American Red Cross Builds a Cement ViI- lage to Care for Ref ugees.

Rising within the shadow of the tower of Pisa is one of the most modern towns in Europe, and it Is an American village-an American Red Cross Refugee village, by the way, built of concrete and with the most approved hygienic arrange ments. Where as late as last April an orchard bloomed, this village of cottages, stores and workroOms is springing up like Jacks bean stalk.
 Before September 1t will be a hive of lnuustry for two thousand refu- gees from the German sma sb. many of them wives, children and grand parents of Italian soldiers.
 The structures already built or under way will house two thousand people, but the plans provide for the erection of homes for three thousand more on the thirty acres constituting the towns site. The neat rows of airy, we'll lighted ce- ment houses, designed in Italian style by Italian architects. surround

 In 1909 'Steepe Tom" was in this city working on the 240 foot chimney at the Stanley Works. He has also worked on the Mallealble Iron Works chimney and the chimneys at the Union Manufacturing Co.,, and tho r. & F. Corbin factory. Recently. in Philadelphia he climbed to the top of the William Penn statue, $50 feet above the street, and inspected it. Later, he worked at rcpainting the statue.
 Before leaving New Britain "Steeple Tom" will make an effort to secure the contract for taking down the damaged steeple of the Sacred Heart church in case it is found necessary to dismantle it. Last fall he took down a big 15O foot chimney in North Grosvernordale, Conn.

 Model Town to Be Carried on by
 Women,
 1t will largely be a woman ruled town. Many of the citizens of this new community will come from Venice, and in the main they will be women, for in Italy every able bodied man whose work has not a1- ready been cut out for him behind the lines is fighting at the front for the women he has left behind him. Therefore, it is case of the woman who is behind the man who is be- hind the gun. Many of these wo- men will be home workers by both instinct and training, though almost every class known to the country will be represented. Many of the

fuel. This closely follows the recom- mendation of the local fuel admints- trator. The state administrators an nounccment follows:
 New England must burn moro wood. The coal shortage is serious and is a condition that is likely to con- tinue during the war Stove and fur mace wood is everywhere in demand. Warships and munition plants cannot burn wood. We ought not to demand the coal they need. New England volunteers her woodlands in the emergency. If you own wood lot cut some wood in the service of your cuntry. If you need fuel buy wood from your farm neighbors. Order what you will need later, Let th" choppers know who will take their wood. There is another winter after this"
 Continuing, the state administrator gives the following table of the com narrative fuel values of green and dry woods: Seasoned 12 months, 100 per cent; nine months, 99 per cent; six months 90 per cent; three months, S5 per cent: used as soon as cut, 65 per cent.
 For comparative purposes MT. Rus sell likewise included the following table showing the fuel value of certain woods as compared to a ton of coal. cord of dry hickory, white oak, hard maple, beech, ash and birch is equal to one ton of coal. A cord fo other oaks, soft maple, gray birch, syca- more, elm and apple wood is equal to three quarters of a ton of coal. A cord bassWood, pine, chestnut, poplar, hemlock and cedar is equal to one half ton of coal.
 Coal burning stoves and furnaces may be fixed to burn wood by putting strips of sheet iron over the grates, or by using fire bricks.

25TH ANNIVERSARY
 OF MR. AND MRS. NOE
Son in Service, Silver Wedding
 Will Not Be Celebrated

MT. and Mrs. Max Noe of r Divi- sion street. will be married 9 years on Saturday of this week The at- fair will be very quietly observed however. owing to the fact that their only son, Oswald Noe. is in the sery- Ice. MT. and Mrs. Noe were married on August 24, 1893, in St. Peters church, this city, by Rev. N. F. x. Schneider of Meriden, who was pastor of the church at that time.
 Mir and Mrs. Noe spent all of their married life in New Britain MT. Noe is employed as a brass moulder in the P. X r. Corbin division of the Amer jean Hardware corporation, having been with that concern about 30 years. Mrs. Noe said this morning that if their children were at home they would celebrate their silver we'd ding in excellent style but since their only two children are away from home, their son in the service and their daughter, a Sister of Mercy, they will allow the event to pass as usual
 Oswald Noe was drafted from New Britain last May and several weeks ago, he was sent overseas from Camp Devens. He has been in France for about a month, with Company C, 301st Engineers, A. F. F. Their daughter, Sister Mary Plus, is con- nected with the Order of Mercy in West Hartford, where she teaches in St. Patrick's school. MT. and Mrs. Noe are both enjoying good health and feel satisfied that their children are engaged in acts for the good of humanity
