THE WEATHER

New Haven. Jan. 31 - For Bridgeport and vicinity: Unset settled tonight; Friday fair, colder.
 Connecticut: Cloudy tonight; Friday fair, colder; moderate shifting winds, becoming north west.
 Cloudy and unsettled weather prevails this morning in the Lake res-iOn and along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida. Light snow has fallen during the last 24 hours in some of the northern districts and light rain in the southern districts. The cold wave reported yesterday morning between the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi river has moved slowly south ward causing quite a decided fall in temperature in the lower Mississippi valley. Tempera=ures from 25 to 10 degrees below zero were reported along the northern border from Montana eastward to NJ chigan, and zero temperatures extend as far south as Oklahoma.
 Conditions favor for this Vi- cinity cloudy and unsettled weather with light snow or rain. followed by fair with somewhat lower ,temperatuEA

ones?
 This question has been solved and We can put up semi-permanent houses of mixture in which broken up building materials found on the spot can be used. These houses will last from 10 to 15 years, long enough to shelter the families until the govern ment can pay for the permanent re- construction of their ruined homes. Sheds for fodder or cattle could be built on the same principle.
 Entering Verdun
 Now we must leave kind Mile. Siro- dot and start for Verdun. It is a dis nal day, not raining, but the clouds are low and we feel depressed as we pass through the wounded villages and meet large cemeteries for soldiers scattered along the fields. We become more conscious of what is going on beyond as we get nearer the heroic town.
 Owing to the screening clouds, large military movements are being execut- | ed. Our motor must pass between the convoys going up to Verdun and those coming down. In these vans are men going to the trenches, others coming from them, these last covered with mud, tired, but brave looking. | They watch us with curiosity, as wo- men are rarely seen in the region we now have reached. Those going up to watch ovar our safety are fine, we'll fed, haNpy-looking youths; many smile and wave to us as we got past and we wonder how many will come back.

BOYS AND GIRLS
 TO BE ENROLLED
 FOR FOOD DEPT. Junior Dept. of States
 Food Supply Committee Is Organized. ALL YOUNGSTERS IN | STATE ARE ELIGIBLE Farm Bureau Club, Assisted l by Other OrganizationsJ
 to Conduct Work.

Hartford, Jan. 31.-Methods for working out the local development of the Junior Food Army in each town of the State were discussed at a meeting of the Junior Food Army Department of the Committee of Food Supply of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense at the committees headquarters here today. In order that every boy dnd girl may have opportunity to join the army a statewide. organization is planned. The War Bureaus and Town Committees of the State Defense Coun- ci1 were mentioned as one of the or ganizations which will be asked to carry forward the work.
 All previously-formed organizations which are doing work on production and conservation with the boys and girls will be recognized and asked to cooperate The Junior Food Army project is felt to be an undertaking of such magnitude that full use must be made of every individual or organiza- tion in the state which can be inter- ested in juvenile work.
 The importance of supervision for the successful carrying out of the plan "rtS ulScuSSeus aHu IL was COnSlOer6O highly advisable, if not absolutely necessary, that in all communities 1 where there were any considerable number of boys and girls taking up the work, supervision be provided. The Farm Bureau Club leader in each county will have charge of supervi- sion for his county.
 l H. J. Baker, director of extension for the Connecticut Agricultural Col lege and A. J. Brundage as state i leader of boys and girls club work, were appointed a committee to present further plans at the next meeting of the Food Army Department, which will be held next Tuesday.

SCAN OCEAN IN
 VAIN SEARCHING
 FOR FUEL BOATS

Boston, Jan. 31-With the mercury lowering between 10 and 12 degrees above zero and a cold wind sweeping in from the northwest, Boston went to work today in buildings inadequately heated, because of the fuel shortage which had shut off deliveries to more than 100 places where thousands of men and women work. Meanwhile the local fuel administration made frantic efforts to learn from railroad | might be expected here for rough weather outside had delayed tugs i proceeding to this port with a score of coal laden barges.
 It was believed that the action of federal authorities in Washington last night in giving priority to the loading and dispatching of 50 ships in Hamp- ton roads, along with help from the big bins at the navy yard, would bring relief before it was found necessary to carry cut a contemplated plan of shutting down all business for a AS | hour period. Before receiving as- suranees from Director General Me Adoo and Dr. Garfield that New Eng land would have immediate help, James J. Storrow, fuel administrator for this district, had intimated that
 it probably would be necessary to
 close every business establishment in
 Boston temporarily in order to pro-

ROLL OF HONOR IN EVERY TOWN URGED BY COLE Adiutant General Praises Work Being Done by
 Many War Bureaus. DOCUMENTS TO HAVE VALUE FOR HISTORY Complete Record of All In National Service Should
 Be Made.

