WELCOME RELIEF
 FROM GREAT HEAT

Welcome relief from the excessive heat which has prevailed since Sun day was afforded Tby cooling breezes which sprang up about last night Today Is decidedly cooler than the three days preceding. and clouds early today gave indications of showers.
 While the absolute maximum rec ord for the city was not broken in the recent hot spell, according to observa- tions of William Jennings, 1t still goes on the record as one hottest the city has known for years. The maximum recorded by the Jennings thermome- ter was 98 degrees, four below the rec ord. High percentage of humidity made the heat very oppressive.
 Yesterday every one who could es- cape went to the parks and beaches and today if you happen to slap some one on the arm or back you are likely to get yourself disliked. Sunburn is .l very common cause of suffering to- day to those who exposed themselves to the rays of old Sol yesterday.

CHURCHES UNITED
 TEMPORARILY

New Haven, Conn.,. July 25. - At least temporary union of churches in IS Connecticut towns has been &C., complished within a year owing to circumstances resulting from the war, reports a committee of the Conrecti- cut Federation of Churches. Denarn- nations joining in the movement were Baptist, Methodist, Congregational, Free Baptist, Lutheran and 1ndepcn- dent Methodist. Thirty-seve1 church organizations now are combining sar- vices in eighteen buildings. In one town Baptists and Free Baptists unit ed under Methodist minister.
 Each church organization has re- tained it's own officers and adheres to it's own denominational beliefs. In most cases the union is considered a temporary expedient for the period of the war. It is pointed out that the federation of churches is not ire EOcable

FUR PRICES
 WILL BE HIGHER

London, July 25.-Fur dealers in London say that furs in America and Great Britain are to be higher in price next fall and winter than ever Alien furriers in London have advanc- ed the price of the furs they are put ting on the market 200 per cent. since spring and many of these were dam aged skins.
 In some of the London shops fur coats were displayed recently at prices ranging from $2OO to $25O which a short time ago could have been bought for $50 or $75.
 I've are quite at the mercy of the Russian alien workman" British furrier said. They know more about the fur trade than anyone else. would not guarantee the plainest fur coat at $100, as, owing to the lack of proper workmanship and the short age of furs, a coat is often made up of some pieces that are faulty, though some parts of it may be good.
 ''It Is difficult just now to get the alien furriers to do repairing. They are keeping coats and fur wraps in hand for months, as they do not wish to be bothered with repair work while they can be preparing new gar ments for their full harvests of ab- normal prices"

SANITARY CONDITION UNDER INSPECTION

F. J. McEnroe of the State Depart ment of Health has been in Stratford during the past ten days, having been asked to inspect the sanitary cond1- tion of tenements and general living conditions of that place by the health officer, Dr. Lewis.
 At the meeting of the State de- partment it was decided to help out the smaller towns of the state which had no regular sanitary inspector, by sending a state officer to act in that capacity, if the town officials so de- sired. The state officer makes a re- port of conditions as he finds them, and the town has the benefit of an experienced sanitary expert. In many cases if condidtions are found to war rant it, regular inspector is, ap- pointed.
 Mir McEnroe has made a thorough inspection of the stores, restaurants, soda dispensaries, cesspools and yards and as he is an authority on the san itary code, his reports and sugges- tions will be of great benefit to Strat- ford in the line of sanitation.

SKIPPER THOUGHT
 WHALE U-BOAT
 OFF SIERRA LEONE

The captain of a British steamship which has arrived at an Atlantic port from Africa said that all kinds of queer fish and reptiles were to be seen in these days floating on the sur face of the sea, says the. New York World. One day out of Sierra Leone the officer on the bridge sighted ~ha. he believed to be the coming tower Of big submarine close up to the port bow, and called, the attention of the captain to 1t. ''I looked through my binoculars" the captain said, and was just going to give the order to ram the beggar and earn $5,oo0 re- ward from the Admiralty when big spout of water was sent up from the forward end of the, supposed U- boat
 Tt was big whale over 100 feet long with a came1-shaped hump amidships which at the distance look ed exactly like coming tower. I had often heard of these camel whales off the African coast with sea lions riding on their humps, but I had never seen any myself.
 A week ago., the captain contln- ued, when we were off the American coast the lookout man in the crows nest reported big mine two points on the starboard bow. After look ing through the glasses I directed the quartermaster to alter his course sc that we could get close up to the mine and explode it. Apparently 1t was about eight feet long and five feet across the middle where I could see, as I imagined, the divisions be- tween the metal plates. Before the gun could be trained on the supposed mine a small yellow head appeared above the water at one end and prov ed that it was huge turtle. The big marine reptile moved slowly up and down and then disappeared"

MAIL AIRPLANES
 ARE ECONOMICAL
Consume 40 Per Cent. Less Gasoline Than Engines
 Generally Use.

