build an electric power plant at the Igazu Falls which, the minister says would solve the fuel problem, open up vast regions of rich resources which are now dormant for lack of transportation facilities and bring Argentina and Brazil closer together commercially by means of an electric railroad.
 One of the principal arguments of the minister's friends is that the pro- posed power plant would do more than any other one thing toward de- velopirg shipbuilding in Argentina as 1t would open up the rich\pine forests of Mis1ones, and provide shelters for reducing the limOnito which is found in large quantities Tn this region and said to contain as high as 50 per cent. of iron. The working of the forests would also permit the manu- fracture of print paper, which has been so scarce here.
 The Igazu Falls are among the largest ill the world, being nearly if ty feet higher than Niagara Falls and three times as wide. They are in the Igazu River in the Argentine territory of Misiones on the Brazilian iron tier One section; known as the Dev-
 
 much water as the Niagara river.
 Dr. Pueyrredon conferred with the Brazilian minister here on the ques- tion of the two governments cooper ating on the proposition.
 Electrical engineers say that one of the smallest falls in the Igazu group could produce million horse power without detracting any from the beauty of the falls
 Igazu Falls are little known even to tourists because of the difficulty of reaching them. From Buenos Aires, it is necessary to go by rail or river to Posadas, in the territory of Mis- 1ones, and then by horseback for several days before reaching the falls. They are in a part of South America that is exceedingly hot and invested with poisonous insects so tkat the few who do brave the journey are required to wear heavy veils and gloves despite the heat.
 Capitalists have on several occa- sions asked the Argentine Govern ment for concessions to operate a power plant at the Tgazu Falls but their petitions never were acted upon.

less of the manner in which it could be done. Edward Brastow, as gen. eral chairman, has kept busy every minute since the campaign started and the work of his brother, L. L. BrastoW, as chairman of the publicity committee, has been largely respons- ible for the result.
 One man with three boys in the ser vice gave $500 and wished he could give more. The Rockwell-Drak fac tory and the TrumbuIl Electric com pany gave $1,00O each as a corpora tion. Many other examples of gener- osity could be stated. Plainville has gone over the top as formerly and will continue to do so long as the govern ment calls for money.
 Plainville Briefs.
 Sergeant Peter Skinner is on a fur tough at his home on Broad street He is stationed at Camp Raritan, New Jersey.
 James J. Graham is recuperating from severe cold It is expected that he will be able to return to his duties at the local pcstoffice tomorrow.
 It is expected that within the next few days the sugar shortage which Plainville is experiencing, will be rem edied by the arrival of a new allot- ment. The amount to be given to a tamily will not exceed three pounds unless the present restrictions are re- moved. Thus far the town has not suffered much from the effects of the sugar shortage, although it has caused some inconvenience. Tn matters per- taining to the food question PlainviIle has always been well provided for through it's administrator, A. H. Con- dell.

West Main Street Young Man
 Narrowly Escapes Death
TOWN IS OVERSUBSCRIBED
Quota of $9,400 is Already Exceeded in United War Workers Campaign Brief Items of Interest-Draft Board Notes

James Lee, a we'll known local young man narrowly escaped death when he was struck by a large tour ing car last evening half way between Plainville and Southington, near Lazy Lane. Lee, who is a driver for Eaton Brothers, was crossing the road with a bag of feed on his shoulder, when the touring car struck him and dragged him 40 or 50 feet. Those who witnessed the accident say that it was little short of a miracle that he was not killed outright. The auto was Hartford car and was driven by a Hartford driver. After striking him the automobile sped along in the di- rection of Southington, but the license number was obtained. The injured man was taken to the New Britain General hospital, where 1t was stated that he is now resting comfortably,
 Draft Board Notes.
 Word has been received by the To- cal draft board, No. of Hartford county, from Governor Holcomb, as follows:
 The president directs that regis trants, who on September 12. 1918, had attained their 37th birthday, and who have received questionnaires, need not fill out such questionnaires, but they are to immediately return such questionnaires to their local board"
 This means that all those who had attained their 37th birthday when they registered on September 12, 1918 should return their questionnaires without filling them in. It does not apply to those under 37 years of age.

 Town Exceeds Quota.
 Despite the fact that it's first quota of $7, 520 was later changed to $9,4O0, the town has once more shown it's ability to do what it sets out to do. Yesterday it was announced that it was almost certain that the town would go beyond it's quota and this noon Edward Brastow, the chairman of the campaign, announced that the town has already exceeded it's quota with good prospects of raising consid- erably more. The fact that the town has raised it's quota is one more ac complishme ent in it's many war activ- ities. The fact that the town has gone over the top will show the boys who have been fighting that they are re- mem'hered at home, No little praise should be given the men who were at the head of the campaign and who pledged themselves in New Britain to send this town over the top regard

 Fuel Administrator F. w. Mildrum has received a letter from Thomas w. Russell. tho fuel administrator for the state advising him that the price of coal at the mines has gone up $1 a. ton which will have to be added to the local dealers price. This is caused by the scarcity of labor and
 
 at the mines due to influenza.

MEMORIAL ARCH TO
BE FREE WILL GIFT
Police and Reserves viii Be-
gin CanUass Wednesday.

II is the desire of the committee APP
pointed by the Mayor to build a me
, mortal arch TO the citizens of New
York who gave their lives in the war
that ii should be a free will gift of all
the people. To that end the committee,
Of which Rodman Wanamaker is
chairman, announced last night that
subscriptions would be received by the
10000 members of the Police Depart
ment and of the Police Reserve. These
collections will start on Thanksgiving
Eve and be continued until enough
money has been collected to build the
monument.
The subcommittee on art, of which
Paul w. Bartlett is chairman, will be
Slad to consider any suggestions as to
design or location. A meeting will be
held tomorrow to discuss designs for
a temporary arch which it is hoped to
have completed to welcome the return
ms soldiers.
Action on the permanent arch will
be deliberate" the committees state
ment says, the purpose of the COM
nittee being to erect a simple, digni-
fled, massive arch that will live for
ever as a work of art and truly rep
resent the feelings OF the people"
Let this be real arch of freedom"

people. Let each one in his measure
bc part OF 1t, not by gifts, but by
offerings from the heart OF a iber-
ated nation in gratefulncss to the AL
mighty for His preservation OF our
principles and in memory OF those be-
loved men and their mothers who
| have given their all 10 freedom. Let
us record in history that the five mil
lions and more from this great city
| every one-did their part in this me-
mortal for humanity.
II earnestly ask on behalf of the
committee and for the people OF .the
city whom we represent. the unselfish
cooperation of those who can aid the
worthy project 1t is unthinkable that
| in erecting memorial of this sacred
natnre any personal interest should
develop"
