FOUR POUNDS OF WHEAT
 WITH ONE OF SuRSTITuTE

The salesman for a wholesale four house disputed on Friday the accuracy of statement published in The Bull lStin that morning that five pounds of wheat four could now be bought with cne pound of substitute,
 He stated that the latest regula- ticns of the food administration dated Aug. 27, were that only four pounds of wheat flour could be bought with one pound of substitute, according to the following which he quoted from the regulations of that date: The new regulation surersede the 50-50 rule. The retaiI dealer seIIin. standard wheat flour is required to carry in stock either barley flour, corn meal or corn flour and with every sale of wheat flour must sell a combina- l ton of some one or more of these in proportion of one pound of substitute i to each four pounds of wheat four No dealer may force other substitutes upon the consumer, and these sub stitutes must conform to the standard fixed by the U. s. Food Administra- : tion.
 Rye four or meal may be sold as a | substitute but must be sold in pro- portion of at least two pounds of rye | four to three pounds of wheat four Rice, oatmeal and oats are no long l CT substitutes,

THOMAS NORRIS MAKES
 MANY TRIPS ACROSS

Thomas Norris, formerly butler for many years for ex Mayor F. L. Os- good of Washington street, visited friends here on Thursday and Friday returning to New York on Friday morning, as he expects soon to sail on another trip. overseas.
 Mir. Norris has about as wide and varied war experience to tell about as any Norwich man, for he has made numerous trips across on merchant vessels carrying supplies for the
 troops. He is serving as steward.
 Most of his voyages have been to
 England, but the last one from which
 he returned was to Genoa. Italy. On the way back the ship touched at Gibraltar. MT Norris brought with him several copies of the Gibraltar daily paper, a small four page sheet, about 1ox12 inches.
 On his last voyage across in con voy, two of the vessels, he told some of his Norwich friends, were torpedoed l but the U-boat that made the attack was sunk One of the transports lost was loaded with dynamite and had it not been that the torpedo struck in l the engine room, instead of where the l dynamite was stored. the whole fleet might have been blown to pieces. As i it was, the only loss of life was one | man in the engine room.

VICTORIAN NICHOLS WAS
 NEARLY ELEcTRocuTED

Charles Nichols of Versailles mo- torman on the Shore Line Electric road, had a narrow escape from be- ing electrocuted Friday evening when car which had split q switch at the corner of Main and Shetucket street had become short circuited. The car which was b,und for Laurel Hill at nine o'clock split the switch at the Broadway corner, the forward truck taking the rails to Laurel Hill while lre back truck kept on the track for the West Side. The rear end of the car swung around crosswise of the street completely blocking it. One thoughtful citizen immediately noti- fled Chief Howard L. Stanton of the block and he instructed the firenen at the Central station to watch out for the car in case of a fire call to the LPI1rel Hill section or Ihe West SEe ,sile wreeking crew from the Greene 1 vile barn came to the rescp> of the disabled car and hitehed onto it with a cillin and pulled the ear back onto 1 in this work that M.otorman Nichols i was nearly electrocuted. When the l wrecking crew thought they had the l car far enough to go back under it's l own power Nichols climbed aboard 1 and started to run the car. He had no more than put his hands on the con- l trol and air brake than he got the full l load which is about 500 to 500 volts
 Those near him could see the flash of electricityaas 1t jumped from the brake 1 to his hand; He. cried out in pain sev- eral times and then became uncon scious. The trolley pole was irnmedi- iatelv pulled from the wire shutting off the juice. Nichols had on a heavy pair of gloves at the time which proo- ably saved him from more serious re- suits.
 He was taken to the sidewalk where it was some minutes before he reviv. ed. He was then taken into a drus

GREEN CONDUCTORS ARE
 LACKING IN COURTESY

There has been a noticeable lack ofattention and courtesy on the part of some of the younger conductors on the Shore Line road and in fact much carelessness on their part in not wait ing until all the passengers were off the cars before starting them. On Thursday night on one of the For ward door out" cars a passenger start ed to get out by the rear door and the conductor instead of politely tell ing him to go out the front door pointed to the sign and made an in sulting remark and when the passen- ger had stepped off the car started 1t before another man had alighted and nearly threw him down. On the West Side car Friday evening an old lady who was in the car started to get out the rear door but. the conductor, who happened to be the same one that was on the Thursday night car, told her to 'get out the front door" the conductor not even offering to help the woman, who was very feeble, and gave her barely time to get of before signaling to start This is thing that might be overcome very easily if the officials would give their conductors instruc- tions to be polite and make them carry it out

 Aug. +, 1918. My Dear Pa and Ma:
 l have few minutes and want to drop you a line to let you know 1 am feeling fine and taking on weight all of the time. Hope you both are well. The weather here just now is simply beautiful and would like to have you both here to enjoy it, too How is everything at home? 1 would like to be there with you, but l suppose we have a long ways to so yet. 1 often think of the letter you wrote some months ago about the war being over in a few weeks. I guess it will be a few more weeks before it will be quiet the way they are going now. I have just got back from the school I was attending and it sure seems great after being away for nearly two weeks. l Ngot three letters from you. mother, dear, when 1 got back, and very glad to get them, too. I have lot of work ahead of me now. 1 will have all the boys to teach the gas mask to. I com pleted my course and did it in week s time, and it generally takes a month, so you can see we had lot of study ing to do. We were going from a. m. till II D. m. and we were pretty tired when it was finished. I got back here yesterday and our pilots had been do- ing great work, and you have prob ably read about it in the papers by now.
 When I got in I found a lot of mail for me and l had a fine time reading them, and I also had some papers from home. They are coming pretty regular now, and I sure appreciate it very much.
 We are all ready to move again. It seems al we do is to get settled and pull up and move again. 1 don't care i if it will help win the war, and the sooner it is over the better I will be | satisfied.
 I suppose Pa is still on the trolleys l It would be different if he was in the army; it would be all hours but hope l he never has to come. I think we will have enough to finish it without going after men older than they have 1 called already. We have been doine lot of fighting lately. and the boys have been bringing home the bacon but you realize too that we have los' men as well as the other fellow. but the percentage is far in our favor. hate to think of the fine fellows tpat we have lost but we can't help it; l they were brave men and their Garins i never faila5 +S-'-- for Q minute arf they tackled them against odds anG ! have generally come out the best Oul pilots can lick any Hun that ever 1 crossed the lines single handed Your loving son,
