The heat wave that has been hover
 ing over the city for the past few
 days was broken Wednesday evening
 when an electric storm broke over the
 city shortly before o'clock. The storm came out of the west, preceded
 by black clouds and a cooling breeze. The thermometers about town, which
 registered around 90 degrees, dropped
 down 16 degrees within half an hour,
 greatly to the delight of the swelter- ing populace.
 The storm broke over the city about $50 and although it did not rain con tinuously there was a vivid lightning g display for over an hour. The damage done by the lightning was small com pared to that done during the storm of | last Friday. The fire alarm struck several times and several fuses on
 the alarm circuits were blown out, | but Chief Stanton had them in order l within a short time after the storm. As a precautionary move the electric power at the city plant was shut off during the storm and remained off for about an hour while there was danger | from the lightning. Meanwhile the en- tire city was in darkness, both on the streets and in the stores and houses. Such places as had lamps or candles used these, or if they were more for | tunate, had gas to fall back on. Can dies now promise to be part of the l equipment of Norwich stores during | the rest of the thunderstorm season Several of the telephone circuits of the police call boxes were burned out | during the storm.

ECONOMY IN DELIVERIES
 IS TOPIC DISCUSSED

The state chamber of commerce is fuctuating between New London and New Haven as a place to hold its an nual meeting, as each city has ex- tended an invitation. At meeting of the directors on Wednesday in Hart ford, the place of the annual meeting was discussed without arriving at a decision.
 At the Hartford meeting Wednesday, the chief topic of discussion was the possibility of greatly charging the chamber so as to gain a correspond ing increase in its activities. It was felt that the chamber should be pre- pared to assume new and great bur dens coincident with the transition of war industries to a peace hasis and be ready to direct the commercial af- fairs of the state during the period just following the coming of peace It is likely that some definite recom- mendations will be made to the cham Der at the annual meeting in October
 Reports from the local chambers ot commerce relating to the adoption oi the recommendations concerning cur tailment of deliveries were received Returns from 22 cities and towns showed that in the matter of restrict ing deliveries to one day over eacf route fourteen havxe adopted the re- commendation. six have partially ad- opted it and only two have done noth- ing along this line. Twelve communi- tieS- reporting have eliminated specia deliveries: six have put restrictions or them; and four have taken no step il this direction.

 Many of these 'Frenchmen have been at it for four years, and they are tired but rageous, and they admire us s3 much. I heard an expression yesterday which was very conpli- mentary.. Hanpan who sits next me at table, tried 10 steal French artil- lery captains cigarette case from his pocket. The captain caught him, say ing he was special officer and had the American eye" I asked the French interpreter beside me what was meanl. He said it was a common ex- precision among the French to say "the American eye" because the Americans see so much at a glance.

JOSEPH 6RoADHURsT ON
 TEN DAY FURLOUGH,

Joseph J. c. Broadhurst of AS Lafay- cite street, formerly city editor of The Bulletin, who left here on May 1st for Fort Slocum and was soon sent to Camp Mcclellan in Alabama. and from there to Newport News, Va, ar rived home on Wednesday on a ten day furlough the first time that he has been home since he entered the army.
 MT Broadhurst is now company clerk Of the Second Casual company at Newport News. and finds the service a pleasant one and full of interesting experiences. This has been his line of duty except for the first five weeks when he was at the camp in Alabama in regular infantry company and had all the experience of drilling and long marches under the hot Alabama sun that frequently counted many victims from heat and exhaustion after one ot the training marches.
 In his duties at Newport News he has opportunity to see men from all parts of the country as they are about to start for overseas, as well as others who are returning from France fo1 various reasons.

THUNDER STORM BREAKS HEAT WAVE

During the storm a large limb of a maple tree at the junction of Wash lngton and School streets was blown down, blocking the streets. In falling the limb narrowly missed hitting a man and boy who were passing. Officer Patrick Murphy and Frank Sweeney were sent to the place and dragged the tree to one side and placed red lanterns on it.
 The Shore Line Electric company suffered more inconvenience than | damage by the storm, as the high ten sion wires carried the lightning into the power house at Thamesvil1e and 1 blew out the fuses many times dur ! ing the evening. At the HaMWlle station the power was shut off as a safety measure and as a result the
 trolleys on the Westerly line were de-
 layed about 30 minutes.
 In New London the storm did little | damage, one of the Shore Line cars being burned out On the Thames vile line car was burned out In Groton a bolt of lightning hit 1 the top of the Groton monument and
 dlslodged the capstone, which fell tC l the ground. This is the second time that this has happened, the last time
 being about 20 years ago. The task of putting on a new capstone is diff
 cult one. as a staging has to be erect
 ed and the stone. which weighs nearly half ton, hoisted to the top and se'
 in place.
 The lightning during the storm wa!
 beautiful at times, forming a networl
 of fire in the heavens, and at otheI times making the whole sky glow.

MADE RASH ATTEMPT
 TO BOARD TRAIN

On the New Haven road train due here at 5 o'clock Conductor John Ma rooney frustrated at the navy yard station the attempt of an unknown man to beat his way to Worcester from New London. but the would be traveller got his hands badly cut up on some window glass at the station in a desperate attempt to board the train at the last minute
 The conductor came across the man as he was making his round of the train between New London and the train made the Navy Yard stop. In order to insure that the ticketless pas senger should not board the train again, the conductedr locked him into the station at the Navy Yord.
 It is said that the traveller, who had a suit case with him, had beat his way all the way from New York to New London, and he probably hated tc think that he should be thwarted or the last lap of his journey.
 It was worth a last desperate at tempt, he evidently reasoned, and as the train was moving out after the Navy Yard stop he smashed his suit case through the station window, car | rying away glass and sash, and fol. lowed the suitcase through the hole with his body.
 He was too late to make the traiI l but his hands were seen to be con. | siderably cut by contact with the glas! and he was left standing on the plat l form talking to a marine as the traiI moved out of view.

HOME SERVICE WILL
 HELP SOLDIERS DEPENDENTS

The following statement addressed to soldiers and sailors informing them of the help the Red Cross is prepared to extend to their dependents was is sued on Wednesday by the chairman of the local home service section of the Red Cross. The statement reads:
 Your family-The home service sec ton was organized with just one pur- pose-to see that all families of sol diers and sailors are maintained in comfort and peace of mind while the men are in service.
 Any soldier or sailor who knows or fears that his family is in trouble should appeal at once to homt service He should go at once to the home service man attached to his division here or abroad. or write to his fami.< { otake their troubles to the Red Cross home service section.
 Men in service know they will be taken care of if they are wounded or l sick; they should know also that the home service workers of the Red i Cross are willing to relieve them ot worry concerning their families so fa1 as that is possible,
 ! Relations between the home service
 workers and families are as confden- 1 tial as those between doctors and theil patients. Home service means sym 1 pathy, advice, expert information about | laws and regulations, medical care
 spiritual comfort and everything which
 can be given by real friends to com
 pensate the family for the absence o1
 the man in service.
