooklyn has been supplied wit coal in the past and seeking a rear , rangement of the order now in force Their plea will be to have Brooklyl included in the Danielsan district. , | No coal arrived here Thursday an < DO promise of any arriving in the nea l future was made, though car ma ! arrive at any time. .<