Hartford, Jan 31-Adjutant-G Gen. eral George M. Cole issued a state p'ent today pointing out the import ance to Connecticut of work being done by the War Bureaus of the Con- necticut State Council of Defense in compiling rolls of honor containing the names of Connecticut men who have enlisted in the army, navy and marine corns. He says
 War Bureaus which are compi1- ing honor rolls bearing the names and home and war addresses of Con- necticut men who have enlisted for service in the armed forces of the United States are doing a work the importance of which will be realized IT ore and more in ] ure years when tne war has become ), ct history
 At the lose of '.,y Ameri can war efforts have been made in Con necticut to cont ile roll of the men who fought for state and nation. Past compilations have been made only with great difficulty because they were not begun until a war was over and the records for a war as recent as the Spanish-American War are as a result incomplete. A similar rol will be needed as a matter of histOr- ical record when this war is over and the only practical way of compil ing it efficiently is to begin now.
 ''If every city and town in Con. necticut complies an honor rol through it's War Bureau or similar agency of the council and every resi- dent of each town sends to the com pliers the names, home addresses an( military or naval units of every rela tive, friend, or acquaintance who i in the service, it will be possible a the close of the war to compile prac tically complete rolls of Connection men who fought for their country. is important that the rolls be kep up-to-date as the war progresses an' that copies of the information gath cred in the various towns and cities b sent to the adjutant- general. Stat Armory, Hartford.
 "The records should be authenti and should in each case contain a much information of a military na ture as is available, including a com plete definition of the organiZatio of which the soldier or sailor is member, promotions, engagement: wounds, etc."

BIG EXPLOSION
 AT NEWPORT WAS
 NOT HUNS WORK

Washington, Jan. 31-The recent explosion at the naval torpedo sta- ton in Newport, R. l., was not the work of an enemy. naval officials are now fully convinced after a careful investigation. Reports to the ord nance bureau show 125 pounds of illuminate of mercury were destroyed by the explosion. which occurred in the dry house, located in a former bomb proof.
 The relatives and friends of the men killed must appreciate the fact that they have given their lives for their country in a manner deserving as much praise as if they were in the trenches opposite enemy forces, said Rear-Admiral Earle, chief of ord nance, in a letter today extending the governments sympathy and condo lence to the families of the men.

HOUSE SERVANT SHORTAGE FOUND
 BY LABOR DEPT,

New York, Jan. 31.-There is a shortage of house servants throughout the country, with no relief in sight and with no possible way of meeting the problem, according to a state ment here today by the United States employment service of the Department of Labor This is the only scarcity at present which cannot be overcome by labor distribution, the statement says, as there is no section that has a sur plus from which may be drawn do- mestics for service elsewhere.
 Improved status of female workers increasing range of employment open cd to women by war conditions, and the decline in immigration are giver as the reasons for the shortage.

LANDMARK IN CITY OF PENN
Many Philadelphia Citizens Would
Deeply Regret the Passing Of
Famous Old Alehouse.

Some Philadelphians Of sentimental
and c~onvivial turn are disposed to re-
gard the possible advent of prohibit
ton with gloomy mien, if for no other
reason than because 1t would mean
the passing Of the Old Ale House. on
Drury street hear Thirteenth.
1t is not age that gives flavor TO the
Old Ale House. The legend on the
rusty signboard which states that 1t
was established by Mary MCCLELLAN in
1870 does not count for much in a
city where many taverns can trace a
direct lineage from the days Of Penn.
1t is rather the garment of tradition
with which the old taproom has COW
cred itself.
1t was there that this and that
heavyweight signed articles for an i'm
mortal bout. 1t was there that poll
ticians Matched a celebrated deal
about which newspaper editorials are
still being written and public speeches
still being made. 1t was there that
many a young genius found the inspi-
ration which changed him from a boz
hemian hack to a successful author.
Over it all Mother" MCCLELLAN pre-
sided with a discipline at once gentle
and stern. The brawls were rare.
The Old ale House is no less a land
mark than a sight-The visitor is usu-
ally taken there in the early after
noon, and while he sips the ale from
his mug the attentive guide %recounts
the history, adding a line or two from
personal "reminiscences. The Ale House

variety. of minds. 1t Is furnished in
mission wood after the fashion of the

Wartime Nerves.

AS the wal progresses to its finish,
which will come some glad day, per-
haps even nearer than is now expect
ed, the strain upon those who await
it's outcome with the most intense INK
iety daily becomes more difficult to
stand. The tense situation encour-
ages the development of a state of
mind which is harassing, and n
which, if not checked, must ultimately
result in a more or less serious col
lapse after such long-continued pres
sure. Great restraint of natural i'm
pulses toward over-excitement con-
corning the wal is essential as well
to the individual as to the national
we1l-being. Americans must keep their
heads cool and their bodies strong in
order to do their full duty in this
great emergency. They must not give
way to feelings of dependency when
temporary discouragements to the adj
vance of the cause occur, 0 should
they become too sanguine of immedi-
ate success when the news comes OF a
decided advantage. The ~untroubled
and serene mind is to be sedulously
cultivated in these stirring times
