WHIPPET RACES PROMISED
 FOR THE COUNTY FAIR. Will Be New and Novel Attraction at Fair Grounds This Year.

Talking with Gilbert Raymond, the secretary of the New London County Fair association, on Tuesday, he was asked what he had new for the county fair which opens on Labor day at the old fair grounds. Gilbert smiled and said softly: Got something absolutely new in this neck of the woods. Going to have whippet races" Gee that got me, and I said: w ell go on Hand me the interpretation. I know what you're talking about, but some of your talk gets by me. In other words, what are whippets?"
 Glib smiled at me and said: Well that's pretty good for a bright, upto
 Gato sporting man; don't know what whippets are and as he went off he said: When you find out what they are. come up and I'll give you an eafful." Naturally it was up to me to get busy, and meeting an old time horseman asked him what are whip
 pets, and he said; Be on your way, boy. I'll have none of your nonsense .
 So I dug out the useful handbook and after looking up the word I found that whippets are just dog. No, I'll take that back. Just dogs come in under
 the category ef plain nuts" And, believe me, after digging into the sub ject, l came to the conclusion that whippets are some dog"
 So I took my foot in my hand and ambled up to Gie's office and said: Shoot! I got the whole pedigree of whippets from X to Z. What is your story?' He said: First class in whip petology. stand up." and I stood up and | he said Shoot" So I said "A whip 1 pet is supposed to be a dog. but judg 1 ing by their speed records they are a cross between streak Of greased lightning and 3 greyhound. If one of those dogs met g scared rabbit and they travel at some speed, according 10 all accounts, he would say to the | rabbit, Get out of my way( rabbit, and let somebody run that can run, and brother rabbit when he saw who 1 it was would do that very thing. All i right for the class. It may sit down " and so I did and he did.
 1 Then he said: T have secured for 1 the county fair Prof. Welch's Whippet
 running dogs for one of the feature
 events of the fair. They will not oniy
 race among themselves. but they vii | also race against either runnine
 horse, giving the horse running start, or a motorcycle, and think will have a dog race against one oi | the fastest motorcycle riders in this
 vicinity. probably Wild Rili Burdick
 There are four of these dogs in the group, and they are without doub'
 four Of the most beautiful dogs in the
 world. Long, lean and giving by theii
 build but a trace of the phenomena speed that they have. they are the poetry of motion as they swing into their stride from standing start ant
 fairly burn up the track on their way
 to the finish mark. They will givt daily exhibitors at the fair"

RESERVE BANK URGES
 CREDIT CONSERVATION
Directors Adopt Resolution Urging
 Officers to Aeeuaint Banks With the Importanoe of Conserving Credit

It is clear that the increasing vol tune of government financing makes necessary a far more united and con sistent effort on the part of the bank CTS of the country to conserve and save credit than has heretofore been undertaken. The federal reserve board. accordingly, on July $, address ed a letter to all banks and trust companies requesting them to exer- else "a reasonable discretion to re- strict credits which are clearly not needed for the prosecution of the war nor for the health and necessary com fort of the people" and at the same time asked the federal reserve banks in every practicable way to bring about a better understanding Of the necessity for the conservation Of cred it. Therefore, be 1t
 Resolved that the directors of the Federal Reserve Flank of New York, in full sympathy with the views of the board, hereby direct the officers of the bank. in such ways as may be appropriate, to express to the bank ing institutions of this district the i'm portahce and necessity of conserv in 3 credit
 By endeavoring to secure such gradual reduction fs may be prac- ticabie of loans now carried for non productive Or non -distributiye pur- poses,
 By gradually reducing the amount of credit granted for purposes not clearly necessary for the prosecution of the war or the health and neces- sary comfort of the people, and By educating borrowers Of ali classes to keep their demands for credit down to the very minimum.
 Such a concerted campaign of action and education by the banking insti- tutions of this district will surely lead to a spirit of economy in credit trans actions, as well as tc an actual say ing of credit comparable lo the say ing already effected in food and other commodities and will enable the gov ernment to command the credit thus saved and use it directly and with full force for the winning of the war. It is Of the highest importance however, that nothing should be donc
 to cause undue embarrassment to hor- { rowers Or affect necessary credits Wall Street Journal.

Bennett had been told to set it from the toolbex at the power station and bring it hack when he re- turned from dinner. The injury hap pened while he was on his way to a restaurant and before he had pro- cured the necessary tool.
 In his memorandum of decision, the commissioner states that the man did rot at once consult medical advice be- cause he did not think it was a seri- ous injury and that this is no unusual thing in circumstances of this char acter. The man went to see a doctor when a pain developed in his shoul- der.

THE WEATHER

The tropical disturbance of the last few days after a movement across the Gulf of Mexico unprecedented in rapid ity, passed inland a little east of the mouth of the Sabine River and is ap- parently diminishing in intensity. It appears to be of extremely small di- ameter. and of little severity except in the central portion. E The hot spell first mentioned on Sun day, August 4, has overspread the eastern districts and still continues with but little moderation in western districts.
 The region of high temperature Tuesday night includes the Atlantic coast states form Georgia to New York except along the immediate coast, and thence westward to eastern Kansas and easern. Nebraska. Tuesday after noon the highest temperatures record ed since the beginning of weather bureau observations in 1870 were regi- stered at Washington, Baltimore, Phil ade- -phia Pittsburgh and other points in the east This extraordinary heat is attended by unusual dryness and practically no rainfall east of the Mis- sissippi River.
 Fair weather with continued high temperature is indicated for the Wash ington forecast district for the next 4S hours, There is no immediate pro- spect for cooler weather,
 Winds for Wednesday and Thursday North Atlantic and middle Atlantic moderate south winds and fair weather.

FIRST DAY OF OFFENSIVE
CONSIDERED SATISFACTORY

PARIS, May 28.-The results OF the
first day Of the long expected German
offensive are considered in competent
French quarters as satisfactory. BY
paying the price, it is contended, 1t was
inevitable that the enemy should gain
ground. After the terrific struggle
throughout yesterday the Germans at
a ruinous cost advanced at the farthest
point three and a half miles.
Military officials say the enemy has
won enough ground to bury his dead
and that is all. At no point has the
entente line been pierced. In close con-
tact with the foe. it has moved back
step by step according to schedule, Civ
ing General Foch all the time he needs
to place his reserves-those reserves
whose Whereabouts is an anxious mys-
terry to The Germans where he
wants them.
Military opinion is divided as to
whether the German drive on the Aisne
front is an effort to break through at
scissors and make a dash for Paris by
way of Villers-Cotterets, or whether it
is a maneugre preliminary to and for
the purpose of conceaIing the even
tual main attack against Ameins.