Washington, July 25-The first re- port of the comparative cost of the operation and maintenance of the air mail service shows that the airplanes used in this service have broken rec ords for economy of gas consump- ton.
 The total of all operating expenses of nine airplanes covering flights az gregating 234 miles, was S2,6S2, The total consumption of gas, repre- senting 113 hours and minutes of flying, was 1877 gallons, which is $32.5O per hour-something over 50 cents mile. The total cost of gas alone was $4.05 in flying 7,234 miles.
 The best performance in flying was made by a Curtiss UNA machine, at a cost of $2S.01 an hour and cov- cred 1,719 miles at a cost of 43 1-2 cents mile. A plane equipped with Hispano-Suiza 150 horsepower en- zine, used approximately eight gallons of gas an hour, and a plane equipped with a 400 horsepower Liberty mo- tor, used seventeen gallons an hour This shows 40 per cent. less gasolene consumed than is generally required for airplane engines of these sizes.
 The calculation of operating cost in cludes departmental overhead charges, interest on investment, replacement of parts, deadhead time of mechanics gasoline lubricating oils, office force, motorcycles and trucks, rent, fuel, light and telephone, pay of pilots, hangar men and mechanics.
 The average consumption of gaso- line for the nine planes was twelve gallons an hour.

RAIL SHOPMEN'S
 PAY INCREASED
Higher Wages for 500,000 With 8-Hour Day In
 Addition.

Washington, July 25 - Wages of railroad shop men were increased to 68 cents an hour by Director General McAdoo yesterday, with proportional advances for assistants and miscel- laneous classes in mechanical de- partments. The new rates, which are retroactive to last Jan. 1, are from , to 13 cents an hour higher than the wages paid under the general wage advanced allowed two months ago by the directors general, but are some what less than the labor organiza- tions sought.
 Beginning Aug. 1, eight hours will be recognized as standard working day, and overtime, Sundays and holi- day work will be paid for at the rate of one and one-half times the usual rates. Back pay will be given the men as soon as it can be calculated.
 The advances apply to about 500,- 900 men, and apply fatly to all sec tions of the country. The addition to the aggregate annual pay roll is esti- mated as nearly 100000. The advance is the first extensive modifi- cation of the new wage scale and was made on recommendation of the Commission in Railroad Wages and Working Conditions following repre- sentations of shop crafts that high wages paid to machinists and other mechanical workers in shipyards re- suited in discrimination against rail- road shop employees.
 The full text of the new order which deals in detail with methods of calculating secif1c increases will be issued within the next week.

POET, FAVORITE
 OF KAISER, JAILED
Dr. Ewers, Author of "We and the World" Was
 Propagandist.

New York. July 25-The author of a poem which so pleased the Kaiser that he caused millions of copies to be distributed among German sol diers in the trenches went South yes- terday in one of United States Mar shal Thomas D. McCarthy's periodical shipments of dangerous enemy aliens to the internment camp at Fort Ogle- thorpe in Georgia. The poet was Dr. Hans Heinz Ewers. His masterpiece which won the approval of the Kais- CT was called We and the World"
 Ewers, typically German in appear ance and in his views, was interned to stop the flow of German propa- ganda which came from his pen. He came to the United States in 1914 and ever since had contributed to magazines and newspapers. In recent months his output had been sent ex- clusively to German language publi- cations.
 A statement taken from the record of one of Dr. Ewerss speeches and given out by the Department of Jus tice as Illustrating his views follows Germany will never be the same af- ter the war. She will be more centra- liZed than ever and a stronger Ger manic spirit will be born in the peo- pie. Germany is too strong, toe young, too vigorous to be defeated Her trials and sacrifices now will make her all the stronger in the req world struggle which will follow this war"

RAIDS FOR ARMS
 IN IRELAND

Dublin, July 25:-Raids for arms continue in Ireland and some are re- ported daily. As rule the Sim Fein- CTS meet with no resistance in com mandeering whatever weapons are discoverable in a raided house. But occasionally the owners fight and the raiders suffer. An attack was made recently by six armed men with black ened faces on a woman's house at For bane. A retired army officer living in the house captured two of the raid CTS and drove the others away. The prisoners were committed for trial 10 the Assizes.
 In a case near Tulsk. in Roscom- mon, a party of men with blackened faces raided farmers house in search of arms. They demanded his gun, and when he refused, dragged him out and handled him roughly. He escaped into the house and finding his gun turned it against his assailants who fled.
 The weapons seized by the Sim F'einers are in many instances seized bv the police in counter raids. The other day several shot guns and ann munitiCn were found in Tipperary. In one house during the seizure the police came upon a hoard of one hundred and fifty pounds in silver which they took away.

SIX NEW ARMY DIVISIONS
 TO BE SENT OVER SOON

Washington, July 25-Within the coming week, six new army divisions will be organized in the United States, according to an announcement yesterday by General Payton c. March, chief of staff. The divisions will total approximately 162.00O men and will be ready for foreign service in a few months.
 Whether the organization of the new divisions reflects any of the pro- gram of the part the United States Is to play in aiding Siberia was not dis closed. There is reason to believe that the units to form the vanguard of the movement to Vladivostock al- ready have been chosen. It is un- derstood, however, that the extension of Americas field of military activi- tis has had a bearing upon the action of General March in ordering the i'm mediate organization of the new di- vision.

MANY INDUSTRIES
 HAVE DEVELOPED

Manchester, England, July 25.-Be- fore the war, England, like the Unit. ed States, preferred to buy certain manufactured articles abroad rather than to make them. Magnetos and insulating materials were purchased from America, Germany and Austria. Lenses for field glasses were import ed from Germany.
 Now these artciles are being turned out in the munition factories of this district. Field glass lenses have been giving better satisfact ction to the army and navy than any of German manu- facture.
 Screw milling is another war de- velopment in England. Not one i'll 1000 was made before in any other way than in dies by skilled labor. To- day almost the entire supply of screws used in the country is made by the milling process, the machines being operated by unskilled, worhlnen.
