WORSE THAN WARS HORRORS
Among Active Aids of Recruiting Ser

Nagglng Woman.

He was khaki-clad, with the "U. s.
R." on his collar, and as he clambered
aboard the interurban car he swung
in his free hand a small travelling bag
that appeared to be empty. Preceding
him was the other member Of the
family, all fused up in her tailored re.
gala, bound for a town q few miles
distant, while the husbands destina-
ton was Detroit. Once inside, he
tossed the travelling bag on vacant
rack at the forward end of the car and
seated himself facing his better-half.
Then the ear lurched around a curve
and the bag, slipping from the rack,
deposited itself on the woman's hat
and bounced off to the floor.

clamation, then when she discovered
the trouble: "That was a very careless
thing to do"
The man gathered up the bag, with
profuse apologies and placed 1t back Of
his feet, where 1t could do no further
harm.
"You don't know how that hurt"
came the complaint, although the
crown of the hat was not even dented.
"Supposing it had been filled with a
lot Of your truck" she went on.
No response from her vls-a-vis.
"You should never put anything like
that up there" was the next bit of
shrapnel, in tones loud enough to be
heard the length OF the car.

on the bag that struck me.
1T was very careless thing for you
to do.
"You might have known that 1t
would fall off there.
"Pll probably have a headache all
the day that will spoil my trip.
"When anything like that comes
down on you 1t unnerves you, can
tell you"
Her vis-a-vls only smiled amlably,
and getting no satisfaction from that
quarter she turned to her seatmate,
who was trying to hide his annoyed ex-
preston behind a weekly war digest.
"Dld that bag hurt you when 1t
fell" she inquired, although 1t had
missed him by at least a foot.
'Not at ALL" was the reply, without
looking up. at never touched me-"
ut was an awfully careless thing to
do" she ratified on, "and-"
"Good night" calculated a man
across the aisle, who had tried In vain
to read the news from the front in
his morning paper. And as he stalked
toward the solitude of the back plat
form he was heard to mutter: mo

BALTIC.
Blind Horse Runs Into Hartford Au
 tomobiIe-Baking Contest.

A peculiar accident occurred near Roods store Monday noon, just as the employees of the Baltic Mills were on their way to dinner.
 A party of Hartford gentlemen travelling in a Pilot touring car car : rying Connecticut marker No. 6-164, en route to Putnam, stopped their car to inquire of James Sheridan, chauf- feur for William E. Peck, general manager of the Baltic Mills, the best road to their destination.
 MT. Sheridan was explaining the route when a horse came through Railroad street at lively clip. The occupants of the machine did not see the coming animal until he was a few feet from the automobile. Shedi- dan jumped to catch the horse but the short distance between the auto and the horse prevented his stepping in between the two. The horse, which is blind, ran into the hood of the ma chine, raised his foot and paused between the mudguard and hood on
 the left side of the machine. The horses hoof became wedged between
 the hood and the mudguard and d:d considerable damage to the car. It was with difficulty that the horses foot was removed without injuring the animal The people coming from the mill stopped to witness the pred1- cament which held the Hartford par ty from continuing it's journey. The Hartford motorists agreed to settle with the owner of the team that
 did the damage for s1O; but the
 owner of the speedy horse advised 10 take the damaged car to a service sta ton in Norwich and have it repaired and he would stand the expense. He furnished credentials and the Capital City tourists left town satisfied. The
 machine is owned by James J. Malloy of Hartford.

The com petitors were two picked teams of youthful bakers, anxious to show their lately acquired skill in baking corn mullins and preparing all sorts of sub stitutes for wheat flour, with the in- tention of helping on food conservd- ton. The visiting team came from the Village Home Economics club and demonstrated first. Then followed the Academy team. Both used the same recipe in order that the judges task might be the easier and yet it was difficult enough.
 After all the points for and against were balanced Miss Bolan, the assist ant state leader of boys and girls club work, declared a tie and everyone in clubs and audience approved of one verdict
 While the mullins were baking the mothers and friends of club members looked over with keenest interest the surprising array of good things to eat. Each club member exhibited her most tempting product made accord ing to instructions received in the twelve weeks course just completed. The lessons have been prepared by Miss Bolan at Storrs college and giv- l en Dy MISS 6erIna ddlIOck, or the New London County Farm Bureau.
